| **Item 1.01** | **Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.** |

---

On June 25, 2025, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (the "Company") entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") for the financing of the sixth Edge-class ship which is scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2028. The Credit Agreement makes available to the Company, upon acceptance and delivery of the ship, a US dollar-denominated term loan guaranteed 100% by BpiFrance Assurance Export, the official export credit agency of France. The loan, once assigned to the Company upon delivery of the ship, will amortize semi-annually and will mature twelve years thereafter. Interest on the loan is expected to accrue at a floating rate of Term SOFR plus 0.85% per annum. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and prepayment events for, among other things, non-payment, breach of covenants, default on certain other indebtedness, certain large judgments and a change of control of the Company.

Certain of the lenders participating in the facility, and affiliates of those parties, provide banking, investment banking and other financial services to the Company from time to time for which they have received, and will in the future receive, customary fees.

The foregoing description of the provisions of the Credit Agreement is summary in nature and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Credit Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3** | **Assumption of liability and obligations** |

---

**3.1** **Substitution** 

It is hereby agreed that, as and with effect from the Novation Effective Time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the New Borrower shall be, and is hereby made, a party to the Principal Agreement in substitution for the Existing Borrower; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Principal Agreement shall be amended and restated as set out in clause 4.

**3.2** **Assumption of liability** 

The New Borrower hereby agrees with the Finance Parties that, as and with effect from the Novation Effective Time, it shall be indebted to the Finance Parties for the full amount of the Novated Loan Balance and, when drawn pursuant to clause 5.2 (and as adjusted pursuant to clause 5.3), the Additional Advances and the New Borrower further agrees that from the Novation Effective Time it shall duly and punctually perform all the liabilities and obligations to be performed or discharged in respect of the Novated Loan Balance and the Additional Advances under the Novated Credit Agreement and shall be bound by the terms of the Novated Credit Agreement from the Novation Effective Time as the "Borrower" thereunder.

**3.3** **Release** 

The Existing Borrower and the Finance Parties hereby agree that, as and with effect from the Novation Effective Time, they shall each mutually release and discharge each other from all liabilities, obligations, claims and demands whatsoever under or touching or concerning the Principal Agreement and in respect of anything done or omitted to be done under or in connection therewith except that if at the Novation Effective Time there are any outstanding liabilities of the Existing Borrower under the Principal Agreement which are the subject of an indemnity claim against the Seller pursuant to clause 7 (*Indemnities*) of the Receivable Purchase Agreement, to prevent the Finance Parties losing the ability to recover those claims against the Seller, such liabilities shall be preserved against the Existing Borrower until such claims are satisfied.

**3.4** **No liability** 

The Finance Parties hereby confirm, that except for the obligations in respect of the Novated Loan Balance which are, with effect from the Novation Effective Time, to be assumed by the New Borrower pursuant to clause 3.2, the New Borrower shall have no liability, and the Finance Parties shall have no recourse whatsoever to the New Borrower or any of its assets, in respect of any liabilities, obligations, claims and demands whatsoever under or touching or concerning the Principal Agreement or in respect of anything done or omitted to be done under or in connection therewith.

**3.5** **Novated Loan Balance** 

The Facility Agent agrees that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) following each Drawdown Date (and at any other time upon reasonable request), it will provide the New Borrower with an update in relation to the amount of the outstanding Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) not less than ten Banking Days prior to the anticipated Actual Delivery Date, it will consult with the New Borrower regarding the anticipated amount of the Novated Loan Balance as at the anticipated Novation Effective Time to enable the New Borrower to confirm and verify this amount (having regard to paragraphs (a) and (b) of the definition of Novated Loan Balance) and satisfy itself that it is an amount which reflects the expected drawdown of the Loan during the period prior to the Actual Delivery Date and that the same does not include any Unsecured Advances. The New Borrower shall promptly confirm its acceptance of the amount or, if applicable, raise any questions as to the calculation of this amount with the Facility Agent so that the amount can be approved prior to the Novation Effective Time; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) as part of the process of agreeing the Novated Loan Balance it will participate in the preparation of the delivery funds flow agreement referred to in clause 13.6 of the Buyer Consent Agreement.

**3.6** **Prepayment in respect of overpaid Purchase Price** 

If at the Novation Effective Time the Seller has become liable to make a refund of the Purchase Price pursuant to clause 2.5 (*Reduction in Purchase Price*) of the Receivable Purchase Agreement and has not made payment of that refund such that a partial prepayment of the Loan in an amount equal to that refund (the **Refund Prepayment Amount**) has not been made, the New Borrower shall prepay an amount of the Novated Loan Balance corresponding to that Refund Prepayment Amount on the Novation Effective Date, such prepayment to be without premium, penalty or breakage costs, and shall be by way of a regularly scheduled required prepayment (and not a requirement to make payment prior to the scheduled maturity thereof).

Where any such prepayment is required by the New Borrower pursuant to this clause 3.6:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the relevant amount of such prepayment may, if requested by the New Borrower, be deducted from the amount of the Additional Advances to be made available to the New Borrower on the Novation Effective Date and, where the New Borrower has requested that the prepayment required under this clause 3.6 be deducted from the Additional Advances, an actual payment shall only be required by the New Borrower if the prepayment amount exceeds the aggregate amount of the Additional Advances which would, but for the application of this clause 3.6, be advanced to the New Borrower; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the New Borrower shall be entitled to exercise its rights under clause 13.2(b) of the Buyer Consent Agreement.

It is agreed that the liability of the New Borrower in respect of the Refund Prepayment Amount under this clause shall not exceed the amounts referred to in clause 13.2(a) of the Buyer Consent Agreement.

**3.7** **Notification of set-off** 

Where clause 7.5 (*Set-off for unpaid amounts*) of the Receivable Purchase Agreement applies and an amount is to be deducted from the Payment Amount due to the Seller in relation to any amount due and owing by the Seller to the Existing Borrower or the Finance Parties under the Transaction Documents which remains unpaid at the Drawdown Date for an Advance (an **unpaid amount**) and that unpaid amount will consequently be retained from the relevant Advance under clause 2.2(d) of the Principal Agreement, the Facility Agent shall notify the New Borrower before the relevant Drawdown Date of the unpaid amount (together with reasonable details of the type, amount and the manner in which such amount, and all components thereof, have been calculated).

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **4** | **Amendment and restatement of Principal Agreement** |

---

The Principal Agreement shall, with effect on and from the Novation Effective Time, be (and it is hereby) amended and restated so as to read in accordance with the form of the Novated Credit Agreement set out in Schedule 3 and (as so amended and restated) will be binding upon each of the parties thereto in accordance with its terms as so amended and restated.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **5** | **Loan currency, Additional Advances and undrawn Commitments under the Principal Agreement** |

---

**5.1** **Currency conversion** 

On the Novation Effective Date the Additional Advances and, if applicable, each Accordion Advance to be drawndown by the New Borrower shall be made available in Dollars in accordance with the following provisions of this clause 5 and the Novated Credit Agreement and thereafter the Novated Loan Balance shall be converted from euro to Dollars by reference to the US Dollar Equivalent (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement) of the euro amount of the Novated Loan Balance.

**5.2** **Additional Advances** 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Novation Effective Date, the New Borrower shall be entitled to borrow further advances (the **Additional Advances**) in Dollars in respect of the following amounts:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) an amount of up to 80% of the incurred Non-Yard Costs of up to €146,000,000 (being €116,800,000); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) an amount equal to 100% of the BpiFAE Premium as calculated in accordance with Section 11.13.1(b) (*Terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy*) of the Novated Credit Agreement as at the Novation Effective Time, which amount shall be divided into two parts:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the amount payable by the New Borrower to BpiFAE in respect of such part of the BpiFAE Premium which remains payable to BpiFAE at the Novation Effective Date; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the balance, which shall, subject to the New Borrower's set-off rights referred to in clause 13.3 of the Buyer Consent Agreement, be payable by the New Borrower to the Seller in reimbursement of the amounts which have been deducted from the Payment Amounts in respect of the BpiFAE Premium pursuant to the Receivable Purchase Agreement,

provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Additional Advances (as adjusted, where relevant, under clause 5.3), when added to the Novated Loan Balance (or, if different and to the extent applicable, the aggregate of any amounts advanced in respect of the Facility (and not of the Additional Advances) in the manner contemplated by clause 5.4), shall not exceed the Maximum Loan Amount.

The Weighted Average Rate of Exchange shall be used to calculate the Dollar amount of the Additional Advance referred to in clause 5.2(a) and the Spot Rate of Exchange shall be used to calculate the Dollar amount of the Additional Advance referred to in clause 5.2(b).

**5.3** **Adjustment of Additional Advances** 

On the Novation Effective Date, the parties hereby agree that the aggregate amount of the Additional Advances (other than the amount referred to in clause 5.2(b)(i)) shall be adjusted, as applicable, by a Dollar amount (the **Adjustment Amount**) equal to the product of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the difference obtained by subtracting the Spot Rate of Exchange on or (if agreed by the Lenders) about the Actual Delivery Date from the Weighted Average Rate of Exchange; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Novated Loan Balance.

If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, the aggregate amount of the Additional Advances to be drawn in Dollars shall be increased by such Adjustment Amount.

Conversely, if the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the aggregate amount of the Additional Advances to be drawn in Dollars shall be decreased by such Adjustment Amount, provided however, if such Adjustment Amount exceeds the amount of the Additional Advances that would have been advanced in Dollars but for the operation of this clause (and subject to any agreement reached to the contrary in the delivery funds flow agreement referred to in clause 3.5(c)), no Dollar Additional Advances will be made and the New Borrower shall prepay (in Dollars) an amount of the Novated Loan Balance corresponding to that excess amount on the Novation Effective Date (a **Section 5.3 Prepayment**), such prepayment to be without premium, penalty or breakage costs, and shall be by way of a regularly scheduled required prepayment (and not a requirement to make payment prior to the scheduled maturity thereof). Any failure by the New Borrower to make the Section 5.3 Prepayment on the Novation Effective Date shall be capable of giving rise to an Event of Default under Section 8.1.1 (*Non-Payment of Obligations*) of the Novated Credit Agreement unless waived by, or alternative arrangements are agreed with, the Required Lenders (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement) acting on the instructions of BpiFAE.

**5.4** **Undrawn Commitments under the Principal Agreement** 

In the event that either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Existing Borrower has not drawn the full amount of the Total Commitments under the Principal Agreement at the Novation Effective Date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Total Commitments under the Principal Agreement have been cancelled or reduced before the Novation Effective Date and this is not as a result of a cancellation of the Building Contract by the Seller due to a Buyer Specified Event; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) it is not possible for the Facility to be made available to the Existing Borrower to the satisfaction of the Seller and the New Borrower,

the Finance Parties agree that if the Vessel continues to be constructed by the Seller in France and the BpiFAE Insurance Policy continues to be maintained (or, if applicable, reinstated or reissued) then, if required by the New Borrower, the Facility will continue to be available to the New Borrower on the Actual Delivery Date or (with the prior consent of BpiFAE, not to be unreasonably withheld (having regard to the provisions relating to BpiFAE below)) before the Actual Delivery Date. The amount of the Facility to be made available to the New Borrower in these circumstances shall be the amount that it would otherwise have been but for the occurrence of the events referred to in (a) to (c) above and such Facility shall include, without limitation, amounts to finance or refinance any reasonable completion expenses (the **Completion Expenses**) incurred by the New Borrower in completing the Vessel (of the type contemplated by Article XI 5 of the Building Contract and, where applicable, up to the amount of such Completion Expenses agreed pursuant to clause 10.2 of the Buyer Consent Agreement).

If this clause applies and the New Borrower exercises its rights to continue to have the Facility made available to it on the Actual Delivery Date or (with the prior consent of BpiFAE, not to be unreasonably withheld and (having regard to the provisions relating to BpiFAE below)) before the Actual Delivery Date this will either be through a novation, amendment and restatement of the Principal Agreement in the manner contemplated by clauses 3 and 4 or through the execution of a new credit agreement based substantially on the terms of the Novated Credit Agreement, but in each case updated to the extent necessary to reflect the additional amounts which would need to be made available thereunder in addition to the Additional Advances and, when applicable, in respect of the Completion Expenses, to allow the New Borrower to draw and/or assume by way of novation an amount in aggregate up to the Maximum Loan Amount and to reflect any agreed changes related to the New Borrower's hedging arrangements in respect of the Contract Price. In these circumstances the Finance Parties and the New Borrower shall, in good faith, agree such changes to this Agreement and/or the Novated Credit Agreement or agree and thereafter enter into a new credit agreement of the type referred to above, so as to place the New Borrower in all material respects in the same position it would have been had the Facility been fully available during the pre-delivery period in the manner set out in the Transaction Documents.

Where this clause applies, the amount of the Facility available to the New Borrower shall not exceed the Maximum Loan Amount and the amount of the indebtedness of the Existing Borrower under the Principal Agreement which the New Borrower may be required to assume by way of novation shall not exceed an amount equal to the Novated Loan Balance at the relevant time.

It is acknowledged that BpiFAE has confirmed that it will agree to continue, reinstate or reissue the BpiFAE cover in circumstances where this clause applies and the New Borrower is to draw the Facility on the Actual Delivery Date. Formal consent of BpiFAE will be required in relation to (i) any availability of the Facility to the New Borrower before the Actual Delivery Date and (ii) the arrangements and the terms of any new or novated facility agreement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The New Borrower and the Finance Parties agree to co-operate in good faith and use reasonable efforts to procure such consent.

In addition, where this clause applies, the New Borrower agrees that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the amounts payable to the Lenders in respect of arrangement fees in respect of the Facility (as set out in the relevant Fee Letter attached to any Fee Letter signed by the New Borrower) and the BpiFAE Premium payable to BpiFAE, shall continue to be payable in full and the New Borrower shall be required, where it does not currently have responsibility for the full payment of all those amounts, to assume responsibility for the payment of such amounts (it being acknowledged that the New Borrower shall not have any responsibility for payment of amounts of BpiFAE Premium already paid to BpiFAE pursuant to the Receivable Purchase Agreement where these amounts have not been (or will not be) refunded due to the cancellation of the Facility); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) it shall be liable to pay commitment fees on the basis set out in Section 3.4 (*Commitment Fees*) of the Novated Credit Agreement (but without double counting in relation to any amounts due under clause 11.1).

The Finance Parties agree that this clause 5.4 shall apply notwithstanding that the Initial Effective Date may not occur.

**5.5** **Borrowing procedure for Additional Advances** 

The New Borrower and the Finance Parties agree that the procedures set out in Article II of the Novated Credit Agreement shall apply in relation to the borrowing of the Additional Advances and, if applicable (and subject to any agreed amendments arising pursuant to clause 5.4), any amounts under clause 5.4.

**5.6** **Notification of New Borrower's hedging arrangements** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In connection with the calculation of the Weighted Average Rate of Exchange, the New Borrower agrees (having regard to paragraph (c) below) to provide the Facility Agent with the information referred to in this clause 5.6. The New Borrower and the Facility Agent agree to have an initial discussion in relation to the calculation by no later than the date falling 60 days before the anticipated Actual Delivery Date and thereafter, following the invoicing of the Non-Yard Costs to the Builder (on or about the date falling 30 days before the anticipated Actual Delivery Date), the New Borrower and the Facility Agent will further discuss the calculation of the Weighted Average Rate of Exchange during the period up to the Novation Effective Time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The New Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent (who shall promptly forward the same to the Lenders and BpiFAE), on a quarterly basis following the Signing Date, a schedule of the Weighted Average Rate of Exchange, accompanied by copies of confirmations or screen shots evidencing the entry into, termination or modification of any trades or fixings effected during such quarter (or, in respect of the first quarter, during the period falling prior to the end of that first quarter) under any agreements entered into by the New Borrower from time to time in spot or forward currency markets for the purchase of euros with Dollars in order to pay the Contract Price or fix the NYC Applicable Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, on or between the tenth and second Banking Days prior to the date on which the New Borrower intends to deliver the Loan Request (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement) to the Facility Agent, the New Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent (who shall promptly forward the same to the Lenders and BpiFAE) the New Borrower's preliminary written calculation in reasonable detail of the Weighted Average Rate of Exchange (to the extent not previously provided) and the New Borrower shall also provide copies or other evidence of such currency hedges as the Facility Agent may reasonably require.

**5.7** **Defaulting Lender** 

It is acknowledged and agreed that if any Lender is, or becomes, a Defaulting Lender (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement) with respect to the Additional Advances or, if applicable, any Accordion Advance:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the provisions of Section 10.3 (*Funding Reliance, etc.*) of the Novated Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, the indemnity in favour of the New Borrower set out therein) shall apply as if Section 10.3 (*Funding Reliance, etc.*) of the Novated Credit Agreement was effective at such time and irrespective of whether the Novation Effective Time occurs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the existence of that Defaulting Lender shall not in any way absolve the other Lenders of their obligation to make available the Additional Advances and, if applicable, any Accordion Advance when required to do so in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement and the Novated Credit Agreement.

| **6** | **Accordion Option** |

**6.1** **Accordion Option exercise** 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the New Borrower shall be entitled from time to time, by sending an Accordion Option Notice to the Facility Agent not later than 45 days prior to the Expected Delivery Date, to request an increase to the Maximum Loan Amount under the Novated Credit Agreement (the **Accordion Option**) by means of one or more further advances under this Agreement (each an **Accordion Advance**) in an aggregate maximum amount equivalent in Dollars of up to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) 80% of any Change Orders (in addition to any Change Orders comprised within the Change Order Amount financed pursuant to the Loan made available to the Existing Borrower under the Principal Agreement); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) 100% of the aggregate amount of BpiFAE Accordion Premium.

The Weighted Average Rate of Exchange shall be used to calculate the Dollar amount of each Accordion Advance referred to in clause 6.1(a) and the Spot Rate of Exchange shall be used to calculate the Dollar amount of each Accordion Advance referred to in clause 6.1(b).

The BpiFAE Accordion Premium shall be paid directly to BpiFAE in the manner described in Section 2.3(f) (*Borrowing Procedure*) of the Novated Credit Agreement.

**6.2** **Accordion exercise process and effectiveness** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Upon receipt of each Accordion Option Notice the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, and each Lender shall advise the Facility Agent in writing not later than 5 days after the date of receipt of the relevant Accordion Option Notice if such Lender agrees to participate in the relevant Accordion Advance and any Lender that does not so advise the Facility Agent within the above period shall be deemed to have declined to participate in that Accordion Advance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the New Borrower of each Lender who is willing to participate in the relevant Accordion Advance, and the New Borrower shall be entitled, in its absolute discretion, to allocate the amount of that Accordion Advance by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) electing one or more of the Lenders willing to participate by increasing its commitment; and/or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) adding one or more banks and financial institutions acceptable to BpiFAE and the Facility Agent (in the case of the Facility Agent, acting reasonably) (each a **New Lender**) to participate in the relevant Accordion Advance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Prior to the date upon which the commitments under the relevant Accordion Advance become effective (as determined pursuant to paragraph (d) below), the New Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Facility Agent, each of the following items in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) an Accordion Agreement with respect to that Accordion Advance in the form provided in Schedule 6, setting forth the commercial terms upon which the relevant Accordion Advance shall be made available (including, without limitation, the amount, the interest rate (fixed or floating), the margin, commitment and fees), and which Accordion Agreement shall also specify:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) each Lender (if any) who is increasing its commitment, together with the amount of such increase; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) each New Lender that will accede to this Agreement as an Accordion Lender, together with the amount of its commitment under that Accordion Advance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) a written approval of BpiFAE (addressed to the Facility Agent) in respect of any New Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) written confirmation from BpiFAE to the Facility Agent that the BpiFAE Insurance Policy shall be amended prior to the Novation Effective Date (as required under Section 5.1.3 of the Novated Credit Agreement);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Facility Agent in respect of any New Lender participating in the relevant Accordion Advance in order for the Facility Agent to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Accordion Advance arrangements and the accession of the New Lender; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) if applicable, an Accordion Lender Accession Deed in the form and substance provided in Schedule 5 for each New Lender participating in the relevant Accordion Advance,

and in addition to the above requirements, it shall also be a requirement that the Facility Agent shall not have received any notice seeking the cancellation, suspension or termination of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy or the suspension of the drawing of the relevant Accordion Advance or any of the other Accordion Advances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the New Borrower once the requirements of paragraph (c) above have been satisfied and, upon such confirmation, the commitments with respect to the relevant Accordion Advance shall become effective. The date upon which the commitments with respect to the relevant Accordion Advance become effective must occur by no later than the date falling 10 Business Days prior to the Expected Delivery Date.

**6.3** **Borrowing procedure for any Accordion Advance** 

The New Borrower and the Accordion Lenders agree that the procedures set out in Article II of the Novated Credit Agreement shall apply in relation to the borrowing of an Accordion Advance. Only the Accordion Lenders in respect of a relevant Accordion Advance shall (up to their respective commitments in that Accordion Advance) be required to make available such Accordion Advance and any Lender who is not an Accordion Lender for the purposes of that Accordion Advance shall not have any responsibility with respect, or obligation to contribute, to such amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Section 7.1.2 (*Approvals and other consents*);

**10.2** **Notification of increased costs, etc.** 

Each Lender shall (through the Facility Agent) notify the New Borrower at least three months before the anticipated Novation Effective Date if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) it intends to claim for any increased cost under Sections 4.3 (*Increased Loan Costs, etc.*) or 4.5 (*Increased capital costs*) or for any Covered Taxes (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement) under Section 4.6 (*Taxes*) or reserve costs under Section 4.7 (*Reserve costs*) of the Novated Credit Agreement for the period falling after the Novation Effective Date; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any of the circumstances referred to in Sections 4.1 (*Floating Rate lending unlawful*) of the Novated Credit Agreement or (if interest is to accrue under the Novated Credit Agreement by reference to the Reference Rate (and not the Compounded Reference Rate)) clause 6 of Exhibit F (*Floating Rate Provisions*) to the Novated Credit Agreement apply to it,

it being acknowledged that the New Borrower shall have no liability in respect of any such increased costs or amounts incurred or arising in respect of the period prior to the Novation Effective Time. Such notice shall include the relevant details referred to in those Sections.

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **11** | **Commitment and cancellation by the New Borrower** |

---

**11.1** **Commitment Fees** 

The New Borrower agrees to pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee on its daily unused portion of the Maximum Loan Amount on the basis of and at the times set out in Section 3.4 (*Commitment Fees*) of the Novated Credit Agreement. In the event that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders have not confirmed to the New Borrower within five Banking Days of receiving notice from a Lender that it has become a Defaulting Lender (which notice the Defaulting Lender shall give promptly upon becoming a Defaulting Lender) that they will honour the commitment of any Defaulting Lender, no commitment fee shall be payable to the Facility Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender on any unused portion of the Maximum Loan Amount of that Defaulting Lender for any day on which that Lender was a Defaulting Lender. If the other Lenders (or any of them) have confirmed within such five Banking Day period that they will honour all or part of a Defaulting Lender's commitment, the commitment fee shall continue to be payable in respect of the relevant portion of the Defaulting Lender's commitment so honoured.

**11.2** **Cancellation** 

The New Borrower may, by written notice to the Facility Agent at any time prior to the date falling not less than ten days prior to the anticipated Actual Delivery Date (and which shall also be a minimum period of not less than 10 Banking Days prior to the proposed date of cancellation set out in the New Borrower's notice, the **Notified Cancellation Date**), without premium or penalty (except as may be required by clause 11.5), terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitment (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement). Any such termination or reduction of the Commitment shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders (including any Accordion Lender) pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments. Where the Commitment is cancelled in full or in part the New Borrower shall pay on the date of such cancellation all amounts, including any fees and commissions which have accrued but remain unpaid at such date and any breakage costs payable pursuant to clause 11.5, which are due and owing by the New Borrower to the Finance Parties at such date pursuant to this Agreement or any Fee Letter or any mandate letter entered into in connection with the Transaction Documents to which the New Borrower is a party to the extent that such amounts are the subject of invoices from the Facility Agent to the New Borrower received by the New Borrower not less than two Banking Days prior to the date of such cancellation (the **Invoiced Amounts**). It is acknowledged and agreed that where the Commitment is cancelled in full the effectiveness of any such proposed cancellation shall be conditional on the payment of the Invoiced Amounts (but on the basis that commitment fees under clause 11.1 shall cease on the Notified Cancellation Date). The Facility Agent (in relation to any break costs of the type referred to in the definition of Fixed Rate Break Costs, together with any Floating Rate Break Costs payable pursuant to clause 4.2 and/or Schedule 5 of the Principal Agreement) shall in such circumstances use reasonable endeavours to provide the New Borrower with both an indicative calculation of any such potential breakage costs arising from the proposed cancellation as soon as practicable following receipt of the cancellation notice and an invoice in respect of any actual breakage amounts as soon as practicable prior to the Notified Cancellation Date. If no invoices have been issued for any such amounts (the **Non-Invoiced Amounts**), such Non-Invoiced Amounts shall be payable by the New Borrower following the Notified Cancellation Date upon the second Banking Day following receipt of the relevant invoices. Where the Commitment is cancelled in part, the allocation of such cancellation between the Novated Loan Balance and the Additional Advances shall be determined at the relevant time of cancellation at the New Borrower's election made in its discretion after consultation with the other parties concerned including BpiFAE (but on the basis that any allocation of any such partial cancellation cannot cause the Novated Loan Balance to be reduced to zero and will be subject to BpiFAE confirming it has no objection to such allocation). In addition, where the Commitment is cancelled in part, any amounts required to be paid by the New Borrower under this clause in respect of such cancellation which remain outstanding at the Novation Effective Time shall be treated as a liability of the New Borrower under the Novated Credit Agreement.

**11.3** **Prepayment of Loan under the Principal Agreement** 

Where a cancellation notice in respect of the full amount of the Commitment is given by the New Borrower in accordance with 11.2:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the provisions of clause 3 shall not apply and accordingly the Novation Effective Time shall not be capable of occurring; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Existing Borrower and the Finance Parties hereby acknowledge that the Loan will be prepaid in full on the Actual Delivery Date in accordance with clause 4.3(e) of the Principal Agreement but that the Principal Agreement shall otherwise continue in force in accordance with its terms and the Facility will continue to be available to the Existing Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Principal Agreement.

**11.4** **BpiFAE Premium** 

It is acknowledged by the parties that if the New Borrower voluntarily cancels all or any of the Commitment under clause 11.2, the New Borrower shall not be obliged to pay (or reimburse the Existing Borrower or the Seller for) all or any part of the BpiFAE Premium.

**11.5** **Breakage costs (general)** 

If, having regard to the election referred to in clause 8 and Section 3.3.2 (*Election of Floating Rate or Fixed Rate*) of the Novated Credit Agreement, the Fixed Rate shall apply to the Loan and, after such election, the New Borrower subsequently:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) voluntarily cancels all or any of the Commitment under clause 11.2;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) voluntarily cancels all or any of the Commitment after it has exercised its rights under clause 4.3 of the Buyer Consent Agreement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) subject to the proviso below, does not borrow the Maximum Loan Amount as a result of the Contract Price being reduced in accordance with Article III of the Building Contract (resulting in a corresponding cancellation of part of the Commitment),

the New Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent breakage costs in the amount notified to it following a calculation of such breakage costs based on the methodology referred to in Section 4.4.1c) (*Indemnity*) of the Novated Credit Agreement and on the basis that for this purpose references in such Section to prepayment and prepay shall be treated as references to cancellation and the basis for the calculation of any breakage costs shall be determined by reference to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the Commitment is cancelled in full, 80% of €1,090,000,000; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the Commitment is partially cancelled, the amount which is 80% of €1,090,000,000 minus the un-cancelled Commitment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) 24 assumed semi-annual repayment instalments of the Loan (as defined in the Novation Credit Agreement but excluding the aggregate amount of the Accordion Advances) starting from the Expected Delivery Date at the Signing Date.

Provided however that no breakage costs will be charged under clauses 11.5(a), 11.5(b) or 11.5(c) above if the Loan (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement but excluding the aggregate amount of the Accordion Advances) assumed by and/or advanced to the New Borrower on the Novation Effective Date or otherwise pursuant to any restated or new credit agreement entered into in accordance with clause 5.4 equals or exceeds the US Dollar Equivalent of €872,000,000 (being 80% of €1,090,000,000).

For the purpose of calculating the Dollar amount of the breakage costs under this clause, the notional amount of the Loan (excluding the aggregate amount of the Accordion Advances) shall be converted to a corresponding Dollar amount on the basis of the Spot Rate of Exchange on the date which is two Banking Days prior to the date of effective cancellation.

It is acknowledged and agreed for all purposes of this Agreement and the Novated Credit Agreement that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) this clause 11.5 shall not apply if, having regard to clause 8 and Section 3.3.2 (*Election of Floating Rate or Fixed Rate*) of the Novated Credit Agreement, the Floating Rate shall apply to the Loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) this clause 11.5 shall not apply with respect to any cancellation of all or part of each Accordion Advance (in respect of which clause 11.6 shall apply); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) if, having regard to clause 8 and Section 3.3.2 (*Election of Floating Rate or Fixed Rate*) of the Novated Credit Agreement, the Fixed Rate is to apply to the Loan, the New Borrower shall not be liable to pay (or indemnify any Indemnified Party under Section 11.4 (*Indemnification*) of the Novated Credit Agreement in respect of) any breakage costs related to the Fixed Rate in the event the Fixed Rate is not available as a result of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1.10 (*Interest Stabilisation*) of the Novated Credit Agreement not being satisfied for any reason other than due to the New Borrower's own breach of the terms of this Agreement.

**11.6** **Breakage costs (Accordion Advance)** 

If the Accordion Option is exercised and if, having regard to the terms agreed in the relevant Accordion Agreement, the Fixed Rate shall apply to an Accordion Advance and the New Borrower subsequently does not borrow the full agreed commitment in respect of that Accordion Advance, the New Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent breakage costs in the amount notified to it following a calculation of such breakage costs based on the methodology referred to in the paragraph immediately following Section 4.4.1c) (*Indemnity*) of the Novated Credit Agreement and on the basis that for this purpose references in such Section to prepayment and prepay shall be treated as references to cancellation and the basis for the calculation of any breakage costs shall be determined by reference to (a) the amount of the Commitments relating to that Accordion Advance so cancelled and (b) 24 assumed semi-annual repayment instalments of such Accordion Advance starting from the Expected Delivery Date as at the date of the relevant Accordion Agreement.

For the purpose of calculating the Dollar amount of the breakage costs under this clause, the notional amount of any relevant Accordion Advance shall be converted to a corresponding Dollar amount on the basis of the Spot Rate of Exchange on the date which is two Banking Days prior to the date of effective cancellation.

ARTICLE II

COMMITMENTS AND BORROWING PROCEDURES

SECTION 2.1. <u>Commitment</u>. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including <u>Article V</u>), each Lender severally agrees to make its portion of the relevant part of the Loan pursuant to its Commitment described in <u>Section 2.2</u>. No Lender's obligation to make its portion of the Loan shall be affected by any other Lender's failure to make its portion of the Loan. It is acknowledged and agreed that, if the Accordion Option is exercised, only the Accordion Lenders under a relevant Accordion Advance shall be obliged to make available the Commitments in respect of that Accordion Advance and no other Lender shall have any responsibility with respect, or obligation to contribute, to such amount.

SECTION 2.2. <u>Commitment of the Lenders; Termination and Reduction of Commitments</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Each Lender will make its portion of the Loan available to the Borrower in accordance with <u>Section 2.3</u> on the Actual Delivery Date. The commitment of each Lender described in this <u>Section 2.2</u> (herein referred to as its " <u>Commitment</u> ")
shall be the commitment of such Lender to make available to the Borrower its portion of the Loan hereunder (including, where applicable,
in the case of an Accordion Lender, the Accordion Advances in which it participates) expressed as the initial amount or (as the case may
be) amounts set forth opposite such Lender's name on its signature page attached hereto or, in the case of any Lender that
becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment pursuant to <u>Section 11.11.1</u>, the amount set forth as such Lender's Commitment
in the related Lender Assignment Agreement, in each case as such amount may be reduced from time to time pursuant clause 11.2 of the Novation
Agreement or reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to assignments by or to such Lender pursuant to <u>Section 11.11.1</u>.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender's Commitment shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the Commitment Termination Date
if the Purchased Vessel is not delivered prior to such date and (ii) the Actual Delivery Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) If any Lender shall default in its obligations under <u>Section 2.1</u>, the Facility Agent shall,
at the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to assist the Borrower in finding a bank or financial institution acceptable to
the Borrower to replace such Lender.

SECTION 2.3. <u>Borrowing Procedure</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Part of the Loan in an amount equal to the Novated Loan Balance shall be assumed by the Borrower
and be deemed to be advanced to, and borrowed by the Borrower, pursuant to the provisions of clause 3 of the Novation Agreement and thereafter
converted into Dollars pursuant to clause 5.1 of the Novation Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) In relation to the amount of the Loan comprised by the Additional Advances and, if the Accordion Option
has been exercised, each Accordion Advance, the Borrower shall deliver a Loan Request and the documents required to be delivered pursuant
to <u>Section 5.1.1(a)</u> to the Facility Agent on or before 3:00 p.m., London time, not less than two (2) Business Days
prior to the anticipated Actual Delivery Date. The Additional Advances and, if applicable, each Accordion Advance, shall be drawn in Dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) The Facility Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Loan Request in respect of the Additional
Advances and, if applicable, each Accordion Advance, by forwarding a copy thereof to each Lender, together with its attachments. On the
terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the portion of the Loan in respect of the Additional Advances and, if applicable
an Accordion Advance, shall be made by the relevant Lenders participating in each Additional Advance and as the case may be, that Accordion
Advance, on the Actual Delivery Date. On or before 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Actual Delivery Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i) the Lenders (excluding the Accordion Lenders) shall, without any set-off or counterclaim, deposit with
the Facility Agent same day funds in an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of the requested portion of the Additional Advances
(excluding the Accordion Advance) in Dollars; and

ii) if applicable, the Accordion Lenders in respect of each Accordion Advance shall, without any set-off or counterclaim, deposit with the Facility Agent same day funds in an amount equal to such Accordion Lender's Percentage of the requested portion of that Accordion Advance in Dollars.

Such deposits will be made to such account which the Facility Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the relevant Lenders. To the extent funds are so received from the Lenders (and having regard, where applicable, to Sections 2.3d), e), f) and g) below), the Facility Agent shall, without any set-off or counterclaim, make such funds available to the Borrower on the Actual Delivery Date by wire transfer of same day funds to the accounts the Borrower shall have specified in its Loan Request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) If the Borrower elects to finance that part of the BpiFAE Premium payable by the Borrower with an Additional
Advance under clause 5.2(b)(i) of the Novation Agreement, the Borrower shall indicate such election in the Loan Request. The amount
of the advance in Dollars (the " <u>US Dollar BpiFAE Advance Amount</u> ") that will fund the BpiFAE Premium shall be equal
to the Dollar amount that corresponds to the EUR amount of the BpiFAE Premium to be financed with such advance, which amount shall be
determined by the Facility Agent based on the Spot Rate of Exchange. The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
US Dollar BpiFAE Advance Amount on the date such Loan Request is delivered, and the Lenders shall deposit such US Dollar BpiFAE Advance
Amount with the Facility Agent in accordance with Section 2.3.c). The Facility Agent shall furnish a certificate to the Borrower
on the date such Loan Request is delivered setting forth such Spot Rate of Exchange, its derivation and the calculation of the US Dollar
BpiFAE Advance Amount. If the Borrower elects to so finance the BpiFAE Premium, the Borrower will be deemed to have directed the Facility
Agent to pay over directly to BpiFAE on behalf of the Borrower that portion of the EUR amount of the BpiFAE Premium to be financed with
the proceeds of the advance on the Actual Delivery Date and to retain for its own account deposits made by the Lenders in Dollars in an
amount equal to the portion of the US Dollar BpiFAE Advance Amount attributable to the BpiFAE Premium paid by the Facility Agent to BpiFAE
on behalf of the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) If the Borrower elects to finance that part of the BpiFAE Premium payable by the Borrower with an Additional
Advance under clause 5.2(b)(ii) of the Novation Agreement, the Borrower shall indicate such election in the Loan Request (and whether
it wishes to receive such amount in EUR or in Dollars). The amount of the advance in Dollars (the " <u>US Dollar BpiFAE Balance Amount</u> ")
that will fund the BpiFAE Premium shall be equal to the Dollar amount that corresponds to the EUR amount of the BpiFAE Premium to be financed
with such advance, which amount shall be determined by the Facility Agent based on the Spot Rate of Exchange. The Facility Agent shall
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the US Dollar BpiFAE Balance Amount on the date such Loan Request is delivered, and the Lenders
shall deposit such US Dollar BpiFAE Balance Amount with the Facility Agent in accordance with Section 2.3 c). The Facility Agent
shall furnish a certificate to the Borrower on the date such Loan Request is delivered setting forth such Spot Rate of Exchange, its derivation
and the calculation of the US Dollar BpiFAE Balance Amount. If the Borrower elects to so finance the BpiFAE Premium and receive the proceeds
in EUR, the Borrower will be deemed to have directed the Facility Agent to pay over to the Borrower (or, if applicable, the Builder) that
portion of the EUR amount of the BpiFAE Premium to be financed with the proceeds of the advance on the Actual Delivery Date and to retain
for its own account deposits made by the Lenders in Dollars in an amount equal to the US Dollar BpiFAE Balance Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) Where an Accordion Advance is available for borrowing, if any BpiFAE Accordion Premium payable by the
Borrower is to be financed by using part of an Accordion Advance this shall also be confirmed in the Accordion Agreement relating to that
Accordion Advance and this shall be indicated in the Loan Request. The amount of the advance in Dollars (the " <u>US Dollar BpiFAE Accordion Amount</u> ") that will fund the BpiFAE Accordion Premium shall be equal to the Dollar amount that corresponds to the EUR
amount of the BpiFAE Accordion Premium to be financed with such advance, which amount shall be determined by the Facility Agent based
on the Spot Rate of Exchange. The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Accordion Lenders of the US Dollar BpiFAE Accordion
Amount on the date such Loan Request is delivered, and the Accordion Lenders shall deposit such US Dollar BpiFAE Accordion Amount with
the Facility Agent in accordance with Section 2.3.c). The Facility Agent shall furnish a certificate to the Borrower on the date
such Loan Request is delivered setting forth such Spot Rate of Exchange, its derivation and the calculation of the US Dollar BpiFAE Accordion
Amount. If the BpiFAE Accordion Premium will be financed by the Accordion Advances, the Borrower will be deemed to have directed the Facility
Agent to pay over directly to BpiFAE on behalf of the Borrower that portion of the EUR amount of the BpiFAE Accordion Premium to be financed
with the proceeds of the advance on the Actual Delivery Date and to retain for its own account deposits made by the Accordion Lenders
in Dollars in an amount equal to the portion of the US Dollar BpiFAE Accordion Amount attributable to the BpiFAE Accordion Premium paid
by the Facility Agent to BpiFAE on behalf of the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g) In relation to any Additional Advance that is to be advanced to the Borrower in respect of the Non-Yard
Costs it is agreed that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i) an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent of eighty per cent (80%) of the Paid Non-Yard Costs shall
be advanced to the Borrower on the Actual Delivery Date in accordance with the provisions of <u>Section 2.3 c)</u>, which amount
shall be determined by the Facility Agent based on the amounts contained in the Delivery Non-Yard Costs Certificate; and

ii) an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent of eighty per cent (80%) of the Unpaid Non-Yard Costs, which amount shall be determined by the Facility Agent based on the amounts contained in the Delivery Non-Yard Costs Certificate (the "<u>Escrow Amount</u>"), shall be remitted by the Facility Agent (and the Borrower hereby instructs the Facility Agent to make such remittance) to the Escrow Account and such amount shall be regulated in accordance with the following provisions of this <u>Section 2.3 g)</u> and the Escrow Account Security,

subject to the aggregate of the amounts referred to in i) and ii) above not exceeding the Maximum Non-Yard Costs Amount.

Where an Escrow Amount payment is made to the Escrow Account pursuant to ii) above, the Borrower shall be entitled at any time prior to the NYC Cut Off Date to provide the Facility Agent with the Final Non-Yard Cost Certificate setting out the final amount of the Paid Non-Yard Costs. Where the Final Non-Yard Costs Certificate is so received by the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent shall determine promptly the US Dollar Equivalent of the EUR amount of the Paid Non-Yard Costs and within one Business Day thereafter shall authorize the release of the Escrow Amount (or, if less, an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent of eighty per cent of the final amount of the Paid Non-Yard Costs (as determined above) less the amount previously advanced to the Borrower under i) above) to the Borrower. Any interest accruing on the Escrow Account shall be released to the Borrower at the same time as the release of the Escrow Amount (or, if applicable, part thereof) to the Borrower pursuant to this provision.

If any amount of the Escrow Amount remains on the Escrow Account on the day falling immediately after the NYC Cut Off Date (having regard to any applicable permitted release of moneys from the Escrow Account to the Borrower referred to above) then on the Business Day thereafter the Facility Agent shall be entitled to request (and, promptly upon the written instruction of the Borrower, shall request) the withdrawal of that amount from the Escrow Account and shall apply the amount so received, on behalf of the Borrower, in or towards prepayment of the Loan.

The basis on which the Escrow Account Security is held by the Security Trustee for the benefit of the Lenders is regulated under the Escrow Agency and Trust Deed.

and

ii) shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the repayment of the installments of the Loan pursuant to <u>Section 8.2</u> or <u>8.3</u> or the mandatory prepayment of the Loan pursuant to <u>Section 9.2</u>, repay the Loan.

to the Borrower and the Facility Agent of such event, including reasonable details of the relevant circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) If an affected Lender delivers an Illegality Notice, the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the affected

to and consented in writing by BpiFAE provided that (x) in the case of a single assignment, any such assignment shall be either an
assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or, in the case of more than one assignment,
an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that
collectively cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement and (y) no Lender shall be obliged
to make any such assignment as a result of an election by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) unless and until such

Date in accordance with clause 8 of the Novation Agreement, the Borrower shall elect whether to pay interest on the Loan (and for this
purpose excluding any Accordion Advance) at the Floating Rate or the Fixed Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) The election made under <u>Section 3.3.2.a)</u> and clause 8
of the Novation Agreement may only be made on one occasion and shall be irrevocable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) If the Borrower fails to make an election under <u>Section 3.3.2.a)</u> on the Signing Date, it shall
be deemed to have elected to pay interest on the Loan at the Floating Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) Where an Accordion Advance is available for borrowing by the Borrower, the rate of interest on that Accordion
Advance shall be determined in accordance with the arrangements set out in clause 6 of the Novation Agreement and shall be agreed and
confirmed in the relevant Accordion Agreement.

SECTION 3.3.3. <u>Interest stabilisation.</u> Each Lender who is a party hereto on the Signing Date represents and warrants to the Borrower that it is in all respects eligible and authorised to enter into and, if pursuant to <u>Section 3.3.2</u> the Borrower elects for the Fixed Rate to apply to the Loan, that Lender shall, promptly after the Signing Date, enter into an Interest Stabilisation Agreement and by no later than the Initial Effective Date (as defined in the Receivable Purchase Agreement), and any Lender (including, without limitation, any Accordion Lender) not a party hereto on the Signing Date represents and warrants to the Borrower on the date that such Lender becomes a party hereto that, unless the Loan is a Floating Rate Loan or the Lender only has responsibility for such part of the Loan as is a Floating Rate Loan (in which case there shall be no requirement to enter into any such Interest Stabilisation Agreement or to provide such representation), it has entered into an Interest Stabilisation Agreement on or prior to becoming a party hereto.

SECTION 3.3.4. <u>Post-Maturity Rates.</u> After the date any principal amount of the Loan is due and payable (whether on any Repayment Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary Obligation of the Borrower shall have become due and payable, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts for each day during the period of such default at a rate per annum certified by the Facility Agent to the Borrower (which certification shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) to be equal to the sum of the Floating Rate plus 1.5% per annum.

SECTION 3.3.5. <u>Payment Dates.</u> Interest accrued on the Loan shall be payable, without duplication, on the earliest of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) each Interest Payment Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) each Repayment Date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) the date of any prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on the Loan (but only on the
principal so prepaid); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) on that portion of the Loan the repayment of which is accelerated pursuant to <u>Section 8.2</u> or <u>Section 8.3</u>, immediately upon such acceleration.

SECTION 3.3.6. <u>Interest Rate Determination; Floating</u> <u>Rate</u>. If the Floating Rate applies, or is to apply, to the Loan (or any relevant part of the Loan) or (as contemplated by <u>Section 3.3.4</u>, any unpaid sum<u>)</u>, the Floating Rate for each Interest Period (or, in the case of <u>Section 3.3.4</u>, any relevant period) shall be determined in accordance with the provisions set out in Exhibit F.

SECTION 3.3.7. <u>Payments on demand.</u> Interest accrued on the Loan or other monetary Obligations arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date such amount is due and payable (whether upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.

SECTION 3.4. <u>Commitment Fees.</u> Subject to clause 11.1 of the Novation Agreement, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the "<u>Commitment Fee</u>") on its daily unused portion of the Maximum Loan Amount, for the period commencing on the Signing Date and continuing through the earliest to occur (the "<u>Commitment Fee Termination Date</u>") of (i) the Actual Delivery Date, (ii) the date upon which the Facility Agent has provided the Borrower with written notice that the Lenders will not advance the Loan because the Commitments have been terminated pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3, (iii) the Commitment Termination Date and (iv) the date the Commitments shall have been terminated in full pursuant to clause 11.2 of the Novation Agreement.

SECTION 3.4.1. <u>Payment.</u> The Commitment Fee shall be payable by the Borrower to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender six-monthly in arrears, with the first such payment (the "First Commitment Fee Payment") to be made on the day falling six months following the Signing Date and the final such payment to be made on the Commitment Fee Termination Date (each date on which a Commitment Fee payment is required to be made in accordance with this Section 3.4.1 referred to herein as a "<u>Commitment Fee Payment Date</u>"). The Commitment Fee shall be in the amount in EUR equal to the product of the Applicable Commitment Rate, multiplied by, for each day elapsed since the preceding Commitment Fee Payment Date (or, in the case of the First Commitment Fee Payment, the Signing Date) 75% of the daily unused portion of Maximum Loan Amount (as such amount may be adjusted from time to time, including pursuant to the exercise of the Accordion Option) divided by 360 days. It is acknowledged and agreed that only the Accordion Lenders with Commitments in respect of an Accordion Advance shall receive Commitment Fees in respect of that Accordion Advance.

SECTION 3.5. <u>Other Fees.</u> The Borrower agrees to pay to the Facility Agent (on its behalf and, if applicable, on behalf of the Lenders and the Accordion Lenders (as applicable)) and the Global Coordinator agreed-upon fees set forth in the Fee Letters on the dates and in the amounts set forth therein.

ARTICLE IV

CERTAIN FLOATING RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

SECTION 4.1. <u>Floating Rate Lending Unlawful.</u> If after the Signing Date the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over such Lender asserts that it is unlawful for such Lender to make, continue or maintain its portion of the Floating Rate Loan (where interest is payable at the Floating Rate), the obligation of such Lender to make, continue or maintain its portion of the Floating Rate Loan shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower, the Facility Agent and each other Lender, forthwith be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, <u>provided</u> that such Lender's obligation to make, continue and maintain its portion of the Floating Rate Loan hereunder shall be automatically converted into an obligation to make, continue and maintain its portion of the Floating Rate Loan bearing interest at a rate to be negotiated between such Lender and the Borrower that is the equivalent of the sum of the Reference Rate (or, if applicable at such time, the Compounded Reference Rate) for the relevant Interest Period plus the Floating Rate Margin.

SECTION 4.2. <u>[Intentionally Omitted]</u>.

SECTION 4.3. <u>Increased Loan Costs, etc.</u> If after the Signing Date a change in any applicable treaty, law, regulation or regulatory requirement or in the interpretation thereof or in its application to the Borrower, or if compliance by any Lender with any applicable direction, request, requirement or guideline (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or other authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority insofar as it may be changed or imposed after the date hereof, shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) subject any Lender to any taxes, levies, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings of any nature
with respect to its portion of the Loan or any part thereof imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (other than taxation on overall net income and, to the extent such taxes are described
in <u>Section 4.6</u>, withholding taxes); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) change the basis of taxation to any Lender (other than a change in taxation on the overall net income
of any Lender) of payments of principal or interest or any other payment due or to become due pursuant to this Agreement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve or capital adequacy requirements (other than the increased
capital costs described in <u>Section 4.5</u> and the reserve costs described in <u>Section 4.7</u>) or other banking or monetary
controls or requirements which affect the manner in which a Lender shall allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder or
require the making of any special deposits against or in respect of any assets or liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of,
or loans by, any Lender (<u>provided</u> that such Lender shall, unless prohibited by law, allocate its capital resources to its obligations
hereunder in a manner which is consistent with its present treatment of the allocation of its capital resources); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) impose on any Lender any other condition affecting its portion of the Loan or any part thereof,

and the result of any of the foregoing is either (i) to increase the cost to such Lender of making its portion of the Loan or maintaining its portion of the Loan or any part thereof, (ii) to reduce the amount of any payment received by such Lender or its effective return hereunder or on its capital or (iii) to cause such Lender to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, then and in any such case if such increase or reduction in the opinion of such Lender materially affects the interests of such Lender, (A) such Lender shall (through the Facility Agent) notify the Borrower of the occurrence of such event and use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with BpiFAE relating to the Fixed Rate) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the effects of such law, regulation or regulatory requirement or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and (B) the Borrower shall forthwith upon such demand pay to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender such amount as is necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction and ancillary expenses, including taxes, incurred as a result of such adjustment. Such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the event leading to such additional cost, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the amount of such additional cost, (iii) describe the manner in which such amount has been calculated, (iv) certify that the method used to calculate such amount is such Lender's standard method of calculating such amount, (v) certify that such request is consistent with its treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions, and (vi) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such change in circumstance is of general application to the commercial banking industry in such Lender's jurisdiction of organization or in the relevant jurisdiction in which such Lender does business. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; <u>provided</u> that in relation to increased costs or reductions arising after the Effective Date the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; <u>provided further</u> that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but not more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such cost or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor.

It is acknowledged that the Borrower shall have no liability to compensate any Lender under this Section for amounts of increased costs that accrue before the Effective Time on the Actual Delivery Date (with any such amounts arising before the Effective Time being the responsibility of the Original Borrower).

SECTION 4.4. <u>Funding Losses</u>

SECTION 4.4.1. <u>Indemnity.</u> In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (for the avoidance of doubt excluding loss of profit) by reason of the liquidation or re-employment (at not less than the market rate) of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender, to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of its portion of the Loan as a result of:

i) any repayment or prepayment or acceleration of the principal amount of such Lender's portion of
the Loan, other than any repayment made on the date scheduled for such repayment or (if the Floating Rate applies) any repayment or prepayment
or acceleration on a date other than the scheduled last day of an Interest Period or otherwise scheduled date for repayment or payment;
or

ii) the relevant portion of the Loan not being made in accordance with the Loan Request therefor due to the fault of the Borrower or as a result of any of the conditions precedent set forth in clause 7.1(c) of the Novation Agreement and Article V not being satisfied,

(a "<u>Funding Losses Event</u>") then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent), the Borrower shall, within three (3) days of its receipt thereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) if at that time interest is calculated by reference to the Reference Rate on such Lender's portion
of the Loan, pay directly to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender an amount equal to the amount by which:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) interest calculated by reference to the Reference Rate which such Lender would have received on its share
of the amount of the Loan subject to such Funding Losses Event for the period from the date of receipt of any part of its share in the
Loan to the last day of the applicable Interest Period,

exceeds:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the amount which such Lender would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the amount received
by it on deposit with a leading bank in the appropriate interbank market for a period starting on the Business Day following receipt and
ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) if at that time interest is calculated by reference to the Compounded Reference Rate on such Lender's
portion of the Loan, pay directly to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender any amount specified as "Break Costs"
(if any) in the Compounded Reference Rate Terms; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) if at that time interest is calculated at the Fixed Rate on such Lender's portion of the Loan, pay
to the Facility Agent the amount notified to it following the calculation referred to in the next paragraph.

Since the Lenders commit themselves irrevocably to the French Authorities in charge of monitoring the Fixed Rate mechanism, any prepayment (whether voluntary, involuntary or mandatory, including following the acceleration of the Loan) will be subject to the mandatory payment by the Borrower of the amount calculated in liaison with the French Authorities two (2) Business Days prior to the prepayment date by taking into account the differential (the "<u>Rate Differential</u>") between the Fixed Rate (but, for this purpose, not including the margin element of 0.15%) and the prevailing market yield (currently ISDAFIX) for each installment to be prepaid and applying such Rate Differential to the remaining residual period of such installment and discounting to the net present value as described below. Each of these Rate Differentials will be applied to the corresponding installment to be prepaid during the period starting on the date on which such prepayment is required to be made and ending on the original Repayment Date (as adjusted following any previous prepayments) for such installment and:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the net present value of each corresponding amount resulting from the above calculation will be determined
at the corresponding market yield; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) if the cumulated amount of such present values is negative, no amount shall be due to the Borrower or
from the Borrower.

Such written notice shall include calculations in reasonable detail setting forth the loss or expense to such Lender.

SECTION 4.4.2. <u>Exclusion</u> In the event that a Lender's wilful misconduct or gross negligence has caused the loss or cancellation of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy, the Borrower shall not be liable to indemnify that Lender under <u>Section 4.4.1</u> for its loss or expense arising due to the occurrence of the Prepayment Event referred to in <u>Section 9.1.9</u>.

SECTION 4.5. <u>Increased Capital Costs</u>. If after the Signing Date any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority increases the amount of capital required to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender, and the rate of return on its or such controlling Person's capital as a consequence of its Commitment or its portion of the Loan made by such Lender is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such change in circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. Any such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the capital adequacy requirements which have been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the amount of such lowered return, (iii) describe the manner in which such amount has been calculated, (iv) certify that the method used to calculate such amount is such Lender's standard method of calculating such amount, (v) certify that such request for such additional amounts is consistent with its treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions and (vi) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such change in circumstances is of general application to the commercial banking industry in the jurisdictions in which such Lender does business. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall, subject to the foregoing sentence, deem applicable. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with BpiFAE relating to the Fixed Rate) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid such reduction in such rate of return and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; <u>provided</u> that in relation to increased costs or reductions arising after the Effective Date the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; <u>provided further</u> that, if the circumstance giving rise to such reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but not more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor.

It is acknowledged that the Borrower shall have no liability to compensate any Lender under this Section for reduced returns that accrue before the Effective Time on the Actual Delivery Date (with any compensation liability to the Lenders arising before the Effective Time being the responsibility of the Original Borrower).

SECTION 4.6. <u>Taxes</u>. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loan and all other amounts payable under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender's net income or net receipts of such Lender and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes or taxes on net receipts, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof or the jurisdiction of such Lender's Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or any other jurisdiction unless such net income taxes are imposed solely as a result of the Borrower's activities in such other jurisdiction, and (ii) any taxes imposed under FATCA (such non-excluded items being called "<u>Covered Taxes</u>"). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower under any Loan Document is required in respect of any Covered Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) promptly forward to the Facility Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the
Facility Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) pay to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary
to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such
withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against the Facility Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received or paid by the Facility Agent or such Lender hereunder, the Facility Agent or such Lender may pay such Covered Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the payment of such Covered Taxes (including any Covered Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted.

Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with BpiFAE relating to the Fixed Rate) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

If the Borrower fails to pay any Covered Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Facility Agent for the account of the respective Lenders the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental withholding Covered Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure (so long as such amount did not become payable as a result of the failure of such Lender to provide timely notice to the Borrower of the assertion of a liability related to the payment of Covered Taxes). For purposes of this <u>Section 4.6</u>, a distribution hereunder by the Facility Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

If any Lender is entitled to any refund, credit, deduction or other reduction in tax by reason of any payment made by the Borrower in respect of any Covered Tax under this <u>Section 4.6</u> or by reason of any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to <u>Section 4.3</u>, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such refund, credit, deduction or other reduction and, promptly after receipt thereof, will pay to the Borrower such amount (plus any interest received by such Lender in connection with such refund, credit, deduction or reduction) as is equal to the net after-tax value to such Lender of such part of such refund, credit, deduction or reduction as such Lender reasonably determines is allocable to such Covered Tax or such payment (less out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender), <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall be obligated to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.

Each Lender (and each Participant) agrees with the Borrower and the Facility Agent that it will (i) in the case of a Lender or a Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (a) provide to the Facility Agent and the Borrower an appropriately executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that any payments made to or for the benefit of such Lender or such Participant are effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States (or alternatively, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming the benefits of a tax treaty, but only if the applicable treaty described in such form provides for a complete exemption from U.S. federal income tax withholding), or any successor form, on or prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of any Assignee Lender or Participant, on or prior to the date of the relevant assignment or participation), in each case attached to an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, if appropriate, (b) notify the Facility Agent and the Borrower if the certifications made on any form provided pursuant to this paragraph are no longer accurate and true in all material respects and (c) without prejudice to its obligations under <u>Section 4.13</u>, provide such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law, if any, or as otherwise reasonably requested, to demonstrate, to the extent applicable, that payments to such Lender (or Participant) hereunder are exempt from withholding under FATCA, and (ii) in all cases, provide such forms, certificates or other documents, as and when reasonably requested by the Borrower, necessary to claim any applicable exemption from, or reduction of, Covered Taxes or any payments made to or for benefit of such Lender or such Participant, <u>provided</u> that the Lender or Participant is legally able to deliver such forms, certificates or other documents. For any period with respect to which a Lender (or Assignee Lender or Participant) has failed to provide the Borrower with the foregoing forms (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided (but which, in the case of an Assignee Lender, would be the Signing Date and, in the case of a Participant, would be the date of the relevant participation) or if such form otherwise is not required hereunder) such Lender (or Assignee Lender or Participant) shall not be entitled to the benefits of this <u>Section 4.6</u> with respect to Covered Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

All fees and expenses payable pursuant to <u>Section 11.3</u> shall be paid together with value added tax or any similar tax (if any) properly chargeable thereon. Any value added tax chargeable in respect of any services supplied by a Lender or the Facility Agent under this Agreement shall, on delivery of the value added tax invoice, be paid in addition to any sum agreed to be paid hereunder.

SECTION 4.7. <u>Reserve Costs</u>. Without in any way limiting the Borrower's obligations under <u>Section 4.3</u>, the Borrower shall, with effect from the Effective Time, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender on the last day of each Interest Period, so long as the relevant Lending Office of such Lender is required to maintain reserves against "Eurocurrency liabilities" under Regulation D of the F.R.S. Board, upon notice from such Lender, an additional amount equal to the product of the following for the Loan for each day during such Interest Period:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the principal amount of the Loan outstanding on such day; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the remainder of (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the rate (expressed as a decimal) at which interest accrues on the Loan for such Interest Period as provided in this Agreement (less, if applicable, the Floating Rate Margin) and the denominator of which is one <u>minus</u> any increase after the Signing Date in the effective rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed on such Lender <u>minus</u> (y) such numerator; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) 1/360.

Such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the reserve requirement that has been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the applicable reserve percentage, (iii) certify that such request is consistent with such Lender's treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions and (iv) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such requirements are of general application in the commercial banking industry in the United States.

Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with BpiFAE relating to the Fixed Rate) to avoid the requirement of maintaining such reserves (including by designating a different Lending Office) if such efforts would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 4.8. <u>Payments, Computations, etc.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Unless otherwise expressly provided, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document shall
be made by the Borrower to the Facility Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment (which, in the
case of any payment in respect of an Accordion Advance, shall just be the Accordion Lenders participating in that Accordion Advance).
All such payments required to be made to the Facility Agent shall be made, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim, not later than
11:00 a.m., New York time, on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments
System (or such other funds as may be customary for the settlement of international banking transactions in Dollars), to such account
as the Facility Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have
been received by the Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) Each Lender hereby instructs the Facility Agent, with respect to any portion of the Loan held by such
Lender, to pay directly to such Lender interest thereon at the Fixed Rate (in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan) or the Floating Rate (in
the case of a Floating Rate Loan), on the basis that (if the Fixed Rate applies) such Lender will, where amounts are payable to BpiFAE
by that Lender under the Interest Stabilisation Agreement, account directly to BpiFAE for any such amounts payable by that Lender under
the Interest Stabilisation Agreement to which such Lender is a party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) The Facility Agent shall promptly (but in any event on the same Business Day that the same are received
or, as contemplated in clause (a) of this Section, deemed received) remit in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of
such payments received by the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender without any set-off, deduction or counterclaim. All interest
and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during
the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise
be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time
shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

SECTION 4.10. <u>Sharing of Payments</u>.

SECTION 4.10.1. <u>Payments to Lenders.</u> If a Lender (a "<u>Recovering Lender</u>") receives or recovers any amount from the Borrower other than in accordance with <u>Section 4.8</u> (Payments, Computations, etc.) (a "<u>Recovered Amount</u>") and applies that amount to a payment due under the Loan Documents then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) the Recovering Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery
to the Facility Agent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering
Lender would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with
the said Section 4.8, without taking account of any taxes which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the receipt,
recovery or distribution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) the Recovering Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay
to the Facility Agent an amount (the "**Sharing Payment**") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility
Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Lender as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with any applicable provisions
of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.10.2. <u>Redistribution of payments.</u> The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Borrower and distribute it between the Lenders (other than the Recovering Lender) (the "**Sharing Lenders**") in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement towards the obligations of the Borrower to the Sharing Lenders.

SECTION 4.10.3. <u>Recovering Lender's rights.</u> On a distribution by the Facility Agent under <u>Section 4.10.2</u> of a payment received by a Recovering Lender from the the Borrower, as between the Borrower and the Recovering Lender, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower.

SECTION 4.10.4. <u>Reversal of redistribution</u> If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Lender becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Lender, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) each Sharing Lender shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the account
of that Recovering Lender 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 Lender for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Lender is required
to pay) (the "**Redistributed Amount** "); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) as between the Borrower and each relevant Sharing Lender, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed
Amount will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower.

SECTION 4.10.5. <u>Exceptions.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) This Section 4.10 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Lender would not, after making
any payment pursuant to this Section 4.10, have a valid and enforceable claim against the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) A Recovering Lender is not obliged to share with any other Lender any amount which the Recovering Lender
has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) it notified the other Lender of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the other Lender had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not
do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

SECTION 4.11. <u>Set-off</u>. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Prepayment Event, each Lender shall have, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations then due and owing to it any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Lender; <u>provided</u> that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of <u>Section 4.10</u>. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Facility Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; <u>provided</u> that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 4.12. <u>Use of Proceeds</u>. The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of the Loan made available to the Borrower in respect of the Additional Advances and, as applicable, the Accordion Advances for the purpose of making payments of, or reimbursing the Borrower for payments already made for, the amounts referred to in clauses 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and/or 6 of the Novation Agreement and, without limiting the foregoing, no proceeds of the Loan will be used to acquire any equity security of a class which is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any "margin stock", as defined in F.R.S. Board Regulation U.

SECTION 4.13. <u>FATCA Information.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Subject to paragraph c) below, each party (other than the Borrower) shall, within ten Business Days of
a reasonable request by another party (other than the Borrower):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) not a FATCA Exempt Party;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) If a party confirms to another party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) Paragraph a) above shall not oblige any Lender or the Facility Agent to do anything, and paragraph a)(iii) above
shall not oblige any other party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any law or regulation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any fiduciary duty; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) any duty of confidentiality.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where
paragraph (c) above applies), then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Loan 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) Each party may make a FATCA Deduction from a payment under this Agreement that it is required to be made
by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no party shall be required to increase any payment in
respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

SECTION 4.14. <u>Resignation of the Facility Agent</u>. The Facility Agent shall resign (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Facility Agent) if, either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) the Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under <u>Section 4.13</u> and a Lender reasonably
believes that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to Section 4.13 indicates that the Facility
Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) the Facility Agent notifies the Lenders that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be)
a FATCA Exempt Party;

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

In relation to Section 5.1.10, if the Fixed Rate is to apply to the Loan (or any relevant part of it) and a Lender (an "<u>Ineligible Lender</u>") of that part of the Loan becomes ineligible or otherwise ceases to be a party to an Interest Stabilisation Agreement, it shall promptly upon becoming aware thereof (and by no later than 15 Business Days before the anticipated Actual Delivery Date) notify the Borrower and the Facility Agent.

Following receipt of such a notice, the Facility Agent shall give to the Borrower at least 10 Business Days' prior notice stating if the condition precedent in Section 5.1.10 will not be satisfied due to the Ineligible Lender but would be satisfied by the replacement of the Ineligible Lender as set out below, with such replacement to take effect for the purpose of this Section on the Actual Delivery Date.

On its receipt of such notice from the Facility Agent, the Borrower shall be entitled, at any time thereafter and without prejudice to any rights and remedies it may have against such Ineligible Lender pursuant to Section 3.3.3, to replace such Ineligible Lender with another bank or financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent and BpiFAE with effect from the Actual Delivery Date, provided that (i) each such transfer shall be either a transfer of all of the rights and obligations of the Ineligible Lender under this Agreement or a transfer of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such transfer or other such transfers that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the Ineligible Lender under this Agreement and (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to make effective any such transfer as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from one or more Assignee Lenders in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the portion of the Novated Loan Balance which, immediately following the Effective Time, would have been owing to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.3(a) had that Lender not been replaced prior to the Effective Time. The Facility Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to assist the Borrower in finding a bank or financial institution acceptable to the Borrower to replace such Ineligible Lender, and taking such other steps that may be reasonably required and which are within the control of the Facility Agent to assist with the satisfaction of the condition precedent in Section 5.1.10 prior to funding on the Actual Delivery Date.

Provided however the Borrower shall be entitled, without prejudice to its rights and remedies pursuant to Section 3.3.3, to elect that if at the Actual Delivery Date the condition precedent in Section 5.1.10 is not satisfied the Floating Rate should apply to the Loan, such election to be made by notice in writing to the Facility Agent not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Actual Delivery Date in which event, subject to the approval of BpiFAE, the Loan shall bear interest at the Floating Rate and the condition set out in Section 5.1.10 shall be deemed waived by the Lenders.

The Facility Agent shall, promptly after the Borrower's request, advise the Borrower whether it is aware (based solely on information obtained from BpiFAE and other French Authorities and/or received from the Lenders at the time of any such request and without any liability on the Facility Agent for the accuracy of that information) that the condition precedent in Section 5.1.10 will not or may not be satisfied as required by Section 5.1.10.

SECTION 5.1.11. <u>Escrow Account Security and Escrow Agency and Trust Agreement.</u> The Facility Agent shall have received:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) the Escrow Account Security duly executed by the Borrower together with a duly executed notice of charge
and acknowledgement thereto executed by the Borrower and the Escrow Account Bank respectively; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) the Escrow Agency and Trust Deed duly executed by the parties thereto.

Member Guarantee from a Group Member that owns (directly or indirectly) one or more ECA Financed Vessels but does not own (directly or
indirectly) any other Vessels, the amount of Indebtedness that can be supported by such Group Member Guarantee shall be equal to the aggregate
amount of Indebtedness that would be permitted to be secured under this Section 7.2.9 if, instead of a Group Member Guarantee, each
relevant Principal Subsidiary owning each relevant ECA Financed Vessel was to provide a Lien as credit support in respect of that Indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) where the relevant credit support being provided in accordance with this Section 7.2.9 is a Group
Member Guarantee from a Group Member that owns (directly or indirectly) one or more ECA Financed Vessels and other Vessels, the restrictions

THE FACILITY AGENT

SECTION 10.1. <u>Actions</u>. Each Lender hereby appoints J.P. Morgan SE, as its Facility Agent under and for purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document. Each Lender authorizes the Facility Agent to act on behalf of such Lender under this Agreement and each other Loan Document and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by the Facility Agent (with respect to which the Facility Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this <u>Section 10.1</u> or as otherwise advised by counsel or as otherwise instructed by any French Authority, it being understood and agreed that any instructions provided by a French Authority shall prevail), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Facility Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto. The Facility Agent shall not be obliged to act on the instructions of any Lender or the Required Lenders if to do so would, in the opinion of the Facility Agent, be contrary to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the BpiFAE Insurance Policy or to any law or the conflicting instructions of any French Authority, or would expose the Facility Agent to any actual or potential liability to any third party. As between the Lenders and the Facility Agent, it is acknowledged that the Facility Agent's duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely mechanical and administrative in nature. Each Lender hereby exempts the Facility Agent from the restrictions pursuant to section 181 Civil Code (*Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch*) and similar restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any other applicable law, in each case to the extent legally possible to such Lender. A Lender which cannot grant such exemption shall notify the Facility Agent accordingly and, upon request of the Facility Agent, either act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as required pursuant to this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document or grant a special power of attorney to a party acting on its behalf, in a manner that is not prohibited pursuant to section 181 of the German Civil Code (*Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch*) and/or any other applicable laws.

SECTION 10.2. <u>Indemnity</u>. Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) the Facility Agent, pro rata according to such Lender's Percentage, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that are incurred by or asserted or awarded against, the Facility Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement and any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Facility Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses which have resulted from the Facility Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Facility Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Facility Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Facility Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any such indemnified costs, this Section applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Facility Agent, any Lender or a third party. The Facility Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless it is expressly required to do so under this Agreement or is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of the Facility Agent shall be or become, in the Facility Agent's determination, inadequate, the Facility Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

SECTION 10.3. <u>Funding Reliance, etc</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Each Lender shall notify the Facility Agent by 4:00 p.m., London time, one day prior to the advance of
the Loan if it is not able to fund the following day. Unless the Facility Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing,
by any Lender by 4:00 p.m., London time, on the day prior to the advance of the Loan that such Lender will not make available the amount
which would constitute its Percentage of the Loan on the date specified therefor, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such amount available to the Facility Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, may, but shall not be obliged to, make available to
the Borrower a corresponding amount (and for this purpose having regard to the provisions of paragraph (b) below). If and to the
extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Facility Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree
to repay the Facility Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the
Facility Agent made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent, at the interest rate
applicable at the time to the Loan without premium or penalty.

b)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another party to this Agreement, the Facility 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Unless paragraph (iii) below applies, if the Facility Agent or its Affiliate or representative on its behalf or at its direction in performing the role of the Facility Agent (the Facility Agent and its applicable Affiliate or representative being an "**<u>Agent Entity</u>**") pays an amount to another party to this Agreement (unless sub-paragraph (iii) below applies) or, at the direction of such party, that party's Affiliate, related fund or representative (such other party and its applicable Affiliate, related fund or representative being an "**<u>Other Party Entity</u>**") and it proves to be the case (and for this purpose a statement of the Facility Agent given in good faith shall be prima facie evidence of this) that (A) neither the Facility Agent nor the applicable Agent Entity actually received that amount or (B) such amount was otherwise paid in error (whether such error was known or ought to have been known to such other party or applicable Other Party Entity), then the party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid (or on whose direction its applicable Other Party Entity was paid) by the applicable Agent Entity shall hold such amount on trust or, to the extent not possible as a matter of law, for the account (or will procure that its applicable Other Party Entity holds on trust or for the account) of the Agent Entity and on demand (or will procure that its applicable Other Party Entity shall on demand) refund the same to the Agent Entity together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent Entity, calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) If the Facility Agent, upon the Borrower's written request, is willing to make available amounts for the account of the Borrower before receiving funds from the Lenders then, if and to the extent that the Facility Agent does so but it proves to be the case (and for this purpose a statement of the Facility Agent given in good faith shall be prima facie evidence of this) that it does not then receive funds from a Lender (such Lender being a "**<u>Defaulting Lender</u>**") in respect of such sum which it paid to the Borrower (or as it may direct) then: (A) the Facility Agent shall notify (and the Lenders expressly acknowledge that the Facility Agent shall be entitled to so notify) the Borrower of the identity of the Defaulting Lender; (B) without prejudice to any rights of the Borrower against the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in relation to any amounts required to be paid by the Borrower under sub-paragraph (C) below) the Borrower shall (or shall procure that its applicable Other Party Entity to whom such amount was paid shall) hold such amount on trust or, to the extent not possible as a matter of law, for the account, of the Facility Agent and on demand refund it to the Facility Agent; and (C) the Defaulting Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if that Defaulting Lender fails to do so (and having regard to paragraph (iv) below), the Borrower shall on demand pay to the Facility Agent the amount (as certified by the Facility Agent) which will indemnify the Facility Agent against any funding cost incurred by it as a result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from the Defaulting Lender

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that, without prejudice to the requirement of the Borrower to make the payments referred to in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay interest for the account of the Defaulting Lender on the part of the Loan that was not made available by that Defaulting Lender but which was pre-funded by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Section 10.3(b); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify the Borrower for any costs, losses or liabilities incurred by the Borrower arising from the Defaulting Lender's failure to make any payment under sub-Section (iii) above.

SECTION 10.4. <u>Exculpation</u>. Neither the Facility Agent nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Facility Agent (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or the existence at any time of any Default or Prepayment Event or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by action upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties, and (vi) shall have no responsibility to the Borrower or any Lender on account of (A) the failure of a Lender or the Borrower to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document; (B) the financial condition of the Borrower; (C) the completeness or accuracy of any statements, representations or warranties made in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document, or in or pursuant to any document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document; or (D) the negotiation, execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, admissibility in evidence or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Loan Document or of any document executed or delivered pursuant to or in connection with any Loan Document.

SECTION 10.5. <u>Successor</u>. The Facility Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days' prior notice to the Borrower and all Lenders and shall resign where required to do in accordance with <u>Section 4.14</u>, <u>provided</u> that any such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Facility Agent has been appointed as provided in this <u>Section 10.5</u> and such successor Facility Agent has accepted such appointment. If the Facility Agent at any time shall resign, the Required Lenders shall, subject to the immediately preceding proviso and subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint another Lender as a successor to the Facility Agent which shall thereupon become such Facility Agent's successor hereunder (<u>provided</u> that the Required Lenders shall, subject to the consent of the Borrower unless an Event of Default or a Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) offer to each of the other Lenders in turn, in the order of their respective Percentages of the Loan, the right to become successor Facility Agent). If no successor Facility Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the Facility Agent's giving notice of resignation, then the Facility Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Facility Agent, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies), subject, in each case, to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Facility Agent hereunder by a successor Facility Agent, such successor Facility Agent shall be entitled to receive from the resigning Facility Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Facility Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Facility Agent, and the resigning Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any resigning Facility Agent's resignation hereunder as the Facility Agent, the provisions of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was the Facility Agent under this Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) <u>Section 11.3</u> and <u>Section 11.4</u> shall continue
to inure to its benefit.

If a Lender acting as the Facility Agent assigns its Loan to one of its Affiliates, such Facility Agent may, subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) assign its rights and obligations as Facility Agent to such Affiliate.

SECTION 10.6. <u>Loans by the Facility Agent</u>. The Facility Agent shall have the same rights and powers with respect to the Loan made by it or any of its Affiliates.

The Facility Agent shall have no duty to disclose information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as the Facility Agent.

SECTION 10.7. <u>Credit Decisions</u>.

Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Facility Agent and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 10.8. <u>Copies, etc</u>. The Facility Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to the Facility Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Borrower).

SECTION 10.9. <u>The Facility Agent's Rights</u>. The Facility Agent may (i) assume that all representations or warranties made or deemed repeated by the Borrower in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document are true and complete, unless, in its capacity as the Facility Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary, (ii) assume that no Default has occurred unless, in its capacity as Facility Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary, (iii) rely on any document or notice believed by it to be genuine, (iv) rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it, (v) rely as to any factual matters which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of the Borrower on a certificate signed by or on behalf of the Borrower and (vi) refrain from exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy unless and until instructed to exercise that right, power, discretion or remedy and as to the manner of its exercise by the Lenders (or, where applicable, by the Required Lenders) and unless and until the Facility Agent has received from the Lenders any payment which the Facility Agent may require on account of, or any security which the Facility Agent may require for, any costs, claims, expenses (including legal and other professional fees) and liabilities which it considers it may incur or sustain in complying with those instructions.

SECTION 10.10. <u>The Facility Agent's Duties</u>. The Facility Agent shall (i) if requested in writing to do so by a Lender, make enquiry and advise the Lenders as to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document by the Borrower or as to the existence of an Event of Default and (ii) inform the Lenders promptly of any Event of Default of which the Facility Agent has actual knowledge.

The Facility Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of the falsehood or incompleteness of any representation or warranty made or deemed repeated by the Borrower or actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Default unless a Lender or the Borrower shall have given written notice thereof to the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent. Any information acquired by the Facility Agent other than specifically in its capacity as the Facility Agent shall not be deemed to be information acquired by the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent.

The Facility Agent may, without any liability to account to the Lenders, generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the Borrower or with the Borrower's Subsidiaries or associated companies or with a Lender as if it were not the Facility Agent.

SECTION 10.11. <u>Employment of the Facility Agent</u>. In performing its duties and exercising its rights, powers, discretions and remedies under or pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to employ and pay agents to do anything which the Facility Agent is empowered to do under or pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents (including the receipt of money and documents and the payment of money); <u>provided</u> that, unless otherwise provided herein, including without limitation <u>Section 11.3</u>, the employment of such agents shall be for the Facility Agent's account, and to act or refrain from taking action in reliance on the opinion of, or advice or information obtained from, any lawyer, banker, broker, accountant, valuer or any other person believed by the Facility Agent in good faith to be competent to give such opinion, advice or information.

SECTION 10.12. <u>Distribution of Payments</u>. The Facility Agent shall pay promptly to the order of each Lender that Lender's percentage share of every sum of money received by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any amounts payable pursuant to <u>Section 4.4.1</u> but not including any amounts payable pursuant to the Fee Letter and any amounts which, by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, are paid to the Facility Agent for the account of the Facility Agent alone or specifically for the account of one or more Lenders) and until so paid such amount shall be held by the Facility Agent on trust absolutely for that Lender.

SECTION 10.13. <u>Reimbursement</u>. The Facility Agent shall have no liability to pay any sum to a Lender until it has itself received payment of that sum. If, however, the Facility Agent does pay any sum to a Lender on account of any amount prospectively due to that Lender pursuant to <u>Section 10.12</u> before it has itself received payment of that amount, and the Facility Agent does not in fact receive payment within two (2) Business Days after the date on which that payment was required to be made by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, that Lender will, on demand by the Facility Agent, refund to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the amount received by it, together with an amount sufficient to reimburse the Facility Agent for any amount which the Facility Agent may certify that it has been required to pay by way of interest on money borrowed to fund the amount in question during the period beginning on the date on which that amount was required to be paid by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents and ending on the date on which the Facility Agent receives reimbursement.

SECTION 10.14. <u>Instructions</u>. Where the Facility Agent is authorized or directed to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders or of the Required Lenders each of the Lenders shall provide the Facility Agent with instructions within three (3) Business Days of the Facility Agent's request (which request may be made orally or in writing). If a Lender does not provide the Facility Agent with instructions within that period, that Lender shall be bound by the decision of the Facility Agent. Nothing in this <u>Section 10.14</u> shall limit the right of the Facility Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action without obtaining the instructions of the Lenders or the Required Lenders if the Facility Agent in its discretion considers it necessary or appropriate to take, or refrain from taking, such action in order to preserve the rights of the Lenders under or in connection with this Agreement or the Loan Documents. In that event, the Facility Agent will notify the Lenders of the action taken by it as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Lenders agree to ratify any action taken by the Facility Agent pursuant to this <u>Section 10.14</u>.

SECTION 10.15. <u>Payments</u>. All amounts payable to a Lender under this <u>Section 10</u> shall be paid to such account at such bank as that Lender may from time to time direct in writing to the Facility Agent.

SECTION 10.16. <u>"Know your customer" Checks</u>. Each Lender shall promptly upon the request of the Facility Agent supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Facility Agent (for itself) in order for the Facility Agent to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.17. <u>No Fiduciary Relationship</u>. Except as provided in <u>Section 10.12</u>, the Facility Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with or be deemed to be a trustee of or for any other person and nothing contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall constitute a partnership between any two or more Lenders or between the Facility Agent and any other person.

SECTION 10.18. <u>Illegality</u>. The Facility Agent shall refrain from doing anything which it reasonably believes would be contrary to any law of any jurisdiction (including but not limited to England and Wales, the United States of America or any jurisdiction forming part of it) or any regulation or directive of any agency of such state or jurisdiction or which would or might render it liable to any person and may without liability do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation.

by the Facility Agent to the Borrower; <u>provided</u> that any Communication requested pursuant to <u>Section 7.1.1(h)</u> shall

Borrower may specifically agree available to the Lenders by posting such notices, at the option of the Borrower, on Debt Domain or any
similar such platform (the " <u>Platform</u> ") acceptable to the Borrower. Although the primary web portal is secured with
a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System and the Platform is secured through a single user per deal authorization method
whereby each user may access the Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, the Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material
through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution,

The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable expenses of the Facility Agent (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to the Facility Agent and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by counsel to the Facility Agent) in connection with (a) the BpiFAE Insurance Policy (other than the BpiFAE Premium) and (b) any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document as may from time to time hereafter be required, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, together with any documented costs and expenses incurred by the Facility Agent to the provider of the Platform (as defined in Section 11.2.c)) in connection with the operation and/or use of the Platform save that where such amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification arises in connection with a change of law, statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation or the requirements of any applicable central bank, regulator or other supervisory authority or a group of them, or any working group or committee sponsored or chaired by, or constituted at the request of, any of them or any Published Rate Replacement Event the Facility Agent shall obtain a fee estimate from 1 law firm or, if requested by the Borrower, 2 law firms for the Borrower's approval prior to incurring such reasonable expenses. The Borrower further agrees to pay, and to save the Facility Agent and the Lenders harmless from all liability for, any stamp, recording, documentary or other similar taxes arising from the execution, delivery or enforcement of this Agreement or the borrowing hereunder or any other Loan Documents. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Facility Agent and each Lender upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Facility Agent or such Lender in connection with (x) the negotiation of any restructuring or "work-out", whether or not consummated, of any Obligations and (y) the enforcement of any Obligations.

SECTION 11.4. <u>Indemnification</u>. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Lender and the extension of the Commitments, the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Facility Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, advisors, directors and employees (collectively, the "<u>Indemnified Parties</u>") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans (collectively, the "<u>Indemnified Liabilities</u>"), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct or the material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the BpiFAE Insurance Policy or any Interest Stabilisation Agreement and which breach is not attributable to the Borrower's own breach of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or is a claim, damage, loss, liability or expense which would have been compensated under other provisions of the Loan Documents but for any exclusions applicable thereunder.

In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto. Each Indemnified Party shall (a) furnish the Borrower with prompt notice of any action, suit or other claim covered by this <u>Section 11.4</u>, (b) not agree to any settlement or compromise of any such action, suit or claim without the Borrower's prior consent, (c) shall cooperate fully in the Borrower's defense of any such action, suit or other claim (<u>provided</u> that the Borrower shall reimburse such indemnified party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred pursuant hereto) and (d) at the Borrower's request, permit the Borrower to assume control of the defense of any such claim, other than regulatory, supervisory or similar investigations, <u>provided</u> that (i) the Borrower acknowledges in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms herein in connection with such claims, (ii) the Borrower shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed with respect to the conduct of the defense of such claim, (iii) the Borrower shall consult in good faith with the Indemnified Party (from time to time and before taking any material decision) about the conduct of the defense of such claim, (iv) the Borrower shall conduct the defense of such claim properly and diligently taking into account its own interests and those of the Indemnified Party, (v) the Borrower shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at the Borrower's expense, and (vi) the Borrower shall not enter into a settlement with respect to such claim unless either (A) such settlement involves only the payment of a monetary sum, does not include any performance by or an admission of liability or responsibility on the part of the Indemnified Party, and contains a provision unconditionally releasing the Indemnified Party and each other indemnified party from, and holding all such persons harmless, against, all liability in respect of claims by any releasing party or (B) the Indemnified Party provides written consent to such settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the Borrower's election to assume the defense of such action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action and the Borrower shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Borrower and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower and determined that it is necessary to employ separate counsel in order to pursue such defenses (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on the Indemnified Party's behalf), (iii) the Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, or (iv) the Borrower authorizes the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Borrower's expense. The Borrower acknowledges that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

The obligations of the Borrower under Sections <u>4.3</u>, <u>4.4</u>, <u>4.5</u>, <u>4.6</u>, <u>4.7</u>, <u>11.3</u> and <u>11.4</u> and the obligations of the Lenders under <u>Section 10.1</u>, shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all Obligations. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document.

SECTION 11.6. <u>Severability</u>. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.10. <u>Successors and Assigns</u>. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; <u>provided</u> that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) except to the extent permitted under <u>Section 7.2.6</u>, the Borrower may not assign or transfer
its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, each Lender and BpiFAE; and

Each Lender may (subject to the other provisions of this Section 11) assign its Percentage or portion of the Loan to one or more other Persons (a "<u>New Lender</u>"), or sell participations in its Percentage or portion of the Loan to one or more other Persons; <u>provided</u> that, in the case of assignments where the Fixed Rate applies, such New Lender enters into an Interest Stabilisation Agreement.

SECTION 11.11.1. <u>Assignments</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Any Lender with the prior written consents of the Borrower and the Facility Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld and which consent, in the case of the Borrower, shall be deemed to have been given in the absence of a written notice delivered by the Borrower to the Facility Agent, on or before the fifth Business Day after receipt by the Borrower of such Lender's request for consent, stating, in reasonable detail, the reasons why the Borrower proposes to withhold such consent) may at any time (and from time to time) assign or transfer to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions all or any fraction of such Lender's portion of the Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Any Lender, with notice to the Borrower and the Facility Agent, and, notwithstanding the foregoing <u>clause (i)</u>, without the consent of the Borrower, or the Facility Agent may assign or transfer (A) to any of its Affiliates or (B) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 8.1.1, 8.1.4(a) or 8.1.5, to any other Person, in each case, all or any fraction of such Lender's portion of the Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Any Lender may (notwithstanding the foregoing clauses, and without notice to, or consent from, the Borrower or the Facility Agent) assign or charge all or any fraction of its portion of the Loan to any federal reserve, central bank or any *société de crédit foncier* which is an Affiliate of an existing Lender as collateral security in connection with the extension of credit or support by such federal reserve, central bank or *société de crédit foncier* to such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Any Lender may (notwithstanding the foregoing clauses, and without notice to, or consent from, the Borrower or the Facility Agent) assign or charge all or any fraction of its portion of the Loan to BpiFAE as a result of, or in connection with, the BpiFAE Insurance Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) No Lender may (notwithstanding the foregoing clauses) assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement unless it has given prior written notification of the transfer to BpiFAE and has obtained a prior written consent from BpiFAE and any Assignee Lender is, if the Fixed Rate applies, eligible to benefit from the Fixed Rate stabilisation. Any assignment or transfer shall comply with the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy.

Each Person described in the foregoing clauses as being the Person to whom such assignment or transfer is to be made, is hereinafter referred to as an "<u>Assignee Lender</u>". Assignments of the type referred to in paragraph (i) and (ii) above shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000 (or, if less, all of such Lender's portion of the Loan and Commitment) (which assignment or transfer shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of such Lender's portion of the Loan).

In respect of any assignment under this section 11.11.1., the Borrower and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned or transferred to an Assignee Lender until:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) written notice of such assignment or transfer, together with payment instructions, addresses and related
information with respect to such Assignee Lender, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Facility Agent by such Lender and such
Assignee Lender;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) such Assignee Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Borrower and the Facility Agent a Lender
Assignment Agreement, accepted by the Facility Agent and any other agreements required by the Facility Agent or, if the Fixed Rate applies,
BpiFAE in connection therewith; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) the processing fees described below shall have been paid.

From and after the date that the Facility Agent accepts such Lender Assignment Agreement, (x) the Assignee Lender thereunder shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned or transferred to such Assignee Lender in connection with such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (y) the assignor Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned or transferred by it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, other than any obligations arising prior to the effective date of such assignment. Except to the extent resulting from a subsequent change in law subsequent to the date of the relevant assignment, in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay to any Assignee Lender any amount under <u>Clause 6 of Exhibit F</u> or <u>Sections 4.3</u>, <u>4.4</u>, <u>4.5</u>, <u>4.6</u> and <u>4.7</u> that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no such assignment been made. Such assignor Lender or such Assignee Lender must also pay a processing fee to the Facility Agent upon delivery of any Lender Assignment Agreement in the amount of $5,000 (and shall also reimburse the Facility Agent and BpiFAE for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the assignment).

SECTION 11.11.2. <u>Participations</u>. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions (each of such commercial banks and other financial institutions being herein called a "<u>Participant</u>") participating interests in its Loan; <u>provided</u> that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) no participation contemplated in this <u>Section 11.11.2</u> shall relieve such Lender from its obligations
hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) the Borrower and the Facility Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Lender, shall be entitled to require such
Lender to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, except that such Lender may agree with any
Participant that such Lender will not, without such Participant's consent, take any actions of the type described in <u>clauses (b)</u> through <u>(f)</u> of <u>Section 11.1</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under <u>Clause 6 of Exhibit F</u> or <u>Sections 4.3</u>, <u>4.4</u>, <u>4.5</u>, <u>4.6</u> and <u>4.7</u> that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had
no participating interest been sold; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) each Lender that sells a participation under this <u>Section 11.11.2</u> shall, acting solely for
this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant
and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each of the Participant's interest in that Lender's portion of the Loan,
Commitments or other interests hereunder (the " <u>Participant Register</u> "). The entries in the Participant Register shall
be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner
of such participation for all purposes hereunder.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for purposes of <u>Clause 6 of Exhibit F</u> or <u>Sections 4.3</u>, <u>4.4</u>, <u>4.5</u> and <u>4.6</u>, shall be considered a Lender.

SECTION 11.11.3. <u>Register</u>. The Facility Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in <u>Section 11.2</u> a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment(s) of, and principal amount of the Loan owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "<u>Register</u>"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

SECTION 11.11.4. <u>Rights of BpiFAE to payments</u>. The Borrower acknowledges that, immediately upon any payment by BpiFAE of any amounts to a Lender under the BpiFAE Insurance Policy, BpiFAE will be automatically subrogated to the extent of such payment to the rights of that Lender under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 11.12. <u>Other Transactions</u>. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Facility Agent or any Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which the Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

SECTION 11.13. <u>BpiFAE Insurance Policy.</u>

SECTION 11.13.1. <u>Terms of BpiFAE Insurance Policy</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) The BpiFAE Insurance Policy will cover 100% of the Loan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) The BpiFAE Premium (other than any BpiFAE Accordion Premium) for the Loan (excluding the Accordion Advances)
will equal 3.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loan (excluding the Accordion Advances) as at the Actual Delivery Date. The
BpiFAE Accordion Premium in respect of an Accordion Advance will, as contemplated, be agreed and confirmed in the Accordion Agreement
relating to that Accordion Advance pursuant to the arrangements set out in clause 6 of the Novation Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) If, after the Actual Delivery Date, the Borrower prepays all or part of
the Loan in accordance with this Agreement, BpiFAE shall reimburse to the Facility Agent for the account of the Borrower an amount
equal to 80% of all or a corresponding proportion of the unexpired portion of the BpiFAE Premium, having regard to the amount of the prepayment
and the remaining term of the Loan, such amount to be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

R = P x (1 – (1 / (1+ 3.50%)) x (N / (12 \* 365)) x 80%

where:

"R" means the amount of the refund;

"P" means the amount of the prepayment;

"N" means the number of days between the effective prepayment date and Final Maturity; and

P x (1 – (1 / (1+3.50%))) corresponds to the share of the financed BpiFAE Premium corresponding to P.

It is acknowledged and agreed that in the case of any refund of the BpiFAE Accordion Premium in relation to an Accordion Advance in accordance with paragraph c) above, the percentage referred to in the calculations above shall, for the purposes of determining the relevant amount of BpiFAE Accordion Premium to be refunded, be replaced with the relevant percentage amount of the BpiFAE Accordion Premium for that Accordion Advance (as confirmed in the relevant Accordion Agreement).

SECTION 11.13.2. <u>Obligations of the Borrower.</u> Provided that the BpiFAE Insurance Policy complies with <u>Section 11.13.1</u> and remains in full force and effect, the Borrower shall pay the balance of the BpiFAE Premium calculated in accordance with <u>Section 11.13.1(b)</u> and still owing to BpiFAE on the Actual Delivery Date to BpiFAE on the Actual Delivery Date by directing the Facility Agent in the Loan Request to pay the Additional Advances and, if applicable, the Accordion Advances in respect of the BpiFAE Premium (including for this purpose, if applicable in respect of an Accordion Advance, the BpiFAE Accordion Premium) directly to BpiFAE.

SECTION 11.13.3. <u>Obligations of the Facility Agent and the Lenders.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Promptly upon receipt of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy from BpiFAE, the Facility Agent shall (subject to
any confidentiality undertakings given to BpiFAE by the Facility Agent pursuant to the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy) send a copy
thereof to the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) The Facility Agent shall perform such acts or provide such information, which are, acting reasonably,
within its power so to perform or so to provide, as required by BpiFAE under the BpiFAE Insurance Policy as necessary to ensure that the
Lenders obtain the support of BpiFAE pursuant to the BpiFAE Insurance Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) Each Lender will co-operate with the Facility Agent and each other Lender, and take such action and/or
refrain from taking such action as may be reasonably necessary, to ensure that the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and, if the Fixed Rate applies,
each Interest Stabilisation Agreement continues in full force and effect and shall indemnify and hold harmless each other Lender in the
event that the BpiFAE Insurance Policy or (if applicable) such Interest Stabilisation Agreement (as the case may be) does not continue
in full force and effect due to its gross negligence or willful default or due to a voluntary change in status which results in it no
longer being eligible for Fixed Rate interest stabilisation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) The Facility Agent, shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) make written requests to BpiFAE seeking a reimbursement of the BpiFAE Premium in the circumstances described in <u>Section 11.13.1(c)</u> promptly after the relevant cancellation or prepayment and (subject to any confidentiality undertakings given to BpiFAE by the Facility Agent pursuant to the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy) provide a copy of the request to the Borrower;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) use its reasonable endeavours to seek any reimbursement of the BpiFAE Premium to which the Facility Agent is entitled;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) pay to the Borrower (in the same currency as the refund received from BpiFAE) the full amount of any reimbursement of the BpiFAE Premium that the Facility Agent receives from BpiFAE within two (2) Business Days of receipt; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) relay the good faith concerns of the Borrower to BpiFAE regarding the amount of any reimbursement to which the Facility Agent is entitled, it being agreed that the Facility Agent's obligation shall be no greater than simply to pass on to BpiFAE the Borrower's concerns.

Date;]

[·], 2025

**Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.**

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as legal counsel on matters of Liberian law to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., a Liberian corporation (the "**Borrower**"), in connection with a Hull No. V35 Credit Agreement dated [·], 2025 as novated, amended and restated as of [·], 2025, by the Novation Agreement (as defined below) (the "**Credit Agreement**") and made among (1) the Borrower, (2) J.P. Morgan SE as facility agent (the "**Facility Agent**"), (3) [J.P. Morgan SE, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A., Paris Branch, CaixaBank, S.A. succursale en France, HSBC Continental Europe, Banco Santander, S.A. and Société Générale] as mandated lead arrangers (the "**Mandated Lead Arrangers**") and (4) the financial institutions listed in Schedule 1 to the Novation Agreement (as defined below) as lenders (the "**Lenders**"), in respect of a loan facility in an amount not to exceed the US Dollar Equivalent of €[1,049,076,000].

We have also acted as legal counsel on matters of Liberian law to the Borrower in connection with a Novation Agreement dated [·], 2025 (the "**Novation Agreement**") to which the Credit Agreement is scheduled and made among the parties to the Credit Agreement, [Société Générale] as security trustee (the "**Security Trustee**"), J.P. Morgan SE as global coordinator (the "**Global Coordinator**", and together with the Lenders, the Facility Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Security Trustee, the "**Finance Parties**"), and SPV EDGE6 V35 LTD, a Cayman Islands company.

This opinion is furnished to the addressees pursuant to Section 5.1.2.a of the Credit Agreement. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the same meaning when used herein.

![](tm2519254d1_ex10-1img002.jpg)

![](tm2519254d1_ex10-1img003.jpg)

In rendering this opinion we have examined an executed copy of each of the following documents (together with the Credit Agreement, collectively, the "**Documents**"):

1. the Novation Agreement;

2. An Agency and Trust Deed dated [the date hereof][[ · ], 2025] (the "**Agency and Trust Deed** ")
made among the Finance Parties and the Borrower; and

3. An Account Security Deed dated [the date hereof][[ · ], 2025] (the "**Account Security Deed** ")
between the Borrower and the Security Trustee, respecting the Account described therein.

We have also examined originals or photostatic copies or certified copies of all such agreements and other instruments, certificates by public officials and certificates of officers of the Borrower as are relevant and necessary and relevant corporate authorities of the Borrower. We have assumed with your approval, the genuineness of all signatures (including electronic signatures), the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the power, authority and legal right of the parties to the Documents other than the Borrower to enter into and perform their respective obligations under the Documents, and the due authorization of the execution of the Documents by all parties thereto other than the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, the due execution opinion relates only to an authorized person executing on behalf of the Borrower, and we do not opine on the use of electronic signatures, which is a matter governed by the law of the relevant Document, and we therefore assume the use of electronic signatures is valid under all laws. We have also assumed that (i) the Borrower does not have its management and control in Liberia, or undertake any business activity or operations in Liberia, and (ii) less than a majority of the direct or indirect shareholders of the Borrower by vote or value are resident in Liberia. We have further assumed the validity and enforceability of the Documents under all applicable laws other than the law of the Republic of Liberia.

As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon certificates of public officials and of officers or representatives of the Borrower.

We are attorneys admitted to practice in the State of New York and do not purport to be experts in the laws of any other jurisdiction. Insofar as our opinion relates to the law of the Republic of Liberia, we have relied on opinions of counsel in Liberia rendered in transactions which we consider to afford a satisfactory basis for such opinion, and upon our independent examinations of the Liberian Corporation Act of 1948 (Chapter 1 of Title 4 of the Liberian Code of Laws of 1956, effective March 1, 1958 as amended to July, 1973), the Liberian Business Corporation Act of 1976 (Title 5 of the Liberian Code of Laws Revised of 1976, effective January 3, 1977 as amended) (the "**Business Corporation Act**"), the Liberian Maritime Law (Title 21 of the Liberian Code of Laws of 1956 as amended), the Revenue Code of Liberia (2000) as amended by the Consolidated Tax Amendments Act of 2011, and the Liberian Commercial Code of 2010, made available to us by Liberian Corporation Services, Inc. and the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry, LLC, and our knowledge and interpretation of analogous laws in the United States. In rendering our opinion as to the valid existence in good standing of the Borrower, we have relied solely on a Certificate of Goodstanding issued by order of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Liberia on [·], 2025.

This opinion is limited to the law of the Republic of Liberia. We express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and having regard to the legal considerations which we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

A. The Borrower is a corporation incorporated, validly existing under the Business Corporation Act and in
good standing under the law of the Republic of Liberia.

![](tm2519254d1_ex10-1img003.jpg)

B. The Borrower has full right, power and authority to enter into, execute and deliver each of the Novation
Agreement, the Agency and Trust Deed and the Account Security Deed and to perform each and all of its obligations under the Documents.

C. The Borrower has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the entry into each of the Novation
Agreement, the Agency and Trust Deed and the Account Security Deed and the performance of its obligations thereunder.

D. Each of the Novation Agreement, the Agency and Trust Deed and the Account Security Deed has been executed
and delivered by a duly authorized signatory of the Borrower.

E. Each of the Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable
against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

F. Neither the execution nor delivery of the Novation Agreement, the Agency and Trust Deed and the Account
Security Deed, nor the transactions contemplated in the Documents, nor compliance with the terms and conditions thereof, will contravene
any provisions of Liberian law or violate any provisions of the Articles of Incorporation (inclusive of any articles of amendment thereto)
or the Bylaws of the Borrower.

G. No consent or approval of, or exemption by, any Liberian governmental or public bodies and authorities
are required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Novation Agreement, the Agency and Trust Deed and the
Account Security Deed.

H. Assuming that none of the Finance Parties is doing business in the Republic of Liberia, it is not necessary
under Liberian law for the purpose of commencement of legal proceedings by any of the Finance Parties in the courts of the Republic of
Liberia that any of the Finance Parties be licensed by any governmental authority of, or otherwise registered in any public office or
elsewhere in, the Republic of Liberia.

I. It is not necessary to file, record or register any of the Documents or any instrument relating thereto
or effect any other official action in any public office or elsewhere in the Republic of Liberia to render any such document enforceable
against the Borrower.

J. Assuming none of the Novation Agreement, the Agency and Trust Deed or the Account Security Deed have been
executed in the Republic of Liberia, no stamp or registration or similar taxes or charges are payable in the Republic of Liberia in respect
of the Documents or the enforcement thereof in the courts of Liberia other than customary court fees payable in litigation in the courts
of Liberia.

K. The Borrower is not required or entitled under any existing applicable law or regulation of the Republic
of Liberia to make any withholding or deduction in respect of any tax or otherwise from any payment which it is or may be required to
make under any of the Documents.

L. Assuming that the shares of the Borrower are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Republic of Liberia
or any other sovereign under Liberian law, neither the Borrower nor the property or assets of the Borrower is immune from the institution
of legal proceedings or the obtaining or execution of a judgment in the Republic of Liberia.

![](tm2519254d1_ex10-1img003.jpg)

M. Under Liberian law the choice by the Borrower of English law to govern the Documents is a valid choice
of law. The submission in the Documents by the Borrower to the jurisdiction of the courts of England is a valid submission and does not
contravene Liberian law but to the extent such submission purports to be exclusive to such courts, such exclusivity may not be enforceable
under Liberian law.

N. None of the Finance Parties will be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on business in the Republic
of Liberia solely by reason of the execution of the Novation Agreement, the Agency and Trust Deed and the Account Security Deed, or the
performance or enforcement of the Documents.

O. To the best of our knowledge without having made any investigation of agreements (other than our examination
of the Documents) to which the Borrower is a party, claims against the Borrower under the Documents will rank at least *pari passu* with the claims of all unsecured creditors of the Borrower except those mandatorily preferred by law.

We qualify our opinion to the extent that:

(i) the enforceability of the rights and remedies provided for in the Documents (a) may be limited by
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights
and (b) is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law), including application by a court of competent jurisdiction of principles of good faith, fair dealing, commercial reasonableness,
materiality, unconscionability and conflict with public policy or similar principles;

(ii) we express no opinion as to the enforceability under Liberian law of any provision in any Document which
purports to confer upon the courts of England exclusive jurisdiction to settle disputes arising out of or in connection therewith to the
extent that any such provision deprives the Republic of Liberia of jurisdiction over a Liberian corporation; and

(iii) our opinion in paragraph H is given on the basis of the requirements under Liberian law which would apply
to companies generally in connection with entering into a document of the type of the Documents or enforcing its rights under them and
we have not performed any specific analysis of the individual position of any of the Finance Parties.

A copy of this opinion letter may be delivered by any of you to any Person that becomes a Finance Party in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and to *BpiFrance Assurance Export* ("**BpiFAE**"). Any such Finance Party and/or BpiFAE may rely on the opinions expressed above as if this opinion letter were addressed and delivered to such Finance Party and/or BpiFAE on the date hereof.

![](tm2519254d1_ex10-1img003.jpg)

This opinion may not be disclosed to any person other than: (a) those Persons (such as auditors or regulatory authorities) who, in the ordinary course of business of the Finance Parties and BpiFAE and their respective affiliates have access to their papers and records or are entitled by law to see them, (b) those Persons who are considering becoming Lenders and/or sub-participants and any professional advisers of such Lenders and/or sub-participants, (c) those Persons in whose favor a Lender charges, assigns or otherwise creates security (or may do so) pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (d) any affiliates of any of the Finance Parties and BpiFAE and the officers, directors, employees and professional advisers of such affiliate, (e) to any Persons as required by law or regulation, court order or pursuant to the rules or regulations of any supervisory or regulatory body or any relevant stock exchange, (f) to any judicial authority in connection with judicial proceedings, (g) any insurer, reinsurer, risk mitigation provider, insurance broker or reinsurance broker of any of the Finance Parties and BpiFAE and any agent of such insurer, reinsurer, risk mitigation provider, insurance broker or reinsurance broker, (h) the officers, directors, employees and professional advisers of any of the Finance Parties and BpiFAE, and (i) to the extent required in connection with any actual or potential dispute or claim to which any addressee or any other Lender is a party and which relates to the Documents,

on the basis that (i) such disclosure is made solely to enable any such Person to be informed that an opinion has been given and to be made aware of its terms but not for the purposes of reliance, (ii) we do not assume any duty or liability to any Person to whom such disclosure is made and (iii) (other than in relation to disclosure under paragraphs (a), (e) and (f)) such Person agrees not to further disclose this opinion or its contents to any other Person, other than as permitted above, without our prior written consent.

This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise you or any other Lender who is permitted to rely on the opinion expressed herein as specified in the next preceding paragraph of any development or circumstance of any kind including any change of law or fact that may occur after the date of this opinion letter even though such development, circumstance or change may affect the legal analysis, a legal conclusion or any other matter set forth in or relating to this opinion letter. Accordingly, any of the Finance Parties and BpiFAE relying on this opinion letter at any time should seek advice of its counsel as to the proper application of this opinion letter at such time.

Very truly yours,

Dear Sir / Madam

**Edge 6**

In accordance with section 5.1.2(b) (*Opinions of Counsel*) of the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), please find enclosed our opinion in relation to the English law documents involved in this transaction.

Yours faithfully

Norton Rose Fulbright LLP

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1** | **Background** |

---

1.1 This opinion is given at the request of our client J.P. Morgan SE (the **Facility Agent**) in relation
to the English law aspects of a loan transaction (the **Transaction**) by which certain banks party thereto as lender (the **Lenders**)
have made available a credit facility of the USD equivalent of up to EUR [1,049,076,000] to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. as borrower (the **Company**) pursuant to a Credit Agreement (as defined in the Schedule).

1.2 We have acted as English legal advisers to the Facility Agent and the Lenders in relation to the Transaction.

1.1 We have examined copies of the following documents relating to the Transaction:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the loan documents governed by English law described in part 1 of the Schedule (the **English Financing Documents**); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the security document governed by English law described in part 2 of the Schedule (the **English Security Document**).

1.2 In this opinion, the English Financing Documents and the English Security Document are referred to as
the **English Documents**.

1.3 For the purpose of giving this opinion, we have examined no other documents and have undertaken no other
enquiries.

1.4 Our opinions are given in part 2. Part 3 explains their scope, part 4 describes the assumptions on
which they are made and part 5 contains the qualifications to which they are subject.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **2** | **Opinions** |

---

Based on, and subject to, the other provisions of this opinion, we are of the following opinions:

**Effect of the English Documents**

2.1 The obligations which the Company is expressed to assume in each English Document constitute its legal,
valid, binding and enforceable obligations.

2.2 If the English Security Document is expressed to create a charge over assets of the Company, that charge
is (subject to its terms) effective to the extent that the assets concerned are beneficially owned by the Company at the time the charge
is created. To the extent they are not, that charge will (subject to its terms) become effective if and when the assets concerned become
beneficially owned by that Company.

2.3 The effectiveness or admissibility in evidence of the English Documents is not dependent on:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any registrations, filings, notarisations or similar actions; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any consents, authorisations, licences or approvals of general application from governmental, judicial
or public bodies.

**Stamp duty on the English Documents**

2.4 No stamp, registration or similar duty or tax is payable in respect of the creation of any English Document.

**Choice of law and jurisdiction**

2.5 The choice of English law to govern the English Documents and any non-contractual obligations connected
to the English Documents is effective.

2.6 The agreement by the Company in an English Document that the English courts have jurisdiction in respect
of that document or any non-contractual obligations connected to that document is effective.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3** | **Scope** |

---

3.1 This opinion and any non-contractual obligations connected with it are governed by English law and are
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

3.2 This opinion is given only in relation to English law as it is understood at the date of this opinion.
We have no duty to keep you informed of subsequent developments which might affect this opinion.

3.3 If a question arises in relation to a cross-border transaction, it may not be the English courts which
decide that question and English law may not be used to settle it.

3.4 We express no opinion on, and have taken no account of, the laws of any jurisdiction other than England.
In particular, we express no opinion on the effect of documents governed by laws other than English law.

3.5 We express no opinion on matters of fact.

3.6 Our opinion is limited to the matters expressly stated in part 2, and it is not to be extended by implication.
In particular, we express no opinion on the accuracy of the assumptions contained in part 4. Each statement which has the effect of limiting
our opinion is independent of any other such statement and is not to be impliedly restricted by it. Paragraph headings are to be ignored
when construing this opinion.

3.7 Our opinion is given solely for the benefit of the Facility Agent and the Lenders from time to time (as
that expression is defined in the Credit Agreement) acting through the Facility Agent. It may not be relied on by any other person other
than BpiFAE (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

3.8 This opinion may not be disclosed to any person other than:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) those persons (such as employees, officers, auditors or regulatory authorities or professional advisors
or insurers or reinsurers or rating agencies) who, in the ordinary course of business of the Facility Agent, the Lenders and BpiFAE, have
access to their papers and records or are entitled by law to see them;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) those persons who are considering becoming Lenders or sub-participants (and their respective professional
advisors);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) those persons in whose favour a Lender charges, assigns or otherwise creates security (or may do so) pursuant
to section 11.11.1 (*Assignments*) of the Credit Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) affiliates of the Facility Agent and the Lenders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) to any persons as required by law or regulation court order or pursuant to the rules or regulations
of any supervisory or regulatory body or any relevant stock exchange;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) to any judicial authority in connection with judicial proceedings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) to the extent required in connection with any actual or potential dispute or claim to which any addressee
or Lender is a party and which relates to the Transaction,

and on the basis that those persons will make no further disclosure.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **4** | **Assumptions** |

---

This opinion is based on the following assumptions:

**Effect of the English Documents**

4.1 Each person which is expressed to be party to the English Documents:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) is duly incorporated and is validly existing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) is not the subject of any insolvency or reorganisation proceedings in any jurisdiction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) has the capacity to execute each English Document to which it is expressed to be a party and to perform
the obligations it is expressed to assume under it;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) has taken all necessary corporate action to authorise it to execute the Novation Agreement (as defined
in the Schedule) and the English Security Document and to perform the obligations it is expressed to assume under the English Documents
to which it is a party; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) has duly executed the Novation Agreement.

4.2 Each of the Novation Agreement and the English Security Document has been or will be executed in the form
provided to us. There has been no variation, waiver or discharge of any of the provisions of the English Documents.

4.3 None of the English Documents is (wholly or in part) void, voidable, unenforceable, ineffective or otherwise
capable of being affected as a result of any vitiating matter (such as mistake, misrepresentation, duress, undue influence, fraud, breach
of directors' duties, illegality or public policy) that is not clear from the terms of the English Documents.

**Security**

4.4 All present or future assets over which the Company purports to create security in the English Security
Document are (or, in the case of future assets, will, when they become subject to the security, be) beneficially owned by the Company
free from all other present or future rights of any kind except to the extent of any encumbrance which the English Security Document concerned
is expressed to rank behind.

4.5 The Company is solvent both on a balance sheet and on a cash-flow basis, and will remain so immediately
after the Transaction has been completed.

**Other facts**

4.6 There are no other facts relevant to this opinion that do not appear from the documents referred to in
part 1.

**Other laws**

4.7 No law of any jurisdiction other than England has any bearing on the opinion contained in part 2.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **5** | **Qualifications** |

---

This opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

**Contractual matters**

5.1 The enforcement of contractual obligations is subject to the general principles of contractual liability,
in particular the matters described in the following paragraphs.

5.2 Apart from claims for the payment of debts (including the repayment of loans), contractual obligations
are normally enforced by an award of damages for the loss suffered as a result of a breach of contract; and recoverable loss is restricted
by principles such as causation, remoteness and mitigation. The specific performance of contractual obligations is a discretionary remedy
and is only available in limited circumstances.

5.3 Contractual obligations can be discharged by matters such as breach of contract or frustration. Claims
may become time-barred or may be subject to defences such as set-off or estoppel.

5.4 The interpretation of the meaning and legal effect of any particular provision of a contract is a matter
of judgment, which will ultimately be determined by the relevant tribunal. In addition, a document may be capable of being rectified if
it does not express the common intention of the parties.

5.5 English law has traditionally been protective of guarantors and has developed a number of defences for
them. Although guarantees generally purport to exclude many of these defences, a guarantee, and any third party security generally, will
be construed in favour of the guarantor or grantor of security where possible.

5.6 A clause in a contract which excludes or limits an obligation of one of the parties or the liability for
breach of that obligation will be construed restrictively, against the person who wishes to rely on it.

5.7 If a provision of a contract is particularly one-sided it is more likely to be construed against the party
who wishes to rely on it.

5.8 A provision of a contract may be ineffective if it is incomplete or uncertain or provides for a matter
to be determined by future agreement.

5.9 A provision of a contract which provides for the conclusive certification or determination of a matter
by one party may not prevent judicial inquiry into the merits of the claim.

5.10 Although the parties to commercial contracts are generally free to agree what they want, this principle
does have limits. For instance, a provision for the payment of a sum in the event of a breach of contract is unenforceable if it is a
penalty, and a provision which prevents the assignment of a receivable may be ineffective.

5.11 A contractual provision for the forfeiture of a proprietary or possessory interest, such as the rights
of a lessee under a chattel lease, may be overridden.

5.12 An undertaking to assume liability for stamp duty or similar taxes may be ineffective.

5.13 As a general principle, an authority or power of attorney can be revoked at any time, and will be revoked
if the donor enters into insolvency proceedings. This is so even if the authority or power is expressed to be irrevocable and the revocation
is therefore made in breach of contract. The main exception to this principle is where the authority or power is granted as part of a
security arrangement.

5.14 A provision of a contract which purports to exclude the effect of prior or subsequent agreements, representations
or waivers may be ineffective.

5.15 A provision of a contract which provides what will happen in the event of an illegality (including a provision
for severance of part of the contract) may not be enforceable.

5.16 An agreement in respect of criminal liability may not be enforceable.

5.17 An indemnity for the costs of litigation may not be enforceable.

 **Security**

to any other rights affecting the assets which are the subject of the security, whether those rights are absolute or by way of security,

In relation to particular types of asset, further steps may be required (such as effecting registrations or giving notices) to protect
the priority of security against claims by third parties.

5.19 To the extent that the English Security Document purports to create a legal (as opposed to an equitable)
interest, there are limits on the availability of such an interest and further steps may be required (such as, in relation to land, registration
at H.M. Land Registry) in order to create one.

rights against third parties, such as contractual rights. To the extent that they do, the security is subject to the terms of those rights
(which may, for instance, prohibit the creation of security) and may be subject to the rights of those third parties (who may, for instance,
have rights of set-off).

5.21 We express no opinion on the effect of the English Security Document to the extent that it relates to
assets which are situated or registered outside England or are governed by a law other than English law.

5.22 A purported fixed charge over an asset will be treated as floating security if the chargee has insufficient
control over it and its proceeds.

5.23 The rights of the holder of floating security over assets to the net proceeds of those assets are subject
to the payment of various other liabilities including preferential debts, certain unsecured debts and the expenses of certain insolvency
proceedings.

5.24 As a general principle, a creditor with security over the whole (or substantially the whole) of the assets
of a company cannot appoint an administrative receiver of the company but, instead, can appoint an administrator.

5.25 A receiver ceases to be the agent of the company over whose assets he has been appointed once that company
goes into liquidation.

5.26 A provision of the English Security Document may be ineffective to the extent that it purports to limit
a Company's right to the return of the charged assets once it has repaid the secured obligations.

**Insolvency**

5.27 The parties' rights are subject to laws affecting creditors' rights generally, such as those
relating to insolvency and reorganisation. These laws can apply to persons incorporated or resident outside England, as well as to those
incorporated or resident in England.

5.28 In particular, on an insolvency:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) contractual and other personal rights will reduce proportionately with all similar rights, and contractual
provisions which would conflict with this principle (such as a pro rata sharing clause) are ineffective;

before the insolvency starts (that period generally being no longer than two years) may be set aside in certain circumstances; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the ability of a secured creditor to enforce its security may be subject to limitations, for instance
in an administration or moratorium.

**Choice of law and jurisdiction**

5.29 The law which governs a contract and any connected non-contractual obligations is not determinative of
all issues which arise in connection with that contract. For instance:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) it may not be relevant to the determination of proprietary issues (such as those relating to security);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) rules which are mandatory (which includes public policy rules) in a jurisdiction which is connected
with the contract or in the jurisdiction where the issue is decided may be applied regardless of the provisions of the contract; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) in insolvency proceedings, the law governing those proceedings may override the law governing the contract.

5.30 There are circumstances in which the English courts may, or must, decline jurisdiction or stay proceedings.
Additionally, it may not be possible to commence proceedings because of an inability to comply with service of process requirements.

5.31 The English courts have a discretion to accept jurisdiction in an appropriate case even though there is
an agreement that other courts have (exclusive or non-exclusive) jurisdiction.

5.32 The jurisdiction of the English courts in relation to insolvency matters is not dependent on the submission
of the parties to the jurisdiction. The precise scope of that jurisdiction depends on the nature of the insolvency procedure in question.

**Sanctions**

5.33 Any provision of a contract which requires a party to comply with the sanctions-related legislation of
a foreign jurisdiction may be unenforceable and unlawful.

| **1** | **Background** |

---

1.1 This opinion is given in relation to the French law aspects of a transaction (the **Transaction**)
by which:

(a) certain banks and financial institutions (the **Lenders**) have agreed to grant to SPV EDGE6 V35 LTD (the **Original Borrower**) a facility of up to [896,800,000.00] Euros pursuant to the terms of a facility agreement dated [●] 2025 made between, *inter alia* [(i) the Borrower, (ii) J.P. MORGAN SE as facility agent (the **Facility Agent**), (iii) Société Générale as security trustee (the **Security Trustee**), (iv) J.P. MORGAN SE as global coordinator, (v) the banks and financial institutions named therein as mandated lead arrangers and (vi) the Lenders] (the **Original Facility Agreement**);

(b) Bpifrance Assurance Export (**Bpifrance Assurance Export**), acting on behalf, in the name and under the control of the French State in accordance with Article L. 432-2 of the French Insurance Code (*Code des assurances*), has issued a buyer credit insurance policy dated [●] 202[●] in connection with the Facility Agreement (the **Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy**);

(c) on [●] 202[●], Bpifrance Assurance Export has issued the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy, initially in connection with the Original Facility Agreement;

(d) by a novation agreement dated [●] 202[●] (as amended from time to time, the **Novation Agreement**), it was agreed that upon delivery of the Vessel (as defined in the Facility Agreement), the Original Facility Agreement would be novated so that the borrower thereunder would become Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (the **New Borrower**) (the Original Facility Agreement, as novated by the Novation Agreement, being referred to herein as the **Facility Agreement**); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy contemplated that upon the delivery of the Vessel (as
defined in the Facility Agreement) and the occurrence of the novation referred to in the preceding paragraph, such Bpifrance Assurance
Export Insurance Policy would continue to cover the Facility Agreement.

We have not been involved in the negotiation, drafting or execution of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy.

1.2 We have acted as French legal advisers to the Facility Agent in relation to the Transaction.

1.3 For the purpose of rendering this opinion we have examined executed copies of the following documents
relating to the Transaction:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) an executed version of the Facility Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) an executed version of the Novation Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) an executed version of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy; [and]

(d) [ a copy of] [a] letter[s] dated [●] 202[●] addressed by Bpifrance Assurance Export to [●], to which is attached the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy with respect to the financing of the Vessel (as defined in the Facility Agreement) in respect of the risks referred to in such letter[s]. The Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy includes the General Terms and Conditions – Credit Institutions (ASC EC 17-01) (*Conditions Générales – Etablissements de Crédit*) (the **General Conditions**) and the Special Terms and Conditions – Credit Institutions – Buyer Credit Cover (ASC EC CA 17-01) (*Conditions Spéciales – Etablissements de Crédit – Garantie d'un Crédit Acheteur*) of Bpifrance Assurance Export (the **Special Conditions**) and pursuant to the particular conditions (*Conditions Particulières*) of the cover dated [●] 202[●] (the **Particular Conditions**). For the purposes of this opinion we have reviewed the text of the General Conditions and the Particular Conditions as published on the website of Bpifrance Assurance Export. The text of the Particular Conditions is not available on the date of this opinion and we have not had an opportunity to review them for the purposes of this opinion.

![](tm2519254d1_ex10-1sp7img03.jpg)

(e) [an amendment to the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy dated [●] (the **Policy Amendment**).] <sup>1</sup>

1.4 For the purposes of this opinion, we have also examined the following documents:

(a) the articles of association (*statuts*) of Bpifrance Assurance Export, marked "*modifiés par décisions de l'associé unique en date du [●]*" (as updated by a decision of the sole shareholder dated [●]) which *statuts* were filed with the *Greffe du Tribunal de commerce* (registrar of the commercial court) of Créteil, France and obtained electronically from the on-line company search service named *Infogreffe* on [●] 202[●] (the **Articles of Association**) ;

(b) a k-bis extract (*Extrait K-bis*) from the *registre du commerce et des sociétés* (trade and companies register) of Créteil, France, relating to Bpifrance Assurance Export obtained electronically from the on-line company search service named *Infogreffe* dated as [●] 202 and as up to date as at [●] 202[●] (the **K-Bis Extract)**;

(c) the non-bankruptcy certificate (*certificat de non-faillite*) issued by the *Greffe* du *Tribunal de commerce* (Registrar of the Commercial Court) of Créteil, France, relating to Bpifrance Assurance Export obtained electronically from the on-line company search service named *Infogreffe* dated as [●] 202[●] and as up to date as at [●] 202[●] (the **Non-Bankruptcy Certificate**);

and such other documents as we have considered it necessary or desirable in order that we may give this opinion. The documents referred to in this paragraph 1.4 above are referred to herein as the **Background Documents**. Except as stated above we have not examined any contracts, instruments or documents entered into by or affecting Bpifrance Assurance Export or any corporate records of Bpifrance Assurance Export and have not made any other enquiries concerning Bpifrance Assurance Export.

1.5 In this Opinion, the Facility Agreement and the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy are collectively
referred to as the **Operative Documents**, and the Operative Documents and the Background Documents are collectively referred to as
the **Documents**. The parties to the Operative Documents are referred to as the **Parties**.

1.6 Our opinions are given in part 2. Part 3 explains their scope, part 4 describes the assumptions on
which they are made and part 5 contains the qualifications to which they are subject.

|:---|:---|
| **2** | **Opinion** |

---

Based on, and subject to, the other provisions of this opinion, and subject to any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:

2.1 Based on our examination of the Background Documents, Bpifrance Assurance Export is a *société par actions simplifiée* validly existing under the laws of France, registered with the Registry of Commerce and Companies of
Créteil under single identification number 815 276 308, having a corporate existence expiring (unless previously extended
or terminated) on 16 December 2114.

2.2 Bpifrance Assurance Export has the power and
legal capacity to enter into the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder ,
acting on behalf, in the name and under the control of the French State.

2.3 Based upon our examination of the K-Bis Extract and the Non-Bankruptcy Certificate, no steps taken to
order the commencement of any *sauvegarde* (safeguard proceedings), *sauvegarde accélérée* (accelerated
safeguard proceedings), *redressement judiciaire* (judicial recovery proceedings), *procédure de traitement de sortie de crise* (judicial simplified recovery proceedings) or *liquidation judiciaire* (judicial liquidation proceedings), over the Seller
were recorded with the *Tribunal de commerce* (Commercial Court) or, where applicable, the *Tribunal Judiciaire* (Judicial Court)
of its place of registration, as at the date of the relevant Non-Bankruptcy Certificates and no *cessation d'activité* (termination
of operations) or *dissolution* (voluntary winding-up) of the Seller was recorded as at the date of the K-Bis Extract.

2.4 The statutory basis for the French State to provide cover in the form of the Bpifrance Assurance Export
Insurance Policy is set forth in Articles 103 et seq. of the Amended Finance Law for 2015 (Law n° 2015-1786 of 29 December 2015),
Decree n° 2016-1701 of 12 December 2016 relating to the granting of the guarantee of the French State for transactions contributing
to the development of foreign commerce of France (*relatif à l'octroi de la garantie de l'Etat pour les opérations concourant au développement du commerce extérieur de la France*) and in Articles L. 432-1 to L. 432-6 and R. 442-2 *et seq*. of the French Insurance Code (*Code des assurances*). The Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy is validly issued
pursuant to such provisions.

2.5 Pursuant to Articles L. 432-1 to L. 432-6 and R. 442-2 *et seq*. of the French Insurance Code (*Code des assurances*), the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy is issued by Bpifrance Assurance Export acting on behalf, in the
name and under the control of the French State (*pour le compte, au nom et sous le contrôle de l'Etat*). Therefore, although
the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy is both issued and administered by Bpifrance Assurance Export, it constitutes as a matter
of law direct obligations of the French State. Pursuant to the aforementioned articles of the French Insurance Code (*Code des assurances*),
the French State is authorised to grant the coverage described in the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy.

2.6 The claims of the policyholder against Bpifrance Assurance Export acting on behalf, in the name and under
the control of the French State and against the French State under the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy will rank at least *pari passu* with the claims of all other creditors of Bpifrance Assurance Export acting on behalf, in the name and under the control
of the French State under the insurance policies issued by Bpifrance Assurance Export acting on behalf, in the name and under the control
of the French State in accordance with Articles L. 432-1 to L. 432-6 and R. 442-2 *et seq*. of the French Insurance Code (*Code des assurances*), except (in the case of Bpifrance Assurance Export) for such claims as are preferred under the laws of the French
Republic.

2.7 The Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy, creates legal (*licite*), valid (*valable*)
and binding (*ayant force obligatoire*) obligations of the French State, entered into by Bpifrance Assurance Export acting on behalf,
in the name and under the control of the French State, and is enforceable (*opposable*) against the French State in accordance with
its terms.

2.8 There are no governmental or regulatory consents, approvals, licence, authorisations or order to ensure
the validity (*validité*), binding effect (*force obligatoire*) and enforceability (*opposabilité*) of the
Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy, other than that referred to in paragraph 4.21 hereof.

![](tm2519254d1_ex10-1sp7img03.jpg)

2.9 In order to ensure the validity (*validité*), binding effect (*force obligatoire*) and

it is not required under the laws or practice of the French Republic that the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy or any other
document be notarised, filed with, or recorded or registered in any public office or elsewhere in the French Republic.

2.10 Under French law, Bpifrance Assurance Export is subject to private commercial law and to suit, and neither
Bpifrance Assurance Export nor any of its property or assets has immunity from the jurisdiction of any court or any legal process (whether
through service of notice, attachment prior to notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise),
except that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) to the extent that Bpifrance Assurance Export occupies or possesses any property by virtue of any licence
or other grant from the French State, such property and the title of Bpifrance Assurance Export thereto may be immune from suit or execution
on the grounds of sovereignty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) to the extent that Bpifrance Assurance Export owns assets which are necessary to exercise its mission
of provider of public services (*mission de service public*), such assets and the title of Bpifrance Assurance Export thereto may
be immune from suit or execution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) suit and execution against Bpifrance Assurance Export's assets or properties may be affected by
action taken by the French Republic authorities in the interests of national defence or on the occurrence of exceptional circumstances
of paramount importance to the national interest of the French Republic, as such concept is understood under the Constitution, laws and
regulations of the French Republic.

2.11 While there is no express waiver by the French
State of immunity from jurisdiction set forth in the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy, we are of the opinion that Article 20
of the General Terms and Conditions-Credit Institutions (ASC EC 17-01) (*Conditions Générales – Etablissements de Crédit*) applicable to the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy, by providing that any disputes that may arise in connection
with the application of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy shall be submitted to the jurisdiction of the relevant courts
in Paris, constitutes an implied and valid waiver of any such immunity from jurisdiction. The language employed in such Article 20
provides that "Any disputes that may arise in connection with the application of the policy shall be submitted to the jurisdiction
of the relevant courts in Paris" without specifying whether the general judicial courts or the administrative courts are the competent
courts. While there is to our knowledge no definitive answer to such question, we are of the view that the judicial courts (*ordre judiciaire*)
would be the competent courts. This is based both on our prior experience and on the fact that, although the French State is the party
responsible for payment under the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy, it has designated Bpifrance Assurance Export, which is
a commercial company, to act as its agent for the purposes of administering the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy. The
French State is normally represented by the *Agent judiciaire de l'Etat* before relevant courts of Paris (*ordre judiciaire*).

2.12 Under the laws of the French Republic, the French
State is subject to French public law and benefits from sovereign immunity over its property or assets, within the meaning of the relevant
administrative case law (*jurisprudence administrative*) and as codified in the French Code of Property of Public Persons
(*Code Général de Propriété des Personnes Publiques*).

2.13 The execution, delivery and performance of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy will not violate,
conflict or exceed (i) Bpifrance Assurance Export's or the French State's powers or statute, or (ii) any provision
of applicable law or regulation to which Bpifrance Assurance Export or the French State is subject.

2.14 The choice by the Parties of French law to govern
the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy is effective and would be recognised and upheld as a valid choice of law by the
French courts in any proceedings in the courts of France and applied by such courts in proceedings in relation to the Bpifrance Assurance
Export Documents as the governing law thereof.

2.15 The agreement by Bpifrance Assurance Export in the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy that the
French courts have jurisdiction in respect of those documents is effective and would be recognised and upheld as a valid choice of law
in any proceedings in the courts of France and applied by such courts in proceedings in relation to the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance
Policy as the governing law thereof.

![](tm2519254d1_ex10-1sp7img03.jpg)

2.16 Bpifrance Assurance Export has duly executed the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy in the name,
on behalf of and under the control of the French State.

2.17 No stamp duty, registration fee or duty or similar taxes and charges are payable in France in connection
with the signing or enforceability of the obligations under the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy.

2.18 No party to the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy will be deemed to be domiciled in or to carry
on business in the French Republic solely by virtue only of the execution of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy.

2.19 There is no provision in the Facility Agreement which contravenes or conflicts with any provision of the
Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy in a manner such as to jeopardise the insurance cover contemplated thereunder.

| **3** | **Scope** |

---

3.1 This opinion and any non-contractual obligations connected with it are governed by French law and are
subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the *Tribunal judiciaire* (judicial court) of Paris.

3.2 This opinion is given only in relation to French law as it is understood at the date of this opinion.
We have no duty to keep you informed of subsequent developments which might affect this opinion.

3.3 We express no opinion on, and have taken no account of, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction
of the French Republic.

3.4 If a question arises in relation to a cross-border transaction, it may not be the French courts which
decide that question and French law may not be used to settle it.

3.5 We express no opinion on matters of fact.

3.6 Our opinion is limited to the matters expressly stated in part 2, and it is not to be extended by implication.
In particular, we express no opinion on the accuracy of the assumptions contained in part 4 or as to whether the terms of the Operative
Documents are adequate to fulfil the commercial intentions of the Parties with respect thereto. Each statement which has the effect of
limiting our opinion is independent of any other such statement and is not to be impliedly restricted by it. Paragraph headings are to
be ignored when construing this opinion.

3.7 Our opinion is given solely for the benefit of the Facility Agent and the Lenders (as that expression
is defined in the Facility Agreement) acting through the Facility Agent.

3.8 This opinion may not be disclosed to any person other than:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) those persons (such as employees, officers, auditors
or regulatory authorities or professional advisors or insurers or reinsurers or rating agencies) who, in the ordinary course of
business of the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee, the Lenders and their respective affiliates, have access to their papers and records
or are entitled by law to see them or any relevant stock exchange; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) those persons who are considering becoming Lenders and/or sub-participants (and their respective professional
advisors);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) those persons in whose favour a Lender charges, assigns or otherwise creates security (or may do so) pursuant

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) affiliates of the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee and the Lenders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e) to any judicial authority in connection with judicial proceedings and any persons as required by law or
regulation, court order or pursuant to the rules or regulations of any supervisory or regulatory body or any relevant stock exchange;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f) to the extent required in connection with any actual dispute or claim to which any Addressee or any other
Lender is a party and which relates to the Operative Documents,

and on the basis that those persons will make no further disclosure and are not entitled to rely thereon.

|:---|:---|
| **4** | **Assumptions** |

---

For the purpose of this opinion, we have assumed, without making any independent investigation in relation thereto:

4.1 the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all
signatures, stamps and seals on the originals of all copy documents delivered to us and the completeness and conformity to original documents
of all copies or photocopies furnished to us;

**[** **Electronic signature**

4.2 that the manner of signature of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy by means of an "Adobe
Acrobate Reader process" signature or a "copy-pasted" signature on the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy together
with an accompanying note attached to the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy confirming that Bpifrance Assurance Export has validly
and conscientiously signed the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy and agreed that by this signature, Bpifrance Assurance Export
intents to be bound by the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy will be considered by a French court as a satisfactory evidence
of the agreement of the Parties to the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy. The question as to whether it can be evidenced that
a document has been validly entered into between Parties is question of fact. Evidence of such a fact may be provided with a "*commencement de preuve par écrit*" (written evidence) as defined within article 1362 of French Civil Code (*Code civil*). Whether
a document constitutes a "*commencement de preuve par écrit*" is a question of fact which may ultimately be assessed
and decided by a French court. We note however, that a French court may also take into consideration that pursuant to article 1358 of
French Civil Code (*Code civil*) and article L.110-3 of the French Commercial Code (*Code de commerce*), in a commercial transaction
between commercial Parties (as is the case with the entry into the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy), the mode of evidence
that an agreement has been validly entered into is free. **]** <sup>2</sup>

**[** **Electronic signature**

4.3 The electronic signature of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy has been effected pursuant
to an electronic signature process in accordance with applicable regulations and, in particular, European regulation (EU) 910/2014 on
electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market of 23 July 2014 (the eIDAS Regulation),
and any such Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy is created and stored in conditions that will guarantee its integrity within
the meaning of article 1366 of the French Civil Code (*Code civil*).

For the purposes of this paragraph:

"**executed**" means, in relation to the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy executed with an electronic signature, the process by which the signatory has applied his or her electronic signature to such Operative Document; and

4.4 "**electronic signature**" means a signature in electronic form applied to the Bpifrance
Assurance Export Insurance Policy that is intended by the signatory to take effect as his or her signature including, without limitation,

**[** **Wet ink**

4.5 each of Bpifrance Assurance Export and the Facility Agent (acting on behalf of the Lenders) will have
possession of an original of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy duly signed by or on behalf of each of the other Parties
thereto. **]** <sup>4</sup>

3 [***NRF Paris note : if the policy/amendment has been signed using a certified electronic signature platform such a DocuSign***]

4 [***NRF Paris note: if the policy/amendment is signed wet-ink***]

![](tm2519254d1_ex10-1sp7img03.jpg)

4.6 to the extent that the ability of Bpifrance Assurance Export or of its representatives to enter into the
Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy or perform its obligations thereunder requires the determination of a matter of fact, that
requirement has been complied with;

4.7 the due authorisation, execution and delivery by the Parties thereto of the Operative Documents other
than Bpifrance Assurance Export and we refer you in such respect to the opinions being delivered to you in respect of such matters on
the date hereof;

4.8 that the Documents are complete, accurate and up-to-date and have not been revoked, amended, superseded
or varied, in whole or in part;

4.9 that each party to the Operative Documents, other than Bpifrance Assurance Export, is duly incorporated
and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation;

4.10 that each of the Bpifrance Assurance Export
insured parties to the Facility Agreement will at all relevant times observe its duties towards Bpifrance Assurance Export set forth in **[** the Bpifrance Assurance Export *Promesse[s] de Garantie* and] <sup>5</sup> the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy, including without limitation, the payment on a timely of the premium due to Bpifrance
Assurance Export thereunder;

4.11 that, in so far as is relevant to the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy, the Facility Agreement
and the other Finance Documents represent and contain the entirety of the transaction entered into between the Parties thereto with respect
to the subject matter thereof and the absence of any other arrangements between any of the Parties to the Facility Agreement and any declaration
or act which modify, supplement or supersede any of the terms of the Facility Agreement, which have not been disclosed and approved by
Bpifrance Assurance Export;

4.12 the truth, accuracy and completeness, at all relevant times, of each of the representations or other statements
of matters of fact contained in the Operative Documents (or any other document to be issued in connection with the Operative Documents)
in relation to each of the respective Parties thereto and that all of the representations and warranties given by any of the Parties to
the Facility Agreement are, and will be, when made or repeated or when deemed made or repeated (as the case may be) are true and accurate;

4.13 that the representations made and the information made available by you and any lender under the Facility
Agreement to Bpifrance Assurance Export in the application, and the additional information provided to Bpifrance Assurance Export by any
of such Parties in correspondence with Bpifrance Assurance Export following the application and preceding the issuance of the Bpifrance
Assurance Export Insurance Policy are true, complete, not misleading and up-to-date and consistent with the Facility Agreement and that
Bpifrance Assurance Export has been given full disclosure, in writing, of the structure of the Transaction and that each of such Parties
have observed at all times their duties towards Bpifrance Assurance Export, in particular:

by the application for support or new information which differs from that given in the application for support and which become known

4.17 that, insofar as any obligation of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy falls to be performed
in, or is otherwise affected by, the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of France, its performance would not be illegal or ineffective

and up to date as at the date hereof;

4.19 that the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy is issued by Bpifrance Assurance Export acting on

4.23 that the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy does not constitute state aid (as contemplated under
article 87 of the European Community Treaty) (i.e. do not have the effect of distorting or threatening to distort competition in trade
between Member States). However, we are of the view that the risk that the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy constitutes prohibited
state aid is remote and that, even if it were found to constitute prohibited state aid, it is likely that the consequences would be limited
to an adjustment of the financial charges applicable to the Facility Agreement but would not affect the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance
Policy;

4.24 that there are no other facts relevant to this opinion that do not appear from the Operative Documents;
and

4.25 that no law of any jurisdiction other than France has any bearing on the opinion contained in part 2.

| **5** | **Qualifications** |

---

This opinion must be read subject to the following qualifications and observations as to French law:

5.1 although the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy is stated on its face to be a *police d'assurance* (insurance policy), the *conditions générales* with respect thereto state that, with certain exceptions, the provisions
of the French Insurance Code (*Code des assurances*) do not apply to such Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy and that it
is instead subject to general contract law (*le droit commun des contrats*). Consequently, we express no opinion as to whether it
constitutes "insurance" in accordance with the French Insurance Code (*Code des assurances*). However, we reiterate our
opinion in paragraph 2.6 as to the legal, valid, binding and enforceable effect of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy;

5.2 the exercise of rights under the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy is subject to satisfaction
of all relevant conditions of effectiveness under the terms thereof and to compliance by the beneficiary with such rights of its own obligations
as set forth in such Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy, and failure to comply with such obligations may entitle the French State
in certain circumstances to be released from its obligation to indemnify for the losses covered therein vis-à-vis such beneficiary;

5.3 the Background Documents are not conclusive about the status of Bpifrance Assurance Export. For example,
the *Registre du Commerce et des Sociétés* (Registry of Commerce and Companies) is reliant on third parties to provide
them with information; and there will be a time-lag between the occurrence of an event (such as insolvency) and its notification to, and
subsequent appearance at, the Registry of Commerce and Companies. Additionally, the Registry of Commerce and Companies does not exhaustively
record all material events which may affect a company (however, this would not affect the status of the French State as the entity responsible
for the cover provided under the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy);

5.4 the enforcement of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, or similar arrangements, or by moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
insofar as it is issued by Bpifrance Assurance Export; however, we point out in this respect that Bpifrance Assurance Export is in this
instance acting on behalf, in the name and under the control of the French State and that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) pursuant to Article L. 432-4 of the French Insurance Code (*Code des assurances*), Bpifrance
Assurance Export acting on behalf, in the name and under the control of the French State establishes a separate and distinct accounting
for transactions which it concludes with the guarantee of the French State; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) in accordance with Articles L. 432-1 and L. 432-2 of the French Insurance Code (*Code des assurances*),
the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy constitutes direct obligations of the French State;

5.5 a French court has the power under article 1343-5 of the French Civil Code (*Code civil*) to postpone
or spread over time the payment of the sums due for a period not in excess of two years, taking into account the situation of the debtor
and the needs of the creditor. In such case, the court may also provide separately that any payments which are postponed will bear interest
at a reduced rate (but not less than the legal minimum rate), or that payments will initially be allocated to principal rather than interest.
The court may require as a condition to such decision that the debtor accomplish certain acts in order to facilitate or guarantee the
payment of the debt. A decision of a court made pursuant to article 1343-5 of the French Civil Code (*Code civil*) suspends any procedures
for enforcement which have been commenced by the creditor, and any default interest or penalties incurred due to late payments cease to
be due during the period fixed by the court. Any contractual stipulation to the contrary will not be effective. Article 1343-5 of
the French Civil Code (*Code civil*) is a rule of general application and therefore will probably apply to Bpifrance Assurance
Export, as a private company, since there is no specific exception provided by law or decision of the French courts in relation to article
1343-5 of the French Civil Code (*Code civil*). However, the position of the French State, as the direct obligor in respect of the
Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy, would in our view not qualify for rescheduling of the debts;

![](tm2519254d1_ex10-1sp7img03.jpg)

5.6 the enforcement under French law or before a French court of provisions of any of the Operative Documents
concerning damages and indemnification could be limited by application of all or part of the provisions of articles 1231 *et seq*.
of the French Civil Code (*Code civil*) pertaining to damages and indemnification in contractual matters (in particular, but without
limitation, article 1231-5 of the French Civil Code (*Code civil*), under which, where an agreement provides for liquidated damages
or a penalty or an increase in the interest rate of a loan arising as a result of a breach of contract, the court may limit the amount
of payments due under the relevant provision if it considers it clearly insufficient or excessive in regards to the actual loss suffered
by the party not in breach or, where an obligation is performed in part, may reduce such amount in proportion to the benefit which such
partial performance conferred on the beneficiary of the obligation);

5.7 French courts may, if requested, render a judgement in the foreign currency in which a debt is expressed
if such debt arises under an international contract or a foreign judgement. However, if a judgement awarded by a French court were to
be expressed in Euro, it would normally be expressed by reference to the exchange value of the relevant amount of the said foreign currency
at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the judgement or, if the court so decides at the claimant's request, at the actual date
of payment;

5.8 in the event of any proceedings being brought in a French court in respect of a monetary obligation expressed
to be payable in a currency other than euros, a French court would probably give judgement expressed as an order to pay, not such currency,
but its euro equivalent at the time of payment or enforcement of judgement. With respect to a bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium,
reorganisation, reconstruction or similar proceedings, French law may require that all claims or debts be converted into euros at an exchange
rate determined by the court at a date related thereto, such as the date of commencement of a winding-up;

5.9 a determination or certificate as to any matter provided for in the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance
Policy might be held by a French court not to be final, conclusive or binding, if such determination or certificate could be shown to
have an unreasonable, incorrect or arbitrary basis or not to have been given or made in good faith;

5.10 claims may become barred by effluxion of time or may be or become subject to defence of set-off or counterclaim;

5.11 a French court may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere;

5.12 to the extent that this legal opinion addresses French legal concepts in the English language and not
in their original French terms, such translations may not comprehensively cover the meaning of such legal concepts under French law. This
opinion may, therefore, only be relied upon under the express condition that any issues of interpretation arising thereunder will be governed
by French law and be brought before a French court;

5.13 other than as set out in paragraph 2.17, we do not express any opinion as to any taxation, public procurement
law or economic competition law matters;

5.14 our opinion as to the enforceability of the Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy relates only to
its enforceability under French law in circumstances where the competent French court has and accepts jurisdiction; the term "enforceable"
refers to the legal character of the obligations assumed by the Parties under such Bpifrance Assurance Export Insurance Policy, i.e. that
it is of a character which French law generally enforces or recognises; furthermore, and with respect to the Bpifrance Assurance Export
Insurance Policy which is expressed to be governed by French law, pursuant to the French Civil Code (*Code civil*), the reliance
on or the enforcement of contractual terms and conditions may under certain circumstances be contrary to an overriding principle of good
faith or to the principle that rights must not be exercised unreasonably (principle of *abus de droit*) ; and this opinion is based
upon the laws, and published judicial and administrative decisions as of the date hereof, which are subject to any amendment, repeal or
other modification of the applicable laws or judicial or administrative decisions hereafter enacted or rendered, and

5.15 the law which governs a contract and any connected non-contractual obligations is not determinative of
all issues which arise in connection with that contract. For instance:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the law in force where an asset is located may be applicable to issues of ownership of, or security granted
over, such asset;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) rules which are mandatory (which includes public policy rules) in a jurisdiction which is connected
with the contract or in the jurisdiction where the issue is decided may be applied regardless of the provisions of the contract; and

![](tm2519254d1_ex10-1sp7img03.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) in insolvency proceedings, the law governing those proceedings may override the law governing the contract;

5.16 There are circumstances in which the French courts may, or must, decline jurisdiction or stay proceedings.
Additionally, it may not be possible to commence proceedings because of an inability to comply with service of process requirements. These
problems are less likely to occur where the parties to an agreement (regardless of the domicile of such parties) have expressly agreed
that the French courts will have jurisdiction to settle any disputes which have arisen or which may arise in connection with a particular
legal relationship, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Brussels I Regulation (Recast).

**[** **Electronic signature**

5.17 An electronic signature constituting a qualified electronic signature under the eIDAS Regulation will
be presumed to be reliable pursuant to article 1367 of the French Civil Code (*Code civil*) and decree n°2017-1416 of 28 September 2017
and pursuant to article 288-1 of the French Code of civil procedure, the burden of proving that the signature is not reliable will fall
on the person who challenges the signature. Such presumption of reliability does not apply to an electronic signature which does not constitute
a qualified electronic signature under the eIDAS Regulation (including but not limited to signatures which are advanced electronic signatures
under the eIDAS Regulation). As a result, the burden of proving that such electronic signatures (other than qualified electronic signatures)
are reliable falls on the person claiming as such. Courts will have a discretionary power to decide whether or not such electronic signatures
evidences the consent by the purported signatory to the relevant document, such question being a question of fact. ] <sup>7</sup>

Re: Application of U.S. Withholding Tax to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Payments

Dear Sirs:

You have asked whether U.S. withholding tax will be imposed on payments made by the U.S. branch of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. ("**RCCL**"), a corporation organized under the laws of Liberia, to any of the Lenders, under the Hull No. V35 Credit Agreement dated [●] 2025 as novated, amended and restated on the Actual Delivery Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below)) pursuant to a novation agreement dated [●] (as supplemented, amended and restated from time to time (together the "**Credit Agreement**") between, amongst others, RCCL as Borrower, the Lenders, [and] J.P. Morgan SE as Global Coordinator and Facility Agent and J.P. Morgan SE, Banco Bilboa Vizcaya Argentaria S.A., Paris Branch, Caixabank[, S.A.], HSBC Continental Europe, Banco Santander[,] S.A. and Société Générale as Mandated Lead Arrangers.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Lenders would severally lend money to RCCL to help fund the purchase of Hull No. V35 at Chantiers de l'Atlantique S.A.

The loan advanced under the Credit Agreement will accrue interest at either a fixed rate or a floating rate in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with rendering this opinion we have reviewed the Credit Agreement and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of rendering this opinion. We have assumed, with your consent, that: (i) all documents reviewed by us are original documents, or true and accurate copies of original documents, and have not been subsequently amended; (ii) the signatures on each original document are genuine; (iii) all representations and statements as to matters of fact set forth in such documents are true and correct; (iv) all obligations imposed by any such documents on the parties thereto have been or will be performed or satisfied in accordance with their terms; and (v) there are no documents relevant to this opinion to which we have not been given access.

As used in this opinion letter, references to a Lender do not include any successor or assign of such Lender. We have assumed, with your consent, that each Lender that is a non-U.S. person will be claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty between the United States and the jurisdiction associated with its name in the Appendix hereto (each a "**Treaty Lender**"). We have also assumed, with your consent, that in relation to each Treaty Lender:

**CLIFFORD CHANCE US LLP**

(i) the relevant Treaty Lender is and will continue to be eligible to claim benefits as a resident of the jurisdiction in which it was formed under the income tax treaty between the United States and such jurisdiction currently in force (each a "**Treaty**");

(ii) the relevant Treaty Lender will not receive payments under the Credit Agreement that are attributable, for purposes of the Treaty, to a permanent establishment of the relevant Treaty Lender in the United States;

(iii) the relevant Treaty Lender has not made and will not make an election, or otherwise take steps, to be treated as other than a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes;

(iv) the relevant Treaty Lender has provided RCCL or its agent with a properly completed Internal Revenue Service ("**IRS**") Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as appropriate, accurately representing that the relevant Treaty Lender is eligible to claim benefits under a Treaty for all payments under the Credit Agreement;

(v) if the relevant Treaty Lender is receiving payments on behalf of a different party that is the beneficial owner of such payments, it has provided RCCL with a properly completed IRS Form W-8IMY to which it attached its own IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as appropriate, and a properly completed IRS Form from each other beneficial owner accurately representing that such beneficial owner is entitled to receive all payments under the Credit Agreement free and clear of U.S. withholding;

(vi) the relevant Treaty Lender will be eligible to receive payments free of withholding under the provisions of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code ("**FATCA**") and will provide RCCL or its agent with such properly completed IRS forms, certifications and other items as may be required to establish such Lender's exemption from withholding under FATCA; and

(vii) all of the foregoing will, in relation to the relevant Treaty Lender, continue to be accurate and correct.

**CLIFFORD CHANCE US LLP**

<u>Conclusion</u>

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York. This opinion is limited to the U.S. federal withholding tax treatment of payments by RCCL under the Credit Agreement and does not address any other tax or legal consequences of the transactions contemplated in the Credit Agreement. This opinion is rendered solely to the Facility Agent for the benefit of itself and the other Lenders listed in the Appendix hereto and may not be relied upon by any other person, other than the Facility Agent's and those other Lenders' respective legal advisors. Our opinion is based on existing authorities as of the date hereof and may change as a result of subsequent legislation, regulations, administrative pronouncements, court opinions or other legal developments, possibly with retroactive effect. We do not undertake to update this opinion based on any such developments unless specifically engaged by the Facility Agent on behalf of itself or any other Lender to do so. Our opinion is not binding on the IRS, and no assurance can be given that the conclusions expressed herein will not be challenged by the IRS or will be sustained by a court.

Based on the assumptions and limitations set forth above, we are of the view that there will be no U.S. federal withholding tax imposed on payments by RCCL under the Credit Agreement to any Treaty Lender. Payments to non-U.S. persons that are not considered to be U.S. source income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, generally are not subject to U.S. withholding tax. Payments by RCCL under the Credit Agreement to any Treaty Lender, to the extent they are U.S. source income, will be exempt from U.S. withholding tax either under the Interest, Business Profits or Other Income Articles of the relevant Treaty. Should any of the said assumptions set forth above with respect to a Lender be invalid or cease to be valid in relation to a Lender, that Lender shall not be entitled to rely upon this opinion.

Our conclusions are expressions of our professional judgment with respect to U.S. federal income tax law and do not provide any guarantee as to the actual outcome of any U.S. federal income tax controversy.

Sincerely,

**CLIFFORD CHANCE US LLP**

| **3** | **Unavailability of Term SOFR** |

---

3.1 *Interpolated Term SOFR:* If no Term SOFR is available for the Interest Period of the Floating Rate
Loan or any part of the Floating Rate Loan, the applicable Reference Rate shall be the Interpolated Term SOFR for a period equal in length
to the Interest Period of the Floating Rate Loan or that part of the Floating Rate Loan.

3.2 *Historic Term SOFR:* If clause 3.1 above applies but it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated
Term SOFR, the applicable Reference Rate shall be the Historic Term SOFR for the Floating Rate Loan or that part of the Floating Rate
Loan.

3.3 *Interpolated Historic Term SOFR:* If clause 3.2 above applies but no Historic Term SOFR is available

Historic Term SOFR for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of the Floating Rate Loan or that part of the Floating Rate Loan.

3.4 *Compounded in Arrears:* If clause 3.3 above applies but it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated
Historic Term SOFR for the Interest Period of the Floating Rate Loan then the Reference Rate shall not apply for the Floating Rate Loan
or that part of the Floating Rate Loan (as applicable) and instead interest shall be determined by reference to the Compounded Reference
Rate and the provisions of clause 4 will apply in respect of the Floating Rate Loan or the relevant part of the Floating Rate Loan (as
applicable).

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **4** | **Determination of the Compounded Reference Rate** |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **5** | **Notification of the rates of interest** |

---

5.1 Subject to clause 5.2, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the determination
of a rate of interest relating to the Floating Rate Loan (or any part of it).

5.2 If the Compounded Reference Rate is to apply to the Floating Rate Loan (or any part of it) in accordance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Borrower of the amount of
the Compounded Reference Rate Interest Payment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the relevant Lenders and the Borrower of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) each applicable rate of interest relating to the determination of that Compounded Reference Rate Interest
Payment; and

| **6** | **Market disruption** |

---

6.1 If:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Compounded Reference Rate applies (or, pursuant to clause 3.4, is to apply) to the Floating Rate Loan
for an Interest Period and by reason of circumstances affecting the Lenders' relevant markets, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining
the Floating Rate by the Reporting Time for that Interest Period; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) before the Reporting Time (in the case of the Compounded Reference Rate) or, in the case of the Reference
Rate, by close of business in London on the Quotation Day, in each case for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives
notifications from a Lender or Lenders, whose participations in the Floating Rate Loan (or the relevant part of it) exceed 50% of the
outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Loan (or the relevant part of it) that the cost to it of funding its participation
in the Floating Rate Loan (or the relevant part of it) would be in excess of the Market Disruption Rate,

then the Facility Agent shall give notice of such determination (a **Determination Notice**) to the Borrower and each of the Lenders.

6.2 If:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Determination Notice relates to the Reference Rate, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Facility Agent
shall then negotiate in good faith in order to agree upon a mutually satisfactory interest rate and interest period (or interest periods)
to be substituted for those which would otherwise have applied to the Floating Rate Loan (or the relevant part of it) under the Agreement.
If the Borrower, the Lenders and the Facility Agent are unable to agree upon an interest rate (or rates) and interest period (or interest
periods) prior to the date occurring thirty (30) Business Days after the giving of such Determination Notice, clause 6.3 shall apply;
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Determination Notice relates to the Compounded Reference Rate, there shall be no negotiation period
of the type referred to in paragraph (a) above and instead clause 6.3 shall automatically apply.

6.3 If this clause 6.3 applies, the Facility Agent shall (after consultation with the Lenders) set an interest
rate and an interest period (or interest periods), in each case to take effect at the end of the Interest Period current at the date of
the Determination Notice, which shall be equal to the sum of the applicable Floating Rate Margin and the lower of (a) the average
of the corresponding interest rates at or about 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Business Days before the commencement of the
relevant Interest Period on Thomson Reuters' pages KLIEMMM, GARBIC01 and FINA01 (or such other pages as may replace Thomson
Reuters' pages KLIEMMM, GARBIC01 or FINA01 on Thomson Reuters' service) and (b) the weighted average of the cost to the Lenders
of funding the portion of the Floating Rate Loan (or the relevant part of it) held by such Lenders, provided that if any Lender fails
to provide its relevant cost of funding by the Reporting Time or by close of business on the Quotation Day (as applicable) for the relevant
Interest Period then that weighted average shall be calculated on the basis of the cost of funding submitted by each of the remaining
Lenders.

6.4 It is acknowledged and agreed that no Lender shall be entitled to make a notification referred to in clause
6.1(b) in respect of, or to compensation under clause 6.3 for, amounts up to the difference between such Lender's cost of obtaining
matching deposits on the date such Lender became a Lender hereunder less the Reference Rate on such date or, if on such date the Floating
Rate is determined pursuant to clause 4, the Compounded Reference Rate for the Interest Period in which such date occurs

6.5 If, in relation to the Floating Rate Loan (or any part of it):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a Lender's Funding Rate is less than the relevant Market Disruption Rate; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a Lender does not supply a quotation by the Reporting Time or by close of business on the Quotation Day
(as applicable) for the relevant Interest Period,

the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Floating Rate Loan for that Interest Period will be deemed, for the purposes of this clause 6, to be the Market Disruption Rate for that Floating Rate Loan.

7.1 If a Published Rate Replacement
Event occurs in relation to any Published Rate, any amendment or waiver which relates to

be determined on the basis of that designation, nomination or recommendation),

may be made with the consent of the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower.

7.2 If any Lender fails to
respond to a request for an amendment or waiver described in, or for any other vote of Lenders in relation to, clause 7.1 above within
5 Business Days (or such longer time period in relation to any request which the Borrower and the Facility Agent may agree) of that request
being made:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) its Commitment or its participation in the Loan shall not be included for the purpose of ascertaining
whether any relevant percentage of Commitments or the aggregate of participations in the Loan (as applicable) has been obtained to approve
that request; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) its status as a Lender shall be disregarded for the purpose of ascertaining whether the agreement of any
