(e) The Company may pay to the Increase Lender a fee in the amount and at the times agreed between the Company and the Increase Lender in a letter between the Company and the Increase Lender setting out that fee. A reference in this Agreement to a Fee Letter shall include any letter referred to in this paragraph.

(f) Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, the Lenders make no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to an Increase Lender for:

(i) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

(ii) the financial condition of any Security Party;

(iii) the performance and observance by any Security Party of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

(iv) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(g) Each Increase Lender confirms to the Lenders and the other Creditors that it:

(i) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and each Owner 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 Combined Creditors in connection with any Finance Document; and

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

(h) Nothing in any Finance Documents obliges a Lender to:

(i) accept a transfer or assignment from an Increase Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this clause 2.2; or

(ii) support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by an Increase Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Security Party of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

Obligations several

2.3 The obligations of each Creditor under the Finance Documents are several.

Interests several

2.4 Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement the interests of the Creditor are several and the amount due to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee (for its own account) and to each other Creditor is a separate and independent debt.

(d) without prejudice to or limitation of the obligations of the Company under clause 4.15(b), in the event that the Hedge Counterparties exercise any of their rights under clause 4.15 and such exercise results in all or part of a Hedging Transaction being terminated such Hedging Transaction or the part thereof terminated (which shall for the purposes hereof be treated as a separate Hedging Transaction) in each case shall be treated under the Master Swap Agreements in the same manner as if it were a Terminated Transaction (as defined in Section 14 of each Master Swap Agreement) pursuant to an Event of Default (as so defined in that Section 14) by the Company and, accordingly, the Hedge Counterparties shall be permitted to recover from the Company a payment for early termination calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(e)(i) of each Master Swap Agreement in respect of such Hedging Transaction.

Clawback

6.5 Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

Impaired Agent

6.7 If, at any time, the Facility Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, the Company or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Facility Agent in accordance with clauses 6.1 and 6.2 (Payments to the Facility Agent) may instead either pay that amount direct to the required recipient or pay that amount to an interest-bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the definition of Acceptable Bank (as defined in the Restructuring Agreement) and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Company or the Lender making the payment and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents. In each case such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.

6.8 All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of the beneficiaries of that trust account pro rata to their respective entitlements.

14.6 If at any time the proportion which any Lender (the Recovering Lender) has received or recovered (other than from an Assignee, a Substitute or a sub-participant in such Lender’s Contribution or any other payment of an amount due to the Recovering Lender for its sole account pursuant to clauses 5.1, 12.1 or 13.1) in respect of its share of any payment to be made for the account of the Recovering Lender and one or more other Lenders under any of the Finance Documents is greater (the amount of the excess being referred to in this clause 14.6 as the excess amount) than the proportion of the share of such payment received or recovered by the Lender receiving or recovering the smallest or no proportion of its share, then:

(a) within two (2) Business Days of such receipt or recovery, the Recovering Lender shall pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal (or equivalent) to the excess amount;

(b) the Facility Agent shall treat such payment as if it were part of the payment to be made by the Company and shall distribute the same in accordance with clause 14.1; and

(c) as between the Company and the Recovering Lender the excess amount shall be treated as not having been paid but the obligations of the Company to the other Lenders shall, to the extent of the amount so paid to them, be treated as discharged.

Each Lender shall forthwith notify the Facility Agent of any such receipt or recovery by such Lender other than by payment through the Facility Agent. If any excess amount subsequently has to be wholly or partly refunded by the Recovering Lender which paid an amount equal thereto to the Facility Agent under (a) above each Lender to which any part of such amount was distributed shall on request from the Recovering Lender repay to the Recovering Lender such Lender’s pro-rata share of the amount which has to be refunded by the Recovering Lender. Each Lender shall on request supply to the Facility Agent such information as the Facility Agent may from time to time request for the purpose of this clause 14.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause 14.6 no Recovering Lender shall be obliged to share any excess amount which it receives or recovers pursuant to legal proceedings taken by it to recover any sums owing to it under this Agreement with any other party which has a legal right to, but does not, either join in such proceedings or commence and diligently pursue separate proceedings to enforce its rights in the same or another court (unless the proceedings instituted by the Recovering Lender are instituted by it without prior notice having been given to such party through the Facility Agent).

No release

14.7 For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that failure by any Recovering Lender to comply with the provisions of clause 14.6 shall not release any other Recovering Lender from any of its obligations or liabilities under clause 14.6.

No charge

14.8 The provisions of this clause 14 shall not, and shall not be construed so as to, constitute a charge by a Lender over all or any part of a sum received or recovered by it in the circumstances mentioned in clause 14.4.

Further assurance

14.9 The Company undertakes that the Finance Documents shall both at the date of execution and delivery thereof and so long as any moneys are owing under any of the Finance Documents be valid and binding obligations of the respective parties thereto and rights of the Facility Agent enforceable in accordance with their respective terms and that it will, at its expense, execute, sign, perfect and do, and will procure the execution, signing, perfecting and doing by each of the other Security Parties of, any and every such further assurance, document, act or thing as in the reasonable opinion of the Facility Agent and/or Lenders may be necessary or desirable for perfecting the security contemplated or constituted by the Finance Documents.

15.3 The Company shall not be entitled pursuant to clause 15.5 to withdraw moneys standing to the credit of the Earnings Account which are the subject of a fixed term deposit until the expiry of

the period of such deposit unless the Company shall, on withdrawing such moneys pay to the Account Bank on demand any loss or expense which the Account Bank shall certify that it has sustained or incurred as a result of such withdrawal being made prior to the expiry of the period of the relevant deposit and the Account Bank shall be entitled to debit the Earnings Account for the amount so certified prior to such withdrawal being made.

Any deposit accounts shall, for all the purposes of the Finance Documents and the Existing Finance Documents, be deemed to be sub-accounts of the Earnings Account from which the moneys deposited in the deposit accounts were transferred and all references in the Finance Documents and the Existing Finance Documents to the Earnings Account shall be deemed to include the deposit accounts deemed as aforesaid to be sub-accounts thereof.

Earnings Account: withdrawals

15.5 Unless the Security Trustee otherwise agrees in writing, the Company shall not be entitled to withdraw any moneys from the Earnings Account at any time from the date of this Agreement and so long as any moneys are owing under the Finance Documents and the Existing Finance Documents save that, unless and until a Default shall occur and the Security Trustee shall direct to the contrary, the Company may, subject to clauses 15.2, 15.3 and 15.4, only withdraw moneys from the Earnings Account in accordance with the provisions of the Restructuring Agreement.

(b) the Substitute party to the relevant Substitution Certificate and the existing parties to this Agreement (other than the Lender party to such Substitution Certificate) shall assume obligations towards each other which differ from the discharged obligations only insofar as they are owed to or assumed by such Substitute instead of to or by such Lender; and

and, on the date upon which such novation takes effect, the Substitute shall pay to the Facility Agent for its own account a fee of US$2,000. The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the other parties hereto of the receipt by it of any Substitution Certificate or any Increase Confirmation and shall promptly deliver a copy of such Substitution Certificate or Increase Confirmation to the Company.

Documenting assignments and novations

16.10 If any Lender assigns all or any part of its rights or novates all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations as provided in clauses 16.3 or 16.4 the Company undertakes, immediately on being requested to do so by the Facility Agent and at the cost of the Lender that has so assigned or novated all or any part of its rights and/or obligations, to enter into, and procure that the other Security Parties shall enter into, such documents as may be necessary or desirable to transfer to the Assignee or Substitute all or the relevant part of such Lender’s interest in the Finance Documents and all relevant references in this Agreement to such Lender shall thereafter be construed as a reference to the Lender and/or its Assignee or Substitute (as the case may be) to the extent of their respective interests.

Facility Office

16.11 Each Lender shall lend through its office at the address specified in Schedule 1 or, as the case may be, in any relevant Substitution Certificate or through any other office of such Lender selected from time to time by it through which such Lender wishes to lend for the purposes of this Agreement. If the office through which such Lender is lending is changed pursuant to this clause 16.11, such Lender shall notify the Facility Agent promptly of such change and the Facility Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Company.

No implied waivers, remedies cumulative

18.17 No failure or delay on the part of the Facility Agent, the other Combined Creditors or any of them to exercise any power, right or remedy under any of the Finance Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Facility Agent, the other Combined Creditors or any of them of any power, right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.
