in the Loan or it becomes unlawful for any Affiliate of a Lender for that Lender to do so:



 


		7.1.1	without limitation to the Agent’s right under Clause 7.1.2 to cancel immediately, that Lender
shall promptly notify the Agent upon becoming aware of that event and shall use its reasonable endeavours to change its lending
office within ten (10) Business Days from the date thereof;



 


		7.1.2	upon the expiry of ten (10) Business Days from the time the Agent is notified by the Lender of
the relevant Illegality and provided the Lender has been unable to change its lending office and/or otherwise to remedy such Illegality,
the Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing that the Commitment of that Lender will be immediately cancelled; and



 


		7.1.3	the Borrower shall repay that Lender’s participation in any Drawing on the last day of its
current Interest Period or, if earlier, the date specified by that Lender in the notice delivered to the Agent and notified by
the Agent to the Borrower (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law) and the Maximum
Loan Amount shall be reduced by the amount of that Lender’s Commitment in the Loan.



 


		7.2	Voluntary cancellation The Borrower may, if it gives the Agent not less than three (3) Business
Days’ (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior notice, cancel the whole or any part (being a minimum
amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) of the undrawn amount of the Loan. Any cancellation under this Clause 7.2 shall reduce
the Commitments of the Lenders rateably and will be applied in order of maturity.

(but, if in part, being an amount that reduces that Drawing by an amount which is an integral multiple of one million dollars ($1,000,000)

prior notice.




    	Page 32



    	



    



		7.4	Right of cancellation and prepayment in relation to a single Lender

that Lender’s participation in each Drawing (“Repayment Notice”).

that repayment notice), the Borrower shall repay that Lender’s participation in that Drawing together with all interest and
other amounts accrued under the Finance Documents.



 


		7.4.4	For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower has the right to send its Cancellation Notice and its
Repayment Notice in one notice.



 


		7.5	Mandatory prepayment on sale or Total Loss If a Vessel is sold by a Collateral Owner (subject
to Clause 7.6 (Vessel substitution)) or becomes a Total Loss, the Borrower shall, simultaneously with any such sale or on
the earlier of the date falling 150 days after any such Total Loss and the date on which the proceeds of any such Total Loss are
realised, prepay the Loan in an amount which equals the Market Value of that Vessel, divided by the aggregate Market Value of all
Vessels multiplied by the Maximum Loan Amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) and the Maximum Loan Amount shall be
reduced by such Prepayment Amount and an amount of the Maximum Loan Amount equal to that Prepayment Amount shall be cancelled and
shall not be available for reborrowing unless Clause 7.6 (Vessel Substitution) applies. The calculation of the Market Value
for the purpose of this Clause will be based on valuations not older than thirty days prior to the date of such prepayment.



 


Following
such prepayment and reduction, the Collateral Owner which owns that Vessel, at the cost of and on the request of the Borrower,
will be released from its obligations under the Loan Agreement the Security Documents to which it is a party, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing.


 


Any prepayment
under this Clause will be applied in order of maturity.

“Disposed Vessel”), the Borrower may (and, if the Borrower




    	Page 33



    	



    



decides
to provide a Replacement Vessel, it shall procure that the Replacement Collateral Owner and each other Security Party shall) on
the date falling no later than 150 days after any such sale or Total Loss (the “Substitution Period”), without
any requirement for cancellation:-


 


		(a)	replace the Disposed Vessel with a Replacement Vessel;



 


		(b)	promptly do all such acts or execute all such documents (including agreements, assignments, transfers,
mortgages, charges, notices and instructions) as the Security Agent may reasonably specify (and in such form as the Security Agent
may reasonably require in favour of the Security Agent); and



 


		(c)	provide to the Agent such applicable documents and other evidence listed in Schedule 2 in relation
to that Replacement Collateral Owner, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

Substitution Period the Maximum Loan Amount shall be temporarily reduced in accordance with clause 7.5 (Mandatory prepayment
on sale or Total Loss).

to the extent required to ensure that the aggregate amount of the Drawings outstanding does not exceed the reduced Maximum Loan
Amount.



 


		7.8	Right of cancellation in relation to a Defaulting Lender If any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, the Borrower may, at any time whilst the Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender, give the Agent 5 Business Days’
notice of cancellation of the Commitment of that Lender. On that notice becoming effective, the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender
shall immediately be reduced to zero. The Agent shall as soon as practicable after receipt of that notice notify all the Lenders.



 


		7.9	Restrictions Any notice of prepayment or cancellation given under this Clause 7 shall be
irrevocable and, unless a contrary indication appears in this




    	Page 34



    	



    



Agreement,

or cancellation.

Agreement shall be made together with accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, subject to any Break Costs, without premium or
penalty.


 


The Borrower shall not repay,
prepay or cancel all or any part of the Loan except at the times and in the manner expressly provided for in this Agreement.

    	Page 35



    	



    



	Section 5	Costs of Utilisation



 


		8	Interest



 


		8.1	Calculation of interest The rate of interest on each Drawing for the Interest Period in
respect of that Drawing is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:



 


		8.1.1	Margin;



 


		8.1.2	LIBOR; and



 


		8.1.3	Mandatory Cost, if any.



 


		8.2	Payment of interest The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Drawing on the last
day of the Interest Period in respect of that Drawing (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six months, on the dates falling
at six monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).



 


		8.3	Default interest If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document
on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and
after judgment) at a rate which is two per cent higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during
the period of non-payment, constituted a Drawing in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of
a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable
by the Borrower on demand by the Agent.



 


Default interest (if unpaid)
arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue
amount but will remain immediately due and payable.


 


		8.4	Notification of rates of interest The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the determination
of a rate of interest under this Agreement.



 


		9	Interest Periods



 


		9.1	Selection of Interest Periods The Borrower may select in a written notice to the Agent the
duration of the Interest Period for each Drawing subject as follows:



 


		9.1.1	each notice is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Agent by the Borrower not later than 11.00
a.m. on the Quotation Day;



 


		9.1.2	if the Borrower fails to give a notice in accordance with Clause 9.1.1, the relevant Interest Period
will, subject to Clause 9.2 (Non-Business Days), be three months;



 


		9.1.3	subject to this Clause 9, the Borrower may select an Interest Period of 3, 6 or 12 months or any
other period agreed between the Borrower and the Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders);




    	Page 36



    	



    



		9.1.4	an Interest Period shall not extend beyond the Termination Date; and



 


		9.1.5	each Interest Period shall start on the Drawdown Date in respect of the Drawing and end on the
date which numerically corresponds to the Drawdown Date in the relevant calendar month except that, if there is no numerically
corresponding date in that calendar month, the Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day in that month.



 


		9.2	Non-Business Days If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business
Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business
Day (if there is not).



 


		10	Changes to the Calculation of Interest



 


		10.1	Absence of quotations Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to
be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11.00 am on the Quotation
Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.



 


		10.2	Market disruption If a Market Disruption Event occurs for any Interest Period, then the
rate of interest on each Lender’s share of the relevant Drawing for that Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per
annum which is the sum of:



 


		10.2.1	the Margin;



 


		10.2.2	the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event by close
of business on the date falling three Business Days after the Quotation Day (or, if earlier, on the date falling three Business
Days prior to the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period), to be that which expresses as a
percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the relevant Drawing from whatever source it
may reasonably select; and



 


		10.2.3	the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s participation in the relevant Drawing.



 


In this Agreement “Market
Disruption Event” means:


 


		(a)	at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period LIBOR is to be determined
by reference to the Reference Banks and none of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR for dollars
and the relevant Interest Period; or



 


		(b)	before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent
receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in the relevant Drawing exceed fifty per cent (50%) of that
Drawing) that the cost to it of




    	Page 37



    	



    



funding
its participation in that Drawing from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of LIBOR.


 


		10.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding



 


		10.3.1	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Agent and the

make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law, subject as follows:



 


		12.2.1	the Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that it or any other Security Party must make a
Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly,

		(i)	the relevant Lender has not given a Tax Confirmation to the Borrower; and



 


		(ii)	the payment could have been made to the Lender without any Tax Deduction if the Lender had given
a Tax Confirmation to the Borrower, on the basis that the Tax Confirmation would have enabled the Borrower to have formed a reasonable
belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the ITA; or



 


		(d)	the relevant Lender is a Treaty Lender and the Borrower or the other Security Party making the
payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to that Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied

Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority;



 


	12.2.6    	 (a)	 Subject to (b), a Treaty Lender and the Borrower shall co-operate (and the Borrower shall
                                                       procure that each other Security Party which makes a payment to which that Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate) in
                                                       completing any procedural formalities necessary for the Borrower or that other Security Party to obtain authorisation to
                                                       make that payment without a Tax Deduction.

Original Lenders); and

residence in the Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement which it executes,



 


and, having done so, that
Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to (a).


 


		12.2.7	If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in
accordance with Clause 12.2.6(b) and:



 


		(a)	the Borrower making a payment to that Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of
that Lender; or



 


		(b)	the Borrower making a payment to that Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that
Lender but:



 


		(i)	that Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or



 


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



 


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


 


		12.2.8	If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in
accordance with Clause 12.2.6(b), the Borrower shall not make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC
DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in the Loan unless the Lender otherwise
agrees.



 


		12.2.9	The Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that Borrower

the position from that set out in the Tax Confirmation.



 


		12.3	Tax indemnity



 


		12.3.1	The Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Protected Party
an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly)
suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.



 


		12.3.2	Clause 12.3.1 shall not apply:



 


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



 


		(i)	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



 


		(ii)	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


 


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



 


		(i)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up);



 


		(ii)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up)
but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Clause 12.2.3 (Tax gross-up) applied; or



 


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



 


		12.3.3	A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under Clause 12.3.1 shall promptly notify
the Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall notify the Borrower.

		12.4	Tax Credit If the Borrower or any other Security Party makes a Tax Payment and the relevant
Finance Party determines that:



 


		12.4.1	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 required; and



 


		12.4.2	that Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,



 


that Finance Party shall pay
an amount to the Borrower or to that other Security Party 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 made by the Borrower or that other Security
Party.


 


		12.5	Lender status confirmation Each Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the
date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement which it executes on becoming a Party,
and for the benefit of the Agent and without liability to any Security Party, which of the following categories it falls in:



 


		12.5.1	not a Qualifying Lender;



 


		12.5.2	a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or



 


		12.5.3	a Treaty Lender.



 


If a New Lender fails to indicate
its status in accordance with this Clause 12.5 then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including
by each Security Party) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and
the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate or
Assignment Agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause 12.5.


 


		12.6	Stamp taxes The Borrower shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify
each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and
other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.



 


		12.7	VAT



 


		12.7.1	All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party or any Security Party
to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive
of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to Clause 12.7.2, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any
supply made by any Finance Party to any Party or any Security Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required
to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party or Security 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




    	Page 45



    	



    



the amount
of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to the Borrower).


 


		12.7.2	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):



 


		(a)	(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT)
the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount
of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this Clause 12.7.2(a) 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



 


		(b)	(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.



 


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



 


		12.7.4	Any reference in this Clause 12.7 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as
a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the
representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the
Value Added Tax Act 1994).



 


		12.7.5	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.

		12.8	FATCA information



 


		12.8.1	Subject to Clause 12.8.3, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by
another Party:



 


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



 


		(i)	a FATCA Exempt Party; or



 


		(ii)	not a FATCA Exempt Party;



 


		(b)	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



 


		(c)	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.



 


		12.8.2	If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to Clause 12.8.1(a)(i) that it is a FATCA Exempt
Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other
Party reasonably promptly.



 


		12.8.3	Clause 12.8.1 shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and Clause 12.8.1(c) shall not
oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:



 


		(a)	any law or regulation;



 


		(b)	any fiduciary duty; or



 


		(c)	any duty of confidentiality.



 


		12.8.4	If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation
or other information requested in accordance with Clause 12.8.1(a) or Clause 12.8.1(b) (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
where Clause 12.8.3 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.



 


		12.9	FATCA Deduction



 


		12.9.1	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.




    	Page 47



    	



    



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



 


		13	Increased Costs



 


		13.1	Increased costs Subject to Clause 13.3 (Exceptions) the Borrower shall, within three
Business Days of a demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Costs incurred
by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of (i) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation,
administration or application of) any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation or any request from or requirement
of any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority, in each case, made after the date of this Agreement (including
Basel III (as defined in Clause 13.3) and any other which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the
manner in which that Finance Party allocates capital resources to obligations under this Agreement and/or the Master Agreement)
or (iii) any change in the risk weight allocated by that Finance Party to the Borrower after the date of this Agreement.



 


In this Agreement “Increased
Costs” means:


 


		(a)	a reduction in the rate of return from the Loan or on a Finance Party’s (or its Affiliate’s)
overall capital;



 


		(b)	an additional or increased cost; or



 


		(c)	a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Finance Document,



 


which is incurred or suffered
by a Finance Party or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Finance Party having entered into any
Finance Document or funding or performing its obligations under any Finance Document.


 


		13.2	Increased cost claims



 


		13.2.1	A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to Clause 13.1 (Increased costs) shall
notify the Agent of the event giving rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower.



 


		13.2.2	Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate
confirming the amount of its Increased Costs in reasonable detail, provided that the relevant Finance Party shall be under no obligation
to disclose any information which it in its absolute discretion deems to be confidential to its business.



 


		13.3	Exceptions Clause 13.1 (Increased costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased
Cost is:




    	Page 48



    	



    



		13.3.1	attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by the Borrower;



 


		13.3.2	attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party;



 


		13.3.3	compensated for by Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated
for under Clause 12.3 but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in Clause 12.3 applied);



 


		13.3.4	compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost;



 


		13.3.5	attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance Party or its Affiliates of any law or
regulation; or



 


		13.3.6	attributable to an election made by the relevant Finance Party voluntarily.



 


In this Clause 13.3, a reference
to a “Tax Deduction” has the same meaning given to the term in Clause 12.1 (Definitions) and “Basel
III” means (a) the agreements on capital requirements, a leverage ratio and liquidity standards contained in “Basel
III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems”, “Basel III: International framework
for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring” and “Guidance for national authorities operating the countercyclical
capital buffer” published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in December 2010, each as amended, supplemented or
restated, (b) the rules for global systemically important banks contained in “Global systemically important banks: assessment
methodology and the additional loss absorbency requirement – Rules text” published by the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision in November 2011 and (c) any further guidance or standards published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
relating to “Basel III”.


 


		14	Other Indemnities



 


		14.1	Currency indemnity If any sum due from the Borrower under the Finance Documents (a “Sum”),

Currency”) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the “Second Currency”) for the purpose
of:



 


		14.1.1	making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower, or



 


		14.1.2	obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration
proceedings,

at the time of its receipt of that Sum.



    	Page 49

of the Security Documents) the Security Agent or any Receiver or Delegate may retain any such moneys by crediting them to a suspense
account for so long and in such manner as the Security Agent or such Receiver or Delegate may from time to time determine with
a view to preserving the rights of the Finance Parties or any of them to prove for the whole of the Indebtedness (or any relevant
part) against the Borrower or any other person liable.



 


		17.10	Additional security If at any time the aggregate of the Market Value of the Vessels and
the value of any additional security (such value to be the face amount of the deposit (in the case of cash) and determined conclusively
by appropriate advisers appointed by the Agent, in the case of other additional security provided under Clause 17.10.2), for the
time being provided to the Security Agent under this Clause 17.10 is less than 120% of the aggregate of the amount of the Loan
then outstanding and the amount certified by the Swap Provider to be the negative mark-to-market at the time for any derivative
products entered into by the Borrower with the Swap Provider (the “VTL Coverage”), the Borrower shall, within
30 days of the Agent’s request, at the Borrower’s option do one or more of the following:

mutandis, to any prepayment made under this Clause 17.10.


 


If, at any time after the Borrower
has provided additional security in accordance with the Agent’s request under this Clause 17.10 and the Agent has determined,
when testing compliance with the VTL Coverage, that all or any part of that additional security may be released without resulting
in a shortfall in the VTL Coverage (after the Agent has tested such VTL Coverage compliance by excluding such additional security
from such calculation), and provided that such compliance has been sustained continuously for a period of three months, then the
Security Agent shall effect a release of all or any part of that additional security in accordance with the Agent’s instructions,
but this shall be without prejudice to the Agent’s right to make a further request under this Clause 17.10 should the value
of the remaining security subsequently merit it.


 


		17.11	Market Value Determination For the purpose of the Security Documents, the aggregate
market value of the Vessels or, as the context may require, a Group Vessel, shall be the value certified by one Approved Shipbroker,
or, if the Agent requires, the average value certified by two Approved Shipbrokers. If there is a difference between the two valuations
in excess of ten per cent, then the Agent shall select a third firm of Approved Shipbrokers and the market value of a Vessel or
a Group Vessel shall be determined by the average of the three valuations.



 


Each Approved
Shipbroker appointed under this Agreement shall report directly to the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and shall be appointed
by the Borrower not later than five (5) days after the Agent’s request for the Borrower to appoint such Approved Shipbrokers.
In the event that the Borrower fails to appoint such Approved Shipbrokers within five (5) days after the Agent’s request
to do so or if a broker appointed by the Borrower is not approved by the Agent and the Borrower fails to appoint an alternative
broker who is approved by the Agent within such five (5) day period, the Borrower irrevocably authorises the Agent to appoint brokers
in its discretion to conduct such valuations, with such brokers to be subsequently considered as Approved Shipbrokers.


 


All valuations pursuant to
this Clause 17.11 (Market Value determination) shall be made for the purposes of Clause 17.10 (Additional Security)
on the basis of a sale of a Vessel or a Group Vessel (as applicable) for prompt delivery for cash at arm’s length on normal
commercial terms by a willing seller to a willing buyer free of the value of any existing charter or of any other contract of employment.


 


For the purposes of assessing
compliance with the Financial Covenants of Clause 20 (Financial Covenants), the valuations of a Vessel or a Group Vessel
shall be on the basis of a sale for prompt delivery for cash at arm’s length on normal commercial terms by a willing seller
to a willing buyer and shall include the value of an Acceptable Charter, if an Acceptable Charter is in full force and effect at
the relevant time and provided that evidence thereof is provided to the Agent upon such Acceptable Charter coming in to force and
in form and substance acceptable to the Agent. If an Acceptable Charter is not in force, any valuations for the purposes of Clause
20 (Financial Covenants) shall be made on a charter-free basis.



    	Page 57



    	



    



For the purpose of the Security
Documents, the Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to accept any and all valuations determining the market value of
a Vessel or any other Group Vessel obtained pursuant to this Clause 17.11 (Market Value determination) and such determination
shall be conclusive evidence of a Vessel’s or any other Group Vessel’s (as the case may be) market value at the date
of such valuation.


 


		17.12	Cost of valuation The Borrower shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred by the
Agent in obtaining (a) up to six valuations in each calendar year of the Facility Period, three such valuations to be provided
by the Borrower semi-annually and another three annually throughout the Facility Period and within fifteen calendar days after
the end of the months of December and June of each calendar year required for the purposes of determining the Market Value of the
Vessels pursuant to Clause 17.11 (Market Value determination), (b) any and all valuations required for the purposes
of Clause 17.10.2 (Additional Security), if the additional security comprises a Vessel (c) any valuations required pursuant
to Schedule 2, Part I clause 2(e) and Part III clause 2 (f), and (d) for any additional valuations required by the Agent in its
discretion following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. All such valuations issued in respect of
the Vessels shall be addressed to, and obtained by, the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders). Valuations issued in respect of a Group
Vessel which is encumbered with a mortgage, shall be addressed to the mortgagee or relevant lender of that Group Vessel, and in
respect of a Group Vessel which is not encumbered with a mortgage, shall be addressed to the relevant owner or managers of that
Group Vessel.

	Section 9	Changes to Parties



 


		23	Changes to the Lenders



 


		23.1	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders Subject to this Clause 23, a Lender (the “Existing
Lender”) may:



 


		23.1.1	assign any of its rights; or



 


		23.1.2	transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,



 


under any Finance Document
to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the
purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the “New Lender”).


 


		23.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer



 


		23.2.1	No assignment or transfer in accordance with Clause 23.1 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders)
can be made without the Borrower’s prior written consent unless it is:



 


		(a)	to an Affiliate of the Original Lender; or



 


		(b)	to a bank or financial institution and is made 60 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default
pursuant to Clause 22.1.1 (Non-payment) which is continuing; or



 


		(c)	to a trust or fund and is made 270 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to
Clause 22.1.1 (Non-payment) which is continuing.



 


		23.2.2	In the cases where the prior written consent of the Borrower is required for an assignment or transfer
under Clause 23.2.1, the consent of the Borrower must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such assignment or transfer is
to a bank or financial institution which has experience in providing financing to the shipping industry.



 


		23.2.3	An assignment will only be effective on:



 


		(a)	receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory
to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if
it was an Original Lender; and



 


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



 


		23.2.4	A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 23.5 (Procedure for transfer)
is complied with.




    	Page 80



    	



    



		23.2.5	If:



 


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



 


		(b)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the
Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 12
(Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or Clause 13 (Increased Costs),



 


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 Clause 23.2.5 shall not apply:


 


		(c)	in relation to Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up), to a Treaty Lender that has included a confirmation
of its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Clause 12.2.6(b)(ii) (Tax gross-up)
if the Borrower making the payment has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Treaty Lender.



 


		23.2.6	Each New Lender confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has authority to execute on
its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with

and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.



 


		23.3	Assignment or transfer fee Unless the Agent otherwise agrees and excluding an assignment
or transfer (i) to an Affiliate of a Lender, (ii) to a Related Fund or (iii) made in connection with primary syndication of the

under the Relevant Documents or any other documents; or




    	Page 81



    	



    



		(d)	the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any of the
Relevant Documents or any other document,



 


and any representations or
warranties implied by law are excluded.

		(a)	has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial
condition and affairs of each Security Party 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 in connection with any of the Relevant Documents;

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

		(a)	accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned
or transferred under this Clause 23; or



 


		(b)	support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance
by any Security Party of its obligations under the Relevant Documents or otherwise.

		23.5.1	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 23.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer)

Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.



 


		23.5.2	The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing

Documents and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);


 


		(b)	the Borrower 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 the Borrower and the New Lender have
assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Borrower and the Existing Lender;



 


		(c)	the Agent, the Security Agent, the Arranger, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the
same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been

		25.10	Exclusion of liability



 


		25.10.1	Without limiting Clause 25.10.2 (and without prejudice to any other provision of any Finance Document
excluding or limiting the liability of the Agent) the Agent shall not be liable (including, without limitation, for negligence
or any other category of liability whatsoever) for:



 


		(a)	any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value, or any liability whatsoever
arising as a result of taking or not taking any action under or in connection with any Finance Document or any Encumbrance created
or expressed to be created or evidenced by the Security Documents, unless caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct;



 


		(b)	exercising, or not exercising, any right, power, authority or discretion given to it by, or in
connection with, any Finance Document, any Encumbrance created or expressed to be created or evidenced by the Security Documents

any Finance Document or any Encumbrance created or expressed to be created or evidenced by the Security Documents;



 


		(c)	any shortfall which arises on the enforcement or realisation of the Trust Property; or



 


		(d)	without prejudice to the generality of Clauses 25.10.1(a), 25.10.1(b) and 25.10.1(c), any damages,
costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of:



 


		(i)	any act, event or circumstance not reasonably within its control; or



 


		(ii)	the general risks of investment in, or the holding of assets in, any jurisdiction,



 


including (in each case and
without limitation) such damages, costs, losses, diminution in value or liability arising as a result of: nationalisation, expropriation

of any third party transport, telecommunications, computer services or systems; natural disasters or acts of God; war, terrorism,
insurrection or revolution; or strikes or industrial action.


 


		25.10.2	No Party (other than the Agent) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent
of the Agent in respect of any claim it might have against the Agent or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer,
employee or agent in relation to any




    	Page 90



    	



    



Relevant
Document and any officer, employee or agent of the Agent may rely on this Clause subject to Clause 1.7 (Third Party Rights)
and the provisions of the Third Parties Act.


 


		25.10.3	The Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account
with an amount required under the Finance Documents to be paid by the Agent if the Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon
as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system
used by the Agent for that purpose.



 


		25.10.4	Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Agent or the Arranger to carry out:



 


		(a)	any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person;



 


		(b)	any check on the extent to which any transaction contemplated by this Agreement might be unlawful
for any Lender,



 


on behalf of any Lender and
each Lender confirms to the Agent and the Arranger that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out
and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or the Arranger.


 


		25.10.5	Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the Agent’s
liability, any liability of the Agent arising under or in connection with any Finance Document or any Encumbrance created or expressed
to be created or evidenced by the Security Documents shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been finally judicially
determined to have been suffered (as determined by reference to the date of default of the Agent or, if later, the date on which
the loss arises as a result of such default) but without reference to any special conditions or circumstances known to the Agent
at any time which increase the amount of that loss. In no event shall the Agent be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation,
business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not the Agent
has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.



 


		25.11	Lenders’ indemnity to the Agent



 


		25.11.1	Each Lender shall (in proportion to its share of the Total Commitments or, if the Total Commitments
are then zero, to its share of the Total Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) indemnify the Agent and every
Receiver and Delegate, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability (including, without limitation,
for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) incurred by any of them (otherwise than by reason of the relevant
Agent’s, Receiver’s or Delegate’s




    	Page 91



    	



    



gross negligence
or wilful misconduct) (or, in the case of any cost, loss or liability pursuant to Clause 28.12 (Disruption to payment systems
etc.) notwithstanding the Agent’s negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but
not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent) in acting as Agent, Receiver or Delegate under, or exercising any authority
conferred under, the Finance Documents (unless the relevant Agent, Receiver or Delegate has been reimbursed by a Security Party
pursuant to a Finance Document).


 


		25.11.2	Subject to Clause 25.11.3, the Borrower shall immediately on demand reimburse any Lender for any
payment that Lender makes to the Agent pursuant to Clause 25.11.1



 


		25.11.3	Clause 25.11.2 shall not apply to the extent that the indemnity payment in respect of which the
Lender claims reimbursement relates to a liability of the Agent to a Security Party.



 


		25.12	Trust The Security Agent agrees and declares, and each of the other Finance Parties acknowledges,
that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Clause 25.12, the Security Agent holds the Trust Property on trust for the Finance
Parties absolutely. Each of the other Finance Parties agrees that the obligations, rights and benefits vested in the Security Agent
shall be performed and exercised in accordance with this Clause 25.12. The Security Agent shall have the benefit of all of the
provisions of this Agreement benefiting it in its capacity as security agent for the Finance Parties, and all the powers and discretions
conferred on trustees by the Trustee Act 1925 (to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement). In addition:



 


		25.12.1	the Security Agent and any Delegate may indemnify itself or himself out of the Trust Property against
all liabilities, costs, fees, damages, charges, losses and expenses sustained or incurred by it or him in relation to the taking
or holding of any of the Trust Property or in connection with the exercise or purported exercise of the rights, trusts, powers
and discretions vested in the Security Agent or any Delegate by or pursuant to the Security Documents or in respect of anything
else done or omitted to be done in any way relating to the Security Documents;



 


		25.12.2	the other Finance Parties acknowledge that the Security Agent shall be under no obligation to insure
any property nor to require any other person to insure any property and shall not be responsible for any loss which may be suffered
by any person as a result of the lack or insufficiency of any insurance;



 


		25.12.3	the Finance Parties agree that the perpetuity period applicable to the trusts declared by this
Agreement shall be the period of 125 years from the date of this Agreement;



 


		25.12.4	the Security Agent shall not be liable for any failure, omission, or defect in perfecting the security
constituted or created by any Finance Document including, without limitation, any failure to




    	Page 92



    	



    



register
the same in accordance with the provisions of any of the documents of title of any Security Party to any of the assets thereby
charged or effect or procure registration of or otherwise protect the security created by any Security Document under any registration
laws in any jurisdiction and may accept without enquiry such title as any Security Party may have to any asset;


 


		25.12.5	the Security Agent shall not be under any obligation to hold any title deed, Finance Document or
any other documents in connection with the Finance Documents or any other documents in connection with the property charged by
any Finance Document or any other such security in its own possession or to take any steps to protect or preserve the same, and
may permit any Security Party to retain all such title deeds, Finance Documents and other documents in its possession; and



 


		25.12.6	save as otherwise provided in the Finance Documents, all moneys which under the trusts therein
contained are received by the Security Agent may be invested in the name of or under the control of the Security Agent in any investment
for the time being authorised by English law for the investment by trustees of trust money or in any other investments which may
be selected by the Security Agent, and the same may be placed on deposit in the name of or under the control of the Security Agent
at such bank or institution (including the Security Agent) and upon such terms as the Security Agent may think fit.



 


The provisions of Part I of
the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the Security Agent or the Trust Property.


 


		25.13	Resignation of the Agent



 


		25.13.1	The Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates acting through an office in the United Kingdom
as successor by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the other Finance Parties and the Borrower.



 


		25.13.2	Alternatively the Agent may resign by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the other Finance
Parties and the Borrower, in which case the Majority Lenders (after prior consultation and agreement with the Borrower) may appoint
a successor Agent.



 


		25.13.3	If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 25.13.1
within 20 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Agent (after consultation with the Borrower) may appoint a successor
Agent (acting through an office in the United Kingdom).



 


		25.13.4	If the Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer
appropriate for it to remain as agent and the Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Agent under Clause 25.13.2, the Agent may
(if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is




    	Page 93



    	



    



necessary
to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Agent) agree with the proposed
successor Agent amendments to this Clause 25 and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the
Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees together with any reasonable
amendments to the agency fee payable under this Agreement which are consistent with the successor Agent’s normal fee rates
and those amendments will bind the Parties.


 


		25.13.5	The retiring Agent shall, make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and
provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under
the Finance Documents. The Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand, reimburse the retiring Agent for the amount of
all costs and expenses (including legal fees) properly incurred by it in making available such documents and records and providing
such assistance.



 


		25.13.6	The Agent’s resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor
and (in the case of the Security Agent) the transfer of all the Trust Property to that successor.



 


		25.13.7	Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation
in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under Clause 25.13.5) but shall remain entitled to the benefit
of Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Agent) and this Clause 25 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall
cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights
and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.



 


		25.13.8	The Agent shall resign in accordance with Clause 25.13.1 (and, to the extent applicable, shall
use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Agent pursuant to Clause 25.13.2) if on or after the date which is three months
before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Agent under the Finance Documents, either:



 


		(a)	the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 12.8 (FATCA information) and the Borrower
or a Lender reasonably believes that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA
Application Date;



 


		(b)	the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 12.8 (FATCA information) indicates
that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or




    	Page 94



    	



    



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



 


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


 


		25.14	Replacement of the Agent



 


		25.14.1	After consultation with the Borrower, the Majority Lenders may, by giving 30 days’ notice
to the Agent (or, at any time the Agent is an Impaired Agent, by giving any shorter notice determined by the Majority lenders)
replace the Agent by appointing a successor Agent (acting through an office in the United Kingdom).



 


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



 


		25.14.3	The appointment of the successor Agent shall take effect on the date specified in the notice from
the Majority Lenders to the retiring Agent. As from this date, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation
in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under Clause 25.14.2 but shall remain entitled to the benefit of
Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Agent) and this Clause 25 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall
cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).



 


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



 


		25.15	Confidentiality



 


		25.15.1	In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, the 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.



 


		25.15.2	If information is received by another division or department of the Agent, it may be treated as
confidential to that division or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.



 


		25.16	Relationship with the Lenders



 


		25.16.1	The Agent may treat the person shown in its records as Lender at the opening of business (in the
place of the Agent’s principal office




    	Page 95



    	



    



as notified
to the Finance Parties from time to time) as the Lender acting through its Facility Office:


 


		(a)	entitled to or liable for any payment due under any Finance Document on that day; and



 


		(b)	entitled to receive and act upon any notice, request, document or communication or make any decision
or determination under any Finance Document made or delivered on that day,



 


unless it has received not
less than five Business Days’ prior notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


		25.16.2	Any Lender may by notice to the Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications,
information and documents to be made or dispatched to that Lender under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address,
fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under Clause 30.6 (Electronic
communication)) electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt 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, department and officer by that Lender for the purposes
of Clause 30.2 (Addresses) and Clause 30.6.1(b) (Electronic communication) and the Agent shall be entitled to treat
such person as the person entitled to receive all such notices, communications, information and documents as though that person
were that Lender.



 


		25.17	Credit appraisal by the Lenders Without affecting the responsibility of any Security Party
for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Relevant Document, each Lender confirms to the Agent and
the Arranger that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation
of all risks arising under or in connection with any Relevant Document including but not limited to:



 


		25.17.1	the financial condition, status and nature of each Security Party and each other member of the
Group;



 


		25.17.2	the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Relevant Document and
any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any
Relevant Document;



 


		25.17.3	whether that Lender has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party
or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Relevant Document, the transactions contemplated by the Relevant
Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of under or in connection
with any Relevant Document;




    	Page 96



    	



    



		25.17.4	the right or title of any person in or to, or the value or sufficiency of any part of the Charged
Property, the priority of any Encumbrance created or expressed to be created or evidenced by the Security Documents or the existence
of any Encumbrance affecting the Charged Property.



 


		25.18	Reference Banks If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender
of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the Agent shall (in consultation with the Borrower) appoint another Lender
or an Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank.



 


		25.19	Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent If any Party owes an amount to the Agent under
the Finance Documents the Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment
to that Party which the Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or
towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received
any amount so deducted.



 


		26	Conduct of Business by the Finance Parties



 


No provision of this Agreement
will:


 


		26.1	interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever
manner it thinks fit;



 


		26.2	oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available
to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or



 


		26.3	other than where expressly provided for, oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating
to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.



 


		27	Sharing among the Finance Parties



 


		27.1	Payments to Finance Parties If a Finance Party (a “Recovering Finance Party”)
receives or recovers any amount from a Security Party other than in accordance with Clause 28 (Payment Mechanics) (a “Recovered
Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:



 


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



 


		27.1.2	the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering
Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance
with Clause 28 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to
the receipt, recovery or distribution; and



 


		27.1.3	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the
Agent an amount (the “Sharing




    	Page 97



    	



    

Payment”)
equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as
its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 28.6 (Partial payments).


 


		27.2	Redistribution of payments The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid
by the relevant Security Party and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the “Sharing
Finance Parties”) in accordance with Clause 28.6 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of that Security Party
to the Sharing Finance Parties.



 


		27.3	Recovering Finance Party’s rights On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 27.2
(Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from a Security Party, as between the relevant
Security Party and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated
as not having been paid by that Security Party.



 


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



 


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



 


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



 


		27.5	Exceptions



 


		27.5.1	This Clause 27 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 Security Party.



 


		27.5.2	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:



 


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



 


		(b)	that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings
but did not do so as soon as




    	Page 98



    	



    



reasonably
practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

		28	Payment Mechanics



 


		28.1	Payments to the Agent On each date on which a Security Party or a Lender is required to
make a payment under a Finance Document , that Security Party or that Lender shall make the same available to the Agent for value
on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions
in the relevant currency in the place of payment.



 


Payment shall be made to such
account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency with such bank as the Agent specifies.


 


		28.2	Distributions by the Agent Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents
for another Party shall, subject to Clause 28.3 (Distributions to a Security Party) and Clause 28.4 (Clawback and pre-funding)
be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with
this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the
Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank specified by that Party in the principal financial centre of
the country of that currency.



 


		28.3	Distributions to a Security Party The Agent may (with the consent of a Security Party or
in accordance with Clause 29 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Security Party in or towards payment (on
the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Security Party under the Finance Documents or in
or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.



 


		28.4	Clawback and pre-funding



 


		28.4.1	Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent
is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been
able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.



 


		28.4.2	Unless Clause 28.4.3 applies, if the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be
the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related
exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from
the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.



 


		28.4.3	If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is willing to make available amounts for the account
of the Borrower before receiving funds from the Lenders then if and to the extent that the Agent does so but it proves to be the
case that it does not then receive




    	Page 100



    	



    

funds from
a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to the Borrower:


 


		(a)	the Agent shall notify the Borrower of that Lender’s identity and the Borrower shall on demand
refund it to the Agent; and



 


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



 


		28.5	Impaired Agent



 


		28.5.1	If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, a Security Party or a Lender which is required
to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent in accordance with Clause 28.1 (Payments to the Agent) may instead
either:



 


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



 


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



 


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


 


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



 


		28.5.3	A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 28.5 shall be discharged of the
relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing
to the credit of the trust account.



 


		28.5.4	Promptly upon the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 25.14 (Replacement
of the Agent), each Paying Party shall (other than to the extent that that Party has given an instruction pursuant to Clause
28.5.5) give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with any
accrued interest) to the successor Agent




    	Page 101



    	



    

for distribution
to the relevant Recipient Party or Recipient Parties in accordance with Clause 28.2 (Distributions by the Agent).


 


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



 


		(a)	that it has not given an instruction pursuant to Clause 28.5.4; and



 


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



 


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


 


		28.6	Partial payments



 


		28.6.1	If the Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and
payable by a Security Party under the Finance Documents, the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Security
Party under the Finance Documents in the following order:



 


		(a)	first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Agent or the
Security Agent under the Finance Documents;



 


		(b)	secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid
under this Agreement;



 


		(c)	thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under this Agreement; and



 


		(d)	fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents.



 


		28.6.2	The Agent shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, vary the order set out in Clauses 28.6.1(b)
to 28.6.1(d).



 


		28.6.3	Clauses 28.6.1 and 28.6.2 will override any appropriation made by a Security Party.



 


		28.7	No set-off by Security Parties All payments to be made by a Security Party under the Finance
Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim.



 


		28.8	Business Days Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall
be made on the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).



 


During any extension of the
due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at
the rate payable on the original due date.

This Agreement and any non-contractual
obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law.


 


		39	Enforcement



 


		39.1	Jurisdiction of English courts The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle
any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination
of this Agreement or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) (a “Dispute”).
Each Party agrees that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly
no Party will argue to the contrary.



 


This Clause 39.1 is for the
benefit of the Finance Parties only. As a result, no Finance Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute
in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, any Finance Party may take concurrent proceedings in any number

Finance Document; and



 


		(b)	agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Borrower of the process will not invalidate
the proceedings concerned.



 


		39.2.2	If any person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent
for service of process or terminates its appointment as agent for service of process, the Borrower must immediately (and in any
event within five days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Agent. Failing this, the Agent
