Third party rights

Amendment and Restatement of the Original Facility Agreement

Acknowledgment and confirmation

an amount of US$30,000,000 is outstanding under the Tranche A Facility (“Rollover Loan”) as at the date of this Agreement; and

an irrevocable deemed request (“Deemed Request”) will be given in respect of the Rollover Loan for the first rollover such that a Request in the form of Schedule 3 (“Form of Request”) will not be required, and the Facility Agent shall, in acting under this Agreement, treat such Deemed Request as if it is a Request.

Joint and several liability

FACILITIES

Tranche A Facility

L/C Facility

Increase to Total Tranche A Commitments

The Borrowers may, by written notice to the Facility Agent, request that the Total Tranche A Commitments be increased by a maximum aggregate amount of US$50,000,000 (“Increased Commitment”).

The Increased Commitment shall be assumed by one or more of the Lenders each of which confirms in writing in its absolute discretion (“Increase Confirmation”) its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that part of the Increased Commitment which it is to assume.

For the avoidance of doubt, a Lender has the sole discretion (which shall not be withheld unreasonably) on whether to accept such request and the date the Increased Commitment shall take effect, taking into account the prevailing market conditions on or around the date on which the written request in Clause 2.3(a) is provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers. If no Lender provides an Increase Confirmation, the request for the Increased Commitment shall be deemed lapsed after ten Business Days of the service of such request to the Facility Agent.

No Borrower may request an increase to the Total Tranche A Commitments on or after the day falling three calendar months before the Final Maturity Date.

Nature of a Finance Party’s rights and obligations

the obligations of a Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several;

failure by a Finance Party to perform its obligations does not affect the obligations of any other person under the Finance Documents;

no Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents;

the rights of a Finance Party under the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights;

a Finance Party may, except as otherwise stated in the Finance Documents, separately enforce those rights; and

a debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party is a separate and independent debt.

PURPOSE

The Facility

towards financing the Group’s working capital and capital investment requirements and for the Group’s general corporate purposes (including the payment of intercompany debt in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations); and

towards supporting Letters of Credit.

No obligation to monitor

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

Initial Conditions precedent documents

A Lender will only be obliged to comply with Clause 5.3 (Advance of Loan) in relation to a Loan if on or before the Utilisation Date for that Loan, the Facility Agent has received (or waived receipt of) all of the documents and evidence listed in and appearing to comply with Part 1 (To be delivered before the first Request) of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent Documents) or Part 1B (To be delivered before the drawdown of the rollover loan under the Deemed Request) of Schedule 2 (Conditions Precedent Documents) (as applicable). The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and each Lender promptly upon receiving such documents and evidence.

Other than to the extent that the Majority Lenders notify the Facility Agent in writing to the contrary before the Facility Agent gives the notification described in paragraph (a) above, the Lenders authorise (but do not require) the Facility Agent to give that notification. The Facility Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever as a result of giving any such notification.

Further conditions precedent

on both the date of the Request and the Utilisation Date for that Credit:

the Repeating Representations are correct in all material respects; and

no Default or, in the case of a Rollover Loan, no Event of Default is outstanding or would result from such Credit; and

after giving effect to the funding of the proposed Credit and any repayments of a Credit on the relevant Utilisation Date from the proceeds of the proposed Credit, the aggregate amount outstanding under the Facility will not exceed the Available ABL Commitment.

UTILISATION – LOANS

Giving of Requests

A Borrower may borrow a Loan by giving to the Facility Agent a duly completed Request.

Unless the Facility Agent otherwise agrees, the latest time for receipt by the Facility Agent of a duly completed Request is 11.00 a.m. three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Facility Agent but in any event not less than two Business Days) before the Quotation Day for the proposed borrowing.

Each Request is irrevocable.

Completion of Requests

A Request for a Loan will not be regarded as having been duly completed unless:

the Utilisation Date is a Business Day falling within the Availability Period for the Facility under which the Loan is to be made;

the amount of the Loan requested is:

a minimum of US$5,000,000 and an integral multiple of US$1,000,000;

such other amount as the Facility Agent may agree; and

the proposed Interest Period complies with this Agreement.

Only one Loan may be requested in a Request.

Advance of Loan

The Facility Agent must promptly notify each Lender of the details of the requested Loan and the amount of its share in that Loan.

The amount of each Lender’s share of the requested Loan will be its Pro Rata Share on the proposed Utilisation Date.

No Lender is obliged to participate in a Loan if, as a result its share in the Credits under a Facility would exceed its Commitment for that Facility.

If the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met, each Lender must make its share in the requested Loan available to the Facility Agent for the relevant Borrower through its Facility Office on the Utilisation Date.

UTILISATION – LETTERS OF CREDIT

Unless the Issuing Bank and the Facility Agent otherwise agree, the latest time for receipt by the Facility Agent of a duly completed Request is 11.00 a.m. five Business Days before the proposed Utilisation Date.

The Facility Agent must, by close of business in Hong Kong on the day on which a Request for a Letter of Credit is received by it, notify the Issuing Bank in writing of the maximum undrawn amount available under the L/C Facility.

Each Request is irrevocable.

Completion of Requests

A Request for a Letter of Credit will not be regarded as being duly completed unless:

it specifies that it is for a Letter of Credit and whether it is to be a standby Letter of Credit or not;

the Utilisation Date is a Business Day falling within the Availability Period;

the amount of the Letter of Credit requested is:

not exceeding the maximum undrawn amount available under the L/C Facility on the proposed Utilisation Date; or

such other amount as the Issuing Bank may agree;

in the case of a Letter of Credit which is a standby letter of credit:

it is in the form of Letter of Credit (in substantially the form of Schedule 9 (Form of Letter of Credit)); and

all relevant supporting documents are attached;

in the case of a Letter of Credit which is not a standby letter of credit, the relevant application form (in substantially the form of applications generally accepted by the Issuing Bank for general letter of credit business from time to time) and all relevant supporting documents are attached;

the expiry date (including the last day of the issuance period) of the Letter of Credit falls on or before one Business Day before the Final Maturity Date;

the expiry date of the Letter of Credit does not exceed:

in respect of a Letter of Credit requested for the purpose of equipment purchases, 540 days from the Utilisation Date; and

in respect of a Letter of Credit requested for any other general purpose, 150 days from the Utilisation Date; and

the delivery instructions for the Letter of Credit are specified.

For the purpose of (a)(vii) above, if the expiry date of the Letter of Credit falls on a day other than a Business Day, the expiry date of the Letter of Credit shall be the Business Day immediately preceding such day.

Only one Letter of Credit may be requested in a Request, and only three Requests for Letters of Credit may be delivered on any day.

Issue of Letter of Credit

The Issuing Bank must promptly notify the Facility Agent of the details of the requested Letter of Credit.

The Facility Agent must promptly upon receipt of the notification under paragraph (a) above notify each L/C Lender of the details of the requested Letter of Credit and the amount of its share of that Letter of Credit.

The amount of each L/C Lender’s share in a Letter of Credit will be its Pro Rata Share on the proposed Utilisation Date.

If the conditions set out in Clause 4.1 (Initial Conditions precedent documents) and this Clause 6 (Utilisation – Letters of Credit) have been met, the Issuing Bank must issue the Letter of Credit on the Utilisation Date.

The Issuing Bank must promptly provide to the Facility Agent a copy of any Letter of Credit issued under this Clause. The Issuing Bank is solely responsible for the form of the Letter of Credit that it issues. The Facility Agent has no duty to monitor the form of that document.

Conditions precedent

The Issuing Bank is not obliged to issue any Letter of Credit if as a result:

a L/C Lender’s share in the Letters of Credit would exceed its Commitment for the L/C Facility; or

the Letters of Credit would exceed the Total L/C Commitments.

The Issuing Bank is not obliged to issue any Letter of Credit if either on the date of the Request or the Utilisation Date:

the Repeating Representations are not correct in all material respects; and/or

a Default is outstanding or would result from the issue of that Letter of Credit.

The Issuing Bank has no duty to enquire of any person whether or not any of the conditions precedent set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) above have been met. The Issuing Bank may assume that those conditions have been met unless it is expressly notified to the contrary by the Facility Agent in accordance with Clause 38 (Notices) by 12.00pm on the proposed Utilisation Date. The Issuing Bank will have no liability to any person for issuing a Letter of Credit based on any such assumption.

L/C – LETTERS OF CREDIT

General

A Letter of Credit is repaid or prepaid to the extent that:

the Borrower who requests for the Letter of Credit provides cash cover for that Letter of Credit;

the maximum amount payable under the Letter of Credit is reduced or cancelled in accordance with its terms; or

the Issuing Bank is satisfied that it has no further liability under that Letter of Credit.

If a Letter of Credit or any amount outstanding under a Letter of Credit becomes immediately payable under this Agreement, the Borrower who requests for that Letter of Credit must repay or prepay that amount immediately.

Cash cover is provided for a Letter of Credit if the Borrower who requests for that Letter of Credit pays an amount in the currency of the Letter of Credit to an interest-bearing account with the Issuing Bank in the name of such Borrower and the following conditions are met:

until no amount is or may be outstanding under that Letter of Credit, withdrawals from the account may only be made to pay the Finance Parties for which the cash cover is provided under this Clause; and

such Borrower has entered into and delivered a security document over that account, in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, creating a first ranking security interest over that account.

The outstanding or principal amount of a Letter of Credit at any time is the maximum amount (actual or contingent) that is or may be payable by the relevant Borrower in respect of that Letter of Credit at that time.

The amount of cash cover will be ignored in calculating the undrawn Commitment of each Lender.

A reference to a claim being made under a Letter of Credit or a claim being paid by the Issuing Bank includes a reference to any amount due (actually or contingently) from the Issuing Bank under that Letter of Credit in any account taken for the purposes of any mandatory set-off under any applicable law or regulation in the insolvency proceedings of the beneficiary of that Letter of Credit or any other person.

Illegality

The Issuing Bank must notify the Company promptly if it becomes aware that it is unlawful in any jurisdiction for the Issuing Bank to perform any of its obligations under a Finance Document or to have outstanding any Letter of Credit.

After notification under paragraph (a) above:

the Company must use its best endeavours to ensure the release of the liability of the Issuing Bank under each outstanding Letter of Credit;

failing this, each Borrower must repay or prepay the share of each L/C Lender in each Letter of Credit requested by it on the date specified in paragraph (c) below; and

no further Letters of Credit will be issued.

The date for repayment or prepayment of a L/C Lender’s share in a Letter of Credit will be the date specified by the Issuing Bank in the notification under paragraph (a) above and which must not be earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period allowed by law.

Claims under a Letter of Credit

Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally authorises the Issuing Bank to pay any claim made or purported to be made under a Letter of Credit requested by it and which appears on its face to be in order (a claim).

The Issuing Bank may at its discretion determine whether a claim is in order. If the Issuing Bank determines that a claim is not in order, it must promptly notify the Facility Agent in writing of such determination and provide to the Facility Agent all relevant details (including any supporting documents) of the relevant claim. Upon receipt of such notification:

the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the L/C Lenders;

the L/C Lenders shall provide their response to the discrepancies, and if no reply is received within three Business Days of the request, such consent shall be deemed given; and

the Facility Agent may, subject to sub-paragraph (ii) above, instruct the Issuing Bank to accept the relevant claim.

Each Borrower that requested the issue of a Letter of Credit must pay to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to the amount of any claim one Business Day after each such claim.

The Issuing Bank must promptly notify the Facility Agent:

upon paying any claim made or purported to be made under a Letter of Credit pursuant to paragraph (a) above;

upon receipt from the Borrowers of all amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (c) above; and

if the Borrowers fail to pay any amounts due to the Issuing Bank in accordance with paragraph (c) above.

Each Borrower acknowledges that the Issuing Bank:

is not obliged to carry out any investigation or seek any confirmation from any other person before paying a claim; and

deals in documents only and will not be concerned with the legality of a claim or any underlying transaction or any available set-off, counterclaim or other defence of any person.

The obligations of a Borrower under this Clause will not be affected by:

the sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of any claim or any other document; or

any incapacity of, or limitation on the powers of, any person signing a claim or other document.

Indemnities

Each Borrower must immediately on demand indemnify the Issuing Bank against any loss or liability which the Issuing Bank incurs under or in connection with any Letter of Credit requested by it, except to the extent that the loss or liability is directly caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

Each L/C Lender must immediately on demand (to be issued directly by the Issuing Bank) directly indemnify the Issuing Bank against its share of any loss or liability which the Issuing Bank incurs under or in connection with any Letter of Credit and which has not been paid for by an Obligor, except to the extent that the loss or liability is directly caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

The Facility Agent must, upon request by the Issuing Bank, provide to the Issuing Bank any relevant details of each L/C Lender for the purposes of issuing a demand under paragraph (b) above.

A L/C Lender’s share of the liability or loss referred to in paragraph (b) above will be its Pro Rata Share on the Utilisation Date of the relevant Letter of Credit, adjusted to reflect any subsequent assignment or transfer under this Agreement.

The Issuing Bank must promptly notify the Facility Agent:

upon issuing a demand pursuant to paragraph (b) above; and

upon receipt from a L/C Lender of any amounts referred to under paragraph (b) above.

Each Borrower must immediately on demand reimburse any L/C Lender for any payment it makes to the Issuing Bank under this Subclause.

The obligations of each Borrower and each L/C Lender under this Clause are continuing obligations and will extend to the ultimate balance of all sums payable by the Borrower or that L/C Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

The obligations of each Borrower and each L/C Lender under this Clause will not be affected by any act, omission or thing which, but for this provision, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause (whether or not known to it or any other person). This includes:

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

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

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 (present or future) of, any person;

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;

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

any amendment of a Finance Document, any Letter of Credit or any other document or security;

any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document, any Letter of Credit or any other document or security; or

any insolvency or similar proceedings.

Interpolated Term SOFR: If Term SOFR is not available for the Interest Period of a Loan, the Reference Rate for such Interest Period shall be Interpolated Term SOFR for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Loan.

Historical Term SOFR: If paragraph (a) above applies but Interpolated Term SOFR is not available for the Interest Period of the relevant Loan, the Reference Rate for such Interest Period shall be Historic Term SOFR for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Loan.

Interpolated Historic Term SOFR: If paragraph (b) above applies but Historic Term SOFR is not available for the Interest Period of the relevant Loan, the Reference Rate for such Interest Period shall be Interpolated Historic Term SOFR for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Loan.

Central Bank Rate: If paragraph (c) above applies but it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Historic Term SOFR, the Reference Rate for such Interest Period shall be (A) the percentage rate per annum which is the Central Bank Rate for the Quotation Day, or (B) if the Central Bank Rate for the Quotation Day is not available, the percentage rate per annum which is the most recent Central Bank Rate for a day which is no more than 5 days before the Quotation Day.

Cost of funds: If paragraph (d) above applies but the Central Bank Rate is not available for the Interest Period of the relevant Loan, there shall be no Reference Rate for that Loan and Clause 13.3 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Loan for that Interest Period.

Market disruption

the Margin; and

in the circumstances described in Subclause 13.1 (Unavailability of Term SOFR) or Subclause 13.2 (Market disruption), the rate notified to the Borrowers by the Facility Agent to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum, the cost to the Lenders of funding that Loan from whatever source they may reasonably select.

If this Clause 13.3 applies and a Lender or a Borrower so requires, the Lender and the Borrowers shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be binding on all the Parties.

TAXES

General

Tax gross-up

Each Obligor must make all payments to be made by it under the Finance Documents without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

If an Obligor or a Lender is aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction), it must promptly notify the Facility Agent. If the Facility Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify that Obligor.

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

If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor must make the minimum Tax Deduction allowed by law and must make any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law.

Within 30 Business Days of making either a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction or payment must deliver to the Facility Agent for the relevant Finance Party evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party (acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) the appropriate payment has been paid to the relevant taxing authority.

any Tax imposed on or calculated with reference to profit or net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) of a Finance Party by the jurisdiction in which such Finance Party is incorporated;

any Tax imposed on or calculated with reference to profit or net income on the Facility Office of a Finance Party by the jurisdiction in which the Facility Office of such Finance Party is located; or

a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a party.

A Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above must promptly notify the Facility Agent and the Company in accordance with Subclause 38.4 (Obligors) of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

A Finance Party must, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause notify the Facility Agent.

All consideration expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Obligor to a Finance Party shall be deemed to be exclusive of any Indirect Tax. If any Indirect Tax is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Obligor in connection with a Finance Document, that Obligor shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the Indirect Tax.

Where a Finance Document requires any Obligor to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that Obligor shall also at the same time reimburse and indemnify (as the case may be) the Finance Party against all Indirect Tax incurred by that Finance Party in respect of such costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment in respect of the Indirect Tax.

FATCA Information

Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

confirm to that other Party whether it is:

a FATCA Exempt Party; or

not a FATCA Exempt Party;

supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA; and

supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party as soon as reasonably practicable.

Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

any law or regulation;

any fiduciary duty; or

any duty of confidentiality.

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 paragraph (a)(i) or (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.

If the Borrower is a US Tax Obligor or a Finance Party reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA or any other applicable law or regulation require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of:

If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to Facility Agent by a Lender is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, the relevant Lender shall promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Facility Agent unless it is unlawful for the relevant Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent). The Facility Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the relevant Borrower.

The Facility Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) or (g) above without further verification. The Facility Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with paragraph (e), (f) or (g) above.

If a Lender fails to supply any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation, waiver or information in accordance with paragraph (e) above, or any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation, waiver or information provided by a Lender to the Facility Agent is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, then such Lender shall indemnify the Facility Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss, Tax or liability (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) incurred by the Facility Agent (including any related interest and penalties) in acting as Facility Agent under the Finance Documents as a result of such failure.

FATCA Deduction

Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required by FATCA to make, 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.

Each Borrower 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.

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.

PAYMENTS

Place

Funds

Distribution

Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party must, except as provided below, be made available by the Facility Agent to that Party by payment (as soon as practicable after receipt) to its account with such office or bank in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant currency as it may notify to the Facility Agent for this purpose by not less than five Business Days’ prior notice.

The Facility Agent may apply any amount received by it for an Obligor in or towards payment (as soon as practicable after receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards the purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

Where a sum is paid to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents 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.

The Facility Agent shall distribute payments received by it in relation to all or any part of a Loan to the Lender indicated in the records of the Facility Agent as being so entitled on that date Provided that the Facility Agent is authorised to distribute payments to be made on the date on which any transfer becomes effective pursuant to Clause 31 (Changes to the Parties) to the Lender so entitled immediately before such transfer took place regardless of the period to which such sums relate.

Currency

Unless a Finance Document specifies that payments under it are to be made in a different manner, the currency of each amount payable under the Finance Documents is determined under this Subclause.

Interest is payable in the currency in which the relevant amount in respect of which it is payable is denominated.

A repayment or prepayment of any principal amount is payable in the currency in which that principal amount is denominated on its due date.

Amounts payable in respect of Taxes, fees, costs and expenses are payable in the currency in which they are incurred.

Each other amount payable under the Finance Documents is payable in USD.

No set-off or counterclaim

Business Days

If a payment under the Finance Documents is due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date for that payment will instead be the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not) or whatever day the Facility Agent determines is market practice.

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.

Partial payments

If the Facility Agent receives a payment insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by the Obligors under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent must apply that payment towards the obligations of the Obligors under the Finance Documents in the following order:

first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Administrative Parties, Receivers or their respective Delegates under the Finance Documents;

secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest or fee due but unpaid under this Agreement;

thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal amount due but unpaid under this Agreement; and

fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents.

The Facility Agent must, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, vary the order set out in sub-paragraphs (a)(ii) to (iv) above.

This Subclause will override any appropriation made by an Obligor.

Timing of payments

Disruption to payment system

the Facility Agent may, and shall if requested to do so by the Company, consult with the Company with a view to agreeing with the Company such changes to the operation or administration of the Facilities as the Facility Agent may deem necessary in the circumstances;

the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to consult with the Company in relation to any changes mentioned in paragraph (a) above if, in its opinion, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances and, in any event, shall have no obligation to agree to such changes;

the Facility Agent may consult with the Finance Parties in relation to any changes mentioned in paragraph (a) above but shall not be obliged to do so if, in its opinion, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances;

any such changes agreed upon by the Facility Agent and the Company shall (whether or not it is finally determined that a Disruption Event has occurred) be binding upon the Parties as an amendment to (or, as the case may be, waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 30 (Amendments and Waivers);

the Facility Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Facility Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this Clause; and

the Facility Agent shall notify the Finance Parties of all changes agreed pursuant to paragraph (d) above.

Amounts paid in error

If an Agent pays an amount to another Party and such Agent notifies that Party that such payment was an Erroneous Payment then the Party to whom that amount was paid by such Agent shall on demand refund the same to such Agent.

Neither:

the obligations of any Party to an Agent; nor

the remedies of an Agent,

All payments to be made by a Party to an Agent (whether made pursuant to this Clause 17.10 or otherwise) which relate to an Erroneous Payment shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim.

In this Agreement, “Erroneous Payment” means a payment of an amount by an Agent to another Party which such Agent determines (in its sole discretion) was made in error.

GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

Guarantee and indemnity

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

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

agrees with each Finance Party that if, for any reason, any amount claimed by a Finance Party under this Clause is not recoverable from that Guarantor on the basis of a guarantee then that Guarantor 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 the 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 a Guarantor 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

If any discharge (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor 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 or otherwise without limitation, the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge or arrangement had not occurred.

Immediate recourse

Each 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 right or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause.

Release of Guarantors’ right of contribution

that Guarantor will be released by each other Guarantor from any liability whatsoever to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and

each other Guarantor will waive any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any right of any Finance Party under any Finance Document or of any other security taken under, or in connection with, any Finance Document where the rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the retiring Guarantor.
