2.7

Senior Debt/Equity Ratio at Project Completion Date

To the extent the Senior Debt/Equity Ratio as of the Project Completion Date, as certified by the Borrower to the Intercreditor Agent, is less than 75:25 based on the actual Project Costs that have then been paid plus the Permitted Completion Amount (and the Independent Engineer reasonably concurs; provided that such concurrence shall not require the Independent Engineer to evaluate or concur with information regarding funds used, or related to, payments under Permitted Hedging Instruments, Senior Debt, any Permitted Finance Costs and non-construction transaction costs or expenses), then the Borrower may draw on remaining Facility Debt Commitments up to an amount that would give rise to a Senior Debt/Equity Ratio of no greater than 75:25 and such funding shall be used to fund the Senior Debt Service Reserve Account, and remaining proceeds may, at the option of the Borrower, be paid directly to an Affiliate of the Borrower in accordance with the Finance Documents.

3.	REPAYMENT, PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

3.1

CTA Payment Dates

(a)

Subject to the relevant Facility Agreement, the Borrower shall pay the interest, and repay the principal on each Loan made available to it under each Facility Agreement in installments, which shall be payable on each CTA Payment Date up to and including the Final Maturity Date under such Facility Agreement.

The Borrower shall repay on the Final Maturity Date set forth under each Facility Agreement the full amount of the Loans then outstanding under each such Facility Agreement.

If any payment due under a Loan or any other amount owed to any Facility Lender falls due on a day which is not a “business day” under the terms of the applicable Facility Agreement, the due date for such payment shall be determined in accordance with the terms of such Facility Agreement, except in the case of the Final Maturity Date under a Facility Agreement, in which case the due date for such payment with respect to such Facility Agreement shall be the immediately preceding Business Day; provided, in each case, that if the due date for any payment under a Loan is extended or shortened as a result of such determination, such extended or shortened period, as the case may be, shall be used in the computation of the amount of interest owed on such extended or shortened due date.

3.2

Right of Repayment and Cancellation in Relation to a Single Facility Lender

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in the relevant Facility Agreement, if any of the circumstances in Section 19.5(c) (Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders) occurs (other than an Illegality Event, which is addressed under Section 3.4(a)(vi) (Mandatory Prepayments - Illegality)), the Borrower shall have the right (but not the obligation) to give the Intercreditor Agent and the relevant Facility Lender at least three Business Days’ written notice of its intention to cancel the Facility Debt Commitments and repay the Loans of the Facility Lender affected by the relevant circumstance.

(b)

On receipt of a notice referred to in clause (a) above:

(i)

the Facility Debt Commitment of such Facility Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero; and

(ii)

the Borrower shall, subject to Section 3.5(c) (Voluntary Prepayments) repay (on a non-pro rata basis) all Senior Debt Obligations owed to such Facility Lender on the last day of the relevant interest period which ends after the Borrower has given notice under clause (a) above (or, if earlier, the date specified by the Borrower in such notice or as required by law).

(c)

Such repayment may be made with the proceeds of Replacement Senior Debt incurred in accordance with Section 6.3 (Replacement Senior Debt) or with other funds then available to the Borrower and permitted under the Finance Documents to be used for such purpose.

-6-

A&R Common Terms Agreement

§3.4(a)

Mandatory Prepayments

(a)

Except in the following circumstances, no mandatory prepayments of the Loans are required to be made by the Borrower.

(ii)

Performance Liquidated Damages

In the event that the aggregate sum of any Performance Liquidated Damages received into the Additional Proceeds Prepayment Account(s), measured following the Substantial Completion of the last Train to be completed within the Project Facilities, is in excess of $10 million, then the Borrower shall, on the Quarterly Payment Date immediately following such Substantial Completion, apply such portion of such Performance Liquidated Damages to make prepayments of the Loans, except to the extent such amounts are applied to:

(A)

complete, repair, refurbish or improve the Project Facilities in respect of which the Performance Liquidated Damages were paid or other Project Facilities under construction related to the Corpus Christi Terminal Facility or the Corpus Christi Pipeline; or

(B)

repay or reimburse providers of Equity Funding to the extent such Equity Funding was used to complete, repair, refurbish or improve the Project Facilities in respect of which the Performance Liquidated Damages were paid or other Project Facilities under construction related to the Corpus Christi Terminal Facility or the Corpus Christi Pipeline.

-7-

A&R Common Terms Agreement

§3.4(a)

(iii)

Escrowed Amounts

In the event that the Borrower receives proceeds from any Escrowed Amounts pursuant to an EPC Contract after the Project Completion Date, unless the Borrower is permitted to make a Restricted Payment as provided for in Section 11.1 (Conditions to Restricted Payments) on the next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date, the Borrower shall apply such proceeds to make prepayments of the Loans.

(iv)

LNG SPA Payment Events

The Borrower shall make prepayments (if any) of Loans and cancel Senior Debt Commitments as may be required upon the occurrence of a LNG SPA Prepayment Event in accordance with Section 8.2 (LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment).

(v)

Change of Control

In the event of a Change of Control occurring after the end of the Term Loan Availability Period, the Borrower shall make prepayments (if any) of Loans, pursuant to a mandatory prepayment offer that shall be made by the Borrower to each Facility Lender to prepay such Facility Lender’s outstanding Senior Debt Obligations at par and cancel any remaining Facility Debt Commitments by notice given contemporaneously with or otherwise not more than 30 days following the occurrence of such Change of Control.

(vi)

Illegality

Except as otherwise provided in a Facility Agreement in respect of Advances based on LIBOR, upon the Intercreditor Agent providing notice to the Borrower of an Illegality Event with respect to a Facility Lender (together with the related information about such illegality described in Section 19.5 (Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders)), and subject to Section 19.5 (Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders):

(A)

the Facility Debt Commitment of such Facility Lender shall be suspended until such date during the applicable Availability Period that such Facility Lender notifies its Facility Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, provided that if the Borrower notifies the affected Facility Lender and the Intercreditor Agent that it intends to exercise its rights under Section 19.5 (Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders) to require an assignment of the Facility Lender’s rights, interests and commitments as a result of the Illegality Event, the Facility Debt Commitments shall be transferred to the assignee Facility Lender and not suspended as set forth herein; and

-8-

A&R Common Terms Agreement

§3.4(a)

(B)

the Borrower shall repay any principal and interest outstanding in respect of such Facility Lender’s Loans on the earlier of:

(1)

the next succeeding Quarterly Payment Date falling at least 60 days after the date on which the Intercreditor Agent has provided such notice to the Borrower; and

(2)

the date (if any) required under applicable law.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may also require the Facility Lender to assign its rights, interests and obligations in accordance with Section 19.5 (Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders) upon the occurrence of an Illegality Event, which assignment shall extinguish the need for this mandatory prepayment if it occurs prior to the date such mandatory prepayment is required to have occurred.

(vii)

Net Cash Proceeds from the Sale of Project Property

To the extent that Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower from the sale of Project Property (other than asset sales permitted under Section 12.17 (Sale of Project Property)) are in excess of $50 million individually or $200 million in the aggregate over the term of this Agreement, and those Net Cash Proceeds are not used to purchase replacement assets within 180 days following receipt thereof (or 270 days if a commitment to purchase replacement assets is entered into within 180 days following the receipt of such proceeds), the Borrower shall make prepayments of the Loans in the amount of those unused proceeds.

(viii)

Restricted Payments

Except if a Loan Facility Declared Default has occurred and is Continuing following the delivery of the notice provided under Section 4.6(b) (Control and Investment of Funds in Accounts) of the Common Security and Account Agreement (in which case the cash waterfall provided in Section 4.8 (Accounts During the Continuance of a Declared Event of Default) of the Common Security and Account Agreement shall apply), if, at any time after the Project

-9-

A&R Common Terms Agreement

§3.4(b)

Completion Date, the Borrower has not met the conditions to make a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 11.1 (Conditions to Restricted Payments) for four consecutive quarters (other than as a result of a failure to meet the condition in Section 11.1(e) (Conditions to Restricted Payments), which is addressed instead by the mandatory prepayment in sub-clause (iv) (LNG SPA Payment Events) above), and for as long as such failure to meet such conditions is continuing, on each Quarterly Payment Date during such period the Borrower will make a mandatory prepayment with the amount that would otherwise have been available for a Restricted Payment at the ninth level of the cash waterfall in Section 4.7 (Cash Waterfall) of the Common Security and Account Agreement less any amounts reasonably estimated to be due and payable at any higher level of the cash waterfall within the 30 days following such Quarterly Payment Date.

(b)

Mandatory prepayments to Facility Lenders will be made with accrued interest.

(c)

8.	LNG SPA COVENANTS

8.1

LNG SPA Maintenance

(a)

CCL shall maintain Qualifying LNG SPAs providing for commitments to purchase LNG in quantities at least equal to the Base Committed Quantity for a Qualifying Term unless one or more of such Qualifying LNG SPAs has terminated, in which case CCL shall enter into a replacement Qualifying LNG SPA within 90 days following such termination to the extent necessary to meet the Base Committed Quantity; provided that CCL shall have a further 90 days to enter into such a replacement Qualifying LNG SPA if the following conditions are met:

(i)

CCL intends to replace such terminated LNG SPA with an LNG SPA that would be a Qualifying LNG SPA that causes the Loan Parties to meet the Base Committed Quantity and is diligently pursuing such replacement; and

-50-

A&R Common Terms Agreement

(ii)

the termination of such Qualifying LNG SPA could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect during such subsequent cure period;

and the Intercreditor Agent has received a certification from the Borrower confirming that each such conditions above has been met prior to the expiration of the initial 90 day period together with documentation reasonably supporting its certification, which may include, to the extent relevant and applicable, a description of the plans being undertaken and expected schedule for replacement of the terminated LNG SPA (although commercially sensitive information may be omitted), any measures being taken by CCL to address the underlying cause of the termination to the extent relevant to the termination and the replacement process, any interim cash flow mitigation measures being taken by CCL (including sales of spot cargoes) and the impact on CCL’s projected Cash Flow during the subsequent cure period.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Qualifying LNG SPAs required to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.1 (LNG SPA Maintenance) are referred to as “Required LNG SPAs”.

(b)

A “Qualifying LNG SPA” includes each of the Initial LNG SPAs and the Second Phase LNG SPAs (and if CCL becomes the direct seller counterparty under the PetroChina DES LNG SPA such LNG SPA shall also constitute a Qualifying LNG SPA) and any other LNG SPA that meets each of the following conditions:

(i)

such LNG SPA is entered into for a Qualifying Term with an Investment Grade LNG Buyer (or guaranteed by an Investment Grade entity) or any other entity approved by the Intercreditor Agent;

(ii)

delivery of LNG under such LNG SPA is on an FOB basis;

CCL has delivered to the Intercreditor Agent notice of the proposed terms of such LNG SPA and:

(A)

such terms are consistent, in all material respects, with (and not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the interests of CCL than) those set forth in the Qualifying LNG SPAs then in effect, and CCL so certifies to the Intercreditor Agent; or

(B)

the Intercreditor Agent confirms that the Requisite Intercreditor Parties, after consultation with the Market Consultant, are reasonably satisfied with the terms of such LNG SPA, including its conformity to Market Terms; provided that:

-51-

A&R Common Terms Agreement

§8.1(b)

(1)

if CCL delivers to the Intercreditor Agent material terms of an LNG SPA that are not in the form of an executed LNG SPA, it shall deliver to the Intercreditor Agent, as soon as practicable after the execution of the LNG SPA, a copy of the executed LNG SPA, together with a certificate confirming that such LNG SPA is, in all material respects, consistent with (or not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the interests of CCL than) the terms previously delivered to the Intercreditor Agent that were reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Intercreditor Parties; and

(2)

if the executed LNG SPA is not consistent, in all material respects, with (or is materially less favorable in the aggregate to the interests of CCL than) the terms previously delivered to the Intercreditor Agent that were reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Intercreditor Parties, then:

(I) such LNG SPA shall not be deemed a “Qualifying LNG SPA” until the Intercreditor Agent has given notice that the Requisite Intercreditor Parties are reasonably satisfied with its terms; and

(II) CCL shall promptly deliver to the Intercreditor Agent a summary of the material differences between the executed LNG SPA and such terms previously delivered to the Intercreditor Agent.

In such case, if the Requisite Intercreditor Parties are not reasonably satisfied with the different terms, the executed LNG SPA shall not constitute a Qualifying LNG SPA (unless the process set forth above is subsequently satisfied); and

(iv)

CCL has delivered to the Intercreditor Agent a notice of whether the Non-FTA Authorization, the FTA Authorization or both are Required Export Authorizations in respect of such Qualifying LNG SPA, in accordance with the definition of Required Export Authorization, together with reasonable background information to support such designation, and the Intercreditor Agent (acting on the instructions of the Requisite Intercreditor Parties), acting reasonably, has not objected to such designation within 30 days following delivery of such notice.

(i)

CCL breaches the covenant in Section 8.1 (LNG SPA Maintenance) (taking into account the period set forth therein to replace the relevant LNG SPA); or

(ii)

with respect to any Required LNG SPA,a Required Export Authorization becomes Impaired and CCL does not:

(A)

provide a reasonable remediation plan (setting forth in reasonable detail proposed steps to reinstate the Required Export Authorization or to modify its LNG SPA arrangements, such as through diversions or alternative delivery or sale arrangements, such that such Impaired Export Authorization is no longer a Required Export Authorization with respect to any or all such Required LNG SPAs (each such item, an “Export Authorization Remediation”)) within 30 days following such occurrence;

(B)

diligently pursue such Export Authorization Remediation; or

(C)

cause such Export Authorization Remediation to take effect within 90 days following the occurrence of the Impairment; provided that CCL shall have a further 90 days to effect an Export Authorization Remediation if the following conditions are met:

(1)

CCL is diligently pursuing its plan for the Export Authorization Remediation; and

(2)

the Impairment of the Required Export Authorization of such Required LNG SPA could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect during such subsequent cure period;

(i)

the aggregate principal amount of Senior Debt then outstanding plus the aggregate principal amount of undrawn Facility Debt Commitments; less

(ii)

the maximum amount of Senior Debt that can be incurred without producing a Fixed Projected DSCR starting from the CTA Payment Date for the repayment of principal following the end of the applicable cure period and for each calendar year thereafter through the Qualifying Term of the Qualifying LNG SPAs then in effect lower than 1.50:1 based on a Base Case Forecast updated to take into account each Qualifying LNG SPA then in full force and effect and in respect of which there is in effect its Required Export Authorization which is not Impaired (including any new Qualifying LNG SPAs entered into to replace an LNG SPA whose termination triggered the LNG SPA Prepayment Event).

-54-

A&R Common Terms Agreement

§8.2(c)

The Borrower shall provide to the Intercreditor Agent reasonable documentary support to show the amount of Senior Debt to be repaid and Senior Debt Commitments to be cancelled, including the Base Case Forecast and, to the extent appropriate, the Required LNG SPAs then in effect and reasonable background information regarding Required Export Authorizations with respect to such Required LNG SPAs and supporting the designation of such Export Authorizations as Required Export Authorizations with respect to such Required LNG SPAs.

(c)

In making the prepayment and cancellation described in clause (b) above, the Borrower shall first repay the aggregate principal amount of Senior Debt Obligations then outstanding to the extent required under this Section 8.2 (LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment) or until there are no more Senior Debt Obligations outstanding and if this has not resulted in a prepayment of the amount required to satisfy the test in clause (b) above, shall second cancel the aggregate principal amount of Facility Debt Commitments to the extent required under this Section 8.2 (LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment). The prepayment and cancellation made pursuant to this Section 8.2 (LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment) shall be required to be made by the earliest of (i) the 30^th day following the termination of the cure period applicable thereto, (ii) the next Quarterly Payment Date if such date is more than 10 Business Days following the termination of the cure period applicable thereto and (iii) the 10^th Business Day following the termination of the cure period applicable thereto if the next Quarterly Payment Date is less than 10 Business Days following the termination of the cure period applicable thereto.

(d)

Upon completion of the prepayment of Senior Debt and cancellation of Facility Debt Commitments as and to the extent required by clause (b) and (c) above, the LNG SPA Prepayment Event and underlying breach of Section 8.1 (LNG SPA Maintenance) or Impairment triggering that LNG SPA Prepayment Event shall no longer be continuing under the Finance Documents in so far as the same set of events, facts or circumstances that caused such breach, Impairment and mandatory prepayment are concerned, but without prejudice to the Borrower’s obligations under Section 8.1 (LNG SPA Maintenance) and 8.2 (LNG SPA Mandatory Prepayment) with respect to any other event, fact or circumstance.

8.3

Amendment of LNG SPAs

CCL shall not agree to:

could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(ii)

would not be on Market Terms; or

Without prejudice to any other element, the cost of maintaining insurance alone is not a determinant of Reasonable Commercial Terms. Disputes as to whether the relevant insurance is available on Reasonable Commercial Terms, is in accordance with applicable laws or regulations or complies with the Schedule of Minimum Insurance shall be referred to an independent insurance expert from the agreed list of independent insurance experts attached as Schedule M (Independent Insurance Experts) hereto, as such list may be updated from time to time by mutual agreement by the Borrower and the Intercreditor Agent.

With respect to all Mortgaged Property located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, the Borrower will obtain and maintain at all times flood insurance for all Collateral located on such property as may be required under the Flood Program and will provide to each Facility Lender evidence of compliance with such requirements as may be reasonably requested by such Lender. The timing and process for delivery of such evidence will be as set forth in the Schedule of Minimum Insurance. If any Building (as defined in the applicable flood insurance regulations) or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable flood insurance regulations) constitutes property that is secured for the benefit of the Loan Parties’ Senior Creditors pursuant to a deed of trust required under the Finance Documents, each applicable Loan Party shall maintain in full force and effect flood insurance for such property, structures and contents in such amount and for so long as required by applicable flood insurance regulation.

(c)

No later than the Second Phase Closing Date, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Intercreditor Agent:

a completed “Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form” of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and any successor Governmental Authority performing a similar function (a “Flood Certificate”) with respect to the anticipated real property expected to be included in the Collateral (“Mortgaged Property”), which Flood Certificate shall:

TAX GROSS-UP AND INDEMNITIES

21.1

Withholding Tax Gross-Up

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under or in connection with any Finance Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower or the relevant Facility Agent, as applicable) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower or the applicable Facility Agent, then the Borrower or the applicable Facility Agent shall make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Article 21 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities)), the relevant Finance Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

21.2

Payment of Other Taxes

The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the applicable Facility Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

Indemnification by the Borrower

The Borrower shall indemnify each Finance Party and each Facility Agent (and any of their respective Affiliates), within 20 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Article 21 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities)) payable or paid by, or required to be withheld

-125-

A&R Common Terms Agreement

§21.5(a)

or deducted from a payment to, such Finance Party or Facility Agent (or Affiliate) in connection with a Finance Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Finance Party (with a copy to the relevant Facility Agent), or by a Facility Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Finance Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

21.4

Indemnification by the Facility Lenders

Each Facility Lender shall severally indemnify its Facility Agent, within 20 Business Days after written demand therefor, for (a) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Facility Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Facility Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (b) any Taxes attributable to such Facility Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 19.6 (Transfers by a Facility Lender) and the relevant Facility Agreement relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (c) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Facility Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by such Facility Agent in connection with any Finance Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Facility Lender by its Facility Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Facility Lender hereby authorizes its Facility Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Facility Lender under any Finance Document or otherwise payable by such Facility Agent to the Facility Lender from any other source against any amount due to such Facility Agent under this Section 21.4 (Indemnification by the Facility Lenders).

21.5

Status of Facility Lenders and Facility Agents

(a)

Any Facility Lender entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Finance Document shall deliver to the Borrower and its Facility Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Facility Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Facility Agent as shall permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Facility Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Facility Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Facility Agent as shall enable the Borrower or such Facility Agent to determine whether or not such Facility Lender is subject to backup withholding or

-126-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in sub-clauses (b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iv) below) shall not be required if, in the Facility Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Facility Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Facility Lender.

(b)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)

any Facility Lender that is a US Person shall deliver to the Borrower and its Facility Agent on or prior to the date on which such Facility Lender becomes a Facility Lender under the relevant Facility Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or such Facility Agent) executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Facility Lender is exempt from US federal backup withholding tax;

(iii)

any Facility Lender that is not a US Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and its Facility Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Facility Lender becomes a Facility Lender under the relevant Facility Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or such Facility Agent) executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in US federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or such Facility Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

-128-

A&R Common Terms Agreement

§21.5(c)

(iv)

if a payment made to a Facility Lender under any Finance Document would be subject to US federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Facility Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Facility Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and its Facility Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Facility Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Facility Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and such Facility Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Facility Lender has complied with such Facility Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this sub-clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Second Phase Closing Date.

(c)

Each Facility Lender and Facility Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Facility Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

21.6

Refunds

To the extent that a Facility Lender or its Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has obtained a refund or credit (in lieu of a refund) in respect of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Article 21 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Article 21 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities)), the relevant Facility Lender shall pay the Borrower an amount equal to such refund or credit, but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Article 21 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit, and net of costs and expenses (including Taxes) and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit). The Borrower, upon the request of the Facility Lender or its Affiliate, shall repay to the Facility Lender or its Affiliate the amount paid over pursuant to the preceding sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that the Facility Lender or its Affiliate is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event shall the Facility Lender or its Affiliate be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would

-129-

A&R Common Terms Agreement

§21.9(a)

place the Facility Lender or its Affiliate in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Facility Lender or its Affiliate would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund or credit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Facility Lender or its Affiliate to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

21.7

21.8

Survival

Each Party’s obligations under this Article 21 (Tax Gross-Up and Indemnities) shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Facility Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Facility Lender, the termination of the Facility Debt Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Finance Document.

21.9

INCREASED COSTS

22.1

Increased Costs

(a)

If any Change in Law shall:

(i)

impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Facility Lender;

(ii)

subject any Finance Party (or its Affiliates) to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)

impose on any Facility Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Facility Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Finance Party of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Finance Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Finance Party, the Borrower shall within the time period specified in clause (b) below pay to such Finance Party such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Finance Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (except to the extent the Borrower is excused from payment pursuant to Section 19.5 (Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders) or Section 19.8 (Resulting Increased Costs)).

(b)

If any Facility Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Facility Lender’s capital or (without duplication) on the capital of such Facility Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Facility Debt Commitments of such Facility Lender or the Loans made by such Facility Lender to a level below that which such Facility Lender or such Facility Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Facility Lender’s policies and the policies of such Facility Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon notice by such Facility Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Facility Lender within 30 days following the receipt of such notice by the

-131-

A&R Common Terms Agreement

§22.1(b)

Facility Lender such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Facility Lender or (without duplication) such Facility Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered (except to the extent the Borrower is excused from payment pursuant to Section 19.5 (Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders) or Section 19.8 (Resulting Increased Costs)).

(c)

The applicable Finance Party will deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Intercreditor Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Finance Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clauses (a) and (b) above. The Borrower shall pay such Finance Party the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)

Failure or delay on the part of any Finance Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 22.1 (Increased Costs) shall not constitute a waiver of such Finance Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Finance Party pursuant to this Section 22.1 (Increased Costs) for any increased costs or reductions incurred or reductions suffered more than 225 days prior to the date that such Facility Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Facility Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 225 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no Facility Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Article 22 (Increased Costs) in respect of the Change in Law arising from the matters described in the proviso to the definition of “Change in Law” if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Facility Lender, as determined by such Facility Lender, to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (e) shall not impose an obligation on a Facility Lender to provide information regarding compensation claimed and/or paid under any other specific loan agreement; provided that such Facility Lender shall, upon request from the Borrower, provide a written confirmation to the Borrower regarding whether it is the general policy or practice of such Facility Lender, as the case may be, to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.
