Any interest accruing under this Clause 9.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Facility Agent.

35

b) | If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan for which Term SOFR is the applicable Reference Rate which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to such Loan:

| (i) | the first Interest Period for that overdue amount 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 overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be two (2) per cent higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

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

11 | CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

11.1 | Absence of quotations

b) | Central Bank Rate: If the applicable Reference Rate (Term SOFR or SOFR) is not available, as relevant on any day during, the Interest Period of a Loan and in case of Term SOFR it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Term SOFR, the applicable Reference Rate shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of (i) the arithmetic mean of the Central Bank Rate for the relevant days in the Interest Period of the Loan(s), provided that the Central Bank Rate applicable to the day falling five (5) days prior to the last day of the relevant Interest Period shall be deemed to be the Central Bank Rate for the final five (5) days of that Interest Period and (ii) the applicable Central Bank Rate Adjustment.

11.2 | Interest calculation if no Term SOFR, SOFR or Central Bank Rate

If Clause 11.1 (Absence of quotations) paragraph (b) applies but no Central Bank Rate is available for the purpose of calculating the Reference Rate, 11.4 (Cost of funds) shall apply to the Loan(s) for the relevant Interest Period.

11.3 | Market disruption

If before close of business in Amsterdam on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed fifty per cent.

11.4 | Cost of funds

a) | If this Clause 11.4 applies, the rate of interest on each Lender's share of the relevant Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

| (ii) | in respect of each relevant Lender, the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event within 2 Business Days before the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum its cost of funds relating to its participation in that Loan.

b) | If this Clause11.4 applies and the Facility Agent or the Borrowers so require, the Facility Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

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

e) | The Borrowers shall continue to pay interest calculated under this Clause 11.4 as long as no agreed substitute basis for determining the rate of interest has been implemented.

f) | If this Clause 11.4 applies and:

| (i) | a Lender's Funding Rate is less than the Market Disruption Rate; or

| (ii) | a Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in sub-paragraph (a)(ii) above,

the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan for that Interest Period shall be deemed, or the purposes of paragraph (a) above, to be the Market Disruption Rate for that Loan.

11.5 | Notification of market disruption

If Clause 11.4 (Cost of funds) applies the Facility Agent shall, as soon as is practicable, notify the Borrowers and each of the relevant Lenders.

11.6 | Break Costs

Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrowers.

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

| (i) | with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:

under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or
under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party's Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,
if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or

b) | Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

| (iii) | any duty of confidentiality.

d) | If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with sub-paragraph a)(i) or a)(ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

42

13.8 | FATCA Deduction

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

| (ii) | the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of the Borrowers;

| (iii) | any deferral, postponement or other forms of extensions granted to an Obligor in respect of any repayments, prepayments or payment to be made under any of the Finance Documents; and

| (iv) | an Obligor's or any other person's bankruptcy or debt reorganisation proceedings or any application for such proceedings.

c) | The Guarantor further confirms that it has received and noted information in respect of all other Security or guarantees created under the Finance Documents; and

19.6 | Guarantor intent

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 19.5 (Waiver of defences and confirmations), the Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance 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 Finance Document to the contrary.

a) | refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance 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 the Guarantor's liability under this Clause 19.

19.9 | Deferral of the Guarantor's rights

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 19:

a) | to be indemnified by an Obligor;

b) | to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

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

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

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

If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on behalf of the Finance 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 33 (Payment mechanics).

19.10 | 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 Finance Party.

| (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 or any other Finance Party in connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security; and

83

| (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.

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

27.4 | Procedure for transfer

b) | The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

c) | Subject to Clause 27.6 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

| (i) | to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer 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;

| (iii) | the Facility Agent, the Arranger, the Security Agent, the New Lender, and the 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 obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Facility Agent, the Arranger, 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".

| (i) | any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing 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 (6) Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six (6) Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and

| (ii) | the rights transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

| (A) | when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the Existing Lender; and

| (B) | the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 27.5, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

b) | In this Clause 27.5 references to "Interest Period" shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.

c) | An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 27.5 but which does not have a Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents.

27.7 | Transfers to K-Sure

a) | If a Lender receives a payment from K-Sure under any K-Sure Insurance Policy in respect of its participation in the Loans, then, to the extent that it is required to do so by K-Sure pursuant to the terms of such K-Sure Insurance Policy, that Lender shall, at the cost of the Borrowers and without any requirement for the consent of the Borrowers, transfer to K-Sure (in accordance with, and subject to, Clause 27 (Changes to the Lenders)) a part of its participation in the Loan equal to the amount paid to it by K-Sure.

| (i) | the obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers against the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Finance Documents shall not be reduced, discharged nor affected in any way;

| (ii) | each Lender under the K-Sure Tranche agrees that after payment by K-Sure of amounts due under the relevant K-Sure Insurance Policy, upon K-Sure's request, the relevant Lender shall assign to K-Sure its rights to recover against the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents and until the assignment referred to in this subparagraph (ii) is completed, the relevant Lender shall hold on trust for K-Sure any payments made under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents and pay or transfer them to K-Sure in accordance with the relevant K-Sure Insurance Policy; and

| (iii) | notwithstanding anything to the contrary, K-Sure shall be entitled to the extent it has made payment under the relevant K-Sure Insurance Policy to exercise the rights of the Lenders against the Borrowers under this Agreement and each of the other Finance Documents or any relevant laws and/or regulations unless and until such payment and the interest accrued thereon are fully reimbursed to K-Sure.

b) | The Borrowers agree to co-operate with K-Sure, the ECA Agent and any Lender under the K-Sure Tranche, as the case may be, in giving effect to any assignment referred to in this clause, and to take all actions requested by K-Sure.

27.9 | Reimbursement

a) | Without prejudice to Clause 27.8 (Subrogation), the Borrowers agree that they will promptly upon receipt of notice thereof reimburse K-Sure for any payment made by K-Sure under the relevant K-Sure Insurance Policy, whether by direct payment or offset, in respect of, and to the extent of, the Borrowers’ obligations to the Lenders under this Agreement (such amounts, the “K-Sure Insurance Policy Payments”).

b) | The obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse K-Sure will be due and payable in the currency of payment by K-Sure within five (5) Business Days of written demand in an amount equal to (without double counting):

| (i) | the K-Sure Insurance Policy Payments; and

| (ii) | all previously paid K-Sure Insurance Policy Payments which remain unreimbursed, together with any commission on any and all amounts remaining unreimbursed from and including the date on which such amounts become due until and including the date on which such amounts are paid in full determined in accordance with Clause 9.3 (Default interest).

27.10 | Satisfaction of obligations

a) | The Parties acknowledge and agree that the K-Sure Insurance Policy Payments that are reimbursed by the Borrowers to K-Sure pursuant to Clause 27.8 (Subrogation) and Clause 27.9 (Reimbursement) shall satisfy the obligation of the Borrowers to make payments to Lenders under the K-Sure Tranche under this Agreement of the corresponding amounts of principal and interest in respect of which the K-Sure Insurance Policy Payments were paid to such Lenders by K-Sure.

b) | Paragraph a) above applies to default interest accruing under Clause 9.3 (Default interest) in respect of any amount remaining unpaid by the Borrowers to a Lender under the K-Sure Tranche (the “Relevant Unpaid Amount”) after such outstanding amount has been paid to the Lenders by K-Sure under the relevant K-Sure Insurance Policy which will be satisfied if the Borrowers pay the equivalent amount of default interest to K-Sure under Clause 27.9 (Reimbursement) in respect of an unreimbursed K-Sure Insurance Policy Payment paid by K-Sure in respect of the Relevant Unpaid Amount. For the sake of good order, any default interest accruing under Clause 9.3 (Default interest) in respect of any amount which remains unpaid by the Borrowers under this Facility which has not been paid by K-Sure to the Lenders shall be payable to the Finance Parties in accordance with this Agreement.

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 27, 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:

| (i) | if the relevant Hedging Agreement is based on an ISDA Master Agreement, the amount, if any, which would be payable to it under that Hedging Agreement in respect of those hedging transactions, if the date on which the calculation is made was deemed to be an Early Termination Date (as defined in the relevant ISDA Master Agreement) for which the relevant Obligor is the Defaulting Party (as defined in the relevant ISDA Master Agreement); or

| (ii) | if the relevant Hedging Agreement is not based on an ISDA Master Agreement, the amount, if any, which would be payable to it under that Hedging Agreement in respect of that hedging transaction, if the date on which the calculation is made was deemed to be the date on which an event similar in meaning and effect (under that Hedging Agreement) to an Early Termination Date (as defined in any ISDA Master Agreement) occurred under that Hedging Agreement for which the relevant Obligor is in a position similar in meaning and effect (under that Hedging Agreement) to that of a Defaulting Party (under and as defined in the same ISDA Master Agreement),

that amount, in each case as calculated in accordance with the relevant Hedging Agreement.

c) | The Obligors shall immediately on demand reimburse any Finance Party for any payment that Finance Party makes to the Security Agent pursuant to paragraph a) above, other than to the extent that the indemnity payment in respect of which the Lender claims reimbursement relates to a liability of the Security Agent to an Obligor.

29.14 | Resignation of the Facility Agent

a) | The Facility Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates acting through an office as successor by giving notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers.

c) | If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Facility Agent in accordance with paragraph b) above within twenty (20) days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Facility Agent (after consultation with the Borrowers) may appoint a successor Facility Agent.

d) | If the Facility Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate for it to remain as Facility Agent and the Facility Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Facility Agent under paragraph c) above, the Facility Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Facility Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Facility Agent) agree with the proposed successor Facility Agent amendments to this Clause 29 and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the Facility Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees together with any reasonable amendments to the agency fee payable under this Agreement which are consistent with the successor Facility Agent's normal fee rates and those amendments will bind the Parties.

97

e) | The retiring Facility Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Facility Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Facility Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Facility Agent under the Finance Documents. The Borrowers shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand, reimburse the retiring Facility Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) properly incurred by it in making available such documents and records and providing such assistance.

f) | The Facility Agent's resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor Facility Agent.

g) | Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph e) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 15.3 (Indemnity to the Facility Agent, the ECA Agent and K-Sure ) and this Clause 29 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Facility Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

h) | The Facility Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph b) above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph c) above) if on or after the date which is three (3) months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents, either:

| (i) | the Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 13.7 (FATCA information) and a Lender reasonably believes that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

| (ii) | the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 13.7 (FATCA information) indicates that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

| (iii) | the Facility Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

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

i) | This Clause 29.14 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Security Agent, except that references to the "Facility Agent" shall be construed as references to the "Security Agent" and references to the "Lenders" shall be construed as references to the "Finance Parties", provided that a resignation or replacement of the Security Agent shall only take effect upon:

| (iii) | the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the "Sharing Payment") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 33.6 (Partial payments).

Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 33.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and Clause 33.4 (Clawback and pre-funding) be made available by the Facility Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Facility Agent by not less than five (5) Business Days' notice with a bank specified by that Party.

33.3 | Distributions to an Obligor

The Facility Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 34 (Set-off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and 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.

33.4 | Clawback and pre-funding

a) | Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Facility 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) | Unless paragraph c) below applies, if the Facility Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Facility 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 Facility Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent, calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

c) | If the Facility Agent has notified the Lenders that it is willing to make available amounts for the account of a Borrower before receiving funds from the Lenders then if and to the extent that the Facility Agent does so but it proves to be the case that it does not then receive funds from a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to a Borrower:

106

| (ii) | the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if that Lender fails to do so, the Borrower to whom that sum was made available, shall on demand pay to the Facility Agent the amount (as certified by the Facility Agent) which will indemnify the Facility Agent against any funding cost incurred by it as a result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from that Lender.

33.5 | Application of enforcement proceeds by the Security Agent

a) | If the Security Agent receives in connection with enforcement a payment pursuant to the terms of any Finance Document or in connection with the realisation or enforcement of all or any part of the Transaction Security (for the purposes of this Clause 33.5, the "Recoveries"), the Security Agent shall hold such Recoveries separately from its own funds and apply them at any time as the Security Agent (in its discretion) sees fit, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the following order:

| (i) | first, in discharging any sums owing to the Security Agent or the ECA Agent;

| (ii) | secondly, in discharging all costs and expenses incurred by any Finance Party in connection with any realisation or enforcement of the Transaction Security taken in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Security Document;

| (ii) | hold, manage, exploit, collect and realise any amount of the Recoveries which is in the form of any consideration of realisation of the Transaction Security which is not in cash,

| in each case for so long as the Security Agent shall think fit for later application in accordance with paragraph a) above that the Security Agent reasonably considers, in each case, might become due or owing at any time in the future.

c) | For the purpose of, or pending the discharge of, any of the Secured Obligations the Security Agent may:

| (i) | convert any moneys received or recovered by the Security Agent from one currency to another, at the Security Agent's spot rate of exchange; and

107

| (ii) | notionally convert the valuation provided in any opinion or valuation from one currency to another, at the Security Agent's spot rate of exchange,

so that the obligations of any Obligor to pay in the due currency shall only be satisfied:

| (A) | in the case of sub-paragraph c)(i) above, to the extent of the amount of the due currency purchased after deducting the costs of conversion; and

| (B) | in the case of sub-paragraph c)(ii) above, to the extent of the amount of the due currency which results from the notional conversion referred to in that paragraph.

d) | The Security Agent shall be entitled, in its discretion, (i) to set aside by way of reserve amounts required to meet and (ii) to make and pay, any deductions and withholdings (on account of Taxes or otherwise) which it is or may be required by any law or regulation to make from any distribution or payment made by it under this Agreement, and to pay all Taxes which may be assessed against it in respect of any of the property which is subject to Transaction Security, or as a consequence of performing its duties or exercising its rights, powers, authorities and discretions, or by virtue of its capacity as Security Agent under any of the Finance Documents or otherwise (other than in connection with its remuneration for performing its duties under this Agreement).

33.6 | Partial payments

a) | If the Facility Agent receives a payment for application against amounts due in respect of any Finance Documents that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under those Finance Documents, the Facility 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 amount owing to the Facility Agent, the Security Agent and the ECA Agent under the Finance Documents;

| (ii) | secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under those Finance Documents;

| (iii) | thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under those Finance Documents; and
