7.1 Ranking

The Borrower shall ensure that its payment obligations under this Agreement rank, and will rank, not less than pari passu in right of payment with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations under any of its Debt Instruments.

In particular, the Borrower shall not make (or authorise) any payment in respect of any other such Debt Instrument (whether regularly scheduled or otherwise) if:

However, payment in respect of such Debt Instrument is possible if the Borrower:

a sum equal to the same proportion of the principal outstanding under this Agreement as the proportion that the payment under such Debt Instrument bears to the total debt outstanding under that instrument. For this purpose, any payment of a Debt Instrument that is made out of the proceeds of the issue of another instrument, to which substantially the same persons as hold claims under the Debt Instrument have subscribed, shall be disregarded.

7.2 Security

Should a Security be granted for the performance of any of the Borrower’s Debt Instruments, the Borrower shall timely inform the CEB of its intentions and shall, if so required by the CEB, provide to the CEB, within the deadline set forth in the CEB’s notice, identical or equivalent Security for the performance of its financial obligations under this Agreement.

This provision shall not apply to a Security:

7.3 Clause by Inclusion

Should any of the Borrower’s Debt Instruments include a loss-of-rating covenant, a financial ratios covenant or pari passu provisions that are not included in the Agreement or that are stricter than any equivalent provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall so inform the CEB and shall, at the request of the CEB by means of a written notice, execute within the deadline indicated in the CEB’s notice, an amendment to this Agreement to provide an equivalent provision in favour of the CEB.

7.4 Prepayment to Third Parties

Should the Borrower voluntarily prepay (for the avoidance of doubt, prepayment shall include a repurchase where applicable) in whole or in part any Debt Instrument and such prepayment:

the Borrower shall inform the CEB. In such an event, and upon the CEB’s request, the Borrower shall prepay to the CEB within two (2) months from any such prepayment the amounts disbursed under the Loan in accordance with

Sub-clause 4.7

in such proportion as the prepaid amount bears to the corresponding Debt Instrument.
