Status of the UK Subsidiary Guarantor

Execution of the Base Indenture by the UK Subsidiary Guarantor

No document has been executed by the UK Subsidiary Guarantor since the date of the Base Indenture which affects the legality, validity or enforceability of the Base Indenture.

No resolutions of the Directors of the UK Subsidiary Guarantor have been passed since the date of the Base Indenture revoking the authority of the UK Subsidiary Guarantor to execute the Base Indenture.

Execution of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture by the UK Subsidiary Guarantor

The Background Documents are complete, accurate and up-to-date and no amendments have been made.

The unanimous resolutions of the directors of the UK subsidiary Guarantor referred to in part 1 of Schedule 2 were duly passed by the directors concerned. In passing each of those resolutions, each of the directors concerned was acting in a way which they considered, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the UK Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of its members as a whole and in compliance with that director’s other duties contained in Chapter 2 of Part 10 of the Companies Act 2006 and under all applicable laws. Each of those resolutions is in full force and effect without modification.

Each director of the UK Subsidiary Guarantor has declared, in accordance with section 177 of the Companies Act 2006 and the articles of association of the UK Subsidiary Guarantor:-

any interest which that director may have in the transactions contemplated by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture; and

any conflict of interest which that director may have in relation to or arising from the transactions contemplated by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture,

Each director of the UK Subsidiary Guarantor has obtained authorisation, in accordance with section 175 of the Companies Act 2006 and the articles of association of the UK Subsidiary Guarantor, of any conflict of interest which that director may have in relation to or arising from the transactions contemplated by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture to which:

any other company; or

that director or any person connected (as defined in section 252 of the Companies Act 2006) with that director,

No insolvency proceedings (which include those relating to bankruptcy, liquidation, administration, administrative receivership, moratorium, compromise, arrangement, reconstruction, amalgamation and reorganisation) are in force, or have been commenced, in relation to the UK Subsidiary Guarantor in any jurisdiction.

The persons who purported to execute the Seventh Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the UK Subsidiary Guarantor were the persons authorised to do so in the board minutes described in part 1 of Schedule 2, and the signatures of those persons authorised to sign the Seventh Supplemental Indenture (including any electronic signatures) are the authentic signatures of those persons and they have the full legal capacity as individuals (as opposed to in any corporate capacity) to execute the Seventh Supplemental Indenture.

The Seventh Supplemental Indenture, including (without limitation) any provision/agreement on governing law contained in it, is a valid and binding agreement of the parties to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture (other than the UK Subsidiary Guarantor).

All signatures (including electronic signatures), stamps and seals on all original or copy documents are genuine and authentic.

Where a signature (including any electronic signature) has been witnessed, the witness was in the physical presence of the signatory at the time of signing, was not under the age of 18, had full mental capacity and was not otherwise a signatory to that document.

All documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete and all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, pdf or other form of copy documents are complete and conform to authentic originals. There has been no variation, waiver or discharge of any of the provisions of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture.

The UK Subsidiary Guarantor is able to pay its debts (within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986) at the time of entering into the Seventh Supplemental Indenture and will not as a consequence of doing so, become unable to pay its debts. Neither the UK Subsidiary Guarantor nor any other person has passed a resolution for its winding-up or dissolution or taken any steps (including without limitation making any petition or application or giving any notice) for its winding-up or for the appointment of an administrator (whether out of court or otherwise), an administrative receiver or receiver in relation to it or any of its respective assets or revenue. No analogous procedure or step has been taken in any jurisdiction in relation to the UK Subsidiary Guarantor.

The UK Subsidiary Guarantor is solvent both on a balance sheet and on a cash-flow basis, and will remain so immediately after the Indenture has been executed.

There are no other facts relevant to this opinion that do not appear from the Seventh Supplemental Indenture or any of the documents, searches and enquiries referred to in Schedule 2.

No consents, licences, approvals or authorisations of any governmental, judicial body, regulatory authority, securities exchange or other authority or agency in each case in the United Kingdom are required by law or regulation by any of the parties to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture (other than the UK Subsidiary Guarantor) in respect of them entering into the Seventh Supplemental Indenture.

The Seventh Supplemental Indenture is not subject to any escrow or similar arrangement.

The Seventh Supplemental Indenture has been entered into for bona fide commercial reasons and on arm’s length terms by each of the parties thereto.

There has been no bad faith or fraud, misrepresentation, coercion, duress or undue influence on the part of any of the parties to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture and on those parties’ respective directors, employees, agents, consultants or advisers and no party to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture has entered into it on the basis of a mistake of fact or law or believing that the Seventh Supplemental Indenture is fundamentally different in substance or in kind from what it is.

Save to the extent referred to in the opinion in paragraph 2 of Part B in relation to the UK Subsidiary Guarantor, no provision of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture breaches any other agreement or instrument binding on the UK Subsidiary Guarantor or its assets.

All consents, approvals, notices, filings, recordings, publications and registrations which are necessary under any applicable laws or regulations (other than the laws of England and Wales) in order to permit the execution, delivery or performance of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture by each of the parties to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, or to protect or preserve any of the interests created by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, have been made or obtained within the period permitted by such laws or regulations.

The UK Subsidiary Guarantor maintains and will continue to maintain at all times its centre of main interests, including (without limitation) its headquarters and administrative functions in England and Wales for the purposes of the Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings (recast) as it forms part of domestic law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and as amended by the Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations SI 2019/14 (as amended by the Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019/1459 and the Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020/647) (together the “UK EU Exit Insolvency Laws”).

No law of any jurisdiction other than England and Wales has any bearing on the opinions contained in Part B (Opinions).

The parties to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture and all persons and parties conducting business in connection with them have complied (and will continue to comply) with all applicable sanctions, financial crime anti-terrorism, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and human rights laws, regulations and reporting requirements, and that there is nothing in the transactions contemplated by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture that is or becomes inconsistent with all such laws and regulations or any sanctions administered, issued, enacted or enforced by the governments, official institutions or agencies of any country or area, including the United States of America, the United Kingdom, the European Union or by the Security Council of the United Nations.

Parties other than the UK Subsidiary Guarantor

The Indenture has been duly authorised, executed and delivered by all persons who are expressed to be parties to it other than the UK Subsidiary Guarantor.

Each other party to the Indenture (other than the UK Subsidiary Guarantor) has the capacity, power and authority to enter into and to exercise its rights and to perform its obligations under the Indenture and is not controlled by or otherwise connected with a person (or is itself) resident in, incorporated in or constituted under the laws of a country which is the subject of United Nations, European Community or UK sanctions implemented or effective in the United Kingdom under the United Nations Act 1946, the Emergency Laws (Re-enactments and Repeals) Act 1964 or the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, or under the Treaty establishing the European Community, or is otherwise the target of any such sanctions.

Other facts

STATUS OF THE UK SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR

The Company Searches are not capable of revealing conclusively whether or not:

a winding up order has been made or a resolution passed for the winding up of a company/entity; or

an administration order has been made; or

a receiver, administrative receiver, administrator or liquidator has been appointed, since notice of these matters may not be filed with the Registrar of Companies immediately and, when filed, may not be entered on the public database or recorded on the public microfiches of the relevant company/entity immediately.

In addition, the Company Searches are not capable of revealing, prior to the making of the relevant order, whether or not a winding up petition or a petition for an administration order has been presented.

The Winding Up Enquiries relate only to:

a compulsory winding up;

a moratorium under Part A1 Insolvency Act 1986;

a restructuring plan under Part 26A Companies Act 2006; and

(i) a notice of intention to appoint an administrator, (ii) notice of appointment of an administrator, (iii) application for the making of an administration order and (iv) administration order (in each case to the extent presented to, filed at or originating from the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales located at the Royal Courts of Justice, Rolls Building, London, in Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and in Wales),

The UK Subsidiary Guarantor may be subject to insolvency proceedings in a jurisdiction outside of England and Wales depending on the laws and rules applicable to that jurisdiction and these insolvency proceedings may not be filed at either Companies House or the Central Registry of Winding Up Petitions listed in part 2 of Schedule 2 5 or any other District Registries or County Court of England and Wales. We have not searched any equivalent company registers or court information in any other jurisdiction. Accordingly, our searches and enquiries will not identify any insolvency proceedings commenced in another jurisdiction

INSOLVENCY

If the centre of main interests (as referred to in the Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings (recast) (the “Insolvency Regulation”)) of the UK Subsidiary Guarantor is not in the United Kingdom (and we give no opinion on this matter), the courts of England will not have the ability to open “main” insolvency proceedings in the United Kingdom (and if such person does not have an establishment (as referred to in the Insolvency Regulation) in the United Kingdom (and we give no opinion on this matter), the courts of England will not have the ability to open “secondary” insolvency proceedings in the United Kingdom) in respect of the UK Subsidiary Guarantor under the Insolvency Regulation. Under English law there is a rebuttable presumption that if the company has its registered office in a particular jurisdiction its centre of main interests will be deemed to be there (providing the registered office has not been moved within the three-month period prior to the request to open proceedings). As administration is a “main” insolvency proceeding under the Insolvency Regulation, it is unlikely that a person with a centre of main interests outside of the United Kingdom will be subject to United Kingdom administration.

This opinion and the parties’ rights under the Seventh Supplemental Indenture are subject to laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, such as those relating to insolvency (which includes bankruptcy, liquidation, administration, administrative receivership, reorganisation, reconstruction, moratorium, compromise, arrangement, amalgamation and other analogous circumstances), laws relating to reorganisation and other laws of general application and general equitable principles relating to or affecting the rights of creditors and any applicable public policy principles. These laws can apply to companies incorporated outside England, as well as to those incorporated in England.

In particular, on an insolvency:

contractual and other personal rights will abate pari passu with all similar rights, and contractual provisions which would conflict with this principle (such as a pro rata sharing clause) are ineffective;

transactions entered into in the period before the insolvency starts (that period generally being no longer than two years) may be set aside in certain circumstances; and

the ability of the Trustee to enforce any guarantee under the Guarantee may be subject to limitations.

Any provision in the Indenture which confers, purports to confer or waives a right of set-off or similar right may be ineffective against a liquidator or creditor.

EXECUTION

In the case of R (on the application of Mercury Tax Ltd) v Revenue and Customs Commissioners [2008] EWHC 2721, Underhill J. made certain obiter dicta to the effect that the practice of signing a signature page taken from a draft version of a document, and subsequently attaching the signature page to the final version of that document, might cause the document to be invalidly executed, notwithstanding that the attaching of the signature page to the final version of the document was authorised by the signatory. Therefore, if the signature page to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture signed by a party to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture was taken from a draft version of the the Seventh Supplemental Indenture and was attached to the final version of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture after being signed by such party, it is possible that an English court might hold that the Seventh Supplemental Indenture was invalidly executed by such party.
