at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant currency and Interest Period; or

(ii)

before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed 30 per cent. of the 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

(a)

(b)

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 that it must make) notify the Agent accordingly.

(iv)

the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under clause 14.2(g) or (h) (as applicable) below.

a New Lender that is a Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement which it executes,

the Borrower has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender but:

(A)

that Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or

(B)

HM Revenue & Customs has not given the Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the Borrower DTTP Filing,

and in each case, the Borrower has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and the Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that Borrower to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.

(b)

Clause 14.3(a) above shall not apply:

(i)

with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:

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

(B)

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;

(ii)

to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(A)

is compensated for by an increased payment under clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up); or

(B)

would have been compensated by an increased payment under clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in clause 14.2(d) (Tax gross-up) applied;

(iii)

to the extent a loss, liability or cost relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; or

to the extent a loss, liability or cost relates to a Tax Deduction for Excluded Taxes.

(a)

not a Qualifying Lender;

(b)

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

(c)

a Treaty Lender.

If a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this clause 14.4, then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this clause 14.4.

14.5	Tax Documentation

(a)

Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Finance Document shall deliver to the Obligor and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Obligor or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Obligor or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Obligor or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Obligor or the Agent as will enable the Obligor or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clause 14.5 (Tax Documentation) (b)(i) and (b)(ii)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(b)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Obligor is a U.S. Obligor,

(i)

any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Obligor and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Obligor or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii)

(A)

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to

payments of interest under any Finance Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Finance Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B)

executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C)

(D)

to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of part 2 of schedule 11 or part 3 of schedule 11, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of part 4 of schedule 11 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and

(iii)

any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Obligor and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Obligor or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Obligor or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

each Lender agrees that if it is aware that any form or certification it previously delivered becomes inaccurate (due to a change in facts), it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Obligor and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

14.6	Stamp taxes

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

14.7	Value added tax

(a)

All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such 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 the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).

(b)

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(c)

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

(d)

Any reference in this clause 14.7 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Xxx 0000 or in any equivalent legislation of another jurisdiction).

(e)

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

14.8	FATCA Information

(a)

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

not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(ii)

supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA;

(iii)

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

(b)

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

(c)

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

(i)

any law or regulation;

(ii)

any fiduciary duty; or

(iii)

any duty of confidentiality.

(d)

If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(e)

If the Borrower is a U.S. Tax Obligor or the Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA or any other applicable law or regulation require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of:

(i)

where the Borrower is a U.S. Tax Obligor and the relevant Lender is an Original Lender, the date of this Agreement;

(ii)

where the Borrower is a U.S. Tax Obligor on a Transfer Date and the relevant Lender is a New Lender, the relevant Transfer Date; or

(iii)

where the Borrower is not a U.S. Tax Obligor, the date of a request from the Agent,

supply to the Agent:

(A)

a withholding certificate on Form W-8-BEN-E, Form W-9 or any other relevant form; or

(B)

any withholding statement or other document, authorisation or waiver as the Agent may require to certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA or that other law or regulation.

(f)

The Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above to the relevant Borrower.

(g)

If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the Agent by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Lender shall promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Agent unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Agent). The Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Borrower.

(h)

The Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) or (g) above without further verification. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with paragraphs (e), (f) or (g) above.

14.9	FATCA Deduction

(a)

Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(b)

Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Borrower and the Agent and the Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

14.10

Treatment of Certain Refunds

If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a Tax Credit of, or in respect to, any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this clause 14 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnity) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this clause 14 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnity)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such Tax Credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this clause with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such Tax Credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Credit). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause 14.10 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such Tax Credit to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause 14.10, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause 14.10 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favourable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise

to such Tax Credit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other person.

15.	INCREASED COSTS

19.4	Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this clause 19 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this clause 19, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this clause 19 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:

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;

(d)

any legal limitation, 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;

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. 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:

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

(b)

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.

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);

(v)

to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or

(vi)

to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party.

(b)

If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights 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 Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with clause 30 (Payment mechanics).

19.9	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 then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:

(a)

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

(b)

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.

25.	CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

25.1	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

Subject to this clause 25, a Lender (“Existing Lender”) may:

(a)

assign any of its rights; or

(b)

transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations, under any Finance Document to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (“New Lender”).

25.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer

(a)

The consent of the Borrower is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is:

(i)

to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;

(ii)

if the Existing Lender is a fund, to a fund which is a Related Fund of the Existing Lender; or

(iii)

made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.

(b)

The consent of the Borrower to an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Borrower will be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Borrower within that time.

(c)

An assignment will only be effective on:

(i)

receipt by the Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties and the other Secured Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and

(ii)

the performance by the Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

(d)

A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in clause 25.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

(e)

If:

(i)

a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii)

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under clause 14 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) or clause 15 (Increased costs),

then (unless the assignment, transfer or charge has been made in mitigation in accordance with clause 17 (Mitigation by the Lenders)) 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. This paragraph (e) shall not apply in relation to clause 14.2 (Tax gross up), to a Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (g) of clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up) if the Obligor making the payment has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Treaty Lender.

(f)

Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

25.3	Assignment or transfer fee

Unless the Agent otherwise agrees and excluding an assignment or transfer:

(a)

to an Affiliate of a Lender; or

(b)

to a Related Fund

the New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of £1,000.

25.4	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(a)

Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

(i)

the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Transaction Documents, the Transaction Security or any other documents;

(ii)

the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii)

the performance and observance by any Obligor or any other member of the Group of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or any other documents; or

(iv)

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

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b)

Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender, the other Finance Parties and the Secured Parties that it:

(i)

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 other Finance Party in connection with any Transaction Document or the Transaction Security; and

(ii)

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.

(c)

Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i)

accept a re-transfer or reassignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this clause 25; or

(ii)

support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

25.5	Procedure for transfer

(a)

Subject to the conditions set out in clause 25.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with clause 25.5(c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to clause 25.5(b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate 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.

(b)

The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender upon its completion of all “know your customer” or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

(c)

On the Transfer Date:

(i)

to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights, benefits 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”);

(ii)

each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights and benefits against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor or other member of the Group and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

(iii)

the Agent, the Arrangers, the Security Agent, the New Lender and the other Lenders 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 Agent, the Arranger, the Security Agent and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

(iv)

the New Lender shall become a Party as a Lender.

25.6	Procedure for assignment

(a)

Subject to the conditions set out in clause 25.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) an assignment may be effected in accordance with clause 25.6(c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to clause 25.6(b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement.

(b)

The Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender upon its completion of all “know your customer” or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to the assignment to such New Lender.

(c)

On the Transfer Date:

(i)

the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender its rights under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;

(ii)

the Existing Lender will be released from the obligations (Relevant Obligations) expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement (and any corresponding obligations by which it is bound in respect of the Transaction Security); and

(iii)

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

(d)

Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this clause 25 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents provided that they comply with the conditions set out in clause 25.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer).

25.7	Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Borrower

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate or an Assignment Agreement, send to the Borrower a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement.

25.8	Security Interests over Lenders’ rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this clause 25, 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:

(a)

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

(b)

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:

(i)

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

(ii)

require any payments to be made by an Obligor or grant to any person any more extensive rights than those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

25.9	Pro Rata Interest Settlement

If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to clause 25.5 (Procedure for transfer) or any assignment pursuant to clause 25.6 (Procedure for assignment) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):

(a)

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 including the Transfer Date (Accrued Amounts) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) until 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

(b)

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:

(i)

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

(ii)

the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this clause 25.9, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

25.10

Prohibition on Debt Purchase Transactions

The Borrower shall not, and shall procure that each other member of the Group shall not, enter into any Debt Purchase Transaction or beneficially own all or any part of the share capital of a company that is a Lender or a party to a Debt Purchase Transaction of the type referred to in paragraphs (b) or (c) of the definition of Debt Purchase Transaction.

25.11

Assignment to Federal Reserve Bank

Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, without notice to or consent of any Party, to any U.S. Federal Reserve Bank provided that (i) no Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of any such assignment and pledge and (ii) in no event shall such U.S. Federal Reserve Bank be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action under this Agreement.

25.12

The Register

For U.S. federal income tax purposes only, the Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Obligors, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, as applicable, delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the Commitments of and the principal amounts and stated interest of the obligations owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof and the other Finance Documents. Without

limitation of any other provision of this clause 25 (Changes to the Lenders), no transfer shall be effective until recorded in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and each Obligor, the Agent and each Lender may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each Obligor at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the registration requirements in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1 so that the Loan is considered to be in “registered form” pursuant to such regulation.

26.4	Resignation and release of security on disposal

(a)

In this clause, Third Party Disposal means the disposal of an Obligor to a person which is not a member of the Group where that disposal is permitted under clause 23.13 (Disposals) or made with the approval of the Majority Lenders (and the Borrower has confirmed this is the case).

(b)

If the Borrower or an Obligor is or is proposed to be the subject of a Third Party Disposal then:

(i)

the Borrower shall confirm that no Default is continuing or would result from the Third Party Disposal;

(ii)

the Borrower shall confirm that if that Obligor is a Guarantor, no payment is due from that Guarantor under clause 19.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);

(v)

if the disposal of the Borrower or that Obligor is not made, the release of Transaction Security referred to in clause 26.4(b)(i) above shall have no effect and the obligations of the Borrower or Obligor and the Transaction Security created or intended to be created by or over the Borrower or that Obligor shall continue in full force and effect.

(c)

The resignation of that Obligor shall not be effective until the date of the relevant Third Party Disposal at which time that company shall cease to be an Obligor and shall have no further rights or obligations under the Finance Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor (as applicable).

Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any other Lender or group of Lenders under the relevant Finance Document and unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any instructions given to the Agent by the Majority Lenders shall override any conflicting instructions given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Finance Parties.

as to any matter of fact or circumstance which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of that person; or

(B)

to the effect that such person approves of any particular dealing, transaction, step, action or thing

as sufficient evidence that that is the case and, in the case of paragraph (A) above, may assume the truth and accuracy of that certificate.

SCHEDULE 10

Security Agent

1.	Security Agent as Trustee

(a)

The Security Agent declares that it holds the Transaction Security on trust for the Secured Parties on the terms contained in this agreement.

(b)

Each of the other Finance Parties authorises the Security Agent to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Security Agent under or in connection with the Finance Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions.

2.	Instructions

(a)

The Security Agent shall:

(i)

subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below, exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Security Agent in accordance with any instructions given to it by the Majority Lenders; and

(ii)

not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with paragraph (i) above (or, if this Agreement stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Lender or group of Lenders, in accordance with instructions given to it by that Lender or group of Lenders).

(b)

The Security Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the Majority Lenders (or, if this agreement stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Lender or group of Lenders, from that Lender or group of Lenders) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion and the Security Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives those instructions or that clarification.

(c)

Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any other Lender or group of Lenders under this Agreement and unless a contrary intention appears in this Agreement, any instructions given to the Security Agent by the Majority Lenders shall override any conflicting instructions given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Secured Parties.

(d)

Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

(i)

where a contrary indication appears in this agreement;

(ii)

where this agreement requires the Security Agent to act in a specified manner or to take a specified action;

(iii)

in respect of any provision which protects the Security Agent’s own position in its personal capacity as opposed to its role of Security Agent for the Secured Parties including, without limitation, clauses 5 (No Duty to Account) to clause 10 (Exclusion of Liability), clause 13 (Confidentiality) to clause 20 (Custodians and Nominees) and clause 23 (Acceptance of Title) to clause 26 (Disapplication of Trustee Acts) of this schedule 10;

(e)

If giving effect to instructions given by the Majority Lenders would (in the Security Agent’s opinion) have an effect equivalent to an amendment or waiver which is subject to clause 36 (Amendments and Waivers), the Security Agent shall not act

136

in accordance with those instructions unless consent to it so acting is obtained from each Party (other than the Security Agent) whose consent would have been required in respect of that amendment or waiver.

(f)

In exercising any discretion to exercise a right, power or authority under the Finance Documents where either:

(i)

it has not received any instructions as to the exercise of that discretion; or

(ii)

the exercise of that discretion is subject to paragraph (d)(iv) above,

the Security Agent shall do so having regard to the interests of all the Secured Parties.

(g)

The Security Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of any Lender or group of Lenders until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its discretion require (which may be greater in extent than that contained in the Finance Documents and which may include payment in advance) for any cost, loss or liability (together with any applicable VAT) which it may incur in complying with those instructions.

(h)

Without prejudice to the remainder of this clause 2, in the absence of instructions, the Security Agent may act (or refrain from acting) as it considers in its discretion to be appropriate.

3.	Duties of the Security Agent

(a)

The Security Agent’s duties under the Finance Documents are solely mechanical and administrative in nature.

(b)

The Security Agent shall promptly:

(i)

forward to the Agent a copy of any document received by the Security Agent from any Obligor under any Finance Document; and

(ii)

forward to a Party the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Security Agent for that Party by any other Party.

(c)

Except where a Finance Document specifically provides otherwise, the Security Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.

(d)

If the Security Agent receives notice from a Party referring to any Finance Document, describing a Default and stating that the circumstance described is a Default, it shall promptly notify the other Finance Parties.

(e)

The Security Agent shall have only those duties, obligations and responsibilities expressly specified in the Finance Documents to which it is expressed to be a party (and no others shall be implied).

4.	No fiduciary duties to Borrowers

Nothing in this agreement constitutes the Security Agent as an agent, trustee or fiduciary of any Obligor.

5.	No Duty to Account

The Security Agent shall not be bound to account to any other Secured Party for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.

137

6.	Business with the Group

The Security Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with any member of the Group.

7.	Rights and discretions

(a)

The Security Agent may:

(i)

rely on any representation, communication, notice or document believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised;

(ii)

assume that:

(A)

any instructions received by it from the Majority Lenders, any Lender or any group of Lenders are duly given in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents;

(B)

unless it has received notice of revocation, that those instructions have not been revoked; and

(C)

if it receives any instructions to act in relation to the Transaction Security, that all applicable conditions under the Finance Documents for so acting have been satisfied; and

(iii)

rely on a certificate from any person:

(D)

as to any matter of fact or circumstance which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of that person; or

(E)

to the effect that such person approves of any particular dealing, transaction, step, action or thing,

as sufficient evidence that is the case and, in the case of paragraph (A) above, may assume the truth and accuracy of that certificate.

(b)

The Security Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to the contrary in its capacity as security trustee for the Secured Parties) that:

(i)

no Default has occurred; and

(ii)

any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any Party or any group of Lenders has not been exercised; and

(iii)

any notice made by the [Borrower] is made on behalf of and with the consent and knowledge of all the Obligors.

(c)

The Security Agent may engage and pay for the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts.

(d)

Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (c) above or paragraph (e) below, the Security Agent may at any time engage and pay for the services of any lawyers to act as independent counsel to the Security Agent (and so separate from any lawyers instructed by any other Finance Party) if the Security Agent in its reasonable opinion deems this to be desirable.

(e)

The Security Agent may rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts (whether obtained by the Security Agent or by any other Party) and shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of its so relying.

138

The Security Agent, any Receiver and any Delegate may act in relation to the Finance Documents and the Transaction Security through its officers, employees and agents and shall not:

(i)

be liable for any error of judgment made by any such person; or

(ii)

be bound to supervise, or be in any way responsible for any loss incurred by reason of misconduct, omission or default on the part of any such person,

unless such error or such loss was directly caused by the Security Agent’s, Receiver’s or Delegate’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(g)

Unless this Agreement expressly specifies otherwise, the Security Agent may disclose to any other Party any information it reasonably believes it has received as security trustee under the Finance Documents.

(h)

Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Security Agent is not obliged to do or omit to do anything if it would, or might in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality.

(i)

Notwithstanding any provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Security Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

8.	Responsibility for Documentation

None of the Security Agent, any Receiver nor any Delegate is responsible or liable for:

(a)

the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) supplied by the Security Agent, any Obligor or any other person in or in connection with any Finance Document or the transactions contemplated in the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document;

(ii)

(iii)

any shortfall which arises on the enforcement or realisation of the Transaction Security; or

(iv)

without prejudice to the generality of paragraphs (i) to (iii) above, any damages, costs, losses, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of:

(F)

any act, event or circumstance not reasonably within its control; or

(G)

the general risks of investment in, or the holding of assets in, any jurisdiction,

including (in each case and without limitation) such damages, costs, losses, diminution in value or liability arising as a result of: nationalisation, expropriation or other governmental actions; any regulation, currency restriction, devaluation or fluctuation; market conditions affecting the execution or settlement of transactions or the value of assets; breakdown, failure or malfunction of any third party transport, telecommunications, computer services or systems; natural disasters or acts of God; war, terrorism, insurrection or revolution; or strikes or industrial action.

(b)

No Party (other than the Security Agent, that Receiver or that Delegate (as applicable)) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of the Security Agent, a Receiver or a Delegate in respect of any claim it might have against the Security Agent, a Receiver or a Delegate or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document or any Transaction Security and any officer, employee or agent of the Security Agent, a Receiver or a Delegate may rely on this clause subject to clause 1.8 (Third Party Rights) and the provisions of the Third Parties Act.

(c)

Nothing in this agreement shall oblige the Security Agent to carry out:

(i)

any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person; or

(ii)

any check on the extent to which any transaction contemplated by this Agreement might be unlawful for any other Finance Party,

on behalf of any other Finance Party and each other Finance Party confirms to the Security Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Security Agent.

140

(d)

Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the liability of the Security Agent, any Receiver or Delegate, any liability of the Security Agent, any Receiver or Delegate arising under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been finally judicially determined to have been suffered (as determined by reference to the date of default of the Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate (as the case may be) or, if later, the date on which the loss arises as a result of such default) but without reference to any special conditions or circumstances known to the Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate (as the case may be) at any time which increase the amount of that loss. In no event shall the Security Agent, any Receiver or Delegate be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not the Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate (as the case may be) has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.

11.	Finance Parties’ Indemnity to the Security Agent

(a)

Each other Finance Party shall (in the proportion that the amounts due to it bear to the aggregate of the amounts due to all the Finance Parties for the time being (or, if the amounts due to the Finance Parties are zero, immediately prior to their being reduced to zero)), indemnify the Security Agent and every Receiver and every Delegate, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability incurred by any of them (otherwise than by reason of the relevant Security Agent’s, Receiver’s or Delegate’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate under, or exercising any authority conferred under, the Finance Documents (unless the relevant Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document).

(b)

Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Borrower shall immediately on demand reimburse any Finance Party for any payment that Finance Party makes to the Security Agent pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

(c)

Paragraph (b) above shall not apply to the extent that the indemnity payment in respect of which the Finance Party claims reimbursement relates to a liability of the Security Agent to an Obligor.

12.	Resignation of the Security Agent

(a)

The Security Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates as successor by giving notice to the other Finance Parties and the Borrower.

(b)

Alternatively the Security Agent may resign by giving 30 days’ notice to the other Finance Parties and the Borrower, in which case the Majority Lenders may appoint a successor Security Agent.

(c)

If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Security Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above within 20 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Security Agent (after consultation with the Agent) may appoint a successor Security Agent.

(d)

The retiring Security Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Security Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Security Agent under the Finance Documents. The Borrower shall, within three

141

Business Days of demand, reimburse the retiring Security Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) properly incurred by it in making available such documents and records and providing such assistance.

(e)

The Security Agent’s resignation notice shall only take effect upon:

(i)

the appointment of a successor; and

(ii)

the transfer of all the Transaction Security to that successor.

(f)

Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Security Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under clause 24 (Winding up of Trust) of this schedule 10 and paragraph (d) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of this clause 11 and clause 16.4 (Indemnity to the Security Agent) (and any Security Agent fees for the account of the retiring Security Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if that successor had been an original Party.

(g)

The Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Security Agent, require it to resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above. In this event, the Security Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above.

13.	Confidentiality

(a)

In acting as trustee for the Secured Parties, the Security Agent shall be regarded as acting through its trustee division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments.

(b)

If information is received by another division or department of the Security Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the Security Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.

(c)

Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Security Agent is not obliged to disclose to any other person (i) any confidential information or (ii) any other information if the disclosure would, or might in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty.

14.	Information from the Finance Parties

Each Finance Party shall supply the Security Agent with any information that the Security Agent may reasonably specify as being necessary or desirable to enable the Security Agent to perform its functions as Security Agent.

15.	Credit Appraisal by the Secured Parties

Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Secured Party confirms to the Security Agent that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to:

(a)

the financial condition, status and nature of each member of the Group;

(b)

the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document, the Transaction Security and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security;

142

(c)

(d)

(b)

Where the Security Agent is named on any insurance policy as an insured party, it shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person as a result of its failure to notify the insurers of any material fact relating to the risk assumed by such insurers or any other information of any kind, unless the Majority Lenders request it to do so in writing and the Security Agent fails to do so within fourteen days after receipt of that request.

20.	Custodians and Nominees

145

(b)

no Secured Party is under any commitment, obligation or liability (actual or contingent) to make advances or provide other financial accommodation to any Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents,

the trusts set out in this agreement shall be wound up and the Security Agent shall release, without recourse or warranty, all of the Transaction Security and the rights of the Security Agent under each of the Transaction Security Documents; and

(ii)

any Security Agent which has resigned pursuant to clause 12 of this schedule 10 (Resignation of the Security Agent) shall release, without recourse or warranty, all of its rights under each Transaction Security Document.

25.	Powers Supplemental to Trustee Acts

26.	Disapplication of Trustee Acts

Section 1 of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the duties of the Security Agent in relation to the trusts constituted by this agreement. Where there are any inconsistencies between the Trustee Xxx 0000 or the Trustee Xxx 0000 and the provisions of this agreement, the provisions of this agreement shall, to the extent permitted by law and regulation, prevail and, in the case of any inconsistency with the Trustee Xxx 0000, the provisions of this agreement shall constitute a restriction or exclusion for the purposes of that Act.

27.	Power of Attorney

28.	Release of Security

(a)

The Security Agent may at its sole discretion and without reference to any other Finance Party take such action as it deems necessary or advisable to release any assets from the Security constituted by the Transaction Security Documents to the extent that their disposal or release is:

(i)

permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement including pursuant to any instructions given to it in accordance with clause 2 (Instructions) of this schedule 10; or

(ii)

permitted or required by the original form of any other Finance Document and will not result or could not reasonably be expected to result in any breach of the terms of this Agreement.

146

(b)

If:

(i)

all of the shares in the capital of any member of the Group are to be disposed of, which would result in any Obligor ceasing to be a member of the Group; or

(ii)

any asset which is the subject of a Transaction Security Document is to be disposed of to a person outside (and which will remain outside) the Group,

and in any such case:

(iii)

(iv)

the Security Agent has received instructions from the relevant Finance Parties that comply with clause 2 (Instructions) instructing it to release the relevant Security and/or Guarantees over such asset; or

the disposal is permitted by the terms of the relevant Finance Document and will not result or could not reasonably be expected to result in any breach of any of the terms of this Agreement; or

(vi)

the disposal is being made at the request of the Security Agent in circumstances where any Security created by the Transaction Security Documents has become enforceable; or

(vii)

the disposal is being effected by enforcement of a Transaction Security Document,

then, in the case of a disposal contemplated by paragraph (a) above, the Security provided by that Obligor over its assets under the Transaction Security Documents and any related guarantees given by, or in respect of, such Obligor will be released and in the case of a disposal contemplated by paragraph (b) above those assets will be released from such Security, in each case at the expense of the relevant Obligor.

(c)

The Security Agent is authorised by each other Finance Party to execute (on behalf of itself and each such Finance Party) all releases of any Security or any guarantee resulting from any disposal contemplated in clauses 28(a) and 28(b) above of this schedule 10, without the need for any further referral to, or authority from, any other Party, including any formal release of any asset which the Security Agent in its absolute discretion considers necessary or desirable in connection with that disposal.
