obligations under this Agreement in respect of lending to the jurisdictions in which the Borrowers are incorporated and which are acceptable to the Agent and each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and each of
which confirms in writing (whether in the relevant Increase Confirmation or otherwise) its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that part of the increased Revolving Facility Commitments which it is
to assume (including in relation to the allocation of the Norwegian Sub Limit and English Sub Limit as specified by the Obligors’ Agent pursuant to Clause 2.2(b) (which proposed allocation shall be disclosed to all Lenders (including any
Increase Lender) as part of the request to increase the Revolving Facility Commitments and/or the Total Commitments (as applicable))), as if it had been an Original Lender in respect of those Revolving Facility Commitments; 


 

	 	(B)	each of the Obligors and any Increase Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another as the Obligors and the Increase Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had the
Increase Lender been an Original Lender in respect of that part of the increased Revolving Facility Commitments which it is to assume; 

  

	 	(C)	each Increase Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and any Increase Lender and each of the other Finance Parties shall assume obligations towards one another and acquire rights against one another
as that Increase Lender and those Finance Parties would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender in respect of that part of the increased Commitments which it is to assume; 


 

	 	(D)	the Revolving Facility Commitments of the other Lenders shall continue in full force and effect; and 

  

	 	(E)	any increase in the Revolving Facility Commitments shall take effect on the date specified by the Obligors’ Agent in the notice referred to above or any later date on which the conditions set out in Clause 2.2(b)
are satisfied. 

  

	 	(b)	Any increase requested pursuant to the provision of Clause 2.2(a)(ii) shall be in a minimum amount of USD 5,000,000 and shall be allocated between the Norwegian Sub Limit and the English Sub Limit as specified by the
Obligors’ Agent (which sub limits shall be increased accordingly). 


  
 48 









	 	(c)	An increase in the Revolving Facility Commitments will only be effective on the Agent executing a duly completed Increase Confirmation appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement which the Agent shall do as soon as practicable after receipt and it being satisfied, acting reasonably, that the following conditions are satisfied; 


 

	 	(i)	in relation to an Increase Lender which is not a Lender immediately prior to the relevant increase, the Agent has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all
applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assumption of the increased Revolving Facility Commitments by that Increase Lender; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the execution of any deeds of extension, confirmation agreement or equivalent documentation with respect to existing Transaction Security, reasonably required by the Agent or the Increase Lender, or required as a matter
of applicable local law ensuring that the Increase Lender will benefit from all existing Transaction Security and any other documentation reasonably requested by the Agent in connection with the increase; 


 

	 	(iii)	no Default is existing or will occur immediately following or as a result of such increase; 

  

	 	(iv)	the Repeating Representations are true and correct in all material respects and will be so true and correct on the date on which any such increase will become effective (or, if any Repeating Representation is expressed
to be given as of an earlier date, on such earlier date); 

  

	 	(v)	receipt of all previously invoiced and documented reasonable out of pocket fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to the Agent and the agreed upon fees of the Increase Lender(s) (other than any fees which
are only payable after such increase); and 

  

	 	(vi)	the Agent has received evidence satisfactory to the Agent (acting reasonably) that any such increase of the Total Commitments (if fully drawn) will not be in breach of the terms of any documentation evidencing the
Material Indebtedness. 

  

	 	(d)	The Agent may rely on any certification from an Obligor as to the matters referred to in paragraphs (iii), (iv) and (vi) above unless it has actual knowledge or reasonable belief that any such certification is
incorrect. 

  

	 	(e)	Each Increase Lender, by executing the Increase Confirmation, 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 this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the increase becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as it would have been had it
been an Original Lender. 


  
 49 









	 	(f)	Bristow Helicopters Limited shall promptly on demand pay the Agent and the Security Agent the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by either of them and, in the case of the
Security Agent, by any Receiver or Delegate in connection with any increase in Revolving Facility Commitments under this Clause 2.2. 

  

	 	(g)	The Increase Lender shall, on the date upon which the increase takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee in an amount equal to the fee which would be payable under Clause 29.3 (Assignment or transfer
fee) if the increase was a transfer pursuant to Clause 29.5 (Procedure for transfer) and if the Increase Lender was a New Lender. 

  

	 	(h)	The relevant Obligor(s) may pay to the Increase Lender a fee in the amount and at the times agreed to be paid by such Obligor in a Fee Letter between the Obligors’ Agent (or the relevant Obligor(s)) and the
Increase Lender. 

  

	 	(i)	Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to find an Increase Lender and in no event shall any Lender whose Revolving Facility Commitment is replaced by an Increase Lender be required to pay or
surrender any of the fees received by such Lender pursuant to the Finance Documents. 

  

	 	(j)	Clause 29.4 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders) shall apply mutatis mutandis in this Clause 2.2 in relation to an Increase Lender as if references in that Clause to: 


 

	 	(i)	an “Existing Lender” were references to all the Lenders immediately prior to the relevant increase; 

  

	 	(ii)	the “New Lender” were references to that “Increase Lender”; and 

  

	 	(iii)	a “re-transfer” and “re-assignment” were references to respectively a “transfer” and
“assignment”. 

  

	2.3	Finance Parties’ rights and obligations  

  

	 	(a)	The obligations of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several. Failure by a Finance Party to perform its obligations under the Finance Documents does not affect the obligations of any other Party under
the Finance Documents. No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents. 

  

	 	(b)	The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from an Obligor is a separate
and independent debt in respect of which a Finance Party shall be entitled to enforce its rights in accordance with Clause 2.3(c). The rights of each Finance Party include any debt owing to that Finance Party under the Finance Documents and, for the
avoidance of doubt, any part of a Loan or any other amount owed by an Obligor which relates to a Finance Party’s participation in a Facility or its role under a Finance Document (including any such amount payable to the Agent on its behalf) is
a debt owing to that Finance Party by that Obligor. 


  
 50 









	 	(c)	A Finance Party may, except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, separately enforce its rights under or in connection with the Finance Documents. 


 

	2.4	Obligors’ Agent 

  

	 	(a)	Each Obligor (other than the Parent) by its execution of this Agreement or an Accession Deed irrevocably appoints the Parent to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Finance Documents and irrevocably
authorises: 

  

	 	(i)	the Parent on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the Finance Parties and to give all notices and instructions (including, in the case of a Borrower, Utilisation
Requests), to execute on its behalf any Accession Deed, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of being given, made or effected by any Obligor notwithstanding that they may affect the
Obligor, without further reference to or the consent of that Obligor; and 

  

	 	(ii)	each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents to the Parent, 


and in each case the Obligor shall be bound as though the Obligor itself had given the notices and instructions (including any Utilisation
Requests) or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication. 
  

	 	(b)	Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by the Obligors’ Agent or given to the Obligors’ Agent under any
Finance Document on behalf of another Obligor or in connection with any Finance Document (whether or not known to any other Obligor and whether occurring before or after such other Obligor became an Obligor under any Finance Document) shall be
binding for all purposes on that Obligor as if that Obligor had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the Obligors’ Agent and any other Obligor, those of the
Obligors’ Agent shall prevail. 

  

	2.5	Banking Services and Swap Agreements 

 Each Lender providing (or which has an Affiliate
providing) Banking Services for, or having (or which has an Affiliate having) Swap Agreements with, any Borrower shall deliver to the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent on the date of this Agreement and, promptly after entering into (or an Affiliate
entering into) such Banking Services or Swap Agreements, written notice setting out the aggregate amount of all Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations of such Borrower to such Lender and its Affiliates (whether matured or
unmatured, absolute or contingent) and containing a confirmation from the relevant Affiliate (if applicable) that it agrees to 

  
 51 








 
the Transaction Security being held on the terms set out in the Finance Documents. In addition, each such Lender shall deliver to the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent, following the end of each
calendar month, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations to such Lender and its Affiliates. The most recent information provided to the Agent shall be used in
determining the amounts to be applied in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Agreement Obligations pursuant to Clause 36.6 (Partial payments). 

 

	3.	PURPOSE 

  

	3.1	Purpose 

  

	 	(a)	Each Borrower shall apply all amounts borrowed by it towards the working capital needs and the general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. 


 

	 	(b)	No Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent) will request any Utilisation, and no Borrower shall use, and each Borrower shall procure that its Subsidiaries, the other members of the Group and its and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any Revolving Facility Loan or Swingline Loan: 

  

	 	(i)	in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws; 


 

	 	(ii)	for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country; or 


 

	 	(iii)	in any manner that would result in the violation by any such person or entity or any party to this Agreement of any Sanctions. 

  

	3.2	Monitoring  

 No Finance Party is bound to monitor or verify the application of any
amount borrowed pursuant to this Agreement. 
  

	4.	CONDITIONS OF UTILISATION 

  

	4.1	Initial conditions precedent 

  

	 	(a)	The Lenders will only be obliged to comply with Clause 5.4 (Lenders’ participation) in relation to any Utilisation if on or before the Utilisation Date for that Utilisation, the Agent has received all of the
documents and other evidence listed in Schedule 2, Part 1 (Conditions precedent to signing of the Agreement and initial Utilisation) in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent shall notify the Obligors’
Agent and the Lenders promptly upon being so satisfied. 


  
 52 









	 	(b)	Other than to the extent that the Majority Lenders notify the Agent in writing to the contrary before the Agent gives the notification described in Clause 4.1(a), the Lenders authorise (but do not require) the
Agent to give that notification. The Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever as a result of giving any such notification. 

  

	4.2	Further conditions precedent 

 Subject to Clause 4.1, the Lenders will only be obliged to
comply with Clause 5.4 (Lenders’ participation), if on the date of the Utilisation Request and on the proposed Utilisation Date:

proposed Utilisation; 

  

	 	(b)	after the making of the proposed Utilisation, the Facility would be in compliance with the limits set out in Clause 5.3(b)(v) (Currency and amount) and/or Clause 6.4(b)(v) (Currency and amount);

 SECTION 3 

UTILISATION 
  

	5.	UTILISATION - LOANS 

  

	5.1	Delivery of a Utilisation Request 

 A Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on its
behalf) may utilise the Facility by delivery to the Agent of a duly completed Utilisation Request not later than the Specified Time. 
  

	5.2	Completion of a Utilisation Request for Loans 

  

	 	(a)	Each Utilisation Request for a Loan is irrevocable and will not be regarded as having been duly completed unless: 

  

	 	(i)	it identifies the Borrower; 

  

	 	(ii)	it identifies whether requested Loan is to be a LIBOR Rate Loan, a NIBOR Rate Loan, an ABR Rate Loan or a Foreign Base Rate Loan;

	 	(iv)	if the currency selected is Norwegian Kroner, a minimum of NOK 2,000,000 or, if less, the lesser of (A) the Availability for the relevant Borrower and (B) the Aggregate Availability and (C) the maximum
amount available to be borrowed by the relevant Borrower in compliance with paragraph (v) below; and 

  

	 	(v)	in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in: 

  

	 	(A)	any Lender’s Revolving Facility Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment; or 

  

	 	(B)	the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeding the lesser of (x) the Total Commitments and (y) the Aggregate Borrowing Base; or 


 

	 	(C)	with respect to the relevant Borrower, the Lenders’ Revolving Facility Exposure in relation to such Borrower, exceeding the lesser of (x) the Total Commitments, (y) the Borrowing Base of the relevant
Borrower and (z) in the case of the Norwegian Borrower, the Norwegian Sub Limit or in the case of the English Borrower, the English Sub Limit. 

  

	5.4	Lenders’ participation 

  

	 	(a)	If the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met, and subject to Clause 10.1 (Repayment of Loans), each Lender shall make its participation in each Loan available by the Utilisation Date through its
Facility Office. 

  

	 	(b)	The amount of each Lender’s participation in each Loan will be equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Total Commitments immediately prior to making the Loan. 


 

	 	(c)	The Agent shall determine the Base Currency Amount of each Revolving Facility Loan which is to be made in an Agreed Currency and notify each Lender of the amount, currency and the Base Currency Amount of each Loan, the
amount of its participation in that Loan and, if different, the amount of that participation to be made available in accordance with Clause 36.1 (Payments to the Agent) by the Specified Time. 


 

	5.5	Lender Affiliates and Facility Office 

  

	 	(a)	In respect of a Loan or Loans to a particular Borrower (“Designated Loans”) a Lender (a “Designating Lender”) may at any time and from time to time, acting reasonably, designate (by
three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent or such shorter period as they may agree): 


  
 55 









	 	(i)	a substitute Facility Office from which it will make Designated Loans (a “Substitute Facility Office”); or 

  

	 	(ii)	nominate an Affiliate to act as the Lender of Designated Loans (a “Substitute Affiliate Lender”), 


provided that a Designating Lender may only designate a Substitute Facility Office or nominate a Substitute Affiliate Lender pursuant to this
Clause to the extent that the relevant Substitute Facility Office or the Substitute Affiliate Lender is legally able to lend to the relevant Borrower. 
  

	 	(b)	A notice to nominate a Substitute Affiliate Lender must be in the form set out in Schedule 8 (Form of Substitute Affiliate Lender Designation Notice) and be countersigned by the relevant Substitute Affiliate
Lender confirming it will be bound as a Lender under this Agreement in respect of the Designated Loans in respect of which it acts as Lender. 

  

	 	(c)	The Designating Lender will act as the representative of any Substitute Affiliate Lender it nominates for all administrative purposes under this Agreement. The Obligors, the Agent and the other Finance Parties will be
entitled to deal only with the Designating Lender, except that payments will be made (by the Agent, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) in respect of Designated Loans to the Facility Office of the Substitute Affiliate Lender. In
particular the Revolving Facility Commitments of the Designating Lender will not be treated as reduced by the introduction of the Substitute Affiliate Lender for voting purposes under this Agreement or the other Finance Documents nor will the
participations of such Substitute Affiliate Lender in Designated Loans entitle it to any rights or otherwise be treated as Revolving Facility Commitments for voting purposes under this Agreement or the other Finance Documents, provided that if the
Substitute Affiliate Lender is a Defaulting Lender the Designating Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for voting purposes under this Agreement. 

  

	 	(d)	Save as mentioned in paragraph (c) above, a Substitute Affiliate Lender will be treated as a Lender for all purposes under the Finance Documents and having a Revolving Facility Commitment equal to the principal
amount of its outstanding participations in all Designated Loans in which it is participating if and for so long as it continues to be a Substitute Affiliate Lender under this Agreement. 


 

	 	(e)	A Designating Lender may revoke its designation of an Affiliate as a Substitute Affiliate Lender by notice in writing to the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent provided that such notice may only take effect when there
are no Designated Loans outstanding to the Substitute Affiliate Lender. Upon such Substitute Affiliate Lender ceasing to be a Substitute Affiliate Lender the Designating Lender will automatically assume (and be deemed to assume without further
action by any Party) all rights and obligations previously vested in the Substitute Affiliate Lender. 

  

  
 56 









	 	(f)	If a Designating Lender designates a Substitute Facility Office or Substitute Affiliate Lender in accordance with this clause: 

  

	 	(i)	any Substitute Affiliate Lender shall be treated for the purposes of Clause 18.2(d)(i) (Tax gross-up) as having become a Lender on the date of this Agreement;


  

	 	(ii)	the Designating Lender shall ensure that the relevant Substitute Affiliate Lender funds its participations in Loans to be funded by such Substitute Affiliate Lender and performs each obligation it would be required to
perform if it was a Party; and 

  

	 	(iii)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the designation occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the Substitute Affiliate Lender or Designating Lender acting through a Substitute Facility
Office under Clause 19 (Increased costs), then, the Substitute Affiliate Lender or Designating Lender acting through a Substitute Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Designating
Lender would have been if the designation had not occurred. 

  

	5.6	Cancellation of Commitment  

 The Revolving Facility Commitments which, at that time, are
unutilised shall be immediately cancelled at the end of the Availability Period. 
  

	5.7	Adjustment of Sub Limits 

  

	 	(a)	Not more than once in any six month period, the Obligors’ Agent may make a request to the Agent in writing (an “Adjustment Request”) that the amount of either or both of the Norwegian Sub Limit
and/or the English Sub Limit be increased or decreased (a “Sub Limit Adjustment”) provided always that the net result of any such requested increase or decrease shall result in the aggregate amount of the Norwegian Sub Limit and the
English Sub Limit equalling the Total Commitments at such time. 

  

	 	(b)	Any Sub Limit Adjustment in excess of USD 7,500,000 (whether an increase or decrease but without counting both an increase and decrease in determining the amount of the Sub Limit Adjustment for this purpose) from the
amount of the sub limits as at the date of this Agreement shall require the consent of all of the Lenders. Any Sub Limit Adjustment less than USD 7,500,000 (whether an increase or decrease) from the amount of the sub limits as at the date of
this Agreement shall only require the consent of the Majority Lenders, in each case acting reasonably. 

  

	 	(c)	Following the receipt of an Adjustment Request, the Agent shall inform the Lenders accordingly and request their consent to the relevant Sub Limit Adjustment. 


 

	 	(d)	The Lenders may, acting reasonably, request any information from the Obligors’ Agent in relation to such Sub Limit Adjustment, which the Obligors’ Agent shall use reasonable endeavours to provide.



  
 57 









	 	(e)	If the consent of the relevant Lenders (pursuant to Clause 5.7(b)) has not been received within ten Business Days of receipt by the Lenders from the Agent of the Adjustment Request, the Adjustment Request shall be
deemed to be rejected and no such Sub Limit Adjustment shall be made. 

  

	 	(f)	The Lenders may give their consent to any Adjustment Request subject to such conditions as they may reasonably request but no such conditions shall be effective unless agreed by the Borrowers (provided always if the
Obligors do not satisfy such conditions, the Lenders shall not be under any obligation to agree to the Adjustment Request). 

  

	 	(g)	If the applicable Lenders give their approval to the Adjustment Request then the Norwegian Sub Limit and the English Sub Limit shall be adjusted accordingly as requested with effect from the date set out in the
Adjustment Request (or any later date agreed between the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent) and on such date, if applicable the Agent shall effect such changes (if any) to the outstanding Loans which are necessary to ensure compliance with the new
Norwegian Sub Limit and the new English Sub Limit, and the Obligors’ Agent and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have made such prepayment requests and shall be deemed to have submitted such Utilisation Requests as may be necessary to effect
such changes. 

  

	5.8	Revaluation of Loans 

 If any Loans are denominated in an Agreed Currency, the Agent
shall, at the end of each calendar month, recalculate the Base Currency Amount of each such Loan by notionally converting into the Base Currency the outstanding amount of that Loan on the basis of the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange on the date
of calculation and notify the Obligors’ Agent of such recalculation within seven Business Days of the end of each calendar month. The Obligors’ Agent shall use the most recently notified amounts of such Loans for the purposes of the next
Aggregate Borrowing Base Certificate following the date of such notification. 
  

	6.	UTILISATION - LETTERS OF CREDIT  

  

	6.1	The Revolving Facility 

  

	 	(a)	The Revolving Facility may be utilised by way of Letters of Credit.

any cash cover provided for outstanding Letters of Credit. 

  

	6.2	Delivery of a Utilisation Request for Letters of Credit 

 A Borrower (or the
Obligors’ Agent on its behalf) may request a Letter of Credit to be issued by delivery to the Agent of a duly completed Utilisation Request not later than the Specified Time. A Letter of Credit may be requested to be issued on behalf of another
member of the Group by a Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on behalf of a Borrower) and the requesting Borrower shall be the Borrower of that Letter of Credit.

	 	(a)	If the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met, the Issuing Bank shall issue the Letter of Credit on the Utilisation Date. 


 

	 	(b)	Subject to Clause 4.1 (Initial conditions precedent), the Issuing Bank will only be obliged to comply with Clause 6.5(a), if on the date of the Utilisation Request or Renewal Request and on the proposed
Utilisation Date: 

  

	 	(i)	in the case of a Letter of Credit to be renewed in accordance with Clause 6.6 no Event of Default is continuing or would result from the proposed Utilisation and, in the case of any other Utilisation, no Default is
continuing or would result from the proposed Utilisation; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Repeating Representations to be made by each Obligor are true in all material respects. 


  
 60 









	 	(c)	The amount of each Lender’s participation in each Letter of Credit will be equal to its L/C Proportion. 

  

	 	(d)	The Agent shall determine the Base Currency Amount of each Letter of Credit which is to be issued in an Agreed Currency and shall notify the Issuing Bank and each Lender of the details of the requested Letter of Credit
and its participation in that Letter of Credit by the Specified Time. 

  

	 	(e)	The Issuing Bank has no duty to enquire of any person whether or not any of the conditions set out in Clause 6.5(b) have been met. The Issuing Bank may assume that those conditions have been met unless it is expressly
notified to the contrary by the Agent. The Issuing Bank will have no liability to any person for issuing a Letter of Credit based on such assumption. 

  

	 	(f)	The Issuing Bank is solely responsible for the form of the Letter of Credit that it issues. The Agent has no duty to monitor the form of that document. 


 

	 	(g)	Subject to Clause 32.7(i) (Rights and discretions), each of the Issuing Bank and the Agent shall provide the other with any information reasonably requested by the other that relates to a Letter of Credit and its
issue. 

  

	 	(h)	The Issuing Bank may issue a Letter of Credit in the form of a SWIFT message or other form of communication customary in the relevant market but has no obligation to do so. 


 

	6.6	Renewal of a Letter of Credit 

  

	 	(a)	A Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf) may request that any Letter of Credit issued at the request of that Borrower be renewed by delivery to the Agent of a Renewal Request in substantially similar form
to a Utilisation Request for a Letter of Credit by the Specified Time. 

  

	 	(b)	The Finance Parties shall treat any Renewal Request in the same way as a Utilisation Request for a Letter of Credit except that the condition set out in Clause 6.3(f) shall not apply. 


 

	 	(c)	The terms of each renewed Letter of Credit shall be the same as those of the relevant Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal, except that: 


 

	 	(i)	its amount may be less than the amount of the Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal; and 

  

	 	(ii)	its Term shall start on the date which was the Expiry Date of the Letter of Credit immediately prior to its renewal, and shall end on the proposed Expiry Date specified in the Renewal Request. 


 

	 	(d)	Subject to Clause 6.6(e), if the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met, the Issuing Bank shall amend and re-issue any Letter of Credit pursuant to a Renewal Request.



  
 61 









	 	(e)	Where a new Letter of Credit is to be issued to replace by way of renewal an existing Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank is not required to issue that new Letter of Credit until the Letter of Credit being replaced has
been returned to the Issuing Bank or the Issuing Bank is satisfied, acting reasonably, either that it will be returned to it or otherwise that no liability can arise under it. 


 

	6.7	Reduction of a Letter of Credit 

  

	 	(a)	If, on the proposed Utilisation Date of a Letter of Credit, any Lender under the Revolving Facility is a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and: 


 

	 	(i)	that Lender has failed to provide cash collateral to the Issuing Bank in accordance with Clause 7.4 (Cash collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and Borrower’s
option to provide cash cover); and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Borrower of that proposed Letter of Credit has not exercised its right to provide cash cover to the Issuing Bank in accordance with Clause 7.4(g) (Cash collateral by
Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and Borrower’s option to provide cash cover), 


the Issuing Bank may, subject to paragraph (d) below, reduce the amount of that Letter of Credit by an amount equal to the amount of the
participation of that Non-Acceptable L/C Lender in respect of that Letter of Credit and that Non-Acceptable L/C Lender shall be deemed not to have any participation (or
obligation to indemnify the Issuing Bank) in respect of that Letter of Credit for the purposes of the Finance Documents. 
  

	 	(b)	The Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent of each reduction made pursuant to this Clause 6.7. 

  

	 	(c)	This Clause 6.7 shall not affect the participation of each other Lender in that Letter of Credit except for any increase in their participation pursuant to paragraph (d) below. 


 

	 	(d)	If paragraph (a) applies and there are sufficient Available Commitments of other Lenders who are not Non-Acceptable L/C Lenders the Issuing Bank shall not reduce a Letter of
Credit but instead the relevant Non-Acceptable L/C Lender shall cease to have any participation in respect of that Letter of Credit and its participations will be reallocated to such other Lenders pro rata to
their Available Commitments. 

  

	6.8	Revaluation of Letters of Credit 

 If any Letters of Credit are denominated in an Agreed
Currency, the Agent shall, at the end of each calendar month, recalculate the Base Currency Amount of each such Letter of Credit by notionally converting into the Base Currency the outstanding amount of that Letter of Credit on the basis of the
Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange on the date of calculation and notify the Obligors’ Agent of such recalculation within seven Business Days of the end of each calendar month. The Obligors’ Agent shall use the most recently notified
amounts of such Letters of Credit for the purposes of the next Aggregate Borrowing Base Certificate following the date of such notification. 

  
 62 









	6.9	Reduction or expiry of Letter of Credit 

 If the amount of any Letter of Credit is wholly
or partially reduced or it is repaid or prepaid or it expires prior to its Expiry Date, the relevant Issuing Bank and the Borrower that requested (or on behalf of which the Obligors’ Agent requested) the issue of that Letter of Credit shall
promptly notify the Agent of the details upon becoming aware of them. 
  

	6.10	Appointment of additional Issuing Banks 

 Any Lender which has agreed to the
Obligors’ Agent’s request to be an Issuing Bank for the purposes of this Agreement shall become a Party as an “Issuing Bank” upon notifying the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent that it has so agreed to be an Issuing Bank. 

 

	7.	LETTERS OF CREDIT 

  

	7.1	Immediately payable 

 If a Letter of Credit or any amount outstanding under a Letter of
Credit is expressed to be immediately payable, the Borrower that requested (or on behalf of which the Obligors’ Agent requested) the issue of that Letter of Credit shall repay or prepay that amount immediately. 

 

	7.2	Claims under a Letter of Credit 

  

	 	(a)	Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally authorises the Issuing Bank to pay any claim made or purported to be made under a Letter of Credit requested by it (or requested by the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf)
and which appears on its face to be in order (in this Clause 7, a “claim”). 

  

	 	(b)	Each Borrower shall immediately on demand pay to the Agent for the Issuing Bank an amount equal to the amount of any claim. 

  

	 	(c)	Each Borrower acknowledges that the Issuing Bank: 

  

	 	(i)	is not obliged to carry out any investigation or seek any confirmation from any other person before paying a claim; and 

  

	 	(ii)	deals in documents only and will not be concerned with the legality of a claim or any underlying transaction or any available set-off, counterclaim or other defence of any person.


  

	 	(d)	The obligations of a Borrower under this Clause 7 will not be affected by: 

  

	 	(i)	the sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of any claim or any other document; or 

  

	 	(ii)	any incapacity of, or limitation on the powers of, any person signing a claim or other document. 


  
 63 









	7.3	Indemnities 

  

	 	(a)	Each Borrower shall immediately on demand indemnify the Issuing Bank against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful
misconduct) in acting as the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit requested by (or on behalf of) that Borrower. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Lender shall (according to its L/C Proportion) immediately on demand indemnify the Issuing Bank against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason of the Issuing Bank’s
gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (unless the Issuing Bank has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document). 


 

	 	(c)	The Borrower which requested (or on behalf of which the Obligors’ Agent requested) a Letter of Credit shall immediately on demand reimburse any Lender for any payment it makes to the Issuing Bank under this Clause
7.3 in respect of that Letter of Credit. 

  

	 	(d)	The obligations of each Lender or Borrower under this Clause are continuing obligations and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by that Lender or Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit, regardless
of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part. 

  

	 	(e)	If a Borrower has provided cash cover in respect of a Lender’s participation in a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall seek reimbursement from that cash cover before making a demand of that Lender under Clause
7.3(b). Any recovery made by an Issuing Bank pursuant to that cash cover will reduce that Lender’s liability under Clause 7.3(b). 

  

	 	(f)	The obligations of any Lender or Borrower under this Clause will not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this
Clause (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any other person) including: 

  

	 	(i)	any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of Credit or any other person; 


 

	 	(ii)	the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor or any member of the Group; 


 

	 	(iii)	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of
Credit or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full
value of any security; 


  
 64 









	 	(iv)	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor, any beneficiary under a Letter of Credit or any other person; 


 

	 	(v)	any amendment (however fundamental) or replacement of a Finance Document, any Letter of Credit or any other document or security; 

  

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


 

	 	(vii)	any insolvency or similar proceedings. 

  

	7.4	Cash collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and Borrower’s option to provide cash cover 


 

	 	(a)	If, at any time, a Lender under the Revolving Facility is a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender, the Issuing Bank may, by notice to that Lender, request that Lender to pay and that Lender
shall pay, on or prior to the date falling two Business Days after the request by the Issuing Bank, an amount equal to that Lender’s L/C Proportion of: 

  

	 	(i)	the outstanding amount of a Letter of Credit; or 

  

	 	(ii)	in the case of a proposed Letter of Credit, the amount of that proposed Letter of Credit, 

 and
in the currency of that Letter of Credit to an interest-bearing account held in the name of that Lender with the Issuing Bank. 
  

	 	(b)	The Non-Acceptable L/C Lender to whom a request has been made in accordance with Clause 7.4(a) shall enter into a security document or other form of collateral arrangement over
the account, in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, as collateral for any amounts due and payable under this Agreement by that Lender to the Issuing Bank in respect of that Letter of Credit. 


 

	 	(c)	Subject to Clause 7.4(f), withdrawals from such an account may only be made to pay the Issuing Bank amounts due and payable to it under this Agreement by the Non-Acceptable L/C
Lender in respect of that Letter of Credit until no amount is or may be outstanding under that Letter of Credit. 

  

	 	(d)	Each Lender under the Revolving Facility shall notify the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent: 

  

	 	(i)	on the date of this Agreement or on any later date on which it becomes such a Lender in accordance with Clause 2.2 (Increase) or Clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders) whether it is a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; and 

  

	 	(ii)	as soon as practicable upon becoming aware of the same, that it has become a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender, 


  
 65 









	 	
and an indication in Schedule 1 (The Original Parties), in a Transfer Certificate, in an Assignment Agreement or in an Increase Confirmation to that effect will constitute a notice under
Clause 7.4(d)(i) to the Agent and, upon delivery in accordance with Clause 29.7 (Copy of Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation to Obligors’ Agent), to the Obligors’ Agent. 


 

	 	(e)	Any notice received by the Agent pursuant to Clause 7.4(d) shall constitute notice to the Issuing Bank of that Lender’s status and the Agent shall, upon receiving each such notice, promptly notify the Issuing Bank
of that Lender’s status as specified in that notice. 

  

	 	(f)	Notwithstanding Clause 7.4(c), a Lender which has provided cash collateral in accordance with this Clause 7.4 may, by notice to the Issuing Bank, request that an amount equal to the amount provided by it as collateral
in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit (together with any accrued interest) be returned to it: 

  

	 	(i)	to the extent that such cash collateral has not been applied in satisfaction of any amount due and payable under this Agreement by that Lender to the Issuing Bank in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit;


  

	 	(ii)	if: 

  

	 	(A)	it ceases to be a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; 

  

	 	(B)	its obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit are transferred to a New Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or 


 

	 	(C)	an Increase Lender has agreed to undertake that Lender’s obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and 


 

	 	(iii)	if no amount is due and payable by that Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit, 

 and the
Issuing Bank shall pay that amount to the Lender within three Business Days of that Lender’s request (and shall cooperate with the Lender in order to procure that the relevant security or collateral arrangement is released and discharged). 

 

	 	(g)	To the extent that a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender fails to provide cash collateral (or notifies the Issuing Bank that it will not provide cash collateral) in accordance with this
Clause 7.4 in respect of a proposed Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Obligors’ Agent (with a copy to the Agent) and the Borrower of that proposed Letter of Credit may, at any time before the proposed Utilisation Date
of that Letter of Credit, provide cash cover to an account with the Issuing Bank in an amount equal to that Lender’s L/C Proportion of the amount of that proposed Letter of Credit. 


  
 66 









	7.5	Requirement for cash cover from Borrower 

 If: 

 

	 	(a)	a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender fails to provide cash collateral (or notifies the Issuing Bank that it will not provide cash collateral) in accordance with Clause 7.4 (Cash
collateral by Non-Acceptable L/C Lender and Borrower’s option to provide cash cover) in respect of a Letter of Credit that has been issued; 


 

	 	(b)	the Issuing Bank notifies the Obligors’ Agent (with a copy to the Agent) that it requires the Borrower of the relevant Letter of Credit to provide cash cover to an account with the Issuing Bank in an amount equal
to that Non-Acceptable L/C Lender’s L/C Proportion of the outstanding amount of that Letter of Credit (or if less, the amount of cash cover the Non-Acceptable L/C
Lender has failed to provide); 

  

	 	(c)	that Borrower has not already provided such cash cover which is continuing to stand as collateral; and 

  

	 	(d)	a Cash Dominion Period is continuing, 

 then that Borrower shall provide such cash cover within
10 Business Days of the notice referred to in Clause 7.5(b) (unless the relevant Non-Acceptable L/C Lender has been replaced as a Lender). 

 

	7.6	Regulation and consequences of cash cover provided by Borrower 

  

	 	(a)	Any cash cover provided by a Borrower pursuant to Clause 7.4 or Clause 7.5 may be funded out of a Revolving Facility Loan. 

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding Clause 1.2(e) (Construction), the relevant Borrower may request that an amount equal to the cash cover (together with any accrued interest) provided by it pursuant to Clause 7.4 or Clause 7.5 be
returned to it: 

  

	 	(i)	to the extent that such cash cover has not been applied in satisfaction of any amount due and payable under this Agreement by that Borrower to the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit; 


 

	 	(ii)	if: 

  

	 	(A)	the relevant Lender ceases to be a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; 

  

	 	(B)	the relevant Lender’s obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit are transferred to a New Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or 


 

	 	(C)	an Increase Lender has agreed to undertake the relevant Lender’s obligations in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and 


  
 67 









	 	(iii)	if no amount is due and payable by the relevant Lender in respect of the relevant Letter of Credit, 


and the Issuing Bank shall pay that amount to that Borrower within 3 Business Days of that Borrower’s request. 

 

	 	(c)	To the extent that a Borrower has provided cash cover pursuant to Clause 7.4 or Clause 7.5, the relevant Lender’s L/C Proportion in respect of that Letter of Credit will remain (but that Lender’s obligations
in relation to that Letter of Credit may be satisfied in accordance with Clause 1.2(e)(ii) (Construction)). However the relevant Borrower’s obligation to pay any Letter of Credit fee in relation to the relevant Letter of Credit to the
Agent (for the account of that Lender) in accordance with Clause 17.3(b) (Fees payable in respect of Letters of Credit) will be reduced proportionately as from the date on which it provides that cash cover (and for so long as the relevant
amount of cash cover continues to stand as collateral). 

  

	 	(d)	The relevant Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of the extent to which a Borrower provides cash cover pursuant to Clause 7.4 or Clause 7.5 and of any change in the amount of cash cover so provided.


  

	7.7	Rights of contribution 

 No Obligor will be entitled to any right of contribution or
indemnity from any Finance Party in respect of any payment it may make under this Clause 7 (other than a Defaulting Lender which has failed to comply with this Clause 7, provided always that in no event shall any right of contribution or indemnity
attach to, or adversely affect, any other Finance Party). 
  

	8.	SWINGLINE LOANS 

  

	 	(a)	The Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders agree that a Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on behalf of a Borrower) may request a Swingline Loan by submitting a duly completed Utilisation Request by the
Specified Time. Following such request, the terms of this Clause 8 apply and the Swingline Lender will, on behalf of the Lenders and in the amount requested, advance same day funds to the relevant Borrower, on the date of the applicable Utilisation
to the bank account nominated by the relevant Borrower for the purpose of receiving such amounts from time to time (each such loan made solely by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Clause 8 is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline
Loan”), with settlement among the Lenders as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set out in this Clause 8. 

  

	 	(b)	Except as otherwise provided in this Clause 8, each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Loans funded by the Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to
the Swingline Lender solely for its own account. 

  

	 	(c)	The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed USD 7,500,000. 


  
 68 









	 	(d)	The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan exceeds Aggregate Availability or the relevant Borrower’s Availability (taking into account the English Sub Limit or the
Norwegian Sub Limit (as applicable)) before or after giving effect to such Swingline Loan. 

  

	 	(e)	Upon the making of a Swingline Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement (as defined below) has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan), each
Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan in
proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Facility Commitment. 

  

	 	(f)	The Swingline Lender may, at any time, require the Lenders to fund their participations referred to in paragraph (e). From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any
Swingline Loan purchased hereunder, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Charged Property received by the Agent in respect of such
Swingline Loan. 

  

	 	(g)	The Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, may request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Agent elects, by notifying the relevant Lenders
of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 11.00 a.m. London time on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than
the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Swingline Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the
Agent, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, not later than 3.00 p.m., on such Settlement Date. 

  

	 	(h)	Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set out in Clause 4.2 (Further conditions precedent) have then been satisfied. Such amounts
transferred to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with the Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute ABR Rate Loans of such
Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Agent by any Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender on demand such amount, together with interest thereon.


  

	 	(i)	All Swingline Loans will be denominated in US dollars. 

  

	9.	AGREED CURRENCIES  

  

	9.1	Selection of currency 

 A Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf) shall
select the currency of a Utilisation in a Utilisation Request. 

  
 69 









	9.2	Unavailability of a currency 

 If before the Specified Time on any Quotation Day: 

 

	 	(a)	a Lender notifies the Agent that the Agreed Currency requested is not readily available to it in the amount required; or 

  

	 	(b)	a Lender notifies the Agent that compliance with its obligation to participate in a Loan in the proposed Agreed Currency would contravene a law or regulation applicable to it, 


the Agent will give notice to the relevant Borrower to that effect by the Specified Time on that day. In this event, any Lender that gives
notice pursuant to this Clause 9.2 will be required to participate in the Loan in the Base Currency (in an amount equal to that Lender’s proportion of the Base Currency Amount, or in respect of a Rollover Loan, an amount equal to that
Lender’s proportion of the Base Currency Amount of the Rollover Loan that is due to be made) and its participation will be treated as a separate Loan denominated in the Base Currency during that Interest Period. 

 

	9.3	Agent’s calculations 

 Each Lender’s participation in a Loan will be determined
in accordance with Clause 5.4(b) (Lenders’ participation). 

  
 70 








 SECTION 4 

REPAYMENT, PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION 
  

	10.	REPAYMENT 

  

	10.1	Repayment of Loans and Letters of Credit 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to Clause 10.1(d), each Borrower which has drawn a Revolving Facility Loan shall repay that Loan: 

  

	 	(i)	on the last day of its Interest Period (in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans and NIBOR Rate Loans); and 

  

	 	(ii)	on the Termination Date (in the case of ABR Rate Loans and Foreign Base Rate Loans). 

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding the above, all Loans (including Swingline Loans) shall be repaid in full on the Termination Date. 

  

	 	(c)	Without prejudice to each Borrower’s obligation under Clause 10.1(a), if: 

  

	 	(i)	one or more Revolving Facility Loans are to be made available to a Borrower: 

  

	 	(A)	on the same day that a maturing Revolving Facility Loan is due to be repaid by that Borrower; 

  

	 	(B)	in the same currency as the maturing Revolving Facility Loan (unless it arose as a result of the operation of Clause 9.2 (Unavailability of a currency)); and 


 

	 	(C)	in whole or in part for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Revolving Facility Loan; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the proportion borne by each Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan to the amount of that maturing Revolving Facility Loan is the same as the proportion borne by that Lender’s
participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans to the aggregate amount of those new Revolving Facility Loans, 

 the
aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans shall, unless the relevant Borrower or the Obligors’ Agent notifies the Agent to the contrary in the relevant Utilisation Request, be treated as if applied in or towards repayment of the
maturing Revolving Facility Loan so that: 
  

	 	(A)	if the amount of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan exceeds the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans: 

  

	 	(1)	the relevant Borrower will only be required to make a payment under Clause 36.1 (Payments to the Agent) in an amount in the relevant currency equal to that excess; and 


  
 71 









	 	(2)	each Lender’s participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans shall be treated as having been made available and applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender’s participation in the maturing
Revolving Facility Loan and that Lender will not be required to make a payment under Clause 36.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans; and 


 

	 	(B)	if the amount of the maturing Revolving Facility Loan is equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the new Revolving Facility Loans: 


 

	 	(1)	the relevant Borrower will not be required to make a payment under Clause 36.1 (Payments to the Agent); and 

  

	 	(2)	each Lender will be required to make a payment under Clause 36.1 (Payments to the Agent) in respect of its participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans only to the extent that its participation in the new
Revolving Facility Loans exceeds that Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan and the remainder of that Lender’s participation in the new Revolving Facility Loans shall be treated as having been made available and
applied by the Borrower in or towards repayment of that Lender’s participation in the maturing Revolving Facility Loan. 

  

	 	(d)	At any time when a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the maturity date of each of the participations of that Lender in the Revolving Facility Loans then outstanding will be automatically extended to the Termination
Date and will be treated as separate Revolving Facility Loans (the “Separate Loans”) denominated in the currency in which the relevant participations are outstanding. 


 

	 	(e)	A Borrower may repay any Separate Loan by giving not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent. The Agent will forward a copy of a prepayment notice received in accordance with this Clause 10.1(e) to
the Defaulting Lender concerned as soon as practicable on receipt. 

  

	 	(f)	Interest in respect of a Separate Loan will accrue on the same basis as the relevant Revolving Facility Loan and if the relevant Revolving Facility Loan was a LIBOR Rate Loan or NIBOR Rate Loan for successive Interest
Periods selected by the Borrower by the time and date specified by the Agent (acting reasonably) and will be payable by that Borrower to the Agent (for the account of that Defaulting Lender) on the last day of each Interest Period of that Loan.



  
 72 









	 	(g)	The terms of this Agreement relating to Revolving Facility Loans generally shall continue to apply to Separate Loans other than to the extent inconsistent with Clause 10.1(d) to (f) above, in which case those
paragraphs shall prevail in respect of any Separate Loan. 

  

	 	(h)	Each Borrower on whose behalf a Letter of Credit has been issued which is outstanding on the Termination Date shall repay that Letter of Credit on the Termination Date. 


 

	10.2	Restrictions on Receivables and Cash Dominion 

  

	 	(a)	Each Borrower covenants with the Agent that it will: 

  

	 	(i)	not (without the prior written consent of the Agent) create Security over (otherwise than pursuant to the Transaction Security Documents), dispose of, release, set off, compound or otherwise deal with the Receivables of
Eligible Account Debtors otherwise than by getting in and realising them in the ordinary and proper course of its business (and for this purpose the realisation of the Receivables of Eligible Account Debtors by means of block discounting, factoring
or the like shall not be regarded as dealing in the ordinary and proper course of its business); 

  

	 	(ii)	pay or procure the payment of the proceeds of Receivables of Eligible Account Debtors (other than Excluded Receivables) into a Collection Account governed by a mandate and/or other agreement in each case in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent (including a Deposit Account Control Agreement) and conferring control over such account on the Security Agent in the use of any Collection Account of an English Borrower and each Borrower hereby declares itself
trustee of proceeds of any such Receivables not from time to time so paid to hold the same upon trust (or, in jurisdictions where the concept of trust is not recognised, as agent) for the Security Agent to pay the same to the Agent in or towards
payment and discharge of the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as the Agent may in its absolute and unfettered discretion from time to time conclusively determine, it being understood and agreed that if the proceeds of Receivables of
Eligible Account Debtors invoiced as of the date of this Agreement are paid into the accounts indicated on the relevant invoices and promptly transferred to the relevant Collection Account (and until such time as such amounts are so transferred,
they shall be held on trust by the relevant Borrower for the Agent) any such payment shall not be a breach of any provisions of any Finance Document or render any such Receivable as not being an Eligible Receivable and any prompt payment by a
Borrower of an amount which should have been received in a Collection Account into a Collection Account shall cure any Default arising from such receipt into another account; 


 

	 	(iii)	provide any instruction or authorisation to the relevant account bank reasonably required by the Agent for the Agent and Security Agent to ensure that the provisions of Clause 10.2(b) to Clause 10.2(d) are capable
of being complied with; 


  
 73 









	 	(iv)	promptly upon opening a Collection Account, enter into a Deposit Account Control Agreement duly executed by such Borrower and the account bank with which the relevant account is maintained; and 


 

	 	(v)	in the event that the Deposit Account Control Agreement takes the form of a notice and acknowledgement with the applicable account bank, use its reasonable endeavours to procure that such account bank delivers to the
Agent a written acknowledgement substantially in the form of the acknowledgement and agreement attached to the notice provided that such account shall not be a Collection Account for the purposes of the Finance Documents unless a Deposit Account
Control Agreement has been entered into or such acknowledgement received. 

  

	 	(b)	Subject to Clause 10.2(d), on each Business Day all funds standing to the credit of each Collection Account of the English Borrowers shall be transferred by the Security Agent into a bank account of the Agent in
the relevant currency nominated by the Agent for the purposes of this clause (each such bank account being an “English Payment Account”) and the Agent shall apply all funds standing to the credit of each English Payment Account:


  

	 	(i)	first, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders then owed by that English Borrower (in such order as is selected by that English Borrower on the giving of not less
than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent or if not so selected, on a pro-rata basis); 

  

	 	(ii)	second, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Defaulting Lenders then owed by that English Borrower (in such order as is selected by that English Borrower on the giving of not less than three Business
Days’ prior written notice to the Agent or if not so selected, on a pro-rata basis); 

  

	 	(iii)	third, in and towards payment pro rata of any outstanding amounts of interest, fees, costs and expenses and any other amounts due from and owing by that English Borrower but unpaid under the Finance Documents; and


  

	 	(iv)	fourth, the balance, if any, in the Permitted Discretion of the Agent, to either be (A) returned by the Agent to the relevant Collection Account of that English Borrower or (B) paid by the Agent to a bank
account (not being a Collection Account) of that English Borrower. 

  

	 	(c)	Subject to Clause 10.2(d), on each Business Day during a Cash Dominion Period all funds standing to the credit of each Collection Account of the Norwegian Borrowers shall be transferred by the Security Agent into a
bank account of the Agent in the relevant currency nominated by the Agent for the purposes of this clause (each such bank account being a “Norwegian Payment Account”) and the Agent shall apply all funds standing to the credit of
each Norwegian Payment Account: 


  
 74 









	 	(i)	first, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders then owed by that Norwegian Borrower (in such order as is selected by that Norwegian Borrower on the giving of not less
than three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent or if not so selected on a pro-rata basis); 

  

	 	(ii)	second, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Defaulting Lenders then owed by that Norwegian Borrower (in such order as is selected by that Norwegian Borrower on the giving of not less than three
Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent or if not so selected on a pro-rata basis); 

  

	 	(iii)	third, in and towards payment pro rata of any outstanding amounts of interest, fees, costs and expenses and any other amounts due from and owing by that Norwegian Borrower but unpaid under the Finance Documents; and


  

	 	(iv)	fourth, the balance, if any, to be paid by the Agent to a bank account (not being a Collection Account) of the Norwegian Borrower. 

  

	 	(d)	While an Event of Default is continuing all funds standing to the credit of each English Payment Account and each Norwegian Payment Account shall be applied by the Agent (and transferred to the Agent by the Security
Agent for such purpose): 

  

	 	(i)	first, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders then outstanding (on a pro-rata basis) and to provide cash cover of up to (A)
101 percent of the aggregate amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit denominated in Agreed Currencies and (B) 100 percent of the aggregate amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit denominated in US dollars (in each case to the
extent not already cash covered); 

  

	 	(ii)	second, to prepay the Loans (including any Swingline Loans) of Defaulting Lenders then outstanding (on a pro-rata basis); 


 

	 	(iii)	third, in and towards payment pro rata of any outstanding amounts of interest, fees, costs and expenses and any other amounts due and owing but unpaid under the Finance Documents; and 


 

	 	(iv)	fourth, the balance, if any, in the Permitted Discretion of the Agent, to either be (A) returned by the Agent to the relevant Collection Account or (B) paid to a bank account (not being a Collection Account)
of the relevant Borrower. 

 In connection with Clause 10.2(d)(i) and (ii), amounts standing to the credit of (A) any
English Payment Account shall first be used to prepay the Loans made to that English Borrower and provide cash cover in relation to Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of that English Borrower before being applied in relation to the Loans made
to any other Borrower and provide cash cover in relation to Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of any other Borrower; and 

  
 75 








 
(B) any Norwegian Payment Account shall first be used to prepay the Loans made to that Norwegian Borrower and provide cash cover in relation to Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of that
Norwegian Borrower before being applied in relation to the Loans made to any other Borrower and provide cash cover in relation to Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of any other Borrower. 

 

	 	(e)	In the event and to the extent that any applicable Revolving Facility Loans and/or Swingline Loans remain unpaid following the application set out in any of Clause 10.2(b)(i) and (ii), Clause 10.2(c)(i) and (ii) or
Clause 10.2(d)(i) and (ii) as a result of a mismatch between the currencies of the amounts in the relevant Collection Accounts and the currencies in which the applicable outstanding Revolving Facility Loans and/or Swingline Loans and/or Letters
of Credit are denominated, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested the Agent to convert any such excess funds to the currency or currencies of the applicable outstanding Revolving Facility Loans, Swingline Loans and/or Letters of Credit at
the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange and apply such converted amounts to such applicable outstanding Revolving Facility Loans, Swingline Loans and/or Letters of Credit.

 SECTION 5 

COSTS OF UTILISATION 
  

	14.	INTEREST 

  

	14.1	Calculation of interest 

  

	 	(a)	The rate of interest on each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of: 


 

	 	(i)	the Applicable Margin; and 

  

	 	(ii)	LIBOR (in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans); or 

  

	 	(iii)	NIBOR (in the case of NIBOR Rate Loans); or 

  

	 	(iv)	ABR (in the case of ABR Rate Loans); or 

  

	 	(v)	the Foreign Base Rate (in the case of Foreign Base Rate Loans). 

  

	 	(b)	The rate of interest on each Swingline Loan shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of: 

  

	 	(i)	the Applicable Margin; and 

  

	 	(ii)	ABR. 

  

	 	(c)	The rate of interest for each ABR Rate Loan, Swingline Loan and each Foreign Base Rate Loan shall be calculated and applied on a daily basis. 


 

	14.2	Payment of interest 

  

	 	(a)	In the case of LIBOR Rate Loans and NIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrower to which such a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on that Loan in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest
Period is longer than three Months, on the dates falling at three Monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period) and on the Termination Date. 

  

	 	(b)	In the case of ABR Rate Loans, Swingline Loans and Foreign Base Rate Loans, the Borrower to which such a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on that Loan in arrears on the first Business Day of each Financial
Quarter and on the Termination Date. 

  

	14.3	Default interest  

  

	 	(a)	If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date (other than any overdue amount which consists of all or part of a Loan), 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 percent per annum higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of
non-payment, constituted a LIBOR Rate Loan or NIBOR Rate Loan in the same currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably).



  
 81 









	 	(b)	If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan, 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 percent per
annum higher than the rate which would otherwise have applied to that Loan. 

  

	 	(c)	If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Loan: 


 

	 	(i)	the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and 


 

	 	(ii)	the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be two percent per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.


  

	 	(d)	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.


  

	 	(e)	Any interest accruing under this Clause 14.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

	15.1	Selection of Interest Periods 

  

	 	(a)	A Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on behalf of a Borrower) may select an Interest Period for a Revolving Facility Loan which is a LIBOR Rate Loan or a NIBOR Rate Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan.


  

	 	(b)	Subject to this Clause 15, a Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent) may select an Interest Period of one, two or three Months or of any other period agreed between the Obligors’ Agent, the Agent and all the Lenders
in relation to the relevant Loan. 

  

	 	(c)	An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Termination Date.

	 	(e)	An Interest Period for a Loan other than a LIBOR Rate Loan or NIBOR Rate Loan shall end on the Termination Date. 

  

	15.2	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). 

 

	16.	CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST 

  

	16.1	Unavailability of Screen Rate 

  

	 	(a)	Interpolated Screen Rate: If no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR or, if applicable, NIBOR for the Interest Period of a Loan, the applicable LIBOR or NIBOR shall be the Interpolated Screen Rate for a period
equal in length to the Interest Period of that Loan. 

  

	 	(b)	Alternative Source: If at any time the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Clause 16.1(a) or Clause 16.2 have arisen and
such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Clause 16.1(a) or Clause 16.2 have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR or NIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or NIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent shall endeavor to establish an alternate
rate of interest to LIBOR or NIBOR (as applicable) that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States of America at such time, and shall enter into an
amendment to this Agreement to reflect any such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable and agreed by the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Clause
42 (Amendments and waivers.), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice
of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment. Notwithstanding the above, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than
zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement 

  

	 	(c)	Cost of funds: In the event that Clause 16.1(b) applies but the Majority Lenders have objected to the comparable or successor rate (or until the Agent and the Borrowers (or the Obligors’ Agent on
their behalf) have approved such comparable or successor rate) Clause 16.3 shall apply to that Loan for that Interest Period. 


  
 83 









	16.2	Market disruption 

 If, 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 a LIBOR Rate Loan or NIBOR Rate Loan exceed 50 percent of that Loan) that the cost to it of funding its participation in that Loan from
whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of LIBOR in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, or NIBOR in the case of a NIBOR Rate Loan (or if the Majority Lenders cannot agree a substitute rate in accordance with Clause 16.1(b)) then
Clause 16.3 shall apply to that Loan for the relevant Interest Period. 
  

	16.3	Cost of funds 

  

	 	(a)	If this Clause 16.3 applies, the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of the relevant Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of: 


 

	 	(i)	the Applicable Margin; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event within two Business Days of the first day of that Interest Period (or, if earlier, on the date falling two Business Days before 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 the relevant Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably
select. 

  

	 	(b)	If this Clause 16.3 applies and the Agent or the Obligors’ Agent so requires, the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing
a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. 

  

	 	(c)	Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to Clause 16.3(b) shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Obligors’ Agent, be binding on all Parties. 


 

	 	(d)	If this Clause 16.3 applies pursuant to Clause 16.2 and: 

  

	 	(i)	a Lender’s Funding Rate is less than LIBOR in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan or, in relation to any NIBOR Rate Loan, NIBOR; or 

  

	 	(ii)	a Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in Clause 16.3(a)(ii), 

 the
cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of Clause 16.3(a), to be LIBOR or, in relation to a Loan in Norwegian Kroner, NIBOR. 

 

	16.4	Notification to Obligors’ Agent 

 If Clause 16.3 applies the Agent shall, as soon as
is practicable, notify the Obligors’ Agent. 

  
 84 









	16.5	Break Costs 

  

	 	(a)	Each Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a LIBOR Rate Loan or NIBOR Rate Loan (in each case other than a
Separate Loan) or Unpaid Sum being paid by that Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum provided that no Break Costs shall be due in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Clause 10.2
(Restrictions on Receivables and Cash Dominion). 

  

	 	(b)	Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue. 


 

	17.	FEES

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

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

  

	 	(A)	is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 18.2; or 

  

	 	(B)	would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 18.2 but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Clause 18.2(d) applied; or 


 

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

  

	 	(c)	A Protected Party making, or intending to make a claim under Clause 18.3(a) 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

	18.5	Lender status confirmation

	 	(iii)	a Norwegian Treaty Lender. 

 If such a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with
this Clause 18.5 then that Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) 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 Obligors’ Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Lender executes on becoming a Lender shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Clause 18.5.

demand, indemnify each Secured Party against any cost, loss or liability that Secured Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

	18.7	VAT 

  

	 	(a)	All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT
which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to Clause 18.7(b), if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the
relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly
provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party). 

  

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

  

	 	(i)	(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to
the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this Clause 18.7(b)(i) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably
determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and 

  

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


 

	 	(c)	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such
cost or expense, including such part 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. 


 

	 	(d)	Any reference in this Clause 18.7 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 person who is treated as making a supply or, as appropriate, receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC as implemented by the relevant state; or any other similar provision
in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union). 


  
 94 









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


 

	18.8	FATCA information 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to Clause 18.8(c), each Party (including, for the purpose of this clause, any Substitute Affiliate Lender) shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party: 


 

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

  

	 	(A)	a FATCA Exempt Party; or 

  

	 	(B)	not a FATCA Exempt Party; 

  

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

  

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

  

	 	(b)	If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to Clause 18.8(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. 

  

	 	(c)	Clause 18.8(a) shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and Clause 18.8(a)(ii) shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:


  

	 	(i)	any law or regulation; 

  

	 	(ii)	any fiduciary duty; or 

  

	 	(iii)	any duty of confidentiality. 

  

	 	(d)	If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with Clause 18.8(a)(i) or 18.8(a)(ii) (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, where Clause 18.8(c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested
confirmation, forms, documentation or other information. 


  
 95 









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


  

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

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

 supply to the
Agent: 
  

	 	(A)	a withholding certificate on applicable US Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, Form W-9 or any other relevant form; or 


 

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


 

	 	(f)	The Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to Clause 18.8(e) to the relevant Borrower. 


 

	 	(g)	If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the Agent by a Lender pursuant to Clause 18.8(e) is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Lender shall
promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Agent unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Agent). The
Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the relevant Borrower. 

  

	 	(h)	The Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to Clause 18.8(e) or Clause 18.8(g) without further verification. The Agent
shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with Clause 18.8(e), Clause 18.8(f) or Clause 18.8(g).

 SECTION 7 

GUARANTEE 
  

	23.	GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY  

  

	23.1	Guarantee and indemnity  

 Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly
and severally: 
  

	 	(a)	guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Obligor of all that Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents; 


 

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

  

	 	(c)	agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on
demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of an Obligor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would
have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 23 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee. 


 

	23.2	Continuing Guarantee 

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

	23.3	Reinstatement 

 If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the
obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation,
administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause 23 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred. 

 

	23.4	Waiver of defences 

 The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 23 will not be
affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 23, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 23 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including: 

 

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


  
 104 









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


 

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


  

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


 

	 	(e)	any amendment, novation, supplement, extension restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security including any change in the purpose
of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security; 

  

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


 

	 	(g)	any insolvency or similar proceedings. 

  

	23.5	Guarantor intent 

 Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 23.4, each Guarantor
expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under
any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing
existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees,
costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing. 
  

	23.6	Immediate recourse 

 Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any
Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 23. This waiver applies irrespective of any law
or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary. 

  
 105 









	23.7	Appropriations 

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

	 	(a)	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such
manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and 

  

	 	(b)	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 23. 


 

	23.8	Deferral of Guarantors’ rights 

 Until all amounts which may be or become payable by
the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under
the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 23: 
  

	 	(a)	to be indemnified by an Obligor; 

  

	 	(b)	to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents; 

  

	 	(c)	to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in
connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party; 

  

	 	(d)	to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 23.1;


  

	 	(e)	to exercise any right of set-off against any Obligor; and/or 

  

	 	(f)	to claim or prove as a creditor of any Obligor in competition with any Finance Party. 

 If a
Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the
Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 36
(Payment mechanics). 

  
 106 









	23.9	Release of Guarantors’ right of contribution 

 If any Guarantor (a “Retiring
Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents for the purpose of any sale or other disposal of that Retiring Guarantor then on the date such Retiring Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor: 

 

	 	(a)	that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the
performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and 

  

	 	(b)	each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of
any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.


  

	23.10	Additional security 

 This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced
by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party. 
  

	23.11	Norwegian Guarantee Limitations 

  

	 	(a)	The obligations of a Guarantor incorporated in Norway (each a “Norwegian Guarantor”) under this guarantee will be limited by such mandatory provisions of law applicable to that Norwegian Guarantor
limiting the legal capacity or ability of the Norwegian Guarantor to grant or honour a guarantee as provided for under this Clause 23 including, but not limited to, the provisions of Sections 8-7 to 8-10 of the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act of 13 June 1997 No. 44 (as from time to time amended). Consequently, the obligations of each Norwegian Guarantor under this Clause 23 shall
only apply to the extent not so limited, it being understood, however, by each Norwegian Guarantor that if a limitation is no longer applicable as a mandatory provision under Norwegian law, such limitations will no longer apply to the obligations of
such Norwegian Obligor, and each Norwegian Obligor shall in such circumstances take any such actions and execute such additional documents as the Agent may reasonably request to effectuate that such limitation is no longer applicable.


  

	 	(b)	The limitations set out in Clause 23.11(a) shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Transaction Security provided by any Norwegian Guarantor under the Finance Documents and to any guarantee, undertaking, obligation,
indemnity and payment, including but not limited to distributions, cash-sweeps, credits, loans and set-offs (including under Clause 37 (Set-off)), pursuant to or
permitted by the Finance Documents in relation to a Norwegian Guarantor. 

  

	 	(c)	To the extent permitted by applicable law, if a payment under this guarantee or the honouring of any Transaction Security by a Norwegian Guarantor has been made in contravention of the limitations contained in this
Clause 23.11, the Finance Parties shall not be liable for any damages in relation thereto, and the maximum amount repayable by the Finance Parties as a consequence of such contravention shall be the amount received from that Norwegian
Guarantor.

 SECTION 9 

CHANGES TO PARTIES 
  

	29.	CHANGES TO THE LENDERS 

  

	29.1	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders 

 Subject to this Clause 29 and to Clause 30
(Restriction on Debt Purchase Transactions), a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may: 
  

	 	(a)	assign any of its rights; or 

  

	 	(b)	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 (but not a natural person) provided such
transferee is licensed to carry out lending activity in each relevant jurisdiction (to the extent such license is required) and legally able to lend to the Borrowers (the “New Lender”). 

 

	29.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer 

  

	 	(a)	An Existing Lender may not make an assignment or transfer in accordance with Clause 29.1 without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrowers, Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank
and Agent provided that the prior written consent of the Borrowers shall not be required in the event that the assignment or transfer is: 

  

	 	(i)	to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender which is not a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; 

  

	 	(ii)	to a fund which is a Related Fund of that Existing Lender which is not a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender; or 


 

	 	(iii)	made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing; 

 provided that the New Lender is not a Non-Acceptable L/C Lender, each Borrower is deemed to have given their consent to such assignment or transfer if that Borrower fails to provide its express written refusal within ten Business Days following receipt
of a written request with respect to such to such assignment or transfer from the Agent or the applicable Existing Lender. 
  

	 	(b)	Other than in respect of a transfer to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender and unless otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and the Agent, an assignment or transfer of part of a Lender’s participation must be in
a minimum amount of USD 5,000,000 or, if less, all of its Revolving Facility Commitments and provided that that the amount of that Lender’s remaining participation (when aggregated with its Affiliates’ participation) in respect of
Revolving Facility Commitments is in a minimum amount of USD 1,000,000 or nil. 


  
 141 









	 	(c)	An assignment will only be effective on: 

  

	 	(i)	receipt by the Agent (whether in the Assignment Agreement or otherwise) 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 and the other Secured Parties as it would have been under if it had been an Original Lender; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the 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. 

  

	 	(d)	A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 29.5 is complied with. 

  

	 	(e)	If: 

  

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

  

	 	(ii)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause
19 (Increased costs), 

 then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to
receive payment under that Clause 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. 

 

	 	(f)	Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, 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 this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to
the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender. 

  

	29.3	Assignment or transfer fee 

 Unless the Agent otherwise agrees and excluding an
assignment or transfer (i) to an Affiliate of an Existing Lender or (ii) made in connection with primary syndication of the Facility, the New Lender or (if agreed) the transferring Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or
transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of USD 3,500. 

  
 142 









	29.4	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders 

  

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


 

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


 

	 	(ii)	the financial condition of any Obligor; 

  

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


 

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


and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded. 
  

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

  

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


 

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

  

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

  

	 	(i)	accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 29;
or 

  

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


  

	29.5	Procedure for transfer 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 a transfer is effected in accordance with Clause 29.5(c) when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender
and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to Clause 29.5(b), as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate. 


  
 143 









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

  

	 	(c)	Subject to Clause 29.9, on the Transfer Date: 

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

	29.6	Procedure for assignment 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 29.2 an assignment may be effected in accordance with Clause 29.6(c) when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing
Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to Clause 29.6(b), as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement. 


  
 144 









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

  

	 	(c)	Subject to Clause 29.9, on the Transfer Date: 

  

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


  

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

  

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


 

	 	(d)	Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 29.6 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or unless in accordance with Clause
29.5, to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 29.2. 


 

	29.7	Copy of Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation to Obligors’ Agent 


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

	29.8	Security over Lenders’ rights 

 In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders
under this Clause 29, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any
Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including: 
  

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

  

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



  
 145 








 except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

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


  

	29.9	Pro rata interest settlement 

  

	 	(a)	If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 29.5
or any assignment pursuant to Clause 29.6 the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period): 


 

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

  

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


 

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

  

	 	(B)	the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 29.9, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.


  

	 	(b)	In this Clause 29.9 references to “Interest Period” shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees. 


 

	 	(c)	An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 29.9 but which does not have a Revolving Facility Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining
whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents. 


  
 146 









	29.10	Participant register 

 In the event that any Lender enters into a sub-participation in relation to its participation in the Loans it shall maintain a “participant register” which the relevant Lender shall have no obligation to disclose except to the extent necessary to
establish that an obligation is in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any such sub-participation shall not affect the rights or obligations of the relevant Lender which shall remain the
lender of record for the relevant participation in the Loans nor shall it entitle any such sub-participant to any rights under the Finance Documents or oblige any Obligor to pay any amount to such Lender or sub-participant which it would not have been obliged to pay in the absence of such sub-participation. 

 

	30.	RESTRICTION ON DEBT PURCHASE TRANSACTIONS

	 	(A)	the Majority Lenders or Super Majority Lenders; or 

  

	 	(B)	whether: 

  

	 	(1)	any given percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of the Total Commitments; or 

  

	 	(2)	the agreement of any specified group of Lenders, 

 has been obtained to approve any request for
a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the Finance Documents such Revolving Facility Commitment shall be deemed to be zero and such member of the Group or the person with whom it has entered into such
sub-participation, other agreement or arrangement shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of Clause 30.2(a)(ii)(A) and Clause 30.2(a)(ii)(B) (unless in the case of a person not being a member of
the Group, it is a Lender by virtue otherwise than by beneficially owning the relevant Revolving Facility Commitment). 

  
 147 









	 	(b)	Each Lender shall, unless such Debt Purchase Transaction is an assignment or transfer, promptly notify the Agent in writing if it knowingly enters into a Debt Purchase Transaction with a member of the Group (a

agrees, be entitled to receive the agenda or any minutes of the same; and 

  

	 	(ii)	in its capacity as Lender, unless the Agent otherwise agrees, it shall not be entitled to receive any report or other document prepared at the behest of, or on the instructions of, the Agent or one or more of the
Lenders. 

  

	30.3	Member of the Group’s notification to other Lenders of Debt Purchase Transactions

giving notice to the Lenders and the Obligors’ Agent.

	 	(d)	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 32.12(c), the
Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is 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 32 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. 

  

	 	(e)	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 Parent 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

the benefit of Clause 20.3 (Indemnity to the Agent) and this Clause 32 (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.

months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Agent under the Finance Documents, either: 

  

	 	(i)	the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 18.8 (FATCA information) and 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; 

  

	 	(ii)	the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 18.8 (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

successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents. 

  

	 	(c)	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

retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).

other information), department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 38.3 (Addresses) and Clause 38.7(a)(ii) (Electronic communication) and the Agent shall be entitled to treat such person as the person entitled to

“Recovered Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then: 

  

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

  

	 	(ii)	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 36 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and 


 

	 	(iii)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the “Sharing 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 36.6 (Partial payments). 


 

	 	(b)	Clause 35.1(a) shall not apply to any amount received or recovered by an Issuing Bank in respect of any cash cover provided for the benefit of that Issuing Bank. 


  
 174

 The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been
paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the “Sharing Finance Parties”) in accordance with Clause 36.6 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of
that Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties. 
  

	35.3	Recovering Finance Party’s rights 

 On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 35.2

Obligor. 
  

	35.4	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: 
  

	 	(a)	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


  

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


 

	35.5	Exceptions

 SECTION 11 

ADMINISTRATION 
  

	36.	PAYMENT MECHANICS 

  

	36.1	Payments to the Agent 

  

	 	(a)	On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance
Document) 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. 


 

	 	(b)	Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in a principal financial centre in such Participating Member State or London, as
specified by the Agent) and with such bank as the Agent, in each case, specifies. 

  

	36.2	Distributions by the Agent 

 Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance
Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 36.3 and Clause 36.4 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 (or, in
relation to euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London, as specified by that Party). 
  

	36.3	Distributions to an Obligor 

 The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in
accordance with Clause 37 (Set-off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor
under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied. 
  

	36.4	Clawback and pre-funding 

  

	 	(a)	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. 

  

	 	(b)	Unless Clause 36.4(c) 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.



  
 176 









	 	(c)	If the Agent is willing to make available amounts for the account of a 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 funds from a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to a Borrower: 

  

	 	(i)	the Borrower to whom that sum was made available shall promptly following demand refund it to the Agent; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if that Lender fails to do so, the Borrower to whom that sum was made available, shall on demand (or in the case of the Borrower promptly following
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. 


 

	36.5	Impaired Agent 

  

	 	(a)	If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent in accordance with Clause 36.1 may instead either:


  

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

  

	 	(ii)	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 within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the definition of “Acceptable Bank” and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor 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. 
  

	 	(b)	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. 


 

	 	(c)	A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 36.5 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. 


  
 177 









	 	(d)	Promptly upon the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 32.13(Replacement of the Agent), each Paying Party shall (other than to the extent that that Party has given an instruction pursuant to
Clause 36.5(e)) 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 for distribution to the relevant Recipient Party or Recipient Parties
in accordance with Clause 36.2. 

  

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

  

	 	(i)	that it has not given an instruction pursuant to Clause 36.5(d); and 

  

	 	(ii)	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. 
  

	36.6	Partial payments 

  

	 	(a)	If the Agent receives a payment for application against amounts due in respect of any Finance Documents that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under those Finance Documents,
the Agent shall (subject to Clause 36.6(d)) apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under the Finance Documents in the following order: 

  

	 	(i)	first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid amount owing to the Agent, the Issuing Bank (other than any amount under Clause 7.2 (Claims under a Letter of Credit) or, to the extent relating to the
reimbursement of a claim (as defined in Clause 7 (Letters of Credit)), Clause 7.3 (Indemnities)) or the Security Agent under the Finance Documents; 

  


	 	(ii)	second, in or towards payment of any outstanding amounts under outstanding Swingline Loans; 

  

	 	(iii)	third, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fees or commission due but unpaid under the Finance Documents; 

  

	 	(iv)	fourth, in or towards payment pro rata of (A) any principal due but unpaid under the Finance Documents (B) any amount due but unpaid under Clause 7.2 (Claims under a Letter of Credit) and Clause 7.3
(Indemnities) and (C) any amount due under Priority Banking Services Obligations and Priority Swap Agreement Obligations; 

  

	 	(v)	fifth, in or towards payment pro rata of any Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations to the extent not paid pursuant to any of the paragraphs above; and 


  
 178 









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

  

	 	(b)	The Agent shall, if so directed by all of the Lenders, vary the order set out in Clause 36.6(a)(i) to 36.6(a)(vi). 

  

	 	(c)	Clauses 36.6(a) and 36.6(b) will override any appropriation made by an Obligor. 

  

	 	(d)	Amounts shall only be paid towards Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations following an Event of Default which is continuing. 


 

	36.7	Set-off by Obligors 

 All payments to be made by
an Obligor under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim. 

 

	36.8	Business Days 

  

	 	(a)	Any payment under the Finance Documents 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). 

  

	 	(b)	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. 


 

	36.9	Currency of account 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to Clauses 36.9(b) to (e), the Base Currency is the currency of account and payment for any sum due from an Obligor under any Finance Document.

	 	(d)	Each payment in respect of costs, expenses or Taxes shall be made in the currency in which the costs, expenses or Taxes are incurred. 


 

	 	(e)	Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than the Base Currency shall be paid in that other currency. 


  
 179 









	36.10	Change of currency 

  

	 	(a)	Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then: 


 

	 	(i)	any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country
designated by the Agent (after consultation with the Obligors’ Agent); and 

  

	 	(ii)	any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or
down by the Agent (acting reasonably). 

  

	 	(b)	If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Obligors’ Agent) specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with
any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the Relevant Market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

	 	(c)	the Agent may consult with the Finance Parties in relation to any changes mentioned in Clause 36.11(a) but shall not be obliged to do so if, in its opinion, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances;


  

	 	(d)	any such changes agreed upon by the Agent and the Obligors’ Agent shall (whether or not it is finally determined that a Disruption Event has occurred) be binding upon the Parties as an amendment to (or, as the case
may be, waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 42 (Amendments and waivers); 

  

	 	(e)	the Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever (including for negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever

	 	(f)	the Agent shall notify the Finance Parties of all changes agreed pursuant to Clause 36.11(d). 


  
 180

 A Finance Party may set off any matured
obligation due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or

set-off.
