amounts standing to the credit of the Debt Service Reserve Account to service any Loan repayments which have become due), the Borrower shall not be entitled to withdraw any moneys from the Debt Service Reserve Account at any time from the date of
this Agreement and so long as moneys are owing under the Security Documents save that, unless and until a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default shall occur (which is continuing unremedied or unwaived) and the Agent shall direct to the
contrary in accordance with the Security Documents, the Borrower may withdraw moneys from the Debt Service Reserve Account provided that a DSRA Letter of Credit is issued in an amount sufficient to constitute security at least of an equivalent
Dollar for Dollar value as the amount withdrawn (and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement in relation to the DSRA Letter of Credit). In the event that the credit rating of an L/C Issuer falls below the Minimum Credit Rating applicable
to it as described in clause 9.1.20, the Borrower shall immediately credit the Debt Service Reserve Account with an amount equal to the amount covered by the DSRA Letter of Credit provided by such L/C Issuer until the conditions set out in clauses
9.1.18 and 9.1.20 have been satisfied in full, and clause 9.1.18 shall apply as if the reference in such clause to “the date falling twenty seven (27) months after the Delivery Date” were a reference to the date the Borrower so
credited the Debt Service Reserve Account and, to the extent that the Borrower is in breach of its obligations to so credit the Debt Service Reserve Account, the Lender Finance Parties shall immediately be entitled in their absolute discretion to

the Security Documents), all Retention Amounts credited to the Retention Account together with interest from time to time accruing or at any time accrued thereon shall be applied by the Account Bank (and the Borrower undertakes to give an
irrevocable and unconditional instruction to the Account Bank so to apply the same) in the following manner: 


  
 40 










	 	(a)	upon each Repayment Date in or towards payment to (i) the Agent of the instalment then falling due for repayment and the amount of interest then due and
(ii) to the Swap Providers of amounts then falling due under the Swap Agreements (if any). Each such application by the Account Bank shall constitute a payment in or towards satisfaction of the Borrower’s corresponding payment obligations
under this Agreement and the Swap Agreements but shall be strictly without prejudice to the obligations of the Borrower to make any such payment to the extent that the aforesaid application by the Account Bank is insufficient to meet the same; and


  

	 	(b)	following any application by the Account Bank pursuant to sub-clause (a) above, in transfer to the Revenue Account of any moneys standing to the credit of the
Retention Account. 

  

	8.8.2	Unless the Agent otherwise agrees in writing and subject to clause 8.8.1, the Borrower shall not be entitled to withdraw any moneys from the Retention Account at any
time from the date of this Agreement and so long as any moneys are owing under the Security Documents. 

  

	8.9	Application of accounts 

  

	    	At any time after the Agent has exercised its rights pursuant to clause 10.1, the Agent may, without notice to the Borrower but subject to the terms of the Security
Documents, instruct the Account Banks to apply all moneys then standing to the credit of the Accounts (other than the Distribution Account) (together with interest from time to time accruing or accrued thereon) in payment to the Security Trustee and
the Security Trustee shall apply the same in or towards satisfaction of any sums due to the Agent, the Security Trustee, the KEIC Agent, the Swap Providers and the Lenders under the Security Documents in the manner specified in the Intercreditor
Deed. 

  

	8.10	Interest and surpluses 

  

	8.10.1	Each of the Accounts shall bear interest upon the Account Bank’s standard terms for Dollar deposits in similar amounts and for periods comparable for which such
balances appear to the Account Bank likely to remain on the relevant Account and any interest credited to the Accounts (other than the Distribution Account) shall, unless and until an Event of Default (which is continuing unremedied or unwaived)
shall occur in which case, subject to the Security Documents, the provisions of clause 8.9 shall apply, be paid to the Revenue Account. 

  

	8.11	Charging of accounts 

  

	    	The Accounts (other than the Distribution Account) and all amounts from time to time standing to the credit thereof shall be subject to the security constituted and the
rights conferred by the relevant Security Documents. 

  

	8.12	General application of moneys 

  

	    	Whilst an Event of Default is continuing unremedied or unwaived the Borrower irrevocably authorises the Agent and the Security Trustee to apply all sums which either of
them may receive: 

  

	8.12.1	pursuant to a sale or other disposition of the Vessel or any right, title or interest in the Vessel; or

standing on any account of the Borrower (whether current or otherwise and whether or not subject to notice) with any branch of any of the Lender Finance Parties in or towards satisfaction of the Lender Indebtedness and, in the name of that Lender
Finance Party or the Borrower, to do all acts (including, without limitation, converting or exchanging any currency) and execute all documents which may be required to effect such application. The relevant Lender Finance Party will notify the

giving full details in relation thereto.

that Lender Finance Party as agent or nominee of the Borrower) from time to time held by that Lender Finance Party, whether for safe custody or otherwise. 

  


	11.3	Restrictions on withdrawal 

  

	  	Despite any term to the contrary in relation to any deposit or credit balance at any time on any account of the Borrower with any of the Lender Finance Parties, no such
deposit or balance shall be repayable or capable of being assigned, mortgaged, charged or otherwise disposed of or dealt with by the Borrower in question after an Event of Default has occurred and while such Event of Default is continuing unremedied
or unwaived, but any Lender Finance Party may from time to time permit the withdrawal of all or any part of any such deposit or balance without affecting the continued application of this clause. Provided always that this clause 11.3 shall not apply
to the Distribution Account or any credit balance therein. 

  

	12	Assignment and Transfer

same or a better credit rating than the Lender making the assignment or transfer) to another Lender or (ii) above with the prior written consent of the Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Borrower (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unremedied or unwaived) to any other bank or financial institution provided that in relation to any transfer or any assignment

	 	(iii)	the Borrower shall not, as at the time of any such assignment or transfer, be liable to pay any additional or increased amounts or taxes or suffer a reduction in any

	12.1.2	Each of the Lenders may, without being restricted or otherwise being bound by clause 12.1.1, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights under or pursuant to this

Finance Parties to disclose to any proposed assignee or transferee (whether before or after any assignment or transfer and whether or not any assignment or transfer shall take place) all information relating to the Security Parties, the Time
Charterer, the Loan or the Relevant Documents which each such Lender Finance Party may in its discretion consider necessary to implement such assignment or transfer (subject to any duties of confidentiality applicable to the Borrower and/or Lender
Finance Parties). 

  

	12.3	Rights of assignee 

  

	  	Any assignee or transferee of a Lender shall (unless limited by the express terms of the assignment or transfer) take the full benefit of every provision of the
Security Documents benefiting that Lender. Such transfer shall not directly result in an increased cost to, or liability of, the Borrower at the time of transfer. 


 

	12.4	Transfer Certificates 

  

	  	 If any Lender wishes to transfer all or any of its Commitment as contemplated in clause 12.1 then such transfer may be effected by the delivery to the
Agent of a duly completed and duly executed Transfer Certificate in which event, on the later of the Transfer Date specified in such Transfer Certificate and the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of delivery of such Transfer Certificate to the Agent: 



 

	12.4.1	to the extent that in such Transfer Certificate the Lender which is a party thereto seeks to transfer its Commitment in whole, the Borrower and such Lender shall be
released from further obligations towards each other under this Agreement and their respective rights against each other shall be cancelled other than existing claims against such Lender for breach of this Agreement (such rights, benefits and
obligations being referred to in this clause 12.4 as “discharged rights and obligations”); 

  

	12.4.2	the Borrower and the Transferee which is a party thereto shall assume obligations towards each other and/or acquire rights against each other which differ from such
discharged rights and obligations only insofar as the Borrower and such Transferee have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Borrower and such Lender; 


 

	12.4.3	the Lender Finance Parties and the Transferee shall acquire the same rights and benefits and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired
and assumed had such Transferee been an original party to this Agreement as a Lender with the rights, benefits and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of such transfer; and 


 

	12.4.4	as between the Agent and the Transferee, the Transferee shall pay to the Agent a transfer fee of three thousand Dollars ($3,000). 


  
 72 










	12.5	Power of Attorney 

  

	  	In order to give effect to each Transfer Certificate the Lender Finance Parties and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally appoint the Agent as its true
and lawful attorney with full power to execute on their respective behalves each Transfer Certificate delivered to the Agent pursuant to clause 12.4 without the Agent being under any obligation before doing so to take any further instructions from
or give any prior notice to, any of the Lender Finance Parties or, subject to the Borrower’s rights under clause 12.1, the Borrower. The Agent shall so execute each such Transfer Certificate on behalf of the other Lender Finance Parties and the
Borrower immediately on receipt of the same by the Agent pursuant to clause 12.4. 

  

	12.6	Notification 

  

	  	The Agent shall promptly notify the other Lender Finance Parties, the Transferee and the Borrower on the execution by it of any Transfer Certificate together with
details of the amount transferred, the Transfer Date and the parties to such transfer. 

  

	12.7	No Assignment or transfer by the Borrower 

  

	  	The Borrower may not assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Security Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders
and KEIC. 

  

	12.8	KEIC Buyer Credit Policy 

  

	  	Not withstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event KEIC pays the insurance proceeds in full or in part in accordance with the KEIC Buyer

Deed, (iii) the provisions of clause 9.1 of the Intercreditor Deed shall apply and (iv) with respect to the obligations of the Borrower owed to the Agent, the Security Trustee and/or the Lenders under the Security Documents (or any of

	12.9	KEIC Consent 

  

	  	A Lender may not assign or transfer its portion of the Buyer Credit or any part thereof without the consent of KEIC (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or

	13	Payments, Reserve Requirements and Illegality 

  

	13.1	Payments 

  

	  	All amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender Finance Parties under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents shall be paid to such accounts at such banks as the
Agent may from time to time direct to the Borrower and shall be paid in Dollars in same day funds (or such funds as are required by the authorities in the United States of America for settlement of international payments for immediate value).
Payments shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the date on which the Agent receives authenticated advice of receipt, unless that advice is received by the Agent on a day other than a Business Day or at a time of day (whether on a
Business Day or not) when the Agent in its reasonable discretion considers that it is impossible or impracticable for the Agent to utilise the amount received for value that same day, in which event the payment in question shall be deemed to have
been received by the Agent on the Business Day next following the date of receipt of advice by the Agent. 

  

	13.2	No deductions or withholdings 

  

	  	All payments (whether of principal or interest or otherwise) to be made by the Borrower to the Lender Finance Parties pursuant to the Security Documents shall, subject
only to clause 13.3, be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any Taxes or other deductions, withholdings, restrictions, conditions or counterclaims of any nature, and the Borrower will not claim any equity in respect of
any payment due from them to the Lender Finance Parties under or in relation to any of the Security Documents. 


  
 73 










	13.3	Grossing-up 

  

	13.3.1	If at any time any law requires (or is interpreted by any relevant fiscal authority to require) the Borrower to make any deduction or withholding from any payment, or
to change the rate or manner in which any required deduction or withholding is made, the Borrower will promptly notify the Agent and, simultaneously with making that payment, will pay to the Agent whatever additional amount (after taking into
account any additional Taxes on, or deductions or withholdings from, or restrictions or conditions on, that additional amount) is necessary to ensure that, after making the deduction or withholding, the Agent and the Lenders receive a net sum equal
to the sum which they would have received had no deduction or withholding been made. 

  

	13.3.2	If following the making of any such increased payment by the Borrower pursuant to clause 13.3.1, the Agent or any Lender determines that: 


 

	 	(a)	a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax (a “Tax Credit”) is attributable to any deduction or withholding or increased payment made
by the Borrower; and 

  

	 	(b)	it has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit, 

  

	  	the Agent or Lender (as appropriate) shall pay an amount to the Borrower which the Agent or the Lender (as appropriate) determines will leave it (after that payment) in
the same after-Tax position as it would have been had the deduction or withholding or additional payment not been required to be made. 

  

	13.4	Evidence of deductions 

  

	  	If at any time the Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment to be made by it to the Lender Finance Parties pursuant to any of
the Security Documents, the Borrower will pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant authority within the time allowed under the applicable law and will, no later than thirty (30) days after making that payment, deliver
to the Agent an original receipt issued by the relevant authority, or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Agent, evidencing the payment to that authority of all amounts required to be deducted or withheld. If the Borrower makes any deduction
or withholding from any payment to the Lender Finance Parties under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents, and a Lender subsequently receives a refund or allowance from any tax authority which that Lender at its sole discretion (acting
reasonably and in good faith) identifies as being referable to that deduction or withholding, that Lender shall within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the same, pay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount of the refund or allowance
received, if and to the extent that it may do so without prejudicing its right to retain that refund or allowance and without putting itself in any worse financial position than that in which it would have been had the deduction or withholding not
been required to have been made. Nothing in this clause 13.4 shall be interpreted as imposing any obligation on any Lender to apply for any refund or allowance nor as restricting in any way the manner in which any Lender organises its tax affairs,
nor as imposing on any Lender any obligation to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations. All costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in obtaining or seeking to obtain a refund or allowance from any
tax authority pursuant to this clause 13.4 shall be for the Borrower’s account. 

  

	13.5	Adjustment of due dates 

  

	  	If any payment to be made to the Lender Finance Parties under any of the Security Documents, other than a payment of interest on the Loan (to which clause 6.7 applies),
shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, that payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (unless the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar Month in which event the payment shall be made on the next
preceding Business Day). Any such variation of time shall be taken into account in computing any interest in respect of that payment. 


  
 74 










	13.6	Change in law 

  

	  	If, by reason of the introduction of any law, or any change in any law, or the interpretation by the relevant fiscal authority or administration of any law, or in
compliance with any request or requirement from any central bank or any fiscal, monetary or other authority:- 

  

	13.6.1	any Lender Finance Party (or the Holding Company of any Lender Finance Party) shall be subject to any Tax with respect to payments of all or any part of the Lender
Indebtedness; or 

  

	13.6.2	the basis of Taxation of payments to any Lender Finance Party in respect of all or any part of the Lender Indebtedness shall be changed (other than as a result of any
change in the applicable tax rate in the jurisdiction in which its lending office is based); or 

  

	13.6.3	any reserve requirements shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable against assets held by or deposits in or for the account of or loans by any branch of any
Lender Finance Party or its direct or indirect Holding Company; or 

  

	13.6.4	any ratio (whether cash, capital adequacy, liquidity or otherwise) which any Lender Finance Party or its direct or indirect Holding Company is required or requested to
maintain shall be affected; or 

  

	13.6.5	there is imposed on any Lender Finance Party (or on the direct or indirect Holding Company of any Lender Finance Party) any other condition in relation to the Lender
Indebtedness or the Security Documents (other than as a result of any change in the applicable tax rate in the jurisdiction in which its lending office is based); 


 

	  	and the result of any of the above shall be to increase the cost to any Lender (or to the direct or indirect Holding Company of any Lender) of that Lender making or
maintaining its Commitment or its Drawing, or to cause any Lender Finance Party to suffer (in its reasonable opinion) a material reduction in the rate of return on its overall capital below the level which it reasonably anticipated at the Execution
Date and which it would have been able to achieve but for its entering into this Agreement and/or performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Lender Finance Party affected shall notify the Agent and, on demand to the Borrower by the Agent,
the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Agent for the account of the Lender Finance Party affected the amount which shall compensate that Lender Finance Party or the Agent (or the relevant Holding Company) for such additional cost or reduced
return. A certificate signed by an authorised signatory of the Agent or of the Lender Finance Party affected setting out the amount of that payment and the basis of its calculation shall be submitted to the Borrower and shall be conclusive evidence
of such amount save for manifest error or on any question of law. 

  

	  	Notwithstanding the foregoing, this clause 13.6 does not apply to the extent any increased cost is: 


 

	 	(a)	attributable to a tax deduction required by law to be made by the Borrower; 


 

	 	(b)	fully compensated for by clause 15.7 (or would have been compensated for under clause 15.7 but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in clause
15.7 applied) or fully compensated for under any other provision of this Agreement; or 

  

	 	(c)	attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Lender Finance Party (or the Holding Company of any Lender Finance Party) or any of its or their Affiliates of any
law. 


  
 75 










	13.7	Illegality and impracticality 

  

	  	Notwithstanding anything contained in the Security Documents, the obligations of a Lender to advance or maintain its Commitment shall terminate in the event that a
change in any law or in the interpretation of any law by any authority charged with its administration shall make it unlawful for that Lender to advance or maintain its Commitment. In such event the Lender affected shall notify the Agent and the
Agent shall, by written notice to the Borrower, declare that Lender’s obligations to be immediately terminated. If all or any part of the Loan shall have been advanced by the Lenders to the Borrower, the portion of the Lender Indebtedness
(including all accrued interest and Commitment Fees) advanced by the Lender so affected shall be prepaid on the next Interest Payment Date, or sooner if illegality is determined (but no sooner than the last day of any applicable grace period
permitted by law). Clause 5.4 shall apply to that prepayment if it is made on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period. 

  

	13.8	Changes in market circumstances 

  

	  	If at any time a Lender determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that, by reason of changes affecting the London
Interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest on the Loan or any part thereof pursuant to this Agreement: 

  

	13.8.1	that Lender shall give notice to the Agent and the Agent shall give notice to the Borrower of the occurrence of such event; and 


 

	13.8.2	the Agent shall as soon as reasonably practicable certify to the Borrower in writing the effective cost to that Lender of maintaining its Commitment for such further
period as shall be selected by that Lender and the rate of interest payable by the Borrower for that period; or, if that is not acceptable to the Borrower, 


 

	13.8.3	the Agent in accordance with instructions from that Lender and subject to that Lender’s approval of any agreement between the Agent and the Borrower, will
negotiate with the Borrower in good faith with a view to modifying this Agreement to provide a substitute basis for that Lender’s Commitment which is financially a substantial equivalent to the basis provided for in this Agreement.


  

	  	If, within thirty (30) days of the giving of the notice referred to in clause 13.8.1, the Borrower and the Agent fail to agree in writing on a substitute basis for
such Lender’s Commitment the Borrower will immediately prepay the amount of such Lender’s Commitment and the Maximum Loan Amount will automatically decrease by the amount of such Commitment and such decrease shall not be reversed. Clause
5.4 shall apply to that prepayment if it is made on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period. 

  

	13.9	Non-availability of currency 

  

	  	If a Lender is for any reason unable to obtain Dollars in the London Interbank market and is, as a result, or as a result of any other contingency affecting the London
Interbank market, unable to advance or maintain its Commitment in Dollars, that Lender shall give notice to the Agent and the Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and that Lender’s obligations to make the Loan available shall immediately
cease. In that event, if all or any part of the Loan shall have been advanced by that Lender to the Borrower, the Agent in accordance with instructions from that Lender and subject to that Lender’s approval of any agreement between the Agent
and the Borrower, will negotiate with the Borrower in good faith with a view to establishing a mutually acceptable basis for funding the Loan or relevant part thereof from an alternative source. If the Agent and the Borrower have failed to agree in
writing on a basis for funding the Loan or relevant part thereof from an alternative source by 11.00 a.m. on the second Business Day prior to the end of the then current relevant Interest Period, the Borrower will (without prejudice to its other
obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, its obligation to pay interest on the Loan, arising on the expiry of the then relevant Interest Period) prepay the Lender Indebtedness (or relevant part thereof) to the
Agent on behalf of that Lender on the expiry of the then current relevant Interest Period.

	13.10.1	Each Lender Finance Party shall, subject to clause 13.10.2 below, in consultation with the Borrower, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise

to an Affiliate. 

  

	13.10.2	The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender Finance Party for all costs and expenses properly incurred by that Lender Finance Party as a result of steps taken by it under

further amount in the Currency of Account as is sufficient to satisfy in full the amount due and that further amount shall be due to the Agent on behalf of the Lender Finance Parties as a separate debt under this Agreement.

	    	The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender Finance Parties from time to time on demand against all losses and costs incurred or sustained by any Lender Finance Party if,

Drawdown Notice, including (without limitation), any Break Costs. 

  

	15.5	Protection and enforcement 

  

	15.5.1	The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender Finance Parties and KEIC from time to time on demand against all losses, costs and liabilities which any Lender Finance Party or

exercise by the Lender Finance Parties or KEIC of any of the rights, powers, discretions or remedies vested in them under or arising out of the Security Documents, including (without limitation) any losses, costs and liabilities which any Lender
Finance Party or KEIC may from time to time sustain, incur or become liable for by reason of any Lender Finance or KEIC Party being mortgagees of the Vessel, assignees of any Mortgage and/or a Lender to the Borrower, or by reason of any Lender
Finance Party or KEIC being deemed by any court or authority to be an operator or controller, or in any way concerned in the operation or control, of the Vessel. No such indemnity will be given to a Lender Finance Party or KEIC where any such loss,
cost or liability has occurred due to wilful misconduct or recklessness with knowledge of the probable consequences on the part of that Lender Finance Party or KEIC; however this shall not affect the right of any other Lender Finance Party or KEIC
to receive any such indemnity. 

  

	15.5.2	The Agent shall: 

  

	 	(a)	notify the Borrower in writing of any claim made against it of which it is aware which is likely to give rise to such losses, costs and liabilities;


  

	 	(b)	unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, consult, in good faith with the Borrower, in respect of such claim until such date as the Lender Finance
Party is obliged to satisfy or discharge such claim and not enter into any settlement or other compromise in respect of such claim without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
unless the Lender Finance Parties expressly waive in writing their right to be indemnified in respect of such losses, costs and liabilities;

reduce the losses, costs and liabilities which may be incurred; and 

  

	 	(d)	unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, give the Borrower a reasonable opportunity to take such action, at the Borrower’s cost, as the Borrower
deems fit to defend or avoid any liability being incurred or to take action against a third party in respect of any losses (provided that the Borrower may not take any action in the name of the Lender Finance Party without that Lender Finance
Party’s prior written consent nor may the Borrower take any action which would involve risk of criminal or civil liability to the Lender Finance Parties or any material risk of the sale, loss or forfeiture of the Vessel).



  
 79 










	15.5.3	The indemnities in this clause 15.5 shall not extend to any claim or liability of a Lender Finance Party to the extent that such claim or liability arises from an act
or omission on the part of that Lender Finance Party which constitutes gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of such Lender Finance Party. 

  

	15.6	Liabilities of Lender Finance Parties 

  

	    	The Borrower will from time to time reimburse the Lender Finance Parties on demand for all sums which any Lender Finance Party may pay on account of any of the Security

in respect of the Insurances, any expenses incurred by any Lender Finance Party in connection with the maintenance or repair of the Vessel or in discharging any lien, bond or other claim relating in any way to the Vessel, and any sums which any

	15.7	Taxes 

  

	    	The Borrower shall pay all Taxes imposed on the Lender Finance Parties in respect of the Security Documents or to which all or any part of the Lender Indebtedness or
any of the Security Documents or the Project Documents may be at any time subject and shall indemnify the Lender Finance Parties on demand against all liabilities, costs, claims and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including but not
limited to any such liabilities, costs, claims and expenses resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such Taxes. Provided that the indemnification in this clause 15.7 shall not apply to the extent that the Taxes imposed on a Lender
Finance Party arose directly or indirectly from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Lender Finance Party. The indemnity contained in this clause 15.7 shall survive the repayment of the Lender Indebtedness. 


 

	15.8	Value Added Tax 

  

	    	All amounts set out, or expressed to be payable by the Borrower to the Lender Finance Parties pursuant to the Security Documents which (in whole or in part) constitute
consideration for a supply for Value Added Tax purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any Value Added Tax which is chargeable on such supply, and accordingly, if Value Added Tax is chargeable on any supply made by any Lender Finance Party to a
Borrower under a Security Document, that Borrower shall pay to the Lender Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the Value Added Tax. 


 

	15.9	KEIC Indemnity

Finance Parties) incurred by the Lender Finance Parties in connection with the implementation of the lease finance structure. 

  

	16.2	Waivers 

  

	    	No failure or delay on the part of any Lender Finance Party in exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents, nor
any actual or alleged course of dealing between any Lender Finance Party and any of the Security Parties, shall operate as a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any default on the part of any Security Party, unless expressly agreed to do so in writing by
the Agent, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Lender Finance Party of any right, power, discretion or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of that right, power, discretion or remedy, or the exercise by a Lender Finance Party of
any other right, power, discretion or remedy. 

  

	16.3	No variations 

  

	    	No variation or amendment of any of the Security Documents shall be valid unless made by each party thereto and in accordance with the terms thereof and consented to in

	    	If at any time any provision of any of the Security Documents is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect that provision shall be severed from the remainder and

	16.5	Successors etc. 

  

	    	The Security Documents shall be binding on the Security Parties and on their successors and permitted transferees and assignees, and shall inure to the benefit of the
Lender Finance Parties and KEIC in respect of their rights and their respective successors, transferees and assignees. 

  

	16.6	Further assurance 

  

	    	If any provision of the Security Documents shall be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by reason of any present or future law or any decision of any court,
then from time to time the Borrower will promptly, following a demand by the Agent, execute or procure the execution of such further documents as in the reasonable opinion of the Lenders are necessary to provide valid and enforceable security for
the repayment of the Lender Indebtedness, provided that with respect to any further document relating to the Time Charter, the Borrower shall only be required to procure the execution of such documents on a reasonable endeavours basis.



  
 81 










	16.7	Other arrangements 

  

	    	The Lender Finance Parties may, without prejudice to their rights under or pursuant to the Security Documents, at any time and from time to time, on such terms and
conditions as they may in their discretion determine, and with notice to the Borrower, grant time or other indulgence to, or compound with, any other person liable (actually or contingently) to the Lender Finance Parties or any of them in respect of
all or any part of the Lender Indebtedness, and may release or renew negotiable instruments and take and release securities and hold funds on realisation or suspense account without affecting the liabilities of the Borrower or the rights of the
Lender Finance Parties under or pursuant to the Security Documents. 

  

	16.8	Advisers 

  

	    	The Borrower irrevocably authorises the Agent, at any time and from time to time during the Facility Period, to consult insurance advisers on any matters relating to
the Insurances, including, without limitation, the collection of insurance claims, and from time to time to consult or retain advisers or consultants to monitor or advise on any other claims relating to the Vessel. Subject to clause 9.1.22 the
Borrower will provide such advisers and consultants with all information and documents which they may from time to time reasonably require. In the event that such advisers or consultants discover that the Borrower is in breach of its obligations in
relation to the Insurances or at the time of or during such consultation or retention there occurs an Event of Default which is continuing unremedied or unwaived, then the Borrower will reimburse the Agent on demand for all reasonable costs and
expenses properly incurred by the Agent in connection with the consultation or retention of such advisers or consultants, but such consultation or retention shall otherwise be at the Lender Finance Parties’ own cost and expense.


  

	16.9	Delegation 

  

	    	The Lender Finance Parties may at any time and from time to time delegate to any person any of their rights, powers, discretions and remedies pursuant to the Security

	    	Every right, power, discretion and remedy conferred on the Lender Finance Parties under or pursuant to the Security Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to

appropriate subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders. The exercise or the beginning of the exercise of any right, power, discretion or remedy shall not be interpreted as a waiver of the right to exercise any other
right, power, discretion or remedy either simultaneously or subsequently. 

  

	16.11	No enquiry 

  

	    	The Lender Finance Parties shall not be concerned to enquire into the powers of the Security Parties or of any person purporting to act on behalf of any of the Security
Parties, even if any of the Security Parties or any such person shall have acted in excess of their powers or if their actions shall have been irregular, defective or informal, whether or not any Lender Finance Parties had notice thereof.



  
 82 










	16.12	Continuing security 

  

	    	The security constituted by the Security Documents shall be continuing and shall not be satisfied by any intermediate payment or satisfaction until the Indebtedness
shall have been repaid in full and none of the Lender Finance Parties shall be under any further actual or contingent liability to any third party in relation to the Vessel, the Insurances, Earnings or Requisition Compensation or any other matter
referred to in the Security Documents. 

  

	16.13	Security cumulative 

  

	    	The security constituted by the Security Documents shall be in addition to any other security now or in the future held by the Lender Finance Parties or any of them for
or in respect of all or any part of the Lender Indebtedness, and shall not merge with or prejudice or be prejudiced by any such security or any other contractual or legal rights of any of the Lender Finance Parties, nor affected by any irregularity,
defect or informality, or by any release, exchange or variation of any such security. Section 93 of the Law of Property Act 1925 and all provisions which the Agent considers analogous thereto under the law of any other relevant jurisdiction
shall not apply to the security constituted by the Security Documents. 

  

	16.14	No liability 

  

	    	None of the Lender Finance Parties, nor any agent or employee of any Lender Finance Party, nor any receiver and/or manager appointed by the Agent, shall be liable for
any losses which may be incurred in or about the exercise of any of the rights, powers, discretions or remedies of the Lender Finance Parties under or pursuant to the Security Documents nor liable as mortgagee in possession for any loss on
realisation or for any neglect or default of any nature for which a mortgagee in possession might otherwise be liable unless such Lender Finance Party’s action constitutes wilful misconduct or recklessness with knowledge of the probable
consequences. 

  

	16.15	Rescission of payments etc. 

  

	    	Any discharge, release or reassignment by any of the Lender Finance Parties of any of the security constituted by, or any of the obligations of any Security Party
contained in, any of the Security Documents shall be (and be deemed always to have been) void if any act (including, without limitation, any payment) as a result of which such discharge, release or reassignment was given or made is subsequently
wholly or partially rescinded or avoided by operation of any law, unless such Lender Finance Party’s action constitutes wilful misconduct or recklessness with knowledge of the probable consequences. 


 

	16.16	Subsequent Encumbrances 

  

	    	If the Agent receives notice of any subsequent Encumbrance (other than any Permitted Encumbrance) affecting the Vessel or all or any part of the Insurances, Earnings or
Requisition Compensation, the Agent may open a new account in its books for the Borrower. If the Agent does not open a new account, then (unless the Encumbrance is a Permitted Encumbrance or the Agent gives written notice to the contrary to the
Borrower) as from the time of receipt by the Agent of notice of such subsequent Encumbrance, all payments made to the Agent shall be treated as having been credited to a new account of the Borrower and not as having been applied in reduction of the
Lender Indebtedness. 

  

	16.17	Releases 

  

	    	If any Lender Finance Party shall at any time in its discretion release any party from all or any part of any of the Security Documents or from any term, covenant,
clause, condition or obligation contained in any of the Security Documents, the liability of any other party to the Security Documents shall not be varied or diminished. 


  
 83 










	16.18	Certificates 

  

	    	Any certificate or statement signed by an authorised signatory of the Agent purporting to show the amount of the Lender Indebtedness (or any part of the Lender
Indebtedness) or any other amount referred to in any of the Security Documents shall, save for manifest error or on any question of law, be conclusive evidence as against the Borrower of that amount. 


 

	16.19	Survival of representations and warranties 

  

	    	The representations and warranties on the part of the Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution of this Agreement and the advance of the Loan or
any part thereof.

	    	This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be original but which shall together constitute the same instrument.


  

	16.21	Third Party Rights 

  

	    	Notwithstanding the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, no term of this Agreement is enforceable by a person who is not a party to it other
than (a) KEIC in respect of its rights under this Agreement and (b) the Account Bank in respect of its rights under clause 7.5. 

  

	16.22	Building Contract Disputes 

  

	    	The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Agreement are independent from the Building Contract and that the performance of these obligations
shall in no event be affected by any dispute whatsoever that may arise between the Builder and the Borrower in relation to the Building Contract or in any other respect. 


 

	16.23	Confidentiality 

  

	    	At all times during the Facility Period, the Borrower shall keep confidential any Confidential Information (as defined below) relating to the Relevant Documents (other
than the Project Documents) and each of the Lender Finance Parties shall keep confidential any Confidential Information (as defined below) relating to the Relevant Documents, and none of the Borrower or the Lender Finance Parties shall, without the
prior written consent of the other(s): 

  

	16.23.1	issue any press release or make any other public announcement or statement in relation to the transactions evidenced by this Agreement and the other Relevant Documents;
or 

  

	16.23.2	disclose to any other person (i) any information or document relating to the Angola LNG Project in general, including but not limited to, technical and schedule
requirements, and progress and status of the Angola LNG Project; (ii) financial details of this Agreement or any other Relevant Document or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Relevant Document or any other agreement
after the date of this Agreement by the Borrower or the Lender Finance Parties in connection with this Agreement or any other Relevant Document or (iii) any information provided pursuant to any of the Relevant Documents; or


  

	16.23.3	release copies of drafts of this Agreement or any other Relevant Document which disclose or reveal the identity of the parties (or any of them),


  

	    	 the information contemplated by clauses 16.23.1 to 16.23.3 above being “Confidential Information”.




  
 84 









 Provided that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause 16.22 the parties
shall be entitled, without any such consent, to disclose such Confidential Information: 
  

	 	(a)	if the same is already known to the receiving person at the time of disclosure as shown by the receiving person’s files and records immediately prior to that

	    	For the exclusive benefit of the Lender Finance Parties, the parties to this Agreement irrevocably agree that the English courts are to have jurisdiction to settle any
disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and that any legal actions or proceedings may be brought in those courts. The Borrower irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or in the future have to the laying of the
venue of any legal actions or proceedings in any court referred to in this clause 17.2, and any claim that such legal actions or proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient or inappropriate forum. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally
submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and shall within five (5) Business Days of the date hereof irrevocably designate, appoint and empower an agent to receive for it and on its behalf, service of process issued out of the English courts
in any such legal actions or proceedings and shall provide the Facility Agent with details of such agent. The submission to such jurisdiction shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of any of the Lender Finance Parties to
take legal actions or proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any other competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking of legal actions or proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of legal actions or proceedings in
other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not. 

  

	    	The parties further agree that only the courts of England and not those of any other state or jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction to determine any claim which the
Borrower may have against any of the Lender Finance Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. 


IN WITNESS of which the parties to this Agreement have executed this Agreement the day and year first before written.

 Schedule 6 
 Calculation of the Mandatory Cost 
  

	1	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate the Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or
the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 


 

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

  

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

  

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


 

					
			
		 	Ex 0.01	 	    per cent. per annum.
		 	300	 	

 Where E is the rate of charge payable by a Lender to the Financial Services Authority under the Fees Rules
in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by the Agent as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Lender for that financial year). The resulting figure shall be rounded
to four (4) decimal places. 
  

	5	For the purposes of this Schedule: 

  

	 	(a)	“Eligible Liabilities and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to
the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; 

  

	 	(b)	“Loan Office” means the office notified by a Lender to the Agent in writing on or before the date it becomes a Lender as the office
through which it will perform its obligations under the Agreement; 

  

	 	(c)	“Fee Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual 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; 

  

	 	(d)	“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 Fee Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and 

  

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

  

	 	(f)	“Parties” means any party to the Agreement, including its successors in title permitted assigns and permitted transferees; and


  

	 	(g)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 


 

	6	If requested by the Agent, each Lender shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge
payable by that Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs
applicable to that Lender for that financial year). 


  
 107










	7	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each
Lender Shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: 

 (a) the
jurisdiction of its Loan Office; and 
 (b) any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

 Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

  

	8	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7
above and on the assumption that, unless the Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of
incorporation with a Loan Office in the same jurisdiction as in its Loan Office. 

  

	9	The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be
entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects. 

  

	10	The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender
based on the information provided by each Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above. 

  

	11	Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall,
in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties. 

  

	12	The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made
to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which
replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
