General

In this Clause:

The Proportion of a Lender means the proportion borne by:

(i)

its Revolving Credit Commitment (or, if the Total Revolving Credit Commitments are then zero, its Revolving Credit Commitment immediately prior to their reduction to zero) minus the euro amount of its participation (or that of a Lender which is its Affiliate) in any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (but ignoring its (or its Affiliate’s) participation in the relevant unpaid Swingline Loan); to

(ii)

the Total Revolving Credit Commitments (or, if the Total Revolving Credit Commitments are then zero, the Total Revolving Credit Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) minus any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (but ignoring the relevant unpaid Swingline Loan).

The Shortfall of a Swingline Lender is an amount equal to its Unpaid Swingline Participation minus its (or its Affiliate’s) Proportion of the Unpaid Amount.

The Unpaid Swingline Participation of a Lender means that part of the Unpaid Amount (if any) owed to that Lender (or its Affiliate) (before any re-distribution under Clause 7.2 (Repayment)).

(b)

If a Swingline Loan is not repaid in full on its due date, the relevant Swingline Facility Agent shall (if requested to do so in writing by any affected Swingline Lender) set a date (the Loss Sharing Date) on which payments shall be made between the Lenders to re-distribute the unpaid amount between them. The relevant Swingline Facility Agent shall give at least 3 Business Days notice to each affected Lender of the Loss Sharing Date and notify it of the amounts to be paid or received by it.

(c)	On the Loss Sharing Date each Lender must pay to the relevant Swingline Facility Agent its Proportion of the Unpaid Amount minus its (or its Affiliate’s) Unpaid Swingline Participation (if any). If this produces a negative figure for a Lender no amount need be paid by that Lender.

(d)	Out of the funds received by the relevant Swingline Facility Agent pursuant to sub-clause (c) that Swingline Facility Agent shall pay to each Swingline Lender (as applicable) an amount equal to the Shortfall (if any) of that Swingline Lender.

(e)

If the amount actually received by the relevant Swingline Facility Agent from the Lenders is insufficient to pay the full amount of the Shortfall of all Swingline Lenders (as applicable) then the amount actually received will be distributed amongst the Swingline Lenders (as applicable) pro rata to the Shortfall of each of those Swingline Lender.


(f)		(i)		On a payment under this paragraph, the paying Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Swingline Lenders which have shared in the payment received.

(b)	For this purpose, Federal Funds Rate means in relation to any day, the rate per annum equal to:

(i)

(ii)

if a rate is not published for that day or the preceding day, the average of the quotations for that day on those transactions received by the Facility Agent from three Federal funds brokers of recognised standing selected by the Facility Agent.

(a)

Margin;

(b)

IBOR; and

(c)

Mandatory Cost (if any).

11.2

Payment of interest

Except where it is provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each Borrower must pay accrued interest on each Loan made to it on the last day of each Term and also, if the Term is longer than six months, on the dates falling at six-monthly intervals after the first day of that Term.

11.3

Margin adjustments - Revolving Credit Loans

(a)	This Subclause applies to all Loans other than Swingline Loans.

(b)	Subject to the other provisions of this Subclause, the Margin will be calculated by reference to the table below:


Column 1 Long-term credit ratings of the Company		Column 2 Margin (per cent. per annum)
Moody’s	S&P
A1 or above	A+ or above	0.15
Lower than A1 but at least A2	Lower than A+ but at least A	0.2
Lower than A2 but at least A3	Lower than A but at least A-	0.25
Lower than A3 but at least Baa1	Lower than A- but at least BBB+	0.35
Baa2 and below	BBB and below	0.45

(c)

The Company must notify the Facility Agent of any notification to it by a Rating Agency of a change in its long-term credit rating. If the long-term credit rating(s) given to the Company by any Rating Agency is such that a different Margin is applicable to each long-term credit rating, the applicable Margin will be (if the difference between the two long-term credit ratings is of one level) based on the higher long-term credit rating.

(d)	In the event that the long-term credit rating(s) given to the Company by any Rating Agency are different by more than one long-term credit rating, the applicable Margin will be the Margin corresponding to the long-term credit rating immediately below the higher of the two ratings.

(e)	Any change in the Margin will, subject to paragraph (f) below, apply to each Loan made, or (if outstanding) from the next Business Day, after the date of notification by the Company of the change in long-term credit rating.

(f)	For so long as:

(i)

the Company is in default of its obligations under this Agreement to notify the Facility Agent of any change in its long-term credit rating under paragraph (c) above; or

(ii)

an Event of Default is outstanding,

the Margin will be the highest applicable rate, being 0.45 per cent. per annum.

11.4

Margin – Swingline Loans

(a)	This Subclause applies to all Loans other than Revolving Credit Loans.

(b)	The Margin is 0.5 per cent. per annum.

11.5

Interest on overdue amounts

(a)	If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Finance Documents, it must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent pay interest on the overdue amount from its due date up to the date of actual payment, both before, on and after judgment.

(b)

Interest on an overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be one per cent. per annum above the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount. For this purpose, the Facility Agent may (acting reasonably):

(i)

select successive Terms of any duration of up to three months; and

(ii)

determine the appropriate Rate Fixing Day for that Term.

(c)	Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, if the overdue amount is a principal amount of a Loan and becomes due and payable before the last day of its current Term, then:

(i)

the first Term for that overdue amount will be the unexpired portion of that Term; and

(ii)

the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first Term will be one per cent. per annum above the rate then payable on that Loan.

After the expiry of the first Term for that overdue amount, the rate on the overdue amount will be calculated in accordance with paragraph (b) above.

(d)	Interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded with that overdue amount at the end of each of its Terms but will remain immediately due and payable.

11.6

13.2

Market disruption

(a)	In this Clause, each of the following events is a market disruption event:

(i)

(b)	The Facility Agent must promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of a market disruption event.

(c)	After notification under paragraph (b) above, the rate of interest on each Lender’s share in the affected Loan for the relevant Term will be the aggregate of the applicable:

rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Term, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its share in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and

(iii)

Mandatory Cost (if any).

13.3

Alternative basis of interest or funding

(a)

If a market disruption event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Company so requires, the Company and the Facility Agent must enter into negotiations for a period of not more than 30 days with a view to agreeing an alternative basis for determining the rate of interest and/or funding for the affected Loan.

Treaty Lender means, a Lender which is treated as a resident of a Treaty State for the purposes of a Treaty and does not carry on a business in Ireland through a permanent establishment with which that Lender’s participation in the Agreement is effectively connected that subject to the completion procedural formalities is entitled to relief from Irish tax on interest under that Treaty.

14.2

Tax gross-up and tax indemnity

(a)

Any and all payments by any Obligor to or for the account of any Lender or the Facility Agent under this Agreement or any other Finance Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Facility Agent:

(i)

taxes imposed on its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) is organised or in which its principal office is located or any political subdivision thereof;

(b)	If any Obligor is required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any of the other Finance Documents or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder to any Lender or the Facility Agent:

(i)

the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Clause) such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made;

(ii)

such Obligor shall make such deductions; and

(iii)

such Obligor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)

In addition, the Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of and shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or any other Finance Document or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Finance Document or any other documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder (hereinafter referred to as Other Taxes).

(d)

The Obligors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Lender and the Facility Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Clause) imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(e)

Within 30 days of the date of any payment of Taxes, the Obligors shall furnish to the Facility Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent.

(f)

Each Lender and Facility Agent organised under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Original Lender and original Facility Agent and on the Transfer Date (as defined in Clause 30.6 (Procedure for transfer using a Transfer Certificate)) pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and with respect to a successor Facility Agent, on the date of appointment of such successor pursuant to Clause 24.15 (Resignation of the Facility Agent), and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Obligors (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Facility Agent and the Obligors with documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by any Obligor or Facility Agent as will enable the Obligors and Facility Agent to determine whether the Lender or Facility Agent (as applicable) is subject to tax withholding, back-up tax withholding, or tax information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender and Facility Agent shall provide each of the Facility Agent and any Obligor that is a United States person with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-9, W-8IMY, W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying whether such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax on payment of interest (but not in respect of any Commitment Fee) at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the Transfer Date pursuant to which a New Lender (as defined in Clause 30.2 (Assignments and transfers by Lenders)) becomes a party to this Agreement, the Existing Lender (as defined in Clause 30.2 (Assignments and transfers by Lenders)) was entitled to payments under paragraphs (a) and (b) above in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the New Lender on such date. If any form or document referred to in this

paragraph (f) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-9, W-8IMY, W-8BEN or W-8ECI, that the Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Obligors and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. For purposes of this paragraph (f), the terms United States and United States person shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(g)

For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Obligors with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in paragraph (f) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under paragraph (f) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under paragraphs (a), (b) or (d) above with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States of America by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Obligors shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.

14.3

Qualifying Lender

An Obligor is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up and tax indemnity) for any deduction as set out therein in respect of tax imposed in Ireland from a payment of interest under this Agreement, if on the date on which the payment falls due the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without such deduction if it was a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority.

14.4

Value added taxes

(a)

Any amount payable under a Finance Document by an Obligor is exclusive of any VAT which might be chargeable in connection with that amount. If any such Tax is chargeable, the Obligor must pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying that amount) an amount equal to the amount of that Tax.

(b)

If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier) to any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any Party (the Relevant Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Party shall also pay to the Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

(c)

Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Party must also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of those costs or expenses but only to the extent that the Finance Party (acting reasonably) determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the Tax.

15.

INCREASED COSTS

15.1

Increased Costs

Except as provided below in this Clause, the Company must pay to a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Cost incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of:

(a)

the introduction of, or any change in, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application of, any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement; or

(b)

compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement.

15.2

Exceptions

The Company need not make any payment for an Increased Cost to the extent that the Increased Cost is:

attributable to changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income or franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof by the United States of America or by the jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Finance Party is organised or has its Facility Office or where its principal office is located, or results from Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Clause 14.2 (Tax gross-up and tax indemnity) shall govern);

(c)

attributable to a Finance Party or its Affiliate wilfully failing to comply with any law or regulation; or

(d)

attributable to the implementation or application of or compliance with the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, a Revised Framework” published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004 in the form existing on the date of this Agreement (Basel II) or any other law or regulation which implements Basel II (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Finance Party or any of its Affiliates).

15.3

Claims

(a)	A Finance Party intending to make a claim for an Increased Cost must notify the Facility Agent of the circumstances giving rise to and the amount of the claim, following which the Facility Agent will promptly notify the Company.

(b)	Each Finance Party must, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Facility Agent (on the instructions of the Company), provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Cost.

16.

16.1

Mitigation

(iii)

that Finance Party incurring any cost of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank,

including transferring its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents to an Affiliate or changing its Facility Office.

(b)	Paragraph (a) above does not in any way limit the obligations of any Obligor under the Finance Documents.

(c)	The Company must indemnify each Finance Party for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by that Finance Party as a result of any step taken by it under this Subclause.

(d)	A Finance Party is not obliged to take any step under this Subclause if, in the opinion of that Finance Party (acting reasonably), to do so might be prejudicial to it.

16.2

Conduct of business by a Finance Party

No term of any Finance Document will:

(a)

interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (Tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;

(b)

oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it in respect of Tax or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or

oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (Tax or otherwise) or any computation in respect of Tax.

Where a sum is paid to the Facility Agent under this Agreement for another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that Party until it has established that it has actually received it. However, the Facility Agent may assume that the sum has been paid to it, and, in reliance on that assumption, make available to that Party a corresponding amount. If it transpires that the sum has not been received by the Facility Agent, that Party must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent refund any corresponding amount made available to it together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent at a rate calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

(b)	During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal under this Agreement interest is payable on that principal at the rate payable on the original due date.

17.7

(iv)

must notify the Finance Parties of any changes agreed under this Subclause.

(b)	Any agreement between the Facility Agent and the Company will be, (whether or not it is finally determined that a Disruption Event has occurred), binding on the Parties notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 29 (Amendments and waivers).

(c)

18.1

Guarantee and indemnity

The Company irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)

guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Borrower of all its obligations under the Finance Documents;

(b)

undertakes with each Finance Party that, whenever a Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, the Company must immediately on demand by the Facility Agent pay that amount as if it were the principal obligor in respect of that amount; and

(c)

agrees with each Finance Party that if, for any reason, any amount claimed by a Finance Party under this Clause is not recoverable from the Company on the basis of a guarantee (including, without limitation, any liability and all obligations under the Finance Documents that would be owed by the Company and any other Borrower to an Administrative Party but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganisation or similar proceeding involving such a Borrower) then the Company will be liable as a principal debtor and primary obligor to indemnify that Finance Party in respect of any loss it incurs as a result of a Borrower failing to pay any amount expressed to be payable by it under a Finance Document on the date when it ought to have been paid. The amount payable by the Company under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause had the amount claimed been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

Continuing guarantee

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

18.3

Reinstatement

(a)

If any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of any Borrower or any security for those obligations or otherwise) or arrangement is made in whole or in part on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored on insolvency, liquidation, administration, examination or to be reinstated or otherwise without limitation, the liability of the Company under this Clause will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge or arrangement had not occurred.

(b)	Each Finance Party may concede or compromise any claim that any payment, security or other disposition is liable to avoidance or restoration.

18.4

Waiver of defences

The obligations of the Company under this Clause will not be affected by any act, omission or thing (whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) which, but for this provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause. This includes:

(a)

any time or waiver granted to, or composition with, any person;

(b)

any release of any person under the terms of any composition or arrangement;

(c)

the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any person;

(d)

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;

(e)

any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any person;

(f)

any amendment of a Finance Document or any other document or security;

(g)

any unenforceability, illegality, invalidity or non-provability of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security; or

(h)

any insolvency or similar proceedings.

18.5

Immediate recourse

(a)	The Company 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 right or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Company under this Clause.

(b)	This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

Appropriations

(a)		(i)						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) against those amounts; or

(ii)

apply and enforce them in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise); and

(b)

hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Company or on account of the Company’s liability under this Clause.

18.7

Non-competition

Unless:

(a)

all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrowers under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full; or

(b)

the Facility Agent otherwise directs,

the Company will not, after a claim has been made or by virtue of any payment or performance by it under this Clause:

(i)

be subrogated to any rights, security or moneys held, received or receivable by any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf);

(ii)

be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity in respect of any payment made or moneys received on account of the Company’s liability under this Clause;

(iii)

claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of any Borrower or its estate in competition with any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf); or

(iv)

receive, claim or have the benefit of any payment, distribution or security from or on account of any Borrower, or exercise any right of set-off as against any Borrower.

The Company must hold in trust for and immediately pay or transfer to the Facility Agent for the Finance Parties any payment or distribution or benefit of security received by it contrary to this Clause or in accordance with any directions given by the Facility Agent under this Clause.

assign any of its rights; or

30.3

Conditions to assignment and transfer – consents

(a)

The consent of the Company is required for any assignment or transfer unless the New Lender is another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Event of Default is outstanding.

The Company will be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the Company is given notice of the request unless it is expressly refused by the Company within that time.

(b)	The Company may not withhold its consent solely because the assignment or transfer might increase the Mandatory Cost.

(c)	The parties to each such assignment or transfer must execute and deliver to the Facility Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined in Clause 30.4 (Other conditions to assignment or transfer)), a Transfer Certificate.

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Obligors or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

The Facility Agent is not obliged to enter into a Transfer Certificate or otherwise give effect to an assignment or transfer 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.

(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.

30.5

Procedure for assignment of rights

An assignment of rights will only be effective on receipt by the Facility Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent) that the New Lender will, in relation to the assigned rights, assume obligations to the other Finance Parties equivalent to those it would have been under if it had been an Original Lender.

(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;

the Existing Lender will be released from those obligations and cease to have those rights; and

(iii)

the New Lender will become a Lender under this Agreement and be bound by the terms of this Agreement as Lender.

(d)	The Facility Agent must enter into a Transfer Certificate delivered to it and which appears on its face to be in order as soon as reasonably practicable and, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has entered into a Transfer Certificate, send a copy of that Transfer Certificate to the Company.

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

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,

30.9

Additional Borrowers

it is aware that a Default is outstanding or would result from the acceptance of the Resignation Request; or

the recovering Finance Party must pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the excess (the redistribution).

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

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.
