	(b)	(to the extent that such Letter of Credit has been subsequently repaid or prepaid) to repay that Lender an amount equal to that Lender's L/C Proportion of the amount of such repayment or prepayment; or

	(c)	(to the extent that that Lender's Commitment is reduced and the same results in a change to its L/C Proportion) to repay that Lender the amount by which (i) the amount standing to the credit of the account exceeds (ii) the amount equal to that Lender's L/C Proportion (after the relevant reduction in its Commitment) of the relevant outstanding amount of that Letter of Credit;

(3)	(subject to condition (4) below) that Lender has executed a security document over that account, in form and substance satisfactory to the Fronting Bank creating first ranking Security over that account; and

The Utilisation Date for such a proposed Loan shall be the date on which the cash cover should have been made by the Borrower in accordance with Clause 6.10.1. The Interest Period for such a Loan shall be determined by the Facility Agent.

	6.11.2	If a deemed Loan is made in accordance with Clause 6.11.1, the proceeds of that deemed Loan shall be held by the Fronting Bank as cash cover for the applicable Extended Letter of Credit.

6.12	Deemed participation in the Extended Letter of Credit

	On and from the date on which full cash cover in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is provided pursuant to Clause 6.10 (Cash cover in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit) and/or Clause 6.11 (Deemed Loans) and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (i) to the extent that the Fronting Bank is not a Lender it shall be deemed to be a Lender and (ii) the L/C Proportion of the Fronting Bank in respect of that Extended Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be one hundred per cent.

10.3.1

If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to Clause 10.3.2, is *** redacted commercially sensitive term negotiated between the parties *** higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 10.3 (Default interest) shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Facility Agent.

10.3.2	If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

	(A)	the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

(B)

the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be *** redacted commercially sensitive term negotiated between the parties *** higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

10.3.3

	11.2.2	If the Facility Agent makes any of the changes to an Interest Period referred to in this Clause 11.2, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders.

11.3	Non-Business Days

12.	CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

12.1	Absence of quotations

	Subject to Clause 12.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11.00 a.m. on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

12.2	Market disruption

	12.2.1	If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender's share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

		(A)	the applicable Margin;

		(B)	the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and

		(C)	the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender's participation in the Loan.

	12.2.2	In this Agreement "Market Disruption Event" means:

		(A)	at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period; or

		(B)	before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed ***redacted commercially sensitive term negotiated between the parties *** of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR.

12.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding

	12.3.1	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall, without prejudice to the operation of Clause 12.2 (Market disruption), enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

	12.5.3	Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige a Canadian Obligor to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to such Canadian Obligor, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

	12.5.4	If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Obligor to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Finance Party in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Finance Party of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by that Finance Party of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

		(A)	first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and

		(B)	thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

	14.2.2	The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower and that Obligor.

	14.2.3	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

	14.2.4	If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

14.2.5

Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

14.3	Tax indemnity

	14.3.1	The Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.

	14.3.2	Clause 14.3.1 above shall not apply:

(A)	with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:

	(1)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

	(2)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party's Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

		if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or

(B)	to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up).

	14.3.3	A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under Clause 14.3.1 above shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower.

	14.3.4	A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity), notify the Facility Agent.

14.4	Tax Credit

	If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:

	14.4.1	a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

	14.4.2	that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.

14.5	Stamp taxes

	The Borrower shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

14.6	Value added tax

	14.6.1	All amounts set out or expressed in a Finance Document to be payable by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on any such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to Clause 14.6.2, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party).

	14.6.2	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 "Subject Party") is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT.

	14.6.3	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.

	14.6.4	Any reference in this Clause 14.6 (Value added tax) 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).

15.	INCREASED COSTS

15.1	Increased costs

	15.1.1	Subject to Clause 15.3 (Exceptions), the Borrower shall, within three Business Days of a demand by the Facility Agent, pay for the account of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Costs incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of (i) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement.

15.1.2

In this Agreement "Increased Costs" means:

	(A)	a reduction in the rate of return from the Facility or on a Finance Party's (or its Affiliate's) overall capital;

	(B)	an additional or increased cost; or

	(C)	a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Finance Document,

which is incurred or suffered by a Finance Party or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Finance Party having entered into its Commitment or funding or performing its obligations under any Finance Document.

15.2	Increased cost claims

	15.2.1	A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to Clause 15.1 (Increased costs) shall notify the Facility Agent of the event giving rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower.

	15.2.2	Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Costs.

15.3	Exceptions

	15.3.1	Clause 15.1 (Increased costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is:

		(A)	attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by an Obligor;

		(B)	compensated for by Clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in Clause 14.3.2 (Tax indemnity) applied);

		(C)	compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost; or

		(D)	attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance Party or its Affiliates of any law or regulation.

	15.3.2	In this Clause 15.3 (Exceptions), a reference to a "Tax Deduction" has the same meaning given to the term in Clause 14.1 (Definitions).

16.	OTHER INDEMNITIES

16.1	Currency indemnity

	16.1.1	If any sum due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (a "Sum" ), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the "First Currency") in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the "Second Currency" ) for the purpose of:

		(A)	making or filing a claim or proof against that Obligor;

		(B)	obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings,

		that Obligor shall as an independent obligation, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party to whom that Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum.

	16.2.3	funding, or making arrangements to fund, its participation in a Utilisation requested by the Borrower in a Utilisation Request but not made by reason of the operation of any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement (other than by reason of default or negligence by that Finance Party alone);

	16.2.4	a Utilisation (or part of a Utilisation) not being prepaid in accordance with a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower;

19.1	Guarantee and indemnity

	Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:

	19.1.1	guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Obligor of all that Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

	19.1.2	undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever an Obligor does not pay any amount when due or expressed to be due under or in connection with any Finance Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

19.1.3

agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of an Obligor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 19 (Guarantee and indemnity) if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

19.2	Continuing guarantee

	This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

19.3	Reinstatement

	If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance 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 Clause 19 (Guarantee and indemnity) will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

19.4	Waiver of defences

	The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 19 (Guarantee and indemnity) will not be affected by (and the intention of each Guarantor is that its obligation shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding) an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 19.4 (Waiver of defences), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 19 (Guarantee and indemnity) (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:

	19.4.1	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

	19.4.2	the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Obligor or other person;

	19.4.3	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

	19.4.4	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;

	19.4.6	any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security; or

	Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 19.4 (Waiver of Defences), each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

19.6	Immediate recourse

	Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance 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 Clause 19 (Guarantee and indemnity). This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

19.7	Appropriations

	Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

	19.7.1	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance 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

	19.7.2	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Clause 19 (Guarantee and indemnity).

19.8	Deferral of Guarantors' rights

	19.8.1	Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 19 (Guarantee and indemnity):

		(A)	to be indemnified by an Obligor;

		(B)	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

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

		(D)	to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 19.1 (Guarantee and indemnity); and/or

		(E)	to exercise or claim any right of set off or counterclaim against any other Obligor or any other person liable or claim or prove in competition with the Finance Parties in the bankruptcy or liquidation of any other Obligor or any other person liable or have the benefit of, or share in, any payment from or composition with, any other Obligor or any other person liable or any other Security now or hereafter held by the Finance Parties in respect of the obligations of any Obligor under the Finance Documents or for the obligations or liabilities of any other person liable but so that, if so directed by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, it will prove for the whole or any part of its claim in the liquidation or bankruptcy of any other Obligor on terms that the benefit of such proof and of all of the money received by it in respect thereof shall be held on trust for the Finance Parties and applied in or towards discharge of the obligations of the Obligors under the Finance Documents in such manner as the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee (as the case may be) shall deem appropriate.

	19.8.2	Without prejudice to Clause 19.8.1 or Clause 19.9 (Authority), if an Obligor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights described in Clause 19.8.1 it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee or as the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee may direct for application in accordance with Clause 33 (Payment Mechanics).

19.9	Authority

	If any Obligor fails to claim or prove in the liquidation or bankruptcy of any other Obligor promptly upon being directed to do so by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee as contemplated by Clause 19.8.1(E):

	19.9.1	the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee (as the case may be) may, and is irrevocably authorised on behalf of such Obligor to, file any claims or proofs in such liquidation or bankruptcy on its behalf; and

	19.9.2	the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidator, assignee or other person distributing the assets of any Obligor or their proceeds is directed to pay distributions on the obligations or liabilities of such Obligor direct to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee (as the case may be) on behalf of the Finance Parties until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full.

19.10	Release of Guarantors' right of contribution

	If any Guarantor (a "Retiring Guarantor") ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor that is permitted under the terms of the Finance Documents, then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:

	19.10.1	that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and

	19.10.2	each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

19.11	Additional security

	This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.

19.12	Further assurance

	Each Guarantor agrees that it shall promptly, at the direction of the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee, execute and deliver at its own expense any document (executed as a deed or under hand as the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee may direct) and do any act or thing reasonably required in order to confirm or establish the validity and enforceability of the guarantee and indemnity intended to be created by it under this Clause 19 (Guarantee and indemnity).

19.13	Stay of acceleration

	If acceleration of the time for payment, or the liability of a Guarantor to make any payment, of any amount specified to be payable by a Guarantor in respect of the obligations guaranteed pursuant hereto is stayed, prohibited or otherwise affected upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganisation or winding-up of a Guarantor or other event affecting a Guarantor or affecting the payment of any of the obligations guaranteed by a Guarantor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration or payment shall nonetheless be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be and to have become due and payable by the Guarantor and shall be payable by the Guarantor under this Agreement immediately after demand therefore.

	20.1.2	Each such Obligor shall give such notices as the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the perfection or protection of the Finance Parties' security over the Project Accounts or for the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of this Clause 20 (Project Accounts).

The amount must be paid into the relevant Project Account immediately after it is converted into a permitted currency.

	20.1.5	The restrictions on the withdrawal of funds from Project Accounts contained in this Agreement will not affect the obligations of the Obligors to make all payments required to be made to the Finance Parties on the respective due dates for payment in accordance with the Finance Documents.

	20.1.8	The English Account Bank will not be obliged to make available to any Obligor any sum which it is expecting to receive for the account of that Obligor until it has been able to establish that it has received that sum.

	20.1.9	Neither the ability of the Obligors to make any withdrawal from a Project Account in accordance with this Agreement nor any such withdrawal will be construed as a waiver by any Finance Party of any Security over the Project Accounts.

	20.1.10	Subject to Clause 20.8 (Other accounts), no member of the Group may open and maintain any bank, deposit, savings or other type of account other than a Project Account.

20.2	Withdrawals

	20.2.1	No payments to, or withdrawals from, any Project Account may be made except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

		(B)	if, prior to the date of the relevant proposed withdrawal, the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee notifies the relevant Account Bank that the withdrawal is not or would not be permitted under any Finance Document,

		provided that nothing in this Clause will prevent the English Account Bank complying with its obligations under law.

	20.2.3	No Obligor may make any withdrawal from a Project Account at any time whilst an Event of Default is continuing except:

	(A)	in the case of the Revenue Accounts, as expressly permitted under Clauses 20.3 (Revenue Accounts) or 20.4 (Egyptian Revenue Account); or

	(B)	with the Security Trustee's specific consent.

(B)

the Security Trustee will be entitled (but not obliged) without prior notice to, or the consent of, any Obligor to be the sole signatory on the Project Accounts.

20.2.5

The Facility Agent shall promptly notify each Account Bank of the occurrence of the Enforcement Date. Each Account Bank shall be entitled to treat any such notice at face value.

20.3	Revenue Accounts

	20.3.1	Each Borrowing Base Obligor shall maintain an account (an "English Revenue Account") with the English Account Bank and each Egyptian Borrowing Base Obligor shall in addition maintain an account (an "Egyptian Revenue Account") with the Egyptian Account Bank.

	20.3.2	Each Borrowing Base Obligor shall procure that all amounts received by it (or to its order) are paid directly to a Revenue Account maintained by it.

	20.3.3	Subject to Clause 9.3 (Cover Ratio Event) and Clause 20.2 (Withdrawals), a Borrowing Base Obligor may withdraw amounts from the Revenue Account maintained by it at the following times and for the following purposes (which may include transfers to other members of the Group for the following purposes):

		then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

26.2.8	A Lender may not assign or transfer any of its Commitment for any Specified Period without also assigning or transferring an equal proportion of the amount of its Commitment for each of the other Specified Periods.

	(A)	has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor 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 or any existing Finance Party in connection with any Finance Document; and

	(B)	will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

26.4.3	Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender or any existing Finance Party to:

	(A)	accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 26 (Changes to the Lenders); or

	26.5.3	Subject to Clause 26.10 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

		(A)	to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security shall be cancelled (being the "Discharged Rights and Obligations");

106

	(B)	each of the Obligors 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 Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

	(C)	the existing Finance Parties and the New Lender shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Transaction Security as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the existing Finance Parties and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

107

(C)

the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender" and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

26.6.4

Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 26.6 (Procedure for assignment) to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or unless in accordance with Clause 26.5 (Procedure for transfer), to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 26.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer).

	In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 26 (Changes to the Lenders) each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:

	26.9.1	any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

	26.9.2	in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

	(A)	release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

	26.10.1	any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date ("Accrued Amounts") and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and

	26.10.2	the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

	(A)	when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the Existing Lender; and

	(B)	the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 26.10 (Pro rata interest settlement), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

133

	32.4.1	each Sharing Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 32.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay) (the "Redistributed Amount"); and

	33.11.5	the Facility Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including for negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Facility Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this Clause 33.11 (Disruption to Payment Systems etc.); and

	35.3.3	All notices from or to an Obligor shall be sent through the Facility Agent.

35.5	Communication when Facility Agent is Impaired Agent

	If the Facility Agent is an Impaired Agent the Parties may, instead of communicating with each other through the Facility Agent, communicate with each other directly and (while the Facility Agent is an Impaired Agent) all the provisions of the Finance Documents which require communications to be made or notices to be given to or by the Facility Agent shall be varied so that communications may be made and notices given to or by the relevant Parties directly. This provision shall not operate after a replacement Facility Agent has been appointed.

35.6	Electronic communications

	35.6.1	Any communication to be made between the Facility Agent and a Lender under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be made by electronic mail or other electronic means, if the Facility Agent and the relevant Lender:

	(B)	notify each other in writing of their electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt of information by that means; and

	(C)	notify each other of any change to their address or any other such information supplied by them.

36.	CALCULATIONS AND CERTIFICATES

144

37.	PARTIAL INVALIDITY

	If, at any time, any provision of the Finance Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

38.	REMEDIES AND WAIVERS

	No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Finance Party, any right or remedy under the Finance Documents shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

39.	AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

In addition, each Obligor hereby authorises the Borrower to effect, on its behalf, any amendment or waiver permitted by this Clause 39 (Amendments and waivers). In any event, each Party shall take such action as the Facility Agent may reasonably request in order to ensure that such amendment or waiver that is permitted by this Clause 39 (Amendments and waivers) is promptly effected.

	39.3.1	If at any time an Obligor becomes obliged to repay any amount in accordance with Clause 9.1 (Illegality) or to pay additional amounts pursuant to Clause 15.1 (Increased Costs) or Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up) to any Lender in excess of amounts payable to the other Lenders generally then the Borrower may, on 15 Business Days' prior written notice to the Facility Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 26 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Lender or other bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (a "Replacement Lender") selected by the Borrower, and which is acceptable to the Facility Agent (acting reasonably), which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of the transferring Lender (including the assumption of the transferring Lender's participations on the same basis as the transferring Lender) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's participation in the outstanding Utilisations and all accrued interest and/or Break Costs and other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents.

	39.3.2	The replacement of a Lender pursuant to this Clause 39.3 (Replacement of Lender) shall be subject to the following conditions:

		(A)	the Borrower shall have no right to replace an Administrative Finance Party;

146

(C)

in no event shall the Lender replaced under this Clause 39.3.2 be required to pay or surrender to such Replacement Lender any of the fees received by such Lender pursuant to the Finance Documents.

39.4	Disenfranchisement of Defaulting Lenders

	39.4.1	For so long as a Defaulting Lender has any Available Commitment, in ascertaining the Majority Lenders or whether any given percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of the Aggregate Commitments has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the Finance Documents, that Defaulting Lender's Commitments will be reduced by the amount of its Available Commitments.

	39.4.2	For the purposes of this Clause 39.4 (Disenfranchisement of Defaulting Lenders), the Facility Agent may assume that the following Lenders are Defaulting Lenders:

		(A)	any Lender which has notified the Facility Agent that it has become a Defaulting Lender; and

		(B)	any Lender in relation to which it is aware that any of the events or circumstances referred to in paragraphs (A), (B) or (C) of the definition of "Defaulting Lender" has occurred,

unless it has received notice to the contrary from the Lender concerned (together with any supporting evidence reasonably requested by the Facility Agent) or the Facility Agent is otherwise aware that the Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender.

39.5	Replacement of a Defaulting Lender

	39.5.1	The Borrower may, at any time a Lender has become and continues to be a Defaulting Lender, by giving 15 Business Days' prior written notice to the Facility Agent and such Lender:

to a Lender or other bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (a "Replacement Lender") selected by the Borrower, and which (unless the Facility Agent is an Impaired Agent) is acceptable to the Facility Agent (acting reasonably), which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations or all the relevant obligations of the transferring Lender (including the assumption of the transferring Lender's participations or unfunded participations (as the case may be) on the same basis as the transferring Lender) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's participation in the outstanding Utilisations and all accrued interest (to the extent that the Facility Agent has not given a notification under Clause 26.10 (Pro rata interest settlement), Break Costs and other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents.

147

40.1	Confidential Information

	Each Finance Party agrees to keep all Confidential Information confidential and not to disclose it to anyone, save to the extent permitted by Clause 40.2 (Disclosure of Confidential Information), and to ensure that all Confidential Information is protected with security measures and a degree of care that would apply to its own confidential information.

	Any Finance Party may disclose:

	40.2.1	to any of its Affiliates and Related Funds and any of its or their officers, directors, employees, professional advisers, insurers, insurance brokers, auditors, partners and Representatives such Confidential Information as that Finance Party shall consider appropriate if any person to whom the Confidential Information is to be given pursuant to this Clause 40.2.1 is informed in writing of its confidential nature and that some or all of such Confidential Information may be price-sensitive information except that there shall be no such requirement to so inform if the recipient is subject to professional obligations to maintain the confidentiality of the information or is otherwise bound by requirements of confidentiality in relation to the Confidential Information;

148

40.2.2	to any person:

	(2)	in relation to Clause 40.2.2(D), the person to whom the Confidential Information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking or is otherwise bound by requirements of confidentiality in relation to the Confidential Information they receive and is informed that some or all of such Confidential Information may be price-sensitive information;

	(3)	in relation to Clauses 40.2.2 (E), (F) and (G), the person to whom the Confidential Information is to be given is informed of its confidential nature and that some or all of such Confidential Information may be price-sensitive information except that there shall be no requirement to so inform if, in the opinion of that Finance Party, it is not practicable so to do in the circumstances;

	40.2.3	to any person appointed by that Finance Party or by a person to whom Clause 40.2.2(A) or (B) applies to provide administration or settlement services in respect of one or more of the Finance Documents including without limitation, in relation to the trading of participations in respect of the Finance Documents, such Confidential Information as may be required to be disclosed to enable such service provider to provide any of the services referred to in this Clause 40.2.3 if the service provider to whom the Confidential Information is to be given has entered into a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of the LMA Master Confidentiality Undertaking for Use With Administration/Settlement Service Providers or such other form of confidentiality undertaking agreed between the Borrower and the relevant Finance Party;

	40.2.4	to any rating agency (including its professional advisers) such Confidential Information as may be required to be disclosed to enable such rating agency to carry out its normal rating activities in relation to the Finance Documents and/or the Obligors if the rating agency to whom the Confidential Information is to be given is informed of its confidential nature and that some or all of such Confidential Information may be price-sensitive information.

40.3	Entire agreement

	This Clause 40 (Confidentiality) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties in relation to the obligations of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents regarding Confidential Information and supersedes any previous agreement, whether express or implied, regarding Confidential Information.

150

40.4	Inside information

	Each of the Finance Parties acknowledges that some or all of the Confidential Information is or may be price-sensitive information and that the use of such information may be regulated or prohibited by applicable legislation including securities law relating to insider dealing and market abuse and each of the Finance Parties undertakes not to use any Confidential Information for any unlawful purpose.

40.5	Notification of disclosure

	Each of the Finance Parties agrees (to the extent permitted by law and regulation) to inform the Borrower:

	40.5.2	upon becoming aware that Confidential Information has been disclosed in breach of this Clause 40 (Confidentiality).

40.6	Continuing obligations

	The obligations in this Clause 40 (Confidentiality) are continuing and, in particular, shall survive and remain binding on each Finance Party for a period of twelve months from the earlier of:

	40.6.1	the date on which all amounts payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been paid in full and all Commitments have been cancelled or otherwise cease to be available; and

	40.6.2	the date on which such Finance Party otherwise ceases to be a Finance Party.

41.	COUNTERPARTS

	Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of the Finance Document.

42.	GOVERNING LAW

	This Agreement and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter, existence, negotiation, validity, termination or enforceability (including any non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

151

43.	ENFORCEMENT

43.1	Jurisdiction

	43.1.1	Save where a Finance Document expressly provides to the contrary, the courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with any Finance Document or its subject matter, existence, negotiation, validity, termination or enforceability (including any non-contractual dispute or claim) (a "Dispute").

	43.1.2	Subject to Clause 43.1.3 below, the Parties agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no Obligor will:

		(A)	argue to the contrary; or

		(B)	initiate or pursue any proceedings relating to a Dispute in any jurisdiction other than England.

	43.1.3	This Clause 43.1 (Jurisdiction) is for the benefit of the Finance Parties only. As a result, no Finance Party shall be prevented from initiating or pursuing proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction nor from contending that such courts are appropriate and convenient. To the extent allowed by law, the Finance Parties may initiate or pursue:

		(A)	proceedings in any other court; and

		(B)	concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions,

		irrespective of whether proceedings have already been initiated by any Party in England.

43.2	Service of process

	Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Obligor (other than an Obligor incorporated in England and Wales):

	43.2.1	irrevocably appoints *** redacted confidential information *** as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Dispute; and

	43.2.2	agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the relevant Obligor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

This Agreement has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of this Agreement.

SCHEDULE 7

MANDATORY COST FORMULA

1.	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2.	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Facility Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the "Additional Cost Rate") for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Facility Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

3.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Facility Agent as follows: per cent. per annum.

	Where:

is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5.	For the purposes of this Schedule:

	5.1	"Fees Rules" means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

	5.2	"Fee Tariffs" means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

	5.3	"Tariff Base" has the meaning given to that term in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

6.	If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

169

7.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Facility Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

	(A)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

	(B)	any other information that the Facility Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

	Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph 8.

8.	The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of "E" above shall be determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, each Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

9.	The Facility Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.

10.	The Facility Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above.

11.	Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

12.	The Facility Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
