(b) the Parent Borrower entering into a new supply of services agreement with Green Nation Ltd on or before 30 January 2022, which is to replace the existing Supply of Services Agreement (as defined in the Master Definitions Schedule) as amended and restated or varied from time to time)) (the "Supply of Services Agreement").

in each case, pursuant to a consent letter dated 27 September 2021 (the "Consent Letter" and the consents pursuant to the Consent Letter, the "Consents").

The Consents have been granted subject to a number of conditions including (among other things) that:

   (b)        the terms of the On-Lending Arrangements at all times include: 

(i) a mandatory prepayment provision, to take effect upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default under clause 22.8 (Ownership of the Borrowers) of the Borrower Loan Agreement; and

(ii) a mandatory prepayment provision under which all loans advanced thereunder become due and payable if there is any material adverse change in any applicable law or any published practice or published concession of HMRC which will affect the Original OpCo Borrower by wholly preventing the use of or countering the availability of any:

   (A)     non-trading loan relationship deficits by the Original OpCo Borrower; or 
   (B)      carried-forward losses by the Original OpCo Borrower; 

(c) the Original OpCo Borrower's existing (whether arising in the current or any historic accounting period) non-trading loan relationship deficits shall not be used or applied with respect to any non-trading profits other than such non-trading loan relationship credits or other non-trading profits arising under or in respect of the On-Lending Arrangement (without the consent of the Controlling Party (with any response to a request for consent not to be unreasonably delayed));

(d) the Original OpCo Borrower shall not (and shall procure that certain of its related parties do not) (the Original OpCo Borrower and such related parties together the "Corporate Group") write off or otherwise impair any non-trading loan relationship debits or deficits in respect of the On-Lending Arrangements (without the consent of the Controlling Party (with any response to a request for consent not to be unreasonably delayed)) and not knowingly take any step that would directly and materially prejudice the availability of any non-trading loan relationship debit or deficit to the Original OpCo Borrower (without the consent of the Controlling Party (with any response to a request for consent not to be unreasonably delayed));

(e) the Original OpCo Borrower shall not make any loans under the On-Lending Arrangements and all amounts owing thereunder shall be immediately repaid if the Corporate Group has aggregate income profits and chargeable gains for UK corporation tax purposes of GBP5,000,000 in any one accounting period (without the consent of the Controlling Party (with any response to a request for consent not to be unreasonably delayed)); and

(f) the Original OpCo Borrower shall notify the Controlling Party promptly if the Corporate Group ceases to be a "small company" for the purpose of UK transfer pricing legislation and the Controlling Party and the Original OpCo Borrower shall consider and agree in good faith any changes necessary to the On-Lending Arrangements as a result of such change in status.

In connection with the matters set out in this notice and at the direction of the sole Noteholder acting by way of written resolution, the Issuer and the Note Trustee have also entered into the Consent Letter.
