	1.9.7	 	an attachment includes a beslag.  

  

	2	 	The facility 

  

	2.1	 	Amount 

  

	2.1.1	 	The Lenders, relying upon each of the representations and warranties in clause 9, agree to make available upon and subject to the terms of this Agreement a principal
sum up to the Facility Limit. 

  

	2.1.2	 	The obligation of each Lender under this Agreement shall be to contribute that proportion of each Advance which, as at the Drawdown Date of such Advance, its Commitment
bears to the Total Commitment. No Lender shall be obliged to contribute to any Advance any amount in excess of its Commitment. 

  

	2.2	 	Reduction of the Facility Limit 

  

	2.2.1	 	The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Facility Limit, the Principal Facility Limit, the Hull Facility Limit, the Construction Facility Limit, the Interest
Facility Limit and the Commitments have been calculated on the basis that the fixed interest rate under the Hedging Agreements will be not more than six per cent. (6%) per annum. 


 

	2.2.2	 	If that assumption proves to be incorrect, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall consult together to determine the consequences thereof. Unless the Facility Agent
and the Borrower agree otherwise during that consultation, the Facility Limit, the Principal Facility Limit, the Construction Facility Limit, the Hull Facility Limit and the Interest Facility Limit shall be recalculated as contemplated in clause
2.2.3. 

  

	2.2.3	 	The Facility Agent shall in consultation with the Borrower and on the basis of a revised cash flow model produced by the Facility Agent (such cash flow model shall use
the new fixed interest rate but shall otherwise be prepared on the same basis as the cash flow model used in the Information Memorandum) determine the revised amounts of the Facility Limit, the Principal Facility Limit, the Construction Facility
Limit, the Hull Facility Limit and the Interest Facility Limit (which shall in any event not exceed the Facility Limit, the Principal Facility Limit, the Construction Facility Limit, the Hull Facility Limit or, as the case may be, the Interest
Facility Limit as at the date of this Agreement) which may, for the avoidance of doubt, reduce if the fixed interest rate under either or both of the Hedging Agreements exceeds six per cent. (6%) per annum, and such revised amounts of the
Facility Limit, the Principal Facility Limit, the Construction Facility Limit, the Hull Facility Limit and the Interest Facility Limit will from the date of that determination be the Facility Limit, the Principal Facility Limit, the Construction
Facility Limit, the Hull Facility Limit and the Interest Facility Limit for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents. 


  
 37 










	2.2.4	 	Any reduction of the Facility Limit shall reduce the Total Commitments by the amount of such reduction and the Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced in the
proportion which that Lender’s Commitment bears to the Total Commitments. 

  

	2.3	 	Obligations several 

 The
obligations of each Lender under this Agreement are several; the failure of any Lender to perform such obligations shall not relieve any other Lender, the Arranger, the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or the Borrower of any of their respective
obligations or liabilities under this Agreement nor shall the Facility Agent, the Arranger or the Security Trustee be responsible for the obligations of any Lender (except for its own obligations, if any, as a Lender) nor shall any Lender be
responsible for the obligations of any other Lender under this Agreement. 
  

	2.4	 	Interests several 


Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement (but without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement relating to or requiring
action by the Majority Lenders) the interests of the Facility Agent, the Arranger, the Security Trustee and the Lenders are several and the amount due to the Facility Agent (for its own account), to the Arranger, to the Security Trustee and to each
Lender is a separate and independent debt. The Facility Agent, the Arranger, the Security Trustee and each Lender shall (subject to the express provisions of this Agreement (including clause 16.18) and the other Facility Documents) have the right to
protect and enforce their respective rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for the Facility Agent, the Arranger, the Security Trustee or any Lender (as the case may be) to be joined as an additional party in any
proceedings for this purpose, provided however that no Lender acting alone in its capacity as a Lender shall be entitled to declare an Event of Default.

	4	 	Advances 

  

	4.1	 	Drawdown Notices for Principal Advances, Swap Advances and the Intercompany Construction Interest Advance 


 

	4.1.1	 	When the Borrower wishes to draw down a Principal Advance, the Intercompany Construction Interest Advance or a Swap Advance and is entitled to do so under the terms of
this Agreement, it shall serve a Drawdown Notice on the Facility Agent not later than noon Central European time on the third Banking Day before the proposed Drawdown Date, or such lesser period as the Facility Agent (in consultation with the
Majority Lenders) may agree. The Drawdown Notice shall set out: 

  

	 	(a)	the Drawdown Date for that Principal Advance, Swap Advance or, as the case may be, Intercompany Construction Interest Advance; and 


  
 42 










	 	(b)	the amount of such Principal Advance, Swap Advance or, as the case may be, Intercompany Construction Interest Advance. 


 

	4.1.2	 	A Drawdown Notice shall be effective on actual receipt by the Facility Agent and, once given, shall, subject as provided in clause 5.6 (Market disruption,
non-availability), be irrevocable. 

  

	4.2	 	Interest Advances 

  

	4.2.1	 	On each Interest Payment Date and each Commitment Fee Date which falls before the Initial Charter Hire Date, the Lenders shall, subject to clause 3.2 and unless the
Facility Agent has issued a notice pursuant to clause 11.3, be deemed to advance to the Borrower a principal amount equal to the amount of (a) interest then due for payment on the Loan by the Borrower pursuant to clause 5.1 less the amount of
any Swap Receipts (if any) payable to the Borrower on the relevant Interest Payment Date and/or, as the case may be, (b) Commitment Fee then due for payment on the undrawn Total Commitments by the Borrower pursuant to clause 7.1.2.


  

	4.2.2	 	Each amount deemed so advanced pursuant to clause 4.2.1 shall be treated as having been made and applied in or towards payment of the interest or, as the case may be,
Commitment Fee in respect of which it is advanced and shall for all purposes of this Agreement be treated as an Interest Advance made by the Lenders and shall be capitalised so as to form part of the Loan and shall bear interest in accordance with
the other provisions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Drawdown Notice need be given by the Borrower in relation to an Interest Advance deemed to be made and applied pursuant to this clause 4.2. 


 

	4.2.3	 	The provisions of this clause 4.2 are without prejudice to the obligation of the Borrower to pay all amounts which are payable under this Agreement when due. If as a
consequence of any term of this Agreement an Interest Advance is not deemed to be advanced, or the amount of an Interest Advance deemed to be advanced is less than the full amount of interest on the Loan then due for payment pursuant to clause 5.1
or, as the case may be, the full amount of Commitment Fee on the undrawn Total Commitments then due for payment pursuant to clause 7.1.2, the Borrower shall be obliged to pay when due any such interest or, as the case may be, Commitment Fee to the
extent not satisfied by an Interest Advance. 

  

	4.2.4	 	The Facility Agent will notify the Borrower as soon as practicable, but in any case, provided that the Facility Agent has received notification from the Borrower of the
amount of any Swap Receipts payable to the Borrower under the Hedging Agreements on the Drawdown Date of the relevant Interest Advance: 

  

	 	(a)	no later than the Drawdown Date of that Interest Advance, if the aggregate of that Interest Advance and those Swap Receipts will not be sufficient to satisfy all
interest due on that Drawdown Date on the Loan; and 

  

	 	(b)	no later than the date falling two (2) Banking Days prior to the relevant Drawdown Date, if the aggregate of any Interest Advance and any Swap Advance which would
otherwise have been made on that Drawdown Date would have resulted in the Interest Facility Limit being exceeded. 

  

	4.3	 	Notification to Lenders 


Subject to the provisions of clause 3 (Conditions) the Facility Agent shall notify each Lender of its portion of the relevant Advance and
any Swap Receipts: 
  

	4.3.1	 	in respect of each Principal Advance, each Swap Advance and the Intercompany Construction Interest Advance, promptly after receipt of a Drawdown Notice complying with
the terms of this Agreement (and in any case not later than 11 a.m. Central European time on the third Banking Day before the proposed Drawdown Date, other than in circumstances where the Facility Agent and the Majority Lenders have agreed a lesser
notice period under clause 4.1, in which case notification shall be given as soon as practicable) and at the same time, provide a copy of the Project Expenditure Certificate which the Facility Agent has received from the Borrower on the date of such
Drawdown Notice; and 


  
 43 










	4.3.2	 	in respect of each Interest Advance deemed to be made pursuant to clause 4.2 and/or any Swap Receipts, on the third Banking Day before the applicable Interest Payment
Date or, as the case may be, Commitment Fee Date other than in circumstances where the Facility Agent and the Majority Lenders have agreed a lesser notice period, in which case notification shall be given as soon as practicable.


  

	4.4	 	Availability 

 Subject to
the provisions of clause 3 (Conditions) and following receipt of notification in accordance with clause 4.3 above: 
  

	4.4.1	 	in respect of each Principal Advance, each Swap Advance and the Intercompany Construction Interest Advance, each of the Lenders shall on the Drawdown Date for each such
Advance make available to the Facility Agent its portion of the relevant Advance in accordance with clause 8.2 (Payments by the Lenders); and 

  

	4.4.2	 	in respect of each Interest Advance, each of the Lenders shall on the applicable Interest Payment Date or, as the case may be, Commitment Fee Date, be deemed to make
available to the Facility Agent its portion of the relevant Interest Advance for application by the Facility Agent in accordance with clause 4.2 above. 

  

	4.5	 	Termination of Commitments 

 Any part of the Commitments undrawn at the end of the Availability Period shall thereupon be automatically reduced to zero. 
  


	4.6	 	Application of proceeds 


Without prejudice to the Borrower’s obligations under clause 10.2.3 (Use of proceeds), none of the Beneficiaries shall have any
responsibility for the application by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Advance and, in the case of the Interest Advances deemed to be made pursuant to clause 4.2 above, these shall be treated as being applied by the Facility Agent in accordance
with clause 4.2.2. 
  

	5	 	Interest and Interest Periods; alternative interest rates 

  

	5.1	 	Normal interest rate 


The Borrower shall pay interest on each Advance or, as the case may be, the Loan in respect of each Interest Period relating thereto on
the relevant Interest Payment Date at the rate per annum determined by the Facility Agent to be the aggregate of (a) the applicable Margin, (b) LIBOR for such Interest Period and (c) the applicable Mandatory Cost, if any. The net
amount of interest due in respect of the Loan on any Interest Payment Date falling before the Initial Charter Hire Date (after deducting therefrom the amount (if any) of any Swap Receipts payable to the Borrower under the Hedging Agreements) shall,
subject to the provisions of clause 4.2, be capitalised and deemed to be paid by virtue of the Interest Advances deemed to be made in respect of that interest pursuant to clause 4.2. Thereafter, the Borrower shall pay interest on the Loan in respect
of the Interest Period commencing on the last Interest Payment Date falling prior to the Initial Charter Hire Date and ending on the next following Quarter Date falling in a succeeding calendar month to the Initial Charter Hire Date and such
interest shall not be capitalised. 
  

	5.2	 	Determination of Interest Periods 

 Each Interest Period shall be of a duration of three (3) months (subject to clause 5.1 and the remaining provisions of this clause 5.2) or such other period as the Borrower shall agree with the
Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders acting reasonably) from time to time, so that: 
  

	5.2.1	 	the initial Interest Period in respect of the First Advance or, if an Interest Advance (in respect of Commitment Fee) is deemed to be made prior to the First Advance,
in respect of that Interest Advance, shall commence on the Drawdown Date for the First Advance or, as the case may be, Interest Advance and shall end on the next following Quarter Date and each subsequent Interest Period in respect of the First
Advance or, as the case may be, Interest Advance shall commence on the expiry of the previous Interest Period and end on the next following Quarter Date; 


  
 44 










	5.2.2	 	the initial Interest Period for any Subsequent Advance, any Swap Advance or the Intercompany Construction Interest Advance shall commence on the Drawdown Date for that
Advance and shall end on the last day of the then current Interest Period of the Loan and, on the last day of such Interest Period, that Advance shall be consolidated with the Loan and shall thereafter together constitute the Loan;


  

	5.2.3	 	the initial Interest Period in respect of any Subsequent Advance, any Swap Advance or the Intercompany Construction Interest Advance made during the Interest Period in
which the Initial Charter Hire Date falls shall commence on the Drawdown Date for that Advance and shall end on the next following Quarter Date which falls in a calendar month succeeding the calendar month in which the Initial Charter Hire Date
falls and, on the last day of such Interest Period, the First Advance, each Subsequent Advance, each Swap Advance and (if applicable) the Intercompany Construction Interest Advance made during any previous Interest Period shall be consolidated and
shall thereafter together constitute the Loan; 

  

	5.2.4	 	the first Interest Period for any Interest Advance shall commence on the date on which it is deemed to be advanced and shall end on the last day of the Interest Period
then current or, as the case may be, which then commences, and thereafter all Interest Periods for any Interest Advance shall be coterminous and any such Interest Advance and the Loan shall be treated as one Loan; 


 

	5.2.5	 	where the last day of an Interest Period would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Banking Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall fall instead on the next
following Banking Day or, as the case may be, the immediately preceding Banking Day in accordance with the provisions of clause 8.3; and 

  

	5.2.6	 	the final Interest Period shall not extend beyond the Final Maturity Date. 


 

	5.3	 	Interest for late payment 

  

	5.3.1	 	If the Borrower fails to pay any sum (including, without limitation, any sum payable pursuant to this clause 5.3) on its due date for payment under this Agreement or
any of the Facility Documents to which the Borrower is party, the Borrower shall pay interest on such sum on demand from the due date up to the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at a rate determined by the Facility Agent
pursuant to clause 5.3.2. The period beginning on such due date and ending on such date of payment shall be divided into successive periods of not more than three (3) months as selected by the Facility Agent (after consultation with the Lenders
so far as reasonably practicable in the circumstances) each of which (other than the first, which shall commence on such due date) shall commence on the last day of the preceding period. 


 

	5.3.2	 	The rate of interest applicable to each such period shall be the aggregate (as determined by the Facility Agent) of (a) two per cent. (2.00%) per annum
(b) the applicable Margin (c) LIBOR and (d) the applicable Mandatory Cost, if any, unless such unpaid sum is an amount of principal which shall have become due and payable by reason of a declaration by the Facility Agent under clause
11.3 (Acceleration) or a prepayment obligation pursuant to clauses 6.2 (Voluntary Prepayment), 6.3 (Additional Voluntary Prepayment), 6.4 (Mandatory Prepayment) or 13.1 (Unlawfulness), prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date relating
thereto, in which case the first such period selected by the Facility Agent shall end on such Interest Payment Date and interest shall be payable on such unpaid sum during such period at a rate of two per cent. (2.00%) above the rate applicable
thereto immediately before it shall have become so due and payable. 


  
 45 










	5.3.3	 	Interest under this clause 5.3 shall be due and payable on the last day of each period determined by the Facility Agent pursuant to this clause 5.3 or, if earlier, on
the date on which the sum in respect of which such interest is accruing shall actually be paid. If, for the reasons specified in clause 5.6.1(a) or 5.6.1(b), the Facility Agent is unable to determine a rate of LIBOR in accordance with the definition
thereof in clause 1.2 and the foregoing provisions of this clause 5.3, each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the cost of funds to such Lender (determined in accordance with the following provisions of this clause but excluding the
Margin) and interest on any sum not paid on its due date for payment shall be calculated for each Lender at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be two per cent. (2.00%) per annum above the aggregate of the applicable Margin and the cost
to such Lender of raising funds through its treasury operations at that time through any sources of funds available to such Lender at that time. 

  

	5.4	 	Notification of Interest Periods and interest rate 

 The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders promptly of the duration of each Interest Period or other period for the calculation of interest (or, as the case may be, default interest) and
of each rate of interest determined by it under this clause 5. 
  

	5.5	 	Reference Bank quotations 


If any Reference Bank is unable or otherwise fails to furnish a quotation for the purpose of calculating LIBOR (where such a quotation is
required having regard to paragraph (b) of the definition of “LIBOR” in clause 1.2), the interest rate for the relevant Interest Period shall be determined, subject to clause 5.6, on the basis of the quotations furnished by the
remaining Reference Banks in accordance with the procedure set out in paragraph (b) of the definition of “LIBOR” in clause 1.2. 
  

	5.6	 	Market disruption; non-availability 

  

	5.6.1	 	If and whenever, at any time prior to the commencement of any Interest Period: 


 

	 	(a)	(at a time when Reference Bank quotations are required having regard to the definition of “LIBOR” in clause 1.2) the Facility Agent shall have determined,
after consultation with the Reference Banks (which determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive), that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR during such Interest Period in accordance with any of the
methods of determining LIBOR set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) of the definition of “LIBOR”; or 

  

	 	(b)	none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies the Facility Agent with a quotation for the purpose of calculating LIBOR (where such a quotation is required having
regard to paragraph (b) of the definition of “LIBOR” in clause 1.2); or 

  

	 	(c)	 the Facility Agent shall have received notification from one or more Lenders with Contributions aggregating not less than thirty three and a third per
cent. (33 1/3%) of the Loan (or, prior to the Drawdown Date for the First Advance, Commitments aggregating not less than thirty three and a third per cent. (33 1/3%) of the Total Commitments) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR, 



the Facility Agent shall forthwith give notice (a “Determination Notice”) to the Borrower and to each of the
Lenders. A Determination Notice shall contain particulars of the relevant circumstances giving rise to its issue. If a Determination Notice is given at any time during the Availability Period, the undrawn amount of the Total Commitments shall not be
borrowed until notice to the contrary is given to the Borrower by the Facility Agent but Interest Advances will continue to be deemed to be made pursuant (and subject) to clause 4.2. 

 

	5.6.2	 	 During the period of ten (10) days after any Determination Notice has been given by the Facility Agent under clause 5.6.1, each Lender shall
certify an alternative basis (the “Substitute Basis”) for making available or, as the case may be, maintaining its Contribution to the Facility. The 



  
 46 










	 	
Substitute Basis may (without limitation) include alternative interest periods or alternative rates of interest but shall include a margin above the cost of funds to such Lender (as such cost of
funds is determined in accordance with the provisions of clauses 5.3.2 and/or 5.3.3 above) equivalent to the Margin and Mandatory Cost (if any) applicable to that Lender’s Contribution and, with the agreement of the Borrower, the Substitute
Basis may include an alternative currency or currencies. Each Substitute Basis so certified shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall take effect in accordance with its terms from the date specified in the Determination Notice until such time as
the Facility Agent notifies the Borrower that none of the circumstances specified in clause 5.6.1 continues to exist whereupon the normal interest rate fixing provisions of this Agreement shall apply. 


 

	5.7	 	Break Costs 

  

	5.7.1	 	The Borrower shall, within three (3) Banking Days of demand by a Lender, pay to that Lender its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of an Advance or the
Loan being prepaid by the Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Advance or the Loan. 

  

	5.7.2	 	Each Lender shall, promptly after a demand by the Facility Agent, provide a certificate confirming, and providing reasonable details of, the amount of its Break Costs
for any Interest Period in which they accrue. 

  

	6	 	Reduction, prepayment 

  

	6.1	 	Reduction 

  

	6.1.1	 	The Total Commitment shall be reduced on each Application Date by the Required Amount for that Application Date. Any reduction of the Total Commitments shall
reduce the Commitment of each Lender in the proportion which that Lender’s Commitment bears to the Total Commitments. 

  

	6.1.2	 	If on any Application Date (after the reduction of the Total Commitments in accordance with clause 6.1.1 above) there remain any amounts available for application in
accordance with clause 5.2.12 of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities, the Total Commitments shall be further reduced by the balance of such moneys applied to the Loan and the Commitment of each Lender shall be further reduced in the proportion which
that Lender’s Commitment bears to the Total Commitments. 

  

	6.1.3	 	If, after the reduction of the Total Commitments on any Application Date, the Loan would exceed the Total Commitments as so reduced, the Borrower shall on such
Application Date pay to the Facility Agent (for the account of the Lenders) such amount in repayment of the Loan as shall ensure that the Loan does not exceed the Total Commitments at such time. 


 

	6.1.4	 	The Total Commitments shall be reduced to zero on the Final Maturity Date and any amount of the Loan outstanding on the Final Maturity Date shall be repaid in full,
together with all accrued interest and any other amount relating thereto payable under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents. 

  

	6.2	 	Voluntary prepayment 


Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, upon ten (10) Banking Days written notice to the
Facility Agent, prepay the Loan after the Availability Period has ended in whole or in part (being $5,000,000 or any larger sum which is either an integral multiple of $5,000,000 or an amount complying with the requirements of this clause) on any
Interest Payment Date without premium or penalty or Break Costs but without prejudice to any of the Borrower’s obligations under clause 12 (Indemnities). Upon any such notice of prepayment being given, the Total Commitments shall be reduced by
an amount equal to the amount of the prepayment, provided however that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall only be entitled to prepay the Loan in full. 

  
 47 










	6.3	 	Additional voluntary prepayment 

 Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may also, upon five (5) Banking Days written notice to the Facility Agent, prepay (in whole but not in part only),
without premium or penalty, but without prejudice to its obligations under clauses 5.6 (Market disruption), 8.5 (Grossing up for Taxes) and 13.2 (Increased Costs) or the obligations of the Lenders under clause 13.4 (Mitigation): 

 

	6.3.1	 	the Contribution of any Lender to which the Borrower shall have become obliged to pay additional amounts under clause 8.5 or 13.2; 


 

	6.3.2	 	any Lender’s Contribution to which a Substitute Basis applies by virtue of clause 5.6.2; 


 

	6.3.3	 	the Contribution of any Lender which has notified the Facility Agent of its Additional Cost Rate (under paragraph 3 of Schedule 8); or 


 

	6.3.4	 	the Contribution of any Lender which withholds consent to any sale of issued share capital of a Core Company as contemplated in clause 14.2.19(c) of the Deed of
Proceeds and Priorities. 

 Upon any notice of such prepayment being given, the Commitment of the relevant Lender
shall be reduced to zero and the Total Commitments shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Commitment of the relevant Lender immediately prior to the delivery of that notice. 

 

	6.4	 	Mandatory prepayment 

 If
at any time: 
  

	6.4.1	 	     

  

	 	(a)	any Facility Document (other than the Charterer Acknowledgement) is not or ceases to be effective or any material provision thereof is not or ceases to be in full force
and effect or any Facility Document (other than the Charterer Acknowledgement) or any material provision thereof is alleged by any Security Party or, in the case of the Builder Acknowledgement, by the Builder (or either of them) to be ineffective
for any reason, the Borrower shall, on the date falling ten (10) Banking Days following receipt by the Borrower and the applicable Security Party of notification of such ineffectiveness or alleged ineffectiveness from the Security Trustee,
prepay the Loan in full, whereupon the Total Commitments shall be reduced to zero, unless prior to that time (i) the ineffectiveness has been remedied or (ii) the Security Trustee acting with the consent of the Majority Lenders has been
satisfied that such allegation is without foundation or is spurious; or 

  

	 	(b)	the Charterer Acknowledgement (if issued by the Charterer) is not or ceases to be effective or any material provision thereof is not or ceases to be in full force and
effect or the Charterer Acknowledgement or any material provision thereof is alleged by the Charterer in writing to be ineffective for any reason, the Borrower shall, on the date falling ten (10) Banking Days following receipt by the Borrower
of notification of such ineffectiveness or alleged ineffectiveness from the Security Trustee, prepay the Loan in full, whereupon the Total Commitments shall be reduced to zero, unless prior to that time (i) the ineffectiveness has been remedied
or (ii) the Security Trustee acting with the consent of the Majority Lenders has been satisfied that such allegation is without foundation or is spurious or (iii) the Borrower has provided or has procured the provision of replacement
security satisfactory to the Security Trustee acting with the consent of the Lenders; or 

  

	6.4.2	 	     

  

	 	(a)	it becomes unlawful for any Security Party (or, in the case of the Builder Acknowledgement, the Builder (or either of them)) to perform all or any of its material
obligations under this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents (other than the Charterer Acknowledgement) or any of the Project Documents, in each case to which it is party, for any reason; or 


  
 48 










	 	(b)	this Agreement or any Facility Document (other than the Charterer Acknowledgement) or any Project Document or any material provision thereof ceases to be lawful and
enforceable for any reason; or 

  

	 	(c)	any of the Security Documents comprising a security interest ceases to constitute a valid first priority security interest over the asset or property to which it
relates; or 

  

	 	(d)	it becomes unlawful at any time for the Charterer to perform all or any of its respective material obligations under the Charterer Acknowledgement (if the same is
issued) or the Charterer Acknowledgement or any material provision thereof otherwise ceases to be legal and enforceable, 

 the Borrower shall, on the date falling fifteen (15) Banking Days following receipt by the Borrower and the applicable Security Party of notice from the Security Trustee of such unlawfulness or
failure of security (or, if earlier, the Banking Day following receipt of such notice prior to the unlawfulness or failure of security taking effect), prepay the Loan in full, whereupon the Total Commitments shall be reduced to zero unless prior to
that time (i) any such unlawfulness, illegality and/or unenforceability has been remedied or (ii) the Borrower has provided or has procured the provision of replacement security satisfactory to the Security Trustee acting with the consent
of the Lenders; or 
  

	6.4.3	 	on any Application Date any amounts remain available for application in accordance with clause 5.2.12 of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities, such amounts shall be
applied in pre-payment of the Loan in accordance with clause 5.2.12 of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities and this clause 6.4.3. 

  

	6.5	 	Prepayment on Total Loss or damage 

  

	6.5.1	 	Upon the Rig becoming a Total Loss or suffering damage or being involved in an incident which, in the opinion of the Majority Lenders, based on the advice of the
Technical Adviser, may result in the Rig subsequently being determined to be a Total Loss, the Total Commitments shall be reduced to zero. On the date upon which the Total Loss Proceeds or Requisition Compensation are received from the insurers, the
Borrower shall prepay the Loan in full. If those Total Loss Proceeds or Requisition Compensation received are sufficient to pay, repay, satisfy and discharge the Secured Obligations in full, the Facility Agent shall apply any of those Total Loss
Proceeds or Requisition Compensation remaining after such payment, repayment, satisfaction and discharge in accordance with clause 5.2 (other than clause 5.2.1) of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities. If the Total Loss Proceeds or Requisition
Compensation have not been received from the insurers within sixty (60) days of the applicable date referred to in the definition of “Total Loss Date”, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to declare an acceleration of the Loan
pursuant to clause 11.3 of this Agreement, provided however that, prior to the applicable date referred to in the definition of “Total Loss Date”, the Borrower shall, and shall procure that the Head Charterer shall, pursue the claim
diligently and shall keep the Facility Agent informed as to the progress of the claim and any discussions with the insurers in relation thereto and the Facility Agent shall take into account the then current situation and the advice and information
of the Borrower provided pursuant hereto when deciding whether to exercise its rights to declare an acceleration of the Loan under clause 11.3. 

  

	6.5.2	 	If, pursuant to clause 6.1.3 of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities, any amount of Restricted Proceeds are required to be applied by the Borrower in prepayment of the
Loan, the Borrower shall, on the date those Restricted Proceeds are received, prepay (without premium or penalty, but without prejudice to any of its obligations under this Agreement) the Loan in an amount equal to the amount of those Restricted
Proceeds. If those Restricted Proceeds are sufficient to prepay the whole of the Loan, the Facility Agent shall apply any of those Restricted Proceeds remaining after such prepayment in accordance with clause 5.2 (other than clause 5.2.1) of the
Deed of Proceeds and Priorities. 


  
 49 










	6.6	 	Amounts payable on prepayment 

 Any prepayment under this Agreement shall be made together with: (a) accrued interest to the date of prepayment (calculated, in the case of any prepayment of a Lender’s Contribution pursuant to
clause 6.3 and in respect of the period during which the relevant Substitute Basis has applied by virtue of clause 5.6 (Market disruption), at a rate per annum equal to the rate certified by such Lender to be an interest rate equivalent to the
aggregate of (i) the applicable Margin (for the period up to the date of prepayment) and (ii) the cost to such Lender of funding its Contribution for such period calculated on the basis set out in clauses 5.3.2, 5.3.3 and 5.6 (where a
Substitute Basis applies) and (iii) the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s Contribution); (b) any additional amount payable under clause 8.5 (Grossing up for Taxes) or 13.2 (Increased Costs); and (c) all other
sums payable by the Borrower to the relevant Lender under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents including, without limitation, any accrued commitment commission payable under clause 7.1.2 (Fees) and any amounts payable under clause 12.1
(Indemnities). 
  

	6.7	 	Notice of prepayment 


Every notice of prepayment given by the Borrower shall be effective only on actual receipt by the Facility Agent, shall be irrevocable
and shall oblige the Borrower to make such prepayment on the date specified. No amount prepaid may be reborrowed. The Borrower may not prepay the Loan or any part thereof save as expressly provided in this Agreement. 

 

	6.8	 	Replacement Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts 

  

	6.8.1	 	The Original Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts has been prepared on the basis of the assumptions that: 


 

	 	(a)	the Charter Date of Acceptance shall occur on or prior to 13 December 2008; 


 

	 	(b)	there will be twenty (20) Application Dates between the Charter Date of Acceptance and the Final Maturity Date on which payments of Required Amount shall be due;


  

	 	(c)	there will be no change to the Facility Limit, Construction Facility Limit, Hull Facility Limit or Interest Facility Limit pursuant to clause 2.2; and


  

	 	(d)	the total amount drawn down will be three hundred and ten million Dollars ($310,000,000). 


 

	6.8.2	 	If any or all of the assumptions made in clause 6.8.1 above proves to be incorrect the Facility Agent shall prepare a Replacement Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts
within ten (10) Banking Days following the last day of the Availability Period reflecting the actual Charter Date of Acceptance and such Replacement Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts shall (in the absence of manifest error) replace the
Original Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts and shall be deemed to be ‘the Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts’ for the purpose of this Agreement. The Facility Agent shall submit the Replacement Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts
to the Borrower for approval (such approval not to be unreasonably delayed and to be capable of being withheld only in the case of error in such Replacement Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts) and shall notify all other parties to this Agreement
of such recalculation and provide to them a copy of the Replacement Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts. 

  

	6.8.3	 	 If at any time a prepayment of part of the Loan is made pursuant to this clause 6 (other than in accordance with clause 6.4.3 if, after the making of
the relevant prepayment referred to in clause 6.4.3, the Final Payment will be greater than zero) or clause 13.1, the Facility Agent shall, following such prepayment, re-calculate the Original Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts or, as the case
may be, any Replacement Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts and prepare a Replacement Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts on the basis that, in the case of any prepayment of part only of the Loan other than in accordance with clause 6.3 or
clause 13.1, the amount of such prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity (being first applied against the Final Payment) or, in the case of any prepayment of part only of the




  
 50 










	 	
Loan, in accordance with clause 6.3 or clause 13.1, the amount of such prepayment shall be applied in or towards repayment of the Loan and the levels of the Required Amounts in the Schedule of
Minimum Repayment Amounts shall be reduced proportionately by the amount of such prepayment and, in each case, the Facility Agent shall notify all of the parties to this Agreement of such re-calculation and provide to them a copy of the Replacement
Schedule of Minimum Repayment Amounts. 

  

	6.9	 	No reborrowing 

 No
amount of the Facility repaid or prepaid may be reborrowed. 
  

	7	 	Fees and expenses 

  

	7.1	 	Fees 

  

	7.1.1	 	The Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent in Dollars: 

  

	 	(a)	on the dates specified in the Fee Letters, for the account of the Arranger, the arrangement and underwriting fee in the amounts agreed between the Borrower and the
Arranger in the Fee Letters; and 

  

	 	(b)	on the date of this Agreement and each anniversary thereof, until all moneys owing under this Agreement have been paid in full, for the account of the Agents, an agency
fee in the amount agreed between the Borrower and the Agents in the Fee Letters. 

  

	7.1.2	 	The Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent in Dollars, in arrear on each Commitment Fee Date, commitment commission for the account of each Lender computed from (and
including) the date of this Agreement or, as the case may be, the immediately preceding Commitment Fee Date to (but excluding) the applicable Commitment Fee Date in accordance with clause 8.9 at the rate of zero point five five per cent. (0.55%) per
annum on the daily undrawn amount of such Lender’s Commitment, such commission to be payable whether or not any part of the Total Commitments is ever advanced. Commitment Fees shall, subject to the provisions of clause 4.2, be capitalised and
deemed to be paid by virtue of the Interest Advances deemed to be made in respect of those Commitment Fees pursuant to clause 4.2. 

  

	7.2	 	Expenses 

 The Borrower
shall pay to the Facility Agent on demand: 
  

	7.2.1	 	all expenses (subject to any agreed cap thereon and including legal, printing and out-of-pocket expenses, travel expenses and (subject always, in relation to the
inspection of the Rig, as provided in clause 11.4 of the Deed of Undertaking) the fees of any technical, valuation and insurances advisers but excluding any amount in relation to management time) properly incurred (provided any expense exceeding
US$5,000 shall be approved by the Borrower before being incurred, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) by any of the Arranger, Security Trustee or Facility Agent in connection with the review of the Project Documents and the
Insurances, the negotiation, preparation and execution and, where relevant, the registration of this Agreement and the Facility Documents, the drawdown of any Advance, the syndication of the Facility, the preparation and distribution of the
Information Memorandum and of any amendment, variation, or extension of or supplement to, or the granting of any waiver or consent under, this Agreement or any Facility Document; and 


 

	7.2.2	 	all expenses (including legal, printing and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by any of the Beneficiaries in contemplation of, or otherwise in connection with, the
enforcement or attempted enforcement of, or preservation or attempted preservation of any rights under, this Agreement and the Facility Documents and the exercise of the powers granted by, referred to in or otherwise contemplated by, this Agreement
and the Facility Documents, 

 together with interest thereon at LIBOR from (and including) the date on which such
expenses were incurred and, at the rate referred to in clause 5.3 (Interest for late payment), from (and 

  
 51 









 
including) the date falling two (2) Banking Days after the date of demand up to (but excluding) the date of payment (as well after as before judgment) and the Facility Agent agrees to notify
the Borrower: 
  

	 	(a)	of the amount of such expenses promptly after such expenses are incurred and (in the case of expenses incurred by the Beneficiaries) the Facility Agent is made aware
thereof; 

  

	 	(b)	following a written request from the Borrower (provided that the Borrower may not make such requests more frequently than once in every calendar month), of the amount
of any such expenses accrued by the Facility Agent since the last such request or, as the case may be, notification pursuant to paragraph (b) above. 

  

	7.3	 	Stamp taxes 

 The
Borrower shall pay and, within three (3) Banking Days of demand, indemnify each Beneficiary against any cost, loss or liability that Beneficiary incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of
the Transaction Documents. 
  

	7.4	 	Value added tax 

  

	7.4.1	 	All consideration or sums expressed to be payable under the Facility Documents by any party to a Beneficiary shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT. Subject to
clause 7.4.2 below, if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Beneficiary to any party in connection with the Facility, that party shall pay to that Beneficiary (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal
to the amount of the VAT. 

  

	7.4.2	 	If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Beneficiary (the “Provider”) to any other Beneficiary (the “Recipient”) in connection
with the Facility Documents, and any party is required by the terms of the Facility Documents to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Provider, such party shall also pay to the Provider (in addition to and at the same time
as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. 

  

	7.4.3	 	Where a Beneficiary requires any party to reimburse a Beneficiary for any costs or expenses, that party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Beneficiary
against all VAT incurred by the Beneficiary in respect of those costs or expenses to the extent that the Beneficiary reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.


  

	7.5	 	Indemnity in respect of stamp and other duties 

 The Borrower shall indemnify each of the Beneficiaries against any liability arising by reason of any delay or omission by the Borrower to pay any such stamp, documentary, registration or other duties or
taxes. 
  

	8	 	Payments and Taxes; accounts and calculations 

  

	8.1	 	No set-off or counterclaim; distribution to the Lenders 

 The Borrower acknowledges that in performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Lenders will be incurring liabilities to third parties in relation to funding of amounts to the Borrower (such
liabilities matching the liability of the Borrower to the Lenders) and that it is reasonable for the Lenders to be entitled to receive payments from the Borrower gross (as provided herein) on the due date in order that the Lenders are put in a
position to perform their matching obligations to the relevant third parties. Accordingly, all payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement and any of the Facility Documents shall be made in full, without any set-off or counterclaim
whatsoever and, subject as provided in clause 8.5 (Grossing up for Taxes), free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in Dollars (except for costs, charges or expenses which shall be payable in the currency in which they are incurred) on the
due date to the account of the Facility Agent at such bank as the Facility Agent may from time to time specify for this purpose. Save where this Agreement and/or the Facility Documents provides for


  
 52 









 
a payment to be made for the account of a particular Lender (including, without limitation, clauses 5.6 (Market disruption; non-availability), 6.3 (Additional Voluntary Prepayment), 6.4
(Mandatory Prepayment), 7 (Fees and expenses), 8.5 (Grossing up for Taxes), 12.1 (Miscellaneous Indemnities), 12.2 (Currency Indemnity), 13.1 (Unlawfulness) and 13.2 (Increased costs)) in which case the Facility Agent shall distribute the relevant
payment to the Lender concerned, payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement and/or the Facility Documents shall be for the account of all the Lenders and the Facility Agent shall forthwith distribute such payments in like funds as are
received by the Facility Agent to the Lenders rateably in accordance with their Commitments or Contributions, as the case may be, subject always to clause 14.2 (Pro-rata payments). 

 

	8.2	 	Payments by the Lenders 


All sums to be advanced by the Lenders to the Borrower under this Agreement shall be remitted in Dollars on the relevant Drawdown Date to
the account of the Facility Agent at such account as the Facility Agent may from time to time notify the Lenders and the Borrower directs the Facility Agent that all such sums shall be paid by the Facility Agent on such date in like funds as are
received by the Facility Agent to the Project Account related to the Facility of which such sums form a part, which the Borrower acknowledges and agrees shall constitute the borrowing thereof by the Borrower. 

 

	8.3	 	Non-Banking Days 

 When
any payment under this Agreement would otherwise be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, the due date for payment shall be postponed to the next following Banking Day, unless such Banking Day falls in the next calendar month in which case
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Banking Day. 
  

	8.4	 	Facility Agent may assume receipt 

 Where any sum is to be paid under this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents to the Facility Agent for the account of another person, the Facility Agent may assume that the payment will be made
when due and may (but shall not be obliged to) make such sum available to the person so entitled. If it proves to be the case that such payment was not made to the Facility Agent, then the person to whom such sum was so made available shall on
request refund such sum to the Facility Agent together with interest thereon sufficient to compensate the Facility Agent for the cost of making available such sum up to the date of such repayment and the person by whom such sum was payable shall
indemnify the Facility Agent for any and all loss or expense which the Facility Agent may sustain or incur as a consequence of such sum not having been paid on its due date. 

 

	8.5	 	Grossing-up for Taxes 

  

	8.5.1	 	If at any time the Borrower is required to make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under this Agreement and/or the Facility Documents
for the account of any Beneficiary (or if the Facility Agent is required to make any such deduction or withholding from a payment to another Beneficiary) the sum due from the Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent
necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, each Beneficiary receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum
which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made and the Borrower shall indemnify each Beneficiary against any losses or costs incurred by any of them by reason of any failure of the Borrower to make any
such deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment. The Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Facility Agent any receipts, certificates or other proof evidencing the amounts (if any)
paid or payable in respect of any such deduction or withholding. 

  

	8.5.2	 	The Borrower shall not be required to make any increased payment under this clause 8.5 if the requirement to make such payment arises solely as a consequence of:


  

	 	(a)	the breach by any Beneficiary of its express obligations under this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents; or 


  
 53 










	 	(b)	any assignment or transfer by any Beneficiary of its rights under this Agreement or any Facility Document, or a change in its Facility Office other than an assignment,
transfer or change: 

  

	 	(i)	permitted or required by this Agreement (subject always to clause 15.8 (Facility Offices)) or the relevant Facility Document; 


 

	 	(ii)	effected in order to reduce or mitigate any requirement to make any increased payment where such assignment, transfer or change is made with the agreement of the
Borrower (provided however that if the Borrower withholds its consent to such proposed assignment, transfer or change, the Borrower shall be obliged to make the applicable deduction or withholding or other increased payment or to prepay the Loan
advanced in accordance with clauses 6.2 and 6.3 above); or 

  

	 	(iii)	following any request by any member of the Group. 

  

	8.5.3	 	If any Beneficiary determines in its absolute discretion acting in good faith that it has received, realised, utilised and retained a Tax benefit by reason of any
deduction or withholding in respect of which the Borrower has made an increased payment under this clause 8.5 that Beneficiary shall, provided always that the applicable Beneficiary has received all amounts which are then due and payable by the
Borrower and/or any other Security Party under any of the provisions of the Facility Documents, pay to the Borrower (to the extent that the applicable Beneficiary can do so without prejudicing the amount of that benefit and the right of that
Beneficiary to obtain any other benefit, relief or allowance which may be available to it) such amount, if any, as that Beneficiary shall determine in its absolute discretion (acting in good faith) will leave that Beneficiary in no better and no
worse position than that Beneficiary would have been in if the deduction or withholding had not been required and that it retains no benefit as a result of the benefit of such deduction (such payment to be made on or prior to the date falling three
(3) Banking Days after the date of such determination), 

 PROVIDED THAT: 

 

	 	(a)	the applicable Beneficiary shall have an absolute discretion as to the time at which and the order and manner in which it realises or utilises any Tax benefit;


  

	 	(b)	the applicable Beneficiary shall provide reasonable details of the basis of such determination but shall not be obliged to disclose any information regarding its
business, Tax affairs or Tax computations which that Beneficiary considers to be confidential; 

  

	 	(c)	if the applicable Beneficiary has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this clause 8.5.3 on account of any Tax benefit and it subsequently transpires that that

Facility Documents, against any loss (including loss of Margin, but only loss of Margin in respect of the actual Contribution of each Lender to the Loan at the relevant time) or expense which such Beneficiary shall certify (subject always to clause
8.10 (Certificates conclusive)) as sustained or incurred by it as a consequence of: 
  

	12.1.1	 	any default in payment by any Security Party of any sum under this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents when due; 


  
 76 










	12.1.2	 	subject to any exclusion in the final paragraph of clause 12.3.1 below, the occurrence of any other Default; 


 

	12.1.3	 	the exercise by the Security Trustee of any or all of its rights under or pursuant to the Facility Documents; 


 

	12.1.4	 	if applicable, any repayment or prepayment of all or part of the Loan being made otherwise than on an Interest Payment Date relating to the part of the Loan repaid or
prepaid; or 

  

	12.1.5	 	any Advance not being made for any reason (excluding any default by a Beneficiary) after a Drawdown Notice has been given, 


including, in any such case, but not limited to, any loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Beneficiary in maintaining or funding

	12.2	 	Currency of account; currency indemnity 

 No payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents which is made in a currency other than the currency in which such payment is required to be made pursuant to this Agreement
or the applicable Facility Document (“Contractual Currency”) shall discharge the obligation in respect of which it is made except to the extent of the net proceeds in the Contractual Currency received by the Facility Agent upon the
sale of the currency so received, after taking into account any premium and costs of exchange in connection with such sale. For the avoidance of doubt the Facility Agent and the Lenders shall not be obliged to accept any such payment in a currency
other than the Contractual Currency nor shall the Facility Agent or the Lenders be liable to the Borrower for any loss or alleged loss arising from fluctuations in exchange rates between the date on which such payment is so received by the Facility
Agent and the date on which the Facility Agent effects such sale, as to which the Facility Agent shall (as against the Borrower) have an absolute discretion. If any sum due from the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents or
any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto is required to be converted from the Contractual Currency or the currency in which the same is payable under such order or judgment (the “first currency”) into another currency
(the “second currency”) for the purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower, (b) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (c) enforcing any order or judgment given or
made in relation to this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Beneficiaries from and against any loss suffered as a result of any difference between (i) the rate of exchange used
for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which that Beneficiary may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second
currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. Any amount due from the Borrower under the indemnity contained in this clause 12.2 shall be due as a separate debt and shall
not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents and the term “rate of exchange” includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in
connection with the purchase of the first currency with the second currency.

	12.3.1	 	The Borrower hereby agrees at all times to pay promptly or, as the case may be, indemnify and hold the Beneficiaries, the Banks and the Related Companies of any

regardless of when the same shall arise (whether prior to, during or after termination of this Agreement) and whether or not the Rig (or any part thereof) is in the possession or control of the Borrower, the Head Charterer, the Sponsor or the
Charterer or any other person; 

  

	 	(b)	as a consequence of any claim that any design, article or material in the Rig (or any part thereof) or relating thereto or the operation or use thereof constitutes an
infringement of patent, copyright, design or other proprietary right; 

  

	 	(c)	in preventing or attempting to prevent the arrest, confiscation, seizure, taking in execution, requisition, impounding, forfeiture or detention of the Rig (or any part
thereof), or in securing or attempting to secure the release of the Rig (or any part thereof); 

  

	 	(d)	as a consequence (direct or indirect) of the breach by any person (other than the Indemnified Persons) of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or
any of the Facility Documents (other than the Charterer Acknowledgement and the Project Documents containing the Rig Rights) or of any of the warranties and representations on the part of any person (other than the Indemnified Persons) made in this
Agreement or in any of the Facility Documents being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever when made, 


save where such Losses arise as a direct consequence of the wilful misconduct of a Beneficiary, a Beneficiary acting with reckless
disregard for the consequences or a breach by a Beneficiary of its express obligations under this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents; and 
  

	12.3.2	 	any costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the sale of the Rig (or any part thereof) (including, without limitation, broker’s
commissions, redelivery costs (if any), marketing expenses, legal costs, storage, insurance, registration fees and any other expenses of the Indemnified Persons incurred pending the sale or disposal of the Rig (or any part thereof) or otherwise in
connection with the sale or disposal of the Rig (or any part thereof)). 

  

	12.4	 	Environmental indemnity 


Without prejudice to the provisions of clause 12.3, the Borrower shall indemnify the Indemnified Persons and each of them on demand and
hold the Indemnified Persons and each of them harmless from and against all costs, expenses, payments, charges, losses, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings (whether civil or criminal), penalties, fines, damages, judgments, orders, sanctions
or other outgoings of whatever nature which may be suffered, incurred or paid by, or made or asserted against the Indemnified Persons or any of them at any time, whether before or after the repayment in full of principal and interest under this
Agreement, relating to, or arising directly or indirectly in any manner or for any cause or reason whatsoever out of an Environmental Claim in respect of the Borrower or the Rig made or asserted against the Indemnified Persons or any of them if such
Environmental Claim would not have been, or been capable of being, made or asserted against the Indemnified Persons if they had not entered into this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents and/or exercised any of their rights, powers and
discretions thereby conferred and/or performed any of their obligations thereunder and/or been involved in any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Facility Documents. 

  
 78 










	12.5	 	Grossing-up of indemnity payments 

 If any of the Beneficiaries or any other Indemnified Person makes a payment or suffers a Loss in respect of which it is entitled to be reimbursed or indemnified or otherwise held harmless pursuant to this
clause 12 or any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Facility Documents and such payment or Loss is not or will not be wholly deductible for the purposes of the tax computations of that Beneficiary or other Indemnified Person,
whilst the payment to be made by way of indemnity or reimbursement will or is likely to give rise to a Tax liability for that Beneficiary or other Indemnified Person and/or where such payment is likely to give rise to a Tax liability in any period
of account of the Beneficiary or other Indemnified Person which is earlier than the period of account in which the loss or payment is deductible then at the same time as the Borrower makes the payment by way of reimbursement or indemnity, it shall
pay such an additional amount as shall be certified by an officer of the applicable Beneficiary or other Indemnified Person as will ensure that the applicable Beneficiary or other Indemnified Person shall be in the same after-Tax position as it
would have been had the applicable reimbursement or indemnity payment not given rise to any liability for Tax or such payment had been deductible. The Borrower shall indemnify each Beneficiary against any costs or Losses incurred by any of them by
reason of any failure of the Borrower to make any additional payment in respect of the applicable reimbursement or indemnity payment. 
  

	13	 	Unlawfulness and increased costs; mitigation 

  

	13.1	 	Unlawfulness 

 If it is
or becomes contrary to any law or regulation for any Lender to contribute to the Advances or to maintain its Commitment or fund its Contribution, such Lender shall promptly, through the Facility Agent, notify the Borrower whereupon (a) such
Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced to zero and (b) subject to clause 13.2, the Borrower shall be obliged to prepay the Contribution of such Lender upon receipt of that notice or on the latest date permitted by the law or regulation
pursuant to which the relevant unlawfulness arises. Any prepayment pursuant to this clause 13.1 shall be made together with all amounts referred to in clause 6.6 (Amounts payable on prepayment). Any Lender giving a notice pursuant to this clause
13.1 shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date that notice is given, provide to the Borrower, through the Facility Agent, a copy of advice obtained by that Lender from qualified external legal counsel confirming the relevant
unlawfulness and the Borrower shall, within five (5) Banking Days of demand, pay to that Lender the cost incurred by that Lender in connection with obtaining that advice. 

 

	13.2	 	Increased Costs 

 If the
result of: 
  

	 	(a)	any change in, or in the interpretation or application of, or any replacement of, the Basel 2 Accord or the introduction of any law, regulation, request or requirement
(whether or not having the force of law, but, if not having the force of law, with which the relevant Lender or, as the case may be, its Affiliate is required to comply) in relation to the Basel 2 Accord (each a “Basel 2 Change of
Law”); or 

  

	 	(b)	any change in, or in the interpretation or application of, or the introduction of, any other law, regulation, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of
law, but, if not having the force of law, with which the relevant Lender or, as the case may be, its Affiliate is required to comply), including (without limitation) those relating to Taxation, capital adequacy, liquidity, reserve assets, cash ratio
deposits and special deposits (each a “General Change of Law”); or 

  

	 	(c)	any change in, or in the interpretation or application of, or the replacement of, the relevant Lender’s Basel 2 Approach (each a “Change of Basel 2
Approach”), 


  
 79 









 is to: 
  

	13.2.1	 	subject the relevant Lender (for the purposes of this clause 13 each such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender”) to Taxes or change the basis of
Taxation of such Affected Lender with respect to any payment under this Agreement or any Facility Document (other than, for the purposes of this clause 13 and clause 13.2, Taxes or Taxation on the overall net income, profits or gains of any Affected
Lender imposed in the jurisdiction in which its principal or lending office under this Agreement is located); and/or 

  

	13.2.2	 	increase the cost to, or impose an additional cost on, any Affected Lender or any of its Affiliates in making or keeping available all or part of the Commitments of
such Affected Lender or maintaining or funding all or part of the Contributions of such Affected Lender; and/or 

  

	13.2.3	 	reduce the amount payable or the effective return of any Affected Lender under this Agreement; and/or 


 

	13.2.4	 	reduce the rate of return of any Affected Lender or any of its Affiliates on its overall capital by reason of a change in the manner in which it is required to allocate
capital resources to such Affected Lender’s obligations under this Agreement; and/or 

  

	13.2.5	 	require any Affected Lender or any of its Affiliates to make a payment or forego a return calculated by reference to or on any amount received or receivable by such
Affected Lender under this Agreement or any Facility Document; and/or 

  

	13.2.6	 	cause any Affected Lender or any of its Affiliates to incur or sustain a loss (including a loss of future potential profits) by reason of being obliged to deduct all or
part of the Commitments or Contributions of such Affected Lender from its capital for regulatory purposes, 

 then
and in each such case (but subject to clauses 6.3 and 13.3): 
  

	 	(a)	such Affected Lender shall notify the Borrower through the Facility Agent in writing of such event promptly upon its becoming aware of the same; and


  

	 	(b)	the Borrower shall on demand, made at any time whether or not the Contributions of such Affected Lender have been repaid, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of
such Affected Lender the amount which such Affected Lender specifies (in a certificate setting forth the basis of the computation of such amount but not including any matters which such Affected Lender or its Affiliate regards as confidential) is
required to compensate on an after-tax basis such Affected Lender and/or its Affiliate for such liability to Taxes, increased or additional cost, reduction, payment, forgone return or loss. 


 

	13.3	 	Exceptions 

 Nothing in
clause 13.1 shall entitle any Lender to receive any amount in respect of compensation for any such liability to Taxes, increased or additional cost, reduction, payment, forgone return or loss to the extent that the same: 

 

	13.3.1	 	is the subject of an additional payment under clause 8.5 (Grossing up for Taxes); or 


 

	13.3.2	 	in the case of a General Change of Law, is attributable to the Basel 2 Accord in the form existing on the date of this Agreement; or 


 

	13.3.3	 	in the case of a Change of Basel 2 Approach, is not attributable to a Basel 2 Change of Law; or 


 

	13.3.4	 	directly results from (i) a breach by the applicable Lender of its express obligations under this Agreement or any Facility Document, other than any breach which
arises as a consequence of any act or omission of any Security Party, or (ii) from a wilful breach by the applicable Lender of any applicable law or regulation; or 


  
 80 










	13.3.5	 	is compensated for by the payment of Mandatory Cost. 

  

	13.4	 	Mitigation 

 If
circumstances arise which would, or would upon the giving of notice, result in: 
  

	13.4.1	 	the Borrower being required to make an increased payment to any Lender pursuant to clause 8.5 (Grossing up for Taxes); 


 

	13.4.2	 	the reduction of any Lender’s Commitment to zero or the Borrower being required to prepay any Lender’s Contribution pursuant to clause 13.1 (Unlawfulness);


  

	13.4.3	 	the Borrower being required to make a payment to any Lender to compensate such Lender or any of its Affiliates for a liability to Taxes, increased or additional cost,
reduction, payment, foregone return or loss pursuant to paragraph (b) of clause 13.1; or 

  

	13.4.4	 	an increased Additional Cost Rate, 

 then, without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying the obligations of the Borrower under clause 8 (Payments and Taxes) and this clause 13, such Lender shall, in consultation with the
Facility Agent and the Borrower, endeavour to take such reasonable steps as are open to it (or, in the case of clauses 13.2.2, and 13.2.4 to 13.2.6, its Affiliate) to mitigate or remove such circumstances (including the transfer of the rights and
obligations of such Lender under this Agreement and the Facility Documents to another lending office or to another bank or financial institution acceptable to the Borrower (acting reasonably)) unless the taking of such steps might (in the opinion of
such Lender or, as the case may be, its Affiliate) be prejudicial to such Lender or, as the case may be, its Affiliate or be in conflict with the general banking policies of the Lender or, as the case may be, its Affiliate or involve such Lender or,
as the case may be, its Affiliate in expense (unless such expense is fully indemnified to the satisfaction of such Lender or its Affiliate) or an increased administrative burden. 

 

	13.5	 	Decreased costs 

 If the
result of any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of clause 13.1 (but excluding the matters referred to in clause 13.2.2), is to: 
  

	13.5.1	 	reduce the burden of Taxation on a Lender (for the purposes of this clause 13.5 each such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender”) with respect to any
payment under this Agreement or any Facility Document (other than, for the purposes of this clause 13.5, Taxes or Taxation on the overall net income, profits or gains of any Affected Lender imposed in the jurisdiction in which its principal or
lending office under this Agreement is located); and/or 

  

	13.5.2	 	reduce or remove the cost to any Affected Lender or any of its Affiliates in making or keeping available all or part of the Commitments of such Affected Lender or
maintaining or funding all or part of the Contributions of such Affected Lender; and/or 

  

	13.5.3	 	increase the amount payable to or the effective return of any Affected Lender under this Agreement; and/or 


 

	13.5.4	 	increase the rate of return of any Affected Lender or any of its Affiliates on its overall capital by reason of a change in the manner in which it is required to
allocate capital resources to such Affected Lender’s obligations under this Agreement; and/or 

  

	13.5.5	 	enable any Affected Lender or any of its Affiliates to reduce a payment or obtain a higher return calculated by reference to or on any amount received or receivable by
such Affected Lender under this Agreement or any Facility Document; and/or 

  

	13.5.6	 	cause any Affected Lender or any of its Affiliates to earn a profit (including future profits) by reason of not being obliged to deduct all or part of the Commitments
or Contributions of such Affected Lender from its capital for regulatory purposes, 


  
 81 









 then and in each such case: 

 

	 	(a)	such Affected Lender shall notify the Borrower through the Facility Agent in writing of such event promptly upon its becoming aware of the same;


  

	 	(b)	such Affected Lender shall pay to the Facility Agent for the account of the Borrower the amount which such Affected Lender specifies (in a certificate setting forth the
basis of the computation of such amount but not including any matters which such Affected Lender or its holding company regard as confidential) is required to pass on to the Borrower, on an after-tax basis, the amount of such reduced burden of
Taxes, reduced cost, increase, reduced payment, higher return or profit; and 

  

	 	(c)	the Facility Agent shall pay any amount received by the Facility Agent pursuant to clause 13.5.6(b) for the account of the Borrower to the Earnings Account for
application pursuant to clause 5 of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities. 

  

	13.6	 	Exceptions 

 Nothing in
clause 13.5 shall entitle the Borrower to receive any amount in respect of a benefit for any such reduced liability to Taxes, reduced or removed cost, increase, reduced payment, higher return or profit to the extent that the same: 

 

	13.6.1	 	is the subject of a payment to the Borrower under clause 8.5.3 (Grossing up for Taxes); or 


 

	13.6.2	 	in the case of a General Change of Law, is attributable to the Basel 2 Accord in the form existing on the date of this Agreement; or 


 

	13.6.3	 	in the case of a Change of Basel 2 Approach, is not attributable to a Basel 2 Change of Law; or 


 

	13.6.4	 	directly results from (i) a breach by the Borrower or any other Security Party of its express obligations under this Agreement or any Facility Document, other than
any breach which arises as a consequence of any act or omission of any Lender, or (ii) from a wilful breach of any applicable law or regulation by the Borrower or any other Security Party. 


 

	14	 	Set-off and pro rata payments 

  

	14.1	 	Set-off 

 If, as between
the Beneficiaries or any of them on the one hand and the Borrower on the other, there are any moneys due and payable to the Borrower from the Beneficiaries or any of them under this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents, the Borrower authorises
each Beneficiary, at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to apply any such amounts in or towards satisfaction of any sum then due and payable from the Borrower to such Beneficiary under this Agreement. For this purpose each
Beneficiary is authorised to purchase with the moneys standing to the credit of any account of the Borrower other than the Accounts with that Beneficiary at any of its branches such other currencies as may be necessary to effect such application. No
Beneficiary shall be obliged to exercise any right given to it by this clause 14.1. Each Beneficiary shall notify the Facility Agent and the Borrower (giving full details) forthwith upon the exercise or purported exercise of any right of relevant
set-off and the Facility Agent shall inform the other Beneficiaries. 
  

	14.2	 	Pro rata payments 

  

	14.2.1	 	 If at any time any Lender (the “Recovering Lender”) receives or recovers any amount owing to it by the Borrower under this Agreement
by direct payment, set-off or in any manner other than by payment through the Facility Agent pursuant to clause 8.1 (No set-off or counterclaim) or clause 8.7 (Application of payments prior to the Termination Date) or clause 8.8 (Application of
Payments after the Termination Date) (not being a payment received from a Transferee of such Lender’s Contribution or any other payment of an amount due to the Recovering Lender for its sole account pursuant to clauses 5.6 (Market disruption),
6.3 (Additional voluntary prepayment), 



  
 82 










	 	
6.4 (Mandatory Prepayment), 6.5 (Prepayment on Total Loss), 8.5 (Grossing-up for Taxes), 12.1 (Miscellaneous indemnities), 12.2 (Currency indemnity), 13.1 (Unlawfulness) or 13.2 (Increased
costs)), the Recovering Lender shall, within two (2) Banking Days of such receipt or recovery (a “Relevant Receipt”) notify the Facility Agent of the amount of the Relevant Receipt. If the Relevant Receipt exceeds the amount
which the Recovering Lender would have received if the Relevant Receipt had been received by the Facility Agent and distributed pursuant to clause 8.1 (No set-off or counterclaim) or clause 8.7 (Application of Payments prior to a Termination Date)
(as the case may be) then: 

  

	 	(a)	within two Banking Days of demand by the Facility Agent, the Recovering Lender shall pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal (or equivalent) to the excess;


  

	 	(b)	the Facility Agent shall treat the excess amount so paid by the Recovering Lender as if it were a payment made by the Borrower and shall distribute the same to the
Lenders (other than the Recovering Lender) in accordance with clause 8.7 (Application of payments prior to a Termination Date); and 

  

	 	(c)	as between the Borrower and the Recovering Lender the excess amount so re-distributed shall be treated as not having been paid but the obligations of the Borrower to
the other Lenders shall, to the extent of the amount so re-distributed to them, be treated as discharged. 

  

	14.2.2	 	If any part of the Relevant Receipt subsequently has to be wholly or partly refunded by the Recovering Lender (whether to a liquidator or otherwise) each Lender to
which any part of such Relevant Receipt was so re-distributed shall on request from the Recovering Lender repay to the Recovering Lender such Lender’s pro rata share of the amount which has to be refunded by the Recovering Lender.


  

	14.2.3	 	Each Lender shall on request supply to the Facility Agent such information as the Facility Agent may from time to time request for the purpose of this clause 14.2.


  

	14.2.4	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause 14.2 no Recovering Lender shall be obliged to share any Relevant Receipt which it receives or recovers pursuant
to legal proceedings taken by it to recover any sums owing to it under this Agreement with any other party which has a legal right to, but does not, either join in such proceedings or commence and diligently pursue separate proceedings to enforce
its rights in the same or another court (unless the proceedings instituted by the Recovering Lender are instituted by it without prior notice having been given to such party through the Facility Agent). 


 

	14.3	 	No release 

 For the
avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that failure by any Recovering Lender to comply with the provisions of clause 14.2 shall not release any other Recovering Lender from any of its obligations or liabilities under clause 14.2. 

 

	14.4	 	No charge 

 The
provisions of this clause 13.4.4 shall not, and shall not be construed so as to, constitute a charge by a Lender over all or any part of a sum received or recovered by it in the circumstances mentioned in clause 14.2. 

 

	15	 	Assignment, substitution and lending offices 

  

	15.1	 	Benefit and burden 

 This
Agreement shall be binding upon, and enure for the benefit of, the Beneficiaries which are party to this Agreement, and their respective successors in title and Transferees and the Borrower and its successors in title and any assignee or transferee
of the Borrower permitted in accordance with clause 15.2. 

  
 83 










	15.2	 	No assignment by Borrower 


The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Facility
Documents without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, acting on the instructions of all the Lenders. 
  

	15.3	 	Transfer 

 The parties
hereto agree that each Lender (an “Existing Lender”) may transfer all or any part (which, in the case of a transfer of part only, shall be in an amount of its Commitment and Contribution which is in aggregate not less than seven
million five hundred thousand Dollars ($7,500,000)) of its rights, benefits and obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents to another person (a “Transferee”) provided that, in the case of any transfer made
when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower has given its consent thereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in any case, shall be deemed to have been given if the Facility Agent has not received
notice from the Borrower that consent will not be given on or prior to the date falling seven (7) Banking Days after the date the Borrower received notice of the relevant proposed transfer. Any such transfer shall be effected upon not less than
five (5) Banking Days’ prior notice by delivery to the Facility Agent of a duly completed Transfer Certificate duly executed by the Existing Lender and the Transferee, together with the payment by the Existing Lender to the Facility Agent
of a fee of two thousand Dollars ($2,000) in respect of the administrative costs incurred by the Facility Agent in connection with such transfer. On the Effective Date (as specified and defined in a Transfer Certificate so executed and delivered),
to the extent that the Commitment and Contribution of the Existing Lender are expressed in a Transfer Certificate to be the subject of the transfer in favour of the Transferee effected pursuant to this clause 15.3, by virtue of the counter-signature
of the Transfer Certificate by the Facility Agent (for itself and the other parties to this Agreement): 
  

	15.3.1	 	the existing parties to this Agreement and the Existing Lender shall be released from their respective obligations towards one another under this Agreement
(“discharged obligations”) and their respective rights against one another under this Agreement (“discharged rights”) shall be cancelled; 


 

	15.3.2	 	the Transferee party to the relevant Transfer Certificate and the existing parties to this Agreement (other than such Existing Lender) shall assume obligations towards
each other which differ from the discharged obligations only insofar as they are owed to or assumed by such Transferee instead of to or by such Existing Lender; and 


 

	15.3.3	 	the Transferee party to the relevant Transfer Certificate and the existing parties to this Agreement (other than such Existing Lender) shall acquire rights against each
other which differ from the discharged rights only insofar as they are exercisable by or against such Transferee instead of by or against such Existing Lender. 

 The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders and the Borrower of the receipt by it of any Transfer Certificate and shall promptly deliver a copy of such Transfer Certificate to the Borrower.

  

	15.4	 	Reliance on Transfer Certificate 

 The Facility Agent and the Borrower shall be fully entitled to rely on any Transfer Certificate delivered to the Facility Agent in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause 15 which is
complete and regular on its face as regards its contents and purportedly signed on behalf of the relevant Existing Lender and the Transferee and neither the Facility Agent nor the Borrower shall have any liability or responsibility to any party as a
consequence of placing reliance on and acting in accordance with any such Transfer Certificate if it proves to be the case that the same was not authentic or duly authorised. 

  
 84 










	15.5	 	Authorisation of Facility Agent 

 Each party to this Agreement irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to counter-sign each Transfer Certificate on its behalf for the purposes of clause 15.3 without any further consent (save as may be
provided for in clause 15.3) of, or consultation with, the Borrower or such party. The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower as soon as reasonably practicable after signing any Transfer Certificate on the Borrower’s behalf. 

 

	15.6	 	Documenting Transfers 


If any Lender novates all or any part of its rights, benefits, obligations and liabilities as provided in clause 15.3, the Borrower
undertakes, immediately upon being requested to do so by the Facility Agent and at the cost of the Existing Lender, to enter into, and use all reasonable endeavours to procure that the other Security Parties shall enter into, such documents, deeds,
agreements and instruments as the Facility Agent shall deem appropriate in connection with the transfer to the Transferee of all or the relevant part of that Existing Lender’s rights, benefits, obligations and liabilities under and pursuant to
this Agreement and the Facility Documents. 
  

	15.7	 	Construction of certain references 

 If any Lender novates all or any part of its rights, benefits and obligations as provided in clause 15.3 all relevant references in this Agreement to such Lender shall thereafter be construed as a
reference to such Lender and/or its Transferee to the extent of their respective interests. 
  

	15.8	 	Facility Offices 

 Each
Lender shall lend through its office at the address specified in Schedule 1 or, as the case may be, in any relevant Transfer Certificate or through any other office of such Lender selected from time to time by such Lender as the office through which
such Lender wishes to lend for the purposes of this Agreement and, following any change of its Facility Office by a Lender, the Facility Office of that Lender shall mean the replacement office selected by that Lender in accordance with this clause
15.8 or pursuant to clause 13.3 (Mitigation) or pursuant to a request from the Borrower. If the Facility Office through which a Lender is lending is changed pursuant to this clause 15.8, such Lender shall notify the Facility Agent promptly of such
change. 
 If: 
  

	 	(a)	any Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights, benefits or obligations hereunder otherwise than: 


 

	 	(i)	in order to reduce or mitigate any requirement to make any increased payment where such assignment or transfer is made with the agreement of the Borrower (provided
however that if the Borrower withholds its consent to any such proposed assignment or transfer, the Borrower shall be obliged to make the applicable deduction or withholding and other increased payment or to prepay the Facility in accordance with
clauses 6.2 and 6.3); 

  

	 	(ii)	upon the request of the Borrower; or 

  

	 	(b)	any Lender changes its Facility Office, in any such case otherwise than: 

  

	 	(i)	at the request of the Borrower; or 

  

	 	(ii)	 in order to reduce or mitigate any requirement to make any increased payment where such change of Facility Office is made with the agreement of the
Borrower (provided however that if the Borrower withholds its consent to any such proposed change of Facility Office, the Borrower shall be obliged to make the applicable deduction or withholding and other increased payment or to prepay the Facility
in accordance with clauses 6.2 and 6.3), 



  
 85 









 the Borrower shall not be obliged to make any indemnity payment or increased payment
pursuant to clause 8.5 of this Agreement or clause 13.2 to the relevant assignee or Transferee (or, in the case of a change by the Lender of its Facility Office, to such Lender) in excess of the indemnity payment or increased payment which the
Borrower would have been obliged to make in the absence of such assignment, transfer or change if such liability to make the applicable indemnity payment or increased payment arises as a result of either (a) the law in force in any applicable
jurisdiction at the time of the assignment, transfer or change, or (b) legislation in any applicable jurisdiction of which it is aware which is before the legislature at the time of such assignment, transfer or change and is subsequently
enacted by that legislature. 
  

	15.9	 	Disclosure of information 

  

	15.9.1	 	Any Lender may disclose any information about the Borrower, any member of the Group and the Facility Documents as that Lender shall consider appropriate to any of its
Affiliates and any other person: 

  

	 	(a)	to (or through) whom that Lender assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement;


  

	 	(b)	with (or through) whom that Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are
to be made by reference to, this Agreement or the Borrower; and 

  

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


subject to such Lender obtaining an undertaking on terms acceptable to the Borrower to treat such information as confidential and
provided that, in respect of any such information relating to the Group which was disclosed to the Lenders prior to the date of this Agreement but which was not included in the Information Memorandum, the relevant Lender first obtains the written
consent of the Borrower. 
  

	15.9.2	 	Any Beneficiary may disclose to a rating agency or its professional advisers, or (with the prior written consent of the Borrower) any other person any information about
the Borrower, the Group and the Facility Documents as that Lender or other Beneficiary shall consider appropriate. 

  

	15.10	 	Calculation of Mandatory Cost 

 Each Lender shall supply the Facility Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) with any information required by the Facility Agent in order to calculate the Mandatory Cost in accordance with Schedule 8.

  

	16	 	Facility Agent, Security Trustee and Reference Banks 

  

	16.1	 	Appointment of Facility Agent and Security Trustee 

 Each of the Lenders, the Arranger and (in the case of the appointment in paragraph (i)) the Security Trustee or (in the case of the appointment in paragraph (ii)) the Facility Agent irrevocably appoints
(i) the Facility Agent as its agent for the purposes of the Facility Documents and (ii) the Security Trustee as security trustee for the purposes of this Agreement and the Security Documents and irrevocably authorises respectively:

  

	16.1.1	 	the Security Trustee to execute each of the Security Documents and all such further documents as may be approved by the Majority Lenders for execution by the Security
Trustee; and 

  

	16.1.2	 	 each of the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to take such action on such Lender’s behalf
and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers, authorities and discretions as are specifically delegated to the Facility Agent or (as the case may be) the Security Trustee by this Agreement or (as the case may be) the Facility




  
 86 










	 	
Documents, together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto (but subject to any restrictions or limitations specified in this Agreement). Neither the Facility Agent
nor the Security Trustee shall, however, have any duties, obligations or liabilities (whether fiduciary or otherwise) to the Lenders beyond those expressly stated in this Agreement and/or the Facility Documents. 


Notwithstanding that the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee may from time to time be the same entity, the Facility Agent and
Security Trustee have entered into this Agreement in their separate capacities as (i) in the case of the Facility Agent, agent for the Lenders under and pursuant to the Facility Documents and (ii) in the case of the Security Trustee, as
security trustee for the Facility Agent and the Beneficiaries to hold the security created or to be created by the Security Documents on the terms set out in the Security Documents and/or in this Agreement. However, where this Agreement provides for
the Facility Agent to communicate with or provide instructions to the Security Trustee, while the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee are the same entity, it will not be necessary for there to be any such formal communications or instructions
notwithstanding that this Agreement provides in certain cases for the same to be in writing. 
  

	16.2	 	Declaration of Trust 


The Security Trustee hereby accepts its appointment under clause 16.1 as trustee of the Secured Property with effect from the date of
this Agreement and acknowledges and declares that it holds and shall hold the same on trust for the Beneficiaries and to pay the same to the Facility Agent for application in accordance with clause 8.7 (Application of Payments prior to a Termination
Date), clause 8.8 (Application of Payments after a Termination Date) or as the case may be, the provisions of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities. 
  

	16.3	 	Duration of Trust 

 The
trust constituted or evidenced by this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of: 
  

	16.3.1	 	the expiration of a period of eighty (80) years from the date of this Agreement; or 


 

	16.3.2	 	receipt by the Security Trustee of confirmation in writing from the Facility Agent that all the Secured Obligations have been paid, repaid, performed, discharged and
satisfied in full, 

 and the parties to this Agreement declare that the perpetuity period applicable to this
Agreement shall, for the purpose of the Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 1964, be a period of eighty (80) years from the date of this Agreement. 
  

	16.4	 	Agent’s actions 


Any action taken by either Agent under or in relation to this Agreement or, as the case may be, the Facility Documents with requisite
authority, or on the basis of appropriate instructions, received from the Majority Lenders (or as otherwise duly authorised) shall be binding on all the Lenders. 
  

	16.5	 	Agent’s duties 


Each Agent shall: 
  

	16.5.1	 	promptly notify each Beneficiary of the contents of each notice, certificate or other document received by that Agent from each Security Party and/or the Charterer
under or pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any Facility Document; 

  

	16.5.2	 	 consult with the Lenders as to whether and, if so, how a discretion vested in that Agent is, either in any particular instance or generally, to be
exercised but so that this shall not prevent the applicable Agent acting without seeking or obtaining instructions from all or any of the Lenders (a) in relation to routine administrative matters and (b) in relation to matters where the
interests 



  
 87 










	 	
of the Lenders or the value of the security constituted by the Security Documents or other exceptional circumstances where, in the opinion of the applicable Agent, time does not permit such
consultation and urgent action is required, and from exercising its rights and powers to preserve the security constituted by the Security Documents, so long as in each case the applicable Agent informs the Lenders as soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter of the circumstances and of the action taken; and 

  

	16.5.3	 	(subject to clause 16.13 and the other provisions of this clause 16) take such action or, as the case may be, refrain from taking such action with respect to the
exercise of all or any of its rights, remedies, powers and discretions as agent or security trustee and the grant of any consents and releases, as the Majority Lenders may reasonably direct. 


 

	16.6	 	Agent’s rights 


Each Agent may: 
  

	16.6.1	 	in the exercise of any right, remedy, power or discretion in relation to any matter, or in any context, not expressly provided for by this Agreement, act or, as the
case may be, refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and shall be fully protected in so doing; 

  

	16.6.2	 	unless and until it shall have received directions from the Majority Lenders, take such action, or refrain from taking such action in respect of a Default of which that
Agent has actual knowledge as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders (but shall not be obliged to do so); 

  

	16.6.3	 	refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of the Majority Lenders to institute any legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement
and/or the Security Documents until it has been indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction against any and all costs, expenses or liabilities (including legal fees) which it would or might incur as a result; 


 

	16.6.4	 	deem and treat (i) each Lender as the person entitled to the benefit of the Contribution of such Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and the Facility
Documents unless and until a Transfer Certificate shall have been filed with the Facility Agent and shall have become effective and (ii) the office set opposite the name of each Lender in Schedule 1 or, as the case may be, in any relevant
Transfer Certificate as such Lender’s lending office unless and until a written notice of change of lending office shall have been received by the Facility Agent; and each Agent may act upon any such notice unless and until the same is
superseded by a further such notice; 

  

	16.6.5	 	rely as to matters of fact which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of a Security Party upon a certificate signed by any director of that Security
Party; and 

  

	16.6.6	 	refrain from doing anything which would, or might in its opinion, be contrary to any law or regulation of any jurisdiction and may do anything which is in its opinion
necessary or desirable to comply with any such law or regulation. 

  

	16.7	 	No liability of Agents 


Neither Agent nor any of their respective employees and agents shall: 

 

	16.7.1	 	be obliged to request any certificate or opinion under any provision of this Agreement and the Facility Documents or to make any enquiry as to the use of the proceeds
of a Facility unless so required in writing by the Majority Lenders, in which case the applicable Agent shall promptly make the appropriate request of the Borrower; or 


 

	16.7.2	 	be obliged to make any enquiry as to any breach or default by the Borrower or any other Security Party or the Charterer in the performance or observance of any of the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Facility Documents or as to the existence of a Default unless the applicable Agent has actual knowledge thereof or has been notified in writing thereof by a Lender, in which case that Agent shall promptly
notify the Lenders of the relevant event, Default or other event or circumstance; or 


  
 88 










	16.7.3	 	be obliged to enquire whether or not any representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any other Security Party pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Facility
Documents is true; or 

  

	16.7.4	 	be obliged to do anything (including, without limitation, disclosing any document or information) which would, or might in its opinion, be contrary to any law or
regulation or be a breach of any duty of confidentiality or otherwise be actionable or render it liable to any person; or 

  

	16.7.5	 	be obliged to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account; or 


 

	16.7.6	 	be obliged to institute any legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with, or otherwise take steps to enforce, this Agreement and/or the Facility Documents
other than on the instructions of the Majority Lenders; or 

  

	16.7.7	 	be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted under or in connection with this Agreement and/or the Facility Documents or the Facility unless caused by its
negligence or wilful misconduct. 

 For the purposes of this clause 16 neither Agent shall be treated as having
actual knowledge of any matter of which any division of that Agent (other than the agency or loan administration department of the person for the time being acting as that Agent) may become aware in the context of any activities from time to time
undertaken by that Agent for any Security Party or the Charterer or any other person which may be a trade competitor of any Security Party or the Charterer or may otherwise have commercial interests similar to those of any Security Party or the
Charterer. 
  

	16.8	 	Non-reliance on Agents 


Each Lender acknowledges, by virtue of its execution of this Agreement or, as the case may be, a Transfer Certificate, that it has not
relied, and will not rely, on any statement, opinion, forecast or other representation made by either Agent to induce it to enter into this Agreement and that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance on either Agent and based on such
documents as it considers appropriate, its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Security Parties and the Charterer and its own independent investigation of the financial condition, prospects and affairs of the Borrower
and the other Security Parties and the Charterer in connection with the making and continuation of the Facility available under this Agreement and its own independent investigation of the application of any relevant Basel 2 Regulation to the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Neither Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect to the Borrower or other
Security Parties or the Charterer whether coming into its possession before the making of any Advance or at any time or times thereafter, other than as provided in clause 16.5.1 or which it is otherwise obliged to provide to the Lenders in
accordance with this Agreement. 
  

	16.9	 	No Responsibility on Agents for performance of Security Parties 

 Neither the Agents nor the Arranger shall have any responsibility or liability to any Beneficiary: 
  

	16.9.1	 	on account of the failure of the Borrower and the other Security Parties to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents
to which they are respectively party; or 

  

	16.9.2	 	for the creditworthiness, financial or other condition or affairs of the Borrower and the other Security Parties; or 


 

	16.9.3	 	for the completeness or accuracy of any certificates, statements, representations or warranties in this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents or the Information
Memorandum or any document delivered under this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents; or 


  
 89 










	16.9.4	 	for the execution, effectiveness, adequacy, genuineness, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents or of
any certificate, report or other document executed or delivered under this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents; or 

  

	16.9.5	 	to ascertain whether all deeds, documents, instruments and agreements which should have been deposited with or delivered to it under or pursuant to the Facility
Documents or any of them have been so deposited with or delivered to it; or 

  

	16.9.6	 	to investigate or make any enquiry into the title of the Borrower or any other Security Party to any of their respective property or assets; or


  

	16.9.7	 	for the failure to register or file any Facility Document with the Registrar of Companies or any other public office elsewhere; or 


 

	16.9.8	 	for the failure to register any of the Facility Documents in accordance with the provisions of the documents of title of the Borrower or any other Security Party to any
of their respective property or assets; or 

  

	16.9.9	 	for the failure to take or require the Borrower or any other Security Party to take any steps to render any of the Facility Documents effective as regards property or
assets outside England or Wales or to secure the creation of any ancillary charge under the laws of the jurisdiction concerned; or 

  

	16.9.10	 	for the application of any Basel 2 Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; or 


 

	16.9.11	 	otherwise in connection with the Facility or its negotiation or for acting (or, as the case may be, refraining from acting) in accordance with the instructions of the
Majority Lenders or, where required, all of the Lenders, 

 other than (if applicable) as a consequence of the
wilful misconduct or negligence of the Agents. 
  

	16.10	 	Reliance on documents and professional advice 

 Each Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person and shall be
entitled to rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers reasonably selected or approved by it (including those in the applicable Agent’s employment).

and the Facility Documents and/or in contemplation of, or otherwise in connection with, the enforcement or attempted enforcement of, or the preservation or attempted preservation of any rights under, or in carrying out its duties under, this
Agreement and/or any of the Facility Documents including (in each case) the fees and expenses of legal or other professional advisers. Each Lender shall on demand indemnify each Agent (rateably in accordance with its Share or Contribution) against
all liabilities, damages, costs and claims whatsoever incurred by each Agent in connection with this Agreement and the Facility Documents or the performance of their respective duties under this Agreement and the Facility Documents or any action
taken or omitted by either Agent under this Agreement and/or any of the Facility Documents, unless such liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise from the applicable Agent’s own negligence or wilful misconduct. 

 

	16.15	 	Retirement of Agents 

  

	16.15.1	 	The Facility Agent may and shall, upon the written request of the Majority Lenders, retire from its appointment as Facility Agent under this Agreement having given not
less than thirty (30) days’ notice of its intention to do so to the Borrower and each of the Lenders, provided that no such retirement shall take effect unless a successor facility agent for the Lenders has been duly appointed by the
Lenders. Any successor facility agent must be a Lender experienced in the oil and gas business and nominated by the Majority Lenders after good faith consultation with the Borrower or, failing such a nomination, any reputable Lender or financial
institution experienced in the oil and gas business nominated by the retiring Facility Agent. Any costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such retirement shall be for the account of the retiring Facility Agent, unless the
retirement has been requested by the Majority Lenders, in which case such costs and expenses shall be for the account of the Majority Lenders requesting the retirement of the Facility Agent. 


 

	16.15.2	 	The Security Trustee may and shall, upon the written request of the Majority Lenders, (at no cost to the Borrower) retire from its appointment as Security Trustee under
this Agreement and the Facility Documents having given not less than thirty (30) days’ notice of its intention to do so to the Borrower, the other Security Parties and each of the Lenders, provided however that no such retirement shall
take effect unless: 

  

	 	(a)	a Lender experienced in the oil and gas business and nominated by the Majority Lenders or, in the absence of such a nomination, any reputable and experienced bank or
financial institution nominated by the retiring Security Trustee has been appointed by the Lenders as the successor security trustee; and 


  
 92 










	 	(b)	in compliance with its obligations under clause 16.15.5, the Security Trustee shall have done all acts, taken all steps and executed all deeds, documents and other
instruments reasonably required by the successor security trustee in order to ensure the transfer of the property, assets and rights vested in the Security Trustee to the successor security trustee (or its nominee). 


 

	16.15.3	 	Any corporation into which the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the Facility Agent or the Security
Trustee may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation to which the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee shall be a party shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be the successor Facility Agent or (as the case may be) the Security Trustee under this Agreement and/or the Facility Documents without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to
this Agreement, save that notice of any such merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation shall forthwith be given to the Borrower and the Lenders. 


 

	16.15.4	 	Upon any such successor Facility Agent or successor Security Trustee being appointed in accordance with clauses 16.15.1 or 16.15.2 above, the retiring Facility Agent
or, as the case may be, the retiring Security Trustee shall be discharged from any further obligation under this Agreement (but shall continue to have the benefit of this clause 16 in respect of any action it has taken or refrained from taking prior
to such discharge) and its successor and each of the other parties to this Agreement shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor had been a party to this Agreement in place of the retiring
Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the retiring Security Trustee. The retiring Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the retiring Security Trustee shall provide its successor with copies of such of its records as its successor reasonably
requires to carry out its functions under this Agreement and the Facility Documents. 

  

	16.15.5	 	It is the intention that (except only as may be agreed in writing between any retiring Security Trustee and its successor with the prior approval of the Majority
Lenders), upon the appointment of any successor to the Security Trustee, the property, assets and rights vested in the Security Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and the Facility Documents should, with immediate effect, be vested in such successor
under the provisions of the Trustee Act 1925, either by operation of law or, failing that, by assignment or other form of transfer or conveyance. At any time and from time to time following the appointment of any such successor to the Security
Trustee, the retiring Security Trustee shall do and execute all acts, deeds and documents reasonably required by such successor in order to transfer to such successor Security Trustee (or its nominee, as such successor may direct) any such property,
assets and rights which shall not have vested in such successor by operation of law. All such acts, deeds and documents shall be done or, as the case may be, executed at the cost of the retiring Security Trustee. 


 

	16.16	 	Change of Reference Banks 


If any Reference Bank ceases to provide quotations to the Facility Agent for the purposes of determining LIBOR (where such quotations are
required having regard to the definition of “LIBOR” in clause 1.2), the Facility Agent may, acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders and with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), terminate
the appointment of such Reference Bank and appoint another Lender to replace such Reference Bank. 
  

	16.17	 	Powers and duties of the Security Trustee as trustee of the security 

 In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Facility Documents the Security Trustee: 
  

	16.17.1	 	 shall, without prejudice to any of the powers, discretions and immunities conferred upon trustees by law (and to the extent not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents), have all the same powers and discretions as a natural person acting as the beneficial owner of such property and/or as are conferred upon the Security Trustee by this Agreement and/or
any Facility Document but so that the Security Trustee may only exercise such powers and discretions to the extent that it is authorised to do so by the provisions of this 



  
 93 










	 	
Agreement (including specifically, but without limitation, clause 16.5.2) and, in exercising such powers and discretions, the Security Trustee shall have regard to and comply with any applicable
constraints and/or restrictions imposed by this Agreement (including specifically, but without limitation, by clause 16.5.2); 

  

	16.17.2	 	shall (subject to clause 16.20 (Application of proceeds received by the Security Trustee)) be entitled to invest moneys from time to time held by it as a consequence of
any enforcement of the security constituted by the Facility Documents which, in the reasonable opinion of the Security Trustee, it would not be practicable to distribute immediately, by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of
the Security Trustee as the Security Trustee may think fit without being under any duty to diversify the same and the Security Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate or exchange rate fluctuations;


  

	16.17.3	 	shall have full power to determine all questions and doubts arising in relation to the interpretation or application of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any
of the Facility Documents as it affects the Security Trustee and every such determination (whether made upon a question actually raised or implied in the acts or proceedings of the Security Trustee) shall be conclusive and shall bind all the other
parties to this Agreement provided however that if it is aware of the relevant question or doubt, and it is reasonably practicable to do so, the Security Trustee shall notify the Lenders of the relevant question or doubt and, if required to do so by
the Majority Lenders, the Security Trustee shall consult a lawyer in relation to such question or doubt (and if the Security Trustee does so consult a lawyer, the restriction or delegation of duties and functions referred to in clause 16.17.4 below
shall not apply to the consultation of the lawyer by the Security Trustee); 

  

	16.17.4	 	may, in the conduct of its obligations under and in respect of this Agreement and the Facility Documents (otherwise than, subject to the express provisions of the
proviso to clause 16.17.3, in relation to its right to make any declaration, determination or decision), instead of acting personally, employ and pay any agent to act on its behalf (whether being a lawyer, chartered accountant or any other person)
to transact or concur in transacting any business and to do or concur in doing any acts required to be done by the Security Trustee (including the receipt and payment of money) and on the basis that (i) any such agent engaged in any profession
or business shall be entitled to be paid by the Security Trustee for all usual professional and other charges for business transacted and acts done by him or any partner or employee of his in connection with such employment and (ii) the
Security Trustee shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such agent if the Security Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such agent (which, without
limitation, shall conclusively be deemed to be the case in respect of any agent approved in writing by the Majority Lenders); and 

  

	16.17.5	 	may place all deeds, certificates and other documents relating to the property and assets subject to the Facility Documents which are from time to time deposited with
it pursuant to the Facility Documents in any safe deposit, safe or receptacle selected by the Security Trustee acting reasonably or with any firm of solicitors and may make any such arrangements as it thinks fit acting reasonably for allowing the
Borrower access to, or its solicitors or auditors possession of, such documents when necessary or convenient and the Security Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss incurred in connection with any such deposit, access or possession.


  

	16.18	 	All enforcement action through the Security Trustee 

 None of the Lenders shall have any independent power to enforce any of the Facility Documents or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to any
of the Facility Documents or otherwise have direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by any of the Facility Documents except through the Security Trustee.

 The Lenders shall co-operate with each other and with each Agent and any Insolvency Official under the Facility Documents in realising the property and assets subject to the Facility Documents and in

Obligations) be paid to the Facility Agent for distribution in accordance with clause 8.7 (Application of payments prior to a Termination Date), clause 8.8 (Application of payments after a Termination Date) or, as the case may be, the applicable
provisions of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities. 
  

	16.21	 	Distribution of Proceeds 


The Facility Agent shall make each such application and/or distribution as soon as is practicable after the relevant moneys are received
by, or otherwise become available to, the Facility Agent in accordance with clause 16.20 save that (without prejudice to any other provision contained in any of the Facility Documents) the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority
Lenders) or any Insolvency Official may credit any moneys received by it to a suspense account for so long and in such manner as the Facility Agent or such Insolvency Official may from time to time determine with a view to preserving the rights of
the Beneficiaries or any of them to prove for the whole of their respective claims against the Borrower or any other person liable. 
  

	16.22	 	Release of Security 

 The
Borrower hereby agrees with the Security Trustee and the Lenders that they shall be entitled to retain the Security Documents (save for the Accounts Pledge in so far as it relates to (i) the Project Account, Proceeds Account and Earnings

shall be released immediately upon termination of the Security Period) for thirty (30) days after the payment, repayment, performance, satisfaction and discharge in full of all of the Secured Obligations and on the last day of such thirty
(30) day period the Security Trustee shall, at the request and cost of the applicable Security Party, execute such documentation as may be required to (a) release the applicable Security Party from its obligations under the applicable
Security Document, and (b) release or, where applicable, re-assign to that Security Party the security created pursuant to that Security Document and, in the case of each Power of Attorney, return the same to the Borrower in accordance with
this clause 16.22 only after satisfaction and discharge in full of all the Secured Obligations, Provided however that if in the reasonable opinion of the Security Trustee or any other Beneficiary there are at that time any contingent claims by any
of the Beneficiaries against the Borrower or any other Security Party under or in connection with this Agreement or any Facility Document or any likely contingent claims can be identified at that time, the Security Trustee reserves its right to
retain any Security Document and delay such release (notwithstanding the expiry of such thirty (30) day period) until the earlier of (i) the date on which all such contingent claims are irrevocably and unconditionally settled in full, or
fully and finally disposed of or withdrawn or discontinued and (ii) such time as the Security Trustee may deem appropriate. 

  
 95 










	16.23	 	Facility Agent as agent for Notices

	18	 	Miscellaneous 

  

	18.1	 	No implied waivers, remedies cumulative 

 No failure or delay on the part of the Beneficiaries or any of them to exercise any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise

remedies provided by law. 
  

	18.2	 	English translations 


All certificates, instruments and other documents to be delivered under or supplied in connection with this Agreement shall be in the

	18.3	 	Counterparts 

 This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all counterparts shall together constitute one and the same

constituted by the Security Documents; and 


  
 96 










	18.4.3	 	that the Borrower will use reasonable endeavours to assist the Agents to obtain any further assurance, document, act or thing as in the opinion of the Security Trustee
acting on behalf of and after consultation with the Lenders may be necessary for perfecting the security constituted by the Charterer Acknowledgement provided always that if the Borrower is unable to obtain or procure any such further assurance,
this shall not constitute an Event of Default on the part of the Borrower.

 In the event
of any conflicts between this Agreement and any other Facility Documents (other than the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities), the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

	1	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the

Agreement. 

  

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

  

	3	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Facility
Agent as its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all facilities made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in
respect of loans made from that Facility Office. If a Lender fails to notify any Additional Cost Rate pursuant to this paragraph 3, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to assume that no such Additional Cost Rate has been incurred.


  

	4	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Facility Agent in accordance with the following
formula: 

  

			
	 E x 0.01
	 	per cent.
	300	 	per annum

 The resulting figures will be rounded to four decimal places. 

Where: 
  

	 	E.	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of
charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 

  

	5	For the purposes of this Schedule: 

  

	(a)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Supervision Manual of the Financial Services Authority’s Handbook of rules and
guidance or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

  

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