(2%) higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Utilisation of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.5 (Default Interest) shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Facility Agent.

(b) The CESCE Premium is estimated, for information purposes only, as the amount which is equal to three point six seven six five per cent. (3.6765%) of the total Facility amount, corresponding to the aggregate of the Base Facility Amount and the CESCE Premium itself (the “Estimated CESCE Premium”).

50

(c) The Obligors acknowledge that the amount of the CESCE Premium may be increased or decreased by CESCE (including as described in paragraph (e) below) so that such amount is greater or less than the Estimated CESCE Premium. The ECA Coordinator will only be notified of the actual amount of the CESCE Premium on the date of final issuance of the CESCE Policy and will promptly notify the Facility Agent thereof. Following receipt of the CESCE Policy, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the actual amount of the CESCE Premium.

(f) In the event that after the first Utilisation Date it is determined that the amount of the CESCE Premium is less than the amount stated in the CESCE Policy, the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower and shall request a reimbursement of the excess from CESCE.

51

(b) The Obligors acknowledge that, subject to Clause 11.1(d) and (e), no Finance Party is in any way involved in or responsible for the calculation or payment of any part of the CESCE Premium.

In this Agreement:

“Excluded Taxes” means, in the case of each Finance Party (i) Taxes imposed on, based on or measured by such Finance Party’s net income, profits, gains (but not any withholding Taxes on such amounts imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents) and branch or franchise profits and (ii) Taxes imposed on such Finance Party solely as a result of a present or former connection between the taxing jurisdiction and such Finance Party or any owner or affiliate thereof other than a connection resulting solely from the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents.

“Indemnified Taxes” means Taxes suffered for or on account of Taxes in respect to a Finance Document, other than Excluded Taxes.

“Tax Credit” means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax.

“Tax Deduction” means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document.

52

“Tax Payment” means either the increase in a payment made by an Obligor to a Finance Party under Clause 12.2 (Tax Gross-up) or a payment under Clause 12.3 (Tax Indemnity).

Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Clause 12 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) a reference to “determines” or “determined” means a determination made in the reasonable discretion of the person making the determination.

12.2 Tax Gross-up

(a) Each Obligor shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

(b) Each Obligor shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower.

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

(d) If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(e) Within thirty (30) days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

12.3 Tax Indemnity

(a) If a Finance Party pays or is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes (other than Taxes described in Clause 12.5 (Stamp Taxes) or Clause 12.6 (Value Added Tax) in respect of which the terms of the relevant Clause shall apply), the Borrower shall (within ten (10) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) pay and indemnify the relevant Finance Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Finance Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of such Indemnified Tax.

53

(b) A Finance Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower.

If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:

(a) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

(b) that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and reclaimed that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party shall, no later than the end of the third year after the year in which the relevant Tax Credit is obtained, utilised and reclaimed, pay an amount to such Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by such Obligor net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Finance Party. Subject to Clause 30 (Conduct of Business by the Finance Parties), a Finance Party shall provide, at the sole cost and expense of the relevant Obligor, such assistance as such Obligor may reasonably request in order to obtain such Tax Credit.

12.6 Value Added Tax

(a) All amounts set out or expressed in a Finance Document to be payable by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT.

(b) 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.

54

27.1 Assignments and Transfers by the Lenders

Subject to this Clause 27 (Changes to the Lenders), a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:

(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 (the “New Lender”).

27.2 Conditions of Assignment or Transfer

(a) The consent of the Guarantor is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) The consent of the Guarantor to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Guarantor will be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Guarantor within that time.

(c) The prior written consents of CESCE and ICO are required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender.

(d) Any partial assignments (other than to another Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender), must be for a minimum amount of five million Dollars (USD 5,000,000) unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Facility Agent.

94

(e) An assignment will only be effective on:

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

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

(f) A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 27.5 (Procedure for Transfer) is complied with.

(g) If:

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

(ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or a Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 12 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or Clause 13 (Increased Costs),

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

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

(ii) the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii) the performance and observance by any Obligor 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, the CESCE Policy, the CARI or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b) Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

(i) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Transaction Document, the CESCE Policy and the CARI; and

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

(c) Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i) accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 27 (Changes to the Lenders); or

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

(c) On the Transfer Date:

(i) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents, each Obligor on the one hand and the Existing Lender on the other hand shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

(ii) each Obligor on the one hand and the New Lender on the other hand 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 Obligors and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Obligors and the Existing Lender;

(iii) the Facility Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the New Lender and 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 Facility Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

(iv) the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

(iii) the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

(d) Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 27.6 (Procedure for Assignment) to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor, CESCE and ICO or unless in accordance with Clause 27.5 (Procedure for Transfer), to obtain a release by such Obligor from the obligations owed to it by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 27.2 (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer).

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

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

29.18 Credit Appraisal by the Lenders

Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Transaction Document, the CESCE Policy and the CARI, each Lender confirms to the Administrative Parties that such Lender has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Transaction Document, the CESCE Policy and the CARI, including but not limited to:

(a) the financial condition, status and nature of each Obligor;

107

(b) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Transaction Document, the CESCE Policy, the CARI and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Transaction Document, the CESCE Policy or the CARI;

(c) whether that Lender has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any other Party or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Transaction Document, the CESCE Policy, the CARI, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Transaction Document, the CESCE Policy or the CARI; and

(d) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any other information provided by the Facility Agent, the ECA Coordinator, any other Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Transaction Document, the CESCE Policy, the CARI, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Transaction Document, the CESCE Policy or the CARI.

29.19 Representations and Warranties by the Lenders

Each Lender represents and warrants to the Facility Agent and the ECA Coordinator that:

(a) it has reviewed the Oferta de Condiciones provided by CESCE upon which the CESCE Policy will be based and has reviewed a draft of the CARI and is fully aware of the provisions thereof;

(b) the representations and warranties made by the ECA Coordinator for and on behalf of each Lender under the Oferta de Condiciones (if any) and to be made by the Facility Agent under the CARI once executed are or will be (as the case may be) true and correct with respect to such Lender in all respects, and

(c) no information provided by such Lender in writing to the Facility Agent, the ECA Coordinator, CESCE or ICO prior to the date hereof was incomplete, untrue or incorrect in any respect except to the extent that such Lender, in the exercise of reasonable care and due diligence prior to the giving of the information, could not have discovered the error or omission. Each Lender represents and warrants that it has not taken (or failed to take), and agrees that it shall not take (or fail to take), any action that would result in the Facility Agent or the ECA

108

Coordinator being in breach of any of its obligations in its capacity as Facility Agent or ECA Coordinator, as applicable, under the CESCE Policy, the CARI or the Transaction Documents or result in the Lenders being in breach of any of their respective obligations under the ICO or as insured parties under the CESCE Policy or which would otherwise prejudice the ECA Coordinator’s ability to make a claim on behalf of the Lenders under the CESCE Policy.

29.20 Deduction from Amounts Payable by the Facility Agent or ECA Coordinator

If any Party owes an amount to the Facility Agent or the ECA Coordinator under the Finance Documents, the CESCE Policy or the CARI, the Facility Agent or the ECA Coordinator, as applicable, may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Facility Agent or the ECA Coordinator would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted.

29.21 Co-operation with the Administrative Parties

Each Lender and each Obligor undertakes to co-operate with the Administrative Parties to comply with any legal requirements imposed on the Administrative Parties in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the CESCE Policy and the CARI and shall supply any information reasonably requested by the Administrative Parties in connection with the proper performance of those duties.

31.1 Payments to Finance Parties

(a) the Recovering Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Facility Agent;

(b) the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 32 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(c) the Recovering Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 32.5 (Partial Payments).

31.2 Redistribution of Payments

The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Lenders (other than the Recovering Party) (the “Sharing Parties”) in accordance with Clause 32.5 (Partial Payments) towards the obligations of that Borrower to the Sharing Parties.

31.3 Recovering Finance Party’s Rights

On a distribution by the Facility Agent under Clause 31.2 (Redistribution of Payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Party from an Obligor, as between such Obligor and the Recovering Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by such Obligor.

31.4 Reversal of Redistribution

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

(a) each Sharing Party shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of that Recovering Party an amount equal

110

to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Party is required to pay) (the “Redistributed Amount”); and

(b) as between the relevant Obligor and each relevant Sharing Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by such Obligor.

31.5 Exceptions

(a) This Clause 31 (Sharing Among the Finance Parties) shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

(b) A Recovering Party is not obliged to share with any other Lenders any amount which the Recovering Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

(i) it notified that other Lender of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

(ii) that other Lender had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.
