(Conditions Precedent) in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent
(acting reasonably), or their delivery has otherwise been waived in accordance
with clause 10.3 (Waivers of Conditions Precedent).  The Facility Agent (acting
reasonably) shall notify Kosmos and the Lenders promptly upon being so
satisfied.

 

10.2                       Conditions Precedent to each Utilisation

 

The Lenders will only be obliged to comply with clause 14.5 (Lenders’

or will result from the proposed Loan;

 

(B)                               an Authorised Signatory of Kosmos certifies

or are otherwise required to maintain a reasonable and prudent level of working
capital in the Project Accounts;

 

(ii)                                 the aggregate principal amount outstanding

the Utilisation would not result in the aggregate principal amount outstanding
under the Facility exceeding the Borrowing Base Amount; and

 

(iii)                              the Repeating Representations to be made by
each Obligor are, in the light of the facts and circumstances then existing,
true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of a Repeating
Representation that contains a materiality concept, true and correct in all
respects);

 

(C)                               in respect of a Utilisation of the IFC

accordance with this clause 10 (Conditions Precedent).

 

(E)                                Prior to the first Utilisation of the
Facility (and not thereafter), any Default or Event of Default which arises by
virtue of the fact that the Security Interests granted pursuant to the Security

52

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

PART 3
OPERATION OF THE FACILITY

 

11.                              The Facility

 

11.1                       Facility Commitment amounts

 

(A)                               Subject to the terms of the Finance Documents:

 

(i)                                    the Lenders (other than IFC) have agreed
to make available to the Borrower a secured US Dollar revolving loan facility
and a letter of credit facility on the terms and conditions set out in this
Agreement (the “Non-IFC Facility”); and

 

(ii)                                 IFC has agreed to make available to the
Borrower a secured US Dollar revolving loan facility on the terms and conditions
set out in the IFC Facility Agreement) (the “IFC Facility”),

 

(together the “Facility”) in an aggregate amount equal to the Total Commitments.

 

(B)                               The Facility may be utilised by way of:

 

(i)                                    Loans (which, during the Availability
Period only, shall include Rollover Loans); and

 

(ii)                                 Letters of Credit up to an aggregate amount
not exceeding USD 200 million.

 

11.2                       Total Available Facility Amount

 

(A)                               The Total Available Facility Amount shall be
computed in accordance with this clause 11.2.

 

(B)                               If at any time the aggregate amount of all
Loans exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount, the Total Available Facility Amount
shall be zero.

 

(C)                               Subject to paragraph (B) above, the Total
Available Facility Amount shall be an amount equal to the lesser of:

 

(i)                                    the Total Facility Amount less (1) the
amount of all Loans which have not been either prepaid or repaid and (2) the
aggregate amount of any Letters of Credit issued, or to be issued, under the
Facility (only to the extent not cash collateralised by amounts standing to the
credit of the LC Cash Collateral Account); and

 

(ii)                                 the Borrowing Base Amount less (1) the
amount of all Loans and (2) the aggregate amount of any Letters of Credit
issued, or to be issued, under the Facility (only to the extent not cash
collateralised by amounts standing to the credit of the LC Cash Collateral
Account),

 

53

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

where the Borrowing Base Amount is determined by reference to the most recent
Forecast prepared in accordance with the Forecasting Procedures.

 

(D)                               For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time a
Letter of Credit is cash collateralised in whole in or part in accordance with
clause 15.1(B) of this Agreement, the Total Available Facility Amount shall,
subject always to paragraphs (B) and (C) above, automatically increase by the
amount of such deposit.  Conversely, in the event that the whole or any part of
the cash collateral is withdrawn in accordance with clause 15.1(B) of this
Agreement, then the Total Available Facility Amount will reduce by the amount of
such withdrawal.

 

12.                              Finance Parties’ Rights and Obligations

 

(A)                               The obligations of each Finance Party under
the Finance Documents are several.  Failure by a Finance Party to perform its
obligations under any Finance Documents to which it is a Party does not affect
the obligations of any other Party under the Finance Documents.  No Finance
Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the
Finance Documents.

 

(B)                               The rights of each Finance Party under or in
connection with the Finance Documents to which it is a Party are separate and
independent rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance
Party from an Obligor shall be a separate and independent debt.

 

(C)                               A Finance Party may, except as otherwise
stated in the Finance Documents, separately enforce its rights under the Finance
Documents.

 

13.                              Purpose

 

13.1                       Purpose

 

The proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit may only be used by the Borrower
for the following purposes:

 

(A)                               in the case of a first Utilisation of the
Facility, to repay all amounts outstanding under the Existing Finance Documents
in full;

 

(B)                               to pay Project Costs (including Relevant
Capital Expenditure);

 

(C)                               to pay Financing Costs (other than principal
and interest);

 

(D)                               to make advances to an Obligor under an
Intercompany Loan Agreement to enable such Obligor to pay Project Costs;

 

(E)                                to fund the DSRA and the LC Cash Collateral
Account;

 

(F)                                 to meet all costs and expenses incurred in
respect of making any Permitted Acquisition; and

 

(G)                               to issue Letters of Credit under the Facility.

 

54

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

13.2                       Monitoring

 

No Finance Party is bound to monitor or verify the application of any Loan made
pursuant to the Finance Documents.

15 May 2014; and

 

(B)                               the IFC Facility shall be available for
drawing during the period from and including the date of the Effective Date (as

14.2                       Delivery of a Utilisation Request

 

A Borrower may borrow a loan under the Facility by delivery to the Facility
Agent of a duly completed Utilisation Request not later than 10:00 am on the
third Business Day (or in the case of the first Utilisation only, the second
Business Day) prior to the proposed Utilisation Date and the Facility Agent
shall deliver such Utilisation Request to the Lenders within one Business Day of
receipt of the same by it.  For this purpose, if the Facility Agent receives the
Utilisation Request on a day which is not a Business Day or after 10:00 am on a
Business Day, it will be treated as having received the Utilisation Request on
the following Business Day.

 

14.3                       Completion of a Utilisation Request

 

(A)                               Each Utilisation Request is irrevocable and
will not be regarded as having been duly completed unless:

 

(i)                                    the proposed Utilisation Date is a
Business Day within the Availability Period;

 

(ii)                                 the amount of the Utilisation complies with
clause 14.4 (Amount); and

 

(iii)                              the proposed Interest Period complies with
clause 20 (Interest Periods).

 

(B)                               Only one Loan may be requested in each
Utilisation Request and a maximum of 3 Utilisation Requests may be requested in
any one month.

Date) of the amount of any proposed Loan under the Facility that must be:

(A)                               If the conditions set out in this Agreement
have been met, each Lender under the Non-IFC Facility shall make its
participation in the relevant Loan available by the Utilisation Date through its
Facility Office in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(B)                               The amount of a Lender’s participation in that
Loan will be equal to the proportion borne by its Available Commitment to the
Available Commitments under the Non-IFC Facility immediately prior to the making
of the relevant Loan.

Lenders and each of the LC Issuing Banks;

 

(ii)                                 an amount borrowed under the Facility
includes any amount utilised by way of Letter of Credit;

 

(iii)                              a Utilisation under the Facility made or to

(D)                               For the avoidance of doubt, in determining the

Event of Default is continuing or would result from the proposed Utilisation
and, in the case of any other Utilisation, no Default is continuing or would
result from the proposed Utilisation;

 

(ii)                                 the making of the proposed Utilisation
would not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the
Facility exceeding the lesser of the Total Facility Amount and the Borrowing
Base Amount or (ii) the aggregate of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by
the LC Issuing Banks exceeding USD 200 million;

 

(iii)                              the Repeating Representations to be made by

completed all applicable know-your-customer and compliance requirements which
are required by law in relation to the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit.

 

(C)                               The amount of each Lender’s participation in
each Letter of Credit will be equal to the proportion borne by the Available
Commitment of such Lender under the Non-IFC Facility to the aggregate Available
Commitments of all the Lenders under the Non-IFC Facility immediately prior to
the issue of the Letter of Credit.

 

(D)                               The Facility Agent shall notify the LC Issuing
Bank and each Lender (other than IFC) of the details of the requested Letter of
Credit and its participation in that Letter of Credit by the Specified Time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of a Renewal or Extension Request by the sixth Business Day before the date of
the proposed renewal.

 

(B)                               The Lenders shall treat any Renewal or
Extension Request in the same way as a Utilisation Request for a Letter of
Credit except that the conditions set out in paragraph (E) of clause 15.4
(Completion of a Utilisation Request for Letters of Credit) shall not apply.

 

(C)                               The terms of each renewed or extended Letter
of Credit shall be the same as those of the relevant Letter of Credit
immediately prior to its renewal, except that:

 

(i)                                    its amount may be less than the amount of
the Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal or extension;

 

(ii)                                 (in relation to a renewal only) its Term
shall start on the date which was the Expiry Date of the Letter of Credit
immediately prior to its renewal, and shall end on the proposed Expiry Date
specified in the Renewal or Extension Request subject to clause 15.4(F); and

 

(iii)                              (in relation to an extension only) its Term
shall start on the date which was the Start Date of the Letter of Credit
immediately prior to its extension, and shall end on the proposed Expiry Date
specified in the Renewal or Extension Request subject to clause 15.4(F)

 

(D)                               If the conditions set out in this Agreement
have been met, the relevant LC Issuing Bank shall re-issue and/or amend any

16.                              Letters of Credit — General Provisions

 

16.1                       When immediately repayable or prepayable

 

If a Letter of Credit or any amount outstanding under a Letter of Credit becomes
payable, the Borrower shall repay or prepay that amount within five Business
Days of demand by the relevant LC Issuing Bank.

 

16.2                       Fee payable in respect of Letters of Credit

 

(A)                               The Borrower shall pay to each of the LC
Issuing Banks a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it,
in the amount and at the times agreed in the letter between each relevant LC
Issuing Bank and the Borrower.  A reference in this Agreement to a Fee Letter
shall include the letter referred to in this paragraph.

 

(B)

 

(i)                                    Subject to (ii) below, the Borrower shall
pay to the Facility Agent (for the account of each LC Lender) a letter of credit
fee computed at the same rate as the Margin on the outstanding amount of each
Letter of Credit

 

61

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

for the period from the issue of that Letter of Credit until its Expiry Date. 
This fee shall be distributed according to each LC Lender’s LC Proportion of
that Letter of Credit.

 

(ii)                                 The Borrower shall be entitled to deduct,
from the letter of credit fee calculated as described in (i) above and paid to
the Facility Agent, in respect of each Relevant Lender, an amount which is the
product of the Margin and any Borrower Replacement Collateral (as defined in
clause 16.10 below) held in respect of such Relevant Lender (the “RL
Reduction”). The net fee distributed by the Facility Agent to each Relevant
Lender shall be the fee calculated according to such Relevant Lender’s LC
Proportion then reduced by the amount of the RL Reduction.

 

(C)                               The accrued letter of credit fee on a Letter
of Credit shall be payable quarterly (on each of 31 March, 30 June, 30
September and 31 December and as from the first of such dates falling after the
date of issue of that Letter of Credit) and on the Expiry Date for that Letter
of Credit.

 

(D)                               If the Borrower uses cash collateral to cover
any part of a Letter of Credit then the fronting fee payable to the relevant LC
Issuing Bank and the letter of credit fee payable for the account of each LC
Lender shall not (in respect of the part of the Letter of Credit covered by the
cash collateral) be payable.

 

16.3                       Claims under a Letter of Credit

 

(A)                               The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally
authorises each LC Issuing Bank to pay any claim made or purported to be made
under a Letter of Credit and which appears on its face to be in order (a
“claim”).

 

(B)                               The Borrower shall immediately on demand pay
to the Facility Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuing Bank an amount
equal to the amount of any claim under that Letter of Credit.

 

(C)                               The Borrower acknowledges that the LC Issuing
Bank:

 

(i)                                    is not obliged to carry out any
investigation or seek any confirmation from any other person before paying a
claim; and

 

(ii)                                 deals in documents only and will not be
concerned with the legality of a claim or any underlying transaction or any
available set-off, counterclaim or other defence of any person.

 

(D)                               The obligations of the Borrower under this
clause will not be affected by:

 

(i)                                    the sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness
of any claim or any other document; or

 

(ii)                                 any incapacity of, or limitation on the
powers of, any person signing a claim or other document.

 

62

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

16.4                       Indemnities

 

(A)                               The Borrower shall immediately on demand
indemnify each LC Issuing Bank against any cost, loss or liability incurred by
such LC Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason of such LC Issuing Bank’s gross
negligence or wilful misconduct and otherwise in respect of the obligation of
any Lender to provide cash collateral pursuant to Clause 16.10) in acting as an
LC Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit.

 

(B)                               Each Lender (other than IFC) shall (according
to its LC Proportion) immediately on demand by the Facility Agent (acting on the
instructions of the relevant LC Issuing Bank), indemnify each LC Issuing Bank
against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the LC Issuing Bank (otherwise
than by reason of such LC Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct)
in acting as such LC Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (unless that LC
Issuing Bank has been reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to a Finance
Document).

 

(C)                               The Borrower shall immediately on demand
reimburse any Lender for any payment it makes to an LC Issuing Bank under this
clause 16.4 (Indemnities) (other than any Cash Deposit made pursuant to Clause
16.10 but including in respect of any amount withdrawn from the Cash Deposit and
payment to any LC Issuing Bank under Clause 16.10(C) or 16.10(D)).  In the
absence of reimbursement of the LC Issuing Bank or Lenders by the Borrower
pursuant to this clause 16.4 within 5 Business Days of demand (the “LC Payment
Date”), the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Loan of an amount (in
Dollars) equal to the outstanding amount payable on the LC Payment Date and the
Borrower shall be treated as having agreed to borrow that Loan on the LC Payment
Date. The proceeds of each Loan made available by the Lenders in accordance with
this clause 16.4(C) and deemed to be made to the Borrower shall be paid to the
LC Issuing Bank (or, as the case may be, the Facility Agent on behalf of the
Lenders) in satisfaction of the obligations of the Borrower in accordance with
this clause 16.4 to reimburse the LC Issuing Bank or Lenders for the amount of
the outstanding payment.

 

(D)                               The obligations of each Lender and the
Borrower under this clause are continuing obligations and will extend to the
ultimate balance of sums payable by that Lender or, as the case may be, the
Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any intermediate
payment or discharge in whole or in part.

 

(E)                                The obligations of a Lender or a Borrower
under this clause will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing
which, but for this clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its
obligations under this clause (without limitation and whether or not known to it
or any other person) including:

 

(i)                                    any time, waiver or consent granted to,
or composition with, any Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of Credit or
any other person;

 

(ii)                                 the release of any other Obligor or any
other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement;

 

63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(iii)                              the taking, variation, compromise, exchange,
renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any
rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor, any beneficiary under a
Letter of Credit or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of
any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure
to realise the full value of any security;

 

(iv)                             any incapacity or lack of power, authority or
legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an
Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of Credit or any other person;

 

(v)                                any amendment (however fundamental) or
replacement of a Finance Document, any Letter of Credit or any other document or
security;

 

(vi)                             any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity
of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document, any Letter of Credit
or any other document or security; or

 

(vii)                          any insolvency or similar proceedings.

 

16.5                       Rights of contribution

 

The Borrower will not be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity from
any Finance Party in respect of any payment it may make under this clause 16.

 

16.6                       Role of a LC Issuing Bank

 

(A)                               Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a LC
Issuing Bank as a trustee or fiduciary of any other person.

 

(B)                               An LC Issuing Bank shall not be bound to
account to any Lender for any sum, or the profit element of any sum received by
it for its own account.

 

(C)                               An LC Issuing Bank may accept deposits from,
lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with
any member of the Group.

 

(D)                               An LC Issuing Bank may rely on:

 

(i)                                    any representation, notice or document
believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised; and

 

(ii)                                 any statement made by a director,
Authorised Signatory or employee of any person regarding any matters which may
reasonably be assumed to be within his knowledge or within his power to verify.

 

(E)                                An LC Issuing Bank may engage, pay for and
rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, surveyors or other
experts.

 

(F)                                 An LC Issuing Bank may act in relation to
the Finance Documents through its personnel and agents.

 

64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(G)                               An LC Issuing Bank is not responsible for:

 

(i)                                    the adequacy, accuracy and/or
completeness of any information (whether oral or written) provided by any Party
(including itself), or any other person under or in connection with any Finance
Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other
agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in
anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; or

 

(ii)                                 the legality, validity, effectiveness,
adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document or any other agreement,
arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under
or in connection with any Finance Document.

 

16.7                       Exclusion of liability

 

(A)                               Without limiting paragraph (B) below, the LC
Issuing Bank will not be liable for any action taken by it under or in
connection with any Finance Document, unless directly caused by its gross
negligence or wilful misconduct.

 

(B)                               No Party (other than the LC Issuing Bank) may
take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of the LC Issuing
Bank in respect of any claim it might have against the LC Issuing Bank or in
respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in
relation to any Finance Document and any officer, employee or agent of the LC
Issuing Bank may rely on this clause subject to clause 9.4 (Third Party Rights)
and the provisions of the Third Parties Act.

 

16.8                       Credit appraisal by the Lenders

 

Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by
it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each LC Lender
confirms to the LC Issuing Bank that it has been, and will continue to be,
solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of
all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including,
but not limited to, those listed in paragraphs (A) to (D) of clause 40.15
(Credit appraisal by the Lenders).

 

16.9                       Amendments and Waivers

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document, an amendment or
waiver which relates to the rights or obligations of an LC Issuing Bank may not
be effected without the consent of the LC Issuing Bank.

 

16.10                Cash collateralisation

 

(A)                               If and for so long as:

 

(i)                                    the long-term senior unsecured credit
rating of a Lender is, or is reduced to, below A-(Standard & Poor’s) or A3
(Moody’s); or

 

65

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(ii)                                 it becomes unlawful in any applicable
jurisdiction for a Lender to perform its obligations under Clause 8.4
(Indemnities) of this Agreement,

 

(any such Lender being a “Relevant Lender”) then, within two (2) Business Days
of the date of publication by S&P or Moody’s of such rating downgrade or the
date upon which the obligations become unlawful, the Relevant Lender shall,
unless otherwise agreed by the LC Issuing Bank, as security for (but without
prejudice to) its obligations under Clause 16.4 (Indemnities), pay to the LC
Issuing Bank an amount equal to its LC Proportion of the aggregate outstandings
under all issued Letters of Credit at such date (the “Cash Deposit”). The
Relevant Lender shall, within ten (10) Business Days of any increase in such
aggregate outstandings, pay to the LC Issuing Bank an amount equal to its LC
Proportion of any such increase (unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Bank)
(and any additional amount so paid shall form part of the Cash Deposit). If
requested by the LC Issuing Bank, the Relevant Lender shall enter into security
documentation over the Cash Deposit in form and substance satisfactory to the LC
Issuing Bank (acting reasonably).

 

(B)                               Any Cash Deposit made pursuant to this Clause
16.10 shall be placed by the LC Issuing Bank in a separately designated bank
account and shall bear interest (at the rate of interest customarily given by
the LC Issuing Bank for short-term cash deposits in amounts equal to such Cash
Deposit) from (and including) the date of deposit of any amounts in, until (but
excluding) the date of withdrawal of any amounts from, such account (such amount
held being the “Borrower Replacement Collateral”).

 

(C)                               The LC Issuing Bank shall only withdraw
amounts standing to the credit of such account:

 

(i)                                    for payment to the LC Issuing Bank up to
(and including) the amount of the Cash Deposit in accordance with Clause
(D) below; and

 

(ii)                                 in excess of the Cash Deposit, for payment
to the Relevant Lender, if so instructed by the Relevant Lender.

 

(D)                               Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause
16.4(B), each Relevant Lender hereby irrevocably authorises the LC Issuing Bank
to withdraw from any account established pursuant to this Clause 16.10 in
relation to such Relevant Lender such Relevant Lender’s LC Proportion of the
amount specified in any claim made under a Letter of Credit, up to the amount of
the Relevant Lender’s Cash Deposit in discharge of such Relevant Lender’s
obligations to it under Clause 16.4(B).

 

(E)                                If and to the extent the Relevant Lender at
any time fails to comply with its payment obligations under Clause 16.10(A),
then (without prejudice to Clause 16.4(B)):

 

(i)                                    the Relevant Lender hereby irrevocably
authorises the Agent to apply its entitlement to sums received by the Agent from
any source in respect

 

66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of payment under, and/or any other sum received by the Agent under or in respect
of, the Finance Documents, towards such payment obligations;

 

(ii)                                 the Borrower and the LC Issuing Bank may
(in their sole discretion) agree that the Borrower shall pay an amount to the LC
Issuing Bank:

 

(a)                                which may or may not be equal to the Relevant
Lender’s Cash Deposit or such part thereof as is unpaid by the Relevant Lender;
and

 

(b)                                which shall be placed by the LC Issuing Bank
in a separately designated bank account and shall bear interest (at the rate of
interest customarily given by the LC Issuing Bank for short-term cash deposits
in amounts equal to such amounts)  from (and including) the date of deposit of
any amounts in, until (but excluding) the date of withdrawal of any amounts
from, such account,

 

and

 

(iii)                              the LC Issuing Bank may withdraw amounts
standing to the credit of such account:

 

(a)                                to pay the LC Issuing Bank such Relevant
Lender’s LC Proportion of any claim made under a Letter of Credit; and

 

(b)                                as otherwise agreed between the Borrower and
the LC Issuing Bank.

 

67

17.1                       Repayment of the Facility

 

(A)                               Subject to paragraph (B) below, all Loans
outstanding under the Facility will be repaid semi-annually on each successive
15 June and 15 December commencing on 15 June 2014.  Repayment Instalments will
be sufficient to ensure that the Amortisation Schedule is met.

 

(B)                               Any repayment made during the Availability
Period may be redrawn, but any repayment may not be redrawn after the expiry of
the Availability Period.

 

17.2                       Amendment to Amortisation Schedule

the Amortisation Schedule will be amended so that:

 

(A)                               the final Repayment Instalment for the
Facility is to be paid on the Reserve Tail Date (the “Revised Final Repayment
Date”); and

 

(B)                               the Repayment Instalment payable on each
Repayment Date shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis so as to ensure that all
Loans under the Facility are fully repaid on the Reserve Tail Date.

 

18.                              Prepayment and Cancellation

 

18.1                       General

 

(A)                               Subject to there being no Event of Default
outstanding and other than an obligation to make a prepayment where the
aggregate outstandings under the Facility exceed the Borrowing Base Amount at
the end of the BBA Cure Period or upon a Change of Control, prepayments in
respect of the Facility shall be paid at the end of the next Interest Period
falling not less than 15 days after the date on which the event giving rise to
the obligation to make the prepayment occurs, and shall be applied pro rata to
each Repayment Instalment under the Facility.

 

(B)                               Any amount prepaid may only be redrawn if such
prepayment and Utilisation occurs prior to expiry of the Availability Period.

 

(C)                               Any prepayment shall be made with accrued
interest on the amount prepaid and, subject to Break Costs (excluding any
Margin), without premium or penalty.

 

68

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

18.2                       Illegality

 

(A)                               If it becomes unlawful in any applicable
jurisdiction for a Lender (an “Illegality Lender”) to perform any of its
obligations as contemplated by the Finance Documents, or to fund or maintain its
participation in any Utilisation:

 

(i)                                    that Lender shall promptly notify the
Facility Agent upon becoming aware of that event;

 

(ii)                                 upon the Facility Agent notifying Kosmos,
the Commitment of that Lender will be immediately cancelled; and

 

(iii)                              the Borrower shall either:

 

(a)                                if the Lender so requires, repay that
Lender’s participation in the Utilisations made to the Borrower on the last day
of the Interest Period for each Utilisation occurring after the Facility Agent
has notified the Borrower or, if earlier, the date specified by the Lender in
the notice delivered to the Facility Agent (being no earlier than the last day
of any applicable grace period permitted by law); or

 

(b)                                replace that Lender in accordance with
paragraph (B) of clause 18.10 (Right of repayment and cancellation in relation
to a single Lender) on or before the first date applicable under paragraph
(a) above in respect of which a payment is due and payable.

 

(B)                              If it becomes unlawful in any applicable
jurisdiction for the Borrower to perform any of its obligations as contemplated
by the Finance Documents:

 

(i)                                    the Borrower shall promptly notify the
Facility Agent upon becoming aware of that event;

 

(ii)                                 the Facility Agent shall notify the
Lenders; and

 

(iii)                              the Borrower shall repay each Utilisation
made to it on the last day of the Interest Period for that Utilisation occurring
after the Facility Agent have notified the Lenders or, if earlier, the last day
of any applicable grace period permitted by law.

 

(C)                              If it becomes unlawful for an LC Issuing Bank
to issue or leave outstanding any Letter of Credit, the relevant LC Issuing Bank
shall promptly notify the Facility Agent upon becoming aware of that event, and
upon the Facility Agent notifying the Borrower, (i) the Facility shall cease to
be available for the issue of Letters of Credit unless and until the relevant LC
Issuing Bank is replaced by another Lender in accordance with paragraph (B) of
clause 18.10 (Right of repayment and cancellation in relation to a single
Lender) and (ii) the Borrower shall prepay all Letters of Credit issued by such
LC Issuing Bank and use its reasonable

 

69

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

endeavours to procure the release of such LC Issuing Bank from all outstanding
Letters of Credit.

 

18.3                       Aggregate outstandings exceed the Borrowing Base
Amount

 

(A)                               In the event that a Forecast shows that the
aggregate of the outstandings under the Facility on the relevant Forecast Date
exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount as determined in such Forecast, the Borrower
shall, within 90 days of the date of the relevant Forecast (in addition to
Repayment Instalments under the Amortisation Schedule), make an additional
mandatory repayment of the Facility as necessary to ensure that the aggregate of
the outstandings under the Facility does not exceed the Borrowing Base Amount
provided always that:

 

(i)                                    subject to (ii) below, an Event of
Default shall arise in respect of such mandatory prepayment only if such
prepayment has not been made in full after a period of 90 days from the relevant
Forecast Date (the “BBA Cure Period”); and

 

(ii)                                 such mandatory repayment will be required
at the expiry of the BBA Cure Period only if, at such time, a Forecast prepared
immediately prior to the expiry of the BBA Cure Period confirms that the
aggregate of the outstandings under the Facility exceeds the Borrowing Base
Amount.

 

(B)                               The Obligors shall be entitled to make any
such mandatory prepayment by (i) depositing cash into an account with the
Account Bank secured in favour of the Lenders (which shall be a Project Account)
which has been established solely for this purpose or (ii) procuring a letter of
credit on terms approved by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably), in favour of
the Facility Agent, in each case, in an amount equal to the mandatory prepayment
required.  Any excess standing to the credit of such account on any Forecast
Date shall be released and may be withdrawn by the Borrower and applied for any
purpose as it sees fit (without reference to the Cash Waterfall) provided that
prior to being paid into such account none of the Secured Parties had any rights
to such amounts (if any Secured Parties had any rights to such amount, such
amount shall be paid into an Offshore Proceeds Account).

 

18.4                       Permitted disposals

 

If, as a result of a Permitted Disposal, the amount outstanding under the
Facility exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount, then the required amount of proceeds
from such Permitted Disposal to ensure that there is no such excess, after
having taken into account the impact of the Permitted Disposal on the Borrowing
Base Amount will be used to make a prepayment of the Facility.

 

18.5                       Insurance Receipts

 

(A)                               All Insurance Proceeds received by an Obligor
in excess of 10 million shall be paid into and retained in the Insurance
Proceeds Account until applied in accordance with the terms of this clause.

 

70

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(B)                               All net proceeds of any insurance claim
received by an Obligor in respect of a Borrowing Base Asset shall, unless the
Majority Lenders otherwise agree, first be applied in prepayment of the
Facility:

 

(i)                                    where the aggregate amount of the
insurance proceeds received is in excess of USD 100 million (less expenses); or

 

(ii)                                 if less than USD 100 million but more than
USD 10 million, to the extent not applied or committed to be applied to meet a
third party claim or to cover operating losses of, or in the reinstatement of, a
Borrowing Base Asset or purchase of a replacement Borrowing Base Asset or
otherwise in amelioration of the loss to a Borrowing Base Asset or reinvestment
in the Borrowing Base Asset within, in each case, one year of receipt.

 

18.6                       Change of Control

 

(A)                               Upon a Change of Control:

 

(i)                                    the Obligor shall promptly notify the
Facility Agent upon becoming aware of the occurrence of that event; and

 

(ii)                                 if the Majority Lenders so require, the
Facility Agent shall, on not less than 30 days written notice to Kosmos, cancel
the Commitments and the Borrower shall repay each Lender’s participation in any
Utilisations on the last day of the then current period under the Facility,
together with accrued interest and all other amounts accrued under the Finance
Documents.

 

(B)                               For the purposes of paragraph (A) above, a
“Change of Control” means any person (or persons with whom they act in concert)
other than a Permitted Transferee acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than
50 per cent. of the ordinary share capital in any Obligor carrying a right to
vote in general meetings of that company.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Change
of Control shall not occur on an IPO of any Shareholder (directly or indirectly)
in KEO or the Borrower, or an IPO of any Obligor.

 

(C)                               For the purposes of paragraph (B) above, any
persons includes more than one person acting in concert and a “Permitted
Transferee” means:

 

(i)                                    an Affiliate of a Shareholder or KEH, so
long as they remain an Affiliate (including any funds associated with Warburg
Pincus and Blackstone Capital Partners or the Blackstone Group); or

 

(ii)                                 a person who is otherwise approved by the
Majority Lenders (acting reasonably) provided that any Lender which does not
grant its approval may, on not less than 30 days written notice to the Facility
Agent and Kosmos, demand that its participation in the Facility be prepaid in
full and that its Commitment be immediately cancelled, provided that Kosmos may,
in accordance with paragraph (B) of clause 18.10 (Right of repayment and
cancellation in relation to a single Lender), procure

 

71

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the replacement of that Lender or the transfer of its participation and
Commitment to another Lender (with that Lender’s consent) rather than such
prepayment and cancellation provided that such replacement or transfer is
completed within the relevant notice period given by the relevant Lender.  If
such replacement or transfer does not occur within the relevant period, that
Lender’s participation in the Facility shall be immediately due and payable in
full by the Borrower and its Commitment immediately cancelled.

 

18.7                       Automatic Cancellation

 

At the close of business in London on the last Business Day of the Availability
Period for the Facility, the undrawn Commitment of each Lender under the
Facility at that time shall be automatically cancelled.

 

18.8                       Voluntary Cancellation

 

(A)                               Kosmos may, by giving not less than ten
Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior
written notice to the Facility Agent, without penalty, cancel the undrawn
Commitments under any Facility in whole or in part (but if in part, in a minimum
amount of USD 1 million or, if less, the balance of the undrawn Commitments). 
The relevant Commitments in respect of the Facility will be cancelled on a date
specified in such notice, being a date not earlier than ten Business Days after
the relevant notice is received by that Facility Agent.

 

(B)                               Any valid notice of cancellation will be
irrevocable and will specify the date on which the cancellation shall take
effect.  No part of any Commitment which has been cancelled or which is the
subject of a notice of cancellation may subsequently be utilised.

 

(C)                               When any cancellation of Commitments under the
Facility takes effect, each Lender’s Available Commitment under the Facility
will be reduced by an amount which bears the same proportion to the total amount
being cancelled as its Available Commitment under the Facility bears to the
Available Commitment (at that time) under the Facility.

 

18.9                       Voluntary Prepayment of Loans

 

(A)                               Subject to clause 18.1 (General), a
Utilisation may be prepaid whether in whole or in part by the Borrower without
penalty upon ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent.

 

(B)                               Any valid notice of prepayment will be
irrevocable and, unless a contrary indication appears in this Agreement, will
specify the date on which the cancellation shall take effect.  Any amount
prepaid or repaid may not be redrawn if such prepayment or repayment and
Utilisation occurs after the expiry of the Availability Period.

 

72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(C)                               Prepayment shall take effect:

 

(i)                                    on the last day of the then current
Interest Period; or

 

(ii)                                 on any other date subject to payment by the
Borrower, on demand of Break Costs (if any), in accordance with clause 21.4
(Break Costs).

 

(D)                               Unless a contrary indication appears in this
Agreement, when any prepayment of the whole or part of a Loan takes place, each
Lender’s participation in the relevant Loan shall be reduced rateably.

 

18.10                Right of repayment and cancellation in relation to a single
Lender

 

(A)                               If:

 

(i)                                    Kosmos reasonably believes that the sum
payable to any Lender by an Obligor is required to be increased under clause
23.2 (Tax gross-up);

 

(ii)                                 Kosmos receives a notice from the Facility
Agent under clause 23.3 (Tax Indemnity) or clause 24 (Increased Costs);

 

(iii)                              any Lender is or becomes a Non-Funding
Lender; or

 

(iv)                             any Lender is or becomes entitled to increase
its rate of interest further to clause 21.2 (Market disruption),

 

Kosmos may, while (in the case of paragraph (i) and (ii) above) the circumstance
giving rise to the belief or notice continues or (in the case of (iii) or
(iv) above) the relevant circumstance continues:

 

(a)                                give the Facility Agent notice of
cancellation of the Commitment of that Lender and its intention to procure the
repayment of that Lender’s participation in the Utilisations;

 

(b)                                in the case of a Non-Funding Lender or
Illegality Lender, give the Facility Agent notice of cancellation of the
Available Commitment of that Lender in relation to the Facility and reinstate
all or part of such Available Commitment in accordance with paragraph (B) below;

 

(c)                                 or replace that Lender in accordance with
paragraph (B) below.

 

(B)                               Kosmos may:

 

(i)                                    in the circumstances set out in paragraph
(A) above or pursuant to clause 18.1 (General) or clause 18.2 (Illegality) or
clause 18.6(A)(ii) (Change of Control), replace an Existing Lender (as defined
in clause 38 (Changes to the Lenders)), with one or more other Lenders (which
need not be Existing Lenders) (each a “Replacement Lender”), which have agreed
to purchase all or part of the Commitment and participations of that Existing
Lender in Utilisations made to Kosmos

 

73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

pursuant to an assignment or transfer in accordance with the provisions of
clause 38 (Changes to the Lenders); or

 

(ii)                                 in the circumstances set out in paragraph
(A)(iv)(a) of this clause 18.10, cancel the Available Commitments of the
Non-Funding Lender or Illegality Lender in respect of the Facility and procure
that one or more Replacement Lenders assume Commitments under the Facility in an
aggregate amount not exceeding the Available Commitment of the relevant
Non-Funding Lender or Illegality Lender in relation to the Facility,

 

in each case on condition that:

 

(a)                               each assignment or transfer under this
paragraph (B) shall be arranged by Kosmos (with such reasonable assistance from
the Existing Lender as Kosmos may reasonably request); and

 

(b)                               no Existing Lender shall be obliged to make
any assignment or transfer pursuant to this paragraph (B) unless and until it
has received payment from the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders in an
aggregate amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the participations
in the Utilisations owing to the Existing Lender, together with accrued and
unpaid interest and fees (including, without limitation, any Break Costs to the
date of payment) and all other amounts payable to the Existing Lender under this
Agreement.

 

(C)                               On receipt of a notice from Kosmos referred to
in paragraph (A) above, the Commitment of that Lender shall immediately be
reduced to zero.

 

(D)                               On the last day of each Interest Period which
ends after Kosmos has given notice under paragraph (A) above (or, if earlier,
the date specified by Kosmos in that notice), Kosmos shall repay that Lender’s
participation in the relevant Utilisation.

 

(E)                                Paragraphs (A) and (B) do not in any way
limit the obligations of any Finance Party under clause 26.1 (Mitigation).

 

19.                              Interest

 

19.1                       Calculation of interest

 

The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage
rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

 

(A)                               Margin;

 

(B)                               LIBOR; and

 

(C)                               Mandatory Cost (if any).

 

74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

19.2                       Margin

 

The Margin applicable to a Loan shall be a percentage per annum, based on
utilisation of the Facility, as follows:

 

Years (counting
from and including
the year of the
Signing Date)

 

Utilisation of Facility
is less than or equal
to 75% of the Total
Facility Amount

 

Utilisation of Facility is
more than 75% of the Total
Facility Amount

 

1 to 3 (inclusive)

 

3.25

%

3.50

%

4 to 5 (inclusive)

 

3.75

%

4.00

%

6 to 7 (inclusive)

 

4.50

%

4.75

%

 

19.3                       Payment of interest

 

The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan on the last day of each
Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six months, on the
dates falling at six-monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest
Period).

 

19.4                       Default interest

 

(A)                               If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable
by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the
overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before
and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (B) below, is 1.0 per
cent. higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount
had, during the period of non payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the
overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by
the Facility Agent (acting reasonably).  Any interest accruing under this clause
shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by that Facility Agent.

 

(B)                               If any overdue amount consists of all or part
of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest
Period relating to that Loan:

 

(i)                                    the first Interest Period for that
overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the
current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

 

(ii)                                 the rate of interest applying to the
overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be 1.0 per cent. higher
than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

 

(C)                               Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an
overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each
Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately
due and payable.

 

75

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

19.5                       Notification of rates of interest

 

The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders and Kosmos of the
determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

 

20.                              Interest Periods

 

20.1                       Selection of Interest Periods

 

(A)                               The Borrower shall select an Interest Period
for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan.

 

(B)                               Subject to this clause, the Borrower may
select an Interest Period of 1, 3 or 6 months or such other period as may be
agreed between Kosmos and the Facility Agent.

 

(C)                               No Interest Period for a Loan under the
Facility shall extend beyond the Final Maturity Date.

 

(D)                               The first Interest Period of each Loan shall
commence on the Utilisation Date and end on the same day as the end of the
selected Interest Period.  In the case of each Loan (other than the first Loan
under the Facility), each subsequent Interest Period shall end on the same day
as the current Interest Period of any outstanding Loan made under the Facility.

 

20.2                       Non-Business Days

 

If an Interest Period ends on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest
Period will instead end on the next Business Day, unless the next Business Day
is in another month, in which case the Interest Period will end on the preceding
Business Day.

 

20.3                       Consolidation and division of Loans

 

(A)                               Subject to paragraph (B) below, if two or more
Interest Periods for Loans under the Facility end on the same date, those Loans
will, unless Kosmos specifies to the contrary in the Utilisation Request or in a
notice to the Facility Agent, be consolidated into, and treated as, a single
Loan under the Facility on the last day of the Interest Period.

 

(B)                               If Kosmos requests (in either a Utilisation
Request or otherwise in a notice to the Facility Agent) that a Loan be divided
into two or more Loans, that Loan will, on the last day of its Interest Period,
be so divided into the amounts specified in such request, being an aggregate
amount equal to the amount of the Loan immediately before its division.

 

76

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

21.                              Changes to the Calculation of Interest

 

21.1                       Absence of quotations

 

Subject to clause 21.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by
reference to the Reference Banks but up to four Reference Banks do not supply a
quotation by the Specified Time, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the
basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

 

21.2                       Market disruption

 

(A)                               If a Market Disruption Event occurs in
relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each
Lender’s share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate
per annum which is the sum of:

 

(i)                                    the Margin;

 

(ii)                                 the rate notified to the Facility Agent by
that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be
paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a
percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation
in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and

 

(iii)                              the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to
that Lender’s participation in the Loan.

 

(B)                               In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event”
means if, on or about noon in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant
Interest Period none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the
Facility Agent to determine LIBOR for the Interest Period, or the Facility Agent
receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations exceed 35
per cent. in aggregate of all participations) that the cost to it of obtaining
matching deposits in the London interbank market would be materially in excess
of LIBOR.

 

(C)                               The Facility Agent shall notify Kosmos
immediately upon receiving notice from the Lender(s).

 

21.3                       Alternative basis of interest or funding

 

(A)                               If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the
Facility Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent and the Borrower
shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a
view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

 

(B)                               Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to
paragraph (A) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and Kosmos,
be binding on all Parties.

 

77

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

21.4                       Break Costs

 

(A)                               Kosmos shall, within three Business Days of
demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs
attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by it on a
day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

 

(B)                               Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably
practicable after a demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate
confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they
accrue.

 

(C)                               If, following a payment by Kosmos of all or
part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum on a day other than the last day of an Interest
Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum, a Lender realises a profit, and no Event of
Default is continuing, that Lender must pay an amount equal to that profit to
Kosmos as soon as practicable.

 

22.                              Fees

 

22.1                       Commitment fee

 

(A)                               The Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent
in respect of the Non-IFC Facility for the account of each Lender (other than
IFC) and in respect of the IFC Facility to IFC directly for the account of IFC,
a fee computed as follows:

 

(i)                                    when Commitment is available for
utilisation, at a rate equal to 40 per cent. per annum of the then applicable
Margin; and

 

(ii)                                 when Commitment is not then available for
utilisation, at a rate equal to 20 per cent. per annum of the then applicable
Margin.

 

(B)                               The accrued commitment fee is payable
quarterly (on each of 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December) in
arrears on any undrawn and uncancelled portion of the Commitments for the period
from:

 

(i)                                    in respect of the Non-IFC Facility, the
date of this Agreement until and including the last day of the Availability
Period; and

 

(ii)                                 in respect of the IFC Facility, the date of
the IFC Facility Agreement until and including the last day of the Availability
Period.

 

(C)                               Notwithstanding paragraphs (A) and (B) above,
the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such commitment fees to the
Facility Agent for the account of any Lender in respect of a Non-IFC Facility
and to IFC for the account of IFC in respect of the IFC Facility in each case
during the period in which such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender.

23.                              Tax Gross Up and Indemnities

 

23.1                       Definitions

 

In this Agreement:

 

“Tax Credit” means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of
any Tax.

 

“Tax Deduction” means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a
payment under a Finance Document.

 

“Tax Payment” means either the increase in a payment made by an Obligor to a
Finance Party under clause 23.2 (Tax gross-up) or a payment under clause 23.3
(Tax Indemnity).

 

23.2                       Tax gross-up

 

(A)                               Each Obligor shall make all payments to be
made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

 

(B)                               Kosmos shall promptly upon becoming aware that
an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or
the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly.

 

(C)                               If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be
made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be
increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount
equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been
required.

 

(D)                               If an Obligor is required to make a Tax
Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required
in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum
amount required by law.

 

(E)                                Within thirty days of making either a Tax
Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the
Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the
Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that
Finance Party (acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as
applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing Authority.

 

(F)                                 If an Obligor makes any payment to a Finance
Party in respect of or relating to a Tax Deduction, but such Obligor was not
obliged to make such payment, the relevant Finance Party shall within five
Business Days of demand refund such payment to such Obligor.

 

80

23.3                       Tax Indemnity

 

(A)                               Except as provided below, the Borrower shall
(within five Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) indemnify a Finance

or on account of Tax, by that Finance Party in respect of a Finance Document.

 

(B)                               Paragraph (A) above shall not apply:

 

(i)                                    with respect to any Tax assessed on a
Finance Party under the law of the jurisdiction in which:

 

(a)                                that Finance Party is incorporated or, if
different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is
treated as resident for tax purposes; or

 

(b)                                that Finance Party’s Facility Office is
located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

 

if in either such case that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the
net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or
receivable) by that Finance Party or that Finance Party’s Facility Office; or

 

(ii)                                 to the extent a loss, liability or cost is
compensated for by an increased payment under clause 23.2 (Tax gross-up); or

 

(iii)                              with respect to any Tax assessed prior to the
date which is 180 days prior to the date on which the relevant Finance Party
requests such a payment from the Borrower, unless a determination of the amount
claimed could only be made on or after the first of those dates.

 

(C)                               A Finance Party making, or intending to make a
claim under paragraph (A) above shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the
event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the
Facility Agent shall provide to Kosmos a copy of the notification by such
Finance Party.

 

(D)                               A Finance Party shall, on receiving a payment
from an Obligor under this clause, notify the Facility Agent.  The Finance
Parties will undertake to use reasonable endeavours to obtain reliefs and
remissions for taxes and deductions and to reimburse Kosmos for reliefs,
remissions or credits obtained (but without any obligation to arrange its tax
affairs other than as it sees fit nor to disclose any information about its tax
affairs).

 

23.4                       Tax Credit

 

(A)                               If:-

 

(i)                                    an Obligor makes a Tax Payment, and

 

81

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(ii)                                 a Tax Credit is attributable either to an
increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment,
and

 

(iii)                              that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and
retained that Tax Credit,

 

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party
reasonably determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax
position as it would have been in but for its utilisation of the Tax Credit.

 

(B)                               Nothing in this clause will:

 

(i)                                    interfere with the rights of any Finance
Party to arrange its affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit; or

Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in
relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in
respect of any Finance Document other than in respect of an assignment or
transfer by a Lender or any breach by any Finance Party of the terms of clauses
36.28 (Due execution of security assignments) and 36.30 (Lenders’ custody of
documents).

 

23.6                       Value added tax

 

(A)                               All consideration expressed to be payable
under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party shall be deemed to be
exclusive of any VAT.  If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance
Party to any Party in connection with a Finance Document, that Party shall pay
to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the
consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT against delivery of an
appropriate VAT invoice.

 

(B)                               Where a Finance Document requires any Party to
reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that obligation shall be
deemed to extend to all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the
costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines
that neither the Finance Party nor any other member of any VAT group of which it
is a member is entitled to credit or repayment of the VAT.

 

24.                              Increased Costs

 

24.1                       Increased costs

 

(A)                               Subject to clause 24.3 (Exceptions) the
Borrower shall, within five Business Days of a demand by the Facility Agent, pay

that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of the introduction of
or any change in (or in the

 

82

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

interpretation, administration or application by any governmental body or
regulatory Authority of) any law or regulation (whether or not having the force
of law, but if not, being of a type with which that Finance Party or Affiliate
is expected or required to comply), or as a result of the implementation or
application of, or compliance with, Basel III or any law or regulation that
implements or applies Basel III.

 

(B)                               In this Agreement “Increased Costs” means:

(iii)                              a reduction of any amount due and payable
under any Finance Document,

 

which is (a) material and (b) incurred or suffered by a Finance Party or any of
its Affiliates but only to the extent that it is attributable to that Finance
Party having entered into its Commitment or funding or performing its
obligations under any Finance Document.

 

24.2                       Increased cost claims

 

(A)                               A Finance Party intending to make a claim
pursuant to clause 24.1 (Increased costs) shall notify the Facility Agent of the
event giving rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall
promptly notify the company.

confirming the amount of its Increased Costs.

 

24.3                       Exceptions

 

(A)                               clause 24.1 (Increased costs) does not apply
to the extent any Increased Cost is:

 

(i)                                    attributable to a Tax Deduction required
by law to be made by an Obligor provided that this clause is without prejudice
to any rights which the affected Lender may have under clause 15.2 (Tax
gross-up) to receive a grossed up payment;

 

(ii)                                 the subject of a claim under clause 23.3
(Tax Indemnity) (or might be or have been the subject of a claim under clause
23.3 (Tax Indemnity) but for any of the exclusions in paragraph (B) of clause
23.3 (Tax Indemnity));

 

(iii)                              incurred prior to the date which is 180 days
prior to the date on which the Finance Party makes a claim in accordance with

discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the
First Currency into the Second Currency and (b) the rate or rates of exchange
available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum.

 

(B)                               Each Obligor waives any right it may have in
any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Finance Documents in a currency or

believes is a Default; and

 

(B)                               acting or relying on any notice, request or
instruction which it reasonably believes to be genuine, correct and
appropriately authorised by an Obligor.

 

26.                              Mitigation by the Lenders

 

26.1                       Mitigation

 

(A)                               Each Finance Party shall, in consultation with
Kosmos, use all reasonable endeavours to mitigate or remove any circumstances
which arise and which would result in any facility ceasing to be available or
any amount becoming payable under or pursuant to, or cancelled pursuant to, any
of clause 18.2 (Illegality), clause 23.2 (Tax gross-up), clause 24.1 (Increased
costs) or clause 21.2 (Market disruption) including (but not limited to)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

PART 6
FORECASTS AND CALCULATIONS AND BORROWING BASE AMOUNT

 

27.                              Forecasts and Calculations

 

27.1                       Forecast Procedures

 

(A)                               Not less than 30 Business Days before any
proposed or required Forecast Date, the Borrower and the Technical and Modelling
Bank shall consult together with a view to preparing and agreeing the relevant
Forecast including the Forecast Assumptions and all associated calculations and
information.  Kosmos shall ensure that a new or updated reserves report is
prepared by the Reserves Consultant for the Forecast prepared for 15 June 2011
and for each Forecast prepared on subsequent Forecast Dates falling at twelve
monthly intervals (or such earlier dates as Kosmos may elect).   Each party
shall consult in good faith and act reasonably, and shall make available
sufficiently experienced personnel, with a view to reaching agreement as soon as
reasonably practicable.  Each Forecast (and all Forecast Assumptions used) shall
have due and proper regard to any reasonable view expressed by any of the
Consultants in a report delivered for the purpose of preparing the Forecast, any
plan of development, work program and budget and the provisions and requirements
of the Project Agreements (and any updates thereto).  Any product pricing
proposal by the Technical and Modelling Bank shall be reasonable in the
circumstances and shall be made in accordance with current business practices,
applied on a consistent, reasonable and non-discriminatory basis and reflecting
market practice at the time.

 

(B)                               The Borrower shall provide its proposed
Forecast to each Lender 15 Business Days before the relevant Forecast Date and
the Technical and Modelling Bank shall provide its commentary on such Forecast,
including whether it agrees or disagrees with such Forecast (including, if
applicable, details of the grounds for its determination not to agree with the
Forecast).  Each Lender shall have 10 Business Days to approve the Forecast and,
once approved by the Majority Lenders, that Forecast will apply for the relevant
Forecast Period.  If any such Lender has not objected in writing to the Forecast
within such 10 Business Day period, then such Lender shall be deemed to have
approved the Forecast.  A Forecast shall only be deemed to have been accepted by
such Lenders if it has been approved (or deemed approved) by the Majority
Lenders.  In making any objection, such Lenders must act reasonably and no
objection may be made other than on the grounds that a Forecast Assumption which
has been used in the Forecast is not reasonable in the circumstances, or on the
grounds of proven or manifest error.

 

(C)                               In making any determination in the Forecasting
Procedures the Majority Lenders shall give due and proper regard to any
information provided (including any report delivered by the Consultants for the
purposes of the Forecast) or representations made by the Borrower and the
Technical and Modelling Bank.  Any determination shall take due and proper
regard of any plan of development, work program and budget (and any updates
thereto) and the provisions and requirements of the Project Agreements.  Any
determination in relation to

 

86

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

product prices shall be reasonable in the circumstances and shall be made in
accordance with current business practices, applied on a consistent, reasonable
and non-discriminatory basis and reflecting market practice at the time.

 

(D)                               If the Majority Lenders do not approve the
Forecast, the Borrower and the Technical and Modelling Bank shall prepare a
revised Forecast which satisfies, in all reasonable respects, the objections of
the Majority Lenders.

 

(E)                                If, for any reason, a Forecast is not agreed
prior to the applicable Forecast Date, the then applicable Forecast shall
continue to apply until the new Forecast is prepared and agreed in accordance
with the Forecast Procedures.

 

27.2                       Contents of Forecast

 

(A)                               Each Forecast will set out or include:

 

(i)                                    the Technical Assumptions and Economic
Assumptions upon which the Forecast is based (including, without limitation, on
product prices);

 

(ii)                                 an updated Model;

 

(iii)                              the calculation of the Borrowing Base Amount;

 

(iv)                             the calculation of any mandatory prepayment
required because the aggregate of outstandings under the Facility exceeds the
Borrowing Base Amount;

 

(v)                                calculations of the Field Life Cover Ratio
and the Loan Life Cover Ratio;

 

(vi)                             the calculation of the Reserve Tail Date;

 

(vii)                          the aggregate economically recoverable proved
(1P) reserves and the proved and probable (2P) reserves remaining to be produced
from the Borrowing Base Assets (reflecting any updated reserves report produced
by the Reserves Consultant in respect of that Forecast, or if no such updated
reserves report has been produced, reflecting the immediately preceding reserves
report as may be updated by Kosmos with the agreement of the Technical
Consultant and the Technical and Modelling Bank (acting reasonably);

 

(viii)                       the revised Amortisation Schedule (if required) or
confirmation that no revision to the Amortisation Schedule is required pursuant
to clause 17.2 (Amendment to Amortisation Schedule); and

 

(ix)                             such other reasonable information as the
Technical and Modelling Bank or the Facility Agent may reasonably require.

 

(B)                               All projections and calculations to be made
under this clause shall be expressed and made in US Dollars (at the Facility
Agent’s spot rate of exchange at the time if so required (which the Facility
Agent will provide promptly on request)).

 

87

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

27.3                       New Borrowing Base Assets

 

Whenever a new asset becomes, or is to become, a Borrowing Base Asset, a new
Forecast must first be prepared and provided to each Lender, in accordance with
this clause 27 (Forecasts and Calculations), together with a Sources and Uses
Statement, including that asset.

 

27.4                       Manner of Calculations

 

(A)                               All the calculations required for each
Forecast will be calculated using the Model on the basis of the Technical
Assumptions and Economic Assumptions determined for the purposes of that
Forecast.

 

(B)                               Where the manner of determining any of the
calculations required for a Forecast differs between the programme on which the
Model operates and the provisions of the Finance Documents, the Finance
Documents will prevail.

 

27.5                       Borrowing Base Amount

 

The Borrowing Base Amount shall be determined on each Forecast Date pursuant to
a Forecast prepared in accordance with the Forecasting Procedures.  The
Borrowing Base Amount so determined shall apply for the duration of the next
succeeding Forecast Period or until a new Forecast is prepared.

 

27.6                       Calculation of Borrowing Base Amount

 

(A)                               The Borrowing Base Amount for the purposes of
the Facility shall be the lesser of:

 

(i)                                    the sum of: (a) the net present value of
Net Cash Flow until the Field Depletion Date plus (b) the net present value of
Relevant Capital Expenditure, divided by 1.5;

 

(ii)                                 the sum of: (a) the net present value of
Net Cash Flow until the Final Maturity Date plus (b) the net present value of
Relevant Capital Expenditure, divided by 1.3.

 

(B)                               The discount rate utilised to determine the
net present values referred to in paragraph (A) above shall be eight per cent.
and shall be applied in calculating the net present value of cash flows.

 

27.7                       Model

 

(A)                               The Facility Agent, the Technical and
Modelling Bank and Kosmos may each make proposals with regard to amendments to
the Model which it believes:

 

(i)                                    in good faith are required for the
purpose of correcting any manifest error in the form or structure of the Model;
or

 

(ii)                                 to incorporate additional assumptions.

 

88

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(B)                               If the Facility Agent, Technical and Modelling
Bank and Kosmos are unable to agree on the required changes to the Model within
15 Business Days from the date on which such changes were proposed, then the
matter shall, on the request of Kosmos or the Technical and Modelling Bank, or
on the initiation of the Facility Agent, be referred for resolution to an
appropriate expert appointed by the Facility Agent (being a person having
appropriate independent expertise with respect to, but no interest in, the
outcome of the matter referred to it).

 

(C)                               The costs of any references to an expert and
the costs, if any, incurred in giving effect to any agreed revision to the Model
will be borne by Kosmos except, in the case of the costs of any reference to an
expert only, if the expert determines that any proposal by the Technical and
Modelling Bank or the Facility Agent in respect of the changes to the Model
which are in dispute could not be regarded as reasonable and are rejected by
such expert, in which case such costs shall be borne by the Lenders.

 

(D)                               Any amendments to the Model will not be made
until such time as such amendment has been agreed or determined (as appropriate)
pursuant to paragraphs (A) and (B) above.  Prior to such amendment being
incorporated into the Model, the Model will continue to be utilised without such
amendment.

 

(E)                                Where the manner of determining any of the
calculations required for a Forecast is amended as a consequence of any
amendments made to the Model, the Finance Documents shall be deemed to be
amended to reflect any such amendment.

 

27.8                       Approved Developments and Permitted Acquisitions

 

Prior to requesting the consent of the Majority Lenders to the carrying out of
any Approved Development (or the inclusion of any Field or Petroleum Asset (or
any part thereof) in the Borrowing Base Assets as an Approved Development) or to
the making of any Permitted Acquisition, the Technical and Modelling Bank and
the Borrower shall consult in good faith, and acting reasonably, they shall
prepare a proposal for the consideration of each Lender which includes all
relevant information for the Lenders to make an informed decision on whether to
grant the requisite consent (including appropriate reports from the Technical
Consultant, the Environmental Consultant, the Reserves Consultant and the
Insurance Consultant).  Any Approved Development or Permitted Acquisition must
be compliant with the Equator Principles (as confirmed by the Environmental
Consultant). The Technical and Modelling Bank shall include its recommendation
with the proposal on whether consent should be given.  In considering whether to
grant any such consent, the Lenders shall act reasonably and shall take due and
proper regard of any recommendation of the Technical and Modelling Bank (but
without any liability on the part of the Technical and Modelling Bank and each
Lender being deemed to make its own independent assessment) and the information
provided with the proposal.  If the Majority Lenders refuse their consent, they
shall provide the Borrower with reasonable details of the reasons why they have
refused their consent.  A Permitted Acquisition may not take place in Iran,
Libya, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Cuba, any country which is on a
sanctions list issued by the United States, the European Union (or any member
state) or the United Nations or any country designated by the Majority Lenders
(acting reasonably).

PART 7
BANKS ACCOUNTS, CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVE EQUITY

 

28.                              Bank Accounts and Cash Management

 

28.1                       Project Accounts

 

(A)                               Each Obligor shall establish and maintain each
of the Project Accounts, as required under the terms of this Agreement, with the
Account Bank in London or such other jurisdiction approved by the Facility Agent
(acting reasonably).

 

(B)                               The Project Accounts (other than the Ghana
Working Capital Cedi Account which shall be denominated in Ghanaian Cedi) shall
be denominated in US Dollars.  Any sum constituting interest paid in respect of
the credit balance on any Project Account shall be treated in the same manner as
any other sum credited to a Project Account.

 

(C)                               Each Project Account will be a separate
account at the Account Bank.  The Project Accounts will be maintained until the
Discharge Date.

 

(D)                               Amounts may be deposited into the Onshore
Working Capital Accounts, to the extent necessary, to meet local onshore
payments only, provided that the aggregate balance in such accounts may not
exceed USD 10 million (or equivalent) or such higher amount agreed by the
Facility Agent (acting reasonably).

 

(E)                                Subject to paragraph (D) above and to the
order of payments provided for in the Cash Waterfall, Kosmos shall maintain the
balance of the Offshore Proceeds Accounts and the Onshore Working Capital
Accounts, which, when aggregated and taken together with amounts paid in advance
for its liabilities under the Project Agreements, is prudent and reasonable.

 

28.2                       Other bank accounts

 

(A)                               Each Obligor shall not open or maintain any
bank accounts other than:

 

(i)                                    the Project Accounts (including such
other accounts established by KEG with the Account Bank which would be Project
Accounts but for the execution of the Onshore Security Assignment and the
Offshore Security Assignment by all the parties thereto in accordance with this
Agreement), which shall not be overdrawn at any time and any withdrawals from
such Project Accounts shall only be made out of cleared funds;

 

(ii)                                 the Distributions Reserve Accounts, which
shall not be overdrawn at any time; and

 

(iii)                              such accounts as may be necessary or
appropriate for it to perform its obligations as an operator in relation to the
Ghana Blocks and, except into which moneys received from, or for the account of,
any other party

 

90

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

may be paid as required (but any money being related to any carried interest
(including in respect of the carried interest of EO) in relation to any
Borrowing Base Asset shall be paid into an Offshore Proceeds Account) (an
“Interested Third Party”),

 

provided that in no event shall such accounts referred to in (ii) and
(iii) above, or any moneys standing to the credit of such accounts referred to
in (ii) and (iii) above, be available to the Lenders (except on an unsecured
basis following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause 37.6
(Insolvency) and/or clause 37.7 (Insolvency proceedings)) or subject to any
restrictions under the Finance Documents and shall not be subject to any
Security Interest in favour of any Finance Party (but may be secured in favour
of any other person other than the Finance Parties).

 

(B)                               The Lenders will account to KEH and/or the
relevant Obligor if and to the extent they receive any proceeds from any account
referred to in clause 28.2(A)(ii) or (A)(iii) above, and shall hold any such
moneys to the account of, and on trust for, KEH.

 

(C)                               Any Lender that is in receipt of proceeds as
described in paragraph (B) above shall:

 

(i)                                    within five Business Days notify details
of the receipt or recovery to Kosmos, KEH and the Facility Agent; and

 

(ii)                                 within five Business Days of demand by KEH,
pay an amount equal to such receipt or recovery to KEH.

 

28.3                       Appointment of Account Bank

 

(A)                               Any appointment of or change to the Account
Bank will become effective only upon the Account Bank executing, or new Account
Bank acceding to the terms of, the Project Accounts Agreements or such other
terms as may be approved by Kosmos and the Facility Agent (acting reasonably).

 

(B)                               Kosmos may, with the consent of the Facility
Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), change the Account Bank to
another bank which meets the requirements of paragraph (C) below, but subject to
paragraph (A) above and clause 28.1 (Project Accounts).  If the Account Bank
resigns, then Kosmos will appoint a replacement Account Bank which meets the
requirements of paragraph (C), but subject to paragraph (A) and clause 28.1
(Project Accounts).

 

(C)                               Each Account Bank shall be a bank whose
long-term unguaranteed, unsecured securities or debt has a rating of A- or
higher from Standard and Poor’s or A3 or higher from Moody’s (or equivalent) or
such lower rating as the Facility Agent and Kosmos shall agree in writing.

 

91

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

28.4                       Security Documents and Project Accounts Agreements

 

(A)                               The Project Accounts shall be subject to a
first ranking Security Interest in favour of the Secured Parties.  Kosmos shall
forthwith upon any change to the Account Bank, or upon opening any Project
Account which is not subject to the security constituted by the relevant
Security Documents, execute and deliver to the Security Agent such supplemental
Security Documents as the Security Agent and the Facility Agent may reasonably
require in order to create a first priority Security Interest over that Project
Account in favour of the Finance Parties.  Such supplemental Security Documents
must be in a form and in substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent and the
Security Agent.

 

(B)                               Kosmos shall, before any Project Account is
opened, procure that the Obligor and the Account Bank have entered into the
Project Accounts Agreements.

 

(C)                               In the case of execution of any of the
Security Documents and Project Accounts Agreements referred to in paragraphs
(A) and (B) above, Kosmos shall deliver to the Facility Agent documents which
are the equivalent of those referred to in paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 (Conditions
Precedent) in respect of such Security Documents and Project Accounts
Agreements, together with any legal opinions which the Facility Agent may
reasonably require, such legal opinions to be provided at the reasonable expense
of Kosmos.  All such documents must be in a form and in substance satisfactory
to the Facility Agent.

 

(D)                               The detailed operating procedures for the
Project Accounts will be agreed between Kosmos and the Account Bank, but in the
event of any inconsistency between those procedures and the Project Accounts
Agreements or this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

28.5                       Control on withdrawals following Default

 

If a Default has occurred and is continuing and has not been waived, no Obligor
may withdraw any moneys from the Project Accounts except:

 

(A)                               with the prior consent of the Facility Agent;

 

(B)                               to meet an Obligor’s payment obligations under
the Finance Documents (but not any payment obligations owed to any Junior
Finance Party or the Proceeds Agent, each as defined in the KEFI Intercreditor
Agreement) or the Project Agreements on the relevant due date; or

 

(C)                               to pay for Project Costs not included in
paragraph (B) above where:

 

(i)                                    the payment in question has been budgeted
for and the Facility Agent have given their written consent to the relevant
expenditure or cost being incurred; or

 

(ii)                                 the failure to make the payment in question
would materially and adversely affect the business or financial condition of
Kosmos or any other Obligor.

 

92

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

28.6                       Distributions Reserve Account

 

(A)                               Each Obligor may maintain a Distributions
Reserve Account into which the amount of any permitted distribution under clause
36.23 (Distributions), permitted indebtedness (other than drawdowns under the
Facility) and contributions to the capital of  an Obligor may be credited
subject to compliance with the Cash Waterfall and such amounts shall not be
subordinated to the rights of the Lenders.  Amounts standing to the credit of
the Distributions Reserve Accounts shall not be available to the Finance Parties
whether as secured or unsecured creditors of Kosmos and irrespective of whether
an Event of Default has occurred. The Obligors may grant security over their
Distributions Reserve Account in favour of any person and shall not be required
to grant any Security Interest over the Distributions Reserve Account in favour
of the Finance Parties. Sums standing to the credit of the Distributions Reserve
Accounts may be withdrawn and applied as the Obligor sees fit.

 

(B)                               The Lenders will account to KEH and/or the
relevant Obligor if and to the extent they receive any proceeds from a
Distributions Reserve Account, and shall hold any such moneys to the account of,
and on trust for, KEH.  If any other person has a Security Interest or claim
against amounts standing to the credit of a Distributions Reserve Account, any
such interest or claim shall be limited to these amounts and they shall not have
recourse to the assets of any Obligor generally, nor shall they be entitled to
make any claim or enforce against, or initiate any Insolvency Proceedings of any
kind, against any Obligor.

 

(C)                               Any Lender that is in receipt of proceeds as
described in paragraph (B) above, shall turnover such proceeds to KEH in
accordance with paragraph (C) of clause 28.2 (Other bank accounts) above.

 

29.                              Operation of the Offshore Proceeds Accounts

 

29.1                       Payments in

 

Unless a Finance Document expressly requires an amount to be paid into any other
Project Account, each Obligor must ensure that:

 

(A)                               all Gross Revenues received;

 

(B)                               the proceeds of any Loan;

 

(C)                              the proceeds of repayment of any loan made
pursuant to any FPSO Construction Financing;

 

(D)                              the proceeds of any Permitted Disposals; and

 

(E)                                any other amount payable to, or received by
an Obligor (including payments received under any offtake contract (and the
Obligors shall direct any person making such payments that any such payment
shall be paid into that account only)), but excluding any amount which may be
credited to the Distribution Reserve Account of Kosmos,

 

93

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

are paid directly into an Offshore Proceeds Account.

 

29.2                       Withdrawals – No Default Outstanding

 

(A)                               Unless otherwise provided and unless there is
a Default outstanding, amounts may only be withdrawn from the Offshore Proceeds
Accounts and the Onshore Working Capital Accounts (including by way of transfer
to any other account) if they are applied for the following purposes and subject
to the following priority:

 

(i)                                    first, payment of Project Costs provided
that, if the latest Sources And Uses Statement shows that there is a shortfall
in funding projected to be available, then such available funding must, unless
the Majority Lenders otherwise agree, be allocated to meet costs in the
following order of priority:

 

(a)                                Borrowing Base Assets;

 

(b)                                Ghana Block Assets; and

 

(c)                                 any other Project Costs.

 

In the event that there is any projected shortfall in funding, then the Facility
may not be used for a purpose set out above unless each of the other purposes
higher in the order of priority is fully funded by committed and available
funding for the then applicable Forecast Period (including amounts under the
Facility and assuming that there is no Default or Event of Default under the
Finance Documents).

 

(ii)                                 secondly, pari passu, payment of (or the
funding of an Obligor, including by way of payment under any Intercompany Loan
Agreement, to enable it to pay) any Financing Costs (excluding any payments of
principal) under the Facility due but unpaid (applied to overdue amounts first,
unpaid fees second, and unpaid interest third) or scheduled payments due but
unpaid under a Hedging Agreement;

 

(iii)                              thirdly, pari passu, payments of (or the
funding of an Obligor, including by way of payment under any Intercompany Loan
Agreement to enable it to pay) principal under the Facility due but unpaid
(applied to overdue amounts first and then to unpaid principal payments) and
payment of (or the funding of the Borrower, including by way of payment under
any Intercompany Loan Agreement to enable it to pay) any liabilities, including
any early termination payment, due but unpaid under a Hedging Agreement;

 

(iv)                             fourthly, payment of any mandatory prepayments
required because the outstandings under the Facility exceed the Borrowing Base
Amount as determined by the most recent Forecast;

 

(v)                                fifthly, payment of Scheduled KEL Debt
Payments which are made by way of a Scheduled KEL Debt Payment Distribution;

 

94

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(vi)                             sixthly, payments required to be made into the
DSRA up to the Required Balance;

 

(vii)                          seventhly, prepayments under the Finance
Documents and/or providing cash collateral under any Letter of Credit; and

 

(viii)                       lastly, so long as the Dividend Release Test is
met, to make distributions to its shareholders at the Borrower’s discretion,
which shall include making payments to the Distribution Reserve Account and
payments under any Intercompany Loan Agreement provided that the amount
distributed shall be based on the aggregate amount standing to the credit of the
Offshore Proceeds Accounts on the relevant payment date after the amounts in

30.                              Debt Service Reserve Account

 

30.1                       Funding of Debt Service Reserve Account

 

(A)                               Kosmos shall ensure on an ongoing basis that
deposits are made into the Debt Service Reserve Account in accordance with the
Cash Waterfall until the balance of such account is not less than the Required
Balance.  The funding of the Debt Service Reserve Account shall continue in
accordance with the Cash Waterfall until the Discharge Date.

 

(B)                               Failure to maintain the Required Balance
standing to the credit of the Debt Service Reserve Account shall not constitute
an Event of Default for the purposes of clause 37 (Events of Default), but
failure to apply amounts from the Project Accounts during the relevant Forecast
Period in accordance with the Cash Waterfall shall constitute an Event of
Default for the purposes of clause 37 (Events of Default).

 

(C)                               Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs
(A) and (B) above, Kosmos may (without being restricted by the Cash Waterfall)
make a Utilisation under the Facility to fund the Debt Service Reserve Account.

 

30.2                       Withdrawals from Debt Service Reserve Account

 

(A)                               Subject to paragraph (B) below, amounts
standing to the credit of the Debt Service Reserve Account may be withdrawn only
to pay any Financing Costs under the Facility and to make Scheduled KEL Debt
Payments in accordance with the Cash Waterfall.

 

(B)                               In addition, withdrawals may be made from the
Debt Service Reserve Account to the extent the amount withdrawn is equal to or
less than the amount (if any) by which the amount standing to the credit of the
Debt Service Reserve Account exceeds the applicable Required Balance at that
time.  Any such withdrawal may be applied in accordance with, and for the
purposes set out in, the Cash Waterfall.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

31.                              Authorised Investments

 

31.1                       Power of investment

 

Subject always to clause 28.1 (Project Accounts), Kosmos may require that such
part of the amounts standing to the credit of any of the Project Accounts as it
may consider prudent (having reasonable grounds for so considering) shall be
invested from time to time in Authorised Investments in accordance with this
clause and in a manner consistent with the provisions of clause
36.17(A) (Hedging).

 

31.2                       Type of investment

 

(A)                               Kosmos shall use its reasonable endeavours to
procure that there are maintained from time to time a prudent spread of
Authorised Investments and that the maturity of Authorised Investments is such
that they can be liquidated to enable all payment obligations under the Finance
Documents to be met on the due date.

 

(B)                               If any Authorised Investment ceases to be an
Authorised Investment, Kosmos will, as soon as reasonably practicable upon
becoming aware of this, procure that the relevant investment is replaced by an
Authorised Investment or cash, provided that if it does not propose liquidating
the relevant investment earlier than its maturity, it shall notify the Facility
Agent that such investment is no longer an Authorised Investment promptly upon
becoming aware of this and, subject to it having provided such notice, it will
not be obliged to liquidate such investment before its maturity date unless
either of the Facility Agent, acting reasonably, requests it to do so.

 

31.3                       Realisations

 

(A)                               Upon the realisation (whether by way of
disposal, maturity or otherwise) of any Authorised Investment, the net proceeds
of realisation shall either immediately be credited directly to the Project
Account from which the Authorised Investment or such investment was made, or
(unless a Default has occurred and is continuing) immediately be invested in
another Authorised Investment, whichever Kosmos directs.

 

(B)                               Upon the receipt of any interest, dividends or
other income from or in respect of any Authorised Investment, such interest,
dividends or other income shall be credited to the Project Account concerned
with the Authorised Investment or such other investment from which such
interest, dividend or other income derives, or (if such interest, dividend or
other income is derived from an Authorised Investment and such Authorised
Investment is to be retained after such interest, dividend or other income is
received and Kosmos so requests) the relevant interest, dividend or other income
shall be reinvested in that Authorised Investment.

 

96

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

31.4                       Project Accounts include Authorised Investments

 

(A)                               Any reference in this Agreement to the balance
standing to the credit of one of the Project Accounts shall be deemed to include
a reference to the Authorised Investments in which all or part of such balance
is for the time being invested. (other than for the purposes of determining the
balance required to comply with clause 28.1 (Project Accounts)).  In the event
of any dispute as to the value of any Authorised Investment for the purpose of
determining the amount deemed to be standing to the credit of a Project Account,
that value shall be determined by the Facility Agent acting reasonably and in
good faith and following consultation with Kosmos and having given due
consideration to any representations given by Kosmos within the period required
by the Facility Agent (which period shall not, in any event, be of shorter
duration than five Business Days).  If Kosmos so requests, the Facility Agent
will give Kosmos details of the basis or method of its determination.

 

(B)                               Kosmos may, by notice in writing to the
Facility Agent and the Account Bank, deem an Authorised Investment to be
concerned with a different Project Account so as to transfer Authorised
Investments between Project Accounts, if:

 

(i)                                    the aggregate amount standing to the
credit of each Project Account remains the same; or

 

(ii)                                 the transfer of an equivalent amount
between those Project Accounts would be permitted.

 

31.5                       Security over Authorised Investments

 

Prior to the Borrower making any Authorised Investment in England, the Borrower
shall ensure that it has entered into the Offshore Security Assignment.  To the
extent that any Authorised Investment is made in a jurisdiction other than
England, the Borrower shall execute and deliver, such other security as the
Facility Agent may reasonably require from time to time in order to ensure that
such Authorised Investment is secured to the Finance Parties by way of first
priority security, in a form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent
and the Security Agent, acting reasonably.

 

31.6                       Interest on balances in Project Accounts

 

Each sum credited to a Project Account from time to time shall, from the time it
is so credited until the time it is withdrawn therefrom (whether for the purpose
of making an Authorised Investment or otherwise for application in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement), bear interest at such rate as Kosmos may from
time to time agree with the relevant Account Bank.

the aggregate costs to be applied under any Sources and Uses Statement and/or
any Liquidity Statement delivered to the Facility Agent under paragraph

32.12                “Know your customer” and “customer due diligence”
requirements

 

(A)                               If:

 

(i)                                    the introduction of or any change in (or

after the date of the Facility Agreement;

 

103

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(ii)                                 any change in the ownership of an Obligor
after the date of the Facility Agreement; or

 

(iii)                              a proposed assignment or transfer by a Lender
of any of its rights and obligations under the Facility Agreement to a party
that is not a Lender prior to such assignment or transfer,

 

obliges the Facility Agent or any Lender (or, in the case of paragraph

(C)                               The Borrower shall, by not less than 10
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent, notify the Facility
Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) of its intention to request that
one of the subsidiaries (other than a subsidiary of a Borrower which owns
Borrowing Base Assets) becomes an Additional Guarantor pursuant to the Facility
Agreement.

 

(D)                               Following the giving of any notice pursuant to
paragraph (C) above, if the accession of such Additional Guarantor obliges the

identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is
not already available to it, the Borrower shall promptly upon the request of the
Facility Agent or any Lender supply, or procure the supply of, such
documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Facility
Agent (for itself or on behalf of any Lender) or any Lender (for itself or on
behalf of any prospective new Lender) in order for the Facility Agent or such
Lender or any prospective new Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has

whenever a Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with
any Finance Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount
as if it was the principal obligor; and

(A)                               the liability of each Obligor shall continue
as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and

the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.

 

33.4                       Waiver of defences

 

The obligations of each Guarantor under this clause 33 will not be affected by

moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any
trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and
enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those
amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the
same; and

no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance
by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents:

 

(i)                                    to be indemnified by an Obligor;

 

(ii)                                 to claim any contribution from any other
guarantor of any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents; and/or

under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant
to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party.

 

(B)                               If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment
or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment
or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or

(A)                               that Retiring Guarantor is released by each
other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether
actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by
reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the
Finance Documents; and

 

(B)                               each other Guarantor waives any rights it may
have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents
to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or
otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of
any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance
Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the
assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

which would commit an Obligor to expenditure which it would not be able to meet
from funds available to it, after taking account of forecast Project Costs and
Financing Costs.

 

(B)                               No term or condition of any Finance Document
shall prevent any Obligor from complying with its express obligations under any
Project Agreement, or require an Obligor to act or omit to act in a manner which

a Project Agreement including, but without limitation, Kosmos’ obligations under
the EO Participation Agreement.

 

(C)                               In the event that an Obligor has an obligation
under a Project Agreement to make a payment in respect of a Project Cost because

additional payment obligation (including reasonable details of how it arose and
any steps being taken by the parties in relation to the relevant default and

whom Kosmos determines, acting reasonably and in accordance with a prudent
marketing policy which it shall have in place from time to time, have the
financial capability and technical capacity to perform their obligations in
accordance with the relevant terms and taking account of the nature and size of
the transaction.  Financial capability may be measured by applying suitable
ratings tests, through credit support structures (including specific payment
terms, guarantees, security and letters of credit), the identity of the offtaker
(such as their market experience and reputation and whether they are part of a
larger corporate group), course of dealings, or such other reasonable criteria
as Kosmos may apply from time to time.  In assessing technical capacity, Kosmos
shall have regard to the experience of the offtaker, whether the offtaker is
sufficiently well equipped technically and managerially to perform its
obligations, and the availability of third party services and support.

to adequate reserve or provision.

during a BBA Cure Period; and

 

(v)                                such Shareholder Distribution being made,

purposes any Scheduled KEL Debt Payments).

due and payable, subject to:

Parties.

 

36.26                Further assurance

36.27                Delivery of certain documents

 

The Borrower shall use its reasonable endeavours to procure the delivery of the
final report from the Technical Consultant to the Facility Agent in form and
substance satisfactory to it no later than 15 Business Days from the date of
this Agreement.

 

36.28                Due execution of security assignments

 

(A)                               The Security Agent shall have safe custody and
control of the Assignments (which term shall, for the avoidance of doubt for the
purposes of this clause 36.28 (Due execution of security assignments), be deemed
not to include the Assignment of Reinsurance Rights until its execution by KEG
and the relevant insurers, it being agreed that Kosmos shall take all such steps
as may be reasonable (taking into account all of the circumstances at the time
and the steps taken previously by Kosmos) to procure its execution by KEG and
the relevant insurers).  The Security Agent shall execute and date such
documents for and on behalf of the Finance Parties in any of the following
circumstances:

 

(i)                                    if a Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Majority Senior Lenders have instructed the Security Agent to
execute and date the Assignments for and on behalf of the Finance Parties; or

 

(ii)                                 if instructed to do so at any time by the
Borrower.

 

(B)                               Each party to this Agreement irrevocably
authorises the Security Agent to execute the Assignments for and on behalf of
the Finance Parties and to date the Assignments when it is required to do so
under paragraph (A) above.  The Assignments shall be of no force or effect until
they are duly executed by the Security Agent and dated for and on behalf of the
Finance Parties in accordance with this clause 36.28 (Due execution of security
assignments).

 

(C)                               In the event that the Security Agent signs and
dates the Assignments in accordance with this clause 36.28 (Due execution of
security assignments), then the Borrower shall (and the Facility Agent may)
without the requirement for any further authorisation from any Obligor make a
Utilisation under the Facility to meet the payment of any stamp duty which is
payable as a consequence of the Assignments being signed and dated.  The
Borrower shall (and the Facility Agent shall if it effects the Utilisation under
the Facility) apply the relevant funds promptly in payment of the relevant stamp
duty and shall ensure that the Assignments are stamped and registered as soon as
practicable (and in any event within any time period required by law).  The
Borrower (or the Facility Agent, as the case may be) shall in each case notify
the Security Agent and each Finance Party upon making the payment of any stamp
duty and the stamping and registration of the Assignments.

 

36.29                Stamp duty and other impost waiver

 

The Borrower shall use its reasonable endeavours to seek a waiver or exemption
from any stamp duty, documentary taxes or any other similar tax, charge or
impost which may be payable upon the execution of any of the Assignments, or to
obtain confirmation

 

120

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

that no such duty, taxes, charges or impost would be payable upon execution. In
the event that such waiver, exemption or confirmation is successfully obtained
in relation to any Assignment, the Borrower shall promptly instruct the Security
Trustee to execute and date such Assignment(s) for and on behalf of the Finance
Parties in accordance with Clause 36.28(A)(ii) above.

 

36.30                Lenders’ custody of documents

 

(A)                               Each Lender undertakes that it shall not
deliver any Finance Document or any other document or agreement into a country
that would result in such Finance Document, other document or agreement (or any
party to it) becoming subject to (or liable for payment of) any stamp duty,
documentary taxes or any other similar tax, charge or impost (or impose any
obligation upon a member of the Group of KEH to reimburse any other person for
such a payment).

 

(B)                               Paragraph (A) above shall not apply to a
Lender at any time at which such Lender (i) has a right to take Enforcement
Action; (ii) has the written consent of the Borrower; or (iii) is required to
deliver such Finance Document or other document or agreement by any order or a
court or regulatory authority or other legal or regulatory requirement.

 

36.31                Security Documents: consents, ranking and perfection

 

(A)                               No Obligor shall be required to grant any
assignment of rights under any contract, or Security Interest over any asset
(including contracts and rights), where the consent of any Government or any
governmental body, regulatory body or state-owned or controlled company or
enterprise is required for the granting of such assignment or Security Interest.

 

(B)                               With the exception of those consents referred
to in clause (A) above, Kosmos shall use reasonable endeavours to seek any other
required third party consents required in relation to any Security Document,
provided that the obtaining of such consent shall not be a condition precedent
to any Utilisation of the Facility and provided that there shall be no fixed
date by which such consent must be obtained.

 

(C)                               Kosmos shall use reasonable endeavours to
obtain acknowledgments to any notices of assignment served in relation to any
Security Document, provided that receipt of such acknowledgments shall not be a
condition precedent to any Utilisation of the Facility.

 

(D)                               Where required by the terms of any agreement
which is binding upon any Obligor, any Security Interest granted in favour of
the Lenders shall be subordinated to the interests of the parties under such
agreement.

 

(E)                                With the exception of the Charges over
Shares, perfection of any Security Interest shall not be a condition precedent
to first Utilisation.

36.32                IPO Reorganisation

 

The Finance Parties agree that, notwithstanding the terms of any Finance
Document which, but for this Clause, may have prevented an Obligor from
participating in and/or implementing an IPO Reorganisation, each Obligor may
participate in and implement such an IPO Reorganisation and no term or condition
of any Finance Document which would, but for this Clause, prevent an IPO
Reorganisation, shall prevent such an IPO Reorganisation or require KEH, or any
Obligor or any of their respective Subsidiaries to act, or omit to act, in a
manner which would or might reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, restrict
or result in the obstruction of, or delay to, an IPO Reorganisation, provided
that: (i) such IPO Reorganisation is for the purposes of an IPO substantially as
described in the Form S-1 filed by Kosmos Energy Ltd. with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission on 14 January 2011 (including any updated
filing in relation to such Form S-1); and (ii) the interests of the Finance
Parties are not materially prejudiced. Without limitation (and without prejudice
to Clause 36.8(C), the foregoing shall require the Finance Parties to release
and discharge the Security Interests created pursuant to any Security Document,
provided that immediately upon such release substantially equivalent security is
granted in favour of the Finance Parties on substantially similar terms and such
that the position of the Finance Parties is not materially prejudiced. Nothing
in this Clause 36.32 shall prevent any Obligor from acting or omitting to act in
any way (including implementing an IPO Reorganisation) which would otherwise be
permitted by the terms of the Finance Documents.

 

36.33                Ghanaian security

 

(A)                               The Borrower shall use reasonable endeavours
to obtain a legal opinion from Ghanaian counsel confirming that the consent
obtained on 18 December 2010 from the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation and
the Ministry of Energy of Ghana, which was required in relation to the grant of
certain Security Interests (the “Ghana Security Interests”) contemplated by the
Security Documents (as defined in the Existing Finance Documents), would extend
to the grant of such Security Interests in favour of the Finance Parties in the
context of the Finance Documents.

 

(B)                               If such a legal opinion is obtained, the
Borrower shall then promptly enter into security documents in the required form
in order to grant to the Finance Parties equivalent Security Interests to the
Ghana Security Interests in the context of the Finance Documents. Such security
documents will be held by the Security Agent in accordance with Clause 36.28
(Due execution of security assignments) above.

 

36.34                IFC access

 

(A)                               The Borrower and each Guarantor shall (and

request (acting reasonably), such request to be made with reasonable prior
notice to the relevant Borrower and Guarantor (except if a Default is
continuing):

 

122

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(i)                                    permit representatives of the IFC and the

(iii)                              permit representatives of the IFC and the

Borrower and the Guarantors who have or may have knowledge of matters with
respect to which IFC and/or the CAO seeks information; and

 

(iv)                             provide all reasonable assistance, co-operation
and information in connection to such visits or access.

 

(B)                               The exercise by an IFC representative and/or
the CAO, and in respect of the CAO at its own expense, under paragraph (A) above
of any right to conduct site visits and/or of any access right shall be at the
sole risk and expense of such IFC representative (to the extent that such
expense exceeds USD 30,000 per annum) and/or CAO.

 

(C)                               When conducting site visits or utilising
access rights pursuant to paragraph (A) above, any IFC representative and/or the

December 2013 a revised Amortisation Schedule which reflects the reduction of
the Total Commitments on the date upon which this Agreement was amended and
restated in November 2012, from USD 2,000 million to USD 1,500 million. A
Default or an Event of Default will not occur solely due to a failure to reach
such agreement. In the event of a failure to reach such an agreement on or
before 31 December 2013, Kosmos and the Lenders shall be deemed to have agreed
to amend the Amortisation Schedule (and the Amortisation Schedule shall be so
amended with immediate effect) in order to reflect a pro rata reduction of all
Commitments and a pro rata reduction of all amounts set out in the column titled
“Amortisation Amount” of the Amortisation Schedule.

confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the
Facility Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the
other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender;
and

 

131

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(ii)                                 the New Lender entering into the
documentation required for it to accede as a party to the relevant Finance
Documents (including, but not limited to, the Intercreditor Agreement).

 

(F)                                 A transfer will only be effective if the
procedure set out in clause 38.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

 

(G)                               If:

 

(i)                                    a Lender assigns or transfers any of its
rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility
Office; and

 

(ii)                                 as a result of circumstances existing at
the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged
to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility
Office under clause 23 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or clause 24 (Increased
Costs),

 

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only
entitled to receive payment under those clauses to the same extent as the
Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have
been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

 

(H)                              Each New Lender, by executing the relevant
Transfer Certificate confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Facility
Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has
been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance
with the Finance Documents on or prior to the date on which the transfer or
assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(I)                                   Any assignment or transfer of part of the
Existing Lender’s rights and/or obligations must be a minimum of USD 5 million
and must not result in the Existing Lender retaining less than USD 5 million.

 

38.3                       Assignment or transfer fee

 

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes
effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of USD 2,500.

 

38.4                       Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

 

(A)                               Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an
Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility to a New Lender for:

 

(i)                                    the legality, validity, effectiveness,
adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

 

(ii)                                 the financial condition of any Obligor;

 

132

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(iii)                              the performance and observance by any Obligor
of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

 

(iv)                             the accuracy of any statements (whether written
or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other
document,

 

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

 

(B)                               Each New Lender confirms to the Existing
Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

 

(i)                                    has made (and shall continue to make) its
own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and
affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its
participation in the Facility and has not relied exclusively on any information
provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document;
and

 

(ii)                                 will continue to make its own independent
appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities
whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any
Commitment is in force.

 

(C)                               Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an
Existing Lender to:

 

(i)                                    accept a re-transfer or re-assignment
from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred
under this clause; or

 

(ii)                                 support any losses directly or indirectly
incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of
its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

 

38.5                       Procedure for transfer

 

(A)                               Subject to the conditions set out in clause
38.2 (Conditions of assignment and transfer or change in Facility Office) a
transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (B) below when the Facility
Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it
by the Existing Lender and the New Lender.  The Facility Agent shall, as soon as
reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer
Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and
delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer
Certificate on behalf of the other Finance Parties and the Obligors as well as
itself, and notify Kosmos of the date of the transfer and name of the New
Lender.  Each Finance Party and each Obligor irrevocably authorises the Facility
Agent to sign such a Transfer Certificate on its behalf.

 

(B)                               On the Transfer Date:

 

(i)                                    to the extent that in the Transfer
Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and
obligations under the Finance

 

133

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Documents, each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from
further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their
respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be
cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

 

(ii)                                 each of the Obligors and the New Lender
shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one
another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as
that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place
of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

 

(iii)                              the Facility Agent, each Mandated Lead
Arranger, the New Lender and the other Finance Parties shall acquire the same
rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have
acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights
and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to
that extent such Finance Parties and the Existing Lender shall each be released
from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

 

(iv)                             the New Lender shall become a Party as a
“Lender”.

 

38.6                       Copy of Transfer Certificate to Borrower

 

The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has
executed a Transfer Certificate, send to Kosmos a copy of that Transfer
Certificate.

(including its head office, representative and branch offices in any
jurisdiction) (each a “Permitted Party”) and:

 

(A)                               to any person (or through) whom that Lender
assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (or any adviser on a need to know
basis advising such person on any of the foregoing);

know basis advising such person on the rights and obligations under the Finance
Documents);

 

134

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(D)                               to any rating agency (provided only general
terms are disclosed in relation to the rating of a portfolio of assets), insurer
or insurance broker, a direct or indirect provider of credit protection in
respect of the Lender’s participation in the Facility only on a need to know
basis;

 

(E)                                to any court or tribunal or regulatory,
supervisory, governmental or quasi-governmental authority with jurisdiction over
the Permitted Parties who requires disclosure of that information (where the
Permitted Party has a legal obligation to provide that information or, if not,
is customarily obligated or required to comply with such requirement); or

 

(F)                                 to whom, and to the extent that, information
is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or regulation,

 

any information about any Obligor, the Group and the Finance Documents as that
Lender shall consider appropriate if, in relation to paragraphs (A) to
(C) above, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a
Confidentiality Undertaking (unless such person is already subject to
professional confidentiality requirements which are no less stringent than those
which are set out in a Confidentiality Undertaking) and provided that it shall
itself ensure that all such information is kept confidential and is protected
with security measures and a degree of care that would apply to its own
confidential information.

Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without
limitation:

 

(A)                               any charge, assignment or other Security
Interest to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

 

(B)                               in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any
charge, assignment or other Security Interest granted to any holders (or trustee
or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by
that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

 

except that no such charge, assignment or Security Interest shall:

 

(i)                                    release a Lender from any of its
obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the
relevant charge, assignment or Security Interest for the Lender as a party to
any of the Finance Documents; or

 

135

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(ii)                                 require any payments to be made by an
Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive
rights than, those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under

satisfactory to the Facility Agent.

 

(B)                               The Facility Agent shall notify Kosmos and the

it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender

nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or any of its respective
assets under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions
contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or
document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in
connection with any Finance Document; and

decision and the changes which the Majority Lenders (acting reasonably) would

Majority Lenders promptly to enter into any agreement effecting the HY
Noteholder Amendments, together with the changes required by the Majority
Lenders.

ADMINISTRATION, COSTS AND EXPENSES

 

42.                              Payment Mechanics

 

42.1                       Payments to the Facility Agent

 

(A)                               On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender
(apart from IFC) is required to make a payment under a Finance Document (other
than any Hedging Agreement), that Obligor or Lender shall make the same
available to the Facility Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a
Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds
specified by the Facility Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of
transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

 

(B)                               Payment shall be made to such account in
London (or, as the case may be, Paris or New York) as the Facility Agent
specifies.

 

42.2                       Distributions by the Facility Agent

 

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each payment received by
either of the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall
be made available by the Facility Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to
the Party entitled to receive payment (in the case of a Lender, for the account
of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the
Facility Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank in London
(or, as the case may be, Paris or New York).

 

42.3                       Clawback

 

(A)                               Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility
Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Facility Agent is not
obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or enter into or perform any
related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its
satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

 

(B)                               If the Facility Agent pays an amount to
another Party and it proves to be the case that the Facility Agent had not
actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the
proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Facility Agent shall
on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent together with interest on that
amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent,
calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

 

42.4                       Partial Payments

 

If the Facility Agent receives a payment for application against amounts due in
respect of any Finance Documents that is insufficient to discharge all the
amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under those Finance Documents, the
Facility Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor
under those Finance Documents in accordance with the Cash Waterfall.  This
clause will override any appropriation made by an Obligor.

currency in which the sum in respect of which the interest is payable was
denominated when that interest accrued.

Taxes shall be made in the currency in which the costs, expenses or Taxes are
incurred.

that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit
of that country designated by the Facility Agent acting reasonably (after
consultation with Kosmos); and

 

(ii)                                 any translation from one currency or
currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by
the central bank for the

 

148

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down
by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably).

 

(B)                               If a change in any currency of a country
occurs, the Parties will enter negotiations in good faith with a view to

Finance Documents) as the Facility Agent may deem necessary in the
circumstances;

 

(B)                               the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to

changes;

in the circumstances;

 

(D)                               any such changes agreed upon by the Facility
Agent and Kosmos shall (whether or not it is finally determined that a
Disruption Event has occurred) be binding upon the Parties as an amendment to
(or, as the case may be, waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents
notwithstanding the provisions of clause 50 (Amendments and Waivers);

 

(E)                                the Facility Agent shall not be liable for
any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including, without limitation for
negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but
not including any claim based on the fraud of the Facility Agent) arising as a
result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in

Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that
Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that
Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of
either obligation.  If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance

Schedule 6
Mandatory Cost Formulae

 

1.                                     The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the
interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the
requirements of the Bank of England (and/or the Financial Services Authority
(or, in either case, any other Authority which replaces all or any of its
functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

 

2.                                     On the first day of each Interest Period
(or as soon as possible thereafter) the Facility Agent shall calculate, as a
percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in
accordance with the paragraphs set out below.  The Mandatory Cost will be
calculated by the Facility Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’
Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of
each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per
annum.

 

3.                                     The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender
lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the
percentage notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent.  This percentage will
be certified by that Lender in its notice to that Facility Agent to be its
reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s
participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the
minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans
made from that Facility Office.

 

4.                                     The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender
lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the
Facility Agent as follows:

 

(a)                                in relation to a sterling Loan:

 

 

[g286574lg37i001.jpg]

per cent. per annum

 

(b)                                in relation to a Loan in any currency other
than sterling:

 

 

[g286574lg37i002.jpg]

per cent. per annum

 

Where:

 

A                                      is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities
(assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from
time to time required to maintain as an interest-free cash ratio deposit with
the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

 

B                                       is the percentage rate of interest
(excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum,
the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (A) of clause 19.4
(Default interest)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

C                                      is the percentage (if any) of Eligible
Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as
interest-bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

 

D                                       is the percentage rate per annum payable
by the Bank of England to the Facility Agent on interest-bearing Special
Deposits.

 

E                                        is designed to compensate Lenders for
amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Facility Agent as
being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference
Banks to that Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in
pounds per £1,000,000.

 

5.                                     For the purposes of this Schedule:

 

(A)                              “Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits”
have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank
of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England.

 

(B)                               “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees
contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may
be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the
acceptance of deposits.

 

(C)                               “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified
in the Fees Rules under activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any
minimum fee or zero-rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking
into account any applicable discount rate); and

 

(D)                               “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in,
and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

 

6.                                     In application of the above formulae, A,
B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent.
will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05).  A negative result
obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero.  The resulting figures
shall be rounded to four decimal places.

 

7.                                     If requested by the Facility Agent, each
Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial
Services Authority, supply to that Facility Agent, the rate of charge payable by
that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees
Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services
Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the
average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial
year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that
Reference Bank.

 

8.                                     Each Lender shall supply any information
required by the Facility Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional
Cost Rate.  In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the
following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

 

(A)                               the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(B)                               any other information that the Facility Agent
may reasonably require for such purpose.

 

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the
information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

 

9.                                     The percentages of each Lender for the
purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the
purpose of E above shall be determined by the Facility Agent based upon the
information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the
assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary,
each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special
Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of
incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility
Office.

 

10.                              The Facility Agent shall have no liability to
any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over
or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the
information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7
and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

 

11.                              The Facility Agent shall distribute the
additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on
the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information
provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and
8 above.

 

12.                              Any determination by the Facility Agent
pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an
Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of
manifest or proven error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

 

13.                              The Facility Agent may from time to time, after
consultation with Kosmos and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties
any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply
with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed
by the Bank of England or the Financial Services Authority or the European
Central Bank (or, in any case, any other Authority which replaces all or any of
its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest or
proven error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

consideration of us agreeing to make available to you certain information, by
your signature of a copy of this letter you agree as follows:

 

1.                                     Confidentiality Undertaking: You
undertake:

 

(A)                              to keep the Confidential Information
confidential and not to disclose it to anyone except as provided for by
paragraph 2 below and to ensure that the Confidential Information is protected
with security measures with a degree of care not less than that which you would
apply to your own confidential information;

 

(B)                               to keep confidential and not disclose to
anyone except as provided for by paragraph 2 below the fact that the
Confidential Information has been made available or that discussions or
negotiations are taking place or have taken place between us;

 

(C)                               to use the Confidential Information only for
the Permitted Purpose;

 

(D)                               to ensure that any person to whom you pass any
Confidential Information in accordance with paragraph 2 (unless disclosed under
paragraph 2(B) below) acknowledges and complies with the provisions of this
letter as if that person were also a party to it; and

 

(E)                                not to make enquiries in relation to the
Confidential Information of any other person, whether a third party or any
member of the Group or any of their officers, directors, employees or
professional advisers, save for such officers, directors, employees or
professional advisers as may be expressly nominated by us for this purpose,
provided that this paragraph shall not prevent or restrict you from conducting
and completing all necessary and appropriate due diligence in accordance with
your normal credit and underwriting approval processes and as required to be
performed in order to obtain any requisite credit or underwriting approvals in
relation to your possible participation in the Facility.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

2.                                     Permitted Disclosure: We agree that you
may disclose Confidential Information:

 

(A)                               to members of the Participant Group and their
officers, directors, employees, consultants and professional advisers but only
to the extent necessary for the proper fulfilment of the Permitted Purpose,
provided that:

 

(i)                                    such information is disclosed strictly on
a need to know basis and provided that the Confidential Information may not be
disclosed to any person in the Participant Group who is not working directly on
matters concerning your participation in the Facility; and

 

(ii)                                 appropriate information barriers or other
procedures as may be necessary are in place to ensure there can be no
unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, the Confidential Information to any
such person referred to in subparagraph (i) above;

 

(B)                               (i) where required by any court of competent
jurisdiction or any competent judicial, governmental, supervisory or regulatory
body, (ii) where required by the rules of any stock exchange on which the shares
or other securities of any member of the Participant Group are listed or
(iii) where required by the laws or regulations of any country with jurisdiction
over the affairs of any member of the Participant Group; or

 

(C)                               with our prior written consent.

 

3.                                     Notification of Required or Unauthorised
Disclosure: You agree (to the extent permitted by law) to inform us of the full

reasonable and practicable) or immediately upon becoming aware that Confidential
Information has been disclosed in breach of this letter.

 

4.                                     Return of Copies:  If we so request in
writing, you shall return all Confidential Information supplied to you by us or
any member of the Group and destroy or permanently erase all copies of
Confidential Information made by you and use all reasonable endeavours to ensure
that anyone to whom you have supplied any Confidential Information destroys or
permanently erases such Confidential Information and any copies made by them, in
each case save to the extent that you or the recipients are required to retain
any such Confidential Information by any applicable law, rule or regulation or
by any competent judicial, governmental, supervisory or regulatory body, or
where the Confidential Information has been disclosed in accordance with
paragraph 2(B) above.

 

5.                                     Continuing Obligations:  The obligations
in the preceding paragraphs of this letter are continuing and, in particular,
shall survive the termination of any discussions or negotiations between you and
us, irrespective of their outcome.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the
obligations in this letter shall cease twelve months after you have returned all
Confidential Information and destroyed or permanently erased all copies of
Confidential Information made by you to the extent required pursuant to
paragraph 4 above.

Breach, etc:  You acknowledge and agree that:

any responsibility for, the accuracy, reliability or completeness of any of the
Confidential Information or any other information supplied by us or any member
of the Group or the assumptions on which it is based or (ii) shall be under any
obligation to update or correct any inaccuracy in the Confidential Information
or any other information supplied by us or any other member of the Group or be
otherwise liable to you or any other person in respect of the Confidential
Information or any such information; and

 

(B)                               we and other members of the Group may be
irreparably harmed by the breach of the terms of this letter and damages may not

specific performance for any threatened or actual breach of the provisions of
this letter by you or any other person.

some or all of the Confidential Information is or may be price-sensitive
information and that the use of such information may be regulated or prohibited
by applicable legislation relating to insider dealing and you undertake not to
use any Confidential Information for any unlawful purpose.  As a result of being
given the Confidential Information you may well become insiders and, therefore,
be unable to take certain actions which you would otherwise be able to take.

 

8.                                     No Waiver; Amendments, etc:  This letter
shall not affect any other obligation owed by you to any member of the Group. 
No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this

Relevant Person (each a “Third Party”) may enforce the terms of this letter by
virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (the “Third Parties

the parties to this letter do not require the consent of any person to rescind
or vary this letter at any time.

any number of counterparts, and by the parties on separate counterparts, but
shall not be effective until each party has executed at least one counterpart. 
Each counterpart shall constitute an original of this letter, but all the
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Security Agent under this Deed shall be made free and clear of any Tax
Deduction, unless such Tax Deduction is required by law.

 

(B)                               The Chargor shall promptly upon becoming aware
that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or
the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Security Agent accordingly.

 

(C)                               If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be
made by the Chargor, the amount of the payment due from the Chargor shall be
increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount
equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been
required.

 

(D)                               If the Chargor is required to make a Tax
Deduction, the Chargor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in
connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum
amount required by law.

 

(E)                                If the Chargor makes any payment in respect
of or relating to a Tax Deduction, but was no obliged to make such payment, the
Security Agent shall within five Business Days of demand refund such payment to
the Chargor.

 

13.                              PROTECTION OF THIRD PARTIES

 

No person dealing with the Security Agent or any Delegate shall be concerned to
enquire whether any event has happened upon which any of the Rights conferred

consents, regulations, restrictions or directions relating to such Rights have
been obtained or

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

complied with or otherwise as to the propriety or regularity of acts purporting
or intended to be in exercise of any such Rights or as to the application of any
money borrowed or raised or other proceeds of enforcement.

 

14.                              CONTINUING SECURITY

thereafter) or any other matter or thing whatsoever.

 

15.                              OTHER SECURITY

 

The Charge shall be in addition to, independent of, and shall not be prejudiced
by any other Security or any guarantee or indemnity or other document which the
Security Agent may at any time hold for the payment of the Secured Liabilities
or any rights powers and remedies provided by law.  No prior Security held by
the Security Agent or any other Secured Party over the whole or any part of the
Charged Property shall merge into the Security constituted by this Deed.

its obligations under this Deed and this Security (whether or not known to the
Chargor or the Security Agent or any Secured Party) including:

 

(A)                               any variation, novation, amendment,
supplement, extension (whether of maturity or otherwise) or restatement (however

(B)                               time being given, or any other indulgence or
concession being granted, by the Security Agent to the Chargor or any other

(C)                               the taking, holding, failure to take or hold,
varying, realisation, non-enforcement, non-perfection or release by the Security
Agent or any other person (including the Obligors) of any other Security, or any
guarantee or indemnity or other document or any non-presentment or
non-observance of formality or other requirement in respect of any instruments
or any failure to realise the full value of any other Security; or

 

(D)                               the insolvency, administration,
reorganisation, consolidation, merger, liquidation or dissolution of, or any
analogous proceeding in respect of, the Chargor or any other person (including
the other Obligors); or

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(E)                                any change in the constitution of the
Chargor; or

 

(F)                                 any amalgamation, merger or reconstruction

(H)                              the making or absence of any demand for payment
of any Secured Liabilities on the Chargor or any other person, whether by the
Security Agent or any other person; or

 

(I)                                   any arrangement or compromise entered into
by the Security Agent with the Chargor or any other person (including the other
Obligors) or the release of the Charger or any other person (including the other
Obligors) under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor;
or

 

(J)                                   any incapacity or lack of powers,
authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or
status of, the Chargor or any other person (including the Obligors); or

 

(K)                              any replacement of any Finance Document or any
other document or security including without limitation any change in the
purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of
any new facility under any Finance Document or other documents and any
amendment, variation, waiver or release of any of the Secured Liabilities; or

 

(L)                                any unenforceability, illegality or

(M)                            any other thing done or omitted or neglected to
be done by the Security Agent or any other person or any other omission,
dealing, fact, matter or thing which, but for this provision, might operate to
prejudice, reduce, release or affect the liability of the Chargor for the
Secured Liabilities whether or not known to the Chargor, the Security Agent or
any Secured Party.

 

16.2                       Non-competition

 

Until all the Secured Liabilities have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid
and discharged in full, the Chargor shall not (other than in accordance with the
Facility Agreement or with the prior written consent of the Security Agent):

 

(A)                               claim, rank, prove or vote as a creditor of
the Company or its estate; or

The Chargor will hold on trust for, and forthwith pay or transfer to, the
Security Agent all payments or benefits received by it contrary to the above.

set-off, counterclaimed or combined to the Security Agent.

 

17.                              RELEASE OF CHARGED PROPERTY

 

17.1                       Release of Charged Property

 

If, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Agent is
satisfied that:

 

(A)                               all Secured Liabilities have been irrevocably
paid or discharged in full and the Facility Agreement have been terminated and
the Security Agent and the Secured Parties having no further actual or
contingent obligations to make advances or provide other financial accommodation
to the Borrower or any other person under the Facility Agreement;

 

(B)                               Security or a guarantee for the Secured
Liabilities, in each case acceptable to the Security Agent, has been provided in
substitution for this Deed; or

 

(C)                               the Chargor has entered into legally binding
arrangements to transfer all or part of the Charged Property to a Permitted
Transferee and such Permitted Transferee has entered into legally binding
arrangements with the Security Agent to grant to the Security Agent security
over all or such part of the Charged Property (as the case may be) on
substantially the same terms as those contained in this Deed,

 

then, the Security Agent shall, at the request and cost of the Chargor and
subject to Clause 17.2 (Retention of Deed) execute such deeds and do all such
acts and things as may be necessary to release the Charged Property (or, in the
case of Clause 17.1(C), the relevant Charged Property) from the Charge.

 

17.2                       Retention of Deed

 

If the Chargor requests the Security Agent to release the Charged Property from
the Charge following any payment or discharge made or Security or guarantee
given in relation to the Secured Liabilities by a person other than the Chargor
or the Borrower (a “Relevant Transaction”) and the Security Agent reasonably
considers that the Relevant Transaction is capable of being avoided, reduced or
invalidated by virtue of applicable law, the Security Agent shall be entitled to
retain this Deed (and all stock and share certificates, documents of title and
other documentary evidence of ownership in relation to the Charged Property
deposited with the Security Agent pursuant to Clause 4 (Covenant to Deposit and
Further Assurances)) and shall not be obliged to release the Charged Property
from the Charge until the expiry of the Retention Period in relation to that
Relevant Transaction.  If at any time before the expiry of that Retention Period
any material step has been taken for or with a view to the administration,
liquidation or dissolution of such other person or any analogous proceeding in
respect of such other person, the Security Agent may continue to retain this
Deed (and all such stock and share certificates, documents of title and
documentary evidence) and shall not be

 

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

obliged to release the Charged Property from the Charge for such further period
as the Security Agent may reasonably determine.

 

17.3                       Retention Period

 

For the purpose of Clause 17.2 (Retention of Deed) “Retention Period” means, in
relation to any Relevant Transaction, the period which commences on the date
when that Relevant Transaction was made or given, and which ends on the date
falling one month after the expiration of the maximum period within which that
Relevant Transaction can be avoided, reduced or invalidated by virtue of any
applicable law or for any other reason whatsoever.

 

18.                              POWER OF ATTORNEY

 

18.1                       Appointment

 

The Chargor hereby appoints, irrevocably and by way of security, the Security
Agent and any person nominated in writing by the Security Agent as attorney of
the Chargor severally to be the attorney of the Chargor (with full powers of
substitution and delegation), on its behalf and in its name or otherwise, at
such time and in such manner as the attorney may think fit:

 

(A)                               to do anything which the Chargor is or may be
obliged to do (but has not done) under this Deed including, but without
limitation, following an Event of Default that is continuing, to complete and
execute under hand or as a deed any transfer of Shares and the execution and
delivery of any deeds, charges, assignments or other Security; and

 

(B)                               generally to enable the exercise of all or any
of the Rights conferred on the Security Agent in relation to the Charged
Property or under or in connection with this Deed.

 

18.2                       Ratification

 

The Chargor covenants to ratify and confirm whatever any attorney shall do or
purport to do in the exercise or purported exercise of the power of attorney in
Clause 18.1 (Appointment).

 

19.                              CURRENCY INDEMNITY

 

(A)                               If any sum due from the Chargor under this
Deed (a “Sum”), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a
Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the “First Currency”) in which that
Sum is payable into another currency (the “Second Currency”) for the purpose of:

 

(i)                                    making or filing a claim or proof against
the Chargor; or

 

(ii)                                 obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment
or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings,

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the Chargor shall as an independent obligation, within five Business Days of
demand, indemnify the Security Agent against any cost, loss or liability arising
out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between
(A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into
the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that
person at the time of its receipt of that Sum.

 

(B)                               The Chargor waives any right it may have in
any jurisdiction to pay any amount due under this Deed in a currency or currency
unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.

 

20.                              CERTIFICATE TO BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE

 

For all purposes, including any Proceedings, a copy of a certificate signed by
an officer of the Security Agent as to the amount of any indebtedness comprised
in the Secured Liabilities for the time being shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive evidence against the Chargor as to the amount thereof.

 

21.                              COSTS AND EXPENSES

 

21.1                       Transaction Expenses

 

The Borrower shall, within fifteen Business Days of demand, pay to the Security

The Chargor shall, within five Business Days of demand, pay to the Security

preservation of rights under, this Deed.

 

22.                              STAMP TAXES

respect of this Deed (other than in respect of an assignment or transfer by a
Lender) in accordance with Clause 15.5 (Stamp Taxes) of the Facility Agreement.

Judgment; and

 

(D)                               to the extent permitted by law, it shall not,

(iii)                             irrevocably agrees that failure by a process
agent to notify the Borrower of the process will not invalidate the proceedings
concerned.

 

(B)                              If the agent referred to in paragraph (A) of
this Clause 29 (or any replacement agent appointed pursuant to this paragraph
(B)) at any time ceases for any reason to act as such, as the case may be, the
Chargor shall as soon as reasonably practicable appoint a replacement agent to
accept service having an address for service in England or Wales and shall

failing such appointment and notification, the agent referred to in paragraph
(A) of this Clause 29 (or any replacement agent appointed pursuant to this
paragraph (B)) shall continue to be authorised to act as agent for service of
process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts on behalf of
the relevant party and shall constitute good service.

 

(C)                              Any document addressed in accordance with
Clause 29(A) shall be deemed to have been duly served if:

left; or

 

(ii)                                sent by first class post, two clear Business
Days after posting.
