		8	SACE Premium and Italian Authorities



 


		8.1	SACE Premium



 


The estimated SACE Premium for a
maximum amount of [*] (being [*] per cent. ([*]%) of the Maximum Loan Amount) is due and payable in two instalments as follows:


 


		(a)	the first instalment of the SACE Premium being an amount of [*] (calculated as being [*] per cent.
([*]%) of [*] per cent. ([*]%) of the Maximum Loan Amount) (the “First
Instalment”) shall be paid by the Borrower to SACE (provided that the Borrower and the Lenders have been notified
by the SACE Agent that the SACE Insurance Policy has been issued) on the earlier of (i) the date falling 30 days after the issuance
of the SACE Insurance Policy and (ii) 16 June 2017, being the date falling 6 months after the date of SACE’s board approval;
and



 


		(b)	the second instalment of the SACE Premium being an amount of [*] (calculated as being [*] per cent.
([*]%) of [*] per cent. ([*]%) of the Maximum Loan Amount) (the “Second
Instalment”) and shall be payable on the first Drawdown Date. For the sake of clarity, no set-off with the First
Instalment shall be permitted.



 


		8.2	Reimbursement by the Borrower of the SACE Premium



 


The Borrower irrevocably agrees to
pay the First Instalment, and to instruct the Lenders to pay the Second Instalment on behalf of the Borrower as follows:


 


		(a)	the Borrower has requested and the Lenders have agreed to reimburse the payment of one hundred
per cent. (100%) of the First Instalment to the Borrower on the first Drawdown Date, it being agreed that such First Instalment
shall be paid to SACE by the Borrower in accordance with paragraph (a) of Clause 8.1 (SACE Premium) and upon notification
by the Agent to the Borrower (i) of the issuance of the SACE Insurance Policy documentation in the form required by paragraph (d)
of Clause 3.6 (No later than five (5) Business Days before the First Drawdown Date), and (ii) of the amount of the First
Instalment; and



 


		(b)	the Borrower has requested and the Lenders have agreed to finance the payment of one hundred per
cent. (100%) of the Second Instalment on the first Drawdown Date in accordance with paragraph (c) of Clause 2.1 (Amount of facility)
of this Agreement.



 


Consequently, the
Borrower hereby irrevocably instructs the Agent on behalf of the Lenders to pay the Second Instalment to SACE on the first Drawdown
Date in accordance with paragraph (c) of Clause 2.1 (Amount of facility) of this Agreement and to reimburse the Borrower
by the Borrower drawing under the Loan the amount of the First Instalment in accordance with paragraph (b) of Clause 2.1 (Amount
of facility) of this Agreement.


 


The First Instalment
and Second Instalment each financed by the Loan will be repayable in any event by the Borrower to the Lenders in the manner specified
in Clause 5 (Repayment) and under any and all circumstances including but without limitation in the event of prepayment
or acceleration of the Loan.


 


		8.3	Italian Authorities



 


		(a)	The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Agent and the Lenders are entitled to provide the
Italian Authorities with any information they may have relative to the Loan and the business of the Group, to allow the Italian
Authorities to inspect all their records relating to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to furnish them with
copies thereof. Any such information relative to the Loan may also be given by any Italian Authorities to international institutions
charged with collecting statistical data.



 




    	 	41	 



     


    

 


		(b)	The Borrower acknowledges that, in the making of any decision or determination or the exercise
of any discretion or the taking or refraining to take any action under this Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents, the
Agent and the Lenders shall be deemed to have acted reasonably if they have acted on the instructions of either of the Italian
Authorities.



 


		(c)	Each Party further undertakes not to act in a manner which is inconsistent with the terms of the
SACE Insurance Policy and the Interest Make-up Agreement.



 


		8.4	Refund



 


		(a)	The Borrower shall, at the latest on the date falling sixty (60) days before the Intended Delivery
Date, provide a notice in writing to the SACE Agent (who will promptly forward it to other Lenders and SACE), signed by an authorised
signatory of the Borrower, indicating the amount of the Delivery Advance, being the amount set out in Schedule 6 (Drawdown Schedule)
under the column entitled “Advance to be drawn under this Agreement” to be drawn on the Delivery Date less (i) any
amount cancelled and (ii) the Refund (as defined below) to be refunded in accordance with paragraph (b), such amount of the Refund
to be confirmed by SACE at least six (6) Business Days prior to the Delivery Date. The Borrower hereby agrees and shall confirm
in such notice that the remaining Commitments shall be deemed to be cancelled. The Borrower acknowledges, for the avoidance of
doubt, that the shortfall to be paid to the Builder at the Delivery Date shall be funded and paid directly by the Borrower to the
Builder.



 


		(b)	If the sum of the Advances drawn by the Borrower together with the amount notified by the Borrower
pursuant to paragraph (a) and (a)(i) above (being the amount set out in Schedule 6 (Drawdown Schedule) under the column
entitled “Advance to be drawn under this Agreement” to be drawn on the Delivery Date, less any amount cancelled) equals
an aggregate of less than the Maximum Loan Amount, and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing and
no loss has occurred under the SACE Insurance Policy, the Borrower shall be entitled to a refund of the Second Instalment of the
SACE Premium in an amount calculated by SACE on the undrawn amount (the “Refund”). For the avoidance of doubt,
the First Instalment of the SACE Premium is non-refundable, irrespective of whether any disbursements have been made under this
Agreement and irrespective of whether the SACE Insurance Policy has been terminated.



 


		(c)	Any refund of the Second Instalment of the SACE Premium, whether in whole or in part, must be expressly
requested by the SACE Agent to SACE in writing following receipt by the SACE Agent of the Borrower’s notice referred to in
paragraph (a) above.



 


		(d)	To the extent the Borrower is entitled to the Refund, SACE shall transfer the Refund as soon as
practicably possible to the SACE Agent who shall as soon as practicably possible following receipt thereof transfer such amount
to the Borrower. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that SACE shall not be liable to pay interest to the Borrower on the amount of
the Refund.



 


		(e)	Under the terms of the SACE Insurance Policy, the Parties acknowledge that SACE will withhold an
amount of [*] per cent. ([*]%) from the amount of the SACE Premium to be refunded. Such withholding, charged as a lump sum to cover
administration and management costs for the SACE Insurance Policy, may not, in any event, amount to less than [*] Euros (€[*])
or more than [*] Euros (€[*]), calculated by SACE as at the date of the refund request.



 


		(f)	Except as set out in paragraph (a) and (c) above, no part of the SACE Premium is refundable to
any Obligor.



 


		(g)	In no event shall the SACE Agent be liable for any refund of the SACE Premium to be made by SACE
or for the calculation of any Refund and/or withholding thereof.

of the last period, which shall be paid on the Delivery Date, or the date of receipt by the Agent of the written cancellation notice
sent by the Borrower as described in Clause 16.1 (Cancellation), whichever is the earliest, such commitment fee to be calculated
on the actual number of days elapsed divided by three hundred and sixty (360). For the purpose of the computation of the periodical

and eighty thousand, six hundred and sixty five Euros and twenty eight Cents (€665,280,665.28);

total repayment of the Loan; and



 


		(d)	for the SACE Agent an Agent structuring fee in the amount and payable at the time separately agreed
in writing between the SACE Agent and the Borrower.

		10	Taxes, Increased Costs, Costs and Related Charges



 


		10.1	Definitions



 


		(a)	In this Agreement:



 


“Protected
Party” means a Secured Party which is or will be subject to any liability, or required to make any payment, for
or on account of Tax in relation to a sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable)
under a Finance Document;


 


“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 other
than a FATCA Deduction.


 


“Tax
Payment” means either the increase in a payment made by an Obligor to a Secured Party under Clause 10.2 (Tax
gross-up) or a payment under Clause 10.3 (Tax indemnity).


 


		(b)	Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Clause 10 (Taxes, Increased Costs, Costs and Related
Charges) reference to “determines” or “determined”
means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination.



 


		10.2	Tax gross-up



 


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



 


		(b)	The Borrower 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 Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify
the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender
it shall notify the Borrower and that Obligor.



 


		(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)	A payment shall not be increased under paragraph (c) above if on the date on which the payment
falls due the Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the
Tax Deduction had that Lender (having been given notice of the documentation requested under Clause 10.7 (Lender Status)
at least 30 Business Days prior to such payment date) complied with its obligations under Clause 10.7 (Lender Status).



 


		(e)	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.



 


		(f)	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 Agent for the Secured Party entitled to the payment
evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Secured Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate
payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.



 




    	 	44	 



     


    

 


		10.3	Tax indemnity



 


		(a)	The Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Protected Party
an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly)
suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.



 


		(b)	Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:



 


		(i)	with respect to any Tax assessed on a Secured Party:



 


		(A)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Secured Party is incorporated or, if different,
the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Secured Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or



 


		(B)	under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender’s Facility Office is located in respect
of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,



 


if 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 Secured Party;
or


 


		(ii)	to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause
10.2 (Tax gross-up) or would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 10.2 (Tax gross-up) but
was not so compensated solely because an exclusion in paragraph (d) of Clause 10.2 (Tax gross-up) applied, or relates to
a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; or



 


		(iii)	with respect to the Taxes in the nature of a branch profits tax imposed by Section 884(a) of the
Code that is imposed by any jurisdiction described in paragraph (b)(i)(B) above.



 


		(c)	A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly
notify the Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall notify the Borrower.



 


		(d)	A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this Clause 10.3 (Tax
indemnity), notify the Agent.



 


		10.4	Tax Credit



 


If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment
and the relevant Creditor Party determines that:


 


		(a)	a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that
Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and



 


		(b)	that Creditor Party has obtained, retained and utilised that Tax Credit,



 


the Creditor Party shall pay an amount
to the Obligor which that Creditor Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would
have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.


 


		10.5	Stamp taxes



 


The Borrower shall pay and, within
three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Secured Party against any cost, loss or liability that Secured Party incurs in relation

    	 	45	 



     


    

 


		10.6	VAT



 


		(a)	All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Secured Party which
(in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which
is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made
by any Secured Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Secured Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority
for the VAT, that Party must pay to such Secured Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for
such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Secured Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice
to that Party).



 


		(b)	If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party (the “Supplier”)
to any other Secured Party (the “Recipient”)
under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant
Party”) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that
supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):



 


		(i)	(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT)
the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount
of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit
or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT
chargeable on that supply; and



 


		(ii)	(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT)
the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable
on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from
the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.



 


		(c)	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost
or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or
expense, including such part of it as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Secured Party reasonably determines that it
is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.



 


		(d)	Any reference in this Clause 10.6 (VAT) to any Party being required to account to a tax
authority for VAT shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include a reference to
another member of that group being required to so account to the relevant tax authority.



 


		(e)	In relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably
requested by such Secured Party, that Party must promptly provide such Secured Party with details of that Party’s VAT registration
and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Secured Party’s VAT reporting requirements
in relation to such supply.



 


		10.7	Lender Status



 


		(a)	Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under a Finance Document shall deliver to the Agent and the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by
the Agent or the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Agent or the Borrower
(and which it is reasonable for the Lender to complete and execute) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Agent or the Borrower, shall deliver
such other documentation as prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Agent or the Borrower as will enable the
Agent or the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.



 




    	 	46	 



     


    

 


		(b)	Any Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, and where it is entitled to an
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax, deliver to the Agent and the Borrower on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement or promptly thereafter (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed
by applicable law or upon the request of the Agent or the Borrower), duly executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable, certifying that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding and, in the case of
a non-U.S. Lender that is eligible for an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax.



 


		10.8	FATCA Deduction



 


		(a)	Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required
in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such
a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.



 


		(b)	Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there
is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition,
shall notify the Borrower, the Agent and the other Secured Parties.



 


		10.9	FATCA Information



 


		(a)	Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request
by another Party:



 


		(i)	confirm to that other Party whether it is:



 


		(A)	a FATCA Exempt Party; or



 


		(B)	not a FATCA Exempt Party;



 


		(ii)	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status
under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA; and



 


		(iii)	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status
as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with any other law, regulation,
or exchange of information regime.



 


		(b)	If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt
Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other
Party reasonably promptly.



 


		(c)	Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Creditor Party to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii)
above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:



 


		(i)	any law or regulation;



 


		(ii)	any fiduciary duty; or



 




    	 	47	 



     


    

 


		(iii)	any duty of confidentiality.



 


		(d)	If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation
or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where
paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them)
as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation
or other information.



 


		(e)	Each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of (i) where the relevant Lender is a Lender at the
date of this Agreement, the date of this Agreement and (ii) where the relevant Lender is a Transferee Lender, the effective date
of a Transfer Certificate under Clause 24.4 (Effective Date of Transfer Certificate), supply to the Agent:



 


		(i)	a withholding certificate on Form W-8, Form W-9 or any other relevant form; or



 


		(ii)	any withholding statement or other document, authorisation or waiver as the Agent may require to
certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA or that other law or regulation.



 


		(f)	The Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation
or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above to the relevant Borrower.



 


		(g)	If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided
to the Agent by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Lender shall promptly
update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Agent
unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Agent).  The Agent shall
provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the relevant Borrower.



 


		(h)	The Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation
or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) or (g) above without further verification.  The Agent shall
not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with paragraphs (e), (f) or (g) above.



 


		(i)	CDP confirms, and the Borrower acknowledges, that as at the date of this Agreement CPD is a FATCA
Exempt Party.



 


		10.10	Increased Costs



 


		(a)	If after the date of this Agreement by reason of (x) any change in law or in its interpretation
or administration and/or (y) compliance with any request from or requirement of any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other
authority including but without limitation the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices whether or not
having the force of law:



 


		(i)	any of the Lenders incurs a cost as a result of its performing its obligations under this Agreement
and/or its making available its Commitment hereunder; or



 


		(ii)	there is any increase in the cost to any of the Lenders of funding or maintaining all or any of
the advances comprised in a class of advances formed by or including its Commitment advanced or to be advanced by it hereunder;
or



 


		(iii)	any of the Lenders incurs a cost as a result of its having entered into and/or its assuming or
maintaining its commitment under this Agreement; or



 




    	 	48	 



     


    

 


		(iv)	any of the Lenders becomes liable to make any payment on account of Tax or otherwise (other than
Tax on its overall net income) on or calculated by reference to the amount of its Commitment advanced or to be advanced hereunder
and/or any sum received or receivable by it hereunder; or



 


		(v)	any of the Lenders suffers any decrease in its rate of return as a result of any changes in the
requirements relating to capital ratios, monetary control ratios, the payment of special deposits, liquidity costs or other similar
requirements affecting that Lender,



 


then the Borrower shall on demand
pay to the Agent for the account of the relevant Lender or Lenders amounts sufficient to indemnify the relevant Lender or Lenders
against, as the case may be, such cost, such increased cost (or such proportion of such increased cost as is in the reasonable
opinion of the relevant Lender or Lenders attributable to the funding or maintaining of its or their Commitment(s) hereunder) or
such liability.


 


		(b)	This Clause 10.10 (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;



 


		(ii)	attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party;



 


		(iii)	compensated for by Clause 10.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under
Clause 10.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not compensated solely because any of the exclusions in paragraph (b) of Clause 10.3
(Tax indemnity) applied); or



 


		(iv)	attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Creditor Party or its Affiliates of any law of
regulation.



 


In this Clause 10.10 (Increased
Costs), a reference to a “Tax Deduction” has the same meaning given to the term in Clause 10.1 (Definitions).


 


		(c)	A Lender affected by any provision of this Clause 10.10 (Increased Costs) shall promptly
inform the Agent after becoming aware of the relevant change and its possible results (which notice shall be conclusive evidence
of the relevant change and its possible results) and the Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, notify the
Borrower of the change and its possible results. Without affecting the Borrower’s obligations under this Clause 10.10 (Increased
Costs) and in consultation with the Agent and the Italian Authorities, the affected Lender will then take all such reasonable
steps as may be open to it to mitigate the effect of the change (for example (if then possible) by changing its Facility Office
or transferring some or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution reasonably acceptable
to the Borrower and the Agent and the Italian Authorities). The reasonable costs of mitigating the effect of any such change shall
be borne by the Borrower save where such costs are of an internal administrative nature and are not incurred in dealings by any
Lender with third parties.

		10.11	Transaction Costs


 


The Borrower undertakes to pay to

for avoidance of doubt are exclusive of VAT and disbursements) out of pocket expenses and travel costs, reasonably incurred by
the Italian Authorities, the Joint Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Lenders (but not including any bank which becomes a Lender after
the date of this Agreement) in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of all agreements, guarantees, security

well as all costs and expenses, duties and fees incurred by the Agent or the Lenders in connection with the registration, filing,

to maintain the entire Loan (and during such 30 day period, no Lender shall be obliged to make available to the Borrower their

period of twenty one (21) days of the date of occurrence of the event giving rise to the unlawfulness or impossibility and the
affected Obligor performs it obligation within such period.


 


		18.16	Insurances



 


The Borrower fails to insure the
Ship in the manner specified in Clause 14 (Insurance Undertakings) or fails to renew the Insurances at least five (5) days

If the Borrower or any other Obligor
shall have concealed, removed, or permitted to be concealed or removed, any part of its property, with intent to hinder, delay

to be done by any Obligor which in the reasonable opinion of the Agent would or might be expected to imperil the security created
by any of the Finance Documents.


 


		18.19	Governmental intervention



 


The authority of any Obligor in the
conduct of its business is wholly or substantially curtailed by any seizure or intervention by or on behalf of any authority and
within ninety (90) days of the date of its occurrence any such seizure or intervention is not relinquished or withdrawn and the
Agent reasonably considers that the relevant occurrence is or might be expected to become materially prejudicial to the interests,
rights or position of the Lenders provided that the Borrower shall not be entitled to the aforesaid ninety (90) day period if the
seizure or intervention executed by any authority is due to an act or omission of any Obligor and the Majority Lenders and SACE
are satisfied that the Lenders’ interest might reasonably be expected to be materially adversely affected.


 


		18.20	Material Adverse Change



 


		(a)	Any event or circumstance occurs which results in a Material Adverse Effect; and/or



 


		(b)	any event or circumstance occurs (including, without limitation, following the sending of a notice

on the ability of the Borrower, also under an economic and/or financial standpoint, to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

and no failure or delay by the Agent to send a copy or the text of the notice to any other person shall invalidate the notice or
provide any Obligor with any form of claim or defence.


  




    	 	81	 



     


    

  


		18.27	Lender’s rights unimpaired


 


Nothing in this Clause 18 (Events

		20	Indemnities



 


		20.1	Indemnities regarding borrowing and repayment of Loan



 


The Borrower shall fully indemnify
the Agent and each Lender or SIMEST (but without double counting to the extent that a Lender is making a claim in respect of amounts
owing to SIMEST) on the Agent’s demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are made or brought
against or incurred by that Secured Party, or which that Secured Party reasonably and with due diligence estimates that it will
incur, as a result of or in connection with:


 


		(a)	any part of the Loan not being borrowed on the date specified in a Drawdown Notice for any reason
other than a default by the Lender claiming the indemnity;



 


		(b)	the receipt or recovery of all or any part of the Loan or an overdue sum otherwise than on the
last day of an Interest Period or other relevant period;



 


		(c)	any failure (for whatever reason) by the Borrower to make payment of any amount due under a Finance
Document on the due date or, if so payable, on demand (after giving credit for any default interest paid by the Borrower on the
amount concerned under Clause 17 (Interest on Late Payments)); and



 




    	 	82	 



     


    

 


		(d)	the occurrence and/or continuance of an Event of Default and/or the acceleration of repayment of
the Loan under Clause 18 (Events of Default).



 


		20.2	Breakage costs and SIMEST arrangements



 


Without limiting its generality,
Clause 20.1 (Indemnities regarding borrowing and repayment of Loan) covers:


 


		(a)	any claim, expense, liability or loss, including a loss of a prospective profit, incurred by a
Lender in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired or arranged to fund or maintain all or any part of its
Contribution and/or any overdue amount (or an aggregate amount which includes its Contribution or any overdue amount);



 


		(b)	if the Borrower has selected the Fixed Interest Rate in accordance with Clause 6.1 (Fixed or
Floating Interest Rate), all of the amounts that SIMEST is entitled to charge, whether for taxes, costs, expenses, indemnities,
penalties, losses or liabilities whatsoever, under and in accordance with the Interest Make-up Agreement, including without limitation,
as a result of any prepayment of all or any part of the Loan under this Agreement (whether voluntary, mandatory, following acceleration
of the Loan or otherwise), as a result of an Interest Make-Up Event or as a result of the Borrower deciding to switch from the
Fixed Interest Rate to another interest rate after the Drawdown Date and/or an Interest Make-up Event. Such amounts include, without
limitation, (i) breakage costs, (ii) any amount due as a consequence of the close-out of any hedging arrangement entered into by
SIMEST in relation to this Agreement, (iii) default interest and penalties (maggiorazioni) whenever applicable, and (iv)
all amounts (if any) to be returned by the Agent to SIMEST under and pursuant to the Interest Make-Up Agreement; and



 


		(c)	any other costs whatsoever or howsoever arising under or in respect of the Interest Make-Up Agreement
which are passed to the Agent,



 


and any such costs imposed by SIMEST
shall be paid by the Borrower to SIMEST through the Agent.


 


For the purposes of this Clause 20.2
(Breakage costs and SIMEST arrangements) “Interest Make-Up
Event” means the occurrence of any circumstances which result in the termination, cancellation, revocation, cessation
or suspension (in each case, in whole or in part) of the Interest Make-Up Agreement or the Interest Make-Up Agreement otherwise
ceases or may cease to be in full force and effect or the Agent notifies the Borrower that the Fixed Interest Rate is not available
for any reason, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Interest Make-Up Agreement.


 


		20.3	Miscellaneous indemnities



 


The Borrower shall fully indemnify
each Secured Party severally on their respective demands in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which may be
made or brought against or incurred by a Secured Party, in any country, as a result of or in connection with:


 


		(a)	any action taken, or omitted or neglected to be taken, under or in connection with any Finance
Document by the Agent or any other Secured Party or by any receiver appointed under a Finance Document;



 


		(b)	any other Pertinent Matter,



 


other than claims, expenses, liabilities
and losses which are shown to have been directly and mainly caused by the dishonesty or wilful misconduct of the officers or employees
of the Secured Party concerned.

Without prejudice to its generality,
this Clause 20.3 (Miscellaneous indemnities) covers (i) any claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which arise, or are
asserted, under or in connection with any law relating to safety at sea, the ISM Code or any Environmental Laws or any Sanctions
and (ii) any claims, expenses, liabilities (including, without limitation, under a reputational standpoint) and losses which arise,
or are asserted, against CDP under or in connection with any breach by the Borrower of any of the provisions paragraphs (nn) to
(rr) of Clause 11.2 (Continuing representations and warranties) and/or of Clause 12.26 (Code of Ethics and Model).


 


		20.4	Currency indemnity



 


If any sum due from an Obligor to
a Secured Party under a Finance Document or under any order or judgment relating to a Finance Document has to be converted from
the currency in which the Finance Document provided for the sum to be paid (the “Contractual
Currency”) into another currency (the “Payment
Currency”) for the purpose of:


 


		(a)	making or lodging any claim or proof against an Obligor, whether in its liquidation, any arrangement
involving it or otherwise; or



 


		(b)	obtaining an order or judgment from any court or other tribunal; or



 


		(c)	enforcing any such order or judgment,



 


the Borrower shall indemnify the
Secured Party concerned against the loss arising when the amount of the payment actually received by that Secured Party is converted
at the available rate of exchange into the Contractual Currency.


 


In this Clause 20.4 (Currency
indemnity) the “available rate of exchange”
means the rate at which the Secured Party concerned is able at the opening of business (Paris time) on the Business Day after it
receives the sum concerned to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency.


 


This Clause 20.4 (Currency indemnity)
creates a separate liability of the Borrower which is distinct from its other liabilities under the Finance Documents and which
shall not be merged in any judgment or order relating to those other liabilities.


 


		20.5	Certification of amounts



 


A notice which is signed by 2 officers
of a Secured Party, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Secured Party under this Clause 20
(Indemnities) and which indicates (without necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of which
the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall be prima facie evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due.


 


		20.6	Sums deemed due to a Lender



 


For the purposes of this Clause 20
(Indemnities), a sum payable by the Borrower to the Agent for distribution to a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to
that Lender.


 


		20.7	SACE obligations



 


To the extent that this Clause 20
(Indemnities) 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.

		(i)	it becomes unlawful or contrary to any law, regulation or Sanctions – including by way of
civil, administrative or criminal liability - in any applicable jurisdiction for the Notifying Lender to perform any of its obligations
as contemplated by the Finance Documents or to fund its participation in the Loan; and/or



 


		(ii)	it becomes unlawful or contrary to any law, regulation or Sanctions – including by way of

		21.2	Notification of illegality



 


		(a)	The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, the Obligors and the other Lenders of the notice
under Clause 21 (Illegality, etc.) which the Agent receives from the Notifying Lender.

Event is not applicable with immediate effect (in which case paragraph (a) of Clause 21.3 (Prepayment; termination of Commitment)
will apply immediately and this paragraph (b) of Clause 21.2 (Notification of illegality) will not apply, the Agent shall,
where the Borrower has selected the Fixed Interest Rate pursuant to Clause 6.1 (Fixed or Floating Interest Rate), inform
SIMEST in writing in order to start consultations between themselves (pursuant to clause 6 of the Interest Make-Up Agreement) with
a view to exploring any possible solution to mitigate the Illegality or Sanctions Event preventing that Lender from performing
any of its obligations under a Finance Document or funding or maintaining its share in the Loan. Any solution agreed between the
Agent and SIMEST at the end of the consultation period (which shall last for a period of ten (10) days from the service of such
notice on SIMEST) will be binding among themselves and shall be notified by the Agent to each Obligor immediately thereafter (and
in any case no later than ten (10) days following such decision).



 


		(c)	If at the end of the consultation procedure set out in paragraph (b) above, no solution is agreed
between the Agent and SIMEST, the Agent must immediately notify the Lenders and the Obligors.



 


		21.3	Prepayment; termination of Commitment



 


		(a)	After notification under paragraph (c) above or (in case the Interest Make-Up Agreement has ceased
to be in force and effect or the Fixed Interest Rate has not been selected pursuant to Clause 6.1 (Fixed or Floating Interest
Rate)) after notification under paragraph (a) above and subject to Clause 21.4 (Mitigation) below the Borrower must
repay or prepay that Lender’s share in the Loan on the date specified in paragraph (c) below together with any breakage costs
payable under Clause 20.2 (Breakage costs and SIMEST arrangements) and any indemnity payable under paragraph (c) of Clause
20.2 (Breakage costs and SIMEST arrangements) in respect of the Interest Make-Up Agreement;



 




    	 	85	 



     


    

 


		(b)	On the Agent notifying the Borrower under paragraph (c) of Clause 21.2 (Notification of illegality),
the Notifying Lender’s Commitment shall terminate; and thereupon or, if later, on the date specified in the Notifying Lender’s
notice under Clause 21.1 (Illegality and Sanctions) as the date on which the notified event would become effective the Borrower
shall prepay the Notifying Lender’s Contribution and shall pay compensation to the Notifying Lender calculated in accordance
with Clause 16.2 (Voluntary prepayment).



 


		(c)	The date for repayment or prepayment of a Lender’s share in the Loan will be:



 


		(i)	the date specified by the Agent in the notification under paragraph (b) above; or



 


		(ii)	in case the Interest Make-Up Agreement has ceased to be in full force and effect or the Fixed Interest
Rate has not been selected pursuant to Clause 6.1 (Fixed or Floating Interest Rate), the last day of the current Interest
Period for the relevant Advance or Advances or, if earlier, the date specified by the Lender in the notification under paragraph
(a) above and which must not be earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period allowed by law.

to Clause 21.1 (Illegality and Sanctions) including (but not limited to) transferring its rights and obligations under the
Finance Documents to another Affiliate or Facility Office.



 


		(b)	Paragraph (a) above does not in any way limit the obligations of any Obligor under the Finance
Documents.



 


		22	Set-Off



 


		22.1	Application of credit balances



 


Each Creditor Party may without prior
notice:


 


		(a)	apply any balance (whether or not then due) which at any time stands to the credit of any account
in the name of the Borrower at any office in any country of that Creditor Party in or towards satisfaction of any sum then due
from the Borrower to that Creditor Party under any of the Finance Documents; and



 


		(b)	for that purpose:



 


		(i)	break, or alter the maturity of, all or any part of a deposit of the Borrower;



 


		(ii)	convert or translate all or any part of a deposit or other credit balance into Euros;



 


		(iii)	enter into any other transaction or make any entry with regard to the credit balance which the
Creditor Party concerned considers appropriate.



 


		22.2	Existing rights unaffected



 


No Creditor Party shall be obliged
to exercise any of its rights under Clause 22.1 (Application of credit balances); and those rights shall be without prejudice
and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, charge, lien or other right or remedy to which a Creditor Party
is entitled (whether under the general law or any document).


  




    	 	86	 



     


    

 


		22.3	Sums
                                         deemed due to a Lender



 


For the purposes of this Clause 22
(Set-Off), a sum payable by the Borrower to the Agent for distribution to, or for the account of, a Lender shall be treated
as a sum due to that Lender; and each Lender’s proportion of a sum so payable for distribution to, or for the account of,
the Lenders shall be treated as a sum due to such Lender.


 


		22.4	No Security Interest



 


This Clause 22 (Set-Off) gives
the Creditor Parties a contractual right of set-off only, and does not create any equitable charge or other Security Interest over
any credit balance of the Borrower.


 


		23	Bail-In



 


Notwithstanding any other term of
any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties to a Finance Document, each Party
acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any party to a Finance Document under or in connection with the Finance Documents
may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:


 


		(a)	any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):



 


		(i)	a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including
any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;



 


		(ii)	a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership
that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and



 


		(iii)	a cancellation of any such liability; and



 


		(b)	a variation of any term of any Finance Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-in
Action in relation to any such liability.



 


		24	Changes to the Lenders



 


		24.1	Transfer by a Lender



 


Subject to Clause 24.5 (No transfer
without Transfer Certificate), Clause 24.17 (Assignment or transfer to SACE) and Clause 24.14 (Change of Facility
Office), a Lender (the “Transferor Lender”)
may at any time provided they have obtained the prior written consent of the Italian Authorities cause:


 


		(a)	its rights in respect of all or part of its Contribution; or



 


		(b)	its obligations in respect of all or part of its Commitment; or



 


		(c)	a combination of (a) and (b),



 


to be (in the case of its rights)
transferred to, or (in the case of its obligations) assumed by, in whole or in part any of its Affiliates or another bank or financial
institution or a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing
or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (a “Transferee
Lender”) by delivering to the Agent a completed certificate in the form set out in Schedule 4 (Form of Transfer
Certificate) with any modifications approved or required by the Agent (a “Transfer
Certificate”) executed by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender.


 


However any rights and obligations
of the Transferor Lender in its capacity as Agent or Security Trustee will have to be dealt with separately in accordance with
the provisions of Clauses 26 (Role of the Agent and the Joint Mandated Lead Arrangers) and 27 (The Security Trustee)
respectively.


 




    	 	87	 



     


    

 


		24.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer



 


		(a)	The consent of the Borrower is required at all times (subject to the provisions of Clauses 24.5
(No transfer without Transfer Certificate) and 24.17 (Assignment or transfer to SACE) for an assignment or transfer
by an Existing Lender, unless (i) there is an Event of Default or (ii) the assignment or transfer is to another Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender.



 


		(b)	The consent of the Borrower to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
The Borrower will be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless
consent is expressly refused by that Borrower within that time.



 


		(c)	The assignment or transfer must be with respect to a minimum Commitment of [*] Euros (€[*])
or, if less, the Existing Lender’s full Commitment.



 


		24.3	Transfer Certificate, delivery and notification



 


As soon as reasonably practicable
after a Transfer Certificate is delivered to the Agent, it shall (unless it has reason to believe that the Transfer Certificate
may be defective):


 


		(a)	sign the Transfer Certificate on behalf of itself, the Borrower, any other Obligors, the Security
Trustee and each of the other Lenders;



 


		(b)	on behalf of the Transferee Lender, send to the Borrower and each Obligor letters or faxes notifying
them of the Transfer Certificate and attaching a copy of it; and



 


		(c)	send to the Transferee Lender copies of the letters or faxes sent under paragraph (b) above,



 


but the Agent shall only be obliged
to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender once it is satisfied it has
complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations
in relation to the transfer to that Transferee Lender.


 


		24.4	Effective Date of Transfer Certificate



 


A Transfer Certificate becomes effective
on the date, if any, specified in the Transfer Certificate as its effective date, provided that it is signed by the Agent under
Clause 24.3 (Transfer Certificate, delivery and notification) on or before that date.


 


		24.5	No transfer without Transfer Certificate



 


Except as provided in Clause 24.16
(Security over Lenders’ rights), no assignment or transfer of any right or obligation of a Lender under any Finance
Document is binding on, or effective in relation to, the Borrower, any Obligor, the Agent or the Security Trustee unless it is
effected, evidenced or perfected by a Transfer Certificate.


 


		24.6	Lender re-organisation; waiver of Transfer Certificate



 


However, if a Lender enters into
any merger, de-merger or other reorganisation as a result of which all its rights or obligations vest in another person (the “successor”),
the Agent may, if it sees fit, by notice to the successor and the Borrower and the Security Trustee waive the need for the execution
and delivery of a Transfer Certificate; and, upon service of the Agent’s notice, the successor shall become a Lender with
the same Commitment and Contribution as were held by the predecessor Lender.


 




    	 	88	 



     


    

 


	24.7	Effect
                                         of Transfer Certificate



 


A
Transfer Certificate takes effect in accordance with English law as follows:



 


		(a)	to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate, all rights and interests (present, future
or contingent) which the Transferor Lender has under or by virtue of the Finance Documents are assigned to the Transferee Lender
absolutely, free of any defects in the Transferor Lender’s title and of any rights or equities which the Borrower or any
Obligor had against the Transferor Lender;



 


		(b)	the Transferor Lender’s Commitment is discharged to the extent specified in the Transfer
Certificate;



 


		(c)	the Transferee Lender becomes a Lender with the Contribution previously held by the Transferor
Lender and a Commitment of an amount specified in the Transfer Certificate;



 


		(d)	the Transferee Lender becomes bound by all the provisions of the Finance Documents which are applicable
to the Lenders generally, including those about pro-rata sharing and the exclusion of liability on the part of, and the indemnification
of, the Agent and the Security Trustee and, to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes bound by those provisions (other than
those relating to exclusion of liability), the Transferor Lender ceases to be bound by them;



 


		(e)	any part of the Loan which the Transferee Lender advances after the Transfer Certificate’s
effective date ranks in point of priority and security in the same way as it would have ranked had it been advanced by the transferor,
assuming that any defects in the transferor’s title and any rights or equities of the Borrower or any Obligor against the
Transferor Lender had not existed;



 


		(f)	the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to all the rights under the Finance Documents which are
applicable to the Lenders generally, including but not limited to those relating to the Majority Lenders and those under Clause
6.6 (Market disruption) and Clause 9 (Fees), and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such
rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be entitled to them; and



 


		(g)	in respect of any breach of a warranty, undertaking, condition or other provision of a Finance
Document or any misrepresentation made in or in connection with a Finance Document, the Transferee Lender shall be entitled to
recover damages by reference to the loss incurred by it as a result of the breach or misrepresentation, irrespective of whether
the original Lender would have incurred a loss of that kind or amount.



 


The rights and equities of the Borrower
or any Obligor referred to above include, but are not limited to, any right of set off and any other kind of cross-claim.


 


		24.8	Maintenance of register of Lenders



 


During the Security Period the Agent
shall maintain a register in which it shall record the name, Commitment, Contribution and administrative details (including the
Facility Office) from time to time of each Lender holding a Transfer Certificate and the effective date (in accordance with Clause
24.4 (Effective Date of Transfer Certificate)) of the Transfer Certificate; and the Agent shall make the register available
for inspection by any Lender, the Security Trustee and the Borrower during normal banking hours, subject to receiving at least
3 Business Days’ prior notice.


 


		24.9	Reliance on register of Lenders



 


The entries on that register shall,
