	 	(A)	 the increased US/UK Tranche Commitments, Norwegian Tranche Commitments and/or increased Total Commitments will
be assumed by one or more Lenders or other banks or financial institutions (each an “Increase Lender”) selected by the Obligors’ Agent (none of which shall be a member of the Group), which shall (taking into account any
Substitute Affiliate Lenders to be appointed at the time of such Increase Lender becoming a Lender) be legally able to comply with its obligations under this Agreement in respect of lending to the jurisdictions in which the Borrowers are
incorporated and which are acceptable to the Agent and each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and each of which confirms in writing (whether in the relevant Increase Confirmation or otherwise) its willingness to

Norwegian Tranche Commitments pursuant to this Clause 2.2 to an amount which would cause, at the time such increase takes effect, the aggregate Norwegian Tranche Commitments to exceed the greater of (i) USD 40,000,000 and (ii) 55 percent
of the Total Commitments, after giving effect to the proposed increase pursuant to this Clause 2.2.

acting reasonably, that the following conditions are satisfied; 


  

	 	(i)	 in relation to an Increase Lender which is not a Lender immediately prior to the relevant increase, the Agent

	 	(ii)	 the execution of any deeds of extension, confirmation agreement or equivalent documentation with respect to
existing Transaction Security, reasonably required by the Agent or the Increase Lender, or required as a matter of applicable local law ensuring that the Increase Lender will benefit from all existing Transaction Security and any other documentation
reasonably requested by the Agent in connection with the increase; 


  

	 	(iii)	 no Default is existing or will occur immediately following or as a result of such increase;



  

	 	(iv)	 the Repeating Representations are true and correct in all material respects and will be so true and correct on
the date on which any such increase will become effective (or, if any Repeating Representation is expressed to be given as of an earlier date, on such earlier date); 



 

	 	(v)	 receipt of all previously invoiced and documented reasonable out of pocket fees and expenses owing in respect
of such increase to the Agent and the agreed upon fees of the Increase Lender(s) (other than any fees which are only payable after such increase); and 


  

	 	(vi)	 the Agent has received evidence satisfactory to the Agent (acting reasonably) that any such increase of the
Total Commitments (if fully drawn) will not be in breach of the terms of any documentation evidencing the Material Indebtedness.

and (vi) above unless it has actual knowledge or reasonable belief that any such certification is incorrect.

Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the increase becomes effective in
accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as it would have been had it been an Original Lender.

	 	(g)	 The Increase Lender shall, on the date upon which the increase takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own

Lender. 


  

	 	(h)	 The relevant Obligor(s) may pay to the Increase Lender a fee in the amount and at the times agreed to be paid
by such Obligor in a Fee Letter between the Obligors’ Agent (or the relevant Obligor(s)) and the Increase Lender.

Lender whose Revolving Facility Commitment is replaced by an Increase Lender be required to pay or surrender any of the fees received by such Lender pursuant to the Finance Documents. 



 

	 	(j)	 Clause 29.4 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders) shall apply mutatis mutandis in this

increase;

perform its obligations under the Finance Documents does not affect the obligations of any other Party under the Finance Documents. No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents.




  
 58 













	 	(b)	 The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent
rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from an Obligor is a separate and independent debt in respect of which a Finance Party shall be entitled to enforce its rights in accordance with Clause 2.3(c). The rights of
each Finance Party include any debt owing to that Finance Party under the Finance Documents and, for the avoidance of doubt, any part of a Loan or any other amount owed by an Obligor which relates to a Finance Party’s participation in a
Facility or its role under a Finance Document (including any such amount payable to the Agent on its behalf) is a debt owing to that Finance Party by that Obligor. 



 

	 	(c)	 A Finance Party may, except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, separately enforce its rights
under or in connection with the Finance Documents. 


  

	2.4	 Obligors’ Agent 



 

	 	(a)	 Each Obligor (other than the Parent) by its execution of this Agreement or an Accession Deed irrevocably

Finance Parties and to give all notices and instructions (including, in the case of a Borrower, Utilisation Requests), to execute on its behalf any Accession Deed, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and
variations capable of being given, made or effected by any Obligor notwithstanding that they may affect the Obligor, without further reference to or the consent of that Obligor; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Obligor pursuant to the Finance
Documents to the Parent, 


 and in each case the Obligor shall be bound as though the Obligor itself had given the notices
and instructions (including any Utilisation Requests) or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication. 

 

	 	(b)	 Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or
other communication given or made by the Obligors’ Agent or given to the Obligors’ Agent under any Finance Document on behalf of another Obligor or in connection with any Finance Document (whether or not known to any other Obligor and
whether occurring before or after such other Obligor became an Obligor under any Finance Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Obligor as if that Obligor had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict
between any notices or other communications of the Obligors’ Agent and any other Obligor, those of the Obligors’ Agent shall prevail. 



  
 59

to be applied in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Agreement Obligations pursuant to Clause 36.6 (Partial payments).

 63 













	5.4	 Lenders’ participation 



 

	 	(a)	 If the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met, and subject to Clause 10.1 (Repayment of
Loans), each Lender shall make its participation in each Loan available by the Utilisation Date through its Facility Office. 


  

	 	(b)	 The amount of each Lender’s participation in each Loan will be equal to its Applicable Percentage of the
US/UK Tranche Commitments in the case of a US/UK Tranche Loan or the Norwegian Tranche Commitments in the case of a Norwegian Tranche Loan, in each case, immediately prior to making the Loan. 



 

	 	(c)	 The Agent shall determine the Base Currency Amount of each Revolving Facility Loan which is to be made in an
Agreed Currency and notify each Lender of the amount, currency and the Base Currency Amount of each Loan, the amount of its participation in that Loan and, if different, the amount of that participation to be made available in accordance with Clause
36.1 (Payments to the Agent) by the Specified Time. 


  

	5.5	 Lender Affiliates and Facility Office 



(a) In respect of a Loan or Loans to a particular Borrower (“Designated Loans”) a Lender (a “Designating
Lender”) may at any time and from time to time, acting reasonably, designate (by three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent or such shorter period as they may agree): 

 

	 	(i)	 a substitute Facility Office from which it will make Designated Loans (a “Substitute Facility
Office”); or 


  

	 	(ii)	 nominate an Affiliate to act as the Lender of Designated Loans (a “Substitute Affiliate
Lender”), 


 provided that a Designating Lender may only designate a Substitute Facility Office or nominate a
Substitute Affiliate Lender pursuant to this Clause to the extent that the relevant Substitute Facility Office or the Substitute Affiliate Lender is legally able to lend to the relevant Borrower. 

 

	 	(b)	 A notice to nominate a Substitute Affiliate Lender must be in the form set out in Schedule 8 (Form of
Substitute Affiliate Lender Designation Notice) and be countersigned by the relevant Substitute Affiliate Lender confirming it will be bound as a Lender under this Agreement in respect of the Designated Loans in respect of which it acts as
Lender. 


  

	 	(c)	 The Designating Lender will act as the representative of any Substitute Affiliate Lender it nominates for all
administrative purposes under this Agreement. The Obligors, the Agent and the other Finance Parties will be entitled to deal only with the Designating Lender, except that payments will be made (by the Agent, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement) in respect of Designated Loans to the Facility Office of the Substitute Affiliate Lender. In particular the Revolving Facility Commitments of the Designating Lender will not be treated as reduced by the introduction of the Substitute
Affiliate Lender for voting purposes under this Agreement or the other Finance Documents nor will the 



  
 64 













	 	
participations of such Substitute Affiliate Lender in Designated Loans entitle it to any rights or otherwise be treated as Revolving Facility Commitments for voting purposes under this Agreement
or the other Finance Documents, provided that if the Substitute Affiliate Lender is a Defaulting Lender the Designating Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for voting purposes under this Agreement. 


 

	 	(d)	 Save as mentioned in paragraph (c) above, a Substitute Affiliate Lender will be treated as a Lender for
all purposes under the Finance Documents and having a Revolving Facility Commitment equal to the principal amount of its outstanding participations in all Designated Loans in which it is participating if and for so long as it continues to be a
Substitute Affiliate Lender under this Agreement. 


  

	 	(e)	 A Designating Lender may revoke its designation of an Affiliate as a Substitute Affiliate Lender by notice in
writing to the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent provided that such notice may only take effect when there are no Designated Loans outstanding to the Substitute Affiliate Lender. Upon such Substitute Affiliate Lender ceasing to be a Substitute
Affiliate Lender the Designating Lender will automatically assume (and be deemed to assume without further action by any Party) all rights and obligations previously vested in the Substitute Affiliate Lender. 



 

	 	(f)	 If a Designating Lender designates a Substitute Facility Office or Substitute Affiliate Lender in accordance
with this clause: 


  

	 	(i)	 any Substitute Affiliate Lender shall be treated for the purposes of Clause 18.2(d)(i) (Tax gross-up) as having become a Lender on the date of this Agreement; 


  

	 	(ii)	 the Designating Lender shall ensure that the relevant Substitute Affiliate Lender funds its participations in
Loans to be funded by such Substitute Affiliate Lender and performs each obligation it would be required to perform if it was a Party; and 


  

	 	(iii)	 as a result of circumstances existing at the date the designation occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a
payment to the Substitute Affiliate Lender or Designating Lender acting through a Substitute Facility Office under Clause 19 (Increased costs), then, the Substitute Affiliate Lender or Designating Lender acting through a Substitute Facility
Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Designating Lender would have been if the designation had not occurred. 



 

	5.6	 Cancellation of Commitment  



The Revolving Facility Commitments which, at that time, are unutilised shall be immediately cancelled at the end of the Availability Period.


  
 65 













	5.7	 Adjustment of Tranches 



 

	 	(a)	 The Agent may: 


  

	 	(i)	 in any Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement in relation to a New Lender; and/or 



 

	 	(ii)	 from time to time with three Business Days’ prior notice to the Obligors’ Agent,



 designate an amount of the Lenders’ US/UK Tranche Commitments as “Exclusive US/UK Tranche
Commitments” provided that the aggregate US/UK Tranche Commitments of all Lenders designated as Exclusive US/UK Tranche Commitments at the time it signs such Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement or the date it provides the relevant
notification (as applicable) does not exceed in aggregate one third of the Total Commitments.    The Agent shall, in any applicable Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement and/or in any notice delivered pursuant to this
paragraph (a), specify the Exclusive US/UK Tranche Commitments applicable to the relevant Lender(s). If reasonably requested by the Obligors’ Agent for the purposes of exercising a reallocation pursuant to this Clause 5.7, the Agent will
confirm to the Obligors’ Agent the Exclusive US/UK Tranche Commitments applicable to the relevant Lender(s). 
  

	 	(b)	 Once so designated, the Exclusive US/UK Tranche Commitments of a Lender may not be adjusted without the consent
of that Lender. Any cancellation of the US/UK Tranche Commitments of a Lender shall reduce pro rata the Exclusive US/UK Tranche Commitments of that Lender 


  

	 	(c)	 Not more than once in any three month period (and provided that no Default or Event of Default is continuing or
would result therefrom), the Obligors’ Agent may make a request to the Agent in writing (an “Adjustment Request”) that an amount of the US/UK Tranche Commitments of the Lenders with US/UK Tranche Commitments be reallocated as
Norwegian Tranche Commitments of those Lenders or that an amount of the Norwegian Tranche Commitments of the Lenders with Norwegian Tranche Commitments be reallocated as US/UK Tranche Commitments of those Lenders (in each case a “Tranche
Adjustment”). Any such Tranche Adjustment shall specify the amount of each Lender’s US/UK Tranche Commitment or Norwegian Tranche Commitment (as applicable) that is to be reallocated as a Norwegian Tranche Commitment or US/UK Tranche
Commitment (as applicable) of that Lender (which amounts may be selected by the Obligors’ Agent and shall not be required to be pro rata amongst the relevant Lenders) provided always that: (i) the Obligors’ Agent may not request any
Tranche Adjustment that would result in any Lender’s US/UK Tranche Commitment being less than its Exclusive US/UK Tranche Commitments; (ii) the sum of the US/UK Tranche Commitments and the Norwegian Tranche Commitments shall not exceed the
Total Commitments; and (iii) the Norwegian Tranche Commitments shall at no time exceed the greater of (i) USD 40,000,000 and (ii) 55 percent of the Total Commitments 



 

	 	(d)	 For the avoidance of doubt any Tranche Adjustment that is made in accordance with paragraph (c) above may
not increase any Lender’s aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments. A Tranche Adjustment that is not made in accordance with paragraph (c) above or this paragraph (d) requires the consent of all the Lenders. A Tranche Adjustment that
is made in accordance with paragraph (c) above and this paragraph (d) shall not require the consent of any of the Lenders. 



  
 66 













	 	(e)	 Following the receipt of an Adjustment Request, the Agent shall inform the applicable Lenders accordingly and,
if required, request their consent to the relevant Tranche Adjustment. 


  

	 	(f)	 The applicable Lenders may, acting reasonably, request any information from the Obligors’ Agent in
relation to such Tranche Adjustment, which the Obligors’ Agent shall use reasonable endeavours to provide. 


  

	 	(g)	 If the consent of the Lenders is required pursuant to Clause 5.7(d) and has not been received within ten
Business Days of receipt by the Lenders from the Agent of the Adjustment Request, the Adjustment Request shall be deemed to be rejected by such Lender(s) and no such Tranche Adjustment shall be made in relation to such Lender(s).



  

	 	(h)	 If consent is required, the relevant Lenders may give their consent to any Adjustment Request subject to such
conditions as they may reasonably request but no such conditions shall be effective unless agreed by the Borrowers (provided always if the Obligors do not satisfy such conditions, the Lenders shall not be under any obligation to agree to the
Adjustment Request). 


  

	 	(i)	 If the applicable Lenders give their consent to the Adjustment Request (or if no consent is required) then the
US/UK Tranche Commitments and the Norwegian Tranche Commitments of each applicable Lender shall be adjusted accordingly as requested with effect from the date set out in the Adjustment Request (or, if consent of the Lenders is required, the date
such consent is provided or, in any case, any later date agreed between the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent) and on such date, if applicable the Agent shall effect such changes (if any) to the outstanding Loans which are necessary to ensure
compliance with the adjusted US/UK Tranche Commitments and Norwegian Tranche Commitments, and the Obligors’ Agent and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have made such prepayment requests and shall be deemed to have submitted such Utilisation
Requests as may be necessary to effect such changes. 


  

	5.8	 Revaluation of Loans 



If any Loans are denominated in an Agreed Currency, the Agent shall, at the end of each calendar month, recalculate the Base Currency Amount of
each such Loan by notionally converting into the Base Currency the outstanding amount of that Loan on the basis of the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange on the date of calculation and notify the Obligors’ Agent of such recalculation within
seven Business Days of the end of each calendar month. The Obligors’ Agent shall use the most recently notified amounts of such Loans for the purposes of the next Aggregate Borrowing Base Certificate following the date of such notification.


  
 67

	 	(b)	 Subject to Clause 4.1 (Initial conditions precedent), the Issuing Bank will only be obliged to comply

	 	(i)	 in the case of a Letter of Credit to be renewed in accordance with Clause 6.6 no Event of Default is continuing
or would result from the proposed Utilisation and, in the case of any other Utilisation, no Default is continuing or would result from the proposed Utilisation; and

	6.6	 Renewal of a Letter of Credit 



 

	 	(a)	 A Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf) may request that any Letter of Credit issued at the
request of that Borrower be renewed by delivery to the Agent of a Renewal Request in substantially similar form to a Utilisation Request for a Letter of Credit by the Specified Time.

Bank in accordance with Clause 7.4(g) (Cash collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and Borrower’s option to provide cash cover), 



the Issuing Bank may, subject to paragraph (d) below, reduce the amount of that Letter of Credit by an amount equal to the amount of the
participation of that Non-Acceptable L/C Lender in respect of that Letter of Credit and that Non-Acceptable L/C Lender shall be deemed not to have any participation (or
obligation to indemnify the Issuing Bank) in respect of that Letter of Credit for the purposes of the Finance Documents. 
  

	 	(b)	 The Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent of each reduction made pursuant to this
Clause 6.7.

are not Non-Acceptable L/C Lenders the Issuing Bank shall not reduce a Letter of Credit but instead the relevant Non-Acceptable L/C Lender shall cease to have any
participation in respect of that Letter of Credit and its participations will be reallocated to such other Lenders pro rata to their applicable Available Commitments. 



 

	6.8	 Revaluation of Letters of Credit 



If any Letters of Credit are denominated in an Agreed Currency, the Agent shall, at the end of each calendar month, recalculate the Base
Currency Amount of each such Letter of Credit by notionally converting into the Base Currency the outstanding amount of that Letter of Credit on the basis of the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange on the date of calculation and notify the
Obligors’ Agent of such recalculation within seven Business Days of the end of each calendar month. The Obligors’ Agent shall use the most recently notified amounts of such Letters of Credit for the purposes of the next Aggregate Borrowing
Base Certificate following the date of such notification. 
  

	6.9	 Reduction or expiry of Letter of Credit 



If the amount of any Letter of Credit is wholly or partially reduced or it is repaid or prepaid or it expires prior to its Expiry Date, the
relevant Issuing Bank and the Borrower that requested (or on behalf of which the Obligors’ Agent requested) the issue of that Letter of Credit shall promptly notify the Agent of the details upon becoming aware of them. 

 

	6.10	 Appointment of additional Issuing Banks 



Any Lender which has agreed to the Obligors’ Agent’s request to be an Issuing Bank for the purposes of this Agreement shall become a
Party as an “Issuing Bank” upon notifying the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent that it has so agreed to be an Issuing Bank. 

  
 72 













	7.	 LETTERS OF CREDIT 



 

	7.1	 Immediately payable 



If a Letter of Credit or any amount outstanding under a Letter of Credit is expressed to be immediately payable, the Borrower that requested
(or on behalf of which the Obligors’ Agent requested) the issue of that Letter of Credit shall repay or prepay that amount immediately. 
  

	7.2	 Claims under a Letter of Credit 



 

	 	(a)	 Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally authorises the Issuing Bank to pay any claim made or purported to
be made under a Letter of Credit requested by it (or requested by the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf) and which appears on its face to be in order (in this Clause 7, a “claim”). 



 

	 	(b)	 Each Borrower shall immediately on demand pay to the Agent for the Issuing Bank an amount equal to the amount
of any claim. 


  

	 	(c)	 Each Borrower acknowledges that the Issuing Bank: 



 

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


  

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


  

	 	(d)	 The obligations of a Borrower under this Clause 7 will not be affected by: 



 

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



 

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



  

	7.3	 Indemnities 


  

	 	(a)	 Each Borrower shall immediately on demand indemnify the Issuing Bank against any cost, loss or liability
incurred by the Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit requested by (or on behalf of) that Borrower. 



 

	 	(b)	 Each Lender shall (according to its L/C Proportion) immediately on demand indemnify the Issuing Bank against
any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (unless the Issuing Bank has been
reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document). 



  
 73 













	 	(c)	 The Borrower which requested (or on behalf of which the Obligors’ Agent requested) a Letter of Credit
shall immediately on demand reimburse any Lender for any payment it makes to the Issuing Bank under this Clause 7.3 in respect of that Letter of Credit. 


  

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



 

	 	(e)	 If a Borrower has provided cash cover in respect of a Lender’s participation in a Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank shall seek reimbursement from that cash cover before making a demand of that Lender under Clause 7.3(b). Any recovery made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to that cash cover will reduce that Lender’s liability under Clause 7.3(b).



  

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



 

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


  

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


  

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



 

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


  

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


  

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


  

	 	(vii)	 any insolvency or similar proceedings.

	7.4	 Cash collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and
Borrower’s option to provide cash cover 


  

	 	(a)	 If, at any time, a Lender under the Revolving Facility is a
Non-Acceptable L/C Lender, the Issuing Bank may, by notice to that Lender, request that Lender to pay and that Lender shall pay, on or prior to the date falling two Business Days after the request by the
Issuing Bank, an amount equal to that Lender’s L/C Proportion of: 


  

	 	(i)	 the outstanding amount of a Letter of Credit; or 



 

	 	(ii)	 in the case of a proposed Letter of Credit, the amount of that proposed Letter of Credit,



 and in the currency of that Letter of Credit to an interest-bearing account held in the name of that Lender with the
Issuing Bank. 
  

	 	(b)	 The Non-Acceptable L/C Lender to whom a request has been made in
accordance with Clause 7.4(a) shall enter into a security document or other form of collateral arrangement over the account, in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, as collateral for any amounts due and payable under this Agreement
by that Lender to the Issuing Bank in respect of that Letter of Credit. 


  

	 	(c)	 Subject to Clause 7.4(f), withdrawals from such an account may only be made to pay the Issuing Bank amounts due
and payable to it under this Agreement by the Non-Acceptable L/C Lender in respect of that Letter of Credit until no amount is or may be outstanding under that Letter of Credit. 



 

	 	(d)	 Each Lender shall notify the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent: 



 

	 	(i)	 on the date of this Agreement or on any later date on which it becomes a Lender in accordance with Clause 2.2
(Increase) or Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders) whether it is a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 as soon as practicable upon becoming aware of the same, that it has become a
Non-Acceptable L/C Lender, 


 and an indication in Schedule 1 (The Original
Parties), in a Transfer Certificate, in an Assignment Agreement or in an Increase Confirmation to that effect will constitute a notice under Clause 7.4(d)(i) to the Agent and, upon delivery in accordance with Clause 29.7 (Copy of Transfer
Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation to Obligors’ Agent), to the Obligors’ Agent. 
  

	 	(e)	 Any notice received by the Agent pursuant to Clause 7.4(d) shall constitute notice to the Issuing Bank of that
Lender’s status and the Agent shall, upon receiving each such notice, promptly notify the Issuing Bank of that Lender’s status as specified in that notice. 



  
 75 













	 	(f)	 Notwithstanding Clause 7.4(c), a Lender which has provided cash collateral in accordance with this Clause 7.4
may, by notice to the Issuing Bank, request that an amount equal to the amount provided by it as collateral in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit (together with any accrued interest) be returned to it: 



 

	 	(i)	 to the extent that such cash collateral has not been applied in satisfaction of any amount due and payable
under this Agreement by that Lender to the Issuing Bank in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit; 


  

	 	(ii)	 if: 


  

	 	(A)	 it ceases to be a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; 



 

	 	(B)	 its obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit are transferred to a New Lender in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement; or 


  

	 	(C)	 an Increase Lender has agreed to undertake that Lender’s obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of
Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and 


  

	 	(iii)	 if no amount is due and payable by that Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit, and the Issuing Bank shall pay
that amount to the Lender within three Business Days of that Lender’s request (and shall cooperate with the Lender in order to procure that the relevant security or collateral arrangement is released and discharged). 



 

	 	(g)	 To the extent that a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender fails to provide cash
collateral (or notifies the Issuing Bank that it will not provide cash collateral) in accordance with this Clause 7.4 in respect of a proposed Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Obligors’ Agent (with a copy to the
Agent) and the Borrower of that proposed Letter of Credit may, at any time before the proposed Utilisation Date of that Letter of Credit, provide cash cover to an account with the Issuing Bank in an amount equal to that Lender’s L/C Proportion
of the amount of that proposed Letter of Credit. 


  

	7.5	 Requirement for cash cover from Borrower 



If: 
  

	 	(a)	 a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender fails to provide cash collateral (or
notifies the Issuing Bank that it will not provide cash collateral) in accordance with Clause 7.4 (Cash collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and Borrower’s option to provide cash cover) in
respect of a Letter of Credit that has been issued; 


  

	 	(b)	 the Issuing Bank notifies the Obligors’ Agent (with a copy to the Agent) that it requires the Borrower of
the relevant Letter of Credit to provide cash cover to an account with the Issuing Bank in an amount equal to that Non-Acceptable L/C Lender’s L/C Proportion of the outstanding amount of that Letter of
Credit (or if less, the amount of cash cover the Non-Acceptable L/C Lender has failed to provide); 



  
 76 













	 	(c)	 that Borrower has not already provided such cash cover which is continuing to stand as collateral; and



  

	 	(d)	 a Cash Dominion Period is continuing, 



then that Borrower shall provide such cash cover within 10 Business Days of the notice referred to in Clause 7.5(b) (unless the relevant Non-Acceptable L/C Lender has been replaced as a Lender). 
  

	7.6	 Regulation and consequences of cash cover provided by Borrower 



 

	 	(a)	 Any cash cover provided by a Borrower pursuant to Clause 7.4 or Clause 7.5 may be funded out of a Revolving
Facility Loan. 


  

	 	(b)	 Notwithstanding Clause 1.2(e) (Construction), the relevant Borrower may request that an amount equal to
the cash cover (together with any accrued interest) provided by it pursuant to Clause 7.4 or Clause 7.5 be returned to it: 


  

	 	(i)	 to the extent that such cash cover has not been applied in satisfaction of any amount due and payable under
this Agreement by that Borrower to the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit; 


  

	 	(ii)	 if: 


  

	 	(A)	 the relevant Lender ceases to be a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender;



  

	 	(B)	 the relevant Lender’s obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit are transferred to a New
Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or 


  

	 	(C)	 an Increase Lender has agreed to undertake the relevant Lender’s obligations in respect of the relevant
Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and 


  

	 	(iii)	 if no amount is due and payable by the relevant Lender in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit,



 and the Issuing Bank shall pay that amount to that Borrower within 3 Business Days of that Borrower’s request.

  

	 	(c)	 To the extent that a Borrower has provided cash cover pursuant to Clause 7.4 or Clause 7.5, the relevant
Lender’s L/C Proportion in respect of that Letter of Credit will remain (but that Lender’s obligations in relation to that Letter of Credit may be satisfied in accordance with Clause 1.2(e)(ii) (Construction)). However the relevant
Borrower’s obligation to pay any Letter of Credit fee in relation to the relevant Letter of Credit to the Agent (for the account of that Lender) in accordance with Clause 17.3(b) (Fees payable in respect of Letters of Credit) will be
reduced proportionately as from the date on which it provides that cash cover (and for so long as the relevant amount of cash cover continues to stand as collateral). 



  
 77 













	 	(d)	 The relevant Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of the extent to which a Borrower provides cash cover
pursuant to Clause 7.4 or Clause 7.5 and of any change in the amount of cash cover so provided. 


  

	7.7	 Rights of contribution 



No Obligor will be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity from any Finance Party in respect of any payment it may make under this
Clause 7 (other than a Defaulting Lender which has failed to comply with this Clause 7, provided always that in no event shall any right of contribution or indemnity attach to, or adversely affect, any other Finance Party). 

 

	8.	 SWINGLINE LOANS 



 

	 	(a)	 The Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders agree that a Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on behalf of
a Borrower) may request a Swingline Loan by submitting a duly completed Utilisation Request by the Specified Time. Following such request, the terms of this Clause 8 apply and the Swingline Lender will, on behalf of the Lenders and in the amount
requested, advance same day funds to the relevant Borrower, on the date of the applicable Utilisation to the bank account nominated by the relevant Borrower for the purpose of receiving such amounts from time to time (each such loan made solely by
the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Clause 8 is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among the Lenders as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set out in this Clause 8.



  

	 	(b)	 Except as otherwise provided in this Clause 8, each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and
conditions applicable to other Loans funded by the Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline Lender solely for its own account. 



 

	 	(c)	 The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed USD 7,500,000.



  

	 	(d)	 The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan exceeds Aggregate
Availability or the relevant Borrower’s Availability before or after giving effect to such Swingline Loan. 


  

	 	(e)	 Upon the making of a Swingline Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless
of whether a Settlement (as defined below) has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of its US/UK Tranche Commitments or Norwegian Tranche Commitments (as applicable). 



 

	 	(f)	 The Swingline Lender may, at any time, require the Lenders to fund their participations referred to in
paragraph (e). From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan purchased hereunder, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all
payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Charged Property received by the Agent in respect of such Swingline Loan. 



  
 78 













	 	(g)	 The Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, may request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the
Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Agent elects, by notifying the relevant Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 11.00 a.m. London time
on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
outstanding principal amount of the applicable Swingline Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Agent, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, not later than 3.00 p.m., on such Settlement Date.



  

	 	(h)	 Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent
set out in Clause 4.2 (Further conditions precedent) have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with the Swingline
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute ABR Rate Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Agent by any Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be
entitled to recover from such Lender on demand such amount, together with interest thereon. 


  

	 	(i)	 All Swingline Loans will be denominated in US dollars. 



 

	9.	 AGREED CURRENCIES  



 

	9.1	 Selection of currency 



A Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf) shall select the currency of a Utilisation in a Utilisation Request. 

 

	9.2	 Unavailability of a currency 



If before the Specified Time on any Quotation Day: 
  

	 	(a)	 a Lender notifies the Agent that the Agreed Currency requested is not readily available to it in the amount
required; or 


  

	 	(b)	 a Lender notifies the Agent that compliance with its obligation to participate in a Loan in the proposed Agreed
Currency would contravene a law or regulation applicable to it, 



  
 79 












 the Agent will give notice to the relevant Borrower to that effect by the Specified Time on
that day. In this event, any Lender that gives notice pursuant to this Clause 9.2 will be required to participate in the Loan in the Base Currency (in an amount equal to that Lender’s proportion of the Base Currency Amount, or in respect
of a Rollover Loan, an amount equal to that Lender’s proportion of the Base Currency Amount of the Rollover Loan that is due to be made) and its participation will be treated as a separate Loan denominated in the Base Currency during that
Interest Period. 
  

	9.3	 Agent’s calculations 



Each Lender’s participation in a Loan will be determined in accordance with Clause 5.4(b) (Lenders’ participation).

 SECTION 4 

REPAYMENT, PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION 
  

	10.	 REPAYMENT 


  

	10.1	 Repayment of Loans and Letters of Credit 



 

	 	(a)	 Subject to Clause 10.1(d), each Borrower which has drawn a Revolving Facility Loan shall repay that Loan:



  

	 	(i)	 on the last day of its Interest Period (in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans and NIBOR Rate Loans); and



  

	 	(ii)	 on the Termination Date (in the case of ABR Rate Loans and Foreign Base Rate Loans). 



 

	 	(b)	 Notwithstanding the above, all Loans (including Swingline Loans) shall be repaid in full on the Termination
Date. 


  

	 	(c)	 Without prejudice to each Borrower’s obligation under Clause 10.1(a), if: 



 

	 	(i)	 one or more Revolving Facility Loans are to be made available to a Borrower: 



 

	 	(A)	 on the same day that a maturing Revolving Facility Loan is due to be repaid by that Borrower;



  

	 	(B)	 in the same currency as the maturing Revolving Facility Loan (unless it arose as a result of the operation of
Clause 9.2 (Unavailability of a currency)); and 


  

	 	(C)	 in whole or in part for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Revolving Facility Loan; and



  

	 	(ii)	 the proportion borne by each Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan to the amount
of that maturing Revolving Facility Loan is the same as the proportion borne by that Lender’s participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans to the aggregate amount of those new Revolving Facility Loans, 



the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans shall, unless the relevant Borrower or the Obligors’ Agent notifies the Agent to
the contrary in the relevant Utilisation Request, be treated as if applied in or towards repayment of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan so that: 
  

	 	(A)	 if the amount of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of the new Revolving
Facility Loans: 


  

	 	(1)	 the relevant Borrower will only be required to make a payment under Clause 36.1 (Payments to the Agent)
in an amount in the relevant currency equal to that excess; and 



  
 81 













	 	(2)	 each Lender’s participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans shall be treated as having been made
available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan and that Lender will not be required to make a payment under Clause 36.1 (Payments to the Agent) in
respect of its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans; and 


  

	 	(B)	 if the amount of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the new
Revolving Facility Loans: 


  

	 	(1)	 the relevant Borrower will not be required to make a payment under Clause 36.1 (Payments to the Agent);
and 


  

	 	(2)	 each Lender will be required to make a payment under Clause 36.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of
its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans only to the extent that its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans exceeds that Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan and the remainder of that
Lender’s participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan.



  

	 	(d)	 At any time when a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that
Lender in the Revolving Facility Loans then outstanding will be automatically extended to the Termination Date and will be treated as separate Revolving Facility Loans (the “Separate Loans”) denominated in the currency in which the
relevant participations are outstanding. 


  

	 	(e)	 A Borrower may repay any Separate Loan by giving not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the
Agent. The Agent will forward a copy of a prepayment notice received in accordance with this Clause 10.1(e) to the Defaulting Lender concerned as soon as practicable on receipt. 



 

	 	(f)	 Interest in respect of a Separate Loan will accrue on the same basis as the relevant Revolving Facility Loan
and if the relevant Revolving Facility Loan was a LIBOR Rate Loan or NIBOR Rate Loan for successive Interest Periods selected by the Borrower by the time and date specified by the Agent (acting reasonably) and will be payable by that Borrower to the
Agent (for the account of that Defaulting Lender) on the last day of each Interest Period of that Loan. 


  

	 	(g)	 The terms of this Agreement relating to Revolving Facility Loans generally shall continue to apply to Separate
Loans other than to the extent inconsistent with Clause 10.1(d) to (f) above, in which case those paragraphs shall prevail in respect of any Separate Loan. 



  
 82 













	 	(h)	 Each Borrower on whose behalf a Letter of Credit has been issued which is outstanding on the Termination Date
shall repay that Letter of Credit on the Termination Date. 


  

	10.2	 Restrictions on Receivables and Cash Dominion 



 

	 	(a)	 Each Borrower covenants with the Agent that it will: 



 

	 	(i)	 not (without the prior written consent of the Agent) create Security over (otherwise than pursuant to the
Transaction Security Documents), dispose of, release, set off, compound or otherwise deal with the Receivables of Eligible Account Debtors otherwise than by getting in and realising them in the ordinary and proper course of its business (and for
this purpose the realisation of the Receivables of Eligible Account Debtors by means of block discounting, factoring or the like shall not be regarded as dealing in the ordinary and proper course of its business); 



 

	 	(ii)	 pay or procure the payment of the proceeds of Receivables of Eligible Account Debtors (other than Excluded
Receivables) into a Collection Account governed by a mandate and/or other agreement in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent (including a Deposit Account Control Agreement) and conferring control over such account on the Security
Agent in the use of any Collection Account of the English Borrower and each Borrower hereby declares itself trustee of proceeds of any such Receivables not from time to time so paid to hold the same upon trust (or, in jurisdictions where the concept
of trust is not recognised, as agent) for the Security Agent to pay the same to the Agent in or towards payment and discharge of the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Agent may in its absolute and unfettered discretion from time to
time conclusively determine, it being understood and agreed that if the proceeds of Receivables of Eligible Account Debtors invoiced as of the date of this Agreement (or in the case of the US Borrower as of the US Borrower Accession Date) are paid
into the accounts indicated on the relevant invoices and promptly transferred to the relevant Collection Account (and until such time as such amounts are so transferred, they shall be held on trust by the relevant Borrower for the Agent) any such
payment shall not be a breach of any provisions of any Finance Document or render any such Receivable as not being an Eligible Receivable and any prompt payment by a Borrower of an amount which should have been received in a Collection Account into
a Collection Account shall cure any Default arising from such receipt into another account; 


  

	 	(iii)	 provide any instruction or authorisation to the relevant account bank reasonably required by the Agent for the
Agent and Security Agent to ensure that the provisions of Clause 10.2(b) to Clause 10.2(e) are capable of being complied with; 


  

	 	(iv)	 promptly upon opening a Collection Account, enter into a Deposit Account Control Agreement duly executed by
such Borrower and the account bank with which the relevant account is maintained; and 



  
 83 













	 	(v)	 in the event that the Deposit Account Control Agreement takes the form of a notice and acknowledgement with the
applicable account bank, use its reasonable endeavours to procure that such account bank delivers to the Agent a written acknowledgement substantially in the form of the acknowledgement and agreement attached to the notice provided that such account
shall not be a Collection Account for the purposes of the Finance Documents unless a Deposit Account Control Agreement has been entered into or such acknowledgement received. 



 

	 	(b)	 Subject to Clause 10.2(e), on each Business Day all funds standing to the credit of each Collection
Account of the English Borrower shall be transferred by the Security Agent into a bank account of the Agent in the relevant currency nominated by the Agent for the purposes of this clause (each such bank account being an “English Payment
Account”) and the Agent shall apply all funds standing to the credit of each English Payment Account: 


  

	 	(i)	 first, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders then owed

basis); 


  

	 	(ii)	 second, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Defaulting Lenders then owed by the English
Borrower (in such order as is selected by the English Borrower on the giving of not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent or if not so selected, on a pro-rata basis);



  

	 	(iii)	 third, in and towards payment pro rata of any outstanding amounts of interest, fees, costs and expenses and any
other amounts due from and owing by the English Borrower but unpaid under the Finance Documents; and 


  

	 	(iv)	 fourth, the balance, if any, in the Permitted Discretion of the Agent, to either be (A) returned by the
Agent to the relevant Collection Account of the English Borrower or (B) paid by the Agent to a bank account (not being a Collection Account) of the English Borrower. 



 

	 	(c)	 Subject to Clause 10.2(e), on each Business Day during a Cash Dominion Period all funds standing to the
credit of each Collection Account of the Norwegian Borrower shall be transferred by the Security Agent into a bank account of the Agent in the relevant currency nominated by the Agent for the purposes of this clause (each such bank account being a
“Norwegian Payment Account”) and the Agent shall apply all funds standing to the credit of each Norwegian Payment Account: 


  

	 	(i)	 first, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders then owed
by the Norwegian Borrower (in such order as is selected by the Norwegian Borrower on the giving of not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent or if not so selected on a pro-rata
basis); 



  
 84 













	 	(ii)	 second, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Defaulting Lenders then owed by the Norwegian
Borrower (in such order as is selected by the Norwegian Borrower on the giving of not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent or if not so selected on a pro-rata basis);



  

	 	(iii)	 third, in and towards payment pro rata of any outstanding amounts of interest, fees, costs and expenses and any

	 	(iv)	 fourth, the balance, if any, to be paid by the Agent to a bank account (not being a Collection Account) of the
Norwegian Borrower. 


  

	 	(d)	 Subject to Clause 10.2(e), on each Business Day during a Cash Dominion Period all funds standing to the
credit of each Collection Account of the US Borrower shall be transferred by the Security Agent into a bank account of the Agent in the relevant currency nominated by the Agent for the purposes of this clause (each such bank account being a
“US Payment Account”) and the Agent shall apply all funds standing to the credit of each US Payment Account: 


  

	 	(i)	 first, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders then owed
by the US Borrower (in such order as is selected by the US Borrower on the giving of not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent or if not so selected on a pro-rata basis);



  

	 	(ii)	 second, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Defaulting Lenders then owed by the US Borrower
(in such order as is selected by the US Borrower on the giving of not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent or if not so selected on a pro-rata basis); 



 

	 	(iii)	 third, in and towards payment pro rata of any outstanding amounts of interest, fees, costs and expenses and any

selected by the US Borrower on the giving of not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent or if not so selected on a pro-rata basis); and 



 

	 	(v)	 fifth, the balance, if any, to be paid by the Agent to a bank account (not being a Collection Account) of the
US Borrower. 


  

	 	(e)	 While an Event of Default is continuing all funds standing to the credit of each Collection Account, each
English Payment Account, each Norwegian Payment Account and each US Payment Account shall be applied by the Agent (and transferred to the Agent by the Security Agent for such purpose): 



  
 85 













	 	(i)	 first, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders then
outstanding (on a pro-rata basis) and to provide cash cover of up to (A) 101 percent of the aggregate amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit denominated in Agreed Currencies and (B) 100 percent
of the aggregate amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit denominated in US dollars (in each case to the extent not already cash covered); 


  

	 	(ii)	 second, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Defaulting Lenders then outstanding (on a pro-rata basis);

Agent to the relevant Collection Account or (B) paid to a bank account (not being a Collection Account) of the relevant Borrower. 



In connection with Clause 10.2(e)(i) and (ii), amounts standing to the credit of (A) any English Payment Account shall first be used to
prepay the Loans made to the English Borrower and provide cash cover in relation to Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of the English Borrower before being applied in relation to the Loans made to any other Borrower and provide cash cover in
relation to Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of any other Borrower, (B) any Norwegian Payment Account shall first be used to prepay the Loans made to the Norwegian Borrower and provide cash cover in relation to Letters of Credit issued
for the benefit of the Norwegian Borrower before being applied in relation to the Loans made to any other Borrower and provide cash cover in relation to Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of any other Borrower, and (C) any US Payment
Account shall first be used to prepay the Loans made to the US Borrower and provide cash cover in relation to Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of the US Borrower before being applied in relation to the Loans made to any other Borrower and

 SECTION 5 

COSTS OF UTILISATION 
  

	14.	 INTEREST 


  

	14.1	 Calculation of interest 



 

	 	(a)	 The rate of interest on each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) for each Interest Period is the percentage rate
per annum which is the aggregate of:

Termination Date.

	 	(a)	 If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date (other than any
overdue amount which consists of all or part of a Loan), interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is two percent per annum higher than the rate
which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a LIBOR Rate Loan or NIBOR Rate Loan in the same currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest
Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). 



  
 92 













	 	(b)	 If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the
due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is two percent per annum higher than the rate which would otherwise have applied to that Loan. 



 

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


  

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


  

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

	16.	 CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST 



 

	16.1	 Unavailability of Screen Rate 



 

	 	(a)	 Interpolated Screen Rate: If no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR or, if applicable, NIBOR for the
Interest Period of a Loan, the applicable LIBOR or NIBOR shall be the Interpolated Screen Rate for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Loan. 



 

	 	(b)	 Alternative Source: If at any time the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Clause 16.1(a) or Clause 16.2 have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Clause 16.1(a) or Clause 16.2 have not arisen
but the supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR or NIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or NIBOR shall no longer be used for determining
interest rates for loans, then the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to LIBOR or NIBOR (as applicable) that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a
rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States of America at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect any such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be
applicable and agreed by the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Clause 42 (Amendments and waivers.), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other
party to this Agreement so long as the Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that such Majority
Lenders object to such amendment. Notwithstanding the above, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement 



 

	 	(c)	 Cost of funds: In the event that Clause 16.1(b) applies but the Majority Lenders have objected to
the comparable or successor rate (or until the Agent and the Borrowers (or the Obligors’ Agent on their behalf) have approved such comparable or successor rate) Clause 16.3 shall apply to that Loan for that Interest Period.




  
 94

If, before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or
Lenders (whose participations in a LIBOR Rate Loan or NIBOR Rate Loan exceed 50 percent of that Loan) that the cost to it of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of LIBOR in the
case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, or NIBOR in the case of a NIBOR Rate Loan (or if the Majority Lenders cannot agree a substitute rate in accordance with Clause 16.1(b)) then Clause 16.3 shall apply to that Loan for the relevant Interest Period. 

 

	16.3	 Cost of funds 



 

	 	(a)	 If this Clause 16.3 applies, the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of the relevant Loan for the
relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of: 


  

	 	(i)	 the Applicable Margin; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event within two Business Days
of the first day of that Interest Period (or, if earlier, on the date falling two Business Days before the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period), to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the
cost to the relevant Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select. 


  

	 	(b)	 If this Clause 16.3 applies and the Agent or the Obligors’ Agent so requires, the Agent and the
Obligors’ Agent shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

	 	(i)	 a Lender’s Funding Rate is less than LIBOR in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan or, in relation to any NIBOR
Rate Loan, NIBOR; or 


  

	 	(ii)	 a Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in Clause 16.3(a)(ii), 



the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of Clause
16.3(a), to be LIBOR or, in relation to a Loan in Norwegian Kroner, NIBOR. 
  

	16.4	 Notification to Obligors’ Agent 



If Clause 16.3 applies the Agent shall, as soon as is practicable, notify the Obligors’ Agent.

Sum provided that no Break Costs shall be due in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Clause 10.2 (Restrictions on Receivables and Cash Dominion).

falling five Business Days after the end of that Financial Quarter, and, if cancelled in full, on the cancelled amount of the relevant Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment at the time the cancellation is effective. 



 

	 	(c)	 No commitment fee is payable to the Agent (for the account of a Lender) for any day on which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender. The aggregate commitment fee otherwise payable to the Agent shall be reduced by the amount to which a Defaulting Lender is not entitled pursuant to this Clause 17.1(c) and provided that such reduction shall only reduce the
proportion of the fee that would otherwise have been payable for the account of the relevant Defaulting Lender.

the period from the issue of that Letter of Credit until its Expiry Date. Subject to Clause 7.6(c) (Regulation and consequences of cash cover provided by Borrower), this fee shall be distributed according to each Lender’s L/C Proportion
of that Letter of Credit. 


  

	 	(c)	 The accrued fronting fee and Letter of Credit fee on a Letter of Credit shall be payable on the first Business
Day of each Financial Quarter (or such shorter period as shall end on the Expiry Date for that Letter of Credit) starting on the date of this Agreement. 


  

	 	(d)	 If a Borrower provides cash cover in respect of any Letter of Credit: 



 

	 	(i)	 the fronting fee payable to the Issuing Bank and (subject to Clause 7.6(c) (Regulation and consequences
of cash cover provided by Borrower)), the Letter of Credit fee payable for the account of each Lender shall continue to be payable until the expiry of the Letter of Credit but taking into account the cash cover provided; and



  

	 	(ii)	 each Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw interest accrued on the cash cover to pay the fees described in

required by law. 


  

	 	(b)	 The Obligors’ Agent 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 or Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender or Issuing Bank. If the

	 	(d)	 A payment shall not be increased under Clause 18.2(c) by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Tax imposed by

	 	(B)	 the payment could have been made to the Lender without any Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a Tax

to an assignment request by an Obligor) or (ii) such Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to Clause 18.2, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lenders immediately before
such Lender’s assignor became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office; or

deliver to each US Tax Obligor executed copies of IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY or IRS Form W-8EXP, as applicable. If any withholding
certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the Agent by a Lender pursuant to this Clause 18.2(f) is or becomes materially inaccurate, obsolete 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 Obligors’ Agent.

	 	(B)	 a Treaty Lender which is not an Original Lender and that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport

	 	(B)	 HM Revenue & Customs has not given the Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a
Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the Borrower DTTP Filing, 


 and in each case, the English Borrower has
notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and the Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that Borrower to obtain authorisation to make that payment
without a Tax Deduction. 
  

	 	(k)	 If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with
Clause 18.2(i)(ii), no Obligor shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment(s) or its participation in any Utilisation unless

	 	(B)	 under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party’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

	 	(ii)	 to the extent a loss, liability or cost: 



 

	 	(A)	 is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 18.2; or 



 

	 	(B)	 would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 18.2 but was not so compensated solely
because one of the exclusions in Clause 18.2(d) applied; or 


  

	 	(C)	 relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party. 



 

	 	(c)	 A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under Clause 18.3(a) shall promptly notify the Agent of

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



the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance 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. 
  

	18.5	 Lender status confirmation 



Each Lender which is not an Original Lender shall indicate, in the documentation which it executes on becoming a Lender, and for the benefit of

	 	(ii)	 a Norwegian Qualifying Lender (other than a Norwegian Treaty Lender); or 



 

	 	(iii)	 a Norwegian Treaty Lender. 



If such a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 18.5 then that Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this
Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Obligors’ Agent). For the avoidance of
doubt, the documentation which a Lender executes on becoming a Lender shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause 18.5.

	18.7	 VAT 


  

	 	(a)	 All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance 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 Clause 18.7(b), if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any
Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such Finance 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 Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party). 



 

	 	(b)	 If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to
any other Finance 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 Clause 18.7(b)(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 Finance Party for any cost or expense,
that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance 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 18.7 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a
group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making a supply or, as appropriate, receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article
11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC as implemented by the relevant state; or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union). 



 

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

	 	(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 Clause 18.8(a)(i) 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)	 Clause 18.8(a) shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and Clause 18.8(a)(ii) 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 



 

	 	(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 Clause 18.8(a)(i) or 18.8(a)(ii) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where Clause 18.8(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)	 If a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor or the Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA or any
other applicable law or regulation require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of: 



  
 107 













	 	(i)	 where an Original Borrower is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Lender is an Original Lender, the date of this
Agreement; 


  

	 	(ii)	 where a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor on a date on which any other Lender becomes a Party as a Lender, that
date;

	 	(iv)	 where a Borrower is not a US Tax Obligor, the date of a request from the Agent,    



 supply to the Agent: 
  

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


  

	 	(B)	 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 Clause 18.8(e) to the relevant Borrower. 


  

	 	(g)	 If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the Agent
by a Lender pursuant to Clause 18.8(e) is or becomes materially inaccurate, obsolete 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 Clause 18.8(e) or Clause 18.8(g) without further verification. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with Clause 18.8(e), Clause 18.8(f) or Clause 18.8(g).



  

	18.9	 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 Obligors’ Agent and the Agent and the Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

Borrower or the Obligors’ Agent, 


 provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available or
apply to any costs, losses or liabilities to the extent that such costs, losses or liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from
(i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (b) a material breach by such Indemnitee (or in the case of an Indemnitee which is not a Finance Party, its related Finance Party) of its obligations under the Finance
Documents or (c) a dispute solely between any of the Indemnitees not arising out of any act or omission on the part of an Obligor or any of their Affiliates (other than claims brought against an Indemnified Party in its capacity as an Arranger,

provided that, otherwise than in relation to any Receiver or Delegate under Clause 20.4(a)(iv), such indemnity shall not be available or apply
to costs, losses or liabilities to the extent that such costs, losses or liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (a) the

	 	(a)	 Each Finance Party shall, in consultation with the Obligors’ Agent, take all reasonable steps to mitigate

of the Issuing Bank, Clause 11.2 (Illegality in relation to Issuing Bank)), Clause 18 (Tax gross up and indemnities) or Clause 19 (Increased costs) including (but not limited to) transferring its rights and obligations under the

 SECTION 7 

GUARANTEE 
  

	23.	 GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY  



 

	23.1	 Guarantee and indemnity  



Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally: 
  


	 	(a)	 guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Obligor of all that Obligor’s
obligations under the Finance Documents (including, without limitation): 


  

	 	(i)	 obligations of that Obligor which, but for the automatic stay under s362(a) of the US Bankruptcy Code, would
become due; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 any interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding
in respect of that Obligor at the rate provided for in this Agreement, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any such proceeding; 


  

	 	(b)	 undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Obligor does not pay any amount when due under or in
connection with any Finance Document, that Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and 


  

	 	(c)	 agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or
illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of an Obligor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability,
invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 23 if
the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee. 


  

	23.2	 Continuing Guarantee 



This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents,
regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part. 
  

	23.3	 Reinstatement 



If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or
otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability
of each Guarantor under this Clause 23 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred. 

  
 116 













	23.4	 Waiver of defences 



The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 23 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 23,
would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 23 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including: 
  

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



  

	 	(b)	 the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any
creditor of any member of the Group; 


  

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


  

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


  

	 	(e)	 any amendment, novation, supplement, extension restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more
onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security including any change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or
security; 


  

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


  

	 	(g)	 any insolvency or similar proceedings. 



Each Guarantor agrees that any stay (including under the US Bankruptcy Code), injunction or other prohibition that prevents the Finance Parties
from declaring all outstanding amounts due and payable as to any Obligor other than the Guarantor shall not prevent the Finance Parties from declaring all amounts outstanding due and payable by the Guarantor (whether or not due and payable by any
such other other Obligor) for purposes of this Clause 23 as and to the extent otherwise provided for in this Agreement. 
  

	23.5	 Guarantor intent 



Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 23.4, each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from
time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any
of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities
available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing. 

  
 117 













	23.6	 Immediate recourse 



Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or
enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 23. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary. 

 

	23.7	 Appropriations 



Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid
in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may: 
  

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


  

	 	(b)	 hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any
Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 23. 


  

	23.8	 Deferral of Guarantors’ rights 



Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid
in full and unless the Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising,
under this Clause 23: 
  

	 	(a)	 to be indemnified by an Obligor; 



 

	 	(b)	 to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance
Documents; 


  

	 	(c)	 to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the
Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party; 



 

	 	(d)	 to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any
obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 23.1; 


  

	 	(e)	 to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or



  

	 	(f)	 to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party. 



  
 118 












 If a Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it
shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for
the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 36 (Payment mechanics). 

 

	23.9	 Contribution 


  


	 	(a)	 At any time a payment is made pursuant to this Clause 23 by a US Obligor, the right of contribution of each US
Guarantor against each other US Guarantor shall, subject to the other terms of this Clause 23, be determined as set out in Clause 23.9(b) with the right of contribution of each US Guarantor to be revised and restated each time a payment (a
“Relevant Payment”) is made in relation to the obligations guaranteed under the Finance Documents provided, however, that no such right of contribution shall exist against any direct or indirect
Non-US Subsidiary of such US Guarantor. 


  

	 	(b)	 If a Relevant Payment is made resulting in the aggregate payments made by such US Guarantor in respect of its
guarantee obligations under the Finance Documents to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such US Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all US Guarantors in respect of the
obligations under the Finance Documents to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such US Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other US Guarantor (other
than any direct or indirect Non-US Subsidiary of such US Guarantor) who has made payments in respect of the obligations under the Finance Documents to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an
aggregate amount less than such other US Guarantor’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all US Guarantors in respect of the obligations under the Finance Documents (the
aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to: 


  

	 	(i)	 a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such US Guarantor and the denominator of
which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all US Guarantors, 


 multiplied by: 

 

	 	(ii)	 the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other US Guarantor (other than any direct or indirect Non-US Subsidiary of a US Guarantor). 


  

	 	(c)	 A US Guarantor’s right of contribution under Clause 23.9(b) shall arise at the time of each computation,
subject to adjustment to the time of each computation, provided that no US Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until the obligations under the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full in cash and the commitments hereunder
(and thereunder) terminated or cancelled, it being expressly recognised and agreed by all Parties that any US Guarantor’s right of contribution arising pursuant to this Clause 23 against any other US Guarantor shall be expressly junior and
subordinate to such other US Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the obligations under the Finance Documents and any other obligations owing under this Clause 23. 



  
 119 













	 	(d)	 As used in this Clause 23.9: 



“Adjusted Net Worth” of each US Guarantor (other than any direct or indirect Non-US
Subsidiary of a US Guarantor) shall mean the greater of (i) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such US Guarantor and (ii) zero; 

“Contribution Percentage” of a US Guarantor shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (i) the Adjusted Net Worth
(as defined above) of such US Guarantor by (ii) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all US Guarantors (other than any direct or indirect Non-US Subsidiary of a US Guarantor); and 

“Net Worth” of each US Guarantor (other than any direct or indirect Non-US Subsidiary
of a US Guarantor) shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such US Guarantor’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving
effect to any obligations under the Finance Documents arising under this Clause 23 on such date 
  

	 	(e)	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any US Guarantor that is released from this Clause 23
shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Clause 23.9, and, at the time of any such release, if the released US Guarantor had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, it shall be deemed reduced
to USD 0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining US Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining US Guarantors. All
Parties recognise and agree that, except for any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Clause 23, each US Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the obligations under the Finance Documents shall have no right of contribution or
subrogation against any other US Guarantor in respect of such payment until all of the obligations under the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, in cash. Each of the US Guarantors recognises and acknowledges that the rights to
contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favour of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each US Guarantor has the right to waive its contribution right against any US Guarantor to the extent that giving
effect to such waiver such US Guarantor would remain solvent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Clause 23, this Clause 23, will not be construed to limit the claim of any Finance Party under this Clause 23, the only such limitation
being set forth in Clause 23. 


  

	23.10	 Release of Guarantors’ right of contribution 



If any Guarantor (a “Retiring Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for
the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor: 

  
 120 













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



 

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


  

	23.11	 Additional security 



This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance
Party. 
  

	23.12	 Norwegian Guarantee Limitations 



 

	 	(a)	 The obligations of a Guarantor incorporated in Norway (each a “Norwegian Guarantor”) under
this guarantee will be limited by such mandatory provisions of law applicable to that Norwegian Guarantor limiting the legal capacity or ability of a Norwegian Guarantor to grant or honour a guarantee as provided for under this Clause 23 including,
but not limited to, the provisions of Sections 8-7 to 8-10 of the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act of 13 June 1997 No. 44 (as from time to
time amended). Consequently, the obligations of each Norwegian Guarantor under this Clause 23 shall only apply to the extent not so limited, it being understood, however, by each Norwegian Guarantor that if a limitation is no longer applicable as a
mandatory provision under Norwegian law, such limitations will no longer apply to the obligations of such Norwegian Obligor, and each Norwegian Obligor shall in such circumstances take any such actions and execute such additional documents as the
Agent may reasonably request to effectuate that such limitation is no longer applicable. 


  

	 	(b)	 The limitations set out in Clause 23.12(a) shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Transaction Security provided by
any Norwegian Guarantor under the Finance Documents and to any guarantee, undertaking, obligation, indemnity and payment, including but not limited to distributions, cash-sweeps, credits, loans and set-offs
(including under Clause 37 (Set-off)), pursuant to or permitted by the Finance Documents in relation to a Norwegian Guarantor. 



 

	 	(c)	 To the extent permitted by applicable law, if a payment under this guarantee or the honouring of any
Transaction Security by a Norwegian Guarantor has been made in contravention of the limitations contained in this Clause 23.12, the Finance Parties shall not be liable for any damages in relation thereto, and the maximum amount repayable by the
Finance Parties as a consequence of such contravention shall be the amount received from that Norwegian Guarantor. 



  
 121 













	23.13	 US Guarantee Limitations 



 

	 	(a)	 Each US Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive valuable direct or indirect benefits as a result of the
transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents (including utilisations thereunder). 


  

	 	(b)	 Each US Guarantor represents, warrants and hereby agrees that: 



 

	 	(i)	 it has not incurred and does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay as they mature; and



  

	 	(ii)	 it has not made a transfer or incurred any obligation under any Finance Document with the intent to hinder,
delay or defraud any of its present or future creditors. 


  

	 	(c)	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Finance Document: 



 

	 	(i)	 each Finance Party agrees that the maximum liability of each US Guarantor under this Clause 23 shall in no
event exceed an amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such US Guarantor’s obligations under the other Finance Documents subject to avoidance under the US Bankruptcy Code or to being set aside, avoided or annulled under any
US Debtor Relief Laws, in each case after giving effect to: 


  

	 	(A)	 all other liabilities of such US Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such US Debtor
Relief Laws, in respect of intercompany indebtedness to any Borrower to the extent that such Financial Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such US Guarantor under the Finance Documents; and



  

	 	(B)	 the value as assets of the US Guarantor (as determined under the applicable provisions of such US Debtor Relief
Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights held by the US Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any other agreement providing for an equitable allocation among the US Guarantor
and the Borrowers and other Guarantors of obligations arising under the Finance Documents or other guarantees of such obligations by such parties; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 each party agrees that, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a US Guarantor under
this Clause 23, each such US Guarantor shall be entitled to be indemnified from each other US Guarantor in an amount equal to such payment, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the contributing US
Guarantor and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the US Guarantors. 



  
 122

	29.	 CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

Lender”) may: 
  

	 	(a)	 assign any of its rights; or 



 

	 	(b)	 transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations, 



under any Finance Document to another bank or financial institution or to 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 (but not a natural person) provided such transferee is licensed to carry out lending activity in each relevant jurisdiction (to the extent
such license is required) and legally able to lend to the Borrowers (the “New Lender”). 
  

	29.2	 Conditions of assignment or transfer 



 

	 	(a)	 An Existing Lender may not make an assignment or transfer in accordance with Clause 29.1 without the prior
written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrowers, Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank and Agent provided that the prior written consent of the Borrowers shall not be required in the event that the assignment or transfer is:



  

	 	(i)	 to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender which is not a
Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; 


  

	 	(ii)	 to a fund which is a Related Fund of that Existing Lender which is not a
Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; or 


  

	 	(iii)	 made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing; 



provided that the New Lender is not a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender, each Borrower is deemed to have given
their consent to such assignment or transfer if that Borrower fails to provide its express written refusal within ten Business Days following receipt of a written request with respect to such to such assignment or transfer from the Agent or the
applicable Existing Lender. 
  

	 	(b)	 Other than in respect of a transfer to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender and unless otherwise agreed
by the Borrowers and the Agent, an assignment or transfer of part of a Lender’s participation must be in a minimum amount of USD 5,000,000 or, if less, all of its US/UK Tranche Commitments and/or Norwegian Tranche Commitments (as applicable)
and provided that that the amount of that Lender’s remaining participation (when aggregated with its Affiliates’ participation) in respect of US/UK Tranche Commitments and/or Norwegian Tranche Commitments (as applicable) is in a minimum
amount of USD 1,000,000 or nil. 



  
 159 













	 	(c)	 An assignment will only be effective on: 



 

	 	(i)	 receipt by the Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New
Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties and the other Secured Parties as it would have been under if it had been an Original Lender; and



  

	 	(ii)	 the performance by the Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks
under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender. 



 

	 	(d)	 A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 29.5 is complied with.



  

	 	(e)	 If: 


  

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


  

	 	(ii)	 as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would
be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 19 (Increased costs), 



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

	 	(f)	 Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the
avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the
transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender. 



 

	29.3	 Assignment or transfer fee 



Unless the Agent otherwise agrees and excluding an assignment or transfer (i) to an Affiliate of an Existing Lender or (ii) made in
connection with primary syndication of the Facility, the New Lender or (if agreed) the transferring Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of USD 3,500. 

  
 160

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


  

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


  

	 	(ii)	 the financial condition of any Obligor; 



 

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


  

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


 and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded. 

 

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



  

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


  

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


  

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



 

	 	(i)	 accept a re-transfer or
re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 29; or 


  


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


  

	29.5	 Procedure for transfer 



 

	 	(a)	 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 a transfer is effected in accordance with Clause 29.5(c) when
the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to Clause 29.5(b), as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed
Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate. 



  
 161 













	 	(b)	 The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and
the New 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 such New Lender. 



 

	 	(c)	 Subject to Clause 29.9, on the Transfer Date: 



 

	 	(i)	 to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and
obligations under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of the
Transaction Security and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents and in respect of the Transaction Security shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”); 



 

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



  

	 	(iii)	 the Agent, the Arrangers, the Security Agent, the New Lender, the other Lenders and the Issuing Bank shall
acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves and in respect of the Transaction Security as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights, and/or obligations acquired or
assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Arrangers, the Security Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and



  

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



 

	29.6	 Procedure for assignment 



 

	 	(a)	 Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 an assignment may be effected in accordance with Clause
29.6(c) when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to Clause 29.6(b), as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly
completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement. 



 

	 	(b)	 The Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and
the New 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 assignment to such New Lender. 



  
 162 













	 	(c)	 Subject to Clause 29.9, on the Transfer Date: 



 

	 	(i)	 the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender its rights under the Finance Documents and in
respect of the Transaction Security expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement; 


  

	 	(ii)	 the Existing Lender will be released from the obligations (the “Relevant Obligations”)
expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement (and any corresponding obligations by which it is bound in respect of the Transaction Security); and 



 

	 	(iii)	 the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and will be bound by obligations equivalent
to the Relevant Obligations. 


  

	 	(d)	 Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 29.6 to assign their rights under the
Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or unless in accordance with Clause 29.5, to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent
obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 29.2. 


  

	29.7	 Copy of Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation to Obligors’
Agent 


 The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, an Assignment
Agreement or an Increase Confirmation, send to the Obligors’ Agent a copy of that Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation. 
  

	29.8	 Security over Lenders’ rights 



In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 29, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any
Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including: 

 

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



  

	 	(b)	 any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of
obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities, 


 except that no
such charge, assignment or Security shall: 
  

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



  
 163 













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


  

	29.9	 Pro rata interest settlement 



 

	 	(a)	 If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata
basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 29.5 or any assignment pursuant to Clause 29.6 the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the
last day of an Interest Period): 


  

	 	(i)	 any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the
lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (“Accrued Amounts”) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on
the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and 



 

	 	(ii)	 the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so
that, for the avoidance of doubt: 


  

	 	(A)	 when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the Existing
Lender; and 


  

	 	(B)	 the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of
this Clause 29.9, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts. 


  

	 	(b)	 In this Clause 29.9 references to “Interest Period” shall be construed to include a reference
to any other period for accrual of fees. 


  

	 	(c)	 An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 29.9 but which does
not have a Revolving Facility Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other
vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents. 



  
 164 













	29.10	 Participant register 



In the event that any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers an interest or enters into a
sub-participation in relation to its participation in the Loans it shall maintain a “participant register”, which the relevant Lender shall have no obligation to disclose except to the extent
necessary to establish that an obligation is in registered form for US federal income tax purposes and on which it enters the name and address of each assignee, transferee or sub-participant and the principal
amounts (and stated interest) of each assignee’s, transferee’s or sub-participant’s interest or sub-participation in such Loan. Any such sub-participation shall not affect the rights or obligations of the relevant Lender which shall remain the lender of record for the relevant participation in the Loans nor shall it entitle any such sub-participant to any rights under the Finance Documents or oblige any Obligor to pay any amount to such Lender or sub-participant which it would not have been obliged to pay
in the absence of such sub-participation. The entries in the such participant register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender that assigns or otherwise transfers a sub-participation shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the participant register as the owner of such sub-participation for all purposes of this Agreement
notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

	 	(ii)	 in its capacity as Lender, unless the Agent otherwise agrees, it shall not be entitled to receive any report or
other document prepared at the behest of, or on the instructions of, the Agent or one or more of the Lenders. 


  

	30.3	 Member of the Group’s notification to other Lenders of Debt Purchase Transactions

in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents; and

or the United States of America or another jurisdiction approved by the Obligor’s Agent as successor by giving notice to the Lenders and the Obligors’ Agent. 



 

	 	(b)	 Alternatively the Agent may resign by giving 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Obligors’ Agent,

Obligor’s Agent. 


  

	 	(c)	 If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 32.12(b) within 20 days

approved by the Obligor’s Agent. 


  

	 	(d)	 If the Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate for
it to remain as agent and the Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Agent under Clause 32.12(c), the Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Agent to become a party
to this Agreement as Agent) agree with the proposed successor Agent amendments to this Clause 32 and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the Agent consistent with then current market practice for the
appointment and protection of corporate trustees together with any reasonable amendments to the agency fee payable under this Agreement which are consistent with the successor Agent’s normal fee rates and those amendments will bind the Parties.



  

	 	(e)	 The retiring Agent shall make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such
assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents. The Parent shall, within three Business Days of demand, reimburse the retiring Agent for the amount of all

shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.




  
 177 













	 	(h)	 The Agent shall resign in accordance with Clause 32.12(b) (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable
endeavours to appoint a successor Agent pursuant to Clause 32.12(c)) if on or after the date which is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Agent under the Finance Documents, either:



  

	 	(i)	 the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 18.8 (FATCA information) and a Lender reasonably
believes that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; 


  

	 	(ii)	 the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 18.8 (FATCA information) indicates that the
Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or 


  

	 	(iii)	 the Agent notifies the Obligors’ Agent and the Lenders that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to
be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; 


 and (in each case) a Lender reasonably believes that
a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and that Lender, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign. 

 

	32.13	 Replacement of the Agent 



 

	 	(a)	 After consultation with the Obligors’ Agent, the Majority Lenders may, by giving 30 days’ notice to

	 	(b)	 The retiring Agent shall (at its own cost if it is an Impaired Agent and otherwise at the expense of the
Lenders) make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.



  

	 	(c)	 The appointment of the successor Agent shall take effect on the date specified in the notice from the Majority
Lenders to the retiring Agent. As from this date, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under Clause 32.13(b)) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of
Clause 20.3 (Indemnity to the Agent) and this Clause 32 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). 



 

	 	(d)	 Any successor Agent and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves
as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

(Electronic communication)) electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the transmission of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to
be made) and be treated as a notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address (or such other information), department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 38.3 (Addresses) and Clause 38.7(a)(ii)

	 	(i)	 the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to
the Agent; 


  

	 	(ii)	 the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance
Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 36 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to
the receipt, recovery or distribution; and 


  

	 	(iii)	 the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an
amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 36.6

Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor. 
  

	35.4	 Reversal of redistribution 



If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering
Finance Party, then: 
  

	 	(a)	 each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of that
Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which
that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay) (the “Redistributed Amount”); and 


  

	 	(b)	 as between the relevant Obligor and each relevant Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to the relevant
Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

	 	(ii)	 the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not
do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

	36.	 PAYMENT MECHANICS 



 

	36.1	 Payments to the Agent 



 

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


  

	 	(b)	 Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in
relation to euro, in a principal financial centre in such Participating Member State or London, as specified by the Agent) and with such bank as the Agent, in each case, specifies. 



 

	36.2	 Distributions by the Agent 



Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 36.3 and Clause 36.4 be made
available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the
Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank specified by that Party in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State
or London, as specified by that Party). 
  

	36.3	 Distributions to an Obligor 



The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 37 (Set-off)) apply
any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so
applied. 
  

	36.4	 Clawback and pre-funding 



 

	 	(a)	 Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged

	 	(b)	 Unless Clause 36.4(c) applies, if the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that
the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the
date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds. 



  
 194 













	 	(c)	 If the Agent is willing to make available amounts for the account of a Borrower before receiving funds from the
Lenders then if and to the extent that the Agent does so but it proves to be the case that it does not then receive funds from a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to a Borrower: 



 

	 	(i)	 the Borrower to whom that sum was made available shall promptly following demand refund it to the Agent; and



  

	 	(ii)	 the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if that Lender fails to do so, the Borrower
to whom that sum was made available, shall on demand (or in the case of the Borrower promptly following demand) pay to the Agent the amount (as certified by the Agent) which will indemnify the Agent against any funding cost incurred by it as a
result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from that Lender.

	 	(a)	 If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a

	 	(i)	 pay that amount direct to the required recipient(s); or 



 

	 	(ii)	 if in its absolute discretion it considers that it is not reasonably practicable to pay that amount direct to
the required recipient(s), pay that amount or the relevant part of that amount to an interest-bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the definition of “Acceptable Bank” and in
relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Lender making the payment (the “Paying Party”) and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties
beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents (the “Recipient Party” or “Recipient Parties”). 



In each case such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents. 

 

	 	(b)	 All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of the
Recipient Party or the Recipient Parties pro rata to their respective entitlements. 


  

	 	(c)	 A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 36.5 shall be discharged of the relevant
payment obligation under the Finance Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the trust account. 


  

	 	(d)	 Promptly upon the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 32.13(Replacement of the
Agent), each Paying Party shall (other than to the extent that that Party has given an instruction pursuant to Clause 36.5(e)) give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with
any accrued interest) to the successor Agent for distribution to the relevant Recipient Party or Recipient Parties in accordance with Clause 36.2. 



  
 195 













	 	(e)	 A Paying Party shall, promptly upon request by a Recipient Party and to the extent: 



 

	 	(i)	 that it has not given an instruction pursuant to Clause 36.5(d); and 



 

	 	(ii)	 that it has been provided with the necessary information by that Recipient Party, 



give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the relevant amount (together with any accrued
interest) to that Recipient Party. 
  

	36.6	 Partial payments 



 

	 	(a)	 If the Agent receives a payment for application against amounts due in respect of any Finance Documents that is
insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under those Finance Documents, the Agent shall (subject to Clause 36.6(d)) apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the
following order: 


  

	 	(i)	 first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid amount owing to the Agent, the Issuing Bank (other than any
amount under Clause 7.2 (Claims under a Letter of Credit) or, to the extent relating to the reimbursement of a claim (as defined in Clause 7 (Letters of Credit)), Clause 7.3 (Indemnities)) or the Security Agent under the Finance

of process, the Obligors’ Agent (on behalf of all the Obligors) must immediately (and in any event within 10 days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Agent. Failing this, the Agent may appoint another

LMA FORM OF CONFIDENTIALITY UNDERTAKING 

THIS MASTER CONFIDENTIALITY UNDERTAKING is dated [•] and made between: 
  

	(1)	 [•]; and 


  

	(2)	 [•]. 



Either party (in this capacity the “Purchaser”) may from time to time consider acquiring an interest from the other party (in this capacity
the “Seller”) in certain Agreements which, subject to the Agreements, may be by way of novation, assignment, the entering into, whether directly or indirectly, of a sub-participation or any
other transaction under which payments are to be made or may be made by reference to one or more relevant Finance Documents and/or one or more relevant Obligors or by way of investing in or otherwise financing, directly or indirectly, any such
novation, assignment, sub-participation or other transaction (each an “Acquisition”). In consideration of the Seller agreeing to make available to the Purchaser certain information in relation
to each Acquisition it is agreed as follows: 
  

	1.	 Confidentiality Undertaking  



The Purchaser undertakes in relation to each Acquisition made or which may be made by it (a) to keep all Confidential Information which
the Seller supplies to the Purchaser in relation to that Acquisition confidential and not to disclose it to anyone, save to the extent permitted by paragraph 2 below and to ensure that all Confidential Information which the Seller supplies to the
Purchaser in relation to that Acquisition is protected with security measures and a degree of care that would apply to the Purchaser’s own confidential information and (b) until that Acquisition is completed, to use the Confidential
Information which the Seller supplies to the Purchaser in relation to that Acquisition only for the Permitted Purpose. 
  

	2.	 Permitted Disclosure  



The Purchaser may disclose in relation to each Acquisition made or which may be made by it: 

 

	 	(a)	 to any of its Affiliates and any of its or their officers, directors, employees, professional advisers and
auditors such Confidential Information as the Purchaser shall consider appropriate if any person to whom such Confidential Information is to be given pursuant to this paragraph 2 (a) is informed in writing of its confidential nature and that some or
all of such Confidential Information may be price-sensitive information except that there shall be no such requirement to so inform if the recipient is subject to professional obligations to maintain the confidentiality of the information or is
otherwise bound by requirements of confidentiality in relation to such Confidential Information; 



  
 243 













	 	(b)	 subject to the requirements of the relevant Agreement, to any person: 



 

	 	(i)	 to (or through) whom the Purchaser assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of
its rights and/or obligations which it may acquire under that Agreement such Confidential Information which the Seller supplies to the Purchaser in relation to that Acquisition as the Purchaser shall consider appropriate if the person to whom such
Confidential Information is to be given pursuant to this sub-paragraph (i) of paragraph 2(b) has delivered a letter to the Purchaser in equivalent form to this undertaking; 



 

	 	(ii)	 with (or through) whom the Purchaser enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made or may be made by reference to that Agreement or any relevant Obligor such Confidential Information which the Seller
supplies to the Purchaser in relation to that Acquisition as the Purchaser shall consider appropriate if the person to whom such Confidential Information is to be given pursuant to this sub-paragraph
(ii) of paragraph 2(b) has delivered a letter to the Purchaser in equivalent form to this undertaking; 


  

	 	(iii)	 to whom information is required or requested to be disclosed by any governmental, banking, taxation or other
regulatory authority or similar body, the rules of any relevant stock exchange or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation such Confidential Information which the Seller supplies to the Purchaser in relation to that Acquisition as the Purchaser
shall consider appropriate; and 


  

	 	(c)	 notwithstanding paragraphs 2(a) and 2(b) above, Confidential Information to such persons to whom, and on the
same terms as, a Finance Party is permitted to disclose such Confidential Information under the Agreement to which that Acquisition relates, as if such permissions were set out in full in this undertaking for the purposes of that Acquisition and as
if references in those permissions to Finance Party were references to the Purchaser for the purposes of that Acquisition. 


  

	3.	 Notification of Disclosure  



The Purchaser agrees in relation to each Acquisition made or which may be made by it (to the extent permitted by law and regulation) to inform
the Seller: 
  

	 	(a)	 of the circumstances of any disclosure of Confidential Information made pursuant to sub-paragraph (iii) of paragraph 2(b) above except where such disclosure is made to any of the persons referred to in that paragraph during the ordinary course of its supervisory or regulatory function; and



  

	 	(b)	 upon becoming aware that Confidential Information relating to that Acquisition has been disclosed in breach of
this undertaking. 


  

	4.	 Return of Copies 



If the Purchaser does not enter into an Acquisition and the Seller so requests in writing, the Purchaser shall return or destroy all
Confidential Information supplied to the Purchaser by the Seller in relation to that Acquisition and destroy or permanently erase (to the extent technically practicable) all copies of such Confidential Information made by the Purchaser and use its
reasonable endeavours to ensure that anyone to whom the 

  
 244 












 
Purchaser has supplied any such Confidential Information destroys or permanently erases (to the extent technically practicable) such Confidential Information and any copies made by them, in each
case save to the extent that the Purchaser or the recipients are required to retain any such Confidential Information by any applicable law, rule or regulation or by any competent judicial, governmental, supervisory or regulatory body or in
accordance with internal policy, or where the Confidential Information has been disclosed under sub-paragraph (iii) of paragraph 2(a) above. 

 

	5.	 Continuing Obligations 



The obligations in this undertaking are continuing and, in particular, shall survive and remain binding on the Purchaser in relation to each
Acquisition made or which may be made by it until (a) if the Purchaser becomes a party to the Agreement to which that Acquisition relates as a lender of record, the date on which the Purchaser becomes such a party to such Agreement; (b) if
the Purchaser enters into that Acquisition but it does not result in the Purchaser becoming a party to the Agreement to which that Acquisition relates as a lender of record, the date falling [twelve] months after the date on which all of the
Purchaser’s rights and obligations contained in the documentation entered into to implement that Acquisition have terminated; or (c) in any other case the date falling [twelve] months after the date of the Purchaser’s final receipt
(in whatever manner) of any Confidential Information in relation to that Acquisition. 
  

	6.	 No Representation; Consequences of Breach, etc  



The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, in relation to each Acquisition made or which may be made by it: 

 

	 	(a)	 neither the Seller, nor any member of the relevant Group nor any of the Seller’s or the relevant
Group’s respective officers, employees or advisers (each a “Relevant Person”) (i) make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to, or assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, reliability or completeness of
any of the Confidential Information supplied by the Seller to the Purchaser in relation to that Acquisition or any other information supplied by the Seller to the Purchaser in relation to that Acquisition or the assumptions on which it is based or
(ii) shall be under any obligation to update or correct any inaccuracy in the Confidential Information supplied by the Seller to the Purchaser in relation to that Acquisition or any other information supplied by the Seller to the Purchaser in
relation to that Acquisition or be otherwise liable to the Purchaser or any other person in respect of the Confidential Information supplied by the Seller to the Purchaser in relation to that Acquisition or any such information; and



  

	 	(b)	 the Seller or members of the relevant Group may be irreparably harmed by the breach of the terms of this
undertaking and damages may not be an adequate remedy; each Relevant Person may be granted an injunction or specific performance for any threatened or actual breach of the provisions of this undertaking by the Purchaser.
