Definitions

In this Agreement:

“Tax Credit” means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of, any Tax.

“Tax Payment” means either the increase in a payment made by an Obligor to a Finance Party under Clause 4.2 (Tax indemnity).

Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Clause 4 a reference to “determines” or “determined” means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination.

Tax indemnity

Plateau shall (within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party) pay to that Finance Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Finance Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Finance Party in respect of a Finance Document.

Paragraph 4.2.1 above shall not apply with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:

under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

A Finance Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph 4.2.1 above shall promptly notify Plateau of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

Tax Credit

a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required;and

that Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

Stamp taxes

Value added taxes

Any amount payable under a Finance Document by an Obligor is exclusive of any value added tax or any other Tax of a similar nature which might be chargeable in connection with a supply made in respect of that amount. If any such Tax is chargeable on any supply made by a Finance Party to an Obligor under a Finance Document, the Obligor must, upon presentation of a valid invoice, pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the relevant amount) an amount equal to the amount of that Tax.

Where a Finance Document requires an Obligor to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, the Obligor must also at the same time pay and indemnify the Finance Party against all value added tax or any other Tax of a similar nature incurred by the Finance Party in respect of those costs or expenses, but only to the extent that the Finance Party is not entitled to a credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the Tax.

INCREASED COSTS

Increased costs

Subject to Clause 5.3 (Exceptions) Plateau shall, within three Business Days of a demand by the Lender, pay for the account of a Lender the amount of any Increased Costs incurred by the Lender or any of its Affiliates as a result of (i) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement.

In this Agreement “Increased Costs” means an additional or increased cost which is incurred or suffered by the Lender or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to the Lender funding or performing its obligations under any Finance Document.

Increased cost claims

If the Lender intends to make a claim pursuant to Clause 19.1 it shall notify Plateau of the event giving rise to the claim.

The Lender shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by Plateau, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Costs and the basis for its claim of Increased Costs.

Exceptions

Clause 5.1 (Increased costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is:

attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by Plateau;

compensated for by Clause 4.2 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under Clause 4.2 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in paragraph 4.2.2 of Clause 4.2 (Tax indemnity) applied); or

attributable to the wilful breach of or non compliance with, any law or regulation by the Lender or its Affiliates.

In this Clause 5.3 reference to a “Tax Deduction” has the same meaning given to the term in Clause 4.1 (Definitions)

making or filing a claim or proof against that Obligor;or

obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings,

Plateau shall within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability incurred by it as a result of:

the occurrence of any Event of Default;

a failure by an Obligor to pay any amount due under a Finance Document on its due date,

Indemnity to the Security Agent,the Opco Security SPV and the Plateau Security SPV

Each Obligor shall promptly indemnify the Security Agent, the Plateau Security SPV, the Opco Security SPV and every Delegate against any cost, loss or liability incurred by any of them (save if due to the gross negligence or wilful acts or omissions of the Security Agent, the Opco Security SPV, the Plateau Security SPV or a Delegate) as a result of:

the taking, holding, protection or enforcement of the Transaction Security,

the exercise of any of the rights, powers, discretions and remedies vested in the Security Agent, the Plateau Security SPV and each Delegate by the Finance Documents or by law; and

GOVERNING LAW

Clause 17.1 is for the benefit of the Finance Parties only. As a result, no Finance Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to any matter arising from the Finance Documents in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Finance Parties may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions

GENERAL

The Finance Documents contain the entire agreement between the Parties in regard to the subject matter thereof.

No Party shall be bound by or have any claim or right of action arising from any express or implied term, undertaking, representation, warranty, promise or the like not included or recorded in a Finance Document whether it induced the contract and/or whether it was negligent or not

No variation, amendment or consensual cancellation of a Finance Document or any provision or term and no extension of time, waiver or relaxation or suspension of any of the provisions or terms of a Finance Document shall be binding or have any force and effect unless reduced to writing and signed by or on behalf of the relevant parties thereto and the Lender. Any such extension, waiver or relaxation or suspension which is so given or made shall be construed as relating strictly to the matter in respect whereof it was made or given.

No extension of time or waiver or relaxation of any of the provisions or terms of a Finance Document shall operate as an estoppel against another Party in respect of its rights under this Agreement.

No failure by either Party to enforce any provision of a Finance Document shall constitute a waiver of such provision or affect in any way such Party’s right to require the performance of such provision at any time in the future, nor shall a waiver of a subsequent breach nullify the effectiveness of the provision itself.

If any clause or term of a Finance Document should be invalid, unenforceable, defective or illegal for any reason whatsoever, then the remaining terms and provisions of a Finance Document shall be deemed to be severable therefrom and shall continue in full force and effect unless such invalidity, unenforceability, defect or illegality goes to the root of a Finance Document

The Parties undertake at all times to do all such things, to perform all such acts and to take all such steps and to procure the doing of all such things, the performance of all such actions and the taking of all such steps as may be open to them and necessary for or incidental to the putting into effect or maintenance of the terms, conditions and import of the Finance Documents.
