The principles of interpretation set out in Clause 1.4 (Interpretation and construction) of the Schedule of Definitions apply to this Agreement as if fully set out in this Agreement.
2. | PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE OF SUPPORTED OBLIGATIONS |
2.1 | Performance of Supported Obligations |
(a) | The Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, with and for the benefit of the Purchaser, the Funding Agent, the Lender and the other Secured Parties (the Beneficiaries) jointly and severally: |
(i) | to cause the due and punctual performance and observance by each of the Sellers and the Servicer (the Sellers and the Servicer being collectively called the Supported Parties), of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings on the part of the Supported Parties to be performed or observed under the Transaction Documents to which any Supported Party is or hereafter becomes a party and any other agreements and other documents delivered from time to time by each Supported Party pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, including any agreement of a Supported Party to pay any money or deposit Collections under any Transaction Document (all such terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings on the part of a Supported Party to be performed or observed being collectively called the Supported Obligations); and |
(ii) | to pay, forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to the relevant Supported Party, all costs and expenses (including court costs and legal expenses) incurred or expended or which need to be incurred or expended, by that Supported Party in connection with the Supported Obligations, this Agreement and the enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Agreement from the time when such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a 365 day year) equal to the rate of interest per annum which is the aggregate of the Overnight Rate plus 2%.

(b) | In the event that any Supported Party shall fail in any manner whatsoever to perform or observe any Supported Obligation when the same shall be required to be performed or observed
by it under the Transaction Document(s) to which it is a party, then the Parent will itself, on first demand, duly and punctually perform or observe, or cause to be duly and punctually performed or observed, such Supported Obligation. Subject to
Clause |
2.2 | Supported Obligations absolute |
(a) | The Parent will perform its obligations under this Agreement regardless of any law, rule, regulation or order now or in the future in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the terms of the Transaction Documents or the rights of the Purchaser, the Funding Agent or any other Secured Party in respect of any of the Transaction Documents, provided that such performance will not breach any law, rule, resolution or order (having the force of law) with which the Parent is required to comply. |
(b) | The obligations of the Parent under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: |
(i) | any lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document; |
(ii) | any change in the time, manner or place of performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Supported Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the terms of any Transaction Document; |
(iii) | any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the terms of any other guaranty or surety agreement, for all or any of the Supported Obligations; |
(iv) | any failure to obtain any authorisation or approval from or other action by, or to notify or file with, any governmental authority or regulatory body required in connection with the performance of such obligations by the Parent; or |
(v) | any other circumstance which might constitute a defence available to, or a discharge of, any Supported Party or the Parent, or any other circumstance, event or happening whatsoever, whether foreseen or unforeseen and whether similar or dissimilar to anything referred to above in this Clause 2.2. |
(c) | This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment by any Supported Party, any Obligor or any other Person is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Purchaser, the Funding Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganisation of such Supported Party, such Obligor or any other such Person or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. |

(ix) | any failure on the part of CL or any Supported Party to perform or comply with any term of the Receivables Transfer Agreement, the Servicing Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or |

2.5 | Subrogation |

4.2 | Taxes |
(a) | All payments and distributions made under this Agreement by the Parent to the Funding Agent or any other Secured Party to whom a payment is owing by the Parent (each, a recipient) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and any other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on any recipient (or any Conduit Assignee) (such items being called Taxes), except to the extent required by applicable Law or practice. |

(ii) | the recipient of that additional amount reasonably determines (in its sole, good faith opinion) that, as a result of that additional tax payment or relevant deduction or withholding, it is effectively entitled to obtain and retain a refund of any Taxes or a tax credit in respect of Taxes which reduces the tax liability of that recipient (tax savings), then |

(iii) | that recipient shall, to the extent it can do so without prejudice to the amount of any other deduction, credit or relief, following effective receipt of such tax savings reimburse to the Parent such amount as such recipient shall reasonably determine (in its sole, good faith opinion) to be the proportion of the tax savings as will leave such recipient (after such reimbursement) in no better or worse position than it would have been in had the payment by the Parent in respect of which the foregoing additional tax payment was made not been subject to any withholding or deduction on account of Taxes, and |
(iv) | the Parent shall bear all loss, liability, cost or expense associated with any steps or actions taken by the recipient in connection with paragraphs (e)(ii) and (e)(iii) above. |
(f) | If the Parent shall have received from any recipient any amount described in Clause 4.2(e) and it is subsequently determined that such recipient was not entitled to obtain or retain the amount of the tax savings claimed, then the Parent shall repay such amount to such recipient. Each recipient shall have sole discretion to arrange its affairs (including its tax affairs) without regard to Clause 4.2(b) or Clause 4.2(e) and no recipient shall be obligated to disclose any information regarding its affairs (including its tax affairs) or computations to the Parent. |

such Indemnified Party to be material, then from time to time, within 10 days after demand by such Indemnified Party through the Funding Agent, the Purchaser shall pay to the Funding Agent, for the benefit of such Indemnified Party, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party (or its parent) for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, any rule, regulation or interpretation issued by any financial accounting standards board shall constitute an adoption, change, request or directive subject to this Clause 7.2(b). |
(c) | The Funding Agent shall promptly notify the Purchaser of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the date of this Agreement, which will entitle an Indemnified Party to compensation pursuant to Clause 7.2; provided that no failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall affect the Indemnified Party’s right to receive such compensation. A notice by the Funding Agent or the applicable Indemnified Party claiming compensation under this Clause 7.2(c) and setting out the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it under this Agreement shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Funding Agent or any applicable Indemnified Party may use any reasonable averaging and attributing methods. |
7.3 | Taxes |
(a) | All payments and distributions made by the Purchaser to the Lender |
(b) | In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment made by the Purchaser under this Agreement is required in respect of any Taxes, then the Purchaser shall: |

(ii) | pay (or procure the payment of) directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; |

(iv) | except in the case of Excluded Taxes, pay (or procure the payment of) to the relevant recipient such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by that recipient will equal the full amount that such recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. |
(c) | If any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) are directly asserted against any recipient with respect to any payment or income earned or received by that recipient under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, the payor will, to the extent not otherwise paid under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction |

Document, promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received and retained by that recipient after the payment of those Taxes (including any Taxes on that additional amount) shall equal the amount that recipient would have received had those Taxes not been asserted. |
(d) | If the Purchaser fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the recipient the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, in each case, in accordance with Clause 7.3(b), the Purchaser shall indemnify the recipient for any incremental Taxes, interest, or penalties that may become payable by the recipient as a result of such failure. |
(e) | In the event that: |
(i) | the Purchaser pays any additional amount or amounts pursuant to Clause 7.3(b)(iv) (an additional tax payment); and |
(ii) | the recipient of an additional tax payment reasonably determines (in its sole, good faith opinion) that, as a result of the payment of such additional tax payment or relevant deduction or withholding, it is effectively entitled to obtain and retain a refund of any Taxes or a tax credit in respect of Taxes which reduces the tax liability of that recipient (a tax savings), |
then that recipient shall, to the extent it can do so without prejudice to the amount of any other deduction, credit or relief, following effective receipt of such tax savings, reimburse to the Purchaser such amount as that recipient shall reasonably determine (in its sole, good faith opinion) to be the proportion of the tax savings as will leave such recipient (after that reimbursement) in no better or worse position than it would have been in had the payment by the Purchaser in respect of which the foregoing additional tax payment was made not been subject to any withholding or deduction on account of Taxes.
(f) | If the Purchaser shall have received from any recipient any amount described in Clause 7.3(e) and it is subsequently determined that that recipient was not entitled to obtain or retain the amount of the tax savings claimed, then the Purchaser shall repay that amount to that recipient; provided that: |
(i) | the Purchaser has received an equivalent payment from another source pursuant to the terms of one or more Transaction Documents; and |
(ii) | the Purchaser shall be required to return only so much of that amount as shall leave the Purchaser in no better or worse position than it would have been in had it not previously received any reimbursement of any portion of such tax savings. |
(g) | Each recipient shall have sole discretion to arrange its affairs (including its tax affairs) without regard to Clause 7.3(e) or 7.3(f) and no recipient shall be obligated to seek a refund or to disclose any information regarding its affairs (including its tax affairs) or computations to the Purchaser. |
(h) | If the Purchaser is obliged to make a payment to a recipient which is a Treaty Person, that recipient and the Purchaser shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the Purchaser to obtain authorisation to make that payment without having to make a deduction or withholding. |

(i) | The Purchaser shall not be required to pay an additional amount or amounts under Clause 7.3(b) or 7.3(c) in respect of any Taxes if and to the extent that such Taxes would not have been payable if: |
(i) | at the relevant time the recipient had been a Treaty Person, but at that time the recipient is not a Treaty Person other than as the result of any change after the date on which it became Party to any Transaction Document in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any Law or published practice of any taxing authority; or |
(ii) | the recipient had complied with its obligations under Clause 7.3(h). |
7.4 | Other costs and expenses |
(a) | The Purchaser agrees, upon receipt of a written invoice, to pay or cause to be paid, and to hold the Lender, the Funding Agent and the Arranger harmless against liability for the payment of, all direct and reasonable out of pocket expenses (including legal advisers’, accountants’ and other third parties’ fees and expenses, any filing fees and expenses incurred by officers or employees of the Lender, the Funding Agent, or the Arranger) or intangible, documentary or recording taxes incurred by or on behalf of the Lender, the Funding Agent or the Arranger in connection with: |

7.5 | Breakage costs |
(a) | The Purchaser shall pay the Lender, on demand, such amount or amounts as shall compensate the Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Lender as a result of: |
(i) | any Advance not being made on the date on which that Advance was to be made pursuant to Clause 2 (Advances and payments) or |

(ii) | any Advance being repaid on a date other than a Monthly Settlement Date. |
(b) | In the case of any amount payable as a result of Clause 7.5(a)(ii), the amount shall be limited to the amount by which: |
(i) | any loss or expense suffered by the Lender during the period from the date of receipt of such repayment to (but excluding) the next Monthly Settlement Date; exceeds |
(ii) | the income, if any, received by the recipient from investing the proceeds of that repayment. |
(c) | The determination by the Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set out in a written notice to the Purchaser in reasonable detail and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. |
7.6 | Currency indemnity |
If under any applicable Law or regulation, or pursuant to a judgment or order being made or registered against the Purchaser or any Seller Party, or the liquidation of any of the Purchaser or any Seller Party or for any other reason, any payment under or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document is made (including any payment pursuant to Clause 7) (Indemnification; expenses; related matters) or fails to be satisfied, in a currency (the payment currency) other than the currency in which such payment is expressed to be due under or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document or, in the event no currency is specified, a currency determined by the Person (in its reasonable good faith opinion) to whom such payment is owed or otherwise payable (the contractual currency), then, to the extent that the amount of such payment actually received by any Indemnified Party (the payee) when converted into the contractual currency at the rate of exchange falls short of the amount due, the Purchaser or relevant Seller Party (the currency payor) as a separate and independent obligation, shall indemnify and hold harmless the payee against the amount of that shortfall. For the purposes of this Clause 7.6, the term rate of exchange means the rate at which the payee is able, on or about the date of such payment, to purchase, in accordance with its normal practice, the contractual currency with the payment currency and shall take into account (and the currency payor shall be liable for) any premium and other costs of exchange including any taxes or duties incurred by reason of any such exchange.

Repurchase under certain circumstances
4.4 | (a) If the Purchaser notifies a Seller in writing: |
(i) | (after the Transfer but before a Collection in relation to an Affected Asset and to the extent that no Warranty Amount has been paid), that a material breach of any representation or warranty made or deemed made by that Seller pursuant to Clause 5.2(a) (Perfection; good title) or Clause 5.2(b) (Accuracy of information) has occurred and requires that the Seller remedies that breach and the Seller fails to cure that breach within five Business Days of the receipt of that notice, or, in the case of the representations and warranties in Clause 5.2(a) (Perfection; good title), three Business Days of the receipt of that notice; and/or |
(ii) | that the Transfer of any Receivable and Affected Assets have not taken effect as a true sale at law or a declaration of trust at law of the Receivable and Affected Assets or, as applicable, the proceeds thereof, as the case may be, |
that Seller shall:
(A) | in relation to its Assignable Receivables, repurchase from the Purchaser those Assignable Receivables and other related Affected Assets specified by the Purchaser in that notice; and |

(i) | determination of the Purchaser’s actual damages in that instance is likely to be difficult; |
(ii) | the obligation of the relevant Seller to pay the repurchase or termination price pursuant to Clause 4.4(b) is a reasonable approximation of the actual damages suffered by the Purchaser, undertaken in good faith; and |

it will, in each case, first offer the Seller who originally Transferred that Receivable to the Purchaser, the right to repurchase that Receivable or to remove that Receivable or, where applicable, the proceeds thereof from the Trust Property in consideration for the payment of an amount equal to the Unpaid Balance of the relevant Receivable.
(b) | For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller which is offered the right to repurchase any Receivable or to remove that Receivable or, where applicable, the proceeds thereof from the Trust Property, as referred to in Clause 4.5(a), shall be under no obligation to accept that offer. |
