  		(a)	The Obligors shall (within five Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent acting on the instructions of a Protected Party or claiming on its own behalf) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss,

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


   

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


   

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


   

  if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that
    Finance Party; or

   

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


   

  		(A)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause ‎11.2 (Tax gross-up); or


   

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


   

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

          Agent.


   

  		11.4	Tax Credit


   

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

   

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


   

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


   

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

    incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

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


   

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


   

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


   

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


   

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


   

  		(d)	Any reference in this Clause ‎11.6 (VAT) to any Party shall, at any time when that Party is treated as a member of a group or
          unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the
          grouping rules provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group
          or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or representative or head) of that group or unity at the relevant time (as the case may be).


   

  
  
    	 	41	 


  

  
     

  

  
   

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

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


   

  		(A)	a FATCA Exempt Party; or


   

  		(B)	not a FATCA Exempt Party; and


   

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


   

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


   

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


   

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


   

  		(i)	any law or regulation;


   

  		(ii)	any fiduciary duty; or


   

  		(iii)	any duty of confidentiality.


   

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


   

  		(e)	If a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor, or the Facility Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA or any other applicable law or regulation require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of:

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


   

  		(ii)	where a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor on a Transfer Date and the relevant Lender is a New Lender, the relevant Transfer Date; or


   

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


   

  supply to the Facility Agent:

   

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


   

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


   

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


   

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


   

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


   

  		11.8	FATCA Deduction


   

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


   

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

  Section 7

    

    Guarantee and Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers

   

  		16	Guarantee and Indemnity


   

  		16.1	Guarantee and indemnity


   

  The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally:

   

  		(a)	guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each Transaction Obligor other than the Guarantor of all such other Transaction Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;


   

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


   

  		(c)	agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on
          demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Transaction Obligor other than the Guarantor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any
          Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause ‎16 (Guarantee and Indemnity) if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.


   

  		16.2	Continuing guarantee


   

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

   

  		16.3	Reinstatement


   

  If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Transaction Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise)
    is made by a Secured Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the
    Guarantor under this Clause ‎16 (Guarantee and Indemnity) will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

   

  		16.4	Waiver of defences


   

  The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause ‎16 (Guarantee and
      Indemnity) and in respect of any Transaction Security will not be affected or discharged by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause ‎16.4 (Waiver

      of defences), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause ‎16 (Guarantee and Indemnity) or in respect of any Transaction
    Security (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Secured Party) including:

   

  
  
    	 	50	 


  

  
     

  

  
   

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


   

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


   

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


   

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


   

  		(e)	any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Finance Document or any other document or security including, without
          limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;


   

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


   

  		(g)	any insolvency or similar proceedings.


   

  		16.5	Immediate recourse


   

  The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any
    other rights or security or claim payment from any person (including without limitation to commence any proceedings under any Finance Document or to enforce any Transaction Security) before claiming or commencing proceedings under this Clause ‎16 (Guarantee and Indemnity). This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

   

  		16.6	Appropriations


   

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

   

  		(a)	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in
          such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

  		27.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer


   

  		(a)	An Existing Lender shall give to the Obligors no less than 15 days' notice prior to effecting an assignment or transfer unless the assignment or transfer is made at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is
          continuing.


   

  		(b)	An assignment will only be effective on:


   

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


   

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


   

  		(c)	Each Obligor on behalf of itself and each Transaction Obligor agrees that all rights and interests (present, future or contingent) which the Existing Lender has under or by virtue of the Finance Documents are
          assigned to the New Lender absolutely, free of any defects in the Existing Lender's title and of any rights or equities which any Borrower or any other Transaction Obligor had against the Existing Lender.


   

  		(d)	A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause ‎27.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.


   

  		(e)	If:


   

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


   

  		(ii)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, a Transaction Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office
          under Clause ‎11 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or under that clause as incorporated by reference or in full in any other Finance Document or Clause ‎12 (Increased Costs),


   

  
  
    	 	93	 


  

  
     

  

  
   

  then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the
    Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This paragraph ‎(e) shall
    not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Facility.

   

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


   

  		27.3	Assignment or transfer fee


   

  The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of $3,500.

   

  		27.4	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders


   

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


   

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


   

  		(ii)	the financial condition of any Transaction Obligor;


   

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


   

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


   

  and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

   

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


   

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


   

  		(ii)	will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Transaction Obligor and its related entities throughout the Security Period.


   

  
  
    	 	94	 


  

  
     

  

  
   

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


   

  		(i)	accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause ‎27

          (Changes to the Lenders); or


   

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


   

  		27.5	Procedure for transfer


   

  		(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause ‎27.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer), a transfer is effected in accordance
          with paragraph ‎(c) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New
          Lender. The Facility Agent shall, subject to paragraph ‎(b) below as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate
          appearing on its face to comply with this Agreement and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.


   

  		(b)	The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied in its sole discretion that it has complied with all necessary
          "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.


   

  		(c)	Subject to Clause ‎27.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:


   

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


   

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


   

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


   

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


   

  
  
    	 	95	 


  

  
     

  

  
   

  		27.6	Procedure for assignment


   

  		(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause ‎27.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) an assignment may be effected in
          accordance with paragraph ‎(c) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and
          the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, subject to paragraph ‎(b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Assignment
          Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement.


   

  		(b)	The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied in its sole discretion it has complied with all necessary
          "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New Lender.


   

  		(c)	Subject to Clause ‎27.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:


   

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


   

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


   

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


   

  		(d)	Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause ‎27.6 (Procedure for assignment) to assign their rights
          under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Transaction Obligor or unless in accordance with Clause ‎27.5 (Procedure for transfer),

          to obtain a release by that Transaction Obligor from the obligations owed to that Transaction Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in
          Clause ‎27.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer).


   

  		27.7	Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Borrower


   

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

   

  		27.8	Security over Lenders' rights


   

  In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause ‎27 (Changes

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

   

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


   

  
  
    	 	96	 


  

  
     

  

  
   

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


   

  except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

   

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


   

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


   

  		27.9	Pro rata interest settlement


   

  		(a)	If the Facility Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a "pro rata basis" to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause ‎27.5 (Procedure for transfer) or any assignment pursuant to Clause ‎27.6 (Procedure


            for assignment) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):


   

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


   

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


   

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


   

  		(B)	the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause ‎27.9 (Pro
            rata interest settlement), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.


   

  		(b)	In this Clause ‎27.9 (Pro rata interest settlement) references to "Interest Period" shall be construed to include a reference
          to any other period for accrual of fees.


   

  		(c)	An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause ‎27.9 (Pro rata interest settlement)
          but which does not have a Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other
          vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents.

  		28	Changes to the Transaction Obligors


   

  		28.1	Assignment or transfer by Transaction Obligors


   

  No Transaction Obligor may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents.

   

  		28.2	Release of security


   

  		(a)	If a disposal of any asset subject to security created by a Security Document is made in the following circumstances:


   

  		(i)	the disposal is permitted by the terms of any Finance Document;


   

  		(ii)	the Majority Lenders agree to the disposal;


   

  		(iii)	the disposal is being made at the request of the Security Agent in circumstances where any security created by the Security Documents has become enforceable; or


   

  		(iv)	the disposal is being effected by enforcement of a Security Document,


   

  the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Facility Agent acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) shall release the asset(s) being
    disposed of from any security over those assets created by a Security Document. However, the proceeds of any disposal (or an amount corresponding to them) must be applied in accordance with the requirements of the Finance Documents (if any).

   

  		(b)	Without prejudice to paragraph (a) of this Clause ‎28.2 (Release of security), at the end of the Security Period (or upon the
          Total Loss or sale of the Ship and payment of all amounts due by the Borrowers under the terms of this Agreement) the Security Agent shall release the Transaction Security.


   

  		(c)	If the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Facility Agent acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) is satisfied that a release is allowed under this Clause ‎28.2 (Release of security) (at the request and expense of the Borrowers) each Finance Party must enter into any document and do all such other things which are reasonably required to
          achieve that release. Each other Finance Party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent to enter into any such document. Any release will not affect the obligations of any other Transaction Obligor under the Finance Documents.

  		(B)	in all other cases, the Majority Lenders; and


   

  		(ii)	not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) (A) in accordance with sub-paragraph ‎(i) above (or, if

          under the Transaction Documents.


   

  		(b)	The Facility Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the Majority Lenders (or, if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is a decision for any other
          Finance Party or group of Finance Parties, from that Finance Party or group of Finance Parties) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion and the Facility Agent may

          whose consent would have been required in respect of that amendment or waiver.

          instructions.


   

  		(g)	Without prejudice to the remainder of this Clause ‎29.2 (Instructions), in the absence of instructions, the Facility Agent

  		29.8	Responsibility for documentation


   

  The Facility Agent is not responsible or liable for:

   

  		(a)	the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) supplied by the Facility Agent, the Security Agent, a Transaction Obligor or any other person in, or in connection with, any

  		(c)	If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Facility Agent in accordance with paragraph ‎(b) above within 20 days after

          amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) to be properly incurred by it in making available such documents and records and providing such assistance.


   

  		(e)	The retiring Facility Agent's resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor.


   

  		(f)	Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph ‎(d) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause ‎13.3 (Indemnity to

          its liability (or to indemnify it) in acting as Facility Agent. Any fees for the account of the retiring Facility Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date. Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the

          Application Date relating to any payment to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents, either:


   

  		(i)	the Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause ‎11.7 (FATCA Information) and a Lender reasonably believes that
          the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;


   

  		(ii)	the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause ‎11.7 (FATCA Information) indicates that the Facility Agent
          will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or


   

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


   

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

   

  		29.13	Confidentiality


   

  		(a)	In acting as Facility Agent for the Finance Parties, the Facility Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or
          departments.


   

  		(b)	If information is received by a division or department of the Facility Agent other than the division or department responsible for complying with the obligations assumed by it under the Finance Documents, that

  		(c)	Without prejudice to Clause ‎29.4 (No fiduciary duties), the Facility Agent is not obliged to disclose to any other person (i)
          any confidential information or (ii) any other information if the disclosure would, or might in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty.

  		(b)	Each Finance Party shall supply the Facility Agent with any information that the Security Agent may reasonably specify (through the Facility Agent) as being necessary or desirable to enable the Security Agent to
          perform its functions as Security Agent. Each Finance Party shall deal with the Security Agent exclusively through the Facility Agent and shall not deal directly with the Security Agent and any reference to any instructions being given by or
          sought from any Finance Party or group of Finance Parties to or by the Security Agent in this Agreement must be given or sought through the Facility Agent.


   

  		(c)	Any Lender may by notice to the Facility Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications, information and documents to be made or despatched to that Lender under the Finance Documents.

            communication)) electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the transmission of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to be made)
          and be treated as a notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address (or such other information), department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause ‎36.2 (Addresses) and sub-paragraph ‎(ii) of paragraph ‎(a)

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

   

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


   

  
  
    	 	126	 


  

  
     

  

  
   

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


   

  		32.5	Exceptions


   

  		(a)	This Clause ‎32 (Sharing among the Finance Parties) shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not,
          after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Transaction Obligor.


   

  		(b)	A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:


   

  		(i)	it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and


   

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

  		(b)	Any such electronic communication as specified in paragraph ‎(a) above to be made between an Obligor and a Finance Party may only be
          made in that way to the extent that those two Parties agree that, unless and until notified to the contrary, this is to be an accepted form of communication.

          actually received (or made available) in readable form and in the case of any electronic communication made by a Party to the Facility Agent or the Security Agent only if it is addressed in such a manner as the Facility Agent or the Security

  		37	Calculations and Certificates


   

  		37.1	Accounts


   

  In any litigation or arbitration proceedings arising out of or in connection with a Finance Document, the entries made in the accounts maintained by a Finance
    Party are prima facie evidence of the matters to which they relate.

   

  		37.2	Certificates and determinations


   

  Any certification or determination by a Finance Party of a rate or amount under any Finance Document is, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence
    of the matters to which it relates.

   

  		37.3	Day count convention


   

  Any interest, commission or fee accruing under a Finance Document will accrue from day to day and is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days
    elapsed and a year of 360 days or, in any case where the practice in the London interbank market differs, in accordance with that market practice.

   

  		38	Partial Invalidity


   

  If, at any time, any provision of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither
    the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions under the law of that jurisdiction nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

   

  		39	Remedies and Waivers


   

  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right or remedy under a Finance Document shall operate as a waiver
    of any such right or remedy or constitute an election to affirm any Finance Document. No election to affirm any Finance Document on the part of a Secured Party shall be effective unless it is in writing. No single or partial exercise of any right or
    remedy shall prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in each Finance Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

   

  		40	Settlement or Discharge Conditional


   

  Any settlement or discharge under any Finance Document between any Finance Party and any Transaction Obligor shall be conditional upon no security or payment
    to any Finance Party by any Transaction Obligor or any other person being set aside, adjusted or ordered to be repaid, whether under any insolvency law or otherwise.

   

  		41	Irrevocable Payment


   

  If the Facility Agent considers that an amount paid or discharged by, or on behalf of, a Transaction Obligor or by any other person in purported payment or
    discharge of an obligation of that Transaction Obligor to a Secured Party under the Finance Documents is capable of being avoided or otherwise set aside on the liquidation or administration of that Transaction Obligor or otherwise, then that amount
    shall not be considered to have been unconditionally and irrevocably paid or discharged for the purposes of the Finance Documents.

  		43	Confidential Information


   

  		43.1	Confidentiality


   

  Each Finance Party agrees to keep all Confidential Information confidential and not to disclose it to anyone, save to the extent permitted by Clause ‎43.2 (Disclosure of Confidential Information), Clause ‎43.4 (Disclosure to
      numbering service providers) and unless otherwise required by law, court order, regulatory authority or stock exchange rules, requirements and regulations and to ensure that all Confidential Information is protected with security measures and a

  		43.3	DAC6


   

  Nothing in any Finance Document shall prevent disclosure of any Confidential Information or other matter to the extent that preventing that disclosure would

    	 	139	 


  

  
     

  

  
   

  		(c)	Each Obligor represents, on behalf of itself and the other Transaction Obligors, that none of the information set out in sub-paragraphs ‎(i)

          as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance Document; and
