Item 1.01	Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement	
On January 12, 2017, FMC Technologies, Inc. (“FMCTI”) and Technip Eurocash SNC (together with FMCTI, the “Borrowers”) entered into a new $2.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) as agent and an arranger; SG Americas Securities LLC as an arranger; and the lenders party thereto (the “Facility Agreement”). The Facility Agreement provides that FMCTI shall act as initial guarantor and that TechnipFMC plc (“TechnipFMC”) shall accede as an additional borrower and an additional guarantor following the consummation of its pending business combination with FMCTI and Technip S.A. (the “Transaction”). The Facility Agreement will replace FMCTI’s existing $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement and Technip Eurocash SNC’s existing €1.0 billion multicurrency revolving facility agreement, both of which are currently undrawn and will terminate upon availability of the Facility Agreement.
The Facility Agreement provides for the establishment of a multicurrency, revolving credit facility with a total commitment of $2.5 billion, which includes a $1.5 billion letter of credit subfacility and a $500.0 million swingline loan subfacility. Subject to certain conditions, the Borrowers may request the aggregate commitments under the Facility Agreement be increased to a maximum amount of $3.0 billion. Unless otherwise extended pursuant to the terms of the Facility Agreement, the credit facility expires five years from the date on which (i) the Transaction has been consummated and (ii) certain other conditions precedent have been satisfied. No funds may be borrowed under the credit facility until TechnipFMC accedes to the Facility Agreement.
Borrowings under the Facility Agreement bear interest at the following rates, plus an applicable margin, depending on currency:
 
 	•	 	U.S. dollar-denominated loans bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at a base rate or an adjusted rate linked to the London interbank offered rate (“Adjusted LIBOR”);	
 
 	•	 	sterling-denominated loans bear interest at Adjusted LIBOR; and	
 
 	•	 	euro-denominated loans bear interest at the Euro interbank offered rate (“EURIBOR”).	
Depending on the credit rating of TechnipFMC, the applicable margin for revolving loans varies (i) in the case of Adjusted LIBOR and EURIBOR loans, from 0.820% to 1.300% and (ii) in the case of base rate loans, from 0.000% to 0.300%. The “base rate” is the highest of (a) the prime rate announced by JPMorgan, (b) the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 0.5% or (c) one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%.
The Facility Agreement contains usual and customary covenants, representations and warranties and events of default for credit facilities of this type, including financial covenants.
The foregoing description of the Facility Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Facility Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

 	(ii)	the receipt by the Agent of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of each Obligor certifying as to:

 	(B)	the absence of any Default or Event of Default under the Finance Documents, in each case on the date of such Increase Confirmation;	
 
 	(C)	if requested by the Agent, the receipt by the Agent of legal opinions each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent of counsel to the Borrowers in each of the jurisdictions in which an Obligor is incorporated or established in respect of such matters as are customarily provided in legal opinions for commitment increases; and

 	(h)	An Issuing Bank may issue a Letter of Credit in the form of a SWIFT message or other form of communication customary in the relevant market but has no obligation to issue that Letter of Credit in any particular form of communication.	
 
 	(i)	Each Issuing Bank may, at its option, issue any Letters of Credit requested by any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Issuing Bank to issue such Letter of Credit;  provided  that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for any claim paid by it under such Letter of Credit. As a condition to any Issuing Bank being permitted to cause a branch or an Affiliate of such Issuing Bank to act as the Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit under this Clause 7.5, such branch or Affiliate must comply, to the extent applicable, with Clause 18.5 ( Lender status confirmation ) and Clause 18.8 ( FATCA information ) as if it were a Lender that became a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate executed on the first date on which a Letter of Credit is issued by such branch or Affiliate. Additionally, in applying the provisions of Clause 18 ( Tax gross ups and indemnities ) and Clause 19 ( Increased Costs ), such branch or Affiliate shall be treated as a Lender that executed an Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate on the first date on which a Letter of Credit is issued by such branch or Affiliate (and the provisions of Clause 29.2(g) ( Conditions of assignment or transfer ) shall apply accordingly).

7.6	Renewal of a Letter of Credit

 	(b)	The Finance Parties shall treat any Renewal Request in the same way as a Utilisation Request for a Letter of Credit except that the condition set out in paragraph (f) of Clause 7.3 ( Completion of a Utilisation Request for Letters of Credit ) shall not apply.	
 
 	(c)	The terms of each renewed Letter of Credit shall be the same as those of the relevant Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal, except that:	
 
 	(i)	its amount may be less than the amount of the Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal; and	
 
 	(ii)	its Term shall start on the date which was the Expiry Date of the Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal, and shall end on the proposed Expiry Date specified in the Renewal Request.	
 
 	(d)	Subject to paragraph (e) below, if the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met, the Issuing Bank shall amend and re-issue any Letter of Credit pursuant to a Renewal Request.	
 
 	(e)	Where a new Letter of Credit is to be issued to replace by way of renewal an existing Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank is not required to issue that new Letter of Credit until the Letter of Credit being replaced has been returned to the Issuing Bank or the Issuing Bank is satisfied either that it will be returned to it or otherwise that no liability can arise under it.	
 
7.7	Reduction or Expiry of Letter of Credit	
If the amount of any Letter of Credit is wholly or partly reduced or is repaid or prepaid or it expires prior to its Expiry Date, the relevant Issuing Bank and the Borrower that requested the issue of that Letter of Credit shall promptly notify the Agent of the details upon becoming aware of them.
 
7.8	Appointment of additional Issuing Banks	
Any Lender which has agreed to the Company’s request to be an Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall become an Issuing Bank for the purposes of this Agreement upon notifying the Agent and the Company that it has so agreed to be an Issuing Bank and specifying its LC Commitment, and on making that notification that Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents.

8.2	Purpose	
Each Borrower shall apply all amounts borrowed by it under the Swingline Facility for any purpose referred to in or contemplated by Clause 3.1 ( Purpose ). A Swingline Loan may not be applied in repayment or prepayment of another Swingline Loan.
 
8.3	Repayment	
Each Borrower that has drawn a Swingline Loan shall repay that Swingline Loan on the last day of its Interest Period; provided  that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on each date that a Revolving Facility Loan is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding (it being understood that no Break Costs shall be payable by any Borrower in connection with any such repayment).

 	(ii)	in respect of all Swingline Loans denominated in euro, EONIA plus the Applicable Rate.

8.6	Unavailability of Screen Rate – Swingline Facility	
If no Screen Rate is available for EONIA for any day, the applicable EONIA for that day shall be the most recent applicable Screen Rate which is as of a day which is no more than 5 Business Days before that day, and if such Screen Rate is unavailable, Clause 8.7 ( Cost of funds – Swingline Facility ) shall apply.
 
8.7	Cost of funds – Swingline Facility	
 
 	(a)	If this Clause 8.7 applies, the rate of interest on each Swingline Lender’s share of the relevant Swingline Loan for the relevant day shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of: (i) the rate notified to the Agent by that Swingline Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Swingline Loan, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Swingline Lender of funding its participation in that Swingline Loan for that day from whatever source it may reasonably select, plus (ii) the Applicable Rate.	
 
 	(b)	If this Clause 8.7 applies but any Swingline Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in paragraph (a) above, the rate of interest shall be calculated on the basis of the weighted average of quotations of the remaining Swingline Lenders.

 	(a)	The Agent may perform its duties in respect of the Swingline Facility through an Affiliate acting as its agent.	
 
 	(b)	Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement and without limiting the liability of any Obligor under the Finance Documents, each Lender shall (in proportion to its share of the Total Commitments or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, to its share of the Total Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) pay to or indemnify the Agent, within three Business Days of demand, for or against any cost, loss or liability (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of loss whatsoever) incurred by the Agent or its Affiliate (other than by reason of the Agent’s or the Affiliate’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) or, in the case of any cost, loss or liability pursuant to Clause 34.11 ( Disruption to payment systems etc. ) notwithstanding the Agent’s or the Affiliate’s negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) whatsoever (but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent or the Affiliate) in acting as Agent for the Swingline Facility under the	
 
-51-

 	Finance Documents (unless the Agent or its Affiliate has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document).	
 
8.10	Partial payments – Swingline Facility	
 
 	(a)	If the Agent receives a payment in respect of the Swingline Facility that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents in respect of the Swingline Facility, the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in respect of the Swingline Facility in the following order:	
 
 	(i)	first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid amount owing to the Agent or its Affiliate under the Finance Documents incurred in respect of the Swingline Facility;	
 
 	(ii)	secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest on a Swingline Loan due but unpaid under this Agreement;	
 
 	(iii)	thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of the principal of any Swingline Loan due but unpaid under this Agreement; and	
 
 	(iv)	fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents in respect of the Swingline Facility.	
 
 	(b)	The Agent shall, if so directed by all the Swingline Lenders, vary the order set out in paragraphs (a)(ii) to (iv) above.	
 
 	(c)	Paragraphs (a) and (b) above will override any appropriation made by an Obligor, and Clause 34.6 (Partial payments ) does not apply to the Swingline Facility.	
 
8.11	Loss sharing	
 
 	(a)	If a Swingline Loan or interest on a Swingline Loan is not paid in full on its due date, the Agent (if requested to do so in writing by any affected Swingline Lender) shall calculate the amount (if any) which needs to be paid by each Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment to place that Swingline Lender in the position it would have been in had each Lender (or its Affiliate) with a Revolving Facility Commitment participated in that Swingline Loan in the proportion borne by its Revolving Facility Commitment to the Total Commitments and, if the Total Commitments are then zero, the proportion borne by its Revolving Facility Commitment to the Total Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero.	
 
 	(b)	The calculation of the Agent is designed solely to allocate the unpaid amount proportionally between the Lenders with a Revolving Facility Commitment according to their Revolving Facility Commitments and will not take into account any other amount payable under the Finance Documents.	
 
 	(c)	The Agent will set a date (the “Loss Sharing Date”) on which payments must be made under this Clause 8.11. The Agent shall give at least three Business	
 
-52-

 	Days’ notice to each affected Lender of this date and the amount of the payment (if any) to be paid or received by it on this date.	
 
 	(d)	On the Loss Sharing Date:	
 
 	(i)	each affected Lender who has to make a payment shall pay to the Agent the relevant amount set out in the notice referred to in paragraph (c) above; and	
 
 	(ii)	out of the amounts the Agent receives, the Agent shall pay to each affected Swingline Lender who is entitled to receive a payment the amount set out in that notice.	
 
 	(e)	If the amount actually received by the Agent from the Lenders under paragraph (d) above is insufficient to pay the full amount required to be paid under that paragraph, the Agent shall distribute the amount it actually receives among the affected Swingline Lenders  pro rata  to the amounts they are entitled to receive under that paragraph.	
 
 	(f)	If a Lender makes a payment to the Agent under this Clause 8.11 then, to the extent that such payment is distributed by the Agent under paragraphs (d) or (e) above, as between the relevant Obligor and that Lender an amount equal to the amount of that distributed payment will be treated as not having been paid by the relevant Obligor.	
 
 	(g)	Each affected Lender may, at its option, make any payment required to be made to the Agent pursuant to paragraph (d) above by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such payment;  provided  that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the relevant Obligor to repay such amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. As a condition to any Lender being permitted to cause a branch or an Affiliate of such Lender to make payments to the Agent pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Clause 8.11, such branch or Affiliate must comply, to the extent applicable, with Clause 18.5 ( Lender status confirmation ) and Clause 18.8 ( FATCA information ) as if it were a Lender that became a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate executed on the first date on which any such payment is made by such branch or Affiliate. Additionally, in applying the provisions of Clause 18 ( Tax gross ups and indemnities ) and Clause 19 ( Increased Costs ), such branch or Affiliate shall be treated as a Lender that executed an Assignment Agreement or Transfer Certificate on the first date on which any such payment is made by such branch or Affiliate (and the provisions of Clause 29.2(g) ( Conditions of assignment or transfer ) shall apply accordingly).

Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Clause 9.3(b) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.	
 
 	(d)	Each Borrower acknowledges that the Issuing Bank:	
 
 	(i)	is not obliged to carry out any investigation or seek any confirmation from any other person before paying a claim; and	
 
 	(ii)	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.	
 
 	(e)	The obligations of a Borrower and each Lender under this Clause 9 will not be affected by:

9.3	Indemnities	
 
 	(a)	Each Lender shall (according to its L/C Proportion) immediately on demand indemnify the Issuing Bank against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (unless the Issuing Bank has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document).	
 
 	(b)	The Borrower which requested a Letter of Credit shall immediately on demand reimburse any Lender for any payment such Lender makes to the Issuing Bank under this Clause 9.3 in respect of that Letter of Credit.	
 
 	(c)	The obligations of each Lender or Borrower under this Clause are continuing obligations and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by that Lender or Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.	
 
 	(d)	If a Borrower has provided cash cover in respect of a Lender’s participation in a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall seek reimbursement from that cash cover before making a demand of that Lender under paragraph (a) above. Any recovery made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to that cash cover will reduce that Lender’s liability under paragraph (a) above.	
 
 	(e)	The obligations of any Lender or Borrower under this Clause 9 will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any other person), including:	
 
 	(i)	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of Credit or any other person;

 	(iii)	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 Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of Credit or other person or 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;	
 
-55-

 	(iv)	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of Credit or any other person;

 	(ii)	as soon as practicable upon becoming aware of the same, that it has become a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender,	
and an indication in Schedule 1 (The Original Parties) in a Transfer Certificate, in an Assignment Agreement or in an Increase Confirmation to that effect will constitute a notice under paragraph (i) above to the Agent and, upon delivery in accordance with Clause 29.7 ( Copy of Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation to Company ), to the Company.
 
 	(e)	Any notice received by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (d) above shall constitute notice to the Issuing Bank of that Lender’s status and the Agent shall, upon receiving each such notice, promptly notify the Issuing Bank of that Lender’s status as specified in that notice.

 	(i)	to the extent that such cash collateral has not been applied in satisfaction of any amount due and payable under this Agreement by that Lender to that Issuing Bank in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit;

 	(c)	if that Borrower has not already provided such cash cover which is continuing to stand as collateral,	
then that Borrower shall provide such cash cover within 3 Business Days of the notice referred to in paragraph (b) above.
 
9.6	Regulation and consequences of cash cover provided by Borrower	
 
 	(a)	Any cash cover provided by a Borrower pursuant to Clause 9.4 (Cash collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and Borrower’s option to provide cash cover ) or Clause 9.5 ( Requirement for cash cover from Borrower ) may be funded out of a Revolving Facility Loan.

However the relevant Borrower’s obligation to pay any letter of credit fee in relation to the relevant Letter of Credit to the Agent (for the account of that Lender) in accordance with Clause 16.2 ( Letter of Credit Fees ) will be reduced proportionately as from the date on which it provides that cash cover (and for so long as the relevant amount of cash cover continues to stand as collateral).	
 
 	(d)	The relevant Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of the extent to which a Borrower provides cash cover pursuant to Clause 9.4 ( Cash collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and Borrower’s option to provide cash cover ) or Clause 9.5 ( Requirement for cash cover from Borrower ) and of any change in the amount of cash cover so provided.

10.1	Selection of currency	
A Borrower (or the Company on behalf of a Borrower) shall select the currency of a Utilisation in a Utilisation Request.
 
10.2	Unavailability of a currency	
If before the Specified Time on any Quotation Day:
 
 	(a)	a Lender notifies the Agent that the Optional Currency requested is not readily available to it in the amount required; or	
 
 	(b)	a Lender notifies the Agent that compliance with its obligation to participate in a Revolving Facility Loan in the proposed Optional Currency would contravene a law or regulation applicable to it,	
the Agent will give notice to the relevant Borrower to that effect by the Specified Time on that day. In this event, any Lender that gives notice pursuant to this Clause 10.2 will be required to participate in the Revolving Facility Loan in the Base Currency (in an amount equal to that Lender’s proportion of the Base Currency Amount or, in respect of a Rollover Loan, an amount equal to that Lender’s proportion of the Base Currency Amount of the Rollover Loan that is due to be made) and its participation will be treated as a separate Revolving Facility Loan denominated in the Base Currency during that Interest Period.

 	(b)	On each Revolving Facility Loan Revaluation Date in respect of a Specified Revolving Facility Loan, the Agent shall recalculate the Base Currency	
 
-60-

11.1	Repayment of Revolving Facility Loans	
 
 	(a)	Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Borrower which has drawn a Revolving Facility Loan shall repay that Revolving Facility Loan on the last day of its Interest Period (and, for the avoidance of doubt, on the Maturity Date).	
 
 	(b)	Without prejudice to each Borrower’s obligation under paragraph (a) above, if:	
 
 	(i)	one or more Revolving Facility Loans are to be made available to a Borrower:	
 
 	(A)	on the same day that a maturing Revolving Facility Loan is due to be repaid by that Borrower;	
 
 	(B)	in the same currency as the maturing Revolving Facility Loan (unless it arose as a result of the operation of Clause 10.2 ( Unavailability of a currency )); and	
 
 	(C)	in whole or in part for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Revolving Facility Loan; and	
 
 	(ii)	the proportion borne by each Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan to the amount of that maturing Revolving Facility Loan is the same as the proportion borne by that Lender’s participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans to the aggregate amount of those new Revolving Facility Loans,	
the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans shall, unless the Company notifies the Agent to the contrary in the relevant Utilisation Request, be treated as if applied in or towards repayment of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan so that:
 
 	(1)	if the amount of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans:	
 
 	(I)	the relevant Borrower will only be required to make a payment under Clause 34.1 (Payments to the Agent ) in an amount in the relevant currency equal to that excess; and	
 
 	(II)	each Lender’s participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan and that Lender will not be required to make a payment under Clause 34.1	
 
-62-

 	(Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans; and	
 
 	(2)	if the amount of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans:	
 
 	(I)	the relevant Borrower will not be required to make a payment under Clause 34.1 (Payments to the Agent ); and	
 
 	(II)	each Lender will be required to make a payment under Clause 34.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans only to the extent that its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans exceeds that Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan and the remainder of that Lender’s participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan.	
 
 	(c)	At any time when a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that Lender in the Revolving Facility Loans (other than Swingline Loans) then outstanding will be automatically extended to the Maturity Date and will be treated as separate Revolving Facility Loans (the “ Separate Loans ”) denominated in the currency in which the relevant participations are outstanding.	
 
 	(d)	A Borrower to whom a Separate Loan is outstanding may prepay that Loan by giving not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent. The Agent will forward a copy of a prepayment notice received in accordance with this paragraph (d) to the Defaulting Lender concerned as soon as practicable on receipt.	
 
 	(e)	Interest in respect of a Separate Loan will accrue for successive Interest Periods selected by the Borrower by the time and date specified by the Agent (acting reasonably) and will be payable by that Borrower to the Agent (for the account of that Defaulting Lender) on the last day of each Interest Period of that Loan.	
 
 	(f)	The terms of this Agreement relating to Revolving Facility Loans generally shall continue to apply to Separate Loans other than to the extent inconsistent with paragraphs (c) to (e) above, in which case those paragraphs shall prevail in respect of any Separate Loan.

 	(b)	If VAT is or becomes 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 other than the Recipient (the “ Relevant Party ”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):	
 
 	(i)	(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT.

 	(d)	Any reference in this Clause 18.7 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires):	
 
 	(i)	any other member of such VAT Group at such time which is or will be under an obligation to account for, or pay, to any Tax authority any VAT chargeable on or in respect of any supplies constituted by or otherwise arising from the activities of such Party; or	
 
 	(ii)	in relation to any amounts representing VAT incurred by such Party (as part of any fee, cost, loss, disbursement, commission, damages, expense, charge or liability incurred by it), any other member of such VAT Group at such time which, if such VAT is recoverable from any Tax authority, is the person which is, or will be, entitled to credit in respect of or repayment of such VAT from such Tax authority.	
 
 	(e)	In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

 	(B)	not a FATCA Exempt Party;	
 
 	(ii)	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	
 
 	(iii)	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.	
 
-86-

 	(b)	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 reasonably promptly.	
 
 	(c)	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:	
 
 	(i)	any law or regulation;	
 
 	(ii)	any fiduciary duty; or	
 
 	(iii)	any duty of confidentiality.	
 
 	(d)	If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with 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.	
 
 	(e)	If a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor or a US person is deemed to be an Obligor, any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding Taxes with respect to payments made under any Finance Document shall deliver to the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the US Tax Obligor or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the US Tax Obligor or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the US Tax Obligor or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the US Tax Obligor or the Agent as will enable the US Tax Obligor or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

GUARANTEE
 
23.	GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY	
 
23.1	Guarantee and indemnity	
Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:
 
 	(a)	guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Borrower of all that Borrower’s 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, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and	
 
 	(c)	agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 23 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.	
 
23.2	Continuing guarantee	
This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.
 
23.3	Reinstatement	
If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause 23 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.
 
23.4	Waiver of defences	
The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 23 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 23 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party), including:
 
 	(a)	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;	
 
-96-

 	(b)	the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;	
 
 	(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 Obligor or other person or 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;	
 
 	(d)	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;	
 
 	(e)	any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Finance Document or any other document or security including without limitation any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;

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 rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 23. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.
 
23.6	Appropriations	
Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:
 
 	(a)	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and	
 
 	(b)	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 23.	
 
23.7	Deferral of Guarantors’ rights	
Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have
 
-97-

by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 23:
 
 	(a)	to be indemnified by an Obligor;	
 
 	(b)	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents;	
 
 	(c)	to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party;	
 
 	(d)	to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 23.1 ( Guarantee and indemnity );	
 
 	(e)	to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or	
 
 	(f)	to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party.	
If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights, it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 34 ( Payment Mechanics ).
 
23.8	Release of Guarantors’ right of contribution	
If any Guarantor (a “Retiring Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor, then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:
 
 	(a)	that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) 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	
 
 	(b)	each other Guarantor waives 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 rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.	
 
-98-

23.9	Additional security	
This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.
 
23.10	Limitations with respect to CFC Entities and FSHCOs	
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Finance Document to the contrary, (i) no CFC Entity or FSHCO shall guarantee, be liable hereunder or any other Finance Document, provide credit support or collateral or otherwise be responsible for, in each case, any Loan made to, or any other obligations incurred by, any US Tax Obligor, (ii) no assets of any CFC Entity or any FSHCO and no amounts paid or payable by or on behalf of any CFC Entity or FSHCO (whether through payment, credit, setoff or otherwise), in each case, shall be used (or deemed to be used) to satisfy any of the Loans made to, or any other obligations, incurred by any US Tax Obligor and (iii) no equity interests of any CFC Entity or any FSHCO shall be pledged with respect to any Loan made to any US Tax Obligor (other than 65% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of any CFC or FSHCO directly owned by any US Tax Obligor).
 
23.11	Limitations with respect to French Borrowers	
 
 	(a)	It is acknowledged and agreed that the liabilities of any French Borrower, as joint and several obligor pursuant to Clause 16 ( Fees ), Clause 20.3 ( Indemnity to the Agent ) and Clause 22 ( Costs and Expenses ) of this Agreement, to the extent they relate to the obligations of any other Obligor (and not to the personal and direct liabilities of such French Borrower), will be applicable from and after the Merger only, and shall not:	
 
 	(i)	include any obligation or liability which, if incurred, would constitute a misuse of corporate assets pursuant to French laws and regulations, as interpreted by French courts;	
 
 	(ii)	exceed an amount equal to the aggregate of 85% of the assets (including the treasury) of such French Borrower at the time such obligation is enforced, it being understood that this limitation shall not be applicable to any obligation of such French Borrower which is a direct obligation to pay any amount under this Agreement.

In the case of any event with respect to any Obligor described in Clause 28.6 (Insolvency, bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings ), the Total Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding together with accrued interest and all other amounts accrued, or outstanding under the Finance Documents, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Obligors.
Notwithstanding the above, if after the expiry of the applicable grace periods referred to above, such Event of Default is, in the reasonable opinion of the Majority Lenders, remediable within an additional 15 days’ period (or in the case of a payment default within an additional three Business Days’ period), the Agent acting upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders, may allow an additional 15 days’ grace period (or an additional three Business Days’ grace period in the case of a payment default acting on instruction of all of the Lenders) for such Event of Default to be remedied.

SECTION 9
CHANGES TO PARTIES
 
29.	CHANGES TO THE LENDERS	
 
29.1	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders	
Subject to this Clause 29, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:
 
 	(a)	assign any of its rights; or	
 
 	(b)	transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,	
to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the “ New Lender ”).
 
29.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer	
 
 	(a)	The consent of the Company is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is:	
 
 	(i)	to another Lender, the Agent, the Issuing Bank or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; or	
 
 	(ii)	made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.	
Notwithstanding the above, no assignment, transfer, sub-participation or subcontracting in relation to a Utilisation by and/or Commitment to a Borrower established in France may be effected to a New Lender incorporated or acting through a Facility Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction without the prior consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
 	(b)	The consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company will be deemed to have given its consent 10 Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Company within that time provided that the proposed transferee or assignee is rated BBB+ or higher by S&P or Baa1 or higher by Moody’s.	
 
 	(c)	The consent of each Issuing Bank is required for any assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender of any of its rights and/or obligations under a Letter of Credit.	
 
 	(d)	An assignment will only be effective on:	
 
 	(i)	receipt by the Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and	
 
-127-

 	(ii)	performance by the Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.	
 
 	(e)	A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 29.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.	
 
 	(f)	Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.	
 
 	(g)	If:	
 
 	(i)	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents; and	
 
 	(ii)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment or transfer occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender under Clause 18 ( Tax gross up and indemnities ) or Clause 19 ( Increased Costs ),	
then the New Lender is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been if the assignment or transfer had not occurred. This paragraph (g) shall not apply:
 
 	(iii)	in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Facilities; or	
 
 	(iv)	in relation to Clause 18.2 (Tax gross-up), to a Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (g)(ii)(B) of Clause 18.2 ( Tax gross-up ) if the Obligor making the payment has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Treaty Lender.	
 
29.3	Assignment or transfer fee	
The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of $3,500.
 
-128-

29.4	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders	
 
 	(a)	Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:	
 
 	(i)	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;	
 
 	(ii)	the financial condition of any Obligor;	
 
 	(iii)	the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or	
 
 	(iv)	the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other 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 shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and	
 
 	(ii)	will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.	
 
 	(c)	Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:	
 
 	(i)	accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 29; or	
 
 	(ii)	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.	
 
29.5	Procedure for transfer	
 
 	(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer), a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.	
 
-129-

 	(b)	The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.	
 
 	(c)	Subject to Clause 29.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:	
 
 	(i)	to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents, each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the “ Discharged Rights and Obligations ”);	
 
 	(ii)	each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;	
 
 	(iii)	the Agent, the Arrangers, the New Lender and the other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Arrangers and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and	
 
 	(iv)	the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.	
 
29.6	Procedure for assignment	
 
 	(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer), an assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement.	
 
 	(b)	The Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New Lender.	
 
-130-

 	(c)	Subject to Clause 29.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:	
 
 	(i)	the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender the rights under the Finance Documents expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;	
 
 	(ii)	the Existing Lender will be released by each Obligor and the other Finance Parties from the obligations owed by it (the “ Relevant Obligations ”) and expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement; and	
 
 	(iii)	the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.	
 
 	(d)	Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 29.6 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or unless in accordance with Clause 29.5 ( Procedure for transfer ), to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 ( Conditions of assignment or transfer )).	
 
29.7	Copy of Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation to Company	
The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation, send to the Company a copy of that Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation.
 
29.8	Lien over Lenders’ rights	
In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 29, each Lender may, without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create a Lien in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:
 
 	(a)	any charge, assignment or other Lien to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and	
 
 	(b)	in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Lien granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,	
except that no such charge, assignment or Lien shall:
 
 	(i)	release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Lien for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or	
 
-131-

 	(ii)	require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.	
 
29.9	Pro rata interest settlement	
 
 	(a)	If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders, then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 29.5 ( Procedure for transfer ) or any assignment pursuant to Clause 29.6 ( Procedure for assignment ) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):	
 
 	(i)	any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (“ Accrued Amounts ”) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the next of the dates which falls at intervals of six Months after the first day of that Interest Period); and	
 
 	(ii)	the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so that, for the avoidance of doubt:	
 
 	(A)	when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable to the Existing Lender; and	
 
 	(B)	the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 29.9), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.	
 
 	(b)	In this Clause 29.9, references to “Interest Period” shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.	
 
30.	CHANGES TO THE OBLIGORS	
 
30.1	Assignments and transfer by Obligors	
No Obligor may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents.
 
30.2	Additional Borrowers	
 
 	(a)	On the Initial Availability Date, the Company shall execute the Company Accession Letter and, upon satisfaction of the other conditions precedent set forth in Part II of Schedule 2 ( Conditions Precedent ), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Clause 30.2 or Clause 30.5 ( Additional	
 
-132-

 	Guarantors), the Company shall accede to this Agreement as an Additional Borrower and an Additional Guarantor.	
 
 	(b)	Subject to compliance with the provisions of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Clause 25.6 (“Know your customer” checks ) with respect to any Additional Borrower or Proposed Additional Borrower, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, (x) the Company may at any time and at any time designate any Eligible Subsidiary as an Additional Borrower by delivery to the Agent of an Accession Letter executed by such Eligible Subsidiary and the Company and (y) the Company may propose any other Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company (a “ Proposed Additional Borrower ”) which is not an Eligible Subsidiary as an Additional Borrower by delivering an Accession Letter executed by such Proposed Additional Borrower and the Company to the Agent. As soon as practicable upon receipt of an Accession Letter, the Agent shall furnish a copy thereof to each Lender.	
 
 	(c)	The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, prior to any Proposed Additional Borrower becoming entitled to any Utilisation hereunder, all of the Lenders shall have consented to such Proposed Additional Borrower becoming an Additional Borrower (and upon such consents being received, such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Eligible Subsidiary). Any Lender that does not respond to an Accession Letter relating to any Proposed Additional Borrower within 15 Business Days after receipt of such request shall automatically be deemed to have consented to such Proposed Additional Borrower becoming an Additional Borrower (with the understanding that a response shall only be deemed to have been made by a Lender if such Lender affirmatively indicates in writing that it does or does not approve of the applicable Proposed Additional Borrower becoming an Additional Borrower).	
 
 	(d)	No Eligible Subsidiary or Proposed Additional Borrower shall be entitled to any Utilisation hereunder until (x) in the case of a Proposed Additional Borrower, the consents required pursuant to the preceding clause (c) are received and (y) the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent set forth in Part III of Schedule 2 ( Conditions Precedent ), and upon such delivery and satisfaction such Eligible Subsidiary or Proposed Additional Borrower shall for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents be an Additional Borrower and shall become a party to this Agreement. Each Additional Borrower shall remain an Additional Borrower until such Additional Borrower may resign pursuant to Section 30.3 ( Resignation of a Borrower ).	
 
 	(e)	The Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders promptly upon being satisfied that it has received (in form and substance satisfactory to it) all the documents and other evidence listed in Part III of Schedule 2 ( Conditions Precedent ).	
 
 	(f)	Other than to the extent that the Majority Lenders notify the Agent in writing to the contrary before the Agent gives the notification described in paragraph (e) above, the Lenders authorise (but do not require) the Agent to give that	
 
-133-

 	notification. The Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever as a result of giving any such notification.	
 
30.3	Resignation of a Borrower	
 
 	(a)	The Company may request that a Borrower (other than the Company and each Original Borrower) cease to be a Borrower by delivering to the Agent a Resignation Letter.	
 
 	(b)	The Agent shall accept a Resignation Letter and notify the Company and the Lenders of its acceptance if:	
 
 	(i)	no Default is continuing or would result from the acceptance of the Resignation Letter (and the Company has confirmed this is the case); and	
 
 	(ii)	such Borrower is under no actual or contingent obligations as a Borrower under any Finance Documents,	
whereupon that company shall cease to be a Borrower and shall have no further rights or obligations under the Finance Documents.
 
30.4	Repetition of Representations	
Delivery of an Accession Letter constitutes confirmation by the relevant Eligible Subsidiary that the representations and warranties hereunder which are made or are to be made by it are true and correct in relation to it as at the date of delivery as if made by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing.
 
30.5	Additional Guarantors	
Each Additional Borrower (other than any Additional Borrower subject to any limitations arising under applicable law, as determined by the Company and the Agent at the time of delivery of its Accession Letter) shall, in its Accession Letter, designate itself as an Additional Guarantor and, upon acceding to this Agreement pursuant to Clause 30.2 ( Additional Borrowers ), shall be added as a Guarantor hereto and shall for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents be a Guarantor. If any Borrower (other than the Company or any Original Borrower) ceases to be a Borrower pursuant to Clause 30.3 ( Resignation of a Borrower ), it shall also cease to be a Guarantor. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Original Guarantors nor (after the Initial Availability Date) the Company may cease to be a Guarantor hereunder.

 	(b)	No Party (other than the Agent or, as applicable, any Issuing Bank) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of the Agent or, as applicable, any Issuing Bank in respect of any claim it might have against the Agent or, as applicable, any Issuing Bank or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document, and any officer, employee or agent of the Agent or, as applicable, the Issuing Banks may rely on this Clause 31.10.	
 
 	(c)	The Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Finance Documents to be paid by the Agent if the Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Agent for that purpose.

 	(i)	any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person; or	
 
 	(ii)	any check on the extent to which any transaction contemplated by this Agreement might be unlawful for any Lender,	
on behalf of any Lender, and each Lender confirms to the Agent and the Arrangers that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or any Arranger.
 
 	(e)	Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the Agent’s liability, any liability of the Agent arising under or in	
 
-140-

 	connection with any Finance Document shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been suffered (as determined by reference to the date of default of the Agent or, if later, the date on which the loss arises as a result of such default) but without reference to any special conditions or circumstances known to the Agent at any time which increase the amount of that loss. In no event shall the Agent be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not the Agent has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.	
 
31.11	Lenders’ indemnity to the Agent	
Each Lender shall (in proportion to its share of the Total Commitments or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, to its share of the Total Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) indemnify the Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) incurred by the Agent (otherwise than by reason of the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) (or, in the case of any cost, loss or liability pursuant to Clause 34.11 ( Disruption to payment systems etc. ), notwithstanding the Agent’s negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever, but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent) in acting as Agent under the Finance Documents (unless the Agent has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document).
 
31.12	Resignation of the Agent	
 
 	(a)	The Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates as successor by giving notice to the Lenders and the Company.	
 
 	(b)	Alternatively the Agent may resign by giving 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Company, in which case the Majority Lenders (after consultation with the Company) may appoint a successor Agent, which shall not be incorporated or acting through an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.	
 
 	(c)	The Company may, on no less than 30 days’ prior notice to the Agent, require the Lenders to replace the Agent and appoint a replacement Agent if any amount payable under a Finance Document by an Obligor established in France becomes not deductible from that Obligor’s taxable income for French tax purposes by reason of that amount (i) being paid or accrued to an Agent incorporated or acting through an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or (ii) paid to an account opened in the name of that Agent in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. In this case, the Agent shall resign and a replacement Agent shall be appointed by the Majority Lenders (after consultation with the Company) within 30 days after notice of replacement was given.	
 
 	(d)	If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above within 20 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Agent (after consultation with the Company) may appoint a successor Agent.	
 
-141-

 	(e)	If the Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate for it to remain as agent and the Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Agent under paragraph (c) above, the Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Agent) agree with the proposed successor Agent amendments to this Clause 31 and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees together with any reasonable amendments to the agency fee payable under this Agreement which are consistent with the successor Agent’s normal fee rates and those amendments will bind the Parties.	
 
 	(f)	The retiring Agent shall make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents. The Company shall, within three Business Days of demand, reimburse the retiring Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) properly incurred by it in making available such documents and records and providing such assistance.	
 
 	(g)	The Agent’s resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor.

Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.	
 
 	(i)	The Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (b) above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) above) if on or after the date which is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Agent under the Finance Documents, either:	
 
 	(i)	the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 18.8 (FATCA Information) and a Lender reasonably believes that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;	
 
 	(ii)	the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 18.8 (FATCA Information) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or	
 
-142-

 	(iii)	the Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;	
and (in each case) a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and that Lender, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign.
 
31.13	Replacement of the Agent	
 
 	(a)	After consultation with the Company, the Majority Lenders may, by giving 30 days’ notice to the Agent (or, at any time the Agent is an Impaired Agent, by giving any shorter notice determined by the Majority Lenders) replace the Agent by appointing a successor Agent.	
 
 	(b)	The retiring Agent shall (at its own cost if it is an Impaired Agent and otherwise at the expense of the Lenders) make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.	
 
 	(c)	The appointment of the successor Agent shall take effect on the date specified in the notice from the Majority Lenders to the retiring Agent. As from this date, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph (b) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 20.3 ( Indemnity to the Agent ) and this Clause 31 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).	
 
 	(d)	Any successor Agent and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.	
 
31.14	Confidentiality	
 
 	(a)	In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, the Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments.	
 
 	(b)	If information is received by another division or department of the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.	
 
31.15	Relationship with the Lenders	
 
 	(a)	Subject to Clause 29.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), the Agent may treat the person shown in its records as Lender at the opening of business (in the place of the Agent’s principal office as notified to the Finance Parties at any time) as the Lender acting through its Facility Office:	
 
-143-

 	(i)	entitled to or liable for any payment due under any Finance Document on that day; and	
 
 	(ii)	entitled to receive and act upon any notice, request, document or communication or make any decision or determination under any Finance Document made or delivered on that day,	
unless it has received not less than five Business Days’ prior notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
 	(b)	Any Lender may by notice to the Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications, information and documents to be made or despatched to that Lender under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address, fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under Clause 36.6 ( Electronic communication )) electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the transmission of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to be made) and be treated as a notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address (or such other information), department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 36.2 ( Addresses ) and paragraph (a)(ii) of Clause 36.6 ( Electronic communication ) and the Agent shall be entitled to treat such person as the person entitled to receive all such notices, communications, information and documents as though that person were that Lender.	
 
 	(c)	If the Agent is an Impaired Agent, the Parties may, instead of communicating with each other through the Agent, communicate with each other directly and (while the Agent is an Impaired Agent) all the provisions of the Finance Documents which require communications to be made or notices to be given to or by the Agent shall be varied so that communications may be made and notices given to or by the relevant Parties directly. This provision shall not operate after a replacement Agent has been appointed.	
 
31.16	Credit appraisal by the Lenders and the Issuing Bank	
Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender and each Issuing Bank confirms to the Agent, the Arrangers and the Issuing Banks that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document, including but not limited to:
 
 	(a)	the financial condition, status and nature of each member of the Group;	
 
 	(b)	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document;	
 
-144-

 	(c)	whether that Lender has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; and	
 
 	(d)	the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the Information Memorandum and any other information provided by the Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document.	
 
31.17	Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent	
If any Party owes an amount to the Agent under the Finance Documents, the Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents, that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted.
 
31.18	Role of Reference Banks	
 
 	(a)	No Reference Bank is under any obligation to provide a quotation or any other information to the Agent.	
 
 	(b)	No Reference Bank will be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with any Finance Document unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.	
 
 	(c)	No Party (other than the relevant Reference Bank) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of any Reference Bank in respect of any claim it might have against that Reference Bank or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document, and any officer, employee or agent of each Reference Bank may rely on this Clause 31.18, subject to Clause 1.4 ( Third Party Rights ) and the provisions of the Third Parties Act.	
 
 	(d)	A Reference Bank which is not a Party may rely on this Clause 31.18, Clause 40.4 (Other exceptions) and Clause 42 ( Confidentiality of Funding Rates ), subject to Clause 1.4 ( Third Party Rights ) and the provisions of the Third Parties Act.	
 
32.	CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY THE FINANCE PARTIES

 	(i)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Agent;	
 
 	(ii)	the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 34 ( Payment Mechanics ), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and	
 
 	(iii)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the “ Sharing Payment ”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 34.6 ( Partial Payments ).	
 
 	(b)	Paragraph (a) above shall not apply to any amount received or recovered by an Issuing Bank in respect of any cash cover provided for the benefit of that Issuing Bank.	
 
33.2	Redistribution of payments	
The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the “ Sharing Finance Parties ”) in accordance with Clause 34.6 ( Partial payments ) towards the obligations of that Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties.
 
33.3	Recovering Finance Party’s rights	
On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 33.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor, as between the relevant Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

 	(b)	as between the relevant Obligor and each relevant Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.	
 
33.5	Exceptions

 	(i)	it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and	
 
 	(ii)	that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

34.1	Payments to the Agent	
 
 	(a)	On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.	
 
 	(b)	Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in a principal financial centre in such Participating Member State or London, as specified by the Agent) other than a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, and with such bank as the Agent, in each case, specifies.	
 
34.2	Distributions by the Agent	
Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 34.3 ( Distributions to an Obligor ) and Clause 34.4 ( Clawback and pre-funding ) be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank specified by that Party in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London, as specified by that Party) other than a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.
 
34.3	Distributions to an Obligor	
The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 35 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.
 
34.4	Clawback and pre-funding	
 
 	(a)	Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.	
 
 	(b)	Unless paragraph (c) below applies, if the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to	
 
-148-

 	the Agent, together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.	
 
 	(c)	If the Agent is willing to make available amounts for the account of a Borrower before receiving funds from the Lenders, then if and to the extent that the Agent does so but it proves to be the case that it does not then receive funds from a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to a Borrower:	
 
 	(i)	the Borrower to whom that sum was made available shall on demand refund it to the Agent; and	
 
 	(ii)	the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if that Lender fails to do so, the Borrower to whom that sum was made available, shall on demand pay to the Agent the amount (as certified by the Agent) which will indemnify the Agent against any funding cost incurred by it as a result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from that Lender.	
 
34.5	Impaired Agent	
 
 	(a)	If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent in accordance with Clause 34.1 ( Payments to the Agent ) may instead either:	
 
 	(i)	pay that amount directly to the required recipient(s); or	
 
 	(ii)	if in its absolute discretion it considers that it is not reasonably practicable to pay that amount directly to the required recipient(s), pay that amount or the relevant part of that amount to an interest-bearing account held with a bank or financial institution and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Lender making the payment (the “ Paying Party ”) and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents (the “ Recipient Party ” or “ Recipient Parties ”).	
In each case such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.
 
 	(b)	All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of the Recipient Party or the Recipient Parties pro rata to their respective entitlements.	
 
 	(c)	A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 34.5 shall be discharged of the relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the trust account.	
 
 	(d)	Promptly upon the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 31.13 (Replacement of the Agent ), each Paying Party shall (other than	
 
-149-

 	to the extent that that Party has given an instruction pursuant to paragraph (e) below) give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with any accrued interest) to the successor Agent for distribution to the relevant Recipient Party or Recipient Parties in accordance with Clause 34.2 ( Distributions by the Agent ).	
 
 	(e)	A Paying Party shall, promptly upon request by a Recipient Party and to the extent:	
 
 	(i)	that it has not given an instruction pursuant to paragraph (d) above; and	
 
 	(ii)	that it has been provided with the necessary information by that Recipient Party,	
give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the relevant amount (together with any accrued interest) to that Recipient Party.
 
34.6	Partial payments	
 
 	(a)	Subject to Clause 8.10 (Partial payments – Swingline Facility), if the Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under the Finance Documents, the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the following order:	
 
 	(i)	first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid amount owing to the Agent or the Issuing Banks (other than any amount under Clause 9.2 ( Claims under a Letter of Credit ) or, to the extent relating to the reimbursement of a claim (as defined in Clause 9 ( Letters of Credit ), Clause 9.3 ( Indemnities )) under the Finance Documents;	
 
 	(ii)	secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under this Agreement;	
 
 	(iii)	thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under this Agreement and any amount due but unpaid under Clauses 9.2 ( Claims under a Letter of Credit ) and 9.3 ( Indemnities ); and	
 
 	(iv)	fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents.	
 
 	(b)	The Agent shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, vary the order set out in paragraphs (a)(ii) to (iv) above.

 	(i)	any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Agent (after consultation with the Company); and	
 
 	(ii)	any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent (acting reasonably).	
 
-151-

 	(b)	If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Company) specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the Relevant Market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

 	(e)	the 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 Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this Clause 34.11; and

 	(a)	its Commitment(s) shall not be included for the purpose of calculating the Total Commitments under the Facility when ascertaining whether any relevant percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of Total Commitments has been obtained to approve that request; and

 	(b)	its status as a Lender shall be disregarded for the purpose of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve that request.	
 
40.8	Replacement of a Defaulting Lender

40.9	Extension Option	
 
 	(a)	The Company may at any time from time to time (but on no more than two occasions), not more than 90 days and not less than 30 days prior to any anniversary of the Initial Availability Date, by notice to the Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), request that each Lender extend (each such date on which an extension occurs, an “ Extension Date ”) such Lender’s Maturity Date to the date that is one (1) year after the Maturity Date then in effect for such Lender.	
 
 	(b)	Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Agent given not later than the date that is 15 Business Days after the date on which the Agent received the Company’s extension request (the “ Lender Notice Date ”), advise the Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender that determines to so extend its Maturity Date, an “ Extending Lender ”). Each Lender that determines not to so extend its Maturity Date (a “ Non-Extending Lender ”) shall notify the Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Notice Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Agent on or before the Lender Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Company for extension of the Maturity Date.	
 
 	(c)	The Agent shall promptly notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under paragraph (b) above.

-159-

 	Commitment (and, if any such New Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date). Prior to any Non-Extending Lender being replaced by one or more New Lenders pursuant hereto, such Non-Extending Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, by giving irrevocable notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrowers (which notice shall set forth such Lender’s new Maturity Date), to become an Extending Lender. The Agent may effect such amendments to this Agreement as are reasonably necessary to provide for any such extensions with the consent of the Company but without the consent of any other Lenders.	
 
 	(e)	If (and only if) the Majority Lenders have agreed to extend the Maturity Date provided for pursuant to this Clause 40.9, then, effective as of the applicable Extension Date, the Maturity Date of each Extending Lender and of each applicable New Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the Existing Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each applicable New Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder. For purposes of clarity, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Maturity Date on any date of determination shall not be a date more than five years after such date of determination, whether such determination is made before or after giving effect to any extension request made hereunder.	
 
 	(f)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no more than two (2) extensions of the Maturity Date shall be permitted hereunder and (y) any extension of any Maturity Date pursuant to this Clause 40.9 shall not be effective with respect to any Extending Lender unless:	
 
 	(i)	no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the applicable Extension Date and immediately after giving effect thereto;	
 
 	(ii)	the Repeating Representations of the Obligors set forth in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the applicable Extension Date and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, as of such earlier date); and	
 
 	(iii)	the Agent shall have received a certificate dated as of the applicable Extension Date from each Obligor signed by a Responsible Officer of such Obligor (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Obligor approving or consenting to such extension.	
 
 	(g)	On the Maturity Date of each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate and (ii) the Borrowers shall repay such Non-Extending Lender in accordance with Clause 11 ( Repayment ) (and shall pay to such Non-Extending Lender all of the other obligations owing to it under this Agreement) and after giving effect	
 
-160-

 	thereto shall repay any amount outstanding under any Letter of Credit and prepay any Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Clause 15.4 ( Break Costs )) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Loans ratable with the revised proportion of each Extending Lender’s Available Revolving Facility Commitment to the Available Revolving Facility as of such date, and the Agent shall administer any necessary reallocation of each Extending Lender’s participation in any outstanding Utilisations (without regard to any minimum borrowing requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement).	
 
 	(h)	This Clause 40.9 (Extension Option) shall supersede any other provisions in this Clause 40 or Clause 33 ( Sharing among the Finance Parties ) to the contrary.	
 
40.10	Amendments and Waivers of Sanctions Provisions	
In connection with any amendment, waiver, determination or direction relating to any Sanctions Provision with respect to which a Restricted Lender does not have the benefit pursuant to Clause 45 ( Anti-Boycott Regulations ), the Commitment of that Restricted Lender and the Revolving Facility Loans, participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans of that Restricted Lender will be excluded for the purpose of determining whether the consent of the Majority Lenders to such amendment or waiver has been obtained or whether the determination or direction by the Majority Lenders has been made.
