	(c)	 the Borrower has provided evidence satisfactory to the Facility Agent that any consent required by the Borrower or any Security Party in connection
with the prepayment has been obtained and remains in force, and that any requirement relevant to this Agreement which affects the Borrower or any Security Party has been complied with. 



 

	8.7	Effect of notice of prepayment 

 A prepayment notice may not be withdrawn

	8.15	Prepayment of Swap Benefit 

 If a Designated Transaction is terminated in
circumstances where the Swap Bank would be obliged to pay an amount to the Borrower under the Master Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees that such payment shall be applied in prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Clause 8.11 and authorises the

	21	INDEMNITIES

shall fully indemnify the Facility Agent and each Lender on the Facility Agent’s demand and the Security Trustee on its demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are made or brought against or incurred by that
Creditor Party, or which that Creditor Party reasonably and with due diligence estimates that it will incur, as a result of or in connection with:

after the Drawdown Notice has been served in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; 


  

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

demand (after giving credit for any default interest paid by the Borrower on the amount concerned under Clause 7); and 


  

	(d)	 the occurrence and/or continuance of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default and/or the acceleration of repayment of the Loan under
Clause 19, 


 and in respect of any tax (other than tax on its overall net income) for which a Creditor
Party is liable in connection with any amount paid or payable to that Creditor Party (whether for its own account or otherwise) under any Finance Document. 
  

	21.2	Break Costs 

 If a Lender (the “Notifying Lender”)
notifies the Facility Agent that as a consequence of receipt or recovery of all or any part of the Loan (a “Payment”) on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the sum received or recovered the Notifying
Lender has or will, with effect from a specified date, incur Break Costs: 
  

	(a)	 the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of a notice it receives from a Notifying Lender under this Clause 21.2;



  

	(b)	 the Borrower shall, within 3 Business Days of the Facility Agent’s demand, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of the Notifying Lender
the amount of such Break Costs; and 


  

	(c)	 the Notifying Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, following a request by the Borrower, provide a certificate confirming the amount of
the Notifying Lender’s Break Costs for the Interest Period in which they accrue, such certificate to be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive and binding on the Borrower. 



In this Clause 21.2, “Break Costs” means, in relation to a Payment the amount (if any) by which: 

 

	 	(i)	 the interest which the Notifying Lender, should have received in respect of the sum received or recovered from the date of receipt or recovery of
such Payment to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to the sum received or recovered had such Payment been made on the last day of such interest Period; 



exceeds 

  
 68 









	 	(ii)	 the amount which the Notifying Lender, would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to such Payment on deposit with a leading bank in the
London Interbank Market for a period commencing on the Business Day following receipt or recovery of such Payment (as the case may be) and ending on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to the sum received or recovered.



  

	21.3	Other breakage costs 

 Without limiting its generality, Clause 21.1
covers any claim, expense, liability or loss, including a loss of prospective profit, incurred by a Lender in borrowing, liquidating or re-employing deposits from third parties acquired, contracted for or arranged to fund, effect or maintain all or
any part of its Contribution and/or any overdue amount (or an aggregate amount which includes its Contribution or any overdue amount) other than claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are shown to have been directly and mainly caused by the
gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the officers or employees of the Creditor Party concerned. 
  

	21.4	Miscellaneous indemnities 

 The Borrower shall fully indemnify each
Creditor Party severally on their respective demands, without prejudice to any of their other rights under any of the Finance Documents, in respect of all claims, proceedings, liabilities, taxes, losses and expenses of every kind which may be made
or brought against or sustained or incurred by a Creditor Party, in any country, as a result of or in connection with: 
  

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


  

	(b)	 investigating any event which the Creditor Party concerned reasonably believes constitutes an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default;



  

	(c)	 acting or relying on any notice, request or instruction which the Creditor Party concerned reasonably believes to be genuine, correct and
appropriately authorised; or 


  

	(d)	 any other Pertinent Matter, 



other than claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are shown to have been directly and mainly caused by the dishonesty,
gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the officers or employees of the Creditor Party concerned. 
 Without prejudice to
its generality, Clause 21.1 and this Clause 21.4 cover any claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which arise, or are asserted, under or in connection with any law relating to safety at sea, the ISM Code, the ISPS Code or any Environmental Law.

  

	21.5	Environmental Indemnity 

 Without prejudice to its generality, Clause
21.3 covers any claims, demands, proceedings, liabilities, taxes, losses or expenses of every kind which arise, or are asserted, under or in connection with any law relating to safety at sea, pollution or the protection of the environment, the ISM
Code or the ISPS Code. 
  

	21.6	Currency indemnity 

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

	(a)	 making, filing or lodging any claim or proof against the Borrower or any Security Party, whether in its liquidation, any arrangement involving it
or otherwise; or 



  
 69 









	(b)	 obtaining an order, judgment or award from any court or other tribunal in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings; or



  

	(c)	 enforcing any such order, judgment or award, 



the Borrower shall as an independent obligation, within 3 Business Days of demand, indemnify the Creditor Party to whom that
Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising when the payment actually received by that Creditor Party is converted at the available rate of exchange back into the Contractual Currency including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of
exchange actually used to convert the Sum from the Payment Currency into the Contractual Currency and (B) the available rate of exchange. 

In this Clause 21.6, the “available rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Creditor Party concerned is
able at the opening of business (London time) on the Business Day after it receives the Sum to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency. 

The Borrower waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Finance Documents in a currency other
than that in which it is expressed to be payable. 
 If any Creditor Party receives any Sum in a currency other than the
Contractual Currency, the Borrower shall indemnify the Creditor Party concerned against any cost, loss or liability arising directly or indirectly from any conversion of such Sum to the Contractual Currency. 

This Clause 21.6 creates a separate liability of the Borrower which is distinct from its other liabilities under the Finance
Documents and which shall not be merged in any judgment or order relating to those other liabilities. 
  

	21.7	Application to Master Agreement 

 For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 21.4
does not apply in respect of sums due from the Borrower to the Swap Bank under or in connection with the Master Agreement as to which sums the provisions of section 8 (Contractual Currency) of the Master Agreement shall apply. 

 

	21.8	Certification of amounts 

 A notice which is signed by 2 officers of a
Creditor Party, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Creditor Party under this Clause 21 and which indicates (without necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of which the amount, or
aggregate amount, is due shall be prima facie evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due. 
  

	21.9	Sums deemed due to a Lender 

 For the purposes of this Clause 21, a sum
payable by the Borrower to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender. 

  
 70

Document shall be paid:

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



 

	22.2	Grossing-up for taxes 

 If the Borrower is required by law, regulation or
regulatory requirement to make a tax deduction from any payment due under a Finance Document: 
  

	(a)	 the Borrower shall notify the Facility Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement; 



 

	(b)	 the amount due in respect of the payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that, after the making of such tax deduction, each
Creditor Party receives and retains (free from any liability relating to the tax deduction) a net amount which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount which it would have received had no such tax deduction been required to be made; and



  

	(c)	 the Borrower shall pay the full amount of the tax required to be deducted to the appropriate taxation authority promptly in accordance with the
relevant law, regulation or regulatory requirement, and in any event before any fine or penalty arises. 


  

	22.3	Indemnity and evidence of payment of taxes 

 The Borrower shall fully
indemnify each Creditor Party on the Facility Agent’s demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses incurred by any Creditor Party by reason of: 
  

	(a)	 any failure of the Borrower to make any tax deduction; or 



 

	(b)	 any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment in accordance with Clause 22.2; or 



 

	(c)	 without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 22.2, any payment on account of tax required to be made by a Creditor Party solely as a result of
that Creditor Party’s entry into any Finance Document (not being a tax imposed on the net income of that Creditor Party by the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, or the jurisdiction in which it is located or on the capital of that
Creditor Party employed in such jurisdiction or jurisdictions) on any sum received or receivable under the Finance Documents (including, without limitation, any sum received or receivable under this Clause 22.3) or any liability in respect of any
such payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against that Creditor Party. 


 Within 30 days after
making any tax deduction, the Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent any receipts, certificates or other documentary evidence satisfactory to the Facility Agent that the tax had been paid to the appropriate taxation authority. 

 

	22.4	Exclusion of tax on overall net income 

 In this Clause 22 “tax
deduction” means any deduction or withholding from any payment due under a Finance Document for or on account of any present or future tax except tax on a Creditor Party’s overall net income. 

 

	22.5	Application to Master Agreement 

 For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 22
does not apply in respect of sums due from the Borrower to the Swap Bank under or in connection with the Master Agreement as to which sums the provisions of section 2(d) (Deduction or Withholding for Tax) of the Master Agreement shall apply. 

  
 71 









	22.6	FATCA 

  

	(a)	 FATCA information

	 	(B)	 supply to the requesting party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable
“passthru percentage” or other information required under the Treasury regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as the requesting party reasonably requests for the purposes of such requesting
party’s compliance with FATCA. 


  

	 	(ii)	 If a party to any Finance Document confirms to another party pursuant to Clause 22.5(a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it
subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that party shall notify that other party reasonably promptly. 


  

	 	(iii)	 Sub-clause (i) above shall not oblige any Creditor Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of
any law or regulation, any policy of that party, any fiduciary duty or any duty of confidentiality, or to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns and calculations); provided, however, that information
required (or equivalent to the information so required) by United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8 or W-9 (or any successor forms) shall not be treated as confidential information of such party for purposes of this Sub-clause (iii).



  

	 	(iv)	 If a party to any Finance Document fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with
sub-clause (i) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where sub-clause (iii) above applies), then:

case) such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information. 
  

	(b)	 FATCA Gross-Up 


  

	 	(i)	 If the Borrower or any Security Party making a payment under a Finance Document is required to make a FATCA Deduction, the Borrower or Security
Party shall make that FATCA Deduction and shall make a payment to the United States government within the time allowed and in the amount required by FATCA. 


  

	 	(ii)	 If a FATCA Deduction is required to be made by the Borrower or any Security Party, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower or any Security
Party shall be increased to an amount which (after making any FATCA Deductions) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no FATCA Deduction had been required. 



  
 72 









	 	(iii)	 Each of the Borrower and the Security Parties shall promptly upon becoming aware that a FATCA Deduction is required (or that there is any change in
the rate or basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly. A Lender shall notify the Facility Agent on becoming aware that a FATCA Deduction (or that a change in the rate or basis of a FATCA Deduction) may be required on a
payment to such Lender.

	 	(v)	 Each Creditor Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make under FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA
Deduction, and none of the Creditor Parties shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction. A Creditor Party which becomes aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to another
party (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of such FATCA Deduction) shall notify that party and the Facility Agent. 


  

	 	(vi)	 If the Facility Agent is required to make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Creditor Party which relates to a payment by the Borrower
or any Security Party, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower or Security Party, as the case may be, shall be increased to an amount which (after the Facility Agent has made such FATCA Deduction) leaves the Facility Agent with an amount
equal to the payment which would have been made by the Facility Agent if no FATCA Deduction had been required. 


  

	 	(vii)	 The Facility Agent shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Lender which relates to a

a payment due to such Creditor Party under a Finance Document, or any taxes, penalties, interest or other amounts being asserted against or imposed on such Creditor Party by any taxing authority of or in the United States under FATCA.



  

	 	(ii)	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any Creditor Party is a FATCA Exempt Party, and after reasonable request of the Borrower at least 60
days prior to the next interest payment date, such Creditor Party has not provided the Borrower with written confirmation that it is a FATCA Exempt Party on or prior to the next Interest payment date after such request, then, unless the status of
such party under FATCA is publicly published by the United States Government or is otherwise publicly available in connection with FATCA, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify such Creditor Party for United States Federal taxes imposed

then due the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender) in accordance with and subject to the conditions of Clause 8 upon 15 days’ written notice to the Facility Agent and such FATCA Non-Exempt Lender, specifying the amount to be prepaid, the date on which the
prepayment is to be made and the basis for the FATCA Deduction, or 


  

	 	(B)	 if no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, nominate one or more Transferee Lenders who upon becoming a
Lender would be an Exempt FATCA Party, by notice in writing to the Facility Agent and the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender specifying the terms of the proposed transfer, and, subject to sub-clause (ii) below, cause such Transferee Lender(s) to purchase
all of the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender’s Contribution and Commitment. 


  

	 	(ii)	 If the Borrower elects to nominate one or more Transferee Lenders under Clause 22.5(e)(i)(B), the relevant FATCA Non-Exempt Lender shall transfer
its Contribution and Commitment to such Transferee Lender(s), but only after such FATCA Non-Exempt Lender has received one or more payments from the Borrower and such Transferee Lender(s) in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate
outstanding Contribution of such FATCA Non-Exempt Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such Contribution and all other amounts payable to such FATCA Non-Exempt Lender under the Finance Documents.



  

	 	(iii)	 If a FATCA Deduction is or will be required to be made by the Borrower under Clause 22.5(b) or (c) in respect of a payment to any Creditor

 For the purposes of this Clause 25, a sum
payable by the Borrower to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to, or for the account of, a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender; and each Lender’s proportion of a sum so payable for distribution to, or
for the account of, the Lenders shall be treated as a sum due to such Lender.

	26.6	Lender re-organisation; waiver of Transfer Certificate 

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

Party had against the Transferor Lender; 


  

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



 

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

existed; 


  

	(f)	 the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to all the rights under the Finance Documents (other than the Master Agreement) which are applicable to the
Lenders generally, including but not limited to those relating to the Majority Lenders and those under Clause 5.7 and Clause 20, and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be
entitled to them; and

for inspection by any Lender, the Security Trustee and the Borrower during normal banking hours, subject to receiving at least 3 Business Days prior notice.
