A reference in this Agreement to a Fee Letter shall include any letter referred to in this paragraph.

(g) Clause 29.4 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders) shall apply mutatis mutandis in this Clause 2.2 in relation to an Increase Lender as if references in that Clause to:

(iii) all reasonable expenses (including but not limited to legal fees) actually incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of, or any amendments made to, any Letter of Credit; and

(iv) any other additional expenses which are customarily charged by the Issuing Bank in connection with any non-standard Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued by a local branch or Affiliate of the Issuing Bank outside such location as is notified to the Obligors’ Agent by the Issuing Bank, it being agreed that the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue such non-standard Letters of Credit or Letters of Credit issued by a local branch or Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that is outside such location.

If the outstanding amount of a Letter of Credit is reduced, any Fronting Fee (in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit only) and Letter of Credit Fee accrued in respect of the amount of that reduction shall be payable on the day that that reduction becomes effective. The accrued Fronting Fee (in the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit only) and Letter of Credit Fee on a Letter of Credit is also payable on the cancelled amount of any Lender’s Commitment at the time the cancellation is effective if that Commitment is cancelled in full and the Letter of Credit is prepaid or repaid in full.

(b) The relevant Borrower shall within the Maximum Period following demand pay to the Agent for the Issuing Bank an amount equal to the amount of any claim provided that, in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit only, if no Default has occurred, the currency of such Fronted Letter of Credit is the Base Currency or an Optional Currency and no (or insufficient) cash cover has been provided in respect of that Fronted Letter of Credit, the relevant Borrower may elect by notice to the Agent that a Loan in an amount equal to the amount of such claim (or where applicable the amount by which the amount of such claim exceeds the amount of cash cover provided in respect of that Fronted Letter of Credit) will be deemed to have been drawn on the date of such notice with an Interest Period of one Month (unless the relevant Borrower elects otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in such notice) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.

(c) Each relevant Borrower acknowledges that the Issuing Bank:

(i) is not obliged to carry out any investigation or seek any confirmation from any other person before paying a claim; and

(b) In the case of a Fronted Letter of Credit only, each Revolving Facility Lender shall (according to its L/C Proportion) immediately on demand indemnify the Fronting Issuing Bank against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Fronting Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason of the Fronting Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as the Fronting Issuing Bank under any Fronted Letter of Credit (unless the Fronting Issuing Bank has otherwise been reimbursed by the relevant Borrower pursuant to a Finance Document, including, without limitation, by such Borrower providing cash cover in respect of such Fronted Letter of Credit).

81

(c) The relevant Borrower shall within the Maximum Period following demand reimburse any Lender for any payment it makes to the Fronting Issuing Bank under this Clause 7.4 (Indemnities) in respect of that Fronted Letter of Credit.

in the currency of that Fronted Letter of Credit to an interest-bearing account held in the name of that Lender with the Fronting Issuing Bank.

(b) The Non-Acceptable L/C Lender to whom a request has been made in accordance with paragraph (a) above shall enter into a security document or other form of collateral arrangement over the account, in form and substance satisfactory to the Fronting Issuing Bank, as collateral for any amounts due and payable under this Agreement by that Lender to the Fronting Issuing Bank in respect of that Fronted Letter of Credit.

(c) Subject to paragraph (f) below, until no amount is or may be outstanding under that Fronted Letter of Credit, withdrawals from the account may only be made to pay to the Fronting Issuing Bank amounts due and payable to the Fronting Issuing Bank by the Non-Acceptable L/C Lender under this Agreement in respect of that Fronted Letter of Credit.

(d) Each Revolving Facility Lender shall notify the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent:

(i) on the date of this Agreement or on any later date on which it becomes such a Lender in accordance with Clause 2.2 (Incremental Facilities), Clause 2.3 (Increase) or Clause 29 (Changes to the Finance Parties) whether it is a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; and

(ii) as soon as practicable upon becoming aware of the same, that it has become a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender,

and an indication in a Transfer Certificate, in an Assignment Agreement or in an Increase Confirmation to that effect will constitute a notice under paragraph (d)(i) above to the Agent and, upon delivery in accordance with Clause 29.7 (Copy of Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation), to the Obligors’ Agent.

(e) Any notice received by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (d) above shall constitute notice to the Fronting Issuing Bank of that Revolving Facility Lender’s status and the Agent shall, upon receiving each such notice, promptly notify the Fronting Issuing Bank of that Revolving Facility Lender’s status as specified in that notice.

(f) If a Revolving Facility Lender who has provided cash collateral in accordance with this Clause 7.5:

(i) ceases to be a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; or

(ii) its obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit are transferred to a New Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or

(g) an Increase Lender has agreed to undertake that Revolving Facility Lender’s obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and
no amount is due and payable by that Revolving Facility Lender in respect of a Fronted Letter of Credit, that Revolving Facility Lender may, at any time it is not a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender, by notice to the Fronting Issuing Bank request that an amount equal to the amount of the cash provided by it as collateral in respect of that Fronted Letter of Credit (together with any accrued interest) standing to the credit of the relevant account held with the Fronting Issuing Bank be returned to it and the Fronting Issuing Bank shall pay that amount to the Revolving Facility Lender within five Business Days after the request from the Revolving Facility Lender (and shall cooperate with the Revolving Facility Lender in order to procure that the relevant security or collateral arrangement is released and discharged).

83

7.6 Cash cover by Borrower where Non-Acceptable L/C Lender fails to provide cash collateral

(a) If a Revolving Facility Lender which is a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender fails to provide cash collateral (or notifies the Fronting Issuing Bank that it will not provide cash collateral) in accordance with Clause 7.5 (Cash collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender) and the Fronting Issuing Bank notifies the Obligors’ Agent (with a copy to the Agent) that it requires the relevant Borrower to provide cash cover to an account with the Fronting Issuing Bank in an amount equal to that Lender’s L/C Proportion of the outstanding amount of that Fronted Letter of Credit and in the currency of that Fronted Letter of Credit then the relevant Borrower shall do so within the Maximum Period after the notice is given.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (i) of Clause 1.2 (Construction), the Fronting Issuing Bank may agree to the withdrawal of amounts up to the level of that cash cover from the account if:

(i) it is satisfied that the relevant Lender is no longer a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; or

(ii) the relevant Revolving Facility Lender’s obligations in respect of the relevant Fronted Letter of Credit are transferred to a New Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or

(iii) an Increase Lender has agreed to undertake the relevant Revolving Facility Lender’s obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) To the extent that the relevant Borrower has provided cash cover in accordance with this Clause 7.6, the relevant Revolving Facility Lender’s L/C Proportion in respect of that Fronted Letter of Credit will remain (but that Revolving Facility Lender’s obligations in relation to that Fronted Letter of Credit may be satisfied in accordance with paragraph (i) of Clause 1.2 (Construction). However, the relevant Borrower’s obligation to pay any Letter of Credit Fee in relation to the relevant Letter of Credit to the Agent (for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender) in accordance with paragraph (b) of Clause 7.2 (Fees payable in respect of Letters of Credit) will be reduced proportionately as from the date on which it provides cashcover (and for so long as any relevant amount of cash cover continues to stand as collateral).

In this event, any Lender that gives notice pursuant to this Clause 8.2 will be required to participate in the Loan in the Base Currency (in an amount equal to that Lender’s proportion of the Base Currency Amount or, in respect of a Rollover Loan, an amount equal to that Lender’s proportion of the Base Currency Amount of the Rollover Loan that is due to be made) and its participation will be treated as a separate Loan denominated in the Base Currency during that Interest Period.

8.3 Participation in a Loan

Each Lender’s participation in a Loan will be determined in accordance with paragraph (b) of Clause 5.5 (Lenders’ participation).

8.4 Revaluation of Utilisations

(b) If the Agent notifies the Obligors’ Agent at any time that following any recalculation of the Base Currency Amount of any Utilisations denominated in an Optional Currency the aggregate Base Currency Amount of all Utilisations under the Facilities would exceed the Facility Limit (the amount of any such excess above the Facility Limit being an “Excess Amount”), the Fund shall ensure that an amount not less than the Excess Amount is repaidor prepaid within the Maximum Period.

88

(ii) “Total Revolving Outstandings” means the aggregate of all Revolving Outstandings.

(b) If the Agent exercises any of its rights under Clause 27.22 (Acceleration) (other than declaring Utilisations to be due on demand), each Lender and each Ancillary Lender shall (subject to paragraph (g) below) promptly adjust (by making or receiving (as the case may be) corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Finance Documents relating to Revolving Outstandings) their claims in respect of amounts outstanding to them under the Revolving Facility and each Ancillary Facility to the extent necessary to ensure that after such transfers the Revolving Outstandings of each Lender bear the same proportion to the Total Revolving Outstandings as such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment bears to the Total Revolving Facility Commitments, each as at the date the Agent exercises the relevant right(s) under 27.22 (Acceleration).

(c) If an amount outstanding under an Ancillary Facility is a contingent liability and that contingent liability becomes an actual liability or is reduced to zero after the original adjustment is made under paragraph (b) above, then each Lender and Ancillary Lender will make a further adjustment (by making or receiving (as the case may be) corresponding transfers of rights and obligations under the Finance Documents relating to Revolving Outstandings to the extent necessary) to put themselves in the position they would have been in had the original adjustment been determined by reference to the actual liability or, as the case may be, zero liability and not the contingent liability.

(d) Any transfer of rights and obligations relating to Revolving Outstandings made pursuant to this Clause 9.6 shall be made for a purchase price in cash, payable at the time of transfer, in an amount equal to those Revolving Outstandings (less any accrued interest, fees and commission to which the transferor will remain entitled to receive notwithstanding that transfer, pursuant to Clause 29.10 (Pro rata interest settlement)).

(e) Prior to the application of the provisions of paragraph (b) above, an Ancillary Lender that has provided a Multi-account Overdraft shall set-off any Available Credit Balance on any account comprised in that Multi-account Overdraft.

9.7 Information

Each Borrower and each Ancillary Lender shall, promptly upon request by the Agent, supply the Agent with any information relating to the operation of an Ancillary Facility (including the Ancillary Outstandings) as the Agent may reasonably request from time to time.

9.10 Revolving Facility Commitment amounts

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, each Revolving Facility Lender shall ensure that at all times its Revolving Facility Commitment is not less than:

(a) its Ancillary Commitment; and

(b) the Ancillary Commitment of its Affiliate.

9.11 Amendments and waivers – Ancillary Facilities

90

No amendment or waiver of a term of any Ancillary Facility shall require the consent of any Finance Party other than the relevant Ancillary Lender unless such amendment or waiver itself relates to or gives rise to a matter which would require an amendment of or under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under this Clause 9).

SECTION 5

COSTS OF UTILISATION

13 INTEREST

13.1 Calculation of interest

The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

(a) Margin; and

(b) LIBOR or, in relation to any Loan in euro, EURIBOR or, in relation to any Loan in a Non-LIBOR Currency, the Benchmark Rate for that currency.

13.2 Payment of interest

(a) Each Borrower shall pay accrued interest in respect of each Cash Pay Loan in cash on each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Cash Pay Loan.

(b) Each Revolving Facility Loan shall be a Cash Pay Loan.

(c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, a Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf) may, on not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Agent before the Interest Payment Date for any Capitalising Loan, pay accrued interest (“Accrued Interest”) in respect of that Capitalising Loan in cash on that Interest Payment Date.

(d) To the extent that no notice referred to in paragraph (c) above is delivered by the relevant Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf) in respect of a Capitalising Loan, the Accrued Interest due from that Borrower shall be paid in accordance with Clause 13.3 (Capitalisation of Interest and Fees).

(e) If either:

(i) the Agent receives any relevant information which contradicts the confirmations given by or on behalf of the Fund in a Compliance Certificate with respect to the ESG Conditions (including such information as may be contained in the ESG Annual Report and/or any subsequent Compliance Certificate); or

(ii) no ESG Annual Report is delivered to the Agent by the Obligors’ Agent and, to the extent not already evidenced via Supporting Evidence previously delivered by the Obligors’ Agent to the Agent, the Obligors’ Agent has not provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to all Lenders of the achievement of the relevant ESG Conditions,

and, therefore, a higher Margin should have applied during a certain period, then the Fund shall (or shall ensure that the relevant Borrower shall) within the Maximum Period of demand pay to the Agent any amounts necessary to put the Agent and the Lenders in the position they would have been in had the appropriate rate of Margin applied during such period.

13.3 Capitalisation of Interest and Fees

(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

118

(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 17.7 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 Act 1994).

(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.

17.8 Survival of obligations

(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 (a)(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) Each Finance Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Clause 17.9 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Parties to which such form or certification was previously delivered in writing of its legal inability to do so.

131

(a) a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and

(b) that Finance Party has obtained and utilised 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.

20.6 Lender Status Confirmation

(a) Each Lender which is not the Original Lender shall indicate, in the documentation which it executes on becoming a Party as a Lender, and for the benefit of the Agent and without liability to any Obligor, which of the following categories it falls in:

(i) in respect of a Borrower established in the United Kingdom:

(A) not a UK Qualifying Lender;

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

(C) a UK Treaty Lender.

(ii) in respect of a Borrower established in Luxembourg:

(A) not a Luxembourg Qualifying Lender; or

(B) a Luxembourg Qualifying Lender.

If such a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 17.5 then that 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 Obligors’ Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Lender executes on becoming a Party as a Lender shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause 17.5.

132

(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 17.7 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 Act 1994).

(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.

20.9 Survival of obligations

133

(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 (a)(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) Each Finance Party agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Clause 17.9 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Parties to which such form or certification was previously delivered in writing of its legal inability to do so.

20.11 FATCA Deduction

134

(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.

GUARANTEE

22 GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:

(a) guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Obligor (and, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, each Hedging Subsidiary) of all that Obligor’s (and, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, each Hedging Subsidiary’s) obligations under the Finance Documents;

(b) undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Obligor (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary) does not pay any amount when 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

(c) 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 (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary) does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with 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 22 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

22.2 Continuing guarantee

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

22.3 Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary) 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 22 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

22.4 Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 22 will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 22, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 22 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:

137

(a) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary) or other person;

(b) the release of any other Obligor (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary) or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Obligor (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary);

(c) 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, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary) 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 incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary) or any other person;

(e) any amendment, novation, supplement, extension (whether of maturity or otherwise) or restatement (in each case however fundamental and of whatsoever nature, and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security, including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;

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

(g) any insolvency or similar proceedings;

(h) any right that any Guarantor may have under any applicable existing or future laws to require that recourse be had to the assets of another before any claim is enforced against that Guarantor in respect of the obligations assumed by that Guarantor under or in connection with the Finance Documents; or

(i) any right which at any time any Guarantor may have under any applicable existing or future laws to require that any liability under or in connection with the Finance Documents be divided or apportioned with any other person or reduced in any manner whatsoever.

22.5 Luxembourg waivers

Each Guarantor incorporated in Luxembourg irrevocably waives and abandons any and all rights under the laws of Luxembourg:

(a) whether by virtue of the droit de division or otherwise, to require that any liability under the Finance Documents be divided or apportioned with any other person or reduced in any manner whatsoever; and

(b) whether by virtue of the droit de discussion or otherwise, to require that recourse be had to the assets of any other person before any claim is enforced against an Obligor under the Finance Documents.

138

22.6 Guarantor intent

(a) Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 22.4 (Waiver of defences), each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental and of whatsoever nature and whether or not more onerous) 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: 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; the designation of a Hedging Agreement as a “Secured Hedging Agreement”; a Hedging Subsidiary ceasing to be a Subsidiary of the Fund; the admission of further Limited Partners; the designation of Limited Partners as Qualifying Limited Partners; 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.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, any Guarantor incorporated in Luxembourg acknowledges that the guarantee provided by it under this Clause 22 must be construed as a first demand guarantee (garantie à première demande) and not as a suretyship (cautionnement) and, therefore, the benefits of discussion (discussion) and division (division) shall not be applicable.

22.7 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 22. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

22.8 Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, the Hedging Subsidiaries) 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:

(a) 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 22.

22.9 Deferral of Guarantors’ rights

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, the Hedging Subsidiaries) under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Agent 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 22:

139

(a) to be indemnified by an Obligor (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, a Hedging Subsidiary);

(b) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor’s (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary’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 (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary) to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 22 (Guarantee and Indemnity);

(e) to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary); and/or

(f) to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, any Hedging Subsidiary) in competition with any Finance Party.

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 (or, in respect of a Secured Hedging Agreement, the Hedging Subsidiaries) under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full for and on behalf of 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 39 (Payment Mechanics).

(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.

(A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 17.2 (Tax gross-up);

(ii) if that Hedge Counterparty has not terminated or closed out any hedging transaction under any Hedging Agreement on or prior to the Enforcement Date:

(A) if the relevant Hedging Agreement is based on an ISDA Master Agreement the amount, if any, which would be payable to it under that Hedging Agreement in respect of that hedging transaction if the Enforcement Date was deemed to be an Early Termination Date (as defined in the relevant ISDA Master Agreement) for which the relevant Obligor is the Defaulting Party (as defined in the relevant ISDA Master Agreement); or

(B) if the relevant Hedging Agreement is not based on an ISDA Master Agreement, the amount, if any, which would be payable to it under that Hedging Agreement in respect of that hedging transaction if the Enforcement Date was deemed to be the date on which an event similar in meaning and effect (under that Hedging Agreement) to an Early Termination Date (as defined in any ISDA Master Agreement) occurred under that Hedging Agreement for which the relevant Obligor is in a position similar in meaning and effect (under that Hedging Agreement) to that of a Defaulting Party (under and as defined in the same ISDA Master Agreement),

that amount, in each case, to be certified by the relevant Hedge Counterparty and as calculated in accordance with the relevant Hedging Agreement.

(c) The provisions of this Clause 32.3 shall be applied at such time or times after the Enforcement Date as the Security Trustee shall consider appropriate.

(d) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (c) above, if the provisions of this Clause 32.3 have been applied before all the Liabilities have matured and/or been finally quantified, the Security Trustee may elect to re-apply those provisions on the basis of revised Exposures and the Secured Parties shall make appropriate adjustment payments amongst themselves.

(e) If, for any reason, any Liabilities remain unpaid after the Enforcement Date and the resulting losses are not borne by the Lenders and the Hedge Counterparties in the proportions which their respective Exposures at the Enforcement Date bore to the aggregate Exposures of all the Lenders and the Hedge Counterparties at the Enforcement Date, the Lenders and the Hedge Counterparties will make such payments amongst themselves as the Security Trustee shall require to put the Lenders and the Hedge Counterparties in such a position that (after taking into account such payments) those losses are borne in those proportions.

214

(f) Before each occasion on which it intends to implement the provisions of this Clause 32.3, the Security Trustee shall send notice to each Hedge Counterparty and the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) requesting that it notify it of, respectively, its Exposure and that of each Lender (if any).

(g) If a Secured Party fails to make a payment due from it under this Clause 32.3, the Security Trustee shall be entitled (but not obliged) to take action on behalf of the Secured Party(ies) to whom such payment was to be redistributed (subject to being indemnified to its satisfaction by such Secured Party(ies) in respect of costs) but shall have no liability or obligation towards such Secured Party(ies) or any other Secured Party as regards such default in payment and any loss suffered as a result of such default shall lie where it falls.

(b) The Security Trustee shall promptly forward to the Agent and to each Hedge Counterparty a copy of any document received by the Security Trustee from any Fund Party under any Finance Document.

(d) Without prejudice to Clause 36 (Notification of Prescribed Events), if the Security Trustee 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 Trustee 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).

50 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCS

To the extent that the Finance Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree asfollows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Finance Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Finance Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Finance Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) In this Clause 50:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 US Code 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 Code Fed. Regul. § 252.82(b);

(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 Code Fed. Regul. § 47.3(b); or

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 Code Fed. Regul. § 382.2(b).

259

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 Code Fed. Regul. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 Code Fed. Regul. 5390(c)(8)(D).

(c) The recipient may disclose such information to any of its officers, directors, employees, professional advisers, auditors and partners as it shall consider appropriate if any such person is informed in writing of its confidential nature, except that there shall be no such requirement to so inform if that person is subject to professional obligations to maintain the confidentiality of the information or is otherwise bound by duties of confidentiality in relation to the information.
