Application of Mandatory Prepayments

All prepayments made pursuant to this Clause 8 shall be paid to the Agent and applied in accordance with clause 7.3 (Application of Prepayments) of the Proceeds Deed.

Interest
9.1
Calculation of interest

 

The rate of interest in respect of the Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is calculated by the Agent to be equal to the aggregate of:

(a)
a fixed rate based on the Screen Rate interpolated for the average life of the Loan determined by the Agent two (2) Business Days prior to the Utilisation Date, provided that if the calculated rate is less than zero, the rate will be zero (the Base Rate); and
(b)
the Margin,

(the Fixed Interest Rate).

9.2
Basis of Calculation

The number of days in each Interest Period shall be calculated by including the date on which such Interest Period commences but excluding the date on which it expires.

9.3
Payment of Interest

On each Payment Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent accrued interest on the Loan at the Fixed Interest Rate in respect of any Interest Period expiring on that day.

9.4
Default interest
9.4.1
If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to Clause 9.4.2 below, is three per cent. (3%) per annum higher than the Fixed Interest Rate (the Default Rate) which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods. Any interest accruing under this Clause 9.4 shall be immediately payable by such Obligor on demand by the Agent.
9.4.2
If any overdue amount consists of all or part of the Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period:
(a)
the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period; and
(b)
the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be the Default Rate.
9.4.3
Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.
9.5
Notification of rates of interest

The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrowers of the Base Rate following the determination of the rate of interest under this Agreement in accordance with Clause 9.1(a).

10
Interest Periods
10.1
Interest Periods
10.1.1
Save as otherwise specified in this Clause 10 or Clause 9.4 (Default interest), each Interest Period shall have a duration of one (1) Month and shall start on the last day of its preceding Interest Period.
10.1.2
The first Interest Period in respect of the Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date for the Loan and shall end on the first Payment Date to occur following the Utilisation Date.

 

10.1.3
The final Interest Period shall end on the Final Repayment Date.
10.2
Non-Business Days

If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar Month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

10.3
Day Count Convention

Any interest, commission or fee accruing under a Finance Document will accrue from day to day and is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days.

11
Changes to the calculation of interest
11.1.1
Unavailability of Screen Rate: If at any relevant time no Screen Rate is available to allow determination of the Fixed Interest Rate, Clause 11.1.3 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Loan.
11.1.2
Market disruption: If before close of business in New York on the day when the Fixed Interest Rate is to be determined, the Agent receives notifications from the Majority Lenders that the cost to them of funding their participations in the applicable Loan from whatever source they may reasonably select would be in excess of the Base Rate (a Market Disruption Event), then Clause 11.1.3 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Loan for the relevant Interest Period.
11.1.3
Cost of funds:
(a)
If this Clause 11.1.3 applies, the Fixed Interest Rate on each Lender's share of the relevant Loan shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:
(i)
the Margin; and
(ii)
the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable prior to the Utilisation Date, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Lender of

funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select (the “Lenders’ Funding Rate”).

(b)
If this Clause 11.1.3 applies and the Agent or the Borrowers so require, the Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.
(c)
Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to Clause 11.1.3(b) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrowers, be binding on all Parties.
(d)
If this Clause 11.1.3 applies pursuant to Clause 11.1.2 (Market disruption) and a Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in Clause 11.1.2(a)(ii) above, the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Loan shall be deemed, for the purposes of Clause 11.1.3(a) above, to be the Fixed Interest Rate.
(e)
If this Clause 11.1.3 applies pursuant to Clause 11.1.1 (Unavailability of Screen Rate) but any Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in Clause 11.1.3 above, the rate of interest shall be calculated on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Lenders.
11.1.4
Notification to Borrowers: If Clause 11.1.3 (Cost of funds) applies, the

 

Agent shall, as soon as is practicable, notify the Borrowers.
11.2

11.2.1
The Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Funding Costs attributable to all or any part of the Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrowers on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for the Loan or Unpaid Sum.
11.2.2
Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Funding Costs for any Interest Period in which they are, or may become payable.
12
Fees

Fees

The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent and/or the Security Agent the fees in the amount and manner set out in any Fees Letter (Fees).

13
Promissory note

Upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Agent) a promissory note (a Promissory Note), which shall evidence such Lender's participation in the Loan. Each such Promissory Note shall be substantially in the form of Schedule 7 (Form of Promissory Note).

that Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Borrowers 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 Borrowers.

14.4.2
If any Finance Party makes any payment pursuant to clause 14.4.1 (Tax Credit) and such credit, relief, remission or repayment in respect of which such payment was made is subsequently withdrawn, or that it was unable to use such credit, relief, remission or repayment in full, the Borrowers shall reimburse any such amount received from such Finance Party which will place it in the same after-tax position as it would have been in if such credit, relief, remission or repayment had been obtained and fully used and retained by such Finance Party.
14.5
Indemnities on after Tax basis
14.5.1
If and to the extent that any sum payable to any Protected Party by the Borrowers under any Transaction Document by way of indemnity or reimbursement proves to be insufficient, by reason of any Tax suffered thereon, for that Protected Party to discharge the corresponding liability to a third party, or to reimburse that Protected Party for the cost incurred by it in discharging the corresponding liability to a third party, the Borrowers shall pay that Protected Party such additional sum as (after taking into account any Tax suffered by that Protected Party on such additional sum) shall be required to make up the relevant deficit.
14.5.2
If and to the extent that any sum (the Indemnity Sum) constituting (directly or indirectly) an indemnity to any Protected Party but paid by the Borrowers to any person other than that Protected Party, shall be treated as taxable in the hands of the Protected Party, the Borrowers shall pay to that Protected Party such sum (the Compensating Sum) as (after taking into account any Tax suffered by that Protected Party on the compensating sum) shall reimburse that Protected Party for any Tax suffered by it in respect of the indemnity sum.

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

14.7.2
If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier) to any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):
(a)
(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and
(b)
(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.
14.7.3
Where a Transaction Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
14.7.4
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 mean the group member notified by the Revenue Commissioners in accordance with section 15(1)(a) of the Value-Added Tax Consolidation Act 2010 as being the member responsible for complying with the provisions of that Act in respect of the group).
14.7.5
In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Transaction 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.

14.8.3
Clause 14.8.1 above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and Clause 14.8.1(c) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:
(a)
any law or regulation;
(b)
any fiduciary duty; or
(c)
any duty of confidentiality,

or would or might otherwise, in the reasonable opinion of such Finance Party, materially prejudice its commercial or legal affairs.

14.8.4
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 Clause 14.8.1(a) or 14.8.1(b) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where Clause 14.8.3 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.

The Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Borrowers.
14.8.8
The Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to clause 14.8.5 or clause 14.8.7 above without further verification. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with clauses 14.8.5, 14.8.6 or 14.8.7 above.
14.9
FATCA Deduction
14.9.1
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.

Changes to the Lenders
25.1
Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

Subject to this Clause 25 and clause 28.3.1 (Finance Party Transfer) of the Proceeds Deed, a Lender (the Existing Lender) may:

(a)
assign any of its rights; or
(b)
transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,

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 and which is a Qualifying Lender or a Treaty Lender (the New Lender).

25.2
Conditions of assignment or transfer
25.2.1
The consent of the Borrowers is not required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender.
25.2.2
An assignment will only be effective on:
(a)
receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the Existing Lender and the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the Existing Lender has assigned some or all of its rights under and with respect to the Finance Documents and the Transaction Security to the New Lender and that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it had been an Original Lender; and
(b)
performance by the Agent of all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all Applicable Laws 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.
25.2.3
A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 25.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.
25.2.4
If:
(a)
a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

 

(b)
as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrowers 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 the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under that clause 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.

25.2.5
Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate, 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 the Finance Documents on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with the Finance Documents 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

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 $10,000.

25.4

Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:
(a)
the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Transaction Documents, the Transaction Security or any other documents;
(b)
the financial condition of any Obligor;
(c)
the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or any other documents; or
(d)
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 Applicable Law are excluded.

25.4.2
Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:
(a)
has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Transaction Document or the Transaction Security; and
(b)
will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.
25.4.3
Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:
(a)
accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 25; or

 

(b)
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
25.5.1
Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 25.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with Clause 25.2.4 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) 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 25.5.2 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.
25.5.2
The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all Applicable Laws to the transfer to such New Lender.
25.5.3
Each of the other Finance Parties and the Borrowers hereby appoint the Agent as its agent to execute on its behalf any Transfer Certificate delivered to the Agent in accordance with Clause 25.5.1.
25.5.4
Subject to Clause 25.8 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:
(a)
to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security each of the

Borrowers 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");

(b)
each of the Borrowers and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as the Borrowers and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Borrowers and the Existing Lender;
(c)
the Lenders' Representatives, the New Lender and the other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves 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 Lenders' Representatives and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and
(d)
the New Lender shall become a Party as a Lender.
25.6
Copy of Transfer Certificate to Borrowers

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, send to the Borrowers a copy of that Transfer Certificate.

25.7
Security 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 the Borrowers, 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 the Borrowers other than or in excess of, 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.
25.8
Pro rata interest settlement
25.8.1
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 assignment or transfer pursuant to Clause 25 the Transfer Date of which 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 excluding the Transfer Date (Accrued Amounts) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period; 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 to 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 25.8, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.
25.8.2
In this Clause 25.8 references to Interest Period shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.
26

the Electronic Commerce Act 2000 and /or the EU Electronic Identification and Trust Services for Electronic Transaction in the Internal market Regulation 2014, and this has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of such Finance Document.
28.2
For the avoidance of doubt, each Party hereby consents to the execution of any Finance Document by the other Party(ies) by way of electronic signature and agrees that the electronic signature of such other Party(ies) is the legal equivalent of their manual signature on such document and is conclusive of such party’s intention to be bound by such Finance Document.
28.3
Each Party further agrees it will not seek to avoid its responsibilities to the other parties under any Finance Document based on the fact that it or any

other party signed that document using an e-signature as opposed to a manuscript signature.
