		(a)	guarantees to the Security Trustee punctual performance by the Borrower of all the Borrower’s obligations

Document on the date when it would have been due. Any such demand for indemnification shall be made through the Security Trustee,
for itself or on behalf of the Secured Parties. The amount payable by the Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount

The Guarantor shall be liable
under this Guarantee as a principal and independent debtor and accordingly it shall not have, as regards this Guarantee, any of
the rights or defences of a surety.


 


		3.2	Waiver of rights and defences



 


Without limiting the generality
of Clause 3.1 (Principal and independent debtor), the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee will not be affected
by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under
this Guarantee (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Secured Party) including:


 


		(a)	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, the Borrower or other person;



 


		(b)	the release of the Borrower or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement
with any creditor of any affiliate of the Borrower;



 


		(c)	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, the Borrower 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;



 


		(d)	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in
the members or status of the Borrower or any other person;



 


		(e)	any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or
not more onerous) or 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 document or security;



 




    	 	3

Documents;



 


		(i)	any failure whatsoever promptly or properly to exercise or enforce any such right or Security Interest,
including a failure to realise for its full market value an asset covered by such a Security Interest; or



 


		(j)	any other Finance Document or any Security Interest now being or later becoming void, unenforceable,
illegal or invalid or otherwise defective for any reason, including a neglect to register it.



 


		4	Expenses



 


		4.1	Costs of preservation of rights, enforcement etc



 


The Guarantor shall pay to the
Security Trustee on its demand the amount of all expenses incurred by the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party in connection
with any matter arising out of this Guarantee or any Security Interest connected with it, including any advice, claim or proceedings
relating to this Guarantee or such a Security Interest.


 


		4.2	Fees and expenses payable under Loan Agreement



 


Clause 4.1 (Costs of preservation
of rights, enforcement etc) is without prejudice to the Guarantor’s liabilities in respect of the Borrower’s obligations under
clauses 9 (Fees) and 10 (Taxes, Increased Costs, Costs and Related Charges) of the Loan Agreement and under similar
provisions of other Finance Documents.


 


		5	Adjustment of Transactions



 


		5.1	Reinstatement of obligation to pay



 


The Guarantor shall pay to the
Security Trustee on its demand any amount which any Secured Party is required, or agrees, to pay pursuant to any claim by, or settlement
with, a trustee in bankruptcy of the Borrower or of any other Obligor (or similar person) on the ground that the Loan Agreement
or any other Finance Document, or a payment by the Borrower or of such other Obligor, was invalid or on any similar ground.


 


		6	Payments



 


		6.1	Method of payments



 


Any amount due under this Guarantee
shall be paid:


 


		(a)	in immediately available funds;



 


		(b)	to such account as the Security Trustee may from time to time notify to the Guarantor;



 


		(c)	without any form of set-off, cross-claim or condition; and



 




    	 	4	 



     


    

 


 


		(d)	free and clear of any tax deduction except a tax deduction which the Guarantor is required by law
to make.



 


		6.2	Grossing-up for taxes



 


If the Guarantor is required
by law to make a tax deduction, the amount due to the Security Trustee shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that
the Security Trustee and (if the payment is not due to the Security Trustee for its own account) the Secured Party beneficially
interested in the payment receives and retains a net amount which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount that it
would otherwise have received.


 


		6.3	Tax Credits



 


If an additional payment is made
by the Guarantor under this Clause and any Secured Party determines that it has received or been granted a credit against or relief
of or calculated with reference to the deduction giving rise to such additional payment, such Secured Party shall, to the extent
that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment and provided
that it has received the cash benefit of such credit, relief or remission, pay to the Guarantor such amount as such Secured Party
shall in its reasonable opinion have concluded to be attributable to the relevant deduction. Any such payment shall be conclusive
evidence of the amount due to the Guarantor hereunder and shall be accepted by the Guarantor in full and final settlement of its
rights of reimbursement hereunder in respect of such deduction. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of each
Secured Party to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit.


 


		6.4	To the extent that this Clause 6 (Payments) imposes obligations or restrictions on a Secured
Party, such obligations or restrictions shall not apply to SACE and SACE shall have no obligations hereunder nor be constrained
by such restrictions.



 


		7	Interest



 


		7.1	Accrual of interest



 


Any amount due under this Guarantee
shall carry interest after the date on which the Security Trustee demands payment of it until it is actually paid, unless interest
on that same amount also accrues under the Loan Agreement.


 


		7.2	Calculation of interest



 


Interest on sums payable under
this Guarantee shall be calculated and accrue in the same way as interest under clause 6 (Interest) of the Loan Agreement.


 


		7.3	Guarantee extends to interest payable under Loan Agreement



 


For the avoidance of doubt, it
is confirmed that this Guarantee covers all interest payable under the Loan Agreement, including that payable under clause 17 (Interest
on Late Payments) of the Loan Agreement.


 


		8	Subordination



 


		8.1	Subordination of rights of Guarantor



 


Until all amounts which may be
or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless
the Agent otherwise directs, all rights which the Guarantor at any time has (whether in respect of this Guarantee or any other
transaction) against the Borrower, any other Obligor or their respective assets shall be fully subordinated to the rights of the
Secured Parties under the Finance Documents; and in particular, the Guarantor shall not:


 




    	 	5	 



     


    

 


 


		(a)	claim, or in a bankruptcy of the Borrower or any other Obligor prove for, any amount payable to
the Guarantor by the Borrower or any other Obligor, whether in respect of this Guarantee or any other transaction;



 


		(b)	take or enforce any Security Interest for any such amount;



 


		(c)	exercise any right to be indemnified by an Obligor;



 


		(d)	bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring the Borrower or any other Obligor to make
any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under
this Guarantee;



 


		(e)	claim to set-off any such amount against any amount payable by the Guarantor to the Borrower or
any other Obligor; or



 


		(f)	claim any subrogation or right of contribution or other right in respect of any Finance Document
or any sum received or recovered by any Secured Party under a Finance Document.



 


If the 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 become payable to the Secured Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance
Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Secured Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Security Trustee
or as the Security Trustee may direct for application in accordance with the Loan Agreement and the Finance Documents.


 


		9	Enforcement



 


		9.1	No requirement to commence proceedings against Borrower



 


The Guarantor waives any right
it may have of first requiring the Security Trustee or any other Secured Party to proceed against or enforce any other rights or
security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Guarantee. Neither the Security Trustee
nor any other Secured Party will need to make any demand under, commence any proceedings under, or enforce any guarantee or any
Security Interest contained in or created by, the Loan Agreement or any other Finance Document before claiming or commencing proceedings
under this Guarantee. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.


 


		9.2	Conclusive evidence of certain matters



 


However, as against the Guarantor:


 


		(a)	any judgment or order of a court in England or the jurisdiction of the Approved Flag or Bermuda
or the United States of America in connection with the Loan Agreement; and



 


		(b)	any statement or admission by the Borrower in connection with the Loan Agreement,



 


shall be binding and conclusive
as to all matters of fact and law to which it relates.


 




    	 	6	 



     


    

 


 


		9.3	Suspense account



 


Until all amounts which may be
or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, the Security
Trustee and any Secured Party may:


 


		(a)	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by it
(or any trustee or agent on its behalf which, in the case of a Secured Party, shall include the Agent and the Security Trustee)
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 the Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and



 


		(b)	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account
of any Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee.



 


		10	Representations and Warranties



 


		10.1	General
