  (ii)   impose on any Lender or Noteholder or the London interbank market any other condition affecting the Variable Funding Agreement or any Notes or any commitment or participation by that Lender or Noteholder thereunder;
    and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Noteholder of making of any funding available pursuant to the Variable

Page 69


 

    Funding Agreement or any Note or in holding any Note (or of maintaining its obligation to provide any funding pursuant to the Variable Funding Agreement or any Note or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Noteholder under any Transaction Document (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Parent, VEC and the Sellers will pay to such Lender or Noteholder, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Noteholder as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)   If any Lender or Noteholder determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Noteholder’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Noteholder’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of the Variable Funding Agreement or the Notes held by it, to a level below that which such Lender or Noteholder or such Lender’s or Noteholder’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Noteholder’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Noteholder’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Parent, VEC and the Sellers will pay to such Lender or Noteholder, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Noteholder or such Lender’s or Noteholder’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

Demand and payment
7.3 Any demand made by a Noteholder or Lender under Clause 7.1 or, as the case may be, Clause 7.2 shall be accompanied by a statement signed by a duly authorised signatory of such Noteholder or Lender, as the case may be giving (to the extent that such information is within its possession and knowledge and that disclosure of such information would not involve the breach of any duty of confidentiality owed by the Noteholder or the Lender, as the case may be, to any other person) reasonable particulars of:

Each amount certified by the Noteholder or, Lender, as the case may be, as being due under this Clause 7 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount so claimed.
7.4 Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Noteholder to demand any compensation pursuant to this Clause 7 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Noteholder’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Parent and the Sellers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or a Noteholder pursuant to Clause 7.1 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Noteholder, as the case may be, notifies the Parent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Noteholder’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

20. Increase of Variable Funding Facility Limit
20.1 At any time during the Securitisation Availability Period, the Parent may, by written notice (a Facility Increase Notice) to the Funding Agent (who shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) and the Collateral Monitoring Agent request an increase to the Variable Funding Facility Limit (the amount of any such increase being an Incremental Facility Amount) provided that both (A) at the time of such request and (B) upon the date upon which such increase is to come into effect:
(a)   no Master Purchaser Event of Default, Termination Event or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and not been waived;
 
(b)   the increase would not result in the Variable Funding Facility Limit being in excess of USD350,000,000.
Such Facility Increase Notice shall set out the requested Incremental Facility Amount and shall offer each Lender the opportunity to increase their respective Maximum Commitment Amount so as to provide a commitment in respect of a portion of the Incremental Facility Amount by giving written notice of their acceptance of such offered increased Maximum Commitment Amount to the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Funding Agent and the Parent within a time period (the Offer Period) to be specified in the Facility Increase Notice provided that no Lender will have any obligation to so agree to an increase in their Maximum Commitment Amount. In the event that at the end of the Offer Period, Lenders shall have agreed to increase their respective Maximum Commitment Amounts by an aggregate amount less than the Incremental Facility Amount requested by the Parent, the Parent may request that the Variable Funding Facility Limit be increased by such lesser amount and/or shall have the right to arrange for one or more banks or financial institutions approved by the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Funding Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) who are persons to whom Notes may be transferred in accordance with Condition 2) (any such bank or other financial institution being an Additional Lender) to agree to extend a commitment to provide funding pursuant to the Variable Funding Agreement with a Maximum Commitment Amount applicable to such Additional Lender being a portion of the amount by which the Incremented Facility Amount exceeds the aggregate amount by which Lenders have agreed to increase their respective Maximum Commitment Amounts in accordance with this Clause 20.1.
20.2 The increase in any Lender’s Maximum Commitment Amount agreed to pursuant to Clause 20.1 and the corresponding increase in the Variable Funding Facility Limit shall be conditional, and take effect, upon the execution by each of the Lenders who have agreed to increase their Maximum Commitment Amounts, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Security Trustee, the Funding Agent, the Parent and the Master Purchaser of an additional commitment agreement in a form satisfactory to the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Security Trustee and the agreed commitment of any Additional Lender and the corresponding increase in the Variable Funding Facility Limit shall be conditional, and take effect, upon the execution by that Additional Lender of deeds of adherence to each of this Deed (in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 6) and the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge (in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 2 to the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge) and the execution by such Lender of a Noteholder Accession Letter in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule 5 to the Variable Funding Agreement.

Page 93


 

20.3 Immediately following any increase in the Variable Funding Facility Limit, each Lender and Noteholder’s respective Commitment Proportion shall be recalculated as the fraction (expressed as a percentage) calculated by dividing (A) that Lender or Noteholder’s Maximum Commitment Amount (taking into account any increase in such amount agreed to in accordance with this Clause 20) by (B) the Variable Funding Facility Limit (taking into account any increase in such amount agreed to in accordance with this Clause 20).
20.4 Upon any Additional Lender becoming party to the Variable Funding Agreement in accordance with this Clause 20, the Master Purchaser agrees that it shall on the Settlement Date following the date upon which the Additional Lender becomes party to each of the Variable Funding Agreement, the Master Purchaser Deed of Charge and the Framework Deed it shall issue to such Additional Lender a Note in each Agreed Currency each with a par value equal to the Further Subscription Price stated to be payable by that Additional Lender in the Further Funding Request relating to such Settlement Date calculated by reference to that Additional Lender’s Commitment Proportion of the total funding to be made available in that Agreed Currency and the Commitment Proportion of all other Lenders (as recalculated pursuant to Clause 20.3) provided that the Further Subscription Price so payable by any Additional Lender shall not be less than USD1,000 in respect of the USD Note issued to that Additional Lender, EUR1,000 in respect of the EUR Note issued to that Additional Lender and GBP1,000 in respect of the GBP Note issued to that Additional Lender. The Notes issued pursuant to this Clause 20.4 shall rank pari passu with and have the same terms as all other Notes issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Variable Funding Agreement.
20.5 In order to induce any Additional Lenders to provide a commitment to fund or to induce any Lenders to increase their respective Maximum Commitment Amount in accordance with this Clause 20, the Parent may give notice to the Funding Agent, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Master Purchaser (copied to the Lenders) of its intention to increase the interest rate applicable to the Notes which notice shall specify the rate of interest that shall accrue in respect of Notes in each Agreed Currency and with effect from the relevant effective date set out in any such notice, the Reference Rate for all Notes shall be such increased for Notes of the relevant agreed Currency rate as set out in such notice.
20.6 All costs, fees (including legal fees) and expenses of any party in connection with any increase in the Variable Funding Facility Limit made in accordance with this Clause 20 (including without limitation in connection with the preparation of any additional commitment agreement) shall be for the account of the Parent.
20.7 For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 20 shall result in any Lender having an obligation to make a payment in respect of Initial Subscription Price or Further Subscription Price in circumstances where the conditions set out in Clause 4.2 of the Variable Funding Agreement are not satisfied on the date on which the payment of the Initial Subscription Price or the Further Subscription Price is to be made.
20.8 Each of the Master Purchaser, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Funding Agent, the Parent and the Security Trustee agree that they shall execute and deliver such documents as are necessary to give effect to any increase in the Variable Funding Facility Limit, any increase in any Lender’s Maximum Commitment Amount and/or the adherence of any Additional Lender to the Variable Funding Agreement, the Master

Page 94


 

Purchaser Deed of Charge and/or the Framework Deed in each case in accordance with this Clause 20. Each of the Lenders (in respect of the Collateral Monitoring Agent and the Funding Agent) and each of the Master Purchaser Secured Creditors (in respect of the Security Trustee and the Master Purchaser) consent to and authorise the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Funding Agent, the Security Trustee and the Master Purchaser to enter into such documentation without recourse to such Lender or Master Purchaser Secured Creditor (as the case may be) and none of the Master Purchaser, the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the Funding Agent nor the Security Trustee shall be liable to any Lender, Noteholder or Master Purchaser Secured Creditor or to any other person for any consent given or any act (or omission) in accordance with this Clause 20.
21. Cash Flow Management
21.1 Each of the Sellers, the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider, the Master Purchaser and the Security Trustee hereby agree that on any day during the Securitisation Availability Period:
(a)   a Seller may apply sums then due to it in a particular Agreed Currency (the Applicable Currency) from the Master Purchaser in respect of Purchase Price against amounts to be paid by it in the Applicable Currency on such day (whether by advance of a loan, repayment of amounts owed by the Seller to the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider or otherwise);
(b)   if a Seller, on any day, elects to exercise its right under Clause 1(a) by giving (or by the Master Servicer giving on its behalf) notice thereof in advance to the Master Purchaser, the Security Trustee, the MP Cash Manager and the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider, the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider shall apply the amounts referred to in (a) above to be paid to it by that Seller on such day against any Further Subordinated Advance to be made by it in the Applicable Currency on such day to the Master Purchaser pursuant to Clause 5 of the Subordinated VLN Facility Agreement; and
(c)   upon exercise of the right of a Seller under paragraph (a) above, the obligation of the Master Purchaser to pay any amount of Purchase Price due to that Seller on such day in the Applicable Currency pursuant to the Master Receivables Purchase and Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to be satisfied to the extent of an amount equal to the amount payable on that day by the Seller to the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider without any requirement for cash movements from the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider to the Master Purchaser, from the Master Purchaser to the relevant Seller and from the relevant Seller to the Subordinated VLN Facility Provider.
21.2 Each of VEC, VC and the Master Purchaser agrees, and the Security Trustee hereby acknowledges, that on any day during the Securitisation Availability Period:
(a)   the Master Purchaser shall apply the sums due to it in a particular Agreed Currency (the Applicable Currency) from VEC in respect of Collections against amounts to be paid by it in the Applicable Currency on such day to VC in respect of the Purchase Price (subject to Clause 21.4 below) or the Advance Purchase Price pursuant to Clause 3.6 of the Master Receivables Purchase and Servicing Agreement;

Page 95


 

(b)   VC shall apply the amounts referred to in paragraph (a) above to be paid to it by the Master Purchaser on such date against any VC Purchase Price (subject to Clause 21.5 below) or the VC Advance Purchase Price to be paid by it in the Applicable Currency on such day to VEC pursuant to Clause 3.6 of the VC Receivables Purchase Agreement;
(c)   upon the application of amounts in accordance with paragraph (a) above, the obligation of VEC to pay any amount of Collections due to the Master Purchaser on such date in the Applicable Currency pursuant to the Master Receivables Purchase and Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to be satisfied to the extent of an amount equal to the amount payable on that date by the Master Purchaser to VC without any requirement for cash movement from VC to VEC, from VEC to the Master Purchaser and from the Master Purchaser to VC;
21.3
(a)   To the extent the Collections received by VEC into the relevant Deposit Account of VEC are not sufficient for the purposes set out in Clause 21.2 above:
  (i)   the Master Purchaser shall, subject to Clause 21.4, pay VC the Purchase Price (or, if applicable, the Advance Purchase Price) in the relevant Applicable Currency; and
 
  (ii)   VC shall, subject to Clause 21.5 pay VEC the VC Purchase Price (or, if applicable, the VC Advance Purchase Price) in the Applicable Currency,
  on the Settlement Date immediately following the end of the Determination Period in which the Purchase Date for such Purchased Receivables falls.
(b)   In order to better ensure a swift and efficient settlement of the Purchase Price in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) and the VC Purchase Price in accordance with (a)(ii), the Master Purchaser shall transfer to the VEC Account (or such other account as is nominated by VEC) on the Settlement Date immediately following the end of the Determination Period in which the Purchase Date for such Purchased Receivables falls, an amount equal to that amount required to be transferred in accordance with paragraph (a)(ii) above. Each of VEC, VC and the Master Purchaser agrees, and the Security Trustee acknowledges, that the transfer of such amount to VEC shall discharge pro tanto the obligations set out under paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above.
21.4 The Master Purchaser and VC hereby agree that on each day an account shall be taken of the amount due by the Master Purchaser to VC under Clause 3.1 of the Master Receivables Purchase and Servicing Agreement in respect of the Purchase Price in the relevant Agreed Currency and the amount due by VC to the Master Purchaser under the VC Subordinated VLN Facility Agreement in such Agreed Currency, and the amount due from one party shall be set-off against the amount due from the other and only the balance of the account shall be payable (by the party

Page 96


 

having the claim for the lower amount pursuant to the foregoing) and such balance shall be due and payable by such party on such day.
21.5 VEC and VC hereby agree that on each day an account shall be taken of the amount due by VC to VEC under Clause 3.1 of the VC Receivables Purchase Agreement in respect of the VC Purchase Price in the relevant Agreed Currency and the amount due by VEC to VC in respect of any capital contribution in such Agreed Currency, and the amount due from one party shall be set-off against the amount due from the other and only the balance of the account shall be payable (by the party having the claim for the lower amount pursuant to the foregoing) and such balance shall be due and payable by such party on such day.
