The rate of interest previously agreed for the relevant Loan shall no longer be applicable and instead the rate of interest on the relevant Loan, until the Maturity Date, or the Interest Revision/Conversion Date (if any), shall be the percentage rate per annum notified by the Bank to the Borrower being the sum of:

the Margin; and

the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) determined by the Bank to be the all-inclusive cost to the Bank of funding the relevant Loan based upon the applicable internally generated Bank reference rate or an alternative rate determination method determined by the Bank.

The Borrower shall have the right to refuse such Utilisation within the deadline specified in the notice and shall bear charges (if any) incurred as a result, in which case the Bank shall not disburse the Loan. If the Borrower does not refuse the Utilisation in time, the Utilisation in EUR and the conditions thereof shall be fully binding on all Parties.

BREAK COSTS

Break Costs on voluntary prepayment

If the Borrower prepays a Fixed Rate Loan, the Borrower shall pay Break Costs to the Bank on the Prepayment Date.

The prepayment of a Loan on its Interest Revision/Conversion Date may be made without Break Costs unless the Borrower has accepted a Fixed Rate under a new Interest Revision/Conversion Proposal.

Break Costs on a terminated Utilisation

If Utilisation of an Accepted Loan to which a Fixed Rate applies is terminated (the “Terminated Fixed Rate Utilisation”) pursuant to:

Paragraph 1.4 (Termination of a Utilisation deferred by six months) in Part II of Schedule 2 (Utilisation procedure), or

Paragraph 1.5 (Termination of a Utilisation by the Borrower) in Part II of Schedule 2 (Utilisation procedure);

Break Costs Prepayment Event

Break Costs on acceleration

In the event of an acceleration pursuant to Clause 15.13 (Acceleration) the Borrower shall pay to the Bank, together with any amount demanded by the Bank under Clause 15.13 (Acceleration), in respect of:

any Fixed Rate Loan, Break Costs on any amount of principal due to be prepaid, and such Break Costs shall accrue from the due date for payment specified in the Bank’s notice of demand and be calculated on the basis that prepayment is effected on the date so specified; and

any Floating Rate Loan, a sum equal to the present value of 0.19 per cent per annum calculated and accruing on the amount of principal due to be prepaid or the amount of any Accepted Loan the Utilisation of which is terminated, in the same manner as interest would have been calculated and would have accrued if that amount had remained outstanding according to the applicable repayment schedule of the Loan, until the Interest Revision/Conversion Date, if any, or the Maturity Date. The value shall be calculated at a discount rate equal to the Redeployment Rate applied as of each relevant Interest Payment Date.

Amounts due by the Borrower pursuant to this Clause 10.4 shall be payable on the date specified in the Bank’s demand.

FEES

Upfront fee

The Borrower shall pay to the Bank within 90 days of the date of this Agreement an upfront fee of EUR [***] in respect of the appraisal conducted by the Bank in relation to the Project.

Each Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Bank or any other Guaranteed Party on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Bank in writing that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose (provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not result in such payment not being applied to the Obligations or such payment being deemed not made).

No general solicitation or general advertising shall be used in connection with the offering of the Securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the prior written approval of the Dealer, none of the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor shall issue any press release or place or publish any “tombstone” or other advertisement relating to the offer and sale of the Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any publication by any Issuer and/or the Parent Guarantor of a notice in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act shall not be deemed to constitute general solicitation or general advertising hereunder and shall not require prior written approval of the Dealer (provided that the Issuers and/or the Parent Guarantor shall provide a copy thereof to the Dealer at least three (3) business days prior to publication) and (ii) the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor shall be permitted to make such filings with the SEC that the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable, reasonably determine are required to comply with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and the Dealer acknowledges the Parent Guarantor intends to file a Current Report on Form 8-K on or about the date hereof with respect to transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that unless otherwise prohibited by applicable securities laws, rules and regulations, the Issuers and/or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable, shall omit the name of the Dealer from any publicly available filing (including any Current Report on Form 8-K) made by any Issuer or the Parent Guarantor that makes reference to the Securities, the issuance, offer or sale of the Securities or this Agreement, including by redacting the Dealer’s name and any contact or other information that could identify the Dealer from any agreement or other information included in such filing. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor shall post the Private Placement Memorandum on a website without the consent of the Dealer and each other dealer or placement agent, if any, for the Securities.

No sale of Notes to any one purchaser shall be for less than $250,000 Face Amount, and no Note shall be issued in a smaller Face Amount. If the purchaser is a non-bank fiduciary acting on behalf of others, each person for whom such purchaser is acting must purchase at least $250,000 Face Amount of Notes.

Offers and sales of the Securities shall be subject to the restrictions described in the legend appearing on Exhibit A hereto. A legend substantially to the effect of such Exhibit A shall appear as part of the Private Placement Memorandum used in connection with offers and sales of Securities hereunder, as well as on each individual certificate representing a Note or Guaranty and each Master Note representing book-entry Notes offered and sold pursuant to this Agreement.

The Dealer shall furnish or shall have furnished to each purchaser of any Notes for which it has acted as the Dealer a copy of the then-current Private Placement Memorandum unless such purchaser has previously been furnished a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum as then in effect. The Private Placement Memorandum shall expressly state that any person to whom Notes are offered shall have an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive information from, the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor and the Dealer and shall provide the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the persons from whom information regarding the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor may be obtained.

The Issuers and the Parent Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree, for the benefit of the Dealer and each of the holders and prospective purchasers from time to time of the Notes that, if at any time any Issuer or the Parent Guarantor shall not be subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (other than by operation of an applicable exemption thereunder, such as Rule 12h-5), such Issuer or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable, will furnish, upon request and at their expense, to the Dealer and to holders and prospective purchasers of Notes information required by Rule 144A(d)(4)(i) in compliance with Rule 144A(d).

In the event that any Securities offered or to be offered by the Dealer would be ineligible for resale under Rule 144A, the Issuers shall promptly notify the Dealer (by telephone, confirmed in writing, or electronic mail) of such fact and shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Dealer an amendment or supplement to the Private Placement Memorandum describing the Securities that are ineligible, the reason for such ineligibility and any other relevant information relating thereto.

Each of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor represents that none of the Issuers nor the Parent Guarantor is currently issuing commercial paper in the United States market in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act. Each of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor agrees that, if any Issuer or the Parent Guarantor shall issue commercial paper after the date hereof in reliance upon such exemption

Each of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Dealer, in connection with offers, sales and resales of the Securities, as follows:

Each of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor hereby confirms to the Dealer that (except as permitted by Section 1.6(i)) within the preceding six months, none of the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor or any person other than the Dealer or the Other Dealers acting on behalf of an Issuer or the Parent Guarantor has offered or sold any Securities, or any substantially similar security of an Issuer or the Parent Guarantor, to, or solicited offers to buy any such security from, any person other than the Dealer or the Other Dealers. Each of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor also agrees that (except as permitted by Section 1.6(i)), as long as the Notes are being offered for sale by the Dealer and the Other Dealers as contemplated hereby, and until at least six months after the offer of Notes hereunder has been terminated, none of the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor or any person other than the Dealer or the Other Dealers (except as contemplated by Section 1.2 hereof) will offer the Securities or any substantially similar security of any Issuer or the Parent Guarantor for sale to, or solicit offers to buy any such security from, any person other than the Dealer or the Other Dealers; provided that it is understood that such agreement is made with a view to bringing the offer and sale of the Securities within the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Each of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor hereby (i) represents and warrants that it has not taken or omitted to take, and (ii) covenants that it will not take, or omit to take, in each case, any action, which action (or the absence thereof, in the case of an omission) would cause the offering and sale of Securities hereunder to be integrated with any other offering of securities, whether such offering is made by an Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or some other party or parties.

Each of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor represents and agrees that the proceeds of the sale of the Notes are not currently contemplated to be used for the purpose of buying, carrying or trading securities within the meaning of Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. In the event that any Issuer

No Issuer shall issue Notes, or request the Dealer to offer and sell Notes, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate Face Amount of outstanding Notes under the Program would exceed the Maximum Amount. The Issuers may from time to time increase the Maximum Amount by:

giving at least three (3) calendar days’ notice by letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Notification Letter for an Increase in the Maximum Amount”) to the Dealer and the Issuing and Paying Agent; and

delivery of (i) a certificate from a duly authorized officer of each of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor confirming that no changes have been made to the organizational documents of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor since the date certified copies thereof were most recently delivered to the Dealer or, if there has been any such change, a certified copy of the related organizational documents currently in force; (ii) certified copies of all documents evidencing the internal authorization and approval required to be adopted by each of the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor for such an increase in the Maximum Amount; (iii) an updated or supplemental Private Placement Memorandum reflecting the increase in the Maximum Amount of the Program; (iv) legal opinion(s) of counsel to the Issuers and the Parent Guarantor addressed to the Dealer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Dealer; (v) evidence from each nationally recognized statistical rating organization (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act) providing a rating of the Notes either (A) that such rating has been confirmed after giving effect to the increase in the Maximum Amount or (B) setting forth any change in the rating of the Notes after giving effect to the increase in the Maximum Amount; and (vi) such other certificates, opinions, letters and documents as the Dealer shall have reasonably requested.
