(g)	Upon its resignation becoming effective, this Clause will continue to benefit the retiring Facility Agent in respect of any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Finance Documents while it was the Facility Agent, and, subject to paragraph (f) above, it will have no further obligations under any Finance Document.

	If the Facility Agent requires, any amount payable to the Facility Agent by any Party under any indemnity or in respect of any costs or expenses incurred by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents after the date of this Agreement may include the cost of using its management time or other resources and will be calculated on the basis of such reasonable daily or hourly rates as the Facility Agent may notify to the relevant Party.

	(b)	are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general law; and

Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right is not a waiver of that right.

27.	CHANGES TO THE PARTIES

27.1	Assignments and transfers by Obligors

	No Obligor may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents without the prior consent of all the Lenders.

27.2	Assignments and transfers by Lenders

(a)	A Lender (the Existing Lender) may, subject to the following provisions of this Subclause, at any time assign or transfer (including by way of novation) any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other bank (the New Lender).

(b)	The consent of the Borrower and the Guarantor is required for any assignment or transfer unless the New Lender is another Lender or (if a bank) an Affiliate of a Lender or an Event of Default is outstanding. The consent of the Borrower and the Guarantor must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Borrower and the Guarantor will be deemed to have given its consent ten Business Days after the Borrower and the Guarantor are given notice of the request unless it is expressly refused by the Borrower and the Guarantor within that time.

(c)	Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor may withhold its consent solely because the assignment or transfer might increase the Mandatory Cost.

(d)	The Facility Agent is not obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate until it has completed all know your customer requirements to its satisfaction. The Facility Agent must promptly notify the Existing Lender and the New Lender if there are any such requirements.

(e)	A transfer of obligations will be effective only if either:

	(i)	the obligations are novated in accordance with the following provisions of this Clause; or

	(ii)	the New Lender confirms to the Facility Agent and the Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent that it is bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender. On the transfer becoming effective in this manner the Existing Lender will be released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that they are transferred to the New Lender.

(f)	Any reference in this Agreement to a Lender includes a New Lender but excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this Agreement.

27.3	Assignment or transfer fee

	The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of £1,000.

27.4	Procedure for transfer by way of novations

(a)	In this Subclause:

	Transfer Date means, for a Transfer Certificate, the later of:

(i)

the proposed Transfer Date specified in that Transfer Certificate; and

(ii)

the date on which the Facility Agent executes that Transfer Certificate.

(b)	A novation is effected if:

	(i)	the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Facility Agent a duly completed Transfer Certificate; and

	(ii)	the Facility Agent executes it.

	The Facility Agent must execute as soon as reasonably practicable a Transfer Certificate delivered to it and which appears on its face to be in order.

(c)	Each Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to execute any duly completed Transfer Certificate on its behalf.

(d)	On the Transfer Date:

	(i)	the New Lender will assume the rights and obligations of the Existing Lender expressed to be the subject of the novation in the Transfer Certificate in substitution for the Existing Lender; and

	(ii)	the Existing Lender will be released from those obligations and cease to have those rights.

(e)	The Facility Agent must, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, send to the Borrower a copy of that Transfer Certificate.

27.5	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lender

(a)	Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender is not responsible to a New Lender for the legality, validity, adequacy, accuracy, completeness or performance of:

	(i)	any Finance Document or any other document; or

	(ii)	any statement or information (whether written or oral) made in or supplied in connection with any Finance Document,

	and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

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

	(i)	has made, and will continue to make, its own independent appraisal of all risks arising under or in connection with the Finance Documents (including the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities and the nature and extent of any recourse against any Party or its assets) in connection with its participation in this Agreement; and

	(ii)	has not relied exclusively on any information supplied to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document.

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

(i)

accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause; or

(ii)

support any losses incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under any Finance Document or otherwise.

27.6	Costs resulting from change of Lender or Facility Office

	If:

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

	(b)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to pay a Tax Payment or an Increased Cost,

	then, unless the assignment, transfer or change is made by a Lender to mitigate any circumstance giving rise to the Tax Payment, an Increased Cost or a right to be prepaid and/or cancelled by reason of illegality, the Obligor need only pay that Tax Payment or Increased Cost to the same extent that it would have been obliged to if no assignment, transfer or change had occurred.

27.7	Changes to the 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 Facility Agent must (in consultation with the Borrower) appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank.

28.	DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

(a)	Each Finance Party must keep confidential any information supplied to it by or on behalf of any Obligor in connection with the Finance Documents. However, a Finance Party is entitled to disclose information:

	(i)	which is publicly available, other than as a result of a breach by that Finance Party of this Clause;

	(ii)	in connection with any legal or arbitration proceedings;

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

	(iv)	to a governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory authority;

	(v)	to its professional advisers;

	(vi)	to the extent allowed under paragraph (b) below;

	(vii)	to another Obligor; or

	(viii)	with the agreement of the relevant Obligor.

(b)	A Finance Party may disclose to an Affiliate or any person with whom it may enter, or has entered into, any kind of transfer, participation or other agreement in relation to this Agreement (a participant):

(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 participant may receive any confidential information, it must agree with the relevant Finance Party to keep that information confidential on the terms of paragraph (a) above.

(c)	This Clause supersedes any previous confidentiality undertaking given by a Finance Party in connection with this Agreement prior to it becoming a Party.

29.	SET-OFF

	Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, a Finance Party may set off any matured obligation owed to it by an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any obligation (whether or not matured) 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.

30.	PRO RATA SHARING

30.1	Redistribution

	If any amount owing by an Obligor under this Agreement to a Lender (the recovering Lender) is discharged by payment, set-off or any other manner other than through the Facility Agent under this Agreement (a recovery), then:

	(a)	the recovering Lender must, within three Business Days, supply details of the recovery to the Facility Agent;

	(b)	the Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Lender would have received if the recovery had been received and distributed by the Facility Agent under this Agreement; and

	(c)	the recovering Lender must pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the excess (the redistribution).

30.2	Effect of redistribution

(a)	The Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment by the relevant Obligor under this Agreement and distribute it among the Lenders, other than the recovering Lender, accordingly.

(b)	When the Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the recovering Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in that redistribution.

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

(d)	If:

	(i)	a recovering Lender must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to an Obligor; and

	(ii)	the recovering Lender has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery,

	each Finance Party must reimburse the recovering Lender all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party, together with interest for the period while it held the redistribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement.

30.3	Exceptions

	Notwithstanding any other term of this Clause, a recovering Lender need not pay a redistribution to the extent that:

	(a)	it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the relevant Obligor in the amount of the redistribution; or

	(b)	it would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which the recovering Lender has received or recovered as a result of legal or arbitration proceedings, where:

	(i)	the recovering Lender notified the Facility Agent of those proceedings; and

	(ii)	the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of them.

31.	SEVERABILITY

	If a term of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that will not affect:

	(a)	the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other term of the Finance Documents; or

	(b)	the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other term of the Finance Documents.

32.	COUNTERPARTS

SCHEDULE 4

CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST

1.	General

(a)	The Mandatory Cost is to compensate a Lender for the cost of compliance with:

	(i)	the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces any of its functions); or

	(ii)	the requirements of the European Central Bank.

(b)	The Mandatory Cost is expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

(c)	The Mandatory Cost is the weighted average (weighted in proportion to the percentage share of each Lender in the relevant Loan) of the rates for the Lenders calculated by the Facility Agent in accordance with this Schedule on the first day of a Term (or as soon as possible after then).

(d)	The Facility Agent must distribute each amount of Mandatory Cost among the Lenders on the basis of the rate for each Lender.

(e)	Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on all the Parties.

2.	For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K.

(a)	The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. is calculated in accordance with the following formula:


		AB + C(B – D) + E x 0.01
				per cent. per annum
		100 – (A + C)

where on the day of application of the formula:

	A	is the percentage of that Lender’s eligible liabilities (in excess of any stated minimum) which the Bank of England requires it to hold on a non-interest-bearing deposit account in accordance with its cash ratio requirements;

	B	is the percentage rate of LIBOR for the relevant Term;

	C	is the percentage (if any) of that Lender’s eligible liabilities which the Bank of England requires it to place as an interest bearing special deposit;

	D	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England on interest bearing special deposits; and

	E	is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the rates of charge under the fees rules supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent under paragraph (d) below and expressed in pounds per £1 million.

(b)	For the purposes of this paragraph 2:

	(i)	eligible liabilities and special deposit(s) have the meanings given to them at the time of application of the formula pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1988 or (as appropriate) by the Bank of England;

	(ii)	fees rules means the then current rules on periodic fees in the Supervision Manual of the FSA Handbook or any other law or regulation as may then be in force for the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

	(iii)	fee tariffs means the fee tariffs specified in the fees rules under fee-block Category A1 (Deposit acceptors) ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the fees rules but applying any applicable discount rate); and

	(iv)	tariff base has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the fees rules.

(c)	(i)	In the application of the formula, A, B, C and D are included as figures and not as percentages, e.g. if A = 0.5% and B = 15%, AB is calculated as 0.5 x 15. A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B is taken as zero.

	(ii)	Each rate calculated in accordance with the formula is, if necessary, rounded upward to four decimal places.

(d)	If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank must, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority under the fees rules for that financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated by that Reference Bank as being the average of the fee tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1 million of the tariff base of that Reference Bank.

(e)	Each Lender must supply to the Facility Agent the information required by it to make a calculation of the rate for that Lender. In particular, each Lender must supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

	(i)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

	(ii)	any other information that the Facility Agent reasonably requires for that purpose.

	Each Lender must promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the information supplied to it under this paragraph.

(f)	The percentages of each Lender for the purposes of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above are determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it under paragraphs (d) and (e) above. Unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, the Facility Agent may assume that the Lender’s obligations in respect of cash ratio deposits and special deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the U.K.

(g)	The Facility Agent has no liability to any Party if its calculation over or under compensates any Lender. The Facility Agent is entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank under this Schedule is true and correct in all respects.

3.	For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State

(a)	The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State is the percentage rate per annum notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage rate per annum must be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent as its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s share in all Loans made from that Facility Office) complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that Facility Office.

(b)	If a Lender fails to specify a rate under paragraph (a) above, the Facility Agent will assume that the Lender has not incurred any such cost.

4.	Changes

(a)	The Facility Agent may, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Schedule which is required to reflect:

	(i)	any change in law or regulation; or

	(ii)	any requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any successor authority).

(b)

If the Facility Agent, after consultation with the Borrower, determines that the Mandatory Cost for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. can be calculated by reference to a screen, the Facility Agent may notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Agreement which is required to reflect this.
