B    The Parties have agreed to amend and restate the Facility Agreement on the terms of this Agreement.

It is agreed:

Without prejudice to the rights of any Finance Party which have arisen on or before the Effective Date:

(a)each Obligor confirms that, on and from the Effective Date the Facility Agreement (as amended and restated by this Agreement), and the other Finance Documents, will remain in full force and effect; and

(b)the Parent confirms that, on and after the Effective Date, its guarantee, undertaking and indemnity contained in clause 18 (Guarantee and indemnity) of the Facility

(including as amended and restated by this Agreement).

The Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal and other professional fees and VAT) reasonably incurred by it in connection with this Agreement.

8    Counterparts

9    Governing law and enforcement

9.1    Governing law

This Agreement is governed by English law.

9.2    Enforcement

The provisions of clause 43 (Enforcement) of the Facility Agreement shall apply to this Agreement as it applies to the Facility Agreement.

(vii)    any increase in the Commitments shall take effect on the date specified by the Borrower in the notice referred to above or any later date on which the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Increase Confirmation delivered to it by the relevant Increase Lender.

(c)The Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Increase Confirmation delivered to it by an Increase Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assumption of the increased Commitments by that Increase Lender.

(d)Each Increase Lender, by executing the Increase Confirmation, 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 increase becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as it would have been had it been an Original Lender.

(i)Clause 24.5 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders) shall apply mutatis mutandis in this Clause 2.2 in relation to an Increase Lender as if references in that Clause to:

2.3    Finance Parties' rights and obligations

(a)The obligations of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several. Failure by a Finance Party to perform its obligations under the Finance Documents does not affect the obligations of any other Party under the Finance Documents. No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents.

(b)The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from an Obligor is a separate and independent debt in respect of which a Finance Party shall be entitled to enforce its rights in accordance with paragraph (c) below. The rights of each Finance Party include any debt owing to that Finance Party under the Finance Documents and, for the avoidance of doubt, any part of a Loan or any other amount owed by an Obligor which relates to a Finance Party's participation in the Facility or its role under a Finance Document (including any such amount payable to the Agent on its behalf) is a debt owing to that Finance Party by that Obligor.

(c)A Finance Party may, except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, separately enforce its rights under or in connection with the Finance Documents.

2.4    Obligors' Agent

(a)    The Parent by its execution of this Agreement irrevocably appoints the Borrower (acting through one or more authorised signatories) to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Finance Documents and irrevocably authorises:

(i)the Borrower on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the Finance Parties and to give and receive all notices and instructions and other communications, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements, variations and waivers capable of being given, made or effected by the Parent notwithstanding that they may affect the Parent, without further reference to or the consent of the Parent; and

(ii)each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to the Parent pursuant to the Finance Documents to the Borrower,

and in each case the Parent shall be bound as though the Parent itself had given the notices and instructions or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication.

(b)    Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by the Borrower or given to the Borrower under any Finance Document on behalf of the Parent or in connection with any Finance Document (whether or not known to the Parent) shall be binding for all purposes on the Parent as if the Parent had expressly made, given or

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9280C6A2-0B54-4105-ADC3-B64316B92B07

concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the Borrower and the Parent, those of the Borrower shall prevail.

2.5    Extension Option

(a)    Subject to the provisions of this Clause 2.5, the Borrower may request the exercise of the Extension Option by submitting an Extension Request to the Agent. The Borrower may submit no more than two Extension Requests. Any Extension Request is irrevocable and may not be withdrawn

(b)    An Extension Request shall not be valid unless it is delivered to the Agent on a Business Day falling not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to the Termination Date which then applies (the Existing Termination Date). The Agent shall promptly forward any Extension Request to the Lenders,

(c)    Upon receipt of an Extension Request, each Lender (acting in its sole discretion) shall have the right to decide whether to accept or decline it, and if it agrees to accept it, what conditions (if any) it may wish to impose on its provision.

(d)    If a Xxxxxx agrees to accept the Extension Request then it must notify the Agent of its acceptance (such notice being a Notice of Extension) by no later than the date falling 20 days prior to the Existing Termination Date. Upon receipt of such Notice of Extension, the Agent shall promptly forward the same to the Borrower. If a Lender does not give such Notice of Extension by such date, that Lender shall be deemed to have refused that extension. Nothing shall oblige a Lender to agree to an Extension Request.

(e)    If a Lender has agreed to the request made in the Extension Request then, subject to paragraph (g) below, the Termination Date applicable to that Lender shall be extended to the date falling 365 days after the Existing Termination Date.

(f)    If a Lender has declined the request made in the Extension Request, the Borrower shall repay that Xxxxxx's participation in the Loans made to the Borrower on the Existing Termination Date.

(g)    Any agreement of a Lender under this Clause 2.5 to extend the Termination Date in respect of its Commitments is subject to the further conditions precedent that on the date of the Extension Request and the date upon which it is proposed that the Termination Date is extended in accordance with paragraph (e) above:

(i)the Repeating Representations are true in all material respects; and

(ii)no Default is continuing or would be reasonably likely to result from the proposed extension.

(h)    On or before any extension of the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent an extension fee in an amount to be agreed at the time that the Extension Request is delivered (such fee to be determined as a percentage of Commitments and distributed by the Agent to the Lenders who have agreed to extend their Commitments (on a pro rata basis)).

(i)    The operation of this Clause 2.5 (Extension Option) is separate from the right of the Borrower to request an extension of the Termination Date to 14 October 2023 in

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9280C6A2-0B54-4105-ADC3-B64316B92B07

accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of the definition of "Termination Date" in Clause 1.1 (Definitions).

(ii)that on the date of that Accordion Option Notice the Repeating

(e)    The Borrower may only implement Additional Commitments to the extent that following implementation of any requested increase, the Total Commitments do not at any time after the date of this Agreement exceed USD 100,000,000 in aggregate.

(f)    All Additional Commitments shall be made available on the same terms (including as to Margin, fees, ranking, pro rata sharing, availability period, currencies in which the Additional Commitments may be drawn and termination date) as the Facility and the Additional Commitments may not enjoy the benefit of any more onerous financial covenants or other terms than apply to the Facility generally.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9280C6A2-0B54-4105-ADC3-B64316B92B07

receipt by it of a duly completed Accordion Option Notice appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Accordion Option Notice); and

(iii)    in relation to an Accordion Lender which is not a Lender immediately prior to

the relevant increase, the date on which the Agent confirms that it has completed all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assumption by the Accordion Lender of the relevant Additional Commitments, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Borrower and the Accordion Lender,

such date being the Accordion Option Increase Date.

(i)the increase in the Total Commitments shall take effect on the Accordion Option Increase Date;

(ii)each Additional Commitment will be assumed by the relevant Accordion Lender, each of whom by executing the relevant Accordion Option Notice confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all of the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that part of the Additional Commitments which it is to assume, as if it had been an Original Lender;

(iv)to the extent not already a Party as a Lender, each Accordion Lender shall become a Party as a Lender and each Accordion Lender and each of the other Finance Parties shall assume obligations towards one another and acquire rights against one another as that Accordion Lender and those Finance Parties would have assumed and/or acquired had the Accordion Lender been an Original Lender; and

(v)the Commitments of the other Lenders shall continue in full force and effect (and, for the avoidance of doubt, their amount shall not be varied by the assumption of Commitments by an Accordion Lender pursuant to this Clause 2.6).

(n)    Clause 24.5 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders) shall apply mutatis mutandis in this Clause 2.6 in relation to an Accordion Lender as if references in that Clause to:

Total Outstandings means the aggregate of all Outstandings.

(b)    If the Agent exercises any of its rights under Clause 23.13 (Acceleration) (other than declaring Loans to be due on demand), each Lender and each Ancillary Lender shall promptly adjust (by making or receiving (as the case may be) corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Finance Documents relating to the Outstandings) their claims in respect of amounts outstanding to them under the Facility and each Ancillary Facility to the extent necessary to ensure that after such transfers the Outstandings of each Lender bear the same proportion to the Total Outstandings as such Xxxxxx's Commitment bears to the Total Commitments, each as at the date the Agent exercises the relevant right(s) under 23.13 (Acceleration).

(c)If an amount outstanding under an Ancillary Facility is a contingent liability and that contingent liability becomes an actual liability or is reduced to zero after the original adjustment is made under paragraph (b) above, then each Lender and Ancillary Lender will make a further adjustment (by making or receiving (as the case may be) corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Finance Documents relating to Outstandings to the extent necessary) to put themselves in the position they would have been in had the original adjustment been determined by reference to the actual liability or, as the case may be, zero liability and not the contingent liability.

(d)Any transfer of rights and obligations relating to Outstandings made pursuant to this Clause 6.6 shall be made for a purchase price in cash, payable at the time of transfer, in an amount equal to those Outstandings (less any accrued interest, fees and commission to which the transferor will remain entitled to receive notwithstanding that transfer, pursuant to Clause 24.10 (Pro rata interest settlement)).

(b)The Borrower shall specify any relevant Affiliate of a Lender in any notice delivered by the Parent to the Agent pursuant to paragraph (b)(i) of Clause 6.2 (Availability).

(i)its Ancillary Commitment; or

(ii)the Ancillary Commitment of its Affiliate.
6.10 Amendments and Waivers – Ancillary Facilities

No amendment or waiver of a term of any Ancillary Facility shall require the consent of any Finance Party other than the relevant Ancillary Lender unless such amendment or waiver itself relates to or gives rise to a matter which would require an amendment of or under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under this Clause 6). In such a case, Clause 36 (Amendments and waivers) will apply.

7    Repayment

(a)The Borrower shall repay each Loan on the last day of its Interest Period.

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

(B)in whole or in part for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Loan; and

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9280C6A2-0B54-4105-ADC3-B64316B92B07

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

    (A)    if the amount of the maturing Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of

the new Loans:

1)the relevant Borrower will only be required to make a payment under Clause 30.1 (Payments to the Agent) in an amount in the relevant currency equal to that excess; and

2)each Lender's participation in the new Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Xxxxxx's participation in the maturing Loan and that Lender will not be required to make a payment under Clause 30.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Loans ; and

    (B)    if the amount of the maturing Loan is equal to or less than the

aggregate amount of the new Loans:

1)the relevant Borrower will not be required to make a payment under Clause 30.1 (Payments to the Agent); and

2)each Lender will be required to make a payment under Clause 30.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Loans only to the extent that its participation in the new Loans exceeds that Xxxxxx's participation in the maturing Loan and the remainder of that Xxxxxx's participation in the new Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Xxxxxx's participation in the maturing Loan.

(c)At any time when a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that Lender in the Loans then outstanding will be automatically extended to the last day of the Availability Period and will be treated as separate Loans (the Separate Loans).

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

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

(b)a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or

(c)a Treaty Lender.

If such a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 13.5 then that Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrower).

doubt, the documentation which a Xxxxxx executes on becoming a Party as a Lender shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause 13.5.

(b)    If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier) to any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(i)(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(ii)(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(c)    Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d)    Any reference in this Clause 13.7 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and

unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time(the term "representative member" to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994).

(e)    In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that Party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

13.8 FATCA information

(a)    Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(iii)    supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

(b)    If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

(c)    Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(i)any law or regulation;
