25.3.2.1 has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

25.4 Procedure for transfer

25.4.1 Subject to the conditions set out in clause 25.2 (Conditions of cessions, assignments or transfers) a transfer is effected in accordance with clause 25.4.3 when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate and Accession Undertaking delivered to it by the Existing Lender and/or the New Lender as the case may be. The Facility Agent shall, subject to clause 25.4.2 as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate and Accession Undertaking 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 Accession Undertaking.

25.4.2 The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate and Accession Undertaking delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New 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 transfer to such New Lender.

25.4.3 On the Transfer Date:

25.4.3.1 to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate and Accession Undertaking the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by cession and delegation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the Borrowers and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

Page 122

25.4.3.2 each of the Borrowers and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Borrower and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Borrower and the Existing Lender;

25.4.3.3 the Facility Agent, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been a Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

25.4.3.4 the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.
