Section – Interest

Interest

14.1

Calculation of interest

(a)

The rate of interest applicable to each Note for any day during an Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

(i)

Margin; and

(ii)

Compounded Reference Rate for that day.

(b)

If any day during an Interest Period for a Note is not an RFR Banking Day, the rate of interest on that Note for that day will be the rate applicable to the immediately preceding RFR Banking Day.

(c)

The amount of interest payable on each Note for any day during an Interest Period is calculated as follows:

(i)

the outstanding amount of that Note; multiplied by

(ii)

the aggregate of the applicable:

(A)

Margin; and

(B)

Compounded Reference Rate for that day; multiplied by

(iii)

the Day Count Fraction

14.2

Payment of interest

(a)

The Issuer shall pay accrued interest on each Note on each Interest Payment Date.

(b)

Each Note will cease to bear interest from the due date for redemption unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused, in which case it will continue to bear interest in accordance with this Clause 14.2 (both before and after judgment) until the day on which all sums due in respect of such Note up to that day are received by or on behalf of the relevant Subscriber.

(c)

If the Compliance Certificate received by the Agent which relates to the relevant Annual Financial Statements shows that a higher Margin should have applied during a certain period, then the Issuer shall promptly pay in accordance with the terms of paragraph (d) of Clause 14.3 (Margin ratchet) to the Agent any amounts necessary to put the Subscribers in the position they would have been in had the appropriate rate of the Margin applied during such period.

14.3

Margin ratchet

(a)

The initial Margin is the percentage rate per annum specified as such in the Reference Rate Terms.

(b)

The Margin shall subsequently be determined by reference to Group Leverage for each Relevant Period as shown in the Compliance Certificate for that Relevant Period delivered to the Agent pursuant to Clause 25.4 (Provision and contents of Compliance Certificates) and in the manner set out below in this Clause 13.3.

Page | 89

(c)

Subject to paragraphs (c) to (e) below, the Margin will be the percentage rate per annum set out below opposite the applicable range for Group Leverage for the Relevant Period:

Group Leverage	Margin % p.a.
Greater than or equal to 3.0: 1	6.5%
Less than 3.0: 1 but greater than or equal to 2.5: 1	6.0%
Less than 2.5: 1 but greater than or equal to 1.5: 1	5.75%
Less than 1.5: 1	5.25%

(d)

Any change in the Margin for the Notes shall take effect on the date (the reset date) which is the first day of the next Interest Period for that Note following receipt by the Agent of the Compliance Certificate for the applicable Relevant Period pursuant to Clause 25.4 (Provision and contents of Compliance Certificate).

(e)

If, following receipt by the Agent of the Compliance Certificate related to the relevant Annual Financial Statements, that Compliance Certificate does not confirm the basis for a reduced Margin, then the provisions of paragraph (c) of Clause 14.2 (Payment of interest) shall apply and the Margin for each Note during the period when such reduced Margin was applied shall be the percentage per annum determined using the table above and the revised Group Leverage calculated using the figures in that Compliance Certificate.

(f)

While an Event of Default is continuing, the Margin will be the highest percentage per annum set out above.

14.4

Default interest

(a)

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 is three per cent per annum higher than the rate which would have been payable and as if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Note in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 14.4 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

(b)

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.

Page | 90

The Agent shall promptly upon an Interest Payment being determinable, notify:

(i)

the Issuer of that Interest Payment;

(ii)

each relevant Subscriber of the proportion of that Interest Payment which relates to that Subscriber's holding in the relevant Notes; and

(iii)

the relevant Subscribers and the Issuer of:

(A)

each applicable rate of interest relating to the determination of that Interest Payment; and

(B)

to the extent it is then determinable, the Market Disruption Rate (if any) relating to the relevant Note.

Interest Periods

15.1

Duration of Interest Periods

(a)

Each Interest Period for a Note will start:

(i)

on its Issue Date; or

(ii)

if that Note is already issued, on the last day of its preceding Interest Period,

and will end on the immediately following Interest Payment Date.

(b)

An Interest Period for a Note may not extend beyond the Termination Date.

15.2

Non-Business Days

Any rules specified as "Business Day Conventions" in the Reference Rate Terms shall apply to each Interest Payment Date as if that Interest Payment Date were the last day of a period of three Months.

Changes to the calculation of interest

16.1

Interest calculation if no RFR or Central Bank Rate

If:

(a)

there is no applicable RFR or Central Bank Rate for the purposes of calculating the Daily Non-Cumulative Compounded RFR Rate for an RFR Banking Day during an Interest Period for a Note; and

Page | 91

(b)

Cost of funds will apply as a fallback is specified in the Reference Rate Terms,

Clause 16.3 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Note for that Interest Period.

16.2

Market disruption

If:

(a)

a Market Disruption Rate is specified in the Reference Rate Terms; and

(b)

before the Reporting Time, the Agent receives notifications from a Subscriber or Subscribers (holding Notes exceeding 35 per cent. of the principal amount of all Notes in issue) that its cost of funds relating to the Notes held by it would be in excess of that Market Disruption Rate,

then Clause 16.3 (Cost of funds) shall apply to the Notes held by such Subscriber for the relevant Interest Period.

16.3

Cost of funds

(a)

If this Clause 16.3 applies to Notes for an Interest Period, Clause 14.1 (Calculation of interest) shall not apply to the Notes for that Interest Period and the rate of interest on each Subscriber's Notes for the relevant Interest Period 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 Subscriber as soon as practicable and in any event by the Reporting Time, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum its cost of funds relating to the Notes held by it and, if any such rate is below 1.5%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.5%.

(b)

If this Clause 16.3 applies and the Agent or the Issuer so requires, the Agent and the Issuer shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

(c)

Subject to Clause 42.5 (Changes to reference rates), any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Subscribers and the Issuer, be binding on all Parties.

(d)

If this Clause 16.3 applies pursuant to Clause 16.2 (Market disruption) and:

(i)

a Subscriber's Funding Rate is less than the Market Disruption Rate; or

(ii)

a Subscriber does not notify a rate to the Agent by the Reporting Time,

that Subscriber's cost of funds relating to the Notes held by it for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph (a)(ii) above, to be the Market Disruption Rate.

(e)

If this Clause 16.3 applies the Agent shall, as soon as is practicable, notify the Issuer

Similarly, a Subscriber shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Subscriber. If the Agent receives such notification from a Subscriber it shall notify the Issuer and that Obligor.

(c)

If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

VAT

(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 18.6 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.

(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.

18.8

FATCA Deduction

(a)

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

(a)

assign any of its rights; or

(b)

transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,

under any Finance Document to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the New Subscriber).

29.2

Transfer of Notes

(a)

Subject to Clauses 8.4 (Closed periods), 8.5 (Regulations concerning transfers and registration), 29.3 (Issuer consent) and 29.4 (Other conditions of assignment or transfer), a Note may be transferred by an Existing Subscriber to a New Subscriber upon surrender of the relevant original Note Certificate, together with an Assignment Agreement duly completed and duly executed by the Existing Subscriber and the New Subscriber, at the registered office of the Issuer, together with such evidence as the Issuer may reasonably require to prove the title of the Existing Subscriber and the authority of the individuals who have executed the Assignment Agreement.

(b)

A Note may not be transferred unless the principal amount of Notes transferred and (where not all of the Notes held by a Subscriber are being transferred) the principal amount of the balance of Notes not transferred are Authorised Denominations.

(c)

Where not all the Notes represented by the surrendered Note Certificate are the subject of the transfer, a new Note Certificate in respect of the balance of the Notes will be issued to the Existing Subscriber.

29.3

Issuer consent

(a)

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

to another Subscriber or its Affiliate;

(ii)

to a fund which is a Related Fund of that Existing Subscriber; or

(iii)

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

(b)

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

Page | 168

(c)

Paragraph (b) above does not apply to an assignment or transfer to a Competitor or Distressed Fund.

29.4

Other conditions of assignment or transfer

(a)

Save for an assignment or transfer made at any time when an Event of Default is continuing, an assignment or transfer of the Commitment of a Subscriber and of Notes by a Subscriber must be in an amount such that the aggregate amount of Notes held by that Subscriber and the Commitments of that Subscriber (when aggregated with that of its Affiliates' and Related Funds') is together in a minimum amount of £5,000,000.

(b)

A transfer of Notes and Commitment by way of assignment will only be effective on:

(i)

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

(ii)

the New Subscriber entering into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Intercreditor Agreement; and

(iii)

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

(c)

A transfer of Notes will be effective only if the New Subscriber enters into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Intercreditor Agreement, and the procedure set out in Clause 29.7 (Procedure for assignment) is complied with.

(d)

If:

(i)

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

(ii)

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Subscriber or Subscriber acting through its new Specified Office under Clause 18 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) or Clause 19 (Increased Costs),

then the New Subscriber or Subscriber acting through its new Specified Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Subscriber or Subscriber acting through its previous Specified Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

(e)

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

the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b)

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

(i)

has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Subscriber or any other Finance Party in connection with any Transaction Document or the Transaction Security; and

(ii)

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

Page | 170

(c)

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

(b)

The Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Subscriber and the New Subscriber once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New Subscriber.

(c)

Subject to Clause 29.10 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

(i)

the Existing Subscriber will assign absolutely to the New Subscriber the Notes held by it that are being transferred together with all the rights under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security relating to such Notes expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;

(ii)

the Existing Subscriber will be released by each Obligor and the other Finance Parties from the obligations owed by it which relate to the Notes and the other obligations under the Finance Documents which are being transferred (the Relevant Obligations) and expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement (and any corresponding obligations by which it is bound in respect of the Transaction Security); and

(iii)

the New Subscriber shall become a Party as a "Subscriber" (if it will be holding any Notes) and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

(d)

Subscribers may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 29.7 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Subscribers nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Subscriber) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 29.3 (Issuer Consent) and Clause 29.4 (Other conditions of assignment or transfer).

Page | 171

Copy of Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation to Issuer

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

(a)

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

(b)

any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Subscriber as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

(i)

release a Subscriber from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Security for the Subscriber as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

(ii)

require any payments to be made by an Obligor 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 Subscriber under the Finance Documents.

29.10

Pro rata interest settlement

(a)

If the Agent has notified the Subscribers that it is able to distribute interest payments on a "pro rata basis" to Existing Subscribers and New Subscribers then (in respect of any assignment pursuant to Clause 29.7 (Procedure for assignment) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):

(i)

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 Subscriber up to but excluding the Transfer Date (Accrued Amounts) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Subscriber (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and

(ii)

the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Subscriber will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

(A)

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

Page | 172

(B)

the amount payable to the New Subscriber on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 29.10, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

(b)

In this Clause 29.10 references to Interest Period shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.

(c)

An Existing Subscriber which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 29.10 but which does not have a Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Subscriber for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Subscribers has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Subscribers under the Finance Documents.

The Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the Majority Note Subscribers (or, if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Subscriber or group of Subscribers, from that Subscriber or group of Subscribers) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion, and the Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives any such instructions or clarification that it has requested.

34.5

Reversal of redistribution

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Finance Party, then:

(a)

each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay) (the Redistributed Amount); and
