is otherwise compensated for under another clause to this Agreement.

The Recipient must promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

(i)

the relevant Loan Agreement;

(ii)

the Subordination Agreement; and

(iii)

this Clause 23 (Changes to Lenders).

23.2	Procedure for Assignment or Transfer

(a)

Subject to Clause 23.1 (Assignments and Transfers by the Lenders) and the relevant Loan Agreement, an assignment will only be effective on receipt by the Global Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender, such confirmation to be in the form set out in Schedule 4 (Form of Accession Letter), that the New Lender will be bound by the obligations of the Finance Documents and will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it were an Original Lender.

(b)

Subject to Clause 23.1 (Assignments and Transfers by the Lenders) and the relevant Loan Agreement, a transfer will only be effective on:

(i)

receipt by the Global Agent of a Transfer Certificate, together with duly executed accession documents, pursuant to which the New Lender has acceded to such other documents as are necessary to enable the New Lender to assume all of the rights and obligations of the Lender under the Finance Documents;


		68

(ii)

execution by the Global Agent of the Transfer Certificate, which it shall execute as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt 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; and

(iii)

receipt of the consent of the Company for an assignment or transfer by a Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is to another existing Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Default has occurred and is continuing and provided that:

(A)

the consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

(B)

the Company will be deemed to have given its consent seven (7) days after the Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Company within that time; and

(C)

the consent of the Company to an assignment or transfer must not be withheld solely because the assignment or transfer may result in an increase to the Mandatory Cost.

(c)

If:

(i)

a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(ii)

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Company would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 11.1 (Gross-up) or Clause 11.2 (Tax Indemnity) or Clause 12 (Increased Costs),

		69

(d)

On the Transfer Date:

(i)

to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Lender transfers by novation any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents, the Company and the Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another in respect of such rights and obligations under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

(ii)

the Company 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 the Company and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Company and the Lender;

(iii)

the New Lender and the other Finance Parties 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 Lender and the other Parties hereto shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

(ii)

will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Major Project Party and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Available Commitment under any Loan Agreement is in force.

(i)

accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 234 (Changes to the Lenders); or

(i)

deduct from any amount received by it for that Finance Party any amount due to the Global Agent from that Finance Party under a Finance Document but unpaid; and

29.2	Distributions by the Global Agent

Each payment received by the Global Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 29.3(Clawback), be made available as soon as practicable after receipt by the Global Agent to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with the Finance Documents (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Global Agent by not less than seven (7) days notice.

Clawback

(a)

Where a sum is to be paid to a Global Agent under the relevant Finance Documents for the account of another Lender, Participant or KfW, the Global Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that Person (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)

If the Global Agent pays an amount to such Person and it proves to be the case that the Global Agent had not actually received that amount, then such Person to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Global Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Global Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Global Agent, calculated by the Global Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

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 Global Agent (acting reasonably).

(b)

If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Global Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the relevant interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

If the Global Agent makes any payment to any person in respect of a Liability incurred as a result of taking or not taking any action under this Clause 29.9 (Disruption to payment systems), the amount of that payment is an amount in respect of which each Lender must indemnify the Global Agent for that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Liability incurred by the Global Agent under this Clause 29.9 (Disruption to payment systems) (unless the Global Agent has been reimbursed by the Company under a Finance Document) unless such payment was made as a result of the Global Agent’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SCHEDULE 5

HIV Protective Measures

(Adopted from ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the World of Work – Key principles)

The following principles are part of the International Labor Organization’s Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the World of Work. The code is voluntary and meant for use by the private sector in the development of workplace policies and guidelines.

HIV/AIDS is a workplace issue, not only because it affects the workforce, but also because the workplace can play a vital role in limiting the spread and effects of the epidemic.

Non-Discrimination - There should be no discrimination or stigmatization against workers on the basis of real or perceived HIV status.

Gender equality - More equal gender relations and the empowerment of women are vital to preventing the spread of HIV infection and enabling women to cope with HIV/AIDS.

Healthy work Environment - The work environment should be healthy and safe, and adapted to the state of health and capabilities of workers.

Social Dialogue - A successful HIV/AIDS policy and program requires cooperation, trust and dialogue between employers, workers, and governments.

Screening for purposes of employment - HIV/AIDS screening should not be required of job applicants or persons in employment, and testing for HIV should not be carried out at the workplace except as specified in this code.

Confidentiality - Access to personal data relating to a worker’s HIV status should be bound by the rules of confidentiality consistent with existing ILO codes of practice.

Continuing the employment relationship - HIV infection is not a cause for termination of employment. Persons with HIV-related illnesses should be able to work for as long as medically fit in appropriate conditions.

Prevention - The social partners are in a unique position to promote prevention efforts through information and education; and support changes in attitudes and behaviour.

Care and Support - Solidarity, care and support should guide the response to AIDS in the workplace. All workers are entitled to affordable health services and to benefits from statutory and occupational schemes.

SCHEDULE 12

Calculation of the Mandatory Cost

1	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with:

the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions); or

the requirements of the European Central Bank.

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Global Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Global Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Global Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Global Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

4	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Global Agent as follows:


E × 0.01				per cent. per annum.
300				per cent. per annum.

Where:

E: is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Global Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Global Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5	For the purposes of this Schedule:

“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;


		121

“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

If requested by the Global Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Global Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

7	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Global Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

any other information that the Global Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Global Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
