in this Agreement.  Each of the Obligor agrees to hold any sums received by it as a result of its having exercised any such right on trust for the Agent absolutely; and

	any Security Party or any other Lender being discharged (in whole or in part) from its obligations under any Finance Document,

	the Borrowers or any other Security Party become obliged in the absence of an Event of Default to repay any amount in accordance with Clause 24 or to pay additional amounts pursuant to Clause 23 or Clause 25 to any Commercial Lender in excess of amounts payable to other Commercial Lenders generally,


then the Borrowers may, on 30 Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent and such Lender, replace such Commercial Lender by requiring such Commercial Lender to (and such Commercial Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 27 all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Commercial Lender or other bank, financial institution, fund or other entity (a "Replacement Lender") selected by the Borrowers (other than any Affiliate or subsidiary of the Guarantor), which is acceptable to the Agent with the consent of the Majority Lenders (other than the Commercial Lender the Borrowers desire to replace), which confirms its willingness to assume and by its execution of a Transfer Certificate does assume all the obligations of the transferring Commercial Lender (including the assumption of the transferring Commercial Lender's participations on the same basis as the transferring Commercial Lender) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Commercial Lender's participation in the outstanding Advances and all accrued interest and/or breakages costs and other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents.
		
	(b)
	The replacement of a Commercial Lender pursuant to this Clause 3.6 shall be subject to the following conditions:

	neither the Borrowers nor the Guarantor shall have any right to replace the Agent or the Security Trustee in such capacities;


		
	(ii)
	neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers or the Guarantor to find a Replacement Lender but nothing contained herein shall preclude them from doing so;


		
	(iii)
	in the event of a replacement of a Non-Consenting Lender such replacement must take place no later than 30 days after the date the Borrowers notify the Non-Consenting Lender and the Agent of its intent to replace the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Clause 3.6(a), and in the event such replacement takes place on a date other than an anniversary date, the Borrowers shall reimburse a Lender providing a Commercial Fixed Rate Loan for any breakage costs payable by such Lender pursuant to any currency swap entered into by such Lender; and


		
	(iv)
	in no event shall the Commercial Lender replaced under this Clause 3.6 be required to pay or surrender to such Replacement Lender any of the fees received by such Commercial Lender pursuant to the Finance Documents.

	the Borrowers have or the Agent has requested the Lenders to give a consent in relation to or to agree to a waiver or amendment of any provisions of the Finance Documents;


		
	(v)
	the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the approval of all Lenders; and

Lender in an amount equal to that Lender's Contribution and that payment to the Relevant Borrower shall be made:

The Borrowers shall fully indemnify the Agent, KEXIM (in its capacity as guarantor), and each Lender on the Agent's demand and the Security Trustee on its demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are made or brought against or incurred by that Creditor Party, or which that Creditor Party reasonably and with due diligence estimates that it will incur, as a result of or in connection with:
		
	(r)
	the payments detailed in Clause 9.3(b) not being made on the date specified in the relevant Drawdown Notice for any reason other than a default by the Lender claiming the indemnity; 


		
	(s)
	funding, or making arrangements to fund, its participation in an Advance requested by a Borrower in a Drawdown Notice but not made or funded by reason of the operation of any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement (other than by reason of default or negligence solely by that Creditor Party);


		
	(t)
	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;


		
	(u)
	any failure (for whatever reason) by the Borrowers or any other Security Party 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 Borrowers on the amount concerned under Clause 7); or


		
	(v)
	the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or the acceleration of repayment of the Loan under Clause 8 or Clause 20; 


It is understood that the indemnities provided in this Clause 22.1 shall not apply to any claim cost or expense which is a tax levied by a taxing authority on the indemnified party (which taxes are subject to indemnity solely as provided in Clause 23 below) but shall apply to any other costs associated with any tax which is not a Non-indemnified Tax.
		
	22.2
	Breakage costs


Without limiting its generality, Clause 22.1 covers any claim, expense, liability or loss, including a loss of a prospective profit, incurred by a Lender:

	
			
	 

	0103218-0000004 NY:20884372.11
	97
	 








	
	
	 








		
	(q)

	(r)
	in terminating, or otherwise in connection with, any interest and/or currency swap or any other transaction entered into (whether with another legal entity or with another office or department of the Lender concerned) to hedge any exposure arising under this Agreement or that part which the Lender concerned determines is fairly attributable to this Agreement of the amount of the liabilities, expenses or losses (including losses of prospective profits) incurred by it in terminating, or otherwise in connection with, a number of transactions of which this Agreement is one.


		
	22.3
	Miscellaneous indemnities


The Borrowers shall fully indemnify each Creditor Party, K-Sure and their respective directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, trustees, advisors and attorneys-in-fact 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 Creditor Party, K-Sure, in any country, as a result of or in connection with:

	(o)
	any other Pertinent Matter,


other than claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are shown to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Creditor Party concerned or its directors, officers or employees.
Without prejudice to its generality, this Clause 22.3 covers 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, the ISPS Code, any Sanctions Law or any Environmental Law.
		
	22.4
	Currency indemnity


If any sum due from a Borrower or any other Security Party to a Creditor 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:
		
	(k)
	making or lodging any claim or proof against a Borrower or any other Security Party, whether in its liquidation, any arrangement involving it or otherwise; or


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


		
	(m)
	enforcing any such order or judgment,


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

	
			
	 

	0103218-0000004 NY:20884372.11
	98
	 








	
	
	 








In this Clause 22.4, the "available rate of exchange" means the rate at which the Creditor Party concerned is able at the opening of business (London time) on the Business Day after it receives the sum concerned to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency.
This Clause 22.4 creates a separate joint and several liability of the Borrowers 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.
		
	22.5
	Certification of amounts


A notice which is signed by an officer of a Creditor Party, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Creditor Party under this Clause 22 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.

	23.1
	No deductions

	(s)

	(t)
	free and clear of any tax deduction except a tax deduction which such Security Party is required by law to make.


		
	23.2
	Grossing-up for taxes


If a Security Party is required by law to make a tax deduction from any payment:
		
	(p)
	such Security Party shall notify the Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement;


		
	(q)
	such Security Party shall pay the tax deducted to the appropriate taxation authority promptly, and in any event before any fine or penalty arises; and


		
	(r)
	except if the deduction is for collection or payment of a Non-indemnified Tax of a Creditor Party, the amount due in respect of the payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that each Creditor Party receives and retains (free from any liability relating to the tax deduction) a net amount which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount which it would otherwise have received.


		
	23.3
	Evidence of payment of taxes


Within one (1) month after making any tax deduction, the relevant Security Party shall deliver to the Agent documentary evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the tax had been paid to the appropriate taxation authority.

	0103218-0000004 NY:20884372.11
	99
	 








	
	
	 








If a Creditor Party determines, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith that it has actually received or realized for its own account a repayment or credit in respect of tax on account of which the Borrowers have made an increased payment under Clause 23.2, such Creditor Party shall pay to the Relevant Borrower a sum equal to the proportion of the repayment or credit which that Creditor Party, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, allocates to the amount due from the Borrowers in respect of which the Relevant Borrower made the increased payment, provided that:
		
	(o)
	nothing in this Clause 23.4 shall oblige a Creditor Party to arrange its tax affairs in any particular manner, to claim any type of relief, credit, allowance or deduction instead of, or in priority to, another or to make any such claim within any particular time;


		
	(p)
	nothing in this Clause 23.4 shall oblige a Creditor Party to make a payment which would leave it in a worse position than it would have been in if the Borrowers had not been required to make a tax deduction from a payment; and


		
	(q)
	any allocation or determination made by a Creditor Party in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith under or in connection with this Clause 23.4 shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the other Creditor Parties.


		
	23.5
	Indemnity for taxes


Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold each Creditor Party harmless from and against all taxes other than Non-indemnified Taxes levied on such Creditor Party (including, without limitation, taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Clause 23.5) paid or payable by such person, whether or not such taxes or other taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which such Creditor Party makes written demand therefor specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such taxes or other taxes.
		
	23.6
	Exclusion from indemnity and gross-up for taxes


The Borrowers and the Guarantor shall not be required to indemnify any Creditor Party for a tax pursuant to Clause 23.5, or to pay any additional amounts to any Creditor Party pursuant to Clause 23.2, to the extent that the tax is collected by withholding on payments (a "Withholding") and is levied by a Pertinent Jurisdiction of the payer and:
		
	(d)
	the person claiming such indemnity or additional amounts was not an original party to this agreement and under applicable law (after taking into account relevant treaties and assuming that such person has provided all forms it may legally and truthfully provided) on the date such person became a party to this Agreement a Withholding would have been required on such payment, provided that this exclusion shall not apply to the extent such Withholding does not exceed the Withholding that would have been applicable if such payment had been made to the person from whom such person acquired its rights under the Agreement and this exclusion shall not apply to the extent that such Withholding exceeds the amount of Withholding that would have been required under the law in effect on the date such person became a party to this Agreement; or 


		
	(e)
	the person claiming such indemnity or additional amounts is a Lender who has changed its Lending Office and under applicable law (after taking into account relevant treaties and assuming that such Lender has provided all forms it may legally and truthfully provide) on the date such Lender changed its Lending Office a Withholding would have been required on such 



	
			
	 

	0103218-0000004 NY:20884372.11
	100
	 








	
	
	 








payment, provided that this exclusion shall not apply to the extent such Withholding does not exceed the Withholding that would have been applicable to such payment if such Lender had not changed its Lending Office and this exclusion shall not apply to the extent that the Withholding exceeds the amount of Withholding that would have been required under the law in effect immediately after such Lender changed its Lending Office; or
		
	(f)
	in the case of a Lender, to the extent that Withholding would not have been required on such payment if such Lender has complied with its obligations to deliver certain tax form pursuant to Clause 23.7 below.


		
	23.7
	Delivery of tax forms


		
	(a)
	In the event that Withholding taxes may be imposed under the laws of any Pertinent Jurisdiction in respect of payments on the Loan or other amounts due under this Agreement and if certain documentation provided by a Lender could reduce or eliminate such Withholding taxes under the laws of such Pertinent Jurisdiction or any treaty to which the Pertinent Jurisdiction is a party, then, upon written request by the Guarantor, a Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, such Withholding tax shall deliver to the Guarantor (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or promptly after receipt of the Guarantor's request, whichever is later, such properly completed and executed documentation requested by the Guarantor, if any, as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or delivery would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.


		
	(b)
	Each Lender shall deliver such forms as required in this Clause 23.7 within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor from the Agent or Guarantor.  


		
	(c)

	(ii)
	supply to the requesting party (with a copy to all other FATCA Relevant Parties) such other form or forms (including IRS Form W-8 or Form W-9 or any successor or substitute form, as applicable) and any other documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable "passthru percentage" or other information required under FATCA or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as the requesting party reasonably requests for the purpose of determining whether any payment to such party may be subject to any FATCA Deduction.


		
	(g)
	If a FATCA Relevant Party confirms to any other FATCA Relevant Party that it is a FATCA Exempt Party or provides an IRS Form W-8 or W-9 to showing 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 so notify all other FATCA Relevant Parties reasonably promptly.

	101
	 








	
	
	 








		
	(h)
	Nothing in this Clause 23.8 shall obligate any FATCA Relevant Party to do anything which would or, in its reasonable opinion, might constitute a breach of any law or regulation, any policy of that party, any fiduciary duty or any duty of confidentiality, or to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns and calculations); provided that nothing in this paragraph shall excuse any FATCA Relevant Party from providing a true complete and correct IRS Form W-8 or W-9 (or any successor or substitute form where applicable).  Any information provided on such IRS Form W-8 or W-9 (or any successor or substitute forms) shall not be treated as confidential information of such party for purposes of this paragraph.


		
	(i)
	If a FATCA Relevant Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with the provisions of this agreement or the provided information is insufficient under FATCA, then:


		
	(i)
	such party shall be treated as if it were a FATCA Non-Exempt Party; and


		
	(ii)
	if that party failed to confirm its applicable passthru percentage then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable passthru percentage is 100%,


until (in each case) such time as the party in question provides sufficient confirmation, forms, documentation or other information to establish the relevant facts.
		
	23.9
	FATCA withholding


		
	(d)
	A FATCA Relevant Party making a payment to any FATCA Non-Exempt Party shall make such FATCA Deduction as it determines is required by law and shall render payment to the IRS within the time allowed and in the amount required by FATCA.


		
	(e)
	If a FATCA Deduction is required to be made by any FATCA Relevant Party to a FATCA Non-Exempt Party, the amount of the payment due from such FATCA Relevant Party shall be reduced by the amount of the FATCA Deduction reasonably determined to be required by such FATCA Relevant Party.


		
	(f)
	Each FATCA Relevant Party shall promptly upon becoming aware that a FATCA Deduction is required with respect to any payment owed to it (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify each other FATCA Relevant Party accordingly.  


		
	(g)
	Within 30 days of making either a FATCA Deduction or any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, the party making such FATCA Deduction shall deliver to the Agent for delivery to the party on account of whom the FATCA Deduction was made evidence reasonably satisfactory to that party that the FATCA Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the IRS.


		
	(h)
	A FATCA Relevant Party who becomes aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to another FATCA Relevant Party (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of such FATCA Deduction) shall notify that party and the Agent.


		
	(i)
	The Agent shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Lender which relates to a payment by a Borrower (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such a FATCA Deduction) notify the Borrowers and the relevant Lender.

	102
	 








	
	
	 








		
	(j)
	If a FATCA Deduction is made as a result of any Creditor Party failing to be a FATCA Exempt Party, such party shall indemnify each other Creditor Party against any loss, cost or expense to it resulting from such FATCA Deduction.


		
	23.10
	FATCA mitigation


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a FATCA Deduction is or will be required to be made by any party under Clause 23.10 in respect of a payment to any FATCA Non-Exempt Lender, the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender may either:
		
	(d)
	transfer its entire interest in the Loan to a U.S. branch or Affiliate, or


		
	(e)
	nominate one or more transferee lenders who upon becoming a Lender would be a FATCA Exempt Party, by notice in writing to the Agent and the Borrowers specifying the terms of the proposed transfer, and cause such transferee lender(s) to purchase all of the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender's interest in the Loan.


23.11    Benefit of this Clause
K-Sure will have the benefit of a Lender's rights under this Clause 23 to the extent that such Lender's rights under this Clause 23 have been fully or partly and properly assigned, transferred, subrogated or novated to K-Sure, together with any other ancillary rights under the Finance Documents required to give effect to this Clause 23.

	(s)
	the Notifying Lender shall promptly notify the Agent upon becoming aware of that event;


		
	(t)
	upon the Agent notifying the Borrowers and the other Creditor Parties, the Commitment of the Notifying Lender will be immediately cancelled; and

	24.2
	Mitigation


If circumstances arise which would result in a notification under Clause 24.1 then, without in any way limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under Clause 24.1, the Notifying Lender shall use reasonable commercial efforts to transfer its obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement and the Finance Documents to another office or financial institution not affected by the circumstances but the Notifying Lender shall not be under any obligation to take any such action if, in its opinion, to do would or might:

	have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition; or



	
			
	 

	0103218-0000004 NY:20884372.11
	103
	 








	
	
	 








		
	(o)
	involve it in any activity which is unlawful or prohibited or any activity that is contrary to, or inconsistent with, any regulation; or

	25.
	INCREASED COSTS


		
	25.1
	Increased costs


This Clause 25 applies if a Lender (the "Notifying Lender") notifies the Agent that as a result of:
		
	(q)
	the introduction or alteration after the Effective Date of a law or an alteration after the Effective Date in the manner in which a law is interpreted or applied (disregarding any effect which relates to the application to payments under this Agreement of a Non‐Indemnified tax); or


		
	(r)
	complying with any regulation (including any which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which the Notifying Lender allocates capital resources to its obligations under this Agreement) which is introduced, or altered, or the interpretation or application of which is altered, after the Effective Date;


		
	(s)
	any introduction, change, clarification or publication relating to Basel III or CRD IV to the extent such increased costs were not capable of being calculated with sufficient accuracy prior to the Effective Date due to a lack of clarity or detail in Basel III or CRD IV and/or any related information from a banking regulator available as at the Effective Date,


the Notifying Lender (or a parent company of it) has incurred or will incur an increased cost.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder, are deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted or adopted.

	(g)
	Subject to Clause 27.5 and Clause 27.18, a Lender (the "Transferor Lender") may at any time, without any additional costs to, but with the prior written consent (unless (i) the transfer is to an Affiliate of the Transferor Lender or (ii) in the case of the Commercial Fixed Rate Loan only, the transfer is to KDB KIAMCO Fund or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) of, the (1) the Borrowers; (2) Agent; (3) in relation to the K-Sure Lenders only (the "K-Sure Transferor Lenders"), K-Sure; (4) in relation to the KEXIM Guaranteed Lenders only (the "KEXIM Transferor Lenders"), KEXIM and (5) the Guarantor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and to be deemed granted within 15 Business Days from the day it has been sought unless it has been expressly refused within that period), cause: 


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


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


		
	(viii)
	a combination of (i) and (ii),


to be (in the case of its rights) transferred to, or (in the case of its obligations) assumed by, another bank or financial institution (a "Transferee Lender") which is (A) regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets including (without limitation) K-Sure or KEXIM, as the case may be and (B) not an Affiliate of the Borrowers by delivering to the Agent a completed certificate in the form set out in Schedule 4 with any modifications approved or required by the Agent (a "Transfer Certificate") executed by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender provided that the amount of the Contribution and/or Commitment of the Lender which is to be transferred shall not be less than $5,000,000 (unless (i) the entirety of the Transferor Lender's Contribution and/or Commitment is less than $5,000,000 in which case the Transferor Lender may transfer the entire amount remaining or (ii) in the case of the Commercial Fixed Rate Loan only, the Transferor Lender may transfer the amount of the Contributions then held by the Transferor Lender). 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights and obligations of the Transferor Lender in its capacity as Agent or Security Trustee shall be determined in accordance with Clause 31.
		
	(h)
	To the extent that it is required to do so by K-Sure pursuant to the terms of any K-Sure Insurance Policy, the K-Sure Transferor Lender shall cause a transfer to K-Sure in respect of such part of its Commitment or (as the case may be) its portion of the relevant Advance under the K-Sure Loan as is equal to the 



	
			
	 

	0103218-0000004 NY:20884372.11
	107
	 








	
	
	 








amount simultaneously paid to it by K-Sure under the relevant K-Sure Insurance Policy, provided however that this shall not be construed as depriving any K-Sure Transferor Lender of its rights to recover any part of the Total Commitments, Loan or otherwise of the Secured Liabilities owing to it after receipt of the relevant K-Sure Insurance Policy insurance proceeds.
		
	(i)
	For the avoidance of doubt and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in the event that K-Sure pays out in full or in part the insurance proceeds in accordance with the terms of any K-Sure Insurance Policy, then, subject to the terms of the relevant K-Sure Insurance Policy, the following shall apply:

	(iii)
	with respect to the obligations of the Security Parties owed to the Agent and/or the K‐Sure Lenders under the Finance Documents (or any of them), such obligations shall additionally be owed to K-Sure by way of subrogation of the rights of the K-Sure Lenders.


		
	(j)
	To the extent that it is required to do so by KEXIM pursuant to the terms of the KEXIM Guarantee, the KEXIM Transferor Lender shall cause a transfer to KEXIM in respect of such part of its Commitment or (as the case may be) its portion of the relevant Advance under the KEXIM Guaranteed Loan as is equal to the amount simultaneously paid to it by KEXIM under the KEXIM Guarantee, provided however that this shall not be construed as depriving any KEXIM Transferor Lender of its rights to recover any part of the Total Commitments, Loan or otherwise of the Secured Liabilities owing to it after receipt of the KEXIM Guarantee insurance proceeds.


		
	(k)
	For the avoidance of doubt and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in the event that KEXIM pays out in full or in part the guarantee proceeds in accordance with the terms of the KEXIM Guarantee:

	the obligations of the Security Parties under this Agreement and each of the Finance Documents shall neither be reduced nor affected in any way;


		
	(iv)
	KEXIM shall be entitled to the extent of such payment to exercise all rights of the KEXIM Guaranteed Lenders (whether present or future) against the Security Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the Finance Documents or any relevant laws and/or regulations, as the case may be in respect of the Ships and solely to the extent that these relate to such payment (but without prejudice to the exercise of such rights by the other Creditor Parties) unless and until such insurance proceeds and the interest accrued on them are fully reimbursed to KEXIM; and 


		
	(v)
	with respect to the obligations of the Security Parties owed to the Agent and/or the KEXIM Guaranteed Lenders under the Finance Documents (or any of them), such obligations shall additionally be owed to KEXIM by way of subrogation of the rights of the KEXIM Guaranteed Lenders.

	(e)
	on behalf of the Transferee Lender, send to the Borrowers and each other Security Party letters or faxes notifying them of the Transfer Certificate and attaching a copy of it;


		
	(f)

	(l)
	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 Borrowers or any other Security Party against the Transferor Lender had not existed;


		
	(m)
	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 5.8 and Clause 21, and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be entitled to them; and


		
	(n)
	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 Borrowers or any other Security Party referred to above include, but are not limited to, any right of set off and any other kind of cross claim.
		
	27.8
	Maintenance of register of Lenders

	27.9
	Reliance on register of Lenders


The entries on that register shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive in determining the identities of the Lenders and the amounts of their Commitments and Contributions and the effective dates of Transfer Certificates and may be relied upon by the Agent and the other parties to the Finance Documents for all purposes relating to the Finance Documents.

	(l)
	each of the K-Sure Lenders shall assign to K-Sure, upon K-Sure's request, its rights to recover against the relevant Borrower and the Guarantor (as applicable) such amount that has been paid by K-Sure, provided that this shall not be construed as depriving any K-Sure Lender of its rights to recover any part of the Total Commitments, the Loan or otherwise of the Secured Liabilities still owing to it after receipt of the relevant K-Sure Insurance Policy insurance proceeds; 


		
	(m)
	until the assignment referred to in paragraph (a), each of the K-Sure Lenders shall hold in trust for K-Sure any payments made under this Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents and pay or transfer them to K-Sure in accordance with the relevant K-Sure Insurance Policy;

	(o)
	without prejudice to the indemnity provisions in Clause 22, the Borrowers shall indemnify K-Sure in respect of any withholding taxes, out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including  reasonable and documented legal fees) suffered or incurred by K-Sure in connection with the assignment referred to in this Clause 28.1, any payments by the K-Sure Lenders to K-Sure referred to in this Clause 28.1 or in connection with any review by K-Sure of any Event of Default or dispute between the Borrowers and/or any Security Party and the Creditor Parties occurring prior to the assignment referred to in this Clause 28.1,

	(h)
	Each of the K-Sure Agent, the Agent and the Security Trustee agrees that it shall consult with K-Sure wherever reasonably practical prior to issuing a notice pursuant to Clause 20, provided however that K-Sure's consent shall not be required in order for any such notice of default to be issued (other than by K-Sure to the extent required under any K-Sure Insurance Policy).


		
	(i)
	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Finance Document, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent shall put to the vote of the Majority Lenders the question of whether the provisions of the Finance Documents as to the consequences of the occurrence of such Event of Default should apply and/or whether the remedies afforded under Clause 20 of this Agreement should be invoked.  Should the Majority Lenders vote in favor of any of actions described in the preceding sentence, the Agent and the Security Trustee shall be entitled to take the necessary steps to enforce the Finance Documents and the Lenders shall agree and execute and otherwise perfect and do all such acts and things necessary for such purpose.


		
	28.3

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Finance Document, nothing in this Agreement shall permit or oblige any K-Sure Lender to act (or omit to act) in a manner that is inconsistent with any requirement of K-Sure under or in connection with any K‐Sure Insurance Policy and, in particular:
		
	(l)
	each of the K-Sure Lenders shall be authorised to take all such actions as they may deem necessary to ensure that all requirements of K-Sure under or in connection with each of the K-Sure Insurance Policies are complied with; and


		
	(m)
	no K-Sure Lender shall be obliged to do anything if, in its opinion (upon consultation with K-Sure), to do so could result in a breach of any requirements of K-Sure under or in connection with a K-Sure Insurance Policy or affect the validity of a K-Sure Insurance Policy.

SCHEDULE 7    
MANDATORY COST FORMULA
		
	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 Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation Authority (or, in any 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 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 Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Advance) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.


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


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

	5.
	For the purposes of this Schedule:


		
	(a)

	(b)
	Fees Rules means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Conduct Authority Fees Manual or the Prudential Regulation Authority Fees Manual (as the case may be) 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 relevant Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the relevant Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate);


		
	(d)
	Participating Member State means any member state of the European Union that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Union relating to European Monetary Union; and

	the jurisdiction of its lending office; and


		
	(e)

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
		
	8.
	The rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraph 6 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the 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 lending office in the same jurisdiction as its lending office.


		
	9.
	The 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 pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.


		
	10.
	The 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 pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above.


		
	11.
	Any determination by the 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 error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.


		
	12.
	The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Guarantor 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 Financial Conduct Authority, the Prudential Regulation 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 error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.
