1.3 BORROWER’S MANDATORY CONVERSION OPTION.

 

(a) Right to Convert. If after the first anniversary of the issuance of the Note (subject to extension of such one-year non-conversion period, as provided at the end of Section Error! Reference source not found.) (i) the Last Reported Sale Price of the Shares of the Parent is greater than $6.00 per share for at least sixty (60) consecutive Trading Days, and (ii) the average daily trading volume of the Shares of the Parent during such sixty (60) day Trading Day period is greater than 5,000,000 Shares of the Parent per day in the aggregate, then the Borrower shall have the right (the “Borrower Conversion Right”) to convert the entire principal amount of the Note into that number of Shares (together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares as provided in Section 1.7) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing 100.0% of the amount of principal being converted by the Election Conversion Price, and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be payable at such time in cash or, at the election of the Borrower, in equity based on the Election Conversion Price, provided that (A) the issuance is effected within seven days from and including the last day of the period of sixty consecutive days referred to above; (B) the price of the Shares remains greater than $6.00 on the day that such issuance takes effect and the Lender or its nominee becomes the legal and beneficial owner of such Shares; and (C) before giving the Borrower Conversion Notice (defined below), the Borrower has given the Lender 10 Business Days’ prior notice of its intention to deliver a Borrower Conversion Notice and requested from the Lender details of the entity/nominee that the Lender wishes to hold such Shares and whether or not it wishes to receive cash or Shares in discharge of accrued interest up to the Conversion Issuance Date (the period of seven days which satisfies subparagraphs (A) to (C) in the proviso immediately above being the “Conversion Issuance Period” and the “Conversion Issuance Date” being a date within the Conversion Issuance Period during which such subparagraphs (A) to (C) have been satisfied). Save for any stamp, registration, issuance and similar Taxes (to which the provisions of Section 8.3(a) shall instead apply), the Parent and Borrower shall pay any and costs and expenses that may be payable with respect to the conversion (or any part thereof) of this Note or the Notes (or any of them), including upon the issuance of, and/or the delivery of any of: (i) the Shares; and (ii) any depositary receipt certificates or similar certificates or evidence of title, in each case in respect of the Shares, upon the conversion of this Note.

(b) Conversion Procedures. The Borrower will inform the Lender of such election by delivering to the Lender by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), an executed notice of such election, which notice shall include, among other things (i) the number of Shares to be issued by the Parent, (ii) request the Lender to elect to receive (and the Borrower shall pay) the accrued and unpaid interest up to and including the Conversion Issuance Date in cash or Shares as contemplated in Section 1.2, and (iii) certify that there is no Equity Conditions Failure as of the date of such notice (a “Borrower Conversion Notice”). The Lender shall review the Borrower Conversion Notice and determine the principal amounts, interest and Shares to be converted, paid and delivered respectively. If the Lender determines that any variable in the Borrower Conversion Notice is incorrect it shall notify the Borrower of the correct variable and the Borrower Conversion Notice shall be amended for that change for all purposes under the Transaction Documents. All calculations and determinations in respect of the foregoing shall be made by the Lender, whose determination shall be binding on the parties hereto and to the other Transaction Documents absent manifest error and so long as the Lender’s calculations are consistent with the provisions of this Note. If the Borrower confirmed that there was no Equity Conditions Failure as of the date of the Borrower Conversion Notice, but an Equity Conditions Failure occurs between the date of the Borrower Conversion Notice and any time until the Borrower Conversion Date (the “Borrower Conversion Interim Period”), the Borrower shall provide the Lender a subsequent written notice to that effect. If the Equity Conditions are not satisfied (or waived in writing by the Lender) during the Borrower Conversion Interim Period, then the Borrower Conversion Notice shall be null and void and the Lender shall be entitled to all the rights of this Note. Provided that the conditions in the proviso of Section 1.3(a) and the Equity Conditions have been met and the other conditions in this Note have been met, the conversion shall be effected within the Conversion Issuance Period (the “Borrower Conversion Date”). The Lender shall promptly return this Note to a reputable common carrier for delivery to Borrower after that date (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Note in the case of its loss, theft, destruction or mutilation as set forth in Section 8.13).

 

(c) Effect of Conversion. On or before the first Trading Day following the date of the Borrower Conversion Notice, the Borrower shall transmit by electronic mail certain representations as to whether the Shares may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective and available registration statement, to the Lender and the Parent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Parent to process the Borrower Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms therein, as may be amended pursuant to Section 1.3(b) (subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in writing by the Lender) of the conditions in the provision of Section 1.3(a) and the Equity Conditions and the other conditions set forth in this Note during the Borrower Conversion Interim Period). On the Borrower Conversion Date (a “Borrower Conversion Share Delivery Date” and, together with a Lender Conversion Share Delivery Date (as defined below), a “Share Delivery Date”), the Borrower and the Parent shall (x) provided that either (A) the Shares are subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Lender or (B) if converted at a time when Rule 144 would be available for resale of the Shares by the Lender, credit such aggregate number of Shares to which the Lender is entitled pursuant to this Note and as set forth in the Borrower Conversion Notice, plus, if applicable, any Shares for the accrued and unpaid interest through the Borrower Conversion Date, to the Lender’s or its designee’s balance account with the applicable clearing system or depository, or (y) if the Shares are not subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Lender and, if converted at a time when Rule 144 would not be available for resale of the Shares by the Lender (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Lender has waived the related Equity Conditions Failure), issue and deliver to the address or account, as applicable, as specified in the register for the Parent, a depositary receipt certificate or book-entry notation, as applicable, registered in the name of the Lender or its designee, for the number of Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled pursuant to this Note and as set forth in the Borrower Conversion Notice, plus, if applicable, any Shares for the accrued and unpaid interest through the Borrower Conversion Date. From and after the Borrower Conversion Date, assuming rightful delivery of the Borrower Conversion Notice to the Lender and that the relevant Shares have become legally and beneficially owned by the Lender or its nominee and all steps necessary to effect such conversion have been completed (and all relevant documents evidencing the same have been delivered to the Lender) and all other amounts required to be paid under or in connection with the Transaction Documents by any Obligor have been repaid in full, the Note shall cease to be outstanding (as further provided herein) and interest thereon shall cease to accrue. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Note, all obligations of the Borrower in respect of the principal amount of the Note shall be discharged thereby and accordingly, thereupon, the Borrower shall have no further obligation with respect to the principal amount of this Note and the Note shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to have any effect. The Lender (or such nominee as it may specify) shall be treated as the shareholder of record of the Parent as of the Borrower Conversion Date, irrespective of the date such Shares are credited to the Lender’s account with any applicable depository and/or clearing system or the date of delivery of the certificate evidencing the Shares, as the case may be, except for any additional authorizations required to issue any Shares in lieu of interest pursuant to the Borrower’s Conversion Right. The Parent’s and Borrower’s obligations to issue and deliver the Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional.

(d) Status of Shares. The Parent represents and warrants to the Lender that it has all approvals and authorizations to allot and issue such number of Shares as is necessary for the Borrower and the Parent to comply with its obligations under the Transaction Documents (including any additional authorizations required to issue any Shares in lieu of interest pursuant to the Borrower’s Conversion Right or the Lender’s Conversion Right).

 

(e) Registration of Shareholder. The Borrower shall maintain a register for the recordation of the name and address of the Lender as the holder of this Note (and the name and address of any Person who is transferred all or any portion of this Note to the extent permitted by the terms hereof) and principal amount (and stated interest with respect thereto) held by the Lender (and any Person who is transferred all or any portion of this Note to the extent permitted by the terms hereof). The entries in such register shall be conclusive and binding for all purpose absent manifest error. The Borrower and the Parent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such register as the owner of this Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of principal and interest hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Upon any Conversion (a “Conversion” being a conversion of the Indebtedness under the Note into Shares pursuant to either a Borrower Conversion Notice or Lender Conversion Notice, each in accordance with the terms of this Note), the Parent shall procure and ensure that the Lender (or any nominee it may direct, (in its absolute discretion)) shall be registered in the share register of the Parent and/or any other applicable registration, including in a depository and/or clearing system, as the holder of the applicable Shares with no further conditions as set forth in this Section 1.3 and in the Equity Conditions.

 

(f) Additional Actions. Upon any Conversion, the Parent and the Borrower shall take all actions and submit all such documents required, desirable or advisable in order to duly transfer the Shares to the Lender (or the relevant nominee), including but not limited to, the delivery to the Lender of a duly signed share transfer deed, an updated shareholder register of the Parent and/or any other applicable registration and a share certificate evidencing the registration of the Shares under the name of the Lender or the relevant nominee or if such Shares are traded on a clearing system or in dematerialised or uncertificated form, take such action is necessary or desirable to cause such Shares to be transferred to the Lender or any nominee of the Lender that it may specify in writing under the rules of such clearing system or exchange, including giving all necessary or desirable instructions to any nominee or custodian or system-user under that exchange to ensure the transfer of the Shares to the Lender or its nominee, including for the dematerialisation or rematerialisation of any assets or investments held in a settlement or clearance system, in each case, consistent with the terms of this Section 1.3.

 

4
 

 

(g) Additional Documents. Upon any Conversion, the Parent and the Borrower shall also (and shall procure that, if applicable, any of their shareholders and relevant wholly-owned Subsidiaries will): execute, enter into and deliver any agreements, directions, powers of attorney, certificates, notices, acknowledgements, corporate resolutions and any other documents; and give any such instructions, file any documentation and/or do and perform any such acts, in each case, which may be required or desirable in connection with, the transfer, registration or ownership of the Shares to the Lender or otherwise to give full effect to this Note, in each case, on the relevant Conversion Date or any other date reasonably requested by the Lender, including as required under the rules of any applicable clearing system or depository.

 

(h) Other Instruments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note or any Transaction Document to the contrary, if the Shares have become an instrument other than the ordinary shares referred to in the Articles as of the date of this Note and/or are not listed for trading, or not able to be traded if listed for trading, on the Principal Exchange (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Lender has waived the related Equity Conditions Failure), the Lender shall, in its absolute discretion, have the option to accept such other instrument but it shall not be obliged to do so and the Note shall continue in full force and effect. The Parent and the Borrower shall do all things that the Lender may request to put the Lender in an equivalent position but for such change of instrument.

 

1.4 PAYMENT IN CASH. Except as otherwise specified herein, all cash payments hereunder shall be made by each Obligor to the Lender in United States Dollars at the Lender’s address specified above (or at such other address as the Lender may specify), in immediately available funds, on the due date thereof in full without set off or counterclaim. If any amount is scheduled to be due on a date that is not a Business Day, such amount shall instead be due on the immediately preceding Business Day.

 

1.5 PREPAYMENT

 

(a) Prepayment. The Borrower may at any time, by giving to the Lender not less than five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Lender may agree) written notice to that effect, prepay in cash the whole or any part of the outstanding principal of the Note or any accrued but unpaid interest due on the Note (but, if in part, reduces the outstanding principal by a minimum amount of $4,000,000).

 

(b) Notice of Prepayment. Any notice of prepayment given by the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date upon which such prepayment is to be made and the amount of such prepayment.

 

(c) Warrants upon Prepayment. Concurrently with any prepayment of any amount of the Note and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon which the Borrower undertakes in accordance with this Section 1.5, the Borrower shall procure that the Parent shall issue to the Lender private warrants of the Parent in the form annexed to the Warrant Agreement to subscribe for new Shares, which warrants will have a five-year term and an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “Prepayment Warrants”). The number of Prepayment Warrants to be issued by the Parent shall be calculated by reference to the aggregate dollar amount of this Note and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon which the Borrower prepays in accordance with this Section 1.5 on the basis that one Prepayment Warrant shall be issued (rounded up to the nearest whole number of Prepayment Warrants) for each $1.50 that is prepaid).

1.6 LENDER’S CONVERSION RIGHT.

 

(a) Right to Convert. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Note, the Lender shall have the right (the “Lender Conversion Right”), exercisable in its sole discretion, prior to the Maturity Date, to either:

 

(i) convert the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note (in whole or in part) into validly issued and fully paid Shares (together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing 100.0% of the amount of principal being converted by the Election Conversion Price, and the accrued and unpaid interest on this Note will be payable at such time in cash, or at the election of the Lender to be delivered in writing to the Borrower, in Shares based on the Election Conversion Price; or

 

(ii) convert the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note into 37.7% of the validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share capital of Selina RY (or, if converted in part, pro rata),

 

and, in the case of subclause (ii), the accrued and unpaid interest on the Note will be payable at such time, at the option of the Lender, to be delivered in writing to the Borrower, (A) in cash, (B) in Shares based on a $1.50 share price, or (C) in additional equity in Selina RY based on the ratio with the numerator being the amount of accrued interest at the time and the denominator being $29,500,000 million (as the implied valuation of Selina RY), provided that the option to be paid in Shares pursuant to sub-clause (B) shall be subject to the Parent obtaining shareholder approval of the issuance of the number of Shares necessary at the time to satisfy this obligation, and the Parent shall use its best efforts to obtain such shareholder approval as soon as practicable in connection with such Conversion. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Note, all obligations of the Borrower in respect of the principal amount of the Note shall be discharged upon conversion and accordingly, thereupon, the Borrower shall have no further obligation with respect to the principal amount of this Note and the Note shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to have any effect. Additionally, in the case of subclause (ii), Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lender, a certificate in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulations sections 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-2(c) certifying that Selina RY is not, and has not been, during the relevant period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code, a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code, together with an executed notice to the IRS described in Treasury Regulations section 1.897-2(h)(2).

 

The one-year non-conversion period in Section 1.3(a) shall be extended at the Lender’s sole discretion, by providing seven (7) days’ written notice to the Parent (the “Non-Conversion Notice”), if the Lender anticipates, acting in good faith and based on information and/or estimates provided by the Parent, that the Parent shall not have a positive Free Cash Flow by the end of such period, to such additional period up to one year as the Lender may direct, and the Borrower’s Conversion Right may not be exercised during the initial one-year non-conversion period or any extension thereof pursuant to this Section Error! Reference source not found., in each case subject to a new Non-Conversion Notice being provided. Save for any stamp, registration, issuance, and similar Taxes (to which the provisions of Section 8.3(a) shall instead apply), the Parent and Borrower shall pay any and all costs and expenses that may be payable with respect to the conversion (or any part thereof) of this Note or the Notes, including upon the issuance, transfer and/or the delivery of any of: (i) the Shares, and (ii) any share capital or other equity of Selina RY, and in each case any depositary receipt certificates or similar certificates or evidence of title to the Shares and/or any share capital or other equity of Selina RY (as applicable), upon the conversion of this Note.

(b) Conversion Procedures. To convert any portion of this Note into Shares on any date in accordance with this Section 1.6, the Lender shall deliver by electronic mail (or otherwise deliver) to the Borrower and the Parent on such date, a copy of an executed Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (a “Lender Conversion Notice”). If required hereunder, but without delaying the Parent’s and Borrower’s requirement to deliver the Shares on the Lender Conversion Date (as defined below), the Lender shall surrender this Note to a common carrier for delivery to the Borrower as soon as practicable on or following the applicable Lender Conversion Date on which the Lender submitted a Lender Conversion Notice to the Borrower and the Parent electing to convert all or portion of this Note as represented on such Lender Conversion Notice (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft, destruction or mutilation in compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.11). The Lender Conversion Notice shall specify (i) the principal amount of the Note being converted into Shares or share capital of Selina RY; and (ii) whether the accrued and unpaid interest on the Note will be payable in cash, in Shares or in additional equity of Selina RY, and the amount(s) so payable in cash, in Shares or in additional equity of Selina RY. No ink-original Lender Conversion Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Lender Conversion Notice be required. On or before the first Trading Day following the date of the Lender Conversion Notice, the Borrower shall transmit by electronic mail a confirmation of receipt of such Lender Conversion Notice and certain representations as to whether the Shares may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective and available registration statement, to the Lender and the Parent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Parent to process the Lender Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms therein. On or before the second Trading Day following the date on which the Lender has delivered the applicable Lender Conversion Notice (a “Lender Conversion Share Delivery Date”), the Borrower and the Parent shall (x) provided that either (A) the applicable Shares are subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Lender or (B) if converted at a time when Rule 144 would be available for resale of the Shares by the Lender, credit such aggregate number of Shares to which the Lender is entitled pursuant this Note and as set forth in the Lender Conversion Notice, plus, if applicable, any Shares for the accrued and unpaid interest through the Lender Conversion Date, to the Lender’s or its designee’s balance account with the applicable clearing system and/or depository, or (y) if the Shares are not subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Lender and, if converted at a time when Rule 144 would not be available for resale of the applicable Shares by the Lender, issue and deliver to the address or account, as applicable, as specified in the Lender Conversion Notice, a depositary receipt certificate or book-entry notation, as applicable, registered in the name of the Lender or its designee, for the number of Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled pursuant to this Note and as set forth in the Lender Conversion Notice, plus, if applicable, any Shares for the accrued and unpaid interest through the Lender Conversion Date. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion as required by this Section 1.6 and the then outstanding principal amount of this Note is greater than the principal amount of the Shares issuable upon conversion, the Parent and Borrower shall as soon as practicable after delivery of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Lender a new note representing the outstanding principal not yet converted. The date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Lender Conversion Date” and together with the Borrower Conversion Date each a “Conversion Date”) shall be the later of the date of the Borrower’s receipt of a Lender Conversion Notice and the date on which the Lender or its nominee becomes the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares (and cash or capital shares of Selina RY) and all steps necessary to effect that have been completed (and all relevant documents evidencing the same have been delivered to the Lender), unless the Borrower and the Lender agree in writing to another date. All calculations and determinations in respect of the foregoing shall be made by the Lender, whose determination shall be binding on the Parties.

 

(c) Effect of Conversion. From and after the Lender Conversion Date, assuming rightful delivery of the Lender Conversion Notice to the Borrower and the Parent and that the relevant Shares have become legally and beneficially owned by the Lender or its nominee and all steps necessary to effect such conversion have been completed (and all relevant documents evidencing the same have been delivered to the Lender) and all other amounts required to be paid by any Obligor under or in connection with the Transaction Documents have been repaid in full and that a new note has been issued to the Lender in connection with any outstanding principal amount not converted, this Note shall cease to be outstanding (as further provided herein) and interest thereon shall cease to accrue. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Note and except for any outstanding principal amount not converted, all obligations of the Borrower in respect of the principal amount of this Note shall be discharged thereby and accordingly, thereupon, the Borrower shall have no further obligation with respect to the principal amount of this Note and this Note shall thereupon be cancelled and cease to have any effect. The Lender (or such nominee as it may specify) shall be treated as a shareholder of record of the Parent as of the Lender Conversion Date, irrespective of the date such Shares are credited to the Lender’s account with the applicable clearing system and/or depository or the date of delivery of the certificate evidencing the Shares, as the case may be, except for the additional authorizations required to issue any Shares or capital shares of Selina RY in lieu of interest pursuant to the Lender’s Conversion Right. The Parent’s and Borrower’s obligations to issue and deliver the Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Subscription Agreement or the Investors’ Rights Agreement, after the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Parent and Borrower shall, upon receipt of reasonably requested documentation and letters of representation, cause unlegended and unrestricted Shares to be delivered the Lender (or its designee) in connection with any sale of Shares with respect to which the Lender has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, and for which the Lender has not yet settled.

(d) Status of Shares. Any Shares issued upon settlement of conversion shall satisfy the Equity Conditions.

3.6 No Waiver: Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Section 3 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.

Each of the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Parent agrees that the Lender is entitled to the benefits of Section 9 of the Subscription Agreement and to the benefits of the Investors’ Rights Agreement. By its acceptance thereof, the Lender will have agreed to be bound by the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Investors’ Rights Agreement.

 

6.3 DEBT SERVICE. The Parent covenants to use its best efforts to take such actions that would allow it to make payments on its Existing Debt in the amount of no more than $27,000,000 during the financial year ended December 31, 2023 and in an amount of no more than $20,000,000 during the financial year ended December 31, 2024, in each case in cash (each a “Debt Service Target”), and to that end, the Parent and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, may choose to convert any Existing Debt into equity instruments, make any payments in kind or defer interest payments on any Existing Debt, or take any other measures they deem appropriate to reduce the liabilities of the Parent and its Subsidiaries (subject to approval by the Parent’s Board of Directors, including the consent of the designated nominee of the Lender, to the extent applicable and not including any Indebtedness under the Transaction Documents or any other indebtedness due to the Lender or any Affiliate of the Lender). If the Parent does not achieve the Debt Service Target for the 2023 financial year or the 2024 financial year, then in lieu of other remedies available to Lender, the interest payable under Section 1.2 will be increased by 50 basis points for each $1,000,000 above the applicable Debt Service Target for a particular year specified above, with retroactive effect from the Closing Date until the date the interest is payable hereunder and subject to a maximum increase of 250 basis points, unless any such failure to achieve the Debt Service Target will not constitute an Event of Default under this Note.

 

6.4 PAYMENT OF ACCRUED LIABILITIES. The Parent shall not apply cash or other assets of the Group against (or pay or discharge) Accrued Liabilities, except for up to:

If the Parent does not achieve the Rent Reduction Target for one or both of the financial years, then in lieu of other remedies available to Lender, the interest payable under Section 1.2 will be increased by 50 basis points for each $1,000,000 below the target in aggregate for the Group for the relevant year specified above, with retroactive effect from the Closing Date and subject to a maximum increase of 250 basis points.

(a) Stamp Taxes: The Parent, the Borrower and each Guarantor shall pay, and shall within three Business Days of demand indemnify each Finance Party from and against, and shall hold them harmless from and against, any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp, registration, documentary, issuance and other similar, taxes or duties (“Stamp Taxes”) payable on or in respect of or in relation to this Note, the Notes f(or any of them), any Prepayment Warrants, or any Transaction Document, including (without limitation) any Stamp Taxes payable or incurred: (i) on the execution, delivery, and/or performance of this Note or any of the Notes, or on any conversion (or part thereof) of this Note or any of the Notes; (ii) pursuant to the exercise of any of the rights, liabilities or obligations under this Note or any of the Notes, including for the avoidance of doubt the issuance and delivery of any Prepayment Warrants and the issuance, transfer and/or delivery of any Shares thereunder, and the conversion of this Note or any of the Notes into Shares and/or other equity (including any equity or share capital in Selina RY (including as a result of any issuance, transfer and/or delivery, pursuant to such conversion, of: (a) any such Shares and/or equity and/or share capital in Selina RY; and (b) in each case any depositary receipt certificates or similar certificates or evidence of title to the Shares or any share capital and/or other equity in Selina RY (as applicable), or the entrance of any Shares or equity and/or share capital in Selina RY into any clearance, depositary or similar system)); and (iii) pursuant to, under or in respect of any other Transaction Document, or pursuant to the exercise of any of the rights, liabilities or obligations thereunder.

 

(b) Withholding Taxes: All amounts payable by the Parent, the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Note, the Notes (including in respect of principal, interest or any other amount payable by the Borrower under this Note or the Notes), any Prepayment Warrants, or any Transaction Document, shall be paid free and clear of any Tax Deduction, save only as required by law. If the Parent, the Borrower or any Guarantor is required by law to make any Tax Deduction on any amount payable under this Note, the Notes, any Prepayment Warrants or any Transaction Document, the amount payable by the Borrower, Parent or Guarantor (as the case may be) shall be increased to an amount which (after making all Tax Deductions required by law) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. Solely to the extent that it is eligible for full exemption from UK withholding tax on interest, and unless the Lender considers (in its absolute discretion) that it may be harmful and/or disadvantageous to its Tax affairs, the Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete, or co-operate with the Borrower (or other relevant Obligor) to complete, any necessary procedural formalities which are required in order for the Borrower (or other relevant Obligor) to obtain authorization to make payments of interest to the Lender without a Tax Deduction on account of UK tax on interest, provided always that any failure by the Borrower (or other relevant Obligor) to obtain any such authorization, for whatsoever reason, shall not affect the obligations of the Parent, the Borrower and/or any Guarantor under this Section 8.3(b).

 

36
 

 

(c) Tax Indemnity: The Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party) pay to that Finance Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which the Finance Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Finance Party in respect of this Note, any of the Notes, any Prepayment Warrants or any other Transaction Document, provided that this obligation shall not apply: (i) with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party: (a) 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, in each case if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or (ii) to the extent a loss, liability or cost: (A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 8.3(b); or (B) relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party. A Party making, or intending to make, a claim under this Section 8.3(c) shall promptly notify the Company of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

 

(d) VAT: (i) All amounts expressed to be payable under this Note, the Notes, any Prepayment Warrants, or under any Transaction Document, in each case 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 (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by the Finance Party to any Party under this Note, the Notes, any Prepayment Warrants, or under any Transaction Document, and the Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and the Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party). (ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”) under this Note, the Notes, any Prepayment Warrants, or any Transaction Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of this Note, the Notes, any Prepayment Warrants, or any Transaction 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): (a) (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 (a) 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 (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. (iii) Where this Note, the Notes, any Prepayment Warrants, or any Transaction Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify any 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. Any reference in this Section 8.3(d) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/11/EC (or as implemented by the relevant state of the European Union or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member of the European Union) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with section 43 of the United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994)), so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time, or the relevant member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be). In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under this Note, the Notes, any Prepayment Warrants, or under any Transaction Document, if reasonably requested by the Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide the Finance Party with details of that Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Finance Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

 

37
 

 

(e) FATCA: (i) Subject to paragraph (iii) below, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party: (a) confirm to that other Party whether it is: (I) a FATCA Exempt Party; or (II) not a FATCA Exempt Party; (b) 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; and (c) 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. (ii) If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (i)(a) 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. (iii) Paragraph (i) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (i)(c) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of: (X) any law or regulation; (Y) any fiduciary duty; or (Z) any duty of confidentiality. (iv) 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 (i)(a) or (i)(b) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (iii) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of this Note, the Notes, any Prepayment Warrants and the Transaction 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.

 

(f) FATCA Deduction: (i) 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. 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.

 

8.4 NO DEFENSES. The Borrower and each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligation to repay amount when due hereunder is absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to refund, return, offset, deduction, cross-collateralization or counterclaim of any kind, and hereby waives any and all defenses to payment thereof.

8.6 SEVERABILITY; AUTHORIZATION TO COMPLETE; PARAGRAPH HEADINGS. If any provision of this Note or any Transaction Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provisions shall be severable from the remainder of such Transaction Document and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Paragraph headings are for the convenience of reference only and are not a part of this Note and shall not affect its interpretation.
