(vi)

the Leakage Expert’s costs (including any amount payable to the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales in respect of nomination, if applicable) shall be allocated: (A) between the Buyer and the relevant Seller in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the items which are the subject matter of the Leakage Dispute (the “Disputed Items”) that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally resolved by the Leakage Expert) bears to the total amount of such Disputed Items so submitted; or (B) as otherwise determined by the Leakage Expert; and

The Financing Agreements provide for “certain funds”, and, therefore, there are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amounts of financing contemplated under the Financing Agreements, other than such conditions and contingencies set forth in the copies of the Financing Agreements that have been provided to the Institutional Seller prior to the date hereof. The Financing Agreements have been duly executed and delivered by the parties thereto, are in full force and effect and are enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with their terms. The Financing Agreements do not provide for scheduled termination before, and the funding under the Financing Agreements will remain available until and including, the Long Stop Date.

(i)

the Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither the obtaining of the debt financing contemplated by the Financing Agreements or any Alternative Financing, nor the completion of any issuance of securities contemplated by the debt financing contemplated by the Financing Agreements or any Alternative Financing, is a condition to the Closing, and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the debt financing contemplated by the Financing Agreements or any Alternative Financing, or the completion of any such issuance;

(j)

the Buyer shall give the Sellers prompt notice of:

(i)

any material breach or default, or any written notice received by the Buyer of any threatened breach, default, termination or repudiation, in each case by any party to the Financing Agreements, of which the Buyer becomes aware; or

(ii)

if the Buyer no longer believes in good faith that it will be able to obtain the debt financing contemplated by the Financing Agreements on the terms described therein.

(k)

the Buyer does not have: (a) any knowledge that any of the Warranties given under this Agreement is not true and correct; or (b) any knowledge of a breach of the Warranties, which, in the case of either of (a) or (b) where the Buyer is also aware would allow it to bring a claim against a Seller;

9.7

If the Buyer becomes aware of any fact, matter or circumstance that may directly or indirectly impede the Buyer (or the Buyer’s Guarantor) from drawing down such amounts under the terms of the Financing Agreements as are necessary to enable the Buyer to comply with its obligations at Closing, the Buyer shall promptly notify the Sellers in writing of that fact, matter or circumstance. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 9.7 shall operate to limit the liability of the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

9.8

If any portion of the amounts required to be drawn down under the Financing Agreements as are necessary to enable the Buyer to comply with its obligations at Closing are not capable of being drawn due to a failure in the relevant counterparty under such agreements to perform its obligations under such agreements, and provided that the Buyer does not have cash or other funding sources available to it to enable the Buyer to pay all amounts required to be paid under this Agreement on Closing, the Buyer undertakes to take all such actions (or procure that such action is taken) necessary to enforce its or any other member of the Buyer’s Group’s rights against any counterparty under the Financing Agreements.

shall allow the relevant Seller and its advisers to investigate the fact, matter, event or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim; and

(b)

shall disclose to the relevant Seller all material of which each relevant member of the Buyer’s Group is aware which relates to the claim and shall, subject to their being paid all reasonable costs and expenses, provide all such information and assistance, including access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records, as the relevant Seller may request, subject to the relevant Seller agreeing in such form as the Buyer may reasonably require to keep all such information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of investigating and defending the claim in question and provided that no member of the Buyer’s Group shall be under any obligation to disclose any information or documentation that is privileged in respect of a claim that it has against the relevant Seller or any member of the relevant Seller’s Group,

(c)

the Buyer shall procure that each relevant member of the Buyer’s Group shall give, subject to it being paid its reasonable costs and expenses and to confidentiality and privilege, all such information and assistance including access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records, to the extent the same are not privileged with respect to any claim against the relevant Seller as the relevant Seller may reasonably request, including instructing such legal, financial, accounting, tax or other advisers as the relevant Seller may nominate to act on behalf of the relevant member of the Buyer’s Group but in accordance with the relevant Seller’s instructions; provided that the relevant Seller shall exercise its rights hereunder to mitigate, as far as reasonably practicable, any disruption to the business of the relevant member(s) of the Buyer’s Group.

14.5

The liability of the Buyer’s Guarantor under this Clause 14:

(a)

shall not be released or diminished by any variation, amendment or waiver of the Buyer’s Guaranteed Obligations or any forbearance, neglect or delay in seeking performance of the Buyer’s Guaranteed Obligations or any granting of time for such performance;

(c)

shall not be affected or impaired by reason of the winding up, insolvency, dissolution, administration, reorganisation or other similar proceedings of the Buyer or any other person or any change in its status, function, control or ownership.

to take any action or obtain judgment in any court against the Buyer;
