                                         right of action. Each Lender shall be entitled to sue for any amount which has become
                                         due and payable by a Security Party to it under this Agreement without joining the Agent,
                                         the Security Trustee or any other Lender as additional parties in the proceedings.

                                         several. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement are several; and a failure
                                         of a Lender to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not result in:



 


		(a)	the obligations of the other Lenders
                                         being increased; nor

                                         being discharged (in whole or in part) from its obligations under any Finance Document,



 


and in no circumstances shall
a Lender have any responsibility for a failure of another Lender to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

                                         Lender (as defined in paragraph (c) below); or



 


		(ii)	a Borrower or any other Security
                                         Party becomes obliged in the absence of an Event of Default to repay any amount in accordance
                                         with Clause 24 or to pay additional amounts pursuant to Clause 23 or Clause 25 to any
                                         Lender in excess of amounts payable to other Lenders generally,



 




    	23



    	 



    

then the Borrowers
may, on 30 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender
to (and such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 27 all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
to a Lender or other bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (a “Replacement Lender”) selected
by the Borrowers, which is acceptable to the Agent with the consent of the Lenders (other than the Lender the Borrowers desire
to replace), which confirms its willingness to assume and by its execution of a Transfer Certificate does assume all the obligations
of the transferring Lender (including the assumption of the transferring Lender’s participations on the same basis as the
transferring Lender) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of
such Lender’s participation in the outstanding Advances and all accrued interest and/or breakages costs and other amounts
payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents.

                                         of a Non-Consenting Lender such replacement must take place no later than 30 days after
                                         the date the Borrowers notify the Non-Consenting Lender and the Agent of its intent to
                                         replace the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Clause 3.5(a); and



 


		(iv)	in no event shall the Lender replaced
                                         under this paragraph (b) be required to pay or surrender to such Replacement Lender any
                                         of the fees received by such Lender pursuant to the Finance Documents.

                                         the Lenders to give a consent in relation to or to agree to a waiver or amendment of
                                         any provisions of the Finance Documents;



 


		(ii)	the consent, waiver or amendment
                                         in question requires the approval of all Lenders; and



 


		(iii)	Lenders whose Commitments aggregate
                                         more than 66.67% percent of the Total Commitments have consented to or agreed to such
                                         waiver or amendment,



 


then any Lender who does not
and continues not to consent or agree to such waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”.

                                         of a third party designated by the Borrowers in a Drawdown Notice shall constitute the
                                         making of an Advance and the Borrowers shall at that time become indebted, as principal

		5.5	Obligation
                                         of Reference Banks to quote. A Reference Bank which is a Lender shall use all reasonable

		(a)	no Screen Rate is available for an
                                         Interest Period and two (2) or more of the Reference Banks do not, before 1:00 p.m. (London

		(b)	at least one (1) Business Day before
                                         the start of an Interest Period, Lenders having Contributions together amounting to more
                                         than 50% of the Loan (or, if an Advance has not been made, Commitments amounting to more
                                         than 50% of the Total Commitments) notify the Agent that LIBOR fixed by the Agent would
                                         not accurately reflect the cost to those Lenders of funding their respective Contributions
                                         (or any part of them) during the Interest Period in the London Interbank Market at or

                                         to be given.



 


		5.9	Suspension
                                         of drawdown. If the Agent’s notice under Clause 5.8 is served before an Advance
                                         is made, the Lenders’ obligations to make such Advance shall be suspended while
                                         the circumstances referred to in the Agent’s notice continue.



 


		5.10	Negotiation
                                         of alternative rate of interest. If the Agent’s notice under Clause 5.8 is
                                         served after an Advance is made, the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders shall use reasonable
                                         endeavors to agree, within the 30 days after the date on which the Agent serves its notice

		5.11	Application
                                         of agreed alternative rate of interest. Any alternative interest rate which is agreed
                                         during the Negotiation Period shall take effect in accordance with the terms agreed by
                                         the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders. 



 


		5.12	Alternative
                                         rate of interest in absence of agreement. If an alternative interest rate is not
                                         agreed within the Negotiation Period, and the relevant circumstances are continuing at
                                         the end of the Negotiation Period, then the Agent shall, with the agreement of each Lender,
                                         set an interest period and interest rate representing the cost of funding of the Lenders
                                         in Dollars or in any available currency of their or its Contribution plus the Margin.
                                         The procedure provided for by this Clause 5.12 shall be repeated if the relevant circumstances
                                         are continuing at the end of the interest period so set by the Agent.

                                         of normal Interest Periods. Subject to Clauses 6.3 and 6.5, each Interest Period
                                         shall be 3 months or such other period as the Agent may, with the authorization of all
                                         the Lenders, agree with the Borrowers pursuant to Clause 6.4; provided that in
                                         the case of the first Interest Period applicable to each Advance other than the first
                                         Advance, such Interest Period shall end on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
                                         to the prior Advances then outstanding, whereupon all Advances shall be consolidated

		7.2	Default
                                         rate of interest. Interest shall accrue on an overdue amount from (and including)
                                         the relevant date until the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment)
                                         at the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be 2.00 percent above:

                                         the rate set out at Clause 7.3(b).



 


		7.3	Calculation
                                         of default rate of interest. The rates referred to in Clause 7.2 are:



 


		(a)	the rate applicable to the overdue
                                         principal amount immediately prior to the relevant date (but only for any unexpired part
                                         of any then current Interest Period); and



 


		(b)	the applicable Margin plus, in respect
                                         of successive periods of any duration (including at call) up to three (3) months which
                                         the Agent may, with the consent of the Lenders, select from time to time, LIBOR.



 


		7.4	Notification
                                         of interest periods and default rates. The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders
                                         and each relevant Security Party of each interest rate determined by the Agent under
                                         Clause 7.3 and of each period selected by the Agent for the purposes of paragraph (b)
                                         of that Clause; but this shall not be taken to imply that such Security Party is liable
                                         to pay such interest only with effect from the date of the Agent’s notification.



 


		7.5	Payment
                                         of accrued default interest. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, any
                                         interest due under this Clause shall be paid on the last day of the period by reference
                                         to which it was determined; and the payment shall be made to the Agent for the account
                                         of the Creditor Party to which the overdue amount is due.



 


		7.6	Compounding
                                         of default interest. Any such interest which is not paid at the end of the period
                                         by reference to which it was determined shall thereupon be compounded.

                                         to this Agreement which affects the Borrowers has been complied with (which may be satisfied

                                         date for prepayment specified in the prepayment notice.



 


		8.7	Notification
                                         of notice of prepayment. The Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receiving

                                         payable on prepayment. A voluntary prepayment under Clause 8.4 and a mandatory prepayment

		(a)	accrued interest (and any other amount
                                         payable under Clause 22 or otherwise) in respect of the amount prepaid;

		(i)	2.00% of the prepaid amount in
                                         respect of any prepayment made prior to the first anniversary of the Drawdown Date to
                                         which the Advance being repaid relates;



 


		(ii)	1.00% of the prepaid amount in

                                         the release of such funds by the Seller’s Bank on the relevant Delivery Date upon

		(1)	the date on which the Lenders fund

                                         and Acceptance referred to in Clause 9.2(b)(ii);



 


		(3)	from the date the proceeds of the
                                         Advance are deposited at the Seller’s Bank to the Delivery Date (or, if delivery
                                         of the Ship does not occur within the time prescribed in the Disbursement Authorization,
                                         the date on which the funds are returned to the Agent for further distribution to the
                                         Lenders), the Borrowers shall be entitled to interest on the Advance at the applicable

		(4)	if the Ship is not delivered within
                                         the time prescribed in the Disbursement Authorization and the proceeds of the Advance
                                         are returned to the Agent and distributed to the Lenders, (i) the Borrowers shall pay
                                         all accrued interest and fees in respect of such returned proceeds on the date such proceeds
                                         are returned to the Agent and (ii) the relevant available Commitment will be increased
                                         by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loan proceeds so returned;
                                         and



 


		(5)	if the Borrowers have instructed
                                         the Agent to convert the aggregate principal amount of the Advance borrowed into a currency
                                         other than Dollars for deposit with the Seller’s Bank and the relevant Ship is
                                         not delivered within the time prescribed in the Disbursement Authorization and the proceeds
                                         of the Advance are returned to the Agent for further distribution to the Lenders, the
                                         Agent shall convert the aggregate principal amount of funds so returned back into Dollars
                                         and if such funds are less than the Dollar amount of the aggregate principal amount of
                                         the Advance incurred on the relevant Drawdown Date, the Borrowers shall immediately repay
                                         the difference and, in any event, the Borrowers shall pay any and all fees, charges and
                                         expenses arising from such conversion.

                                         from that Lender under any Finance Document or any sum which the Agent is then entitled
                                         under any Finance Document to require that Lender to pay on demand.



 


		17.6	Agent

                                         available to the Borrowers or any Lender any sum which the Agent is expecting to receive
                                         for remittance or distribution to the Borrowers or that Lender until the Agent has satisfied

                                         and



 


		(b)	pay to the Agent the amount (as certified
                                         by the Agent) which will indemnify the Agent against any funding or other loss, liability
                                         or expense incurred by the Agent as a result of making the sum available before receiving

		17.8	Agent
                                         may assume receipt. Clause 17.7 shall not affect any claim which the Agent has under
                                         the law of restitution, and applies irrespective of whether the Agent had any form of
                                         notice that it had not received the sum which it made available.

                                         all payments in respect of those amounts made by the Borrowers and any other Security
                                         Party.



 


		17.10	Agent’s
                                         memorandum account. The Agent shall maintain a memorandum account showing the amounts
                                         advanced by the Lenders and all other sums owing to the Agent, the Security Trustee and
                                         each Lender from the Borrowers and each other Security Party under the Finance Documents
                                         and all payments in respect of those amounts made by the Borrowers and any other Security
                                         Party.



 


		17.11	Accounts
                                         prima facie evidence. If any accounts maintained under Clauses 17.9 and 17.10 show
                                         an amount to be owing by the Borrowers or any other Security Party to a Creditor Party,
                                         those accounts shall be prima facie evidence that that amount is owing to that Creditor
                                         Party.

                                         be received or recovered in the future, but also to any sum which has been received or
                                         recovered on or after the third Business Day before the date on which the notice is served.



 


		18.4	Appropriation
                                         rights overridden. This Clause 18 and any notice which the Agent gives under Clause
                                         18.2 shall override any right of appropriation possessed, and any appropriation made,
                                         by the Borrowers or any other Security Party.



 


		18.5	Payments
                                         in excess of Contribution. 



 


		(a)	If any Lender shall obtain any payment
                                         (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, counterclaim
                                         or otherwise) in excess of its Contribution, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from
                                         the other Lenders such participation in their respective Contributions as shall be necessary
                                         to share the excess payment ratably with each of them, provided that if all or
                                         any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender,
                                         such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the
                                         purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an
                                         amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a)
                                         the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered
                                         from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing
                                         Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.



 


		(b)	The Borrowers agree that any Lender
                                         so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Clause 18.5 may, to
                                         the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including
                                         the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
                                         the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.



 


		(c)	Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and
                                         (b) of this Clause 18.5, any Lender which shall have commenced or joined (as a plaintiff)
                                         in an action or proceeding in any court to recover sums due to it under any Finance Document
                                         and pursuant to a judgment obtained therein or a settlement or compromise of that action
                                         or proceeding shall have received any amount, such Lender shall not be required to share
                                         any proportion of that amount with a Lender which has the legal right to, but does not,
                                         join such action or proceeding or commence and diligently prosecute a separate action
                                         or proceeding to enforce its rights in the same or another court.

		(f)	an event of default, or an event or
                                         circumstance which, with the giving of any notice, the lapse of time or both would constitute
                                         an event of default, has occurred on the part of a Security Party (other than the Glencore
                                         Guarantors) under any contract or agreement (other than the Finance Documents) to which

                                         to a claim by such creditor which, in the reasonable opinion of the Lenders, is likely
                                         to materially and adversely affect the ability of such Security Party to perform all

                                         has acknowledged its responsibility to cover such judgment or order) shall be rendered
                                         against a Security Party (other than the Glencore Guarantors) and such judgment shall
                                         not have been vacated or discharged or stayed or bonded pending appeal within 30 days

                                         or a Potential Event of Default and/or the acceleration of repayment of the Loan under
                                         Clause 20.



 


It is understood
that the indemnities provided in this Clause 22.1 shall not apply to any claim cost or expense which is a tax levied by a taxing
authority on the indemnified party (which taxes are subject to indemnity solely as provided in Clause 23 below) but shall apply
to any other costs associated with any tax which is not a Non-indemnified Tax.


 


		22.2	Breakage
                                         costs. Without limiting its generality, Clause 22.1 covers any claim, expense, liability
                                         or loss, including a loss of a prospective profit, incurred by a Lender:



 


		(a)	in liquidating or employing deposits
                                         from third parties acquired or arranged to fund or maintain all or any part of its Contribution
                                         and/or any overdue amount (or an aggregate amount which includes its Contribution or
                                         any overdue amount); and



 


		(b)	in terminating, or otherwise in connection
                                         with, any interest and/or currency swap or any other transaction entered into (whether
                                         with another legal entity or with another office or department of the Lender concerned)
                                         to hedge any exposure arising under this Agreement or that part which the Lender concerned
                                         determines is fairly attributable to this Agreement of the amount of the liabilities,
                                         expenses or losses (including losses of prospective profits) incurred by it in terminating,
                                         or otherwise in connection with, a number of transactions of which this Agreement is
                                         one.

		22.3	Miscellaneous
                                         indemnities. The Borrowers shall fully indemnify each Creditor Party severally on
                                         their respective demands in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which
                                         may be made or brought against or incurred by a Creditor Party, in any country, as a
                                         result of or in connection with:



 


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



 


		(b)	any other Pertinent Matter,



 


other than claims, expenses,
liabilities and losses which are shown to have been directly and mainly caused by the dishonesty or willful misconduct or gross
negligence of the officers or employees of the Creditor Party concerned.


 


Without prejudice to its generality,
this Clause 22.3 covers any claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which arise, or are asserted, under or in connection with
any law relating to safety at sea, the ISM Code, the ISPS Code, any Environmental Law or any business conducted directly or indirectly
by a Security Party with any Prohibited Person.


 


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



 


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



 


		(b)	obtaining an order or judgment from
                                         any court or other tribunal; or



 


		(c)	enforcing any such order or judgment,



 


the Borrowers shall indemnify
the Creditor Party concerned against the loss arising when the amount of the payment actually received by that Creditor Party
is converted at the available rate of exchange into the Contractual Currency.


 


In this Clause 22.4, the “available
rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Creditor Party concerned is able at the opening of business (London time)
on the Business Day after it receives the sum concerned to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency.


 


This Clause 22.4 creates a separate
liability of the Borrowers which is distinct from its other liabilities under the Finance Documents and which shall not be merged
in any judgment or order relating to those other liabilities.


 


		22.5	Intentionally
                                         omitted.

                                         that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Creditor Party under this
                                         Clause 22 and which indicates (without necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the
                                         matters in respect of which the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall be prima facie
                                         evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due.

                                         Borrowers to the Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to a Lender shall be
                                         treated as a sum due to that Lender.

		(a)	without any form of set-off, cross-claim
                                         or condition; and



 


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



 


		23.2	Grossing-up
                                         for taxes. If a Security Party is required by law to make a tax deduction from any
                                         payment:



 


		(a)	such Security Party shall notify the
                                         Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement;



 


		(b)	such Security Party shall pay the tax
                                         deducted to the appropriate taxation authority promptly, and in any event before any
                                         fine or penalty arises; and

                                         the payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that each Creditor Party
                                         receives and retains (free from any liability relating to the tax deduction) a net amount
                                         which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount which it would otherwise
                                         have received.



 


		23.3	Evidence
                                         of payment of taxes. Within one (1) month after making any tax deduction, the relevant
                                         Security Party shall deliver to the Agent documentary evidence satisfactory to the Agent
                                         that the tax had been paid to the appropriate taxation authority.



 


		23.4	Tax

                                         Clause 23.2 shall pay to the Borrowers a sum equal to the proportion of the repayment
                                         or credit which that Creditor Party allocates to the amount due from the Borrowers in
                                         respect of which the Borrowers made the increased payment, provided that:



 


		(a)	the Creditor Party shall not be obliged
                                         to allocate to this transaction any part of a tax repayment or credit which is referable
                                         to a class or number of transactions;



 


		(b)	nothing in this Clause 23.4 shall oblige
                                         a Creditor Party to arrange its tax affairs in any particular manner, to claim any type
                                         of relief, credit, allowance or deduction instead of, or in priority to, another or to
                                         make any such claim within any particular time;



 


		(c)	nothing in this Clause 23.4 shall oblige
                                         a Creditor Party to make a payment which would leave it in a worse position than it would
                                         have been in if the Borrowers had not been required to make a tax deduction from a payment;
                                         and



 


		(d)	any allocation or determination made
                                         by a Creditor Party under or in connection with this Clause 23.4 shall be conclusive

		23.5	Indemnity
                                         for taxes. The Borrowers hereby indemnify and agree to hold each Creditor Party harmless

                                         23.5) paid or payable by such person, whether or not such taxes or other taxes were correctly
                                         or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date

                                         to any Creditor Party pursuant to Clause 23.2, to the extent that the tax is collected
                                         by withholding on payments (a “Withholding”) and is levied by a Pertinent
                                         Jurisdiction of the payer and:



 


		(a)	the person claiming such indemnity

                                         law (after taking into account relevant treaties and assuming that such person has provided
                                         all forms it may legally and truthfully provide) on the date such person became a party
                                         to this Agreement a Withholding would have been required on such payment, provided
                                         that this exclusion shall not apply to the extent such Withholding does not exceed

                                         person from whom such person acquired its rights under the Agreement and this exclusion
                                         shall not apply to the extent that such Withholding exceeds the amount of Withholding
                                         that would have been required under the law in effect on the date such person became
                                         a party to this Agreement; or



 


		(b)	the person claiming such indemnity

                                         this exclusion shall not apply to the extent such Withholding does not exceed the
                                         Withholding that would have been applicable to such payment if such Lender had not changed
                                         its Lending Office and this exclusion shall not apply to the extent that the Withholding
                                         exceeds the amount of Withholding that would have been required under the law in effect
                                         on the date such Lender changed its Lending Office; or



 


		(c)	in the case of a Lender, to the extent
                                         that Withholding would not have been required on such payment if such Lender has complied

                                         provided by a Lender could reduce or eliminate such Withholding taxes under the laws
                                         of such Pertinent Jurisdiction or any treaty to which the Pertinent Jurisdiction is a
                                         party, then, upon written request by the Borrowers, a Lender that is entitled to an exemption
                                         from, or reduction in the amount of, such Withholding tax shall deliver to the Borrowers
                                         (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or promptly
                                         after receipt of Borrowers’ request, whichever is later, such properly completed
                                         and executed documentation requested by the Borrowers, if any, as will permit such payments
                                         to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that such
                                         Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in
                                         such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or delivery would
                                         not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Notwithstanding
                                         the foregoing, nothing in Clause 23.7 shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential
                                         information (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations).



 


		(c)	Each Lender shall deliver such forms
                                         as provided in this Clause 23.7 within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor
                                         from the Agent or Borrowers.



 


		(d)	Notwithstanding any other provision
                                         of this Clause 23.7, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this
                                         Clause 23.7 that such Lender is not legally entitled to deliver.



 


		23.8	FATCA
                                         information.



 


		(a)	Subject to paragraph (c) below, each
                                         Relevant Party confirms to each other Relevant Party that it is a FATCA Exempt Party
                                         on the date hereof (or in the case of a Transferee Lender, on the date of its applicable
                                         Transfer Certificate, and except as otherwise indicated therein) and thereafter within
                                         ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another Relevant Party shall:



 


		(i)	confirm to that other party whether
                                         it is a FATCA Exempt Party or is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and



 


		(ii)	supply to the requesting party
                                         (with a copy to all other Relevant Parties) such other form or forms (including IRS Form
                                         W-8 or Form W-9 or any successor or substitute form, as applicable) and any other documentation
                                         and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “passthru
                                         percentage” or other information required under FATCA or other official guidance
                                         including intergovernmental agreements) as the requesting party reasonably requests for
                                         the purpose of determining whether any payment to such party may be subject to any FATCA
                                         Deduction.

		(b)	If a Relevant Party confirms to any
                                         other Relevant Party that it is a FATCA Exempt Party or provides an IRS Form W-8 or W-9
                                         to showing 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 so notify all other
                                         Relevant Parties reasonably promptly.



 


		(c)	Nothing in this Clause 23.8 shall obligate
                                         any Relevant Party to do anything which would or, in its reasonable opinion, might constitute
                                         a breach of any law or regulation, any policy of that party, any fiduciary duty or any
                                         duty of confidentiality, or to disclose any confidential information (including, without
                                         limitation, its tax returns and calculations); provided that nothing in this paragraph
                                         shall excuse any Relevant Party from providing a true complete and correct IRS Form W-8
                                         or W-9 (or any successor or substitute form where applicable). Any information provided
                                         on such IRS Form W-8 or W-9 (or any successor or substitute forms) shall not be treated
                                         as confidential information of such party for purposes of this paragraph.



 


		(d)	If a Relevant Party fails to confirm
                                         its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance
                                         the provisions of this agreement or the provided information is insufficient under FATCA,
                                         then:



 


		(i)	such party shall be treated as
                                         if it were a FATCA Non-Exempt Party; and



 


		(ii)	if that party failed to confirm
                                         its applicable passthru percentage then such party shall be treated for the purposes
                                         of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable passthru
                                         percentage is 100%,



 


until (in
each case) such time as the party in question provides sufficient confirmation, forms, documentation or other information to establish
the relevant facts.


 


		23.9	FATCA
                                         withholding.



 


		(a)	A Relevant Party making a payment to
                                         any FATCA Non-Exempt Party shall make such FATCA Deduction as it determines is required
                                         by law and shall render payment to the IRS within the time allowed and in the amount
                                         required by FATCA.



 


		(b)	If a FATCA Deduction is required to
                                         be made by any Relevant Party to a FATCA Non-Exempt Party, the amount of the payment
                                         due from such Relevant Party shall be reduced by the amount of the FATCA Deduction reasonably
                                         determined to be required by such Relevant Party.



 


		(c)	Each Relevant Party shall promptly
                                         upon becoming aware that a FATCA Deduction is required with respect to any payment owed
                                         to it (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify
                                         each other Relevant Party accordingly.



 


		(d)	Within thirty days of making either
                                         a FATCA Deduction or any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, the
                                         party making such FATCA Deduction shall deliver to the Agent for delivery to the party
                                         on account of whom the FATCA Deduction was made evidence reasonably satisfactory to that
                                         party that the FATCA Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment
                                         paid to the IRS.



 


		(e)	A Relevant Party who becomes aware
                                         that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to another Relevant Party
                                         (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of such FATCA Deduction) shall notify
                                         that party and the Agent.



 




    	75



    	 



    

 


		(f)	The Agent shall promptly upon becoming
                                         aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Lender which relates
                                         to a payment by a Borrower Party (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis
                                         of such a FATCA Deduction) notify the Borrower and the relevant Lender.



 


		(g)	If a FATCA Deduction is made as a result
                                         of any creditor Party failing to be a FATCA Exempt Party, such party shall indemnify
                                         each other Creditor Party against any loss, cost or expense to it resulting from such
                                         FATCA Deduction.



 


		23.10	FATCA
                                         mitigation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, if a FACTC deduction
                                         is or will be required to be made by any party under Clause 23.10 in respect of a payment
                                         to any FATCA Non-Exempt Lender, the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender may either:



 


		(a)	transfer its entire interest in the
                                         Loan to a U.S. branch or Affiliate, or



 


		(b)	nominate one or more transferee lenders
                                         who upon becoming a Lender would be a FATCA Exempt Party, by notice in writing to the
                                         Agent and the Borrower specifying the terms of the proposed transfer, and upon the approval
                                         and consent of the Agent and the Borrower, cause such transferee lender(s) to purchase
                                         all of the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender’s interest in the Loan.



 


		24	ILLEGALITY, ETC



 


		24.1	Illegality.
                                         If it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for a Lender (the “Notifying
                                         Lender”) to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement
                                         or to fund or maintain its participation in any Advance:



 


		(a)	the Notifying Lender shall promptly
                                         notify the Agent upon becoming aware of that event;



 


		(b)	upon the Agent notifying the Borrowers
                                         and the other Creditor Parties, the Commitment of the Notifying Lender will be immediately
                                         cancelled; and



 


		(c)	the Borrowers shall repay the Notifying
                                         Lender’s participation in the Advance on the last day of the Interest Period for
                                         the Advance occurring after the Agent has notified the Borrowers or, if earlier, the
                                         date specified by the Notifying Lender in the notice delivered to the Agent (being no
                                         earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law).



 


		24.2	Mitigation.
                                         If circumstances arise which would result in a notification under Clause 24.1 then, without
                                         in any way limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under Clause 24.1, the Notifying
                                         Lender shall use reasonable commercial efforts to transfer its obligations, liabilities
                                         and rights under this Agreement and the Finance Documents to another office or financial
                                         institution not affected by the circumstances but the Notifying Lender shall not be under
                                         any obligation to take any such action if, in its opinion, to do would or might:



 


		(a)	have an adverse effect on its business,
                                         operations or financial condition; or



 


		(b)	involve it in any activity which is
                                         unlawful or prohibited or any activity that is contrary to, or inconsistent with, any
                                         regulation; or



 


		(c)	involve it in any expense (unless indemnified
                                         to its satisfaction) or tax disadvantage.

		25	INCREASED COSTS



 


		25.1	Increased
                                         costs. This Clause 25 applies if a Lender (the “Notifying Lender”)
                                         notifies the Agent that the Notifying Lender considers that as a result of:



 


		(a)	the introduction or alteration after
                                         the date of this Agreement of a law or an alteration after the date of this Agreement
                                         in the manner in which a law is interpreted or applied (disregarding any effect which
                                         relates to the application to payments under this Agreement of a Non-Indemnified tax);
                                         or



 


		(b)	complying with any regulation (including
                                         any which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner
                                         in which the Notifying Lender allocates capital resources to its obligations under this
                                         Agreement) which is introduced, or altered, or the interpretation or application of which
                                         is altered, after the date of this Agreement,



 


the Notifying Lender (or a parent
company of it) has incurred or will incur an “increased cost”.


 


Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives
promulgated thereunder, are deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted or
adopted.


 


		25.2	Meaning
                                         of “increased costs”. In this Clause 25, “increased costs”
                                         means, in relation to a Notifying Lender:



 


		(a)	an additional or increased cost incurred
                                         as a result of, or in connection with, the Notifying Lender having entered into, or being
                                         a party to, this Agreement or having taken an assignment of rights under this Agreement,
                                         of funding or maintaining its Commitment or Contribution or performing its obligations
                                         under this Agreement, or of having outstanding all or any part of its Contribution or
                                         other unpaid sums;



 


		(b)	a reduction in the amount of any payment
                                         to the Notifying Lender under this Agreement or in the effective return which such a
                                         payment represents to the Notifying Lender or on its capital;



 


		(c)	an additional or increased cost of
                                         funding all or maintaining all or any of the advances comprised in a class of advances
                                         formed by or including the Notifying Lender’s Contribution or (as the case may
                                         require) the proportion of that cost attributable to the Contribution; or



 


		(d)	a liability to make a payment, or a
                                         return foregone, which is calculated by reference to any amounts received or receivable
                                         by the Notifying Lender under this Agreement;



 


		(e)	but not an item attributable to a change
                                         in the rate of tax on the overall net income of the Notifying Lender (or a parent company
                                         of it) or an item covered by the indemnity for tax in Clause 23 or an item arising directly
                                         out of the implementation or application of or compliance with Basel III or any other
                                         law or regulation which implements Basel III (whether such implementation, application
                                         or compliance is by a government, regulator, Creditor Party or any of its affiliates).

                                         for the account of the Notifying Lender the amounts which the Agent from time to time
                                         notifies the Borrowers that the Notifying Lender has specified to be necessary to compensate
                                         the Notifying Lender for the increased cost.



 


		25.5	Notice
                                         of prepayment. If the Borrowers are not willing to continue to compensate the Notifying
                                         Lender for the increased cost under Clause 25.4, the Borrowers may give the Agent not

                                         to any applicable prepayment fee under Clause 8.9(c)) the Notifying Lender’s Contribution,

                                         Default, each Creditor Party may, with notice to the Borrowers:



 


		(a)	apply any balance (whether or not then
                                         due) which at any time stands to the credit of any account in the name of either Borrower
                                         at any office in any country of that Creditor Party in or towards satisfaction of any
                                         sum then due from the Borrowers to that Creditor Party under any of the Finance Documents;
                                         and



 


		(b)	for that purpose:



 


		(i)	break, or alter the maturity of,
                                         all or any part of a deposit of either Borrower;

                                         considers appropriate.

		26.2	Existing
                                         rights unaffected. No Creditor Party shall be obliged to exercise any of its rights
                                         under Clause 26.1; and those rights shall be without prejudice and in addition to any
                                         right of set-off, combination of accounts, charge, lien or other right or remedy to which
                                         a Creditor Party is entitled (whether under the general law or any document).



 


		26.3	Sums
                                         deemed due to a Lender. For the purposes of this Clause 26, a sum payable by the
                                         Borrowers to the Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to, or for the account
                                         of, a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender; and each Lender’s proportion
                                         of a sum so payable for distribution to, or for the account of, the Lenders shall be
                                         treated as a sum due to such Lender.



 


		26.4	No
                                         Security Interest. This Clause 26 gives the Creditor Parties a contractual right
                                         of set-off only, and does not create any Security Interest over any credit balance of
                                         either Borrower. 



 


		27	TRANSFERS AND CHANGES IN LENDING OFFICES



 


		27.1	Transfer
                                         by Borrowers. The Borrowers may not, without the consent of the Agent, given on the
                                         instructions of all the Lenders, transfer any of its rights, liabilities or obligations
                                         under any Finance Document.



 


		27.2	Transfer
                                         by a Lender. Subject to Clause 27.4, a Lender (the “Transferor Lender”)
                                         may at any time, with the consent of the Borrowers, cause: 



 


		(a)	its rights in respect of all or part
                                         of its Contribution; or



 


		(b)	its obligations in respect of all or
                                         part of its Commitment; or



 


		(c)	a combination of (a) and (b),



 


to be (in the case of its rights)
transferred to, or (in the case of its obligations) assumed by, another bank or financial institution or trust, fund or other
entity (a “Transferee Lender”) which (i) is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making,
purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets or the securitization or similar transaction of that Transferor
Lender’s Contribution or Commitment and (ii) is not an Affiliate of the Borrowers, by delivering to the Agent a completed
certificate in the form set out in Schedule 5 with any modifications approved or required by the Agent (a “Transfer Certificate”)
executed by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any rights and obligations of the Transferor Lender in its capacity as Agent or Security Trustee shall be determined in accordance
with Clause 31.


 


		27.3	Transfer
                                         Certificate, delivery and notification. As soon as reasonably practicable after a
                                         Transfer Certificate is delivered to the Agent, it shall (unless it has reason to believe
                                         that the Transfer Certificate may be defective):



 


		(a)	sign the Transfer Certificate on behalf
                                         of itself, the Borrowers, the other Security Parties, the Security Trustee and each of
                                         the other Lenders;



 


		(b)	on behalf of the Transferee Lender,
                                         send to the Borrowers and each other Security Party letters or faxes notifying them of
                                         the Transfer Certificate and attaching a copy of it;



 




    	79



    	 



    

 


		(c)	send to the Transferee Lender copies
                                         of the letters or faxes sent under paragraph (b),



 


but the Agent shall only be
obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender once it is satisfied
it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations
to the transfer to that Transferee Lender.


 


		27.4	Effective
                                         Date of Transfer Certificate. A Transfer Certificate becomes effective on the date,
                                         if any, specified in the Transfer Certificate as its effective date, provided that
                                         it is signed by the Agent under Clause 27.3 on or before that date.



 


		27.5	No
                                         transfer without Transfer Certificate. Except as provided in Clause 27.17, no assignment
                                         or transfer of any right or obligation of a Lender under any Finance Document is binding
                                         on, or effective in relation to, the Borrowers, any other Security Party, the Agent or
                                         the Security Trustee unless it is effected, evidenced or perfected by a Transfer Certificate.
                                         



 


		27.6	Lender
                                         re-organization; waiver of Transfer Certificate. If a Lender enters into any merger,
                                         de-merger or other reorganization as a result of which all its rights or obligations
                                         vest in a successor, the Agent may, if it sees fit, by notice to the successor and the
                                         Borrowers and the Security Trustee waive the need for the execution and delivery of a
                                         Transfer Certificate and, upon service of the Agent’s notice, the successor shall
                                         become a Lender with the same Commitment and Contribution as were held by the predecessor
                                         Lender.



 


		27.7	Effect
                                         of Transfer Certificate. The effect of a Transfer Certificate is as follows:



 


		(a)	to the extent specified in the Transfer
                                         Certificate, all rights and interests (present, future or contingent) which the Transferor
                                         Lender has under or by virtue of the Finance Documents are assigned to the Transferee
                                         Lender absolutely, free of any defects in the Transferor Lender’s title and of
                                         any rights or equities which the Borrowers or any other Security Party had against the
                                         Transferor Lender;



 


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



 


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



 


		(d)	the Transferee Lender becomes bound
                                         by all the provisions of the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally,
                                         including those about pro-rata sharing and the exclusion of liability on the part of,
                                         and the indemnification of, the Agent and the Security Trustee and, to the extent that
                                         the Transferee Lender becomes bound by those provisions (other than those relating to
                                         exclusion of liability), the Transferor Lender ceases to be bound by them;



 


		(e)	any part of the Loan which the Transferee
                                         Lender advances after the Transfer Certificate’s effective date ranks in point
                                         of priority and security in the same way as it would have ranked had it been advanced
                                         by the transferor, assuming that any defects in the transferor’s title and any
                                         rights or equities of the Borrowers or any other Security Party against the Transferor
                                         Lender had not existed;



 




    	80



    	 



    

 


		(f)	the Transferee Lender becomes entitled
                                         to all the rights under the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally,
                                         including but not limited to those relating to the Lenders and those under Clause 5.7
                                         and Clause 21, and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such
                                         rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be entitled to them; and



 


		(g)	in respect of any breach of a warranty,
                                         undertaking, condition or other provision of a Finance Document or any misrepresentation
                                         made in or in connection with a Finance Document, the Transferee Lender shall be entitled
                                         to recover damages by reference to the loss incurred by it as a result of the breach
                                         or misrepresentation, irrespective of whether the original Lender would have incurred
                                         a loss of that kind or amount.



 


The rights and equities of the
Borrowers or any other Security Party referred to above include, but are not limited to, any right of set off and any other kind
of cross-claim.


 


		27.8	Maintenance
                                         of register of Lenders. During the Security Period the Agent shall maintain a register
                                         in which it shall record the name, Commitment, Contribution and administrative details
                                         (including the lending office) from time to time of each Lender holding a Transfer Certificate
                                         and the effective date (in accordance with Clause 27.4) of the Transfer Certificate;
                                         and the Agent shall make the register available for inspection by any Lender, the Security
                                         Trustee and the Borrowers during normal banking hours, subject to receiving at least
                                         three (3) Business Days’ prior notice.



 


		27.9	Reliance
                                         on register of Lenders. The entries on that register shall, in the absence of manifest
                                         error, be conclusive in determining the identities of the Lenders and the amounts of
                                         their Commitments and Contributions and the effective dates of Transfer Certificates
                                         and may be relied upon by the Agent and the other parties to the Finance Documents for
                                         all purposes relating to the Finance Documents.



 


		27.10	Authorization
                                         of Agent to sign Transfer Certificates. The Borrowers, the Security Trustee and each
                                         Lender irrevocably authorizes the Agent to sign Transfer Certificates on its behalf.



 


		27.11	Registration
                                         fee. In respect of any Transfer Certificate, the Agent shall be entitled to recover
                                         a registration fee of $5,000 from the Transferor Lender or (at the Agent’s option)
                                         the Transferee Lender.



 


		27.12	Sub-participation;
                                         subrogation assignment. A Lender may sub-participate all or any part of its rights
                                         and/or obligations under or in connection with the Finance Documents without the consent
                                         of, or any notice to, the Borrowers, any other Security Party, the Agent or the Security
                                         Trustee; and the Lenders may assign, in any manner and terms agreed by the Lenders, the
                                         Agent and the Security Trustee, all or any part of those rights to an insurer or surety
                                         who has become subrogated to them.

                                         advisors;



 


		(e)	any person with whom such Creditor
                                         Party proposes to enter (or considers entering) into contractual relations in relation
                                         to the Loan and/or its Commitment or Contribution; and



 


		(f)	any other person regarding the funding,
                                         re-financing, transfer, assignment, sale, sub-participation or operational arrangement
                                         or other transaction in relation to the Loan, its Contribution or its Commitment, including
                                         without limitation, for purposes in connection with a securitization or any enforcement,
                                         preservation, assignment, transfer, sale or sub-participation of any of such Creditor
                                         Parties’ rights and obligations;



 


provided
that such Creditor Party has taken commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any person to whom such Creditor Party passes
any information in accordance with the terms of this Clause 27.13 undertakes to maintain the confidentiality of such information
so as to protect any material non-public information of the Security Parties.


 


		27.14	Change
                                         of lending office. A Lender may change its lending office by giving notice to the
                                         Agent and the change shall become effective on the later of:



 


		(a)	the date on which the Agent receives
                                         the notice; and



 


		(b)	the date, if any, specified in the
                                         notice as the date on which the change will come into effect.



 


		27.15	Notification.
                                         On receiving such a notice, the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Security
                                         Trustee; and, until the Agent receives such a notice, it shall be entitled to assume
                                         that a Lender is acting through the lending office of which the Agent last had notice.



 


		27.16	Replacement
                                         of Reference Bank. If any Reference Bank ceases to be a Lender or is unable on a
                                         continuing basis to supply quotations for the purposes of Clauses 5.7 to 5.12 then, unless
                                         the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders otherwise agree, the Agent, acting on the instructions
                                         of the Lenders, and after consulting the Borrowers, shall appoint another bank (whether
                                         or not a Lender) to be a replacement Reference Bank; and, when that appointment comes
                                         into effect, the first-mentioned Reference Bank’s appointment shall cease to be
                                         effective.



 


		27.17	Security
                                         over Lenders’ rights. In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under
                                         this Clause 27, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from the
                                         Borrowers or any other Security Party, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create
                                         a Security Interest in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any
                                         of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including,
                                         without limitation:



 


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



 


		(b)	in the case of any Lender which is
                                         a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security Interest granted to any holders (or
                                         trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by
                                         that Lender as security for those obligations or securities;



 


except that
no such charge, assignment or Security Interest shall:


 




    	82



    	 



    

 


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



 


		(ii)	require any payments to be made
                                         by the Borrowers or any other Security Party or grant to any person any more extensive
                                         rights than those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance
                                         Documents.



 


		28	VARIATIONS AND WAIVERS



 


		28.1	Variations,
                                         waivers etc. by Lenders. Subject to Clause 28.2, a document shall be effective to
                                         vary, waive, suspend or limit any provision of a Finance Document, or any Creditor Party’s
                                         rights or remedies under such a provision or the general law, only if the document is
                                         signed, or specifically agreed to by fax, by the Borrowers, by the Agent on behalf of
                                         the Majority Lenders, by the Agent and the Security Trustee in their own rights, and,
                                         if the document relates to a Finance Document to which a Security Party is party, by
                                         that Security Party.



 


		28.2	Variations,
                                         waivers etc. requiring agreement of all Lenders. As regards the following, Clause
                                         28.1 applies as if the words “by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders” were
                                         replaced by the words “by or on behalf of every Lender”:



 


		(a)	a reduction in the Margin;



 


		(b)	a postponement to the date for, or
                                         a reduction in the amount of, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable
                                         under this Agreement or the Note;



 


		(c)	an increase in any Lender’s Commitment;



 


		(d)	a change to the definition of “Lenders”;



 


		(e)	a change to Clause 3 or this Clause
                                         28;



 


		(f)	any release of, or material variation
                                         to, a Security Interest, guarantee, indemnity or subordination arrangement set out in
                                         a Finance Document; and



 


		(g)	any other change or matter as regards
                                         which this Agreement or another Finance Document expressly provides that each Lender’s
                                         consent is required.



 


		28.3	Variations,
                                         waivers etc. relating to the Servicing Banks. An amendment or waiver that relates
                                         to the rights or obligations of the Agent or the Security Trustee under Clause 31 may
                                         not be effected without the consent of the Agent or the Security Trustee.



 


		28.4	Exclusion
                                         of other or implied variations. Except for a document which satisfies the requirements
                                         of Clauses 28.1, 28.2 or 28.3, no document, and no act, course of conduct, failure or
                                         neglect to act, delay or acquiescence on the part of the Creditor Parties or any of them
                                         (or any person acting on behalf of any of them) shall result in the Creditor Parties
                                         or any of them (or any person acting on behalf of any of them) being taken to have varied,
                                         waived, suspended or limited, or being precluded (permanently or temporarily) from enforcing,
                                         relying on or exercising:



 




    	83



    	 



    

 


		(a)	a provision of this Agreement or another
                                         Finance Document; or



 


		(b)	an Event of Default; or



 


		(c)	a breach by the Borrowers or another
                                         Security Party of an obligation under a Finance Document or the general law; or



 


		(d)	any right or remedy conferred by any
                                         Finance Document or by the general law,



 


and there shall not be implied
into any Finance Document any term or condition requiring any such provision to be enforced, or such right or remedy to be exercised,
within a certain or reasonable time.

		29.3	Effective
                                         date of notices. Subject to Clauses 29.4 and 29.5:



 


		(a)	a notice which is delivered personally
                                         or posted shall be deemed to be served, and shall take effect, at the time when it is
                                         delivered;



 


		(b)	a notice which is sent by Email shall
                                         be deemed to be served, and shall take effect, at the time when it is actually received
                                         in readable form; and



 


		(c)	a notice which is sent by fax shall
                                         be deemed to be served, and shall take effect, two (2) hours after its transmission is

		29.4	Service
                                         outside business hours. However, if under Clause 29.3 a notice would be deemed to
                                         be served:



 


		(a)	on a day which is not a business day
                                         in the place of receipt; or



 


		(b)	on such a business day, but after 5:00
                                         p.m. local time,



 


the notice shall (subject to

		29.5	Illegible
                                         notices. Clauses 29.3 and 29.4 do not apply if the recipient of a notice notifies
                                         the sender within one (1) hour after the time at which the notice would otherwise be
                                         deemed to be served that the notice has been received in a form which is illegible in
                                         a material respect.



 


		29.6	Valid
                                         notices. A notice under or in connection with a Finance Document shall not be invalid
                                         by reason that its contents or the manner of serving it do not comply with the requirements
                                         of this Agreement or, where appropriate, any other Finance Document under which it is
                                         served if:



 


		(a)	the failure to serve it in accordance
                                         with the requirements of this Agreement or other Finance Document, as the case may be,
                                         has not caused any party to suffer any significant loss or prejudice; or



 


		(b)	in the case of incorrect and/or incomplete
                                         contents, it should have been reasonably clear to the party on which the notice was served
                                         what the correct or missing particulars should have been.



 


		29.7	Electronic
                                         communication between the Agent and a Lender. Any communication to be made between
                                         the Agent and a Lender under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be made

                                         Agent shall have received such directions, each of the Security Trustee and the Agent
                                         may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action,

                                         or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of either
                                         Borrower or any subsidiaries or affiliates thereof which may come into the possession
                                         of the Security Trustee, the Agent or any of their respective affiliates.

                                         Trustee or the Agent hereunder and under the other Finance Documents, each of the Security
                                         Trustee and the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to
                                         act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction
                                         from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Clause 31.6 against any and

                                         and Removal. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Security Trustee
                                         or Agent (as the case may be) as provided below, each of the Security Trustee and the

                                         and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lenders shall have the right

                                         may be, then the retiring Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf
                                         of the Lenders, appoint a successor Security Trustee or Agent. Upon the acceptance of
                                         any appointment as Security Trustee or Agent hereunder by a successor Security Trustee
                                         or Agent, such successor Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, shall thereupon

                                         retiring Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Security Trustee
                                         or Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring
                                         Security Trustee or Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Security Trustee
                                         or Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this Clause 31 shall continue in effect
                                         for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
                                         was acting as the Security Trustee or the Agent, as the case may be.
