controversy or claim shall be finally settled by arbitration in Haugesund in the English language in accordance with the Norwegian Arbitration Act. The arbitration tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators, of which the Buyer shall appoint one

provisional relief pending the outcome of arbitration, including, without limitation, provisional injunctive relief or pre-judgement attachment of assets, or (b) to compel arbitration or enforce any arbitral award. For purposes of any
proceeding authorised by this Clause 17, each Party hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of Haugesund, Norway.

	Interest:	  	 Until this Seller’s Credit is repaid in accordance with the terms set out herein, interest shall accrue on the Loan Amount and be
payable in accordance with the following conditions:
  

a)      Interest shall accrue during the period from and including Closing (as defined
in the SPA) and ending on the day preceding the due date for repayment of this Seller’s Credit.
