6 Market disruption
6.1 If:

Page 12
(b) before the Reporting Time (in the case of the Compounded Reference Rate) or, in the case of the Reference Rate, by close of business in London on the Quotation Day, in each case for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders, whose participations in the Floating Rate Loan (or the relevant part of it) exceed 50% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Loan (or the relevant part of it) that the cost to it of funding its participation in the Floating Rate Loan (or the relevant part of it) would be in excess of the Market Disruption Rate,
then the Facility Agent shall give notice of such determination (a Determination Notice) to the Borrower and each of the Lenders.
6.2 If:
(a) the Determination Notice relates to the Reference Rate, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Facility Agent shall then negotiate in good faith in order to agree upon a mutually satisfactory interest rate and interest period (or interest periods) to be substituted for those which would otherwise have applied under the Novated Credit Agreement. If the Borrower, the Lenders and the Facility Agent are unable to agree upon an interest rate (or rates) and interest period (or interest periods) prior to the date occurring thirty (30) Business Days after the giving of such Determination Notice, clause 6.3 shall apply; or
(b) the Determination Notice relates to the Compounded Reference Rate, there shall be no negotiation period of the type referred to in paragraph (a) above and instead clause 6.3 shall automatically apply.
6.3 If this clause 6.3 applies, the Facility Agent shall (after consultation with the Lenders) set an interest rate and an interest period (or interest periods), in each case to take effect at the end of the Interest Period current at the date of the Determination Notice, which shall be equal to the sum of the Floating Rate Margin and the lower of (a) the weighted average of the corresponding interest rates at or about 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Business Days before the commencement of the relevant Interest Period on Reuters' pages KLIEMMM, GARBIC01 and FINA01 (or such other pages as may replace Reuters' pages KLIEMMM, GARBIC01 or FINA01 on Reuters' service) and (b) the cost to the Lenders of funding the portion of the Floating Rate Loan (or the relevant part of it) held by such Lenders.
6.4 It is acknowledged and agreed that:
(a) no Lender shall be entitled to make a notification referred to in clause 6.1(b) in respect of, or to compensation under clause 6.3 for, amounts up to the difference between such Lender's cost of obtaining matching deposits on the date such Lender became a Lender hereunder less the LIBO Rate on such date; and
(b) on and following the Novation Effective Time, no Lender shall be entitled to make a notification referred to in clause 6.1(b) in respect of, or to compensation under clause 6.3 for, amounts up to the difference between such Lender's cost of obtaining matching deposits on the date (falling after the Novation Effective Time) such Lender became a Lender hereunder less the Reference Rate on such date or, if on such date the Floating Rate is determined pursuant to clause 4, the Compounded Reference Rate (but for this purpose excluding the Credit Adjustment Spread) for the Interest Period in which such date occurs.

7 Break costs
It is acknowledged and agreed that Section 4.4.1 of the Novated Credit Agreement shall apply to a Funding Losses Event incurred in relation to the Floating Rate Loan (or any part of it) that is accruing interest at the Reference Rate or the Compounded Reference Rate (as the case may be), provided however that the amount which any Lender is entitled to claim from the Borrower in respect of that Funding Losses Event under the said Section 4.4.1 of the Novated Credit Agreement shall be:
(a) in the case of the Floating Rate Loan (or any part of it) accruing interest at the Reference Rate, an amount determined on the basis referred to in Section 4.4.1a) of the Novated Credit Agreement; and
(b) in the case of the Floating Rate Loan (or any part of it) that is accruing interest at the Compounded Reference Rate, any amount specified as “Break Costs” in the Compounded Reference Rate Terms subject to any limitation set out therein.
8 Published Rate replacement
8.1 It is agreed that Section 3.3.7 of the form of Novated Credit Agreement, and any related definitions required solely for the purposes of the said Section 3.3.7 of the form of Novated Credit Agreement, shall be deleted and instead, if a Published Rate Replacement Event occurs in relation to any Published Rate, any amendment or waiver which relates to
(a) providing for the use of a Replacement Reference Rate in place of that Published Rate; and
(b)
(i) aligning any provision of any Loan Document to the use of that Replacement Reference Rate;
(ii) enabling that Replacement Reference Rate to be used for the calculation of interest under the Novated Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, any consequential changes required to enable that Replacement Reference Rate to be used for the purposes of the Novated Credit Agreement);
(iii) implementing market conventions applicable to that Replacement Reference Rate;
(iv) providing for appropriate fallback (and market disruption) provisions for that Replacement Reference Rate; or
(v) adjusting the pricing to reduce or eliminate, to the extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic value from one party to another as a result of the application of that Replacement Reference Rate (and if any adjustment or method for calculating any adjustment has been formally designated, nominated or recommended by the Relevant Nominating Body, the adjustment shall be determined on the basis of that designation, nomination or recommendation),
may be made with the consent of the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower.
8.2 If any Lender fails to respond to a request for an amendment or waiver described in, or for any other vote of Lenders in relation to, clause 8.1 above within 5 Business Days (or such longer time period in relation to any request which the Borrower and the Facility Agent may agree) of that request being made:
(a) its Commitment or its participation in the Loan shall not be included for the purpose of ascertaining whether any relevant percentage of Commitments or the aggregate of participations in the Loan (as applicable) has been obtained to approve that request; and
(b) its status as a Lender shall be disregarded for the purpose of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve that request.
8.3 In this clause 8:

(f) the administrator of that Published Rate (or the administrator of an interest rate which is a constituent element of that Published Rate) determines that that Published Rate should be calculated in accordance with its reduced submissions or other contingency or fallback policies or arrangements and either:
(i) the circumstance(s) or event(s) leading to such determination are not (in the opinion of the Required Lenders and the Borrower) temporary; or
(ii) that Published Rate is calculated in accordance with any such policy or arrangement for a period no less than the applicable Published Rate Contingency Period; or

(ii) any Relevant Nominating Body,
and if replacements have, at the relevant time, been formally designated, nominated or recommended under both paragraphs, the "Replacement Reference Rate" will be the replacement under paragraph (ii) above;
(b) in the opinion of the Required Lenders and the Borrower, generally accepted in the international or any relevant domestic syndicated loan markets as the appropriate successor or alternative to a Published Rate; or
