COSTS OF UTILISATION

10. INTEREST

10.1 Calculation of interest

The rate of interest which shall accrue on each Loan for each Interest Period is (A) Interest Relevant Percentage multiplied by (B) the applicable PBOC Base Rate.

In this Agreement, “Interest Relevant Percentage” means 130%, but if:

(a) no Event of Default has occurred; and

(b) a period of at least 12 Months has expired since the first Utilisation Date;

then the Interest Relevant Percentage will be the percentage set out in the table below under the heading “Interest Relevant Percentage” which corresponds to the Leverage Ratio specified in the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered to the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 21.2 (Compliance Certificate):

Leverage Ratio |  | Interest Relevant Percentage |
Greater than 3.0:1 |  | 130 | %
Less than or equal to 3.0:1 |  | 120 | %

However,

(i) any increase or decrease in the Interest Relevant Percentage for the Loans resulting from a change of the Leverage Ratio shall become effective on the immediate next Interest Payment Date;

(ii) any change in the PBOC Base Rate for the Loans shall only become effective on the immediate next Interest Payment Date; and

(iii) while an Event of Default is continuing, the Interest Relevant Percentage shall be the highest percentage set out above.

10.2 Payment of interest

Except where it is provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the Loans on each Interest Payment Date, except that if the first Interest Period is less than 1 Month to the first Interest Payment Date, the interests on the Loans for the first Interest Period shall accrue to and be payable on the second Interest Payment Date.

10.3 Default interest

(a) If an Obligor Party 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 the applicable Default Rate. Any interest accruing under this paragraph (a) shall be immediately payable by the Obligor Party on demand by the Facility Agent.

(b) If the Borrower applies any part of the Loans otherwise as contemplated in Clause 3 (Purpose), then notwithstanding any other rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents, the Borrower must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent pay interest on the misappropriated amount from

49

and including the date of such misappropriation up to the date of actual payment (both before, on and after judgment) at the applicable Default Rate. Any interest accruing under this paragraph (b) shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Facility Agent.

(c) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an Unpaid Sum or misappropriated amount will be compounded with the Unpaid Sum or misappropriated amount at each Interest Payment Date, and such Unpaid Sum and misappropriated amount (including the default interest compounded thereto) shall remain immediately due and payable.

(d) 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 the applicable Default Rate.

(a) Subject to any alternative basis agreed and consented to as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b) of Clause 11.2 (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 reasonably reflect the applicable Lender’s demonstrated cost of funds (if higher than then rate of interest) plus a margin comparable to the margin which the Lender is offering for loans in respect of similar transactions to the Facilities, as notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event not later than five Business Days before interest is due

50

to be paid in respect of that Interest Period (or such later date as may be acceptable to the Facility Agent).

(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.

13.6 FATCA Information

19. GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

19.1 Guarantee and indemnity

The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:

(a) guarantees to each Secured Party punctual performance by the Borrower of all Borrower’s obligations under the Transaction Documents;

(b) undertakes with each Secured Party that whenever the Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Transaction Document, the Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor;

(c) agrees with each Secured Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Secured Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of the Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Transaction Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 19 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee; and

(d) Notwithstanding clause (b) and (c) above, the Guarantor further agrees that, whenever the Borrower has any amount due and payable under or in connection with any Transaction Document, the Security Agent shall be entitled to directly claim against the Guarantor in respect of any amount payable on any due date without first having recourse to the Borrower, and the Guarantor agrees to pay each Secured Party such amount on or before each due date. The Guarantor further irrevocably authorizes the Security Agent to directly deduct any balances in the Receiving Account 2 to pay the amount payable on each due date, and the Security Agent is not required to serve any prior notice for such claim and deduction.

19.2 Continuing guarantee

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor Party under the Transaction Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

19.3 Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor Party or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Secured Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Guarantor under this Clause 19 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

19.4 Waiver of defences

The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 19 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause19, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 19 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Secured Party) including:

68

(a) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor Party or other person;

(b) the release of any other Obligor Party or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Obligor Party;

(c) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, execute, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

(d) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor Party or any other person;

(e) any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Transaction Document or any other document or security including without limitation any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Transaction Document or other document or security;

(f) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Transaction Document or any other document or security;

(g) any insolvency or similar proceedings; or

(h) this Agreement or any other Transaction Document not being executed by or binding upon any other party.

19.5 Immediate recourse

The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Guarantor under this Clause 19. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Transaction Document to the contrary.

19.6 Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligor Parties under or in connection with the Transaction Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

(a) refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantor or on account of its liability under this Clause 19.

19.7 Deferral of Guarantors’ rights

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligor Parties under or in connection with the Transaction Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise or otherwise enjoy the benefit of any right which it may have

69

by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Transaction Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 19:

(a) to be indemnified by an Obligor Party;

(b) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of or provider of security for any Obligor Party’s obligations under the Transaction Documents;

(c) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Secured Parties under the Transaction Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Transaction Documents by any Secured Party;

(d) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor Party to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 19.1 (Guarantee and Indemnity);

(e) to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor Party; and/or

(f) to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor Party in competition with any Secured Party.

If the Guarantor shall receive any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to any such right it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution (or so much of it as may be necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Secured Parties by the Obligor Parties under or in connection with the Transaction Documents to be paid in full) on trust for the Secured Parties, and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 32 (Payment mechanics).

19.8 Additional security

This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Secured Party.

105

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, the Security Agent 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”.

(d) The procedure set out in this Clause 26.5 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.

26.6 Procedure for assignment

(a) Subject to the conditions set out in paragraph (d) below and in Clause 26.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer), an assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph (b) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, subject to paragraph (d)(ii) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement.

(b) On the Transfer Date:

(i) the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender the rights under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;

(ii) the Existing Lender will be released by each Obligor Party and the other Finance Parties from the obligations owed by it (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 Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

(c) Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 26.6 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor Party or unless in accordance with Clause 26.5 (Procedure for transfer), to obtain a release by that Obligor Party from the obligations owed to that Obligor Party by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in paragraph (d) below.

(d) An assignment (whether pursuant to an Assignment Agreement or paragraph (c) above) will only be effective on:

(i) receipt by the Facility Agent (whether in an Assignment Agreement or otherwise) 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

106

(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. The Facility Agent shall not be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by an Existing Lender and the New Lender or any document delivered to it pursuant to paragraph (c) above 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 assignment to such New Lender.

(e) The procedure set out in this Clause 26.6 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 assignment of such right or release or assumption of such obligation or prohibit or restrict any assignment of such right or release or assumption of such obligation, unless such prohibition or restriction shall not be applicable to the relevant assignment, release or assumption or each condition of any applicable restriction shall have been satisfied.

26.7 Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Company

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.

26.8 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 assignment or transfer to such New Lender.

26.9 Exclusion of Agent’s liability

In relation to any assignment or transfer pursuant to this Clause 26, each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Facility 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.

26.10 Security over Lenders’ rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 26, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor Party, 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:

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

(b) in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

(i) 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

107

(ii) require any payments to be made by an Obligor Party 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.

27. CHANGES TO THE OBLIGORS

Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor may (and shall ensure no other Obligor Parties will) assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Finance Document, except with the prior written consent of all the Lenders.

(a) the Recovering Finance 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 Finance 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 Finance Party shall, within three 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 Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 32.5 (Partial payments).

120

30.2 Redistribution of payments

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

30.3 Recovering Finance Party’s rights

(a) On a distribution by the Facility Agent under Clause 30.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor Party, as between the relevant Obligor Party 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 Party .

(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 Party shall be liable to the Recovering Finance Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable.

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 Facility Agent, pay to the Facility 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 Party 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 Party.

(a) the Recovering Secured Party shall, within three Business Days supply details of the recovery to the Security Agent;

(b) the Security Agent shall calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the Recovering Secured Party would have received if the recovery had been received by the Security Agent under the Transaction Security Documents and applied in accordance with this Agreement; and

31.2 Effect of redistribution

(a) The Security Agent shall treat a redistribution as if it were the proceeds of enforcement of the Transaction Security Documents and distribute it in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) When the Security Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the Recovering Secured Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Secured Parties which have shared in that redistribution.

(c) If and to the extent that the Recovering Secured Party is not able to rely on any rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the relevant Obligor Party will owe the Recovering Secured Party a debt which is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged.

(d) If:

(v) a Recovering Secured Party shall subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor Party; and

(vi) the Recovering Secured Party has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery,

(vii) each Secured Party shall reimburse the Recovering Secured Party all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Secured Party, together with interest for the period while it held the re-distribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.

31.3 Loss sharing

(a) If any Secured Liability remains undischarged and any resulting loss is not borne by a Secured Party in accordance with Clause 25.13 (Proceeds of enforcement), the Secured Parties shall make such payments between themselves as the Security Agent may require to ensure that after taking into account those payments the losses are borne by the Secured Parties as if Clause 25.13 (Proceeds of enforcement) had applied.

(b) For the purpose of paragraph (a) above:

(i) the Total Commitments under this Agreement will be notionally increased by an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate of any amount (if any, the “Hedging Termination Payment”):

122

(A) payable to any Hedging Provider as a result of the Hedging Termination under a Hedging Arrangement if such Hedging Arrangement was so terminated or closed out prior to the date of enforcement of the Transaction Security; or

(B) that would be payable to any Hedging Provider as a result of the Hedging Termination under a Hedging Arrangement if such Hedging Arrangement were so terminated or closed out on the date of enforcement of the Transaction Security; and

(ii) each Hedging Provider shall be deemed (if it is a Lender) to have the aggregate amount of its Commitments increased by, or (if it is not a Lender) to have a Commitment in, the amount equal to the aggregate of the Hedging Termination Payments (if any) that would be payable to that Hedging Provider as a result of the Hedging Termination under the Hedging Arrangements on the date of the enforcement of the security under the Transaction Security Documents.
