Article 3
Interest
3.1 Rate of interest
For the purposes of this Contract, and for as long as none of the events under (1) or (2) below has occurred and is continuing, "Margin" means 54 basis points (0.54%) provided, however, if the Guarantor’s long term debt credit rating from:
Moody’s falls to (1) Ba1, the Margin shall be 80 basis points (0.80%) or (2) Ba2 or below, the Margin shall be 122 basis points (0.122%); or
S&P's falls to (1) BB+, the Margin shall be 80 basis points (0.80%) or (2) BB or below, the Margin shall be 122 basis points (0.122%).
If the applicable Ratings established by Moody’s and S&P are different, then the Margin will be based on the higher Rating (e.g., if Moody’s announced Rating is higher than S&P’s announced Rating, then the applicable Margin will be based on Moody’s Rating). In the event that either S&P or Moody’s (but not both) shall no longer issue a Rating, the Margin shall be determined by the remaining Rating. In the event that neither S&P nor Moody’s issues a Rating, the Borrower and the Bank shall negotiate in good faith to amend the definition of Margin contained in this Contract to reflect such unavailability of a rating from Moody’s and S&P's. Pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Margin shall be determined by reference to the Rating most recently in effect prior to such cessation.
The Margin shall be effective as of the first Payment Date following the downgrade by Moody’s or S&P's, as the case may be, following which either (1) or (2) of the corresponding Rating above become applicable.
3.1.A Fixed Rate Tranches
The Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding balance of each Fixed Rate Tranche at the Fixed Rate quarterly, semi-annually or annually in arrear on the relevant Payment Dates as specified in the Disbursement Offer, commencing on the first such Payment Date following the Disbursement Date of the Tranche. If the period from the Disbursement Date to the first Payment Date is 15 (fifteen) days or less then the payment of interest accrued during such period shall be postponed to the following Payment Date.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of Article 5.1(a).
3.1.B Floating Rate Tranches
3.1.B(1)GENERAL
(a)The Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding balance of each Floating Rate Tranche at the applicable Floating Rate quarterly or semi-annually or annually in arrear on the relevant Payment Dates, as specified in the Disbursement Offer commencing on the first such Payment Date following the Disbursement Date of the Tranche. If the period from the Disbursement Date to the first Payment Date is 15 (fifteen) days or less then the payment of interest accrued during such period shall be postponed to the following Payment Date.
(b)The Bank shall not be required to make any notification to the Borrower pursuant to this Article on a day which is not a Business Day (and shall make any such notification on the next Business Day).

(a)Interest shall be calculated in respect of each RFR Floating Rate Tranche on the basis of Article 5.1(c).
(b)Without prejudice to the Borrower's obligation to pay accrued interest on its due date in accordance with the terms of this Contract, in respect of RFR Floating Rate Tranches the Bank shall, without undue delay upon the interest amount payable in respect of a Floating Rate Reference Period being determinable, notify the Borrower of that interest amount and in any event prior to the last day of the relevant Floating Rate Reference Period. This provision shall not apply to any rate of interest or interest amount determined in accordance with Article 3.1.B(4).
(c)If any day during a Floating Rate Reference Period for an RFR Floating Rate Tranche is not an RFR Business Day, the rate of interest on that RFR Floating Rate Tranche for that day will be the rate applicable to the immediately preceding RFR Business Day.
(d)If pursuant to Articles 1.5 and 1.6 disbursement of any RFR Floating Rate Tranche takes place after the Scheduled Disbursement Date, the interest applicable to the first Floating Rate Reference Period for such RFR Floating Rate Tranche shall be determined, in accordance with Schedule F, for the Floating Rate Reference Period commencing on the Disbursement Date and not on the Scheduled Disbursement Date.
(e)The aggregate amount of interest payable by the Borrower on each RFR Floating Rate Tranche or each overdue amount relating to an RFR Floating Rate Tranche for a Floating Rate Reference Period shall be the sum of the amount of interest for such RFR Floating Rate Tranche or such overdue amount (as applicable) on each day during the applicable Floating Rate Reference Period, provided that, if the aggregate amount of interest for such RFR Floating Rate Tranche or such overdue amount (as applicable) for a Floating Rate Reference Period is less than zero, it will be deemed to be zero.
(f)The amount of interest, indemnities or fee which accrues during a Floating Rate Reference Period for an RFR Floating Rate Tranche (or of any amount equal to that interest, indemnity or fee) shall be rounded to two decimal places (rounded upwards where the 3rd decimal place is 0.005 or above).

(i)for the purposes of calculating that interest only, and in relation only to such part of that RFR Floating Rate Tranche or overdue amount in USD (as applicable) to which that interest relates, be treated as ending on the day on which that interest becomes payable by the Borrower or is required to be determined pursuant to this Contract; and
(ii)for all other purposes under this Contract, continue to end, and shall be treated as ending, on the last day of that Floating Rate Reference Period.
30

(a)If, for the purposes of this Article 3.1.B, there is no applicable RFR, Central Bank Rate or Historical Central Bank Rate for an RFR Business Day during a Floating Rate Reference Period for the purposes of calculating the Daily Non-Cumulative Compounded RFR Rate, the Daily Non-Cumulative Compounded RFR Rate shall not apply to that RFR Floating Rate Tranche for that Floating Rate Reference Period and the rate of interest payable by the Borrower on that RFR Floating Rate Tranche for that Floating Rate Reference Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

If, for as long as any amount of the Loan remains outstanding, the Borrower or any other member of the Group enters into any loan, bond or other form of senior unsecured financial indebtedness, or any obligation for the payment or repayment of money, in a principal
43

amount exceeding EUR 100,000,000 (one hundred million euros), or the equivalent thereof in any other currency, which contains (i) rating clauses (including, but not limited to, a loss-of-rating clause), (ii) financial covenants clauses pursuant to which compliance with certain financial figures or ratios is required, (iii) material adverse change/effect (or equivalent) is included as an event of default, (iv) limitation on Subsidiary indebtedness clauses, (v) negative pledge clauses, (vi) asset disposal clauses, (vii) cross default clauses or (viii) provision of co-borrowership/upstream guarantees by any operating Subsidiary of the Guarantor for any indebtedness of the Guarantor (each such clause or undertaking, as the case may be, hereinafter referred to as a "More Favourable Clause") which is either:
(a) not included in this Contract,
(b) is stricter than the relevant provisions of this Contract, or
(c) is otherwise more favourable for third party creditors than the relevant provisions of this Contract,
the Borrower shall inform the Bank without delay and in any case within 10 (ten) Business Days following the conclusion or amendment of such contractual arrangement in writing and provide the text of such More Favourable Clause to the Bank. Such More Favourable Clause will be deemed to be incorporated into this Contract by reference, with effect as of the day when such More Favourable Clause became effective under the relevant contract (any such More Favourable Clause so adopted by reference into this Contract, an "Adopted Clause"). Such Adopted Clause shall not be amended, cancelled, or withdrawn without the prior written consent of the Bank, and the Borrower shall upon the request of the Bank conclude an amendment to this Contract which incorporates the relevant Adopted Clause.
In the event a More Favourable Clause becomes an Adopted Clause under this Contract and, thereafter, such More Favourable Clause is either removed or amended to be less restrictive on the Borrower or the Guarantor or is otherwise less favorable to the third party creditors than such More Favorable Clause had previously been (a "Relaxed More Favourable Clause"), then, upon notice thereof by the Borrower to the Bank together with the delivery of the text of such Relaxed More Favourable Clause to the Bank, (x) in the case of a More Favourable Clause originally subject to clause (a) above, such Adopted Clause shall automatically cease to be effective under this Contract, (y) in the case of a More Favourable Clause originally subject to clauses (b) or (c) above, such Adopted Clause shall automatically be deemed amended to conform to such Relaxed More Favorable Clause; provided, however, that the relevant provisions of this Contract shall not be deemed to be amended pursuant to this clause (y) to the extent that any such amendment would render such provision less restrictive on the Borrower or the Guarantor than such provision would have been had such original Adopted Clause never been adopted (by reference or otherwise) into this Contract. The Bank shall, upon the request of the Borrower, conclude an amendment to this Contract which deletes or amends, as the case may be, the relevant Adopted Clause.
This Article 7.3 shall not apply to:
(i) any financial indebtedness incurred (x) from banks (other than multilateral development banks/IFIs) or (y) in form of bonds issued by any member of the Group, in each case in non-OECD countries by any member of the Group located and incorporated in a non-OECD country; and
