(e) | The replacement of a Lender pursuant to paragraph (d) above shall be subject to the following conditions:

8. | INTEREST

8.1 | Calculation of interest

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

(a) | Margin; and

(b) | applicable LIBOR.

8.2 | Payment of interest

The Company shall pay accrued interest on each Loan on the last day of each Interest Period relating to that Loan (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the dates falling at six monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).

8.3 | 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 Unpaid Sum from the due date to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is, subject to paragraph (b) below, two per cent. (2%) higher than the rate which would have been payable if the Unpaid Sum had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the Unpaid Sum for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

(b) | If any Unpaid Sum consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan:

| (i) | the first Interest Period for that Unpaid Sum shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

| (ii) | the rate of interest applying to the Unpaid Sum during that first Interest Period shall be two per cent. (2%) higher than the rate which would have applied if the Unpaid Sum had not become due.

(c) | Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an Unpaid Sum will be compounded with the Unpaid Sum at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that Unpaid Sum but will remain immediately due and payable.

Page 33

The Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders and the Company of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

(c) | An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Final Repayment Date.

(d) | Each Loan has one Interest Period only which shall start on the Utilisation Date of that Loan.

9.2 | Non-Business Days

10.1 | Absence of quotations

Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by noon (local time) on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

10.2 | Market disruption

(a) | Subject to any alternative basis agreed and consented to as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b) of Clause 10.3 (Alternative basis of interest or funding), if a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s participation in that Loan for that Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

| (i) | the Margin; and

| (ii) | the percentage rate per annum notified to the Agent by that Lender, as soon as practicable and in any event not later than five Business Days before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, as the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source(s) it may reasonably select.

(b) | In relation to a Market Disruption Event under paragraph (c)(ii) below, if the percentage rate per annum notified by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (a)(ii) above shall be less than LIBOR or if a Lender shall fail to notify the Agent of any such percentage rate per annum, the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the relevant Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph (a) above, to be LIBOR.

Page 34

(c) | In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means:

| (i) | at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR for US Dollars and Interest Period; or

| (ii) | at 5.00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in the relevant Loan exceed 50 per cent. of that Loan) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the Relevant Interbank Market would be in excess of LIBOR.

(d) | If a Market Disruption Event shall occur, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Company thereof.

10.3 | Alternative basis of interest or funding

(a) | If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Company so requires, the Agent and the Company 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.

(b) | Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Company, be binding on all Parties.

(c) | For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that no substitute basis is agreed at the end of the thirty day period, the rate of interest shall continue to be determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

10.4 | Break Costs

(a) | The Company shall, within five (5) Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Company on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

(b) | Each Lender shall, together with its demand, provide a certificate confirming the amount and the basis of calculation of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

11. | FEES

11.1 | Commitment fee

(a) | The Company shall pay to the Agent (for the account of each Lender) a fee in US Dollars computed and accruing on a daily basis with effect from (but excluding) the date falling 45 days after the date of this Agreement (the “Commitment Fee Commencement Date”) at 0.25 per cent. per annum on that Lender’s Available Commitment for the Availability Period at close of business (in New York) on each day of the Availability Period falling after the Commitment Fee Commencement Date (or, if any such day shall not be a Business Day, at such close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day).

Page 35

(b) | The accrued commitment fee is payable (but without double counting):

| (i) | on the last day of each successive period of three Months which ends during the Availability Period commencing with the period of three Months starting on the Commitment Fee Commencement Date;

| (ii) | on the last day of the Availability Period; and

| (iii) | if a Lender’s Commitment is reduced to zero before the last day of the Availability Period, on the day on which such reduction to zero becomes effective.

11.2 | Upfront fee

(a) | The Company shall pay to each Mandated Lead Arranger an upfront fee in the amount and at the times agreed in a Fee Letter.

(b) | The Company shall pay to each Accordion Lender an upfront fee in the amount and at the times agreed in a Fee Letter.

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

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

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in no better and no worse position in respect of its worldwide tax liabilities than it would have been in had the Obligor not been required to make the Tax Payment.

12.5 | Stamp taxes

The Company shall:

(a) | pay all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document, and

(b) | within five (5) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to any stamp duty, registration or other similar Tax paid or payable in respect of any Finance Document.

(b) | Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all Indirect Tax incurred by that Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment in respect of the Indirect Tax.

(a) | Subject to this Clause 23, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:

| (i) | transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations, under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial institution (the “New Lender”); and

| (ii) | sub-participate any of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement.

(b) | Subject to Clause 23.9 (Security over Lender’s rights), an Existing Lender shall not be permitted to assign any of its rights under the Finance Documents.

23.2 | Conditions of transfer or sub-participation

(a) | Subject to paragraph (b) below, the prior written consent of the Company is required for any transfer or sub-participation by an Existing Lender (and when considering a request for consent to a proposed transfer (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the Company’s discretion as to whether or not to consent to any such transfer), the Company may take into account whether the proposed transferee has a rating for its long-term unsecured and non credit-enhanced debt obligations of A- or higher by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services or Fitch Ratings Ltd or A3 or higher by Moody’s Investor Services Limited or a comparable rating from an internationally recognised credit rating agency).

(b) | The prior written consent of the Company is not required for a transfer by an Existing Lender if the relevant transfer is:

| (i) | to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or

| (ii) | made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing,

unless such transfer is to a Prohibited Transferee, in which case consent of the Company will be required in accordance with paragraph (a) above.

(c) | Any transfer of a Lender’s rights or obligations under the Finance Documents must be in a minimum amount of US$50,000,000 (and following any such transfer by a Lender, unless that Lender has transferred all of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents, that Lender must retain rights and obligations in a minimum amount of US$50,000,000 or, in each case, such lower amount with the consent of the Company.

(d) | A transfer will be effective only if the procedure set out in Clause 23.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with and (save to the extent no longer applicable as a result of amendments made pursuant to paragraph (a) of Clause 34.8 (Amendments with respect to Refinancing Debt)), the New Lender enters into the documentation required for it to accede to the Intercreditor Agreement as a Pari Passu Creditor (under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) unless it is already a party to the Intercreditor Agreement in that capacity.

Page 70

(e) | If:

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

| (ii) | as a result of circumstances existing at the date the transfer occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or 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 transfer had not occurred.

(f) | 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 this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer 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.

(g) | The right of any Lender to make transfers and enter into sub-participations as provided by this Clause 23 is in any event subject to that Lender procuring that Confidentiality Undertakings are entered into and delivered to the Company as provided by Clause 25 (Disclosure of Information).

23.3 | Transfer fee

Unless the Agent otherwise agrees and excluding any transfer to an Affiliate of a Lender, the New Lender shall, on the date upon which a transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of US$2,500.

23.4 | Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(a) | Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

| (i) | the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents, the Transaction Security or any other documents;

| (ii) | the financial condition of any Obligor;

| (iii) | the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

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

Page 71

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 Finance 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.

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

| (i) | accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations transferred under this Clause 23; 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.

23.5 | Procedure for transfer

(a) | Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 23.2 (Conditions of transfer or sub-participation) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) 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 paragraph (b) 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.

(b) | The Agent shall not be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender unless it is satisfied that it has completed all “know your customer” and other similar procedures that it is required (or deems desirable) to conduct in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

(c) | Subject to Clause 23.10 (Pro-rata interest settlement), 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 and in respect of the Transaction Security each of the Obligors 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”);

| (ii) | each of the Obligors 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 that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

Page 72

| (iii) | the Agent, the Security Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Transaction Security 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 Agent, the Security Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

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

(d) | The procedure set out in this Clause 23.5 shall not apply to any right or obligation under any Finance Document (other than this Agreement) if and to the extent its terms, or any laws or regulations applicable thereto, provide for or require a different means of transfer of such right or obligation or prohibit or restrict any transfer of such right or obligation, unless such prohibition or restriction shall not be applicable to the relevant transfer or each condition of any applicable restriction shall have been satisfied.

23.6 | Copy of Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation to Company

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

23.7 | Existing consents and waivers

A New Lender shall be bound by any consent, waiver, election or decision given or made by the relevant Existing Lender under or pursuant to any Finance Document prior to the coming into effect of the relevant transfer to such New Lender.

23.8 | Exclusion of Agent’s liability

In relation to any transfer pursuant to this Clause 23, each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Agent shall not be obliged to enquire as to the accuracy of any representation or warranty made by a New Lender in respect of its eligibility as a Lender.

23.9 | Security over Lenders’ rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 23, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, 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, any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank, except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

(a) | 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

Page 73

(b) | 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 Lender under the Finance Documents.

23.10 | Pro-rata interest settlement

If the Agent has notified the Lenders and the Company (which it shall be under no obligation to do) that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 23.5 (Procedure for transfer) 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 (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

(b) | the rights 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 23.10, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

24. | CHANGES TO THE OBLIGORS

24.1 | Assignments and transfers by Obligors

An Obligor may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Finance Document, except with the prior written consent of all the Lenders.

24.2 | Additional Guarantors

Page 74

that the relevant Offshore Material Subsidiary shall become an Additional Guarantor and the Holding Company of that Offshore Material Subsidiary will become an Additional Chargor (under and as defined in the Composite Share Charge), each in accordance with paragraph (d) below.

(c) | To the fullest extent permitted by law and any applicable regulatory requirements, if any Group Member is required to become a Guarantor under paragraph (a)(viii) or paragraph (a)(ix) of Clause 34.8 (Amendments with respect to Refinancing Debt), the Company shall procure that, on the date on which such Group Member becomes a guarantor in respect of any Refinancing Debt or incurs any Refinancing Debt (as the case may be), the relevant Group Member shall become an Additional Guarantor in accordance with sub-paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iv) of paragraph (d) below.

(d) | A Group Member shall become an Additional Guarantor if:

| (i) | the Company delivers to the Agent a duly completed and executed Accession Letter;

| (iii) | in relation to paragraph (b) above only and save to the extent no longer applicable as a result of amendments made pursuant to paragraph (a) of Clause 34.8 (Amendments with respect to Refinancing Debt), the Holding Company of such proposed Additional Guarantor delivers to the Security Agent a duly completed and executed Composite Share Charge Deed of Accession to (and as defined in) the Composite Share Charge pursuant to the terms thereof to create an effective first ranking fixed Security over the entire issued share capital in such proposed Additional Guarantor in favour of the Security Agent or, if less, all of the issued share capital in such proposed Additional Guarantor that is owned (directly or indirectly) by the Company; and

| (iv) | the Agent has received all of the documents and other evidence listed in Part B of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent required to be delivered by an Additional Guarantor) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, in relation to that Additional Guarantor.

(e) | The Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders promptly upon being so satisfied (acting reasonably) under paragraph (d)(iv) above.

24.3 | Repetition of Repeating Representations

24.4 | Resignation of a Guarantor

(a) | The Company may request that a Guarantor (other than the Company) ceases to be a Guarantor by delivering to the Agent a Resignation Letter.

Page 75

(b) | The Agent shall accept a Resignation Letter and notify the Company and the Lenders of its acceptance if:

| (i) | the Guarantor or its Holding Company is subject to a disposal (a “Third Party Disposal”) that is permitted under the Finance Documents and that is to a person that is not a Group Member and if no Default is continuing or would result from the acceptance of the Resignation Letter (and the Company has confirmed this is the case to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent); or

| (ii) | all the Lenders have consented to the Company’s request; or

| (iii) | the relevant Guarantor is required to be released from its obligations as a Guarantor hereunder pursuant to paragraph (a)(vii) of Clause 34.8 (Amendments with respect to Refinancing Debt).

(d) | Any resignation or release under paragraphs (b) or (c) above will be effective:

| (i) | in the case of a resignation under paragraph (b)(i) above, at the time of completion of the relevant Third Party Disposal;

25.1 | Obligation to keep information confidential

(a) | Each Finance Party must keep confidential all information relating to the Company, any Guarantor, the Group, the Finance Documents or the Facility of which a Finance Party becomes aware in its capacity as, or for the purpose of becoming, a Finance Party or which is received by a Finance Party in relation to, or for the purpose of becoming a Finance Party under, the Finance Documents or the Facility from either (i) any Group Member or any of its advisers; or (ii) another Finance Party, if the information was obtained by that Finance Party directly or indirectly from any Group Member or any of its advisers (regardless of the form such information takes, and including information given orally and any document, electronic file or any other way of representing or recording information which contains or is derived or copied from such information) and shall not use any such information except in connection with the Finance Documents and the Facility.

(b) | However, a Finance Party is entitled to disclose information referred to in paragraph (a) above:

| (i) | if such information is publicly available, other than as a direct or indirect result of a breach by that Finance Party of, or action by its Affiliates that is contrary to the provisions of, this Clause;

Page 76

| (ii) | if required to do so in connection with any legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings or procedure;

| (iii) | if required to do so under any applicable law or regulation;

| (iv) | if required or requested to do so by any governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory authority;

| (v) | to its professional advisers and any other person providing services to it (including, without limitation, any provider of administrative or settlement services and external auditors) provided that such person is under a duty of confidentiality, contractual or otherwise, to that Finance Party;

| (ix) | to any Obligor; or

| (x) | to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.

(c) | A Finance Party may disclose to an Affiliate or any potential transferee or Participant to which a transfer or sub-participation is not expressly prohibited under Clause 23 (Changes to the Lenders) but for the avoidance of doubt not to an Industrial Competitor:

| (i) | a copy of any Finance Document; and

| (ii) | any information which that Finance Party has acquired under or in connection with any Finance Document.

However, before a potential transferee or Participant may receive any confidential information, it must execute in favour of the relevant Finance Party a Confidentiality Undertaking and deliver a copy of the same to the Company. A Participant may itself disclose the documents and information referred to in sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) to an Affiliate or any person with whom it may enter, or has entered into, any kind of transfer of an economic or other interest in, or related to, this Agreement so long as the relevant Affiliate or transferee executes in favour of the relevant potential transferee or Participant a Confidentiality Undertaking and delivers a copy of the same to the Company.

Page 77

This Clause supersedes any previous agreement relating to the confidentiality of such information.

25.2 | Relevant information

Without affecting the responsibility of the Obligors for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each of the Lenders accepts and acknowledges that:

(a) | some or all of the information (including, without limitations, financial projections and/or other financial data) that has or may be provided to the Lenders (through the Agent, the Security Agent or otherwise) is or may constitute relevant information in relation to the Company (the “Price Sensitive Information”) and that the use of such information may be regulated or prohibited by applicable laws and regulations relating to, among other things, insider dealing and/or market abuse;

(b) | upon possession of the Price Sensitive Information, a Lender may be prohibited or restricted under the applicable laws and regulations from, among other things, dealing in or counselling or procuring another person to deal in the listed securities of the Company or its derivatives, or the listed securities of a related corporation of the Company or its derivatives, or otherwise from using or disclosing the Price Sensitive Information;

(c) | none of the Agent, the Security Agent nor the Mandated Lead Arrangers will be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with distributing the information provided that where it is required to act on the instructions of any Lender or Lenders, the Agent or the Security Agent may ask for a confirmation or certificate (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent or the Security Agent, as relevant) confirming that the instructing Lender or Lenders is or are not in possession of any Price Sensitive Information and that it is or they are not instructing the Agent or Security Agent, as relevant, to act as a consequence of being in possession of any Price Sensitive Information; and

(d) | any information received under or in connection with the Finance Documents shall not be used for any unlawful purpose, and each Lender shall make an independent evaluation of, and ensure its compliance with, any legal and regulatory restrictions on the use and/or disclosure of such information.

26. | ROLE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE PARTIES

26.1 | Appointment of the Agent

(a) | Each of the other Finance Parties appoints the Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the Finance Documents.

(c) | Except where a Finance Document specifically provides otherwise, the Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.

(d) | If the Agent receives notice from a Party referring to this Agreement, describing a Default and stating that the circumstance described is a Default, it shall promptly notify the Finance Parties.

(e) | If the Agent is aware of the non-payment of any principal, interest, commitment fee or other fee payable to a Finance Party (other than to any Administrative Party) under this Agreement it shall promptly notify the other Finance Parties.

(b) | Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives, in favour of the Agent, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Agent acting in various capacities under the Finance Documents or for other customers of the Agent. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Agent and its affiliates (together, the “Agent Parties”) may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which a Lender may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Lenders) other than as a result of the Agent acting as Agent or Security Agent under the Finance Documents, that the Agent may not be entitled to share with any Lender.

(c) | Consistent with its long-standing policy to hold in confidence the affairs of its customers, the Agent will not disclose confidential information obtained from any Lender (without its consent) to any of the Agent’s other customers nor will it use on the Lender’s behalf any confidential information obtained from any other customer. Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Lenders agrees that each of the Agent Parties may deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any party and that such dealing or giving of advice, will not constitute a conflict of interest for the purposes of the Finance Documents.

(d) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Finance Document, the Agent shall not in any event be liable for any loss or damage, or any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder if it is prevented from so performing its obligations by any reason which is beyond the control of the Agent, including, but not limited to, any existing or future law or regulation, any existing or future act of governmental authority, Act of God, flood, war whether declared or undeclared, terrorism, riot, rebellion, civil commotion, strike, lockout, other industrial action, general failure of electricity or other supply, aircraft collision, technical failure, accidental or mechanical or electrical breakdown, computer failure or failure of any money transmission system or any event where, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, performance of any duty or obligation under or pursuant to this Agreement would or may be illegal or would result in the Agent being in breach of any law, rule, regulation, or any decree, order or judgment of any court, or practice, request, direction, notice, announcement or similar action (whether or not having the force of law) of any relevant government, government agency, regulatory authority, stock exchange or self-regulatory organisation to which the Agent is subject.

The provisions of this Clause shall survive the termination or expiry of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Agent.

(e) | The Agent’s resignation notice shall take effect only upon the appointment of a successor, provided that notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the resignation of the Agent otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 26 shall be effective immediately in the event that the Agent’s continuing appointment would conflict with (and such resignation would be required by) applicable law or the Agent’s internal policies (including without limitation with respect to “know-your-client” and/or any conflict of interest) that in each case, cannot be resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent.

Page 83

(g) | After consultation with the Company, the Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Agent, require it to resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above. In this event, the Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above.

(h) | The Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) above) if on or after the date which is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Agent under the Finance Documents, either:

| (i) | the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 26.14 (FATCA information) and the Company or a Lender reasonably believes that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

| (ii) | any information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 26.14 (FATCA information) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

and (in each case) the Company or a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and the Company or that Lender, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign.

For the purposes of this paragraph (h):

“Code” means the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

“FATCA” has the meaning given to that term in Clause 12.1 (Tax definitions).

Page 84

| (B) | in relation to a “withholdable payment” described in section 1473(1)(A)(ii) of the Code (which relates to “gross proceeds” from the disposition of property of a type that can produce interest from sources within the US), 1 January 2017; or

| (C) | in relation to a “passthru payment” described in section 1471(d)(7) of the Code not falling within paragraphs (a) or (b) above, 1 January 2017,

or, in each case, such other date from which such payment may become subject to a deduction or withholding required by FATCA as a result of any change in FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

“FATCA Deduction” has the meaning given to that term in Clause 12.1 (Tax definitions).

“FATCA Exempt Party” means a Party that is entitled to receive payments free from any FATCA Deduction.

26.13 | Replacement of the Agent

(a) | After consultation with the Company, the Majority Lenders may, by giving thirty (30) days’ notice to the Agent (or, at any time the Agent is an Impaired Agent, by giving any shorter notice determined by the Majority Lenders) replace the Agent or by appointing a successor Agent (acting through an office in Hong Kong).

(b) | The retiring Agent shall (at its own cost if it is an Impaired Agent and otherwise at the expense of the Lenders) make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.

(c) | The appointment of the successor Agent shall take effect on the date specified in the notice from the Majority Lenders to the retiring Agent. As from this date, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents but shall remain entitled to the benefit of this Clause 26.13 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).

Page 85

| (ii) | supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “passthru payment percentage” or other information required under the US Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA.

(b) | If the Agent confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) 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, the Agent shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

(c) | Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige the Agent 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 the Agent fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then:

| (i) | if the Agent failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then the Agent shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

| (ii) | if the Agent failed to confirm its applicable “passthru payment percentage” then the Agent shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable “passthru payment percentage” is 100%,

until (in each case) such time as the Agent provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

26.15 | Confidentiality

(a) | In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, each of the Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency or, as the case may be, trustee division which shall be treated as a separate legal person from any other of its branches, divisions or departments.

(b) | If information is received by another branch, division or department of the legal person which is the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that branch, division or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.

(c) | Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Agent shall not be obliged to disclose to any Finance Party any information supplied to it by the Company or any Affiliates of the Company on a confidential basis and for the purpose of evaluating whether any waiver or amendment is or may be required or desirable in relation to any Finance Document.

Page 86

26.16 | Relationship with the Lenders

(a) | Subject to Clause 28.2 (Distributions by the Agent), the Agent may treat each Lender as a Lender, entitled to payments under this Agreement and acting through its Facility Office unless it has received not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) | Each Lender shall supply the Agent with any information that the Agent may reasonably specify as being necessary or desirable to enable the Agent to perform its functions as Agent.

(c) | Any Lender may by notice to the Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications, information and documents to be made or despatched to that Lender under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address, fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under Clause 30.5 (Electronic communication)) electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to be made) and be treated as a notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address, department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 30.2 (Addresses) and paragraph (a) of Clause 30.5 (Electronic communication) and the Agent shall be entitled to treat such person as the person entitled to receive all such notices, communications, information and documents as though that person were that Lender.

26.17 | 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 Finance Document, each Lender confirms to each Administrative Party that it 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 Finance Document including but not limited to:

(a) | the financial condition, status and nature of each Group Member;

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

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

(d) | the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information provided by the Agent, the Security Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; and

(e) | the right or title of any person in or to, or the value or sufficiency of any part of the Charged Property, the priority of any of the Transaction Security or the existence of any Security affecting the Charged Property.

Page 87

26.18 | Reference Banks

If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the Agent shall (with the consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or any bank approved by the Majority Lenders to replace that Reference Bank.

26.19 | Agent’s management time

Any amount payable to the Agent under Clause 15.3 (Indemnity to the Agent), Clause 16 (Costs and Expenses) and Clause 26.11 (Lenders’ indemnity to the Agent) shall include the reasonable cost of utilising the Agent’s management time or other resources in respect of any duties which are outside the scope of the normal duties of the Agent under the Finance Documents and will be calculated on the basis of such reasonable daily or hourly rates as the Agent may notify to the Parent and the Lenders, and is in addition to any fee paid or payable to the Agent under Clause 11 (Fees). For the avoidance of doubt, any action required to be undertaken by the Agent in respect of or in relation to any Default, change in structure of the Facility, including acts contemplated in Clauses 16.2 (Amendment costs) and 16.3 (Enforcement costs) shall not be regarded as tasks falling within the scope of the normal duties of the Agent under the Finance Documents. In the event of any dispute in respect of such cost of utilising the Agent’s management time or other resources, the costs to be paid shall be as reasonably determined by the Agent.

26.20 | Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent

If any Party owes an amount to the Agent under the Finance Documents the Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Agent 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.

27. | SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES

27.1 | Payments to Finance Parties

If a Finance Party (a “Recovering Finance Party”) receives or recovers (whether by set off or otherwise) any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 28 (Payment Mechanics) (a “Recovered Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

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

(b) | the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 28 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(c) | the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 28.6 (Partial payments).

Page 88

27.2 | Redistribution of payments

The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the “Sharing Finance Parties”) in accordance with Clause 28.6 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of that Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties.

27.3 | Recovering Finance Party’s rights

(a) | On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 27.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor, as between the relevant Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

(b) | If and to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party is not able to rely on its rights under paragraph (a) above, the relevant Obligor shall be liable to the Recovering Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable.

27.4 | 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 Recovering 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

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

27.5 | Exceptions

(a) | This Clause 27 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

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

| (i) | it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

| (ii) | that other Finance Party 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.

Page 89

28. | PAYMENT MECHANICS

28.1 | Payments to the Agent

(a) | On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

(b) | Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency with such bank as the Agent specifies.

| (i) | with respect to the Borrower and the Original Lenders, to such account as specified in Schedule 13 (Account details) (or such other account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency); or

| (ii) | with respect to any other Party, to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency.

(b) | The Agent shall distribute payments received by it in relation to all or any part of a Loan to the Lender indicated in the records of the Agent as being so entitled on that date PROVIDED THAT the Agent is authorised to distribute payments to be made on the date on which any transfer becomes effective pursuant to Clause 23 (Changes to the Lenders) to the Lender so entitled immediately before such transfer took place regardless of the period to which such sums relate.

28.3 | Distributions to an Obligor

The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 29 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

Page 90

28.4 | Clawback

(a) | Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

(b) | If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

28.5 | Impaired Agent

(a) | If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent in accordance with Clause 28.1 (Payments to the Agent) may instead either:

| (i) | pay that amount direct to the required recipient(s); or

| (ii) | if in its absolute discretion it considers that it is not reasonably practicable to pay that amount direct to the required recipient(s), pay that amount or the relevant part of that amount to an interest-bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Lender making the payment (the “Paying Party”) and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents (the “Recipient Party” or “Recipient Parties”).

In each case such payments must be made on the due for payment under the Finance Documents.

(b) | All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of the Recipient Party or the Recipient Parties pro rata to their respective entitlements.

(c) | A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 28.5 shall be discharged of the relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the trust account.

(d) | Promptly upon the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 26.13 (Replacement of the Agent ), each Paying Party shall (other than to the extent that that Party has given an instruction pursuant to paragraph (e) below) give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with any accrued interest) to the successor Agent for distribution to the relevant Recipient Party or Recipient Parties in accordance with Clause 28.2 (Distributions by the Agent).

(e) | A Paying Party shall, promptly upon request by a Recipient Party and to the extent:

| (i) | that it has not given an instruction pursuant to paragraph (d) above; and

| (ii) | that it has been provided with the necessary information by that Recipient Party,

Page 91

give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the relevant amount (together with any accrued interest) to that Recipient Party.

28.6 | Partial payments

(a) | If any Finance Party receives or recovers an amount from or in respect of any Obligor under or in connection with any Finance Document which amount is insufficient to, or is not applied to, discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents, then (subject, in the case of any receipt or recovery under any Transaction Security Document, to the provisions of such Transaction Security Document) the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the following order:

| (i) | first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Agent under the Finance Documents;

| (ii) | secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee (other than as provided in (ii) above) or commission due but unpaid under the Finance Documents;

If a Final Repayment Date is not a Business Day, any payment which is due to be made on that Final Repayment Date shall be made on the preceding Business Day.

(b) | During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under paragraph (a) above, interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the original due date.

(b) | A repayment of a Loan or Unpaid Sum or a part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum shall be made in the currency in which that Loan or Unpaid Sum is denominated on its due date.

| (i) | any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Company); and

| (ii) | any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Company).

29. | SET-OFF

While an Event of Default is continuing, a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. That Finance Party shall promptly notify that Obligor of any such set-off or conversion.

| (ii) | no amendment to this Agreement shall be made pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) above to delete a Trigger Date Clause if that Trigger Date Clause is a Key Provision (as defined in Clause 34.9 (Most Favoured Nation amendments)) and required to be included in this Agreement pursuant to Clause 34.9 (Most Favoured Nation amendments);
