the Finance Party shall pay an amount to that Borrower, as soon as reasonably practicable, which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by that Borrower.

13.5

Each Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand) indemnify each Secured Party against, and shall pay to the relevant Secured Party, any cost, loss or liability that Secured Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

13.6

Value added tax

13.6.1

All amounts set out or expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any amounts in respect of VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to Clause 13.6.2, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to that Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Finance Party shall provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party as soon as reasonably practicable).

13.6.2

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):

(a)

(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. The Recipient must (where this Clause 13.6.2(a) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant Tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(b)

(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to a credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

13.6.3

Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any costs or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant Tax authority.

13.6.4

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.

13.7

not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(b)

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

(c)

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.

13.7.2

If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to Clause 13.7.1(a) 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.

13.7.3

Clause 13.7.1 shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and Clause 13.7.1(c) shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(a)

any law or regulation;

(b)

any fiduciary duty; or

(c)

any duty of confidentiality.

13.7.4

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 Clause 13.7.1(a) or (b) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where Clause 13.7.3 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.

13.8

FATCA Deduction

13.8.1

Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

13.8.2

Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Company and the Lender and the Lender shall notify the other Finance Parties.

(b)

a US Qualifying Finance Party.

13.9.3

If a Lender fails to indicate its status in respect of a US Tax Obligor in accordance with Clauses 13.9.1 or 13.9.2 above (as applicable) then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by the relevant Obligor) as if it is not a US Qualifying Finance Party until such time as it notifies the Company which category applies. For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement, or other such document shall not invalidated by any failure of a Finance Party to comply with this Clause 13.9.

GUARANTEE

18.	Guarantee and Indemnity

18.1	Guarantee and indemnity

Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally:

18.1.1

guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Obligor of all that Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents;

18.1.2

undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Obligor 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

18.1.3

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 an Obligor 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 18 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

18.2	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.

18.3	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 18 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

18.4	Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 18 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 18, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 18 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:

18.4.1

any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

18.4.2

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;

18.4.3

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;

18.4.4

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;

18.4.5

any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;

18.4.6

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

18.4.7

any insolvency or similar proceedings.

18.5	Guarantor intent

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 18.4 (Waiver of defences), each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

18.6	Immediate recourse

Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 18. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

18.7	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:

18.7.1

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

18.7.2

hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 18.

18.8	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 Lender otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have 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 18:

18.8.1

to be indemnified by an Obligor;

18.8.2

to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents;

18.8.3

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;

18.8.4

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 18.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);

18.8.5

to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or

18.8.6

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 Lender or as the Lender may direct for application in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment Mechanics).

18.9	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:

18.9.1

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

18.9.2

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.

18.10

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.

18.11

US Guarantee Limitations

Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Clause 18 or any other term in this Agreement or any other Finance Document, if at any time after the date of a Security Document, the relevant security provider or Guarantor under the Security Document notifies the Lender that the guarantee or a pledge of or security interest in the equity interests or other assets which are the subject of Transaction Security under a Security Document has a material adverse US tax implication on any member of the Group (including its ability to conduct its operations and business as otherwise not prohibited by the Finance Documents) under Section 956 of the Code as a result of any member of the Group entering into any transaction which is not prohibited under the terms of the Finance Document or as a result of any change in or re-enactment of (or in the interpretation, administration, implementation or application of) any law or regulation existing as at or after the date of this Agreement or the introduction of any new law or regulation occurring after the date of this Agreement, each Lender irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to enter into good faith discussions (acting reasonably) with the Obligors (or the Company on their behalf) with a view to agreeing to discharge any guarantees or release any Transaction Security under any Finance Documents and to enter into such documentation as is required by that security provider or the relevant Guarantor in order to effect such release or discharge to the extent necessary to eliminate such material adverse US tax implication in its entirety.

18.12

Guarantee Limitations – South Africa

This guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent it would result in a breach of the approvals obtained from the Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank obtained for this guarantee as it relates to Guarantors that are subject to exchange control regulation in South Africa provided those approvals have been disclosed to and approved by the Lender pursuant to Clause 4.1 (Initial conditions precedent) or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

18.13

Guarantee Limitations – Germany

18.13.1

Scope of application

(a)

To the extent that the guarantee and indemnity created under this Clause 18 (the Guarantee) is granted by a Guarantor incorporated in Germany as a limited liability company (GmbH) (a German Guarantor) and relates to obligations of a direct or indirect shareholder of the German Guarantor or Subsidiaries of such shareholders (except where such entity is, at the same time, a Subsidiary of the German Guarantor), the Guarantee of the German Guarantor shall be subject to certain limitations as set out in the following paragraphs of this Clause 18.13.

(b)

If and to the extent that the German Guarantor guarantees amounts, which are owed under the Finance Documents by any of its (direct or indirect) Subsidiaries (other than under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and Indemnity) and subject to paragraph (c)(ii) below) an enforcement of this Guarantee shall not be limited.

(c)

The limitations under this Clause 18.13 do not apply

(i)

if the German Guarantor is insolvent at the time of the enforcement of the Guarantee and insolvency proceedings have been opened against the assets of the German Guarantor and, if, as a consequence thereof, there is no longer any liability risk of the acting managing director of the German Guarantor;

(ii)

to any amounts which correspond to funds that have been borrowed under this Agreement and have been on-lent to, or otherwise been passed on to, the relevant German Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent that any such on-lent or passed-on amount is still out-standing at the date demand under the Guarantee is made or bank guarantees or letters of credit that are issued for the benefit of any of the creditors of the German Guarantor or the German Guarantor’s Subsidiaries or any other benefit granted under this Agreement;

(iii)

if the relevant German Guarantor does not provide the Management Determination (as defined in Clause 18.13.5) or Auditor’s Determination (as defined in Clause 18.13.5(a)) or does not comply with its obligations pursuant to Clause 18.13.6 Unrealised gains (Stille Reserven);

(iv)

if and to the extent the German Guarantor holds a fully recoverable loss compensation claim (vollwärtiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähr-anspruch) against its (direct or indirect) shareholder taking into account Clause 18.8 (Deferral of Guarantors’ rights);

(v)

if and as long as the German Guarantor is subject to a domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement (either directly or through a chain of such agreements) pursuant to Section 291 AktG on the date of the enforcement of the Guarantee as dominated company with (x) an Obligor as dominating company or (y) a direct or indirect Holding Company of an Obligor, unless the relevant German Guarantor provides a final judgment (rechtskräftiges Urteil) of a Higher Regional Court (Oberlandesgericht) or a judgment of the Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof) setting out that (A) the mere existence of a profit transfer and/or domination agreement is no reason not to apply section 30 of the German Act on Companies with Limited Liabilities (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbHG) and (B) the unlimited enforcement of cross or upstream guarantees/security without a fully recoverable loss compensation claim against the shareholders would result in a violation of section 30 paragraph 1 GmbHG (it being understood that such judgement may also be obtained in a dispute over this Guarantee); or

(vi)

the limitations are not required to avoid a personal liability of the managing director of a German Guarantor pursuant to section 43 paragraph 3 GmbHG in connection with sections 30, 31 GmbHG or section 43 GmbHG in relation to the enforcement of the Guarantee.

18.13.2

Negative Equity (Unterbilanz)

Each Finance Party agrees that the enforcement of the Guarantee given by a German Guarantor shall be limited if and to the extent the German Guarantor demonstrates that such enforcement would reduce the German Guarantor’s net assets (Nettorvermögen) (the Net Assets) to an amount less than its stated share capital (Stammkapital) or (if its Net Assets are already lower than its stated share capital) causing such amount to be further reduced, and thereby affects the German Guaran-tor’s assets which are required for the obligatory preservation of its stated share capital according to section 30 GmbHG (a Capital Impairment).

18.13.3

Net Assets

The value of the Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the same accounting principles (Bilanzierungsgrundsätze) consistently applied by the German Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss) according to section 42 GmbHG, sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous years, save that

(a)

the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Stammkapital) of the German Guarantor registered after the date such German Guarantor became a Party to this Agreement shall not be taken into account unless such increase has been effected with the prior written consent of the Lenders;

(b)

loans provided to the German Guarantor by a member of the Group or a direct or indirect shareholder of the Company which are (or would be in case of an insolvency) subordinated pursuant to section 39 para. 1 no. 5 or section 39 para. 2 of the German Insolvency Act (Insolvenzordnung) shall be disregarded, in each case to the extent that the corresponding claims resulting from these loans can be waived by the creditor of the claim or the claims could be contributed to the capital reserves of the relevant German Guarantor without this (i) violating this Agreement or the other Finance Documents and (ii) entailing a personal liability of the managing director of the relevant creditor resulting from a violation of section 30 paragraph 1 GmbHG; and

(c)

any loans or similar liabilities of the German Guarantor incurred in violation of any of the provisions of the Finance Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.

18.13.4

Management Determination

The relevant German Guarantor shall provide a written substantiated confirmation to the Agent within 15 (fifteen) Business Days following a Lender’s demand under the Guarantee to what extent the demanded payment would lead to the occurrence of a Capital Impairment (the Management Determination).

18.13.5

Auditor’s Determination

(a)

If the Lenders disagree with the Management Determination, the Lenders shall be entitled to enforce the Guarantee up to the between the Lenders and the German Guarantor undisputed amount. In relation to the disputed amount the German Guarantor shall, in consultation with the Lenders, within ten (10) Business days following the refusal of the Management Determination by the Lenders, instruct (at its own cost and expense) its auditors or a firm of auditors of international standing and reputation as agreed with the Lenders (the Auditor) to determine within 30 Business Days

(i)

the amount of the Net Assets of the German Guarantor taking into account the adjustments mentioned in Clause 18.13.3 (Net Assets) above; and

(ii)

to what extent the demanded payment would lead to the occurrence of a Capital Impairment

(the Auditor’s Determination).

(b)

If the Lenders and the German Guarantor do not agree on an Auditor within ten business days following refusal of the Management Determination by the Lenders, the Lenders shall be entitled to instruct an Auditor in their own discretion and at the own cost and expenses of the German Guarantor.

(c)

The amounts determined in the Auditor’s Determination shall be (except for manifest error) binding for all Parties.

18.13.6

Unrealised gains (Stille Reserven)

If the German Guarantor explains that the payment under the Guarantee would lead to a Capital Impairment, the German Guarantor shall realise (i) at a value that is not significantly lower than the market value, any of its assets that are not necessary for its business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) and are shown in its balance sheet with a book value and (ii), in relation to operating assets (betriebsnotwendige Vermögensge genstände) any unrealised gains e.g. by way a sale-and-lease back, to the extent necessary to fulfil its obligations under the Finance Documents.

18.13.7

Improvement of financial conditions

If, after the Lenders have been provided with an Auditors’ Determination which prevented them from demanding any or only partial payment under this Guarantee, the Lenders ascertain in good faith that the financial condition of the relevant German Guarantor as set out in the Auditors’ Determination substantially has improved (in particular, if the relevant German Guarantor has taken any action in accordance with the mitigation provisions set out in Clause 18.13.5), the Lenders may, at the relevant German Guarantor’s cost and expense, arrange for the preparation of an updated balance sheet of the relevant German Guarantor by applying the same principles that were used for the preparation of the Auditors’ Determination by the Auditors who prepared the Auditors’ Determination in order for such auditors to determine whether (and, if so, to what extent) the Capital Impairment has been cured as a result of the improvement of the financial condition of the relevant German Guarantor. The Lenders may consequently demand payment under this Guarantee to the extent that the auditors determine that the Capital Impairment has been cured.

18.13.8

No waiver

No reduction of the amount enforceable pursuant to this Clause 18.13 will prejudice the right of the Finance Parties to continue to enforce the Guarantee (subject always to the operation of the limitations set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction of the claims guaranteed and the Finance Parties may claim in court that the position of this Guarantee or its enforcement does not fall within the scope of Section 30 GmbHG. The agreement of the Finance Parties to abstain from demanding any or part of the payment under this Guarantee in accordance with the provisions above shall not constitute a waiver (Verzicht) of any right granted under this Agreement or any other Finance Document to any Finance Party.

If, as at a Measurement Date, the Company calculates that any requirement of Clauses 21.1.1 or 21.1.2 (Undertakings in relation to financial condition) (each a Relevant Financial Undertaking) is not met, the Company may treat (solely for the purpose of measuring compliance with the Relevant Financial Undertaking under this Clause, and not for any other purpose) a Cure Amount received and paid to the Lender in accordance with Clause 21.4 (Cure Amounts - mandatory prepayment) within the applicable Cure Period, by way of a notional adjustment, as follows:

in relation to the Covenant Group Net Leverage Ratio, as a reduction of Consolidated Total Net Borrowings by an equivalent amount at the relevant Measurement Date; and

(b)

in relation to the Covenant Group Interest Cover Ratio, as giving rise to a reduction in Consolidated Total Finance Costs in the amount by which Consolidated Total Finance Costs would have been reduced if the Loans and had been repaid (pro rata across all Facilities) in an amount equal to the Cure Amount on the date which falls 12 months before the applicable Measurement Date.

(b)

the recalculations of all Relevant Financial following the payment of the Cure Amount in accordance with Clause 21.4 (Cure Amounts - mandatory prepayment) and the application of Clauses 21.3.2 and 21.3.3.

21.3.5

If, following payment to the Lender of a Cure Amount and a recalculation of the Relevant Financial Undertakings, as contemplated under Clause 21.3.4(b), the Relevant Financial Undertakings are met, the requirements of Clause 21.1 (Undertakings in relation to financial condition) will be deemed to have been satisfied, retrospectively on the relevant Measurement Date, and any Default which arose under Clause 21 (Financial Covenants) as a result of the original failure to comply shall be deemed to have been remedied.

(c)

to a fund which is a Related Fund of that Existing Lender; or

(d)

at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.

24.2.2

Where the consent of the Company to a Transfer is required that consent must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

If:

the Lender Transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents; and

(b)

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the Transfer or change occurs, the Company would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender under Clause 13 (Tax Gross-up and Indemnities) or Clause 14 (Increased Costs),

then, unless the Transfer is made by a Lender in order to mitigate in accordance with Clause 16 (Mitigation by the Lender) any circumstances giving rise to the Tax Payment, Increased Cost or a right to be prepaid and/or cancelled by reason of illegality, 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 Transfer or change had not occurred.

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(b)

will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of the relevant Borrower and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

24.3.3

(a)

accept a re-Transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations Transferred under this Clause 24; or

(c)

the Lender, the Arranger and the New Lender shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Transaction Security 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 Lender, the Arranger and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

35.3	Rights and remedies

35.3.1

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Finance Party, any right or remedy under the Finance Documents shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

	(b)	may be exercised as often as the Finance Party requires;

	(c)	may be waived only in writing and specifically.

	If, at any time, any provision of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid, unenforceable or inoperable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity, enforceability or operation of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity, enforceability or operation of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.
