	2.3	 Interests several 

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement (but without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement relating to or requiring action by
the Majority Lenders) the interests of the Banks are several and the amount due to any Bank is a separate and independent debt. Each Bank shall have the right to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be
necessary for any other Bank to be joined as an additional party in any Proceedings for this purpose. 
  

	2.4	 Drawdown 

  

	2.4.1	 On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Advance shall be advanced to the Borrowers
on the Drawdown Date following receipt by the Agent from the Borrowers of the Drawdown Notice not later than 10 a.m. on the third Banking Day before the proposed Drawdown Date. 

 

	2.4.2	 The Drawdown Notice shall be effective on actual receipt by the Agent and, once given, shall, subject as
provided in clause 3.6, be irrevocable. 

  

	2.5	 Limitation and application of Advances 

 

	2.5.1	 Subject to clauses 5.2.2 and 5.3.3, the principal amount specified in the Drawdown Notice for borrowing on the
Drawdown Date shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement be: 

  

	 	(a)	 in respect of Advance A, USD4,472,100; 

 

	 	(b)	 in respect of Advance B, USD4,507,400; 

 

	 	(c)	 in respect of Advance C, USD4,096,400; and 

  
 22 

	 	(d)	 in respect of Advance D, USD3,924,100, 

 

	2.5.2	 The amount of each Advance shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the relevant maximum amount available under
such Advance and (ii) 55% of the Valuation Amount of the relevant Vessel as at the Drawdown Date and the amount of the Loan shall not exceed the lesser of (i) seventeen million Dollars (USD 17,000,000) and (ii) 55% of the aggregate of
the Valuation Amount of the Vessels as at the final Drawdown Date. 

  

	2.5.3	 Each Advance shall be paid forthwith upon drawdown to such account or accounts as the Borrowers shall stipulate
in the Drawdown Notice. 

  

	2.6	 Availability 

Upon receipt of the Drawdown Notice complying with the terms of this Agreement, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and each Lender
shall make available to the Agent its portion of the relevant Advance for payment by the Agent in accordance with clause 6.2. The Borrowers acknowledge that payment of any Advance to the account referred to in the Drawdown Notice shall satisfy the
obligation of the Lenders to lend that Advance to the Borrowers under this Agreement. 
  

	2.7	 Voluntary cancellation of Facility 

The Borrowers may, without penalty or cost but after payment of any Break Costs, at any time during the Drawdown Period by notice to the Agent
(effective only on actual receipt) cancel with effect from a date not less than three (3) Banking Days after the receipt by the Agent of such notice the whole or any part of the Total Commitment. Any such notice of cancellation, once given,
shall be irrevocable and the Total Commitment shall be reduced accordingly and each Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced pro rata according to the proportion which its Commitment bears to the Total Commitment. 

 

	2.8	 Cancellation in changed circumstances 

The Borrowers may also at any time during the Facility Period by notice to the Agent (effective only on actual receipt) prepay and cancel with
effect from a date not less than three (3) days after receipt by the Agent of such notice, the whole but not part only, but without prejudice to the Borrowers’ obligations under clauses 6.6 and 12, of the Contribution and Commitment (if
any) of any Lender to which the Borrowers shall have become obliged to pay additional amounts under clause 12 or clause 6.6. Upon any notice of such prepayment and cancellation being given, the Commitment of the relevant Lender shall be reduced to
zero, the Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay the Contribution of such Lender and such Lender’s related costs (including but not limited to Break Costs) on such date and such Lender shall be under no obligation to participate in the Loan or
any further Advances. 
  

	2.9	 Cancellation 

If any part of the Loan is not drawn down by the end of the Drawdown Period, the Commitment shall thereupon be automatically cancelled and the
Lenders shall have no further obligation under this Agreement. 

  
 23 

	2.10	 Use of proceeds 

Without prejudice to the Borrowers’ obligations under clause 8.1.4, no Bank shall have any responsibility for the application of the
proceeds of any Advance or any part thereof by the Borrowers. 
  

	3	 INTEREST AND INTEREST PERIODS 

 

	3.1	 Normal interest rate 

The Borrowers agree to pay interest on each Advance or part thereof in respect of each Interest Period relating thereto on each Interest
Payment Date (or, in the case of Interest Periods of more than three (3) months, by instalments, the first of such instalments three (3) months from the commencement of the Interest Period and the subsequent instalments at intervals of
three (3) months and on the last day of such Interest Period) at the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be the aggregate of (a) the Margin in respect of that Advance, (b) LIBOR for such period and (c) Mandatory Cost (if
any). 
  

	3.2	 Selection of Interest Periods 

The Borrowers may by notice received by the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the second Banking Day before the beginning of each Interest
Period request that such Interest Period shall have a length of one (1), three (3) or six (6) months or such other period as the Borrowers may select and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) may, subject to the same being
available in the London Interbank Market, agree, and if the Borrowers wish to specify an Interest Period of more than 12 months, they must give at least 5 Banking Days prior notice thereof. 

 

	3.3	 Determination of Interest Periods 

The length of each Interest Period shall be as requested by the Borrowers under clause 3.2 but so that: 

 

	3.3.1	 the first Interest Period in respect of the first Advance to be made hereunder shall start on the Drawdown Date
in respect thereof, and each subsequent Interest Period relating to each Advance shall start the day falling after the last day of the previous Interest Period; 

 

	3.3.2	 the first Interest Period in respect of each subsequent Advance to be made hereunder shall commence on its
Drawdown Date and terminate simultaneously with the Interest Period which is then current for the Loan and each subsequent Interest Period shall start the day falling after the last day of the previous Interest Period; 

 

	3.3.3	 if any Interest Period would otherwise overrun a Repayment Date, then, in the case of the last Repayment Date,
such Interest Period shall end on the last Repayment Date, and in the case of any other Repayment Date the relevant Advance shall be divided into parts so that there is one part in the amount of the repayment instalment due on each Repayment Date
falling in that Interest Period and having an Interest Period ending on the relevant Repayment Date and another part consisting of the balance of the relevant Advance having an Interest Period ascertained in accordance with the other provisions of
this clause 3; and 

  

	3.3.4	 if the Borrowers fail to specify the length of an Interest Period in accordance with the provisions of clause
3.2 and this clause 3.3 such Interest Period shall last three months or such other period as complies with this clause 3.3. 

  
 24 

	3.4	 Default interest 

If the Borrowers fail to pay any sum whatsoever (including, without limitation, any sum payable pursuant to this clause 3.4) on its due date
for payment under any of the Security Documents, the Borrowers must pay interest on such sum on demand from the due date up to the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at a rate determined by the Agent pursuant to this clause
3.4. The period starting on such due date and ending on such date of payment shall be divided into successive periods of not more than one (1) month as selected by the Agent each of which (other than the first, which shall start on such due
date) shall start on the last day of the preceding such period. The rate of interest applicable to each such period shall be the aggregate (as determined by the Agent) of (a) two per cent (2%) per annum, (b) the Margin and
(c) LIBOR for such period. Such interest shall be due and payable on the last day of each such period as determined by the Agent and on the day on which all amounts in respect of which interest is being paid under this clause are paid, and each
such day shall be treated as an Interest Payment Date, provided that if such unpaid sum is (i) an amount of principal which became due and payable by reason of a declaration by the Agent under clause 10.2.2 or (ii) a prepayment pursuant to
clauses 4.3, 4.4, 8.2.1(a) or 12.1 on a date other than an Interest Payment Date relating thereto, the first such period selected by the Agent shall be of a length equal to the period between the due date of such principal sum and such Interest
Payment Date and interest shall be payable on such principal sum during such period at a rate of two per cent (2%) above the rate applicable thereto immediately before it shall have become so due and payable. If, for the reasons specified in
clause 3.5.1, the Agent is unable to determine a rate in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause 3.4, each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of the cost of funds to such Lender and interest on any sum not paid on its due date
for payment shall be calculated at a rate determined by the Agent to be two per cent (2%) per annum above the aggregate of the Margin and the arithmetic mean of the cost of funds to the Lenders compounded at such intervals as the Agent
selects. 
  

	3.5	 Notification of Interest Periods and interest rate 

The Agent agrees to notify (i) the Lenders promptly of the length of each Interest Period and (ii) the Borrowers and the Lenders
promptly of each rate of interest determined by it under this clause 3. 
  

	3.5.1	 Market Disruption Event: If and whenever, at any time prior to the commencement of any Interest Period,
the Agent (in its discretion) shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) that a Market Disruption Event has occurred in relation to the Loan for any such Interest Period, then the Agent shall
forthwith give notice thereof (a “Determination Notice”) to the Borrowers and the rate of interest on each Lender’s share in the Loan (or the relevant part thereof) for that Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per
annum which is the sum of: 

  

	 	(a)	 the Margin and the Mandatory Cost (if any); and 

 

	 	(b)	 the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event by close of business on
the date falling three (3) Banking Days after the Interest Rate Determination Date (or, if earlier, the date falling three (3) Banking Days before the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period), to be that
which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select. 

  
 25 

	 	3.5.2	 Suspension of drawdown: If the Determination Notice is given before the Commitment (or a part thereof)
is advanced, the Lenders’ obligation to make the Commitment (or a part thereof) available shall be suspended while the circumstances referred to in the Determination Notice continue. 

 

	 	3.5.3	 Meaning of “Market Disruption Event”: In this Agreement “Market Disruption
Event” means: 

  

	 	(a)	 at or about noon on the Interest Rate Determination Date for the relevant Interest Period no Screen Rate is
available for Dollars or Replacement Benchmark; and/or 

  

	 	(b)	 before close of business on the Interest Rate Determination Date for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent
receives notifications from a Lender that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the London Interbank Market or the international market relevant to the Replacement Benchmark (as the case may be) to fund its participation in the Loan (or
the relevant part thereof) for such Interest Period would be in excess of the Screen Rate or, as the case may be, the Replacement Benchmark for that Interest Period; and/or 

 

	 	(c)	 before close of business on the Interest Rate Determination Date for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent
receives notifications from a Lender that deposits in Dollars are not available to that Lender in the London Interbank Market or the international market relevant to the Replacement Benchmark (as the case may be) in the ordinary course of business
in sufficient amounts to fund its participation in the Loan (or the relevant part thereof) for that Interest Period. 

  

	 	3.5.4	 Alternative basis of interest or funding 

 

	 	(a)	 If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrowers so require, the Agent and the Borrowers
shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than twenty (20) days (the “Negotiation Period”)) after the giving of the relevant Determination Notice with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate
of interest. 

  

	 	(b)	 Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be binding on the Lenders and all
Security Parties. 

  

	 	3.5.5	 Alternative basis of interest in absence of agreement: If the Agent and the Borrowers will not enter
into negotiations as provided in Clause 3.5.4 (Alternative basis of interest or funding) or if an alternative interest rate or alternative basis is not agreed within the Negotiation Period, and the relevant circumstances are continuing at the end of
the Negotiation Period, then the Agent shall set the following Interest Period and an interest rate representing the cost of funding of the relevant Lender in Dollars of its participation in the Loan (or the relevant part thereof) plus the Margin
for such Interest Period; if the relevant circumstances are continuing at the end of the Interest Period so set by the Agent, the Agent shall continue to set the following Interest Period and an interest rate representing its cost of funding in
Dollars of the Loan (or the relevant part thereof) plus the Margin for such Interest Period. 

  
 26 

	 	3.5.6	 Notice of prepayment: If the Borrowers do not agree with an interest rate set by the Agent under Clause
3.5.5 (Alternative basis of interest in absence of agreement), the Borrowers may give the Agent not less than 5 Banking Days’ notice of its intention to prepay the Loan at the end of the interest period set by the Agent. 

 

	 	3.5.7	 Prepayment; termination of Commitment: A notice under Clause 3.5.6 (Notice of prepayment) shall be
irrevocable; and on the last Banking Day of the interest period set by the Agent the Borrowers shall prepay (without premium or penalty) the Loan, together with accrued interest thereon at the applicable rate plus the Margin and the balance of all
other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Security Documents or, if the Commitment has not been advanced, the Commitment shall be reduced to zero and the Loan shall not be made to the Borrowers under this Agreement thereafter.

  

	 	3.5.8	 Application of prepayment: The provisions of Clause 4 (Repayment and Prepayment) shall apply in relation
to the prepayment made hereunder. 

  

	3.6	 Replacement of Screen Rate 

If a Screen Rate Replacement Event has occurred in relation to the Screen Rate for dollars, any amendment or waiver which relates to: 

 

	 	(a)	 providing for the use of a Replacement Benchmark in relation to that currency in place of that Screen Rate; and

  

	 	(b)	 

  

	 	(i)	 aligning any provision of any Security Document to the use of that Replacement Benchmark;

  

	 	(ii)	 enabling that Replacement Benchmark to be used for the calculation of interest under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, any consequential changes required to enable that Replacement Benchmark to be used for the purposes of this Agreement); 

  

	 	(iii)	 implementing market conventions applicable to that Replacement Benchmark; 

 

	 	(iv)	 providing for appropriate fallback (and market disruption) provisions for that Replacement Benchmark; or

  

	 	(v)	 adjusting the pricing to reduce or eliminate, to the extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic
value from one party hereto to another as a result of the application of that Replacement Benchmark (and if any adjustment or method for calculating any adjustment has been formally designated, nominated or recommended by the Relevant Nominating
Body, the adjustment shall be determined on the basis of that designation, nomination or recommendation), 

 may be made
with the consent of the Majority Lenders and the Borrowers.

The Borrowers must pay all stamp, documentary, registration or other like duties or taxes (including any duties or taxes payable by any of the
Banks but excluding any FATCA Deduction) imposed on or in connection with any of the Underlying Documents, the Security Documents or the Loan or any Advance and agree to indemnify the Banks or any of them against any liability arising by reason of
any delay or omission by any Borrower to pay such duties or taxes. 
  

	6	 PAYMENTS AND TAXES; ACCOUNTS AND CALCULATIONS 

 

	6.1	 No set-off or counterclaim 

All payments to be made by the Borrowers under any of the Security Documents must be made in full, without any set off or counterclaim
whatsoever and, subject to clause 6.6, free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in USD not later than 11 a.m. London time on the due date in freely available funds to such account at such bank and in such place as the Agent may from
time to time specify for this purpose. Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other relevant Security Documents, such payments shall be for the account of all Lenders and the Agent shall distribute such payments in like funds as are
received by the Agent to the Lenders rateably, in the proportions which their respective Contributions bear to the aggregate of the Loan and the Advances on the date on which such payment is made. 

  
 31 

	6.2	 Payment by the Lenders 

All sums to be advanced by the Lenders to the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be remitted in USD on the Drawdown Date to the account of
the Agent at such bank as the Agent may have notified to the Lenders and shall be paid by the Agent on such date in like funds as are received by the Agent to the account or accounts specified in the Drawdown Notice. 

 

	6.3	 Non-Banking Days 

When any payment under any of the Security Documents would otherwise be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, the due date for payment shall
be extended to the next following Banking Day unless such Banking Day falls in the next calendar month in which case payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Banking Day. 

 

	6.4	 Calculations 

All interest and other payments of an annual nature under any of the Security Documents shall accrue from day to day and be calculated on the
basis of actual days elapsed and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year. 
  

	6.5	 Currency of account 

If any sum due from the Borrowers under any of the Security Documents, or under any order or judgment given or made in relation thereto or for
any other reason whatsoever, must be converted from the currency (“the first currency”) in which the same is payable thereunder into another currency (“the second currency”) for the purpose of (i) making or filing a claim or
proof against the Borrowers, (ii) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (iii) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation thereto, the Borrowers undertake to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender
from and against any loss suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (b) the rate or rates of exchange
at which the Lender may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. Any amount due from
the Borrowers under this clause 6.5 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of any of the Security Documents and the term “rate of exchange” includes
any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of the first currency with the second currency. 
  

	6.6	 Grossing-up for Taxes - by the Borrowers 

If at any time the Borrowers must make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes (other than a FATCA Deduction) or deduction in respect
of any royalty payment, duty, assessment or other charge or otherwise from any payment due under any of the Security Documents for the account of any Bank or if the Agent or the Security Trustee must make any deduction or withholding from a payment
to another Bank or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under any of the Security Documents, the sum due from the Borrowers in respect of such payment must then be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of
such deduction or withholding, the relevant Bank receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding), a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been made and the Borrowers agree to indemnify each Bank 

  
 32 

 
on demand against any losses or costs certified by such Bank to have been incurred by it by reason of any failure of the Borrowers to make any such deduction or withholding or by reason of any
increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment Provided however that if any Bank or the Agent or the Security Trustee shall be or become entitled to any Tax credit or relief in respect of any Tax which is deducted from any payment
by the Borrowers and it actually receives a benefit from such Tax credit or relief in its country of domicile, incorporation or residence, the relevant Bank or the Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, shall, subject to any laws or

If at any time a Lender must make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under any of the Security Documents for
the account of the Agent or the Security Trustee, the sum due from such Lender in respect of such payment must be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Agent or, as the case may be,
the Security Trustee receives on the due date for such payment (and retains free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been
required to be made and each Lender must indemnify the Agent and the Security Trustee against any losses or costs incurred by it by reason of any failure of such Lender to make any such deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment
not being made on the due date for such payment.

Each Lender shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, an account evidencing the amounts from time to time lent by, owing to and
paid to it under the Security Documents. The Agent and/or the Security Trustee shall maintain a control account showing the Loan, the Advances and other sums owing by the Borrowers under the Security Documents and all payments in respect thereof
being made from time to time. The control account shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the amount from time to time owing by the Borrowers under the Security Documents. 

 

	6.9	 Agent may assume receipt 

Where any sum is to be paid under the Security Documents to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee for the account of another
person, the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee may assume that the payment will be made when due and the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee may (but shall not be obliged to) make such sum available to the person so
entitled. If it proves to be the case that such payment was not made to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee, then the person to whom such sum was so made available must on request refund such sum to the Agent or, as the case may
be, 

  
 33 

 
the Security Trustee together with interest thereon sufficient to compensate the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee for the cost of making available such sum up to the date of
such repayment and the person by whom such sum was payable must indemnify the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee for any and all loss or expense which the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee may sustain or incur as a
consequence of such sum not having been paid on its due date. 
  

	6.10	 Partial payments 

If, on any date on which a payment is due to be made by the Borrowers under any of the Security Documents(the “due amount”),
the amount received by the Agent from the Borrowers on such date is less than the full due amount then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to the Agent, the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee and the Lenders under any of the
Security Documents, the Agent must apply the amount actually received from the Borrowers in or towards discharge of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Security Documents in the following order, notwithstanding any appropriation made, or
purported to be made, by the Borrowers: 
  

	6.10.1	 first, in or towards payment, on a pro-rata basis, of any unpaid costs
and expenses of the Banks or any of them under any of the Security Documents; 

  

	6.10.2	 secondly, in or towards payment of any fees payable to the Arranger, the Agent or any of the other Banks under,

the Loan which shall have become due under any of the Security Documents but remains unpaid; 

  

	6.10.4	 fourthly, in or towards payment to the Lenders, on a pro rata basis according to their respective
Contributions, of any principal in respect of the Loan which shall have become due and payable but remains unpaid; 

  

	6.10.5	 fifthly, in or towards payment to the Lenders, on a pro rata basis, for any loss suffered by reason of any such
payment in respect of principal not being effected on an Interest Payment Date relating to the part of the Loan repaid and which amounts are so payable under this Agreement; and 

 

	6.10.6	 sixthly in or towards payment to the relevant person of any other sum which shall have become due under any of
the Security Documents but remains unpaid (and, if more than one such sum so remains unpaid, on a pro rata basis).

Nothing in clause 12.2 shall entitle any Lender to receive any amount relating to compensation for any such liability to Taxes, increased or
additional cost, reduction, payment, foregone return or loss to the extent that the same is the subject of an additional payment under clause 6.6 or compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost. 

 

	13	 APPLICATION OF MONEYS, SET OFF, PRO-RATA PAYMENTS AND MISCELLANEOUS

  

	13.1	 Application of moneys 

All moneys received by the Agent and/or the Security Trustee under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents and expressed to be applicable
in accordance with the provisions of this clause 13.1 or in a manner determined in the Security Trustee’s or (as the case may be) the Agent’s discretion, shall be applied in the following manner: 

 

	13.1.1	 first, in or towards payment, on a pro-rata basis, of any unpaid costs
and expenses of the Banks or any of them under any of the Security Documents; 

  

	13.1.2	 secondly, in or towards payment of any fees payable to the Arranger, the Agent or any of the other Banks under,
or in relation to, the Security Documents which remain unpaid; 

  

	13.1.3	 thirdly, in or towards payment to the Lenders, on a pro rata basis, of any accrued interest owing in respect of
the Loan which shall have become due under any of the Security Documents but remains unpaid; 

  

	13.1.4	 fourthly, in or towards payment to the Lenders, on a pro rata basis according to their respective
Contributions, of any principal in respect of the Loan (whether the same is due and payable or not); and 

  

	13.1.5	 fifthly, in or towards payment to the Lenders, on a pro rata basis, for any loss suffered by reason of any such
payment in respect of principal not being effected on an Interest Payment Date relating to the part of the Loan repaid and which amounts are so payable under this Agreement; 

 

	13.1.6	 sixthly in or towards payment to the relevant person of any other sum which shall have become due under any of
the Security Documents but remains unpaid (and, if more than one such sum so remains unpaid, on a pro rata basis; 

  
 67 

	13.1.7	 seventhly, the surplus (if any) shall be paid to the Borrowers or to whomsoever else may then be entitled to
receive such surplus. 

  

	13.2	 Set-off 

 

	13.2.1	 Each Borrower irrevocably authorises each Bank (without prejudice to any of such Bank’s rights at law, in
equity or otherwise), at any time and without notice to the Borrowers, to apply any credit balance to which any Borrower is then entitled standing upon any account of any Borrower with any branch of such Bank in or towards satisfaction of any sum
due and payable from the Borrowers to such Bank under any of the Security Documents. For this purpose, each Bank is authorised to purchase with the moneys standing to the credit of such account such other currencies as may be necessary to effect
such application. 

  

	13.2.2	 No Bank shall be obliged to exercise any right given to it by this clause 13.2. Each Bank shall notify the
Borrowers through the Agent forthwith upon the exercise or purported exercise of any right of set off giving full details in relation thereto and the Agent shall inform the other Banks. 

 

	13.2.3	 Nothing in this clause 13.2 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest.

  

	13.3	 Pro rata payments 

 

	13.3.1	 If at any time any Lender (the “Recovering Lender”) receives or recovers any amount owing to
it by the Borrowers under this Agreement (other than pursuant to any other Security Document) by direct payment, set-off or in any manner other than by payment through the Agent pursuant to clauses 6.1 or 6.9
(not being a payment received from a Transferee Bank or a sub-participant in such Lender’s Contribution or any other payment of an amount due to the Recovering Lender for its sole account pursuant to
clauses 3.6, 5, 6.6, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 12.1, or 12.2), the Recovering Lender shall, within two (2) Banking Days of such receipt or recovery (a “Relevant Receipt”) notify the Agent of the amount of the Relevant Receipt. If the
Relevant Receipt exceeds the amount which the Recovering Lender would have received if the Relevant Receipt had been received by the Agent and distributed pursuant to clause 6.1 or 6.10 (as the case may be) then: 

 

	 	(a)	 within two (2) Banking Days of demand by the Agent, the Recovering Lender shall pay to the Agent an amount
equal (or equivalent) to the excess; 

  

	 	(b)	 the Agent shall treat the excess amount so paid by the Recovering Lender as if it were a payment made by the
Borrowers and shall distribute the same to the Lenders (other than the Recovering Lenders) in accordance with clause 6.10; and 

  

	 	(c)	 as between the Borrowers and the Recovering Lender the excess amount so
re-distributed shall be treated as not having been paid but the obligations of the Borrowers to the other Lenders shall, to the extent of the amount so re-distributed to
them, be treated as discharged. 

  

	13.3.2	 If any part of the Relevant Receipt subsequently has to be wholly or partly refunded by the Recovering Lender
(whether to a liquidator or otherwise) each Lender to which any part of such Relevant Receipt was so re-distributed shall on request from the Recovering Lender repay to the Recovering Lender such Lender’s
pro-rata share of the amount which has to be refunded by the Recovering Lender. 

  
 68 

	13.3.3	 Each Lender shall on request supply to the Agent such information as the Agent may from time to time request
for the purposes of this clause 13.3. 

  

	13.3.4	 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause 13.3, no Recovering Lender shall be obliged to share
any Relevant Receipt which it receives or recovers pursuant to Proceedings taken by it to recover any sums owing to it under this Agreement with any other party which has a legal right to, but does not, either join in such Proceedings or commence
and diligently pursue separate Proceedings to enforce its rights in the same or another court (unless the Proceedings instituted by the Recovering Lender are instituted by it without prior notice having been given to such party through the Agent).

  

	13.4	 No release 

For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that failure by any Recovering Lender to comply with the provisions of clause 13.3 shall not
release any other Recovering Lender from any of its obligations or liabilities under clause 13.3. 
  

	13.5	 No charge 

The provisions of this clause 13 shall not, and shall not be construed so as to, constitute a charge or create or declare a trust by a Lender
over all or any part of a sum received or recovered by it in the circumstances mentioned in clause 13.3. 
  

	13.6	 Further assurance 

Each Borrower undertakes with each Bank that the Security Documents shall both at the date of execution and delivery thereof and throughout the
Facility Period be valid and binding obligations of the Security Parties party thereto which, with the rights of each Lender thereunder, are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms and that they will, at their expense, execute, sign,
perfect and do, and will procure the execution, signing, perfecting and doing by each of the other Security Parties of, any and every such further assurance, document, act or thing as in the reasonable opinion of the Majority Lenders may be
necessary or desirable for perfecting the security contemplated or constituted by the Security Documents. 
  

	13.7	 Conflicts 

In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any of the other Security Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

  

	13.8	 No implied waivers, remedies cumulative 

No failure or delay on the part of any of the Banks to exercise any power, right or remedy under any of the Security Documents shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Bank of any power, right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The remedies provided in the Security Documents
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. No waiver by any Bank shall be effective unless it is in writing. 
  

	13.9	 Severability 

If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such prohibition, invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability shall not affect or impair howsoever the remaining provisions thereof or affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

  
 69 

	13.10	 Force Majeure 

Regardless of any other provision of this Agreement, none of the Banks shall be liable for any failure to perform the whole or any part of this
Agreement resulting directly or indirectly from (i) the action or inaction or purported action of any governmental or local authority (ii) any strike, lockout, boycott or blockade (including any strike, lockout, boycott or blockade
effected by or upon any Bank or any of its representatives or employees) (iii) any act of God (iv) any act of war (whether declared or not) or terrorism (v) any failure of any information technology or other operational systems or
equipment affecting any Bank or (vi) any other circumstances whatsoever outside any Bank’s control. 
  

	13.11	 Amendments 

This Agreement may be amended or varied only by an instrument in writing executed by all parties hereto who irrevocably agree that the
provisions of this clause 13.11 may not be waived or modified except by an instrument in writing to that effect signed by all of them. 
  

	13.12	 Counterparts 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the
same agreement which may be sufficiently evidenced by one counterpart. 
  

	13.13	 English language 

All documents required to be delivered under and/or supplied whensoever in connection howsoever with any of the Security Documents and all
notices, communications, information and other written material whatsoever given or provided in connection howsoever therewith must either be in the English language or accompanied by an English translation certified by a notary, lawyer or consulate
acceptable to the Agent. 
  

	13.14	 Contractual recognition of bail-in 

Notwithstanding any other term of any Security Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the Parties, each Party
acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any Party to any other Party under or in connection with the Security Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and
acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of: 
  

	 	(a)	 any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including
(without limitation): 

  

	 	(i)	 a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but
unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability; 

  

	 	(ii)	 a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be
issued to, or conferred on, it; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 a cancellation of any such liability; and 

  
 70 

	 	(b)	 a variation of any term of any Security Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability. 

  

	14	 ACCOUNTS AND RETENTIONS 

 

	14.1	 General 

Each Borrower undertakes with each Bank that it will ensure that: 
  

	14.1.1	 it will on or before the Drawdown Date, open an Earnings Account in its name; and 

 

	14.1.2	 all moneys payable to any Borrower in respect of the Earnings of its Mortgaged Vessel shall, unless and until
the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) directs to the contrary, be paid to its Earnings Account, Provided however that if any of the moneys paid to an Earnings Account are payable in a currency other than USD the Account Bank
shall then convert such moneys into USD at the Account Bank’s spot rate of exchange at the relevant time for the purchase of USD with such currency and the term “spot rate of exchange” shall include any premium and costs of exchange
payable in connection with the purchase of USD with such currency. 

  

	14.2	 Earnings Accounts: withdrawals 

Any sums standing to the credit of the Earnings Accounts may be applied from time to time (i) firstly to make the payments required under
this Agreement, (ii) secondly, subject to there being no breach of clauses 14.3 and 14.4 and to no Event of Default having occurred, in the operation of the Vessels (operating and voyage expenses) and (iii) thirdly, subject to no Event of
Default having occurred and to there being at any time sufficient funds to maintain or pay amounts due under (i) and (ii) above as they fall due, for the general corporate purposes of the Borrowers. 

 

	14.3	 Minimum Balance 

The Borrowers shall deposit on the Drawdown Date and maintain thereafter throughout the Facility Period on the Liquidity Account a balance of

	14.4	 Retention Account: credits and withdrawals 

 

	14.4.1	 The Borrowers undertake with each Bank that, throughout the Facility Period, they will procure that, on each
Retention Date there is paid (whether from the Earnings Accounts or elsewhere) to the Retention Account, the Retention Amount for such date. 

  

	14.4.2	 Unless and until there shall occur an Event of Default (whereupon the provisions of clause 14.5 shall apply),
all Retention Amounts credited to the Retention Account together with interest from time to time accruing or at any time accrued thereon must be applied by the Account Bank (and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorise the Account Bank so to apply
the same) upon each Repayment Date and/or on each day that interest is payable on the Loan or an Advance pursuant to clause 3.1, in or towards payment to the Agent of the instalment then falling due for repayment or, as the case may be, the amount
of interest then due. Each such application by the Account Bank shall constitute a payment in or towards satisfaction of the Borrowers’ corresponding payment obligations under this Agreement but shall be strictly without prejudice to the
obligations of the Borrowers to make any such payment to the extent that the aforesaid application by the Account Bank is insufficient to meet the same. 

  
 71 

	14.4.3	 Unless the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) otherwise agrees in writing and subject
to clause 14.4.2, Borrowers shall not be entitled to withdraw any moneys from the Retention Account at any time during the Facility Period.

At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent may (and on the instructions of the Majority Lenders shall), without notice
to the Borrowers, instruct the Account Bank to apply all moneys then standing to the credit of the Earnings Accounts and/or the Retention Account (together with interest from time to time accruing or accrued thereon) in or towards satisfaction of
any sums due to the Banks or any of them under the Security Documents in the manner specified in clause 13.1.

that any Transferee Lender shall, before transferring its right, benefits and obligations to any other bank or financial institution, give notice thereof to the other Lenders, who shall have the option, to be exercised by notice in writing, to
acquire all its part of the rights, benefits and obligations of the Transferee Lender, in which case the Transferor Lender shall transfer the same to that Lender or Lenders in accordance with this clause 15.3. No such transfer is binding on, or
effective in relation to, the Borrowers or the Agent unless (i) it is effected or evidenced by a Transfer Certificate which complies with the provisions of this clause 15.3 and is signed by or on behalf of the Transferor

  
 72 

 
Lender, the Transferee Lender and the Agent (on behalf of itself, the Borrowers and the other Banks) and (ii) such transfer of rights under the other Security Documents has been effected and

Commitment and shall be in respect of the same proportion of its Contribution; 

  

	15.3.2	 a Transfer Certificate shall only be in respect of rights and obligations of the Transferor Lender in its
capacity as a Lender and shall not transfer its rights and obligations (if applicable) as the Agent and/or Security Trustee, or in any other capacity, as the case may be and such other rights and obligations may only be transferred in accordance
with any applicable provisions of this Agreement; 

  

	15.3.3	 a Transfer Certificate shall take effect in accordance with English law as follows: 

 

	 	(a)	 to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate, the Transferor Lender’s payment rights and all its
other rights (other than those referred to in clause 15.3.2 above) under this Agreement are assigned to the Transferee Lender absolutely, free of any defects in the Transferor Lender’s title and of any rights or equities which the Borrowers had

are applicable to the Lenders generally, including those about pro-rata sharing and the exclusion of liability on the part of, and the indemnification of, the Agent and the Security Trustee and to the extent
that the Transferee Lender becomes bound by those provisions, the Transferor Lender ceases to be bound by them; 

  

	 	(e)	 an Advance or part of an Advance which the Transferee Lender makes after the Transfer Certificate comes into
effect ranks in point of priority and security in the same way as it would have ranked had it been made by the Transferor Lender, assuming that any defects in the Transferor Lender’s title and any rights or equities of any Security Party
against the Transferor Lender had not existed; and 

  

	 	(f)	 the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to all the rights under this Agreement which are applicable to the
Lenders generally, including but not limited to those relating to the Majority Lenders and those under clauses 3.6, 5 and 12 and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be entitled to
them; 

  
 73 

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

  

	15.3.5	 the Borrowers, the Account Bank, the Security Trustee, the Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorise
and instruct the Agent to sign any such Transfer Certificate on their behalf and undertake not to withdraw, revoke or qualify such authority or instruction at any time. Promptly upon its signature of any Transfer Certificate, the Agent shall notify
the Borrowers, the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender. 

  

	15.4	 Reliance on Transfer Certificate 

 

	15.4.1	 The Agent shall be entitled to rely on any Transfer Certificate believed by it to be genuine and correct and to

	15.4.2	 The Agent shall at all times during the continuation of this Agreement maintain a register in which it shall
record the name, Commitments, Contributions and administrative details (including the lending office) from time to time of the Lenders holding a Transfer Certificate and the date at which the transfer referred to in such Transfer Certificate held by
each Lender was transferred to such Lender, and the Agent shall make the said register available for inspection by any Lender or the Borrowers during normal banking hours upon receipt by the Agent of reasonable prior notice requesting the Agent to
do so. 

  

	15.4.3	 The entries on the said register shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive in determining the
identities of the Commitments, the Contributions and the Transfer Certificates held by the Lenders from time to time and the principal amounts of such Transfer Certificates and may be relied upon by all parties to this Agreement.

  

	15.5	 Transfer fees and expenses 

Any Transferor Lender who causes the transfer of all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations under the Security Documents in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause 15, must, on each occasion, pay to the Agent a transfer fee of three thousand Dollars (USD3,000) and, in addition, be responsible for all other costs and expenses (including, but not limited
to, reasonable legal fees and expenses) associated therewith and all value added tax thereon, as well as those of the Agent (in addition to its fee as aforesaid) in connection with such transfer. 

 

	15.6	 Documenting transfers 

If any Lender assigns all or any part of its rights or transfers all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations as provided in
clause 15.3, each Borrower undertakes, immediately on being requested to do so by the Agent and at the cost of the Transferor Lender, to enter into, and procure that the other Security Parties shall (at the cost of the Transferor Lender) enter into,
such documents as may be necessary or desirable to transfer to the Transferee Lender all or the relevant part of such Lender’s interest in the Security Documents and all relevant references in this Agreement to such Lender shall thereafter be
construed as a reference to the Transferor Lender and/or its Transferee Lender (as the case may be) to the extent of their respective interests. 

  
 74 

	15.7	 Sub-Participation, securitisation, subrogation assignment

	15.7.1	 A Lender may sub-participate or include in a securitisation or similar
transaction all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under or in connection with the Security Documents without the prior consent of the Borrowers, any Security Party, the Agent or the Security Trustee and the Lenders may assign, in any
manner and terms all or any part of those rights to an insurer or surety who has become subrogated to them. 

  

	15.7.2	 The Borrowers shall, and shall procure that each Security Party shall, do everything desirable or necessary to
assist the Lenders (or any of them) to achieve a successful (in the opinion of the Lender concerned) securitisation (or similar transaction) or any sub-participation or subrogation assignment.

  

	15.8	 Lending office 

Each Lender shall lend through its office at the address specified in schedule 1 or, as the case may be, in any relevant Transfer Certificate
or through any other office of such Lender selected from time to time by it through which such Lender wishes to lend for the purposes of this Agreement. If the office through which a Lender is lending is changed pursuant to this clause 15.8, such
Lender shall notify the Agent promptly of such change and the Agent shall notify the Borrowers, the Security Trustee, the Account Bank and the other Lenders. 
  

	15.9	 Disclosure of information 

A Bank may disclose to any of its branches and affiliates, its head office, any relevant fiscal authorities a prospective assignee, transferee
or to any other person who may propose entering into contractual relations with such Bank in relation to this Agreement such information about the Borrowers and/or the other Security Parties and/or the Loan and/or the Security Documents as such Bank
shall consider appropriate in relation to any transfer and/or enforcement hereunder. 
  

	16	 ARRANGER, AGENT AND SECURITY TRUSTEE 

 

	16.1	 Appointment of the Agent 

Each Lender irrevocably appoints the Agent as its agent for the purposes of this Agreement and such of the Security Documents to which it may

	16.6	 Non–reliance on Arranger, Security Trustee or Agent 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, opinion, forecast or other representation made by the Arranger, the Security
Trustee or the Agent to induce it to enter into any of the Security Documents and that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance on the Arranger, the Security Trustee or the Agent and based on such documents as it considers
appropriate, its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Security Parties and its own independent investigation of the financial condition, prospects and affairs of the Security Parties in connection with the making and continuation of such
Lender’s Commitment or Contribution under this Agreement. None of the Arranger, the Security Trustee and the Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information with respect to any Security Party whether coming into its possession before the making of any Advance or the Loan or at any time or times thereafter other than as provided in clause 16.3.1. 

  
 77 

	16.7	 No responsibility on Arranger, Security Trustee or Agent for Borrowers’ performance

 None of the Arranger, the Security Trustee or the Agent shall have any responsibility or liability to any Lender: 

 

	16.7.1	 on account of the failure of any Security Party to perform its obligations under any of the Security Documents;
or 

  

	16.7.2	 for the financial condition of any Security Party; or 

 

	16.7.3	 for the completeness or accuracy of any statements, representations or warranties in any of the Security
Documents or any document delivered under any of the Security Documents; or 

  

	16.7.4	 for the execution, effectiveness, adequacy, genuineness, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence
of any of the Security Documents or of any certificate, report or other document executed or delivered under any of the Security Documents; or 

  

	16.7.5	 to investigate or make any enquiry into the title of the Borrowers or any other Security Party to the Vessels
or any other security or any part thereof; or 

  

	16.7.6	 for taking or omitting to take any other action under or in relation to any of the Security Documents or any
aspect of any of the Security Documents; or 

  

	16.7.7	 on account of the failure of the Security Trustee to perform or discharge any of its duties or obligations
under the Security Documents; or 

  

	16.7.8	 otherwise in connection with the Security Documents or their negotiation or for acting (or, as the case may be,
refraining from acting) in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders. 

  

	16.8	 Reliance on documents and professional advice 

Each of the Arranger, the Security Trustee and the Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document believed by it
to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person and shall be entitled to rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it
(including those in the Arranger’s, Security Trustee’s or Agent’s employment). 
  

	16.9	 Other dealings 

Each of the Arranger, the Security Trustee and the Agent may, without any liability to account to the Lenders, accept deposits from, and
generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with, and provide advisory or other services to, any Security Party or any company in the same group of companies as such Security Party or any of the Lenders as if it were not the Arranger,
the Security Trustee or Agent. 
  

	16.10	 Rights of Agent, Agent as Lender; no partnership 

With respect to its own Commitment and Contribution (if any) the Security Trustee and the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the
Security Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it under this Agreement and the term “Lenders” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates,
include the Security Trustee and the Agent in their respective individual capacity as a Lender. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to constitute a partnership between the parties or any of them. 

  
 78 

	16.11	 Amendments and waivers 

 

	16.11.1	 Subject to clause 16.11, the Arranger, the Security Trustee and/or the Agent (as the case may be) may, with the
consent of the Majority Lenders (or if and to the extent expressly permitted by the other provisions of any of the Security Documents) and, if so instructed by the Majority Lenders, shall: 

 

	16.11.2	 agree (or authorise the Security Trustee to agree) amendments or modifications to any of the Security Documents
with the Borrowers and/or any other Security Party; and/or 

  

	16.11.3	 vary or waive breaches of, or defaults under, or otherwise excuse performance of, any provision of any of the
other Security Documents by the Borrowers and/or any other Security Party (or authorise the Security Trustee to do so). 

Any such action so authorised and effected by the Agent shall be documented in such manner as the Security Trustee and/or the Agent (as the
case may be) shall (with the approval of the Majority Lenders) determine, shall be promptly notified to the Lenders by the Security Trustee and/or the Agent (as the case may be) and (without prejudice to the generality of clause 16.2) shall be
binding on the Lenders. 
  

	16.11.4	 Except with the prior written consent of the Lenders, the Security Trustee and the Agent shall have no
authority on behalf of the Lenders to agree (or authorise the Security Trustee to agree) with the Borrowers and/or any other Security Party any amendment or modification to any of the Security Documents or to grant (or authorise the Security Trustee
to grant) waivers in respect of breaches or defaults or to vary or excuse (or authorise the Security Trustee to vary or excuse) performance of or under any of the Security Documents by the Borrowers and/or any other Security Party, if the effect of
such amendment, modification, waiver or excuse would be to: 

  

	 	(a)	 reduce the Margin, postpone the due date or reduce the amount of any payment of principal, interest or other
amount payable by any Security Party under any of the Security Documents; 

  

	 	(b)	 change the currency in which any amount is payable by any Security Party under any of the Security Documents;

  

	 	(c)	 increase any Lender’s Commitment; 

 

	 	(d)	 extend any Maturity Date; 

 

	 	(e)	 change any provision of any of the Security Documents which expressly or impliedly requires the approval or
consent of all the Lenders such that the relevant approval or consent may be given otherwise than with the sanction of all the Lenders; 

  

	 	(f)	 change the order of distribution under clauses 6.10 and 13.1; 

 

	 	(g)	 change this clause 16.11; 

 

	 	(h)	 change the definition of “Majority Lenders” in clause 1.2; 

  
 79 

	 	(i)	 release any Security Party from the security constituted by any Security Document (except as required by the
terms thereof or by law) or change the terms and conditions upon which such security or guarantee may be, or is required to be, released. 

  

	16.12	 Reimbursement and indemnity by Lenders 

Each Lender shall reimburse the Security Trustee and the Agent (rateably in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment or, after the first
Advance or the Loan has been drawn, its Contribution,) to the extent that the Security Trustee or the Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrowers, for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Security Trustee or the Agent which are expressed to
be payable by the Borrowers under clause 5.3 including (in each case), without limitation, the fees and expenses of legal or other professional advisers provided that, if following any payment to the Security Trustee or the Agent by a Lender under
this clause the Security Trustee or the Agent receives payment from the Borrowers in respect of the same costs, fees or expenses, the Security Trustee or the Agent shall upon receipt thereof reimburse the relevant Lender. Each Lender must on demand
indemnify the Security Trustee or the Agent (rateably in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment or, after the first Advance or the Loan has been drawn, its Contribution) against all liabilities, damages, costs and claims whatsoever incurred
by the Security Trustee in connection with any of the Security Documents or the performance of its duties under any of the Security Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Security Trustee or, as the case may be, the Agent, under any of the
Security Documents, unless such liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise from the Security Trustee’s or as the case may be, the Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 

 

	16.13	 Retirement of the Agent 

 

	16.13.1	 The Agent may, having given to the Borrowers and each of the Lenders not less than fifteen (15) days’
notice of its intention to do so, retire from its appointment as the Agent under this Agreement, provided that no such retirement shall take effect unless there has been appointed by the Lenders as a successor agent: 

 

	 	(a)	 a company in the same group of companies as the Agent, 

 

	 	(b)	 a Lender nominated by the Majority Lenders or, failing such a nomination, 

 

	 	(c)	 any reputable and experienced bank or financial institution nominated by the retiring Agent.

 and written confirmation (in a form acceptable to the Lenders) of such acceptance agreeing to be bound by this Agreement
in the capacity of the Agent as if it had been an original party to this Agreement. 
 Any corporation into which the retiring Agent and/or
the retiring Security Trustee (as the case may be) may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the Security Trustee and/or the Agent (as the case may be) may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion,
amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation to which the Security Trustee or the Agent (as the case may be) shall be a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Agent or Security Trustee under this Agreement
and the other Security Documents without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to the Security Documents save that notice of any 

  
 80 

 
such merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation shall forthwith be given to each Security Party and the Lenders. Prior to any such successor being appointed, the
Agent agrees to consult with the Borrowers and the Lenders as to the identity of the proposed successor and to take account of any reasonable objections which the Borrowers and the Lenders may raise to such successor being appointed. 

 

	16.13.2	 If the Majority Lenders, acting reasonably, are of the opinion that the Security Trustee or Agent is unable to
fulfil its respective obligations under this Agreement in a professional and acceptable manner, then they may require the Security Trustee or Agent, by written notice, to resign in accordance with clause 16.13.1, which the Agent shall promptly do,
and the terms of clause 16.13.1 shall apply to the appointment of any substitute Security Trustee or Agent, save that the same shall be appointed by the Majority Lenders and not by all of the Lenders. 

 

	16.13.3	 Upon any such successor as aforesaid being appointed, the retiring Agent or, as the case may be, the Security
Trustee shall be discharged from any further obligation under the Security Documents (but shall continue to have the benefit of this clause 16 in respect of any action it has taken or refrained from taking prior to such discharge) and its successor
and each of the other parties to this Agreement shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor had been a party to this Agreement in place of the retiring Agent or Security Trustee. The retiring
Agent or Agent shall (at its own expense) provide its successor with copies of such of its records as its successor reasonably requires to carry out its functions under the Security Documents. 

 

	16.14	 Appointment and retirement of Security Trustee 

 

	16.14.1	 Appointment 

Each of the Banks irrevocably appoints the Security Trustee as its Security Trustee and trustee for the purposes of the Security Documents, in
each case on the terms set out in this Agreement. Accordingly, each of the Lenders and the Agent hereby authorises the Security Trustee (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such rights,
remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to the Security Trustee by this Agreement and/or the Security Documents, together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

 

	16.14.2	 Retirement 

Without prejudice to clause 16.13, the Security Trustee may, having given to the Borrowers and each of the Lenders not less than fifteen
(15) days’ notice of its intention to do so, retire from its appointment as Security Trustee under this Agreement and any Trust Deed, provided that no such retirement shall take effect unless there has been appointed by the Lenders and the
Agent as a successor Security Trustee and trustee: 
  

	 	(a)	 a company in the same group of companies of the Security Trustee nominated by the Security Trustee which the
Lenders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to appoint or, failing such nomination, 

  

	 	(b)	 a Lender or trust corporation nominated by the Majority Lenders or, failing such a nomination,

  
 81 

	 	(c)	 any bank or trust corporation nominated by the retiring Security Trustee, 

and, in any case, such successor Security Trustee and trustee shall have duly accepted such appointment by delivering to the Agent
(i) written confirmation (in a form acceptable to the Agent) of such acceptance agreeing to be bound by this Agreement in the capacity of Security Trustee as if it had been an original party to this Agreement and (ii) a duly executed Trust
Deed. 
 Any corporation into which the retiring Security Trustee may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the Security
Trustee may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation to which the Security Trustee shall be a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the
successor Security Trustee under this Agreement, any Trust Deed and the other Security Documents without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement, any Trust Deed and the other
Security Documents save that notice of any such merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation shall forthwith be given to each Security Party and the Lenders. Prior to any such successor being appointed, the Security
Trustee agrees to consult with the Borrowers as to the identity of the proposed successor and to take account of any reasonable objections which the Borrowers may raise to such successor being appointed. 

Upon any such successor as aforesaid being appointed, the retiring Security Trustee shall be discharged from any further obligation under the
Security Documents (but shall continue to have the benefit of this clause 16 in respect of any action it has taken or refrained from taking prior to such discharge) and its successor and each of the other parties to this Agreement shall have the
same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor had been a party to this Agreement in place of the retiring Security Trustee. The retiring Security Trustee shall (at its own expense) provide its successor with
copies of such of its records as its successor reasonably requires to carry out its functions under the Security Documents. 
  

	16.15	 Powers and duties of the Security Trustee 

 

	16.15.1	 The Security Trustee shall have no duties, obligations or liabilities to any of the Lenders and the Agent
beyond those expressly stated in any of the Security Documents. Each of the Agent and the Lenders hereby authorises the Security Trustee to enter into and execute: 

 

	 	(a)	 each of the Security Documents to which the Security Trustee is or is intended to be a party; and

  

	 	(b)	 any and all such other Security Documents as may be approved by the Agent in writing (acting on the
instructions of the Majority Lenders) for entry into by the Security Trustee, 

 and, in each and every case, to hold any
and all security thereby created upon trust for the Lenders and the Agent for the time being in the manner contemplated by this Agreement. 
  

	16.15.2	 Subject to clause 16.15.3 the Security Trustee may, with the prior consent of the Majority Lenders communicated
in writing by the Agent, concur with any of the Security Parties to: 

  

	 	(a)	 amend, modify or otherwise vary any provision of the Security Documents to which the Security Trustee is or is
intended to be a party; or 

  
 82 

	 	(b)	 waive breaches of, or defaults under, or otherwise excuse performance of, any provision of the Security
Documents to which the Security Trustee is or is intended to be a party; or 

  

	 	(c)	 give any consents to any Security Party in respect of any provision of any Security Document.

 Any such action so authorised and effected by the Security Trustee shall be promptly notified to the Lenders and the
Agent by the Security Trustee and shall be binding on the other Banks. 
  

	16.15.3	 The Security Trustee shall not concur with any Security Party with respect to any of the matters described in
clause 16.11.4 without the consent of the Lenders communicated in writing by the Agent. 

  

	16.15.4	 The Security Trustee shall (subject to the other provisions of this clause 16) take such action or, as the case
may be, refrain from taking such action, with respect to any of its rights, powers and discretions as Security Trustee and trustee, as the Agent may direct. Subject as provided in the foregoing provisions of this clause, unless and until the
Security Trustee has received such instructions from the Agent, the Security Trustee may, but shall not be obliged to, take (or refrain from taking) such action under or pursuant to the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.14 as the Security
Trustee shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks provided that (for the avoidance of doubt), to the extent that this clause might otherwise be construed as authorising the Security Trustee to take, or refrain from taking, any action
of the nature referred to in clause 16.15.2—and for which the prior consent of the Lenders is expressly required under clause 16.15.3—clauses 16.15.2 and 16.15.3 shall apply to the exclusion of this clause. 

 

	16.15.5	 None of the Lenders nor the Agent shall have any independent power to enforce any of the Security Documents
referred to in clause 16.14 or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to such Security Documents or any of them or otherwise have direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees
constituted by such Security Documents or any of them except through the Security Trustee. 

  

	16.15.6	 For the purpose of this clause 16, the Security Trustee may, rely and act in reliance upon any information from
time to time furnished to the Security Trustee by the Agent (whether pursuant to clause 16.15.7 or otherwise) unless and until the same is superseded by further such information, so that the Security Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility
to any party as a consequence of placing reliance on and acting in reliance upon any such information unless the Security Trustee has actual knowledge that such information is inaccurate or incorrect. 

 

	16.15.7	 Without prejudice to the foregoing each of the Agent and the Lenders (whether directly or through the Agent)
shall provide the Security Trustee with such written information as it may reasonably require for the purpose of carrying out its duties and obligations under the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.14. 

 

	16.16	 Trust provisions 

 

	16.16.1	 The trusts constituted or evidenced in or by this Agreement and the Trust Deed shall remain in full force and
effect until whichever is the earlier of: 

  

	 	(a)	 the expiration of a period of eighty (80) years from the Execution Date; and 

  
 83 

	 	(b)	 receipt by the Security Trustee of confirmation in writing by the Agent that there is no longer outstanding any
Indebtedness (actual or contingent) which is secured or guaranteed or otherwise assured by or under any of the Security Documents, 

and the parties to this Agreement declare that the perpetuity period applicable to this Agreement and the trusts declared by the Trust Deed
shall for the purposes of the Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 1964 be the period of eighty (80) years from the Execution Date. 
  

	16.16.2	 In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Documents specified in clause 16.14, the Security
Trustee shall, without prejudice to any of the powers, discretions and immunities conferred upon trustees by law (and to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of any of those Security Documents), have all the same powers and discretions as
a natural person acting as the beneficial owner of such property and/or as are conferred upon the Security Trustee by any of those Security Documents. 

  

	16.16.3	 It is expressly declared that, in its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Documents specified in
clause 16.14, the Security Trustee shall be entitled, subject to the consent of the Lenders, to invest moneys forming part of the security and which, in the opinion of the Security Trustee, may not be paid out promptly following receipt in the name
or under the control of the Security Trustee in any of the investments for the time being authorised by law for the investment by trustees of trust moneys or in any other property or investments whether similar to the aforesaid or not or by placing
the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Security Trustee as the Security Trustee may think fit without being under any duty to diversify its investments and the Security Trustee may at any time vary or transpose any such property
or investments for or into any others of a like nature and shall not be responsible for any loss due to depreciation in value or otherwise of such property or investments. Any investment of any part or all of the security may, at the discretion of
the Security Trustee, be made or retained in the names of nominees. 

  

	16.17	 Independent action by Banks 

None of the Banks shall enforce, exercise any rights, remedies or powers or grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to, or otherwise
have a direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by any of the Security Documents without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders but, provided such consent has been obtained, it shall not be necessary for any other
Bank to be joined as an additional party in any Proceedings for this purpose. 
  

	16.18	 Common Agent and Security Trustee 

The Agent and the Security Trustee have entered into the Security Documents in their separate capacities (a) as agent for the Lenders
under and pursuant to this Agreement (in the case of the Agent) and (b) as Security Trustee and trustee for the Lenders and the Agent under and pursuant to this Agreement, to hold the guarantees and/or security created by the Security Documents
specified in clause 16.14 on the terms set out in such Security Documents (in the case of the Security Trustee). If and when the Agent and the Security Trustee are the same entity and any Security Document provides for the Agent to communicate with
or provide instructions to the Security Trustee (and vice versa), all parties to this Agreement agree that any such communications or instructions on such occasions are unnecessary and are hereby waived. 

  
 84 

	16.19	 Co-operation to achieve agreed priorities of application

 The Lenders and the Agent shall co-operate with each other and with the
Security Trustee and any receiver under the Security Documents in realising the property and assets subject to the Security Documents and in ensuring that the net proceeds realised under the Security Documents after deduction of the expenses of
realisation are applied in accordance with clause 13.1. 
  

	16.20	 The Prompt distribution of proceeds 

Moneys received by any of the Banks (whether from a receiver or otherwise) pursuant to the exercise of (or otherwise by virtue of the existence
of) any rights and powers under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents shall (after providing for all costs, charges, expenses and liabilities and other payments ranking in priority) be paid to the Agent for distribution (in the case of moneys
so received by any of the Banks other than the Agent or the Security Trustee) and shall be distributed by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee (in the case of moneys so received by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security
Trustee) in each case in accordance with clause 13.1. The Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee shall make each such application and/or distribution as soon as is practicable after the relevant moneys are received by, or otherwise
become available to, the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee save that (without prejudice to any other provision contained in any of the Security Documents) the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee (acting on the
instructions of the Majority Lenders) or any receiver may credit any moneys received by it to a suspense account for so long and in such manner as the Agent or such receiver may from time to time determine with a view to preserving the rights of the
Agent and/or the Security Trustee and/or the Arranger and/or the Account Bank and/or the Lenders or any of them to provide for the whole of their respective claims against the Borrowers or any other person liable. 

 

	16.21	 Reconventioning 

After consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders and notwithstanding clause 16.11, the Agent shall be entitled to make such amendments to
this Agreement as it may determine to be necessary to take account of any changes in market practices as a consequence of the European Monetary Union (whether as to the settlement or rounding of obligations, business days, the calculation of
interest or otherwise whatsoever). So far as possible such amendments shall be such as to put the parties in the same position as if the event or events giving rise to the need to amend this Agreement had not occurred. Any amendment so made to this
Agreement by the Agent shall be promptly notified to the other parties hereto and shall be binding on all parties hereto. 
  

	16.22	 Exclusivity 

Without prejudice to the Borrowers’ rights, in certain instances, to give their consent thereunder, clauses 15 and 16 are for the
exclusive benefit of the Banks.

	18	 BORROWERS’ OBLIGATIONS 

 

	18.1	 Joint and several 

Regardless of any other provision in any of the Security Documents, all obligations and liabilities whatsoever of the Borrowers herein
contained are joint and several and shall be construed accordingly. Each of the Borrowers agrees and consents to be bound by the Security Documents to which it becomes a party notwithstanding that the other Borrower may not do so or be effectually
bound and notwithstanding that any of the Security Documents may be invalid or unenforceable against the other Borrower, whether or not the deficiency is known to any Bank. 
  

	18.2	 Borrowers as principal debtors 

Each Borrower acknowledges that it is a principal and original debtor in respect of all amounts which may become payable by the Borrowers in
accordance with the terms of any of the Security Documents and agrees that each Bank may continue to treat it as such, whether or not such Bank is or becomes aware that such Borrower is or has become a surety for the other Borrower. 

  
 87 

	18.3	 Indemnity 

The Borrowers undertake to keep the Banks fully indemnified on demand against all claims, damages, losses, costs and expenses arising from any

No Bank shall be obliged to make any claim or demand or to resort to any security or other means of payment now or hereafter held by or
available to them for enforcing any of the Security Documents against any Borrower or any other person liable and no action taken or omitted by any Bank in connection with any such security or other means of payment will discharge, reduce, prejudice

or towards discharge of any moneys owing under this Agreement in such manner as the Agent shall require. 

  

	19	 GOVERNING LAW 

This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it is governed
by and shall be construed in accordance with English law. 
  

	20	 JURISDICTION 

  

	20.1	 Exclusive Jurisdiction 

For the benefit of the Banks, and subject to clause 20.4 below, the Borrowers hereby irrevocably agree that the courts of England shall have
exclusive jurisdiction: 
  

	20.1.1	 to settle any disputes or other matters whatsoever arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and any disputes or other such matters arising in connection with the negotiation, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any
part thereof, whether the alleged liability shall arise under the laws of England or under the laws of some other country and regardless of whether a particular cause of action may successfully be brought in the English courts; and

  

	20.1.2	 to grant interim remedies or other provisional or protective relief. 

 

	20.2	 Submission and service of process 

Each Borrower accordingly irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts. Without prejudice to any other
mode of service each Borrower: 
  

	20.2.1	 irrevocably empowers and appoints Hill Dickinson Services (London) Ltd. at present of The Broadgate Tower, 20
Primrose Street, London EC2A 2EW, England, as its agent to receive and accept on its behalf any process or other document relating to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with this Agreement; 

 

	20.2.2	 agrees to maintain such an agent for service of process in England from the date hereof until the end of the
Facility Period; 

  
 89 

	20.2.3	 agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Borrowers of service of process will not invalidate the
proceedings concerned; 

  

	20.2.4	 without prejudice to the effectiveness of service of process on its agent under clause 20.2.1 above but as an
alternative method, consents to the service of process relating to any such proceedings by mailing or delivering a copy of the process to its address for the time being applying under clause 17.2; 

 

	20.2.5	 agrees that if the appointment of any person mentioned in clause 20.2.1 ceases to be effective, the Borrowers
shall immediately appoint a further person in England to accept service of process on its behalf in England and, failing such appointment within seven (7) days the Agent shall thereupon be entitled and is hereby irrevocably authorised by the
Borrowers in those circumstances to appoint such person by notice to the Borrowers. 

  

	20.3	 Forum non conveniens and enforcement abroad 

Each Borrower: 
  

	20.3.1	 waives any right and agrees not to apply to the English court or other court in any jurisdiction whatsoever to
stay or strike out any proceedings commenced in England on the ground that England is an inappropriate forum and/or that Proceedings have been or will be started in any other jurisdiction in connection with any dispute or related matter falling
within clause 20.1; and 

  

	20.3.2	 agrees that a judgment or order of an English court in a dispute or other matter falling within clause 20.1
shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and may be enforced against them in the courts of any other jurisdiction. 

  

	20.4	 Right of Security Trustee, but not Borrowers, to bring proceedings in any other jurisdiction

  

	20.4.1	 Nothing in this clause 20 limits the right of any Lender to bring Proceedings, including third party
proceedings, against any one or all Borrowers, or to apply for interim remedies, in connection with this Agreement in any other court and/or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction; 

 

	20.4.2	 the obtaining by any Lender of judgment in one jurisdiction shall not prevent such Lender from bringing or
continuing proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether or not these shall be founded on the same cause of action. 

  

	20.5	 Enforceability despite invalidity of Agreement 

Without prejudice to the generality of clause 13.9, the jurisdiction agreement contained in this clause 20 shall be severable from the rest of
this Agreement and shall remain valid, binding and in full force and shall continue to apply notwithstanding this Agreement or any part thereof being held to be avoided, rescinded, terminated, discharged, frustrated, invalid, unenforceable, illegal
and/or otherwise of no effect for any reason. 
  

	20.6	 Effect in relation to claims by and against non-parties

  

	20.6.1	 For the purpose of this clause “Foreign Proceedings” shall mean any Proceedings except proceedings
brought or pursued in England arising out of or in connection with (i) or in any way related to any of the Security Documents or any assets subject thereto or (ii) any action of any kind whatsoever taken by any Bank pursuant thereto or
which would, if brought by any or all of the Borrowers against the Banks, have been required to be brought in the English courts; 

  
 90 

	20.6.2	 no Borrower shall bring or pursue any Foreign Proceedings against any Bank and shall use its best endeavours to
prevent persons not party to this Agreement from bringing or pursuing any Foreign Proceedings against any Bank; 

  

	20.6.3	 If, for any reason whatsoever, any Security Party and/or any person connected howsoever with any Security Party
brings or pursues against any Bank any Foreign Proceedings, the Borrowers shall indemnify such Bank on demand in respect of any and all claims, losses, damages, demands, causes of action, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited
to, legal costs) of whatsoever nature howsoever arising from or in connection with such Foreign Proceedings which such Bank (or the Agent on its behalf) certifies as having been incurred by it; 

 

	20.6.4	 the Banks and the Borrowers hereby agree and declare that the benefit of this clause 20 shall extend to and may
be enforced by any officer, employee, agent or business associate of any of the Banks against whom a Borrower brings a claim in connection howsoever with any of the Security Documents or any assets subject thereto or any action of any kind
whatsoever taken by, or on behalf of or for the purported benefit of any Bank pursuant thereto or which, if it were brought against any Bank, would fall within the material scope of clause 20.1. In those circumstances this clause 20 shall be read
and construed as if references to any Bank were references to such officer, employee, agent or business associate, as the case may be.

has been served under Clause 5.8 (Notification of market disruption) prior to making the Loan).

shall be irrevocable; the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders or (as the case may require) the Affected Lender of the Borrower’s notice of intended prepayment; and:

market standards and be conducted with a view to reducing or eliminating, to the extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic value from one Party to another.

without prejudice to the obligation of the Parties pursuant to Clause 5.16(a) above, for any Interest Period starting after the Benchmark Discontinuation Date, LIBOR shall be replaced by the weighted average of the rates notified to the Agent by
each Lender two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of that Interest Period to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost the relevant Lender would have of funding an amount equal to its participation in the Loan
during the relevant Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select, and if such amount is less than zero then it shall be deemed to be zero. 

  

	(c)	 For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 5.7 (Market Disruption) shall not apply following the Benchmark

Borrower of each interest rate determined by the Agent under Clause 7.3 (Calculation of default rate of interest) above and of each period selected by the Agent for the purposes of paragraph (b) of that Clause; but this shall not be
taken to imply that the Borrower is liable to pay such interest only with effect from the date of the Agent’s notification.

under this Clause shall be paid on the last day of the period by reference to which it was determined; and the payment shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Creditor Party to which the overdue amount is due.

shall be reduced pro rata. 

  

	8.14	 Effect of notice of cancellation. The service of a cancellation notice given under Clause 8.13(b)

recognised and enforced in the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Borrower and each relevant Security Party, and any judgment obtained in England in relation to any such Finance Document will be recognised and enforced in the jurisdiction of

	21	 INDEMNITIES

Party on the Agent’s demand and the Security Trustee on its demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are made or brought against or incurred by that Creditor Party, or which that Creditor Party reasonably and with

	 	(a)	 the Loan not being borrowed on the date specified in the Drawdown Notice for any reason other than a default by
the Lender claiming the indemnity; 

  

	 	(b)	 the receipt or recovery of all or any part of the Loan or an overdue sum otherwise than on the last day of an
Interest Period or other relevant period; 

  

	 	(c)	 any failure (for whatever reason) by the Borrower to make payment of any amount due under a Finance Document on
the due date or, if so payable, on demand (after giving credit for any default interest paid by the Borrower on the amount concerned under Clause 7 (Default Interest)); 

 

	 	(d)	 the occurrence and/or continuance of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default and/or the

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

  
 65 

	21.3	 Miscellaneous indemnities. The Borrower shall fully indemnify each Creditor Party severally on their

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

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

claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which arise, or are asserted, under or in connection with any law relating to safety at sea, the ISM Code, the ISPS Code, the MARPOL Protocol or any Environmental Law. 

 

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

any arrangement involving it or otherwise; or 

  

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

 In this Clause 21.4 the “available
rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Creditor Party concerned is able at the opening of business (Rotterdam time) on the Business Day after it receives the sum concerned to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment
Currency. 
 This Clause 21.4 creates a separate liability of the Borrower which is distinct from their other liabilities under the Finance
Documents and which shall not be merged in any judgment or order relating to those other liabilities. 
  

	21.5	 Certification of amounts. A notice which is signed by 2 officers of a Creditor Party, which states that
a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Creditor Party under this Clause 21 and which indicates (without necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of which the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall be
prima facie evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due. 

  

	21.6	 Sums deemed due to a Lender. For the purposes of this Clause 21, a sum payable by the Borrower to the
Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender.

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

  

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

 

	22.3	 Evidence of payment of taxes. Within 1 month after making any tax deduction, the Borrower concerned
shall deliver to the Agent documentary evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the tax had been paid to the appropriate taxation authority. 

  

	22.4	 Exclusion of tax on overall net income. In this Clause 22 “tax deduction” means any
deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax except tax on a Creditor Party’s overall net income. 

  

	23	 ILLEGALITY, ETC 

 

	23.1	 Illegality. This Clause 23 applies if a Lender (the “Notifying Lender”) notifies the
Agent that it has become, or will with effect from a specified date, become:

for the Notifying Lender to maintain or give effect to any of its obligations under this Agreement in the manner contemplated by this
Agreement. 
  

	23.2	 Notification of illegality. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, the Security Parties, and each
of the Creditor Parties of the notice under Clause 23.1 (Illegality) which the Agent receives from the Notifying Lender. 

  

	23.3	 Prepayment; termination of Commitment. On the Agent notifying the Borrower under Clause 23.2
(Notification of illegality), the Notifying Lender’s Commitment shall terminate; and thereupon or, if later, on the date specified in the Notifying Lender’s notice under Clause 23.1 (Illegality) as the date on which the
notified event would become effective the Borrower shall prepay the Notifying Lender’s Contribution in accordance with Clause 8 (Repayment and Prepayment). 

  
 67 

	23.4	 Mitigation. If circumstances arise which would result in a notification under Clause 23.1
(Illegality) then, without in any way limiting the rights of the Notifying Lender under Clause 23.3 (Prepayment, termination of Commitment), the Notifying Lender shall use reasonable endeavours to transfer its obligations,
liabilities and rights under this Agreement and the Finance Documents to another office or financial institution not affected by the circumstances but the Notifying Lender shall not be under any obligation to take any such action if, in its opinion,
to do would or might: 

  

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

 

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

  

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

 

	24	 INCREASED COSTS 

 

	24.1	 Increased costs. This Clause 24 applies if a Lender (the “Notifying Lender”) notifies
the Agent that the Notifying Lender considers that as a result of: 

  

	 	(a)	 the introduction or alteration after the date of this Agreement of a law or an alteration after the date of
this Agreement in the manner in which a law is interpreted or applied (disregarding any effect which relates to the application to payments under this Agreement of a tax on the Lender’s overall net income); or 

 

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

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

 

	24.2	 Meaning of “increase cost”. In this Clause 24, “increased cost” means, in
relation to a Notifying Lender: 

  

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

  

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

  

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

 

	 	(d)	 an additional or increased cost of funding all or maintaining all or any part the Notifying Lender’s
Contributions or other unpaid sums or (as the case may require) the proportion of that cost attributable to the Contributions or other unpaid sums; or 

  
 68 

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

 but not an item attributable to a change in the rate of tax
on the overall net income of the Notifying Lender (or a parent company of it) or an item covered by the indemnity for tax in Clause 21.1 (Indemnities regarding borrowing any repayment of Loan) or by Clause 22 (No Set-Off or Tax Deduction). 
 For the purposes of this Clause 24.2 the Notifying Lender may in good
faith allocate or spread costs and/or losses among its assets and liabilities (or any class of its assets and liabilities) on such basis as it considers appropriate. 
  

	24.3	 Notification to Borrower of claim for increased costs. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and
the Security Parties of the notice which the Agent received from the Notifying Lender under Clause 24.1 (Increased Costs). 

  

	24.4	 Payment of increased costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on the Agent’s demand, for the
account of the Notifying Lender the amounts which the Agent from time to time notifies the Borrower that the Notifying Lender has specified to be necessary to compensate the Notifying Lender for the increased cost. 

 

	24.5	 Notice of prepayment; cancellation. If the Borrower is not willing to continue to compensate the
Notifying Lender for the increased cost under Clause 24.4 (Payment of increased costs), the Borrower may give the Agent not less than 14 days’ notice of their intention to: 

 

	 	(a)	 prepay the Notifying Lender’s Contribution at the end of an Interest Period; and/or 

 

	 	(b)	 cancel the Notifying Lender’s Available Commitment. 

 

	24.6	 Prepayment; termination of Commitment. A notice under Clause 24.5 (Notice of prepayment;
cancellation) shall be irrevocable; the Agent shall promptly notify the Notifying Lender of the Borrower’s notice of intended prepayment and/or cancellation; and: 

 

	 	(a)	 on the date on which the Agent serves that notice, the Available Commitment of the Notifying Lender shall be
cancelled; 

  

	 	(b)	 on the date specified in its notice of intended prepayment, the Borrower shall prepay (without premium or
penalty) the Notifying Lender’s Contribution, together with accrued interest thereon at the applicable rate plus the Margin. 

  

	25	 SET-OFF 

 

	25.1	 Application of credit balances. Each Creditor Party may, following the occurrence of an Event of Default
which is continuing, without prior notice: 

  

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

 

	 	(b)	 for that purpose: 

  

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

  
 69 

	 	(ii)	 convert or translate all or any part of a deposit or other credit balance into Dollars; and

  

	 	(iii)	 enter into any other transaction or make any entry with regard to the credit balance which the Creditor Party
concerned considers appropriate. 

  

	25.2	 Existing rights unaffected. No Creditor Party shall be obliged to exercise any of its rights under
Clause 25.1 (Application of credit balances); and those rights shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, charge, lien or other right or remedy to which
a Creditor Party is entitled (whether under the general law or any document). 

  

	25.3	 Sums deemed due to a Creditor Party. For the purposes of this Clause 25, a sum payable by the Borrower
to the Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to, or for the account of, any Creditor Party shall be treated as a sum due to that Creditor Party; and each Creditor Party’s proportion of a sum so payable for distribution to, or for the
account of, the Creditor Parties shall be treated as a sum due to such Creditor Party. 

  

	25.4	 No Security Interest. This Clause 25 gives the Creditor Parties a contractual right of set-off only, and does not create any equitable charge or other Security Interest over any credit balance of the Borrower. 

  

	26	 TRANSFERS AND CHANGES IN LENDING AND BOOKING OFFICES 

 

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

  

	26.2	 Transfer by a Lender. Subject to Clause 26.4 (Effective Date of Transfer
Certificate), a Lender (the “Transferor Lender”) may, (i) if such transfer is to any bank or financial institution affiliated to a Lender or if such transfer is made while an Event of Default is continuing, without the
consent of the Borrower or (ii) if such transfer is to any arm’s length bank or financial institution, with the prior consent of the Borrower, (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time, cause:

  

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

 

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

 

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

to be (in the case of its rights) transferred to, or (in the case of its obligations) assumed by, another bank or financial institution (a
“Transferee Lender”) by delivering to the Agent a completed certificate in the form set out in Schedule 4 with any modifications approved or required by the Agent (a “Transfer Certificate”) executed by the
Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender. 
 However any rights and obligations of the Transferor Lender in its capacity as Agent or
Security Trustee will have to be dealt with separately in accordance with the Agency and Trust Deed. 
  

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

  

	 	(a)	 sign the Transfer Certificate on behalf of itself, the Borrower, the Security Parties and each of the Creditor
Parties; 

  
 70 

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

  

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

  

	26.4	 Effective Date of Transfer Certificate. A Transfer Certificate becomes effective on the date, if any,
specified in the Transfer Certificate as its effective date, Provided that it is signed by the Agent under Clause 26.3 (Transfer Certificate, delivery and notification) on or before that date. 

 

	26.5	 No transfer without Transfer Certificate. No assignment or transfer of any right or obligation of a
Lender under any Finance Document is binding on, or effective in relation to, the Borrower, any Security Party, the Agent or the Security Trustee unless it is effected, evidenced or perfected by a Transfer Certificate. 

 

	26.6	 Lender re-organisation; waiver of Transfer Certificate. However,
if a Lender enters into any merger, de-merger or other reorganisation as a result of which all its rights or obligations vest in another person (the “successor”), the Agent may, if it sees
fit, by notice to the successor and the Borrower and the Security Trustee waive the need for the execution and delivery of a Transfer Certificate; and, upon service of the Agent’s notice, the successor shall become a Lender with the same
Commitment and Contribution as were held by the predecessor Lender. 

  

	26.7	 Effect of Transfer Certificate. A Transfer Certificate takes effect in accordance with English law as
follows: 

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

  
 71 

	 	(f)	 the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to all the rights under the Finance Documents which are applicable to
the Lenders generally, including but not limited to those relating to the Majority Lenders and those under Clause 5.7 (Market disruption) and Clause 20 (Expenses), and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such
rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be entitled to them; and 

  

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

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

	26.8	 Maintenance of register of Lenders. During the Security Period the Agent shall maintain a register in
which it shall record the name, Commitment, Contribution and administrative details (including the lending office) from time to time of each Lender holding a Transfer Certificate and the effective date (in accordance with Clause 26.4 (Effective
Date of Transfer Certificate) of the Transfer Certificate; and the Agent shall make the register available for inspection by any Creditor Party and the Borrower during normal banking hours, subject to receiving at least 3 Business Days prior
notice. 

  

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

  

	26.10	 Authorisation of Agent to sign Transfer Certificates. The Borrower and each Creditor Party irrevocably
authorise the Agent to sign Transfer Certificates on its behalf. 

  

	26.11	 Registration fee. In respect of any Transfer Certificate, the Agent shall be entitled to recover a
registration fee of $1,000 from the Transferor Lender or (at the Agent’s option) the Transferee Lender. 

  

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

 

	26.13	 Disclosure of information. A Lender may disclose to a potential Transferee Lender or sub-participant any information which the Lender has received in relation to the Borrower, any Security Party or their affairs under or in connection with any Finance Document, unless the information is clearly of a
confidential nature. 

 Without prejudice to the above, the Borrower irrevocably authorises each Creditor Party to give,
divulge and reveal from time to time information and details relating to its accounts, the Finance Documents and the facilities granted pursuant thereto to any authorities, each Creditor Party’s head office, branches and affiliates, any other
parties to the Finance Documents and any person regarding any funding, operational arrangement or other transaction in relation thereto, including without limitation, for purposes in connection with any enforcement or assignment or transfer of any
of the Creditor Parties’ rights and obligations. This authorisation shall survive and continue in full force and effect for the benefit of each Creditor Party notwithstanding the repayment, cancellation or termination of the Loan or any part
thereof and/or the termination of one or more types of banker-customer relationships between any Security Party and the relevant Creditor Party. 

  
 72 

	26.14	 Change of lending or booking office. A Lender may, at its own cost, change its lending or booking
office, as the case may be, by giving notice to the Agent and the change shall become effective on the later of: 

  

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

 

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

 provided that the Borrower shall bear no additional obligations as a result of such change in lending office. 

On receiving such a notice, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Security Trustee; and, until the Agent receives such a notice, it shall
be entitled to assume that a Lender is acting through the lending or booking office, as the case may be, of which the Agent last had notice. 
  

	26.15	 Replacement of Reference Bank. If any Reference Bank ceases to be a Lender or is unable on a continuing
basis to supply quotations for the purposes of Clause 5 (Interest) then, unless the Borrower, the Agent and the Majority Lenders otherwise agree, the Agent, acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and after consulting the
Borrower, shall appoint another bank (whether or not a Lender) to be a replacement Reference Bank; and, when that appointment comes into effect, the first-mentioned Reference Bank’s appointment shall
cease to be effective. 

  

	26.16	 Confidential Information Each Creditor Party agrees to keep all Confidential Information
confidential and not to disclose it to anyone, save to the extent permitted by Clause 26.17 (Disclosure of Confidential Information) and Clause 26.18 (Disclosure to numbering service providers), and to ensure that all Confidential
Information is protected with security measures and a degree of care that would apply to its own confidential information.

notice would be deemed to be served: 

  

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

 

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

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

 

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

  

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

  

	28.7	 English language. Any notice under or in connection with a Finance Document shall be in English.

  

	28.8	 Meaning of “notice”. In this Clause 28, “notice” includes any demand,

	29	 PARALELL DEBT 

 

	29.1	 Parallel Debt 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Finance Documents, the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the
Security Trustee, as creditor in its own right and not as representative of the other Creditor Parties, sums equal to and in the currency of each amount payable by the Borrower and any Security Party to any Creditor Party under any Finance Document
as and when that amount falls due for payment under the relevant Finance Document or would have fallen due but for any discharge resulting from failure of another Creditor Party to take appropriate steps, in insolvency proceedings affecting that
Borrower, to preserve its entitlement to be paid that amount (the “Parallel Debt”). 

  
 79 

 The Security Trustee shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts
payable by the Borrower under this Clause 29.1, irrespective of any discharge of the Borrower and/or any Security Party’s obligation to pay those amounts to the other Creditor Parties resulting from failure by them to take appropriate steps, in
insolvency proceedings affecting that Borrower and/or any Security Party, to preserve their entitlement to be paid those amounts. 
 Any
amount due and payable by the Borrower to the Security Trustee under this Clause 29.1 shall be decreased to the extent that the other Creditor Parties have received (and are able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other
provisions of the Finance Documents and any amount due and payable by the Borrower and/or a Security Party to the other Creditor Parties under those provisions shall be decreased to the extent the Security Trustee has received (and is able to
retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under this Clause 29.1. 
 The Borrower and the Creditor Parties acknowledge that, in
respect of the Parallel Debt, the Security Trustee acts in its own name and not as representative of the Creditor Parties or any of them. 
  

	30	 SUPPLEMENTAL 

  

	30.1	 Rights cumulative, non-exclusive. The rights and remedies which
the Finance Documents give to each Creditor Party are: 

  

	 	(a)	 cumulative; 

  

	 	(b)	 may be exercised as often as appears expedient; and 

 

	 	(c)	 shall not, unless a Finance Document explicitly and specifically states so, be taken to exclude or limit any
right or remedy conferred by any law. 

  

	30.2	 Severability of provisions. If any provision of a Finance Document is or subsequently becomes void,
unenforceable or illegal, that shall not affect the validity, enforceability or legality of the other provisions of that Finance Document or of the provisions of any other Finance Document. 

 

	30.3	 Counterparts. A Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts. 

 

	30.4	 Third party rights. A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts
(Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or to enjoy the benefit of any term of this Agreement. 

  

	31	 LAW AND JURISDICTION 

 

	31.1	 English law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law.

  
 80 

	31.2	 Exclusive English jurisdiction. Subject to Clause 31.3 (Choice of forum for the exclusive benefit of
the Creditor Parties), the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement. 

 

	31.3	 Choice of forum for the exclusive benefit of the Creditor Parties. Clause 31.2 (Exclusive English
jurisdiction) is for the exclusive benefit of the Creditor Parties, each of which reserves the right: 

  

	 	(a)	 to commence proceedings in relation to any matter which arises out of or in connection with this Agreement in
the courts of any country other than England and which have or claim jurisdiction to that matter; and 

  

	 	(b)	 to commence such proceedings in the courts of any such country or countries concurrently with or in addition to
proceedings in England or without commencing proceedings in England. 

 The Borrower shall not commence any proceedings in
any country other than England in relation to a matter which arises out of or in connection with this Agreement. 
  

	31.4	 Process agent. The Borrower irrevocably appoints Hill Dickinson LLP at present of Broadgate Tower, 20
Primrose Street, London EC2A 2EW, England to act as its agent to receive and accept on its behalf any process or other document relating to any proceedings in the English courts which are connected with this Agreement. 

 

	31.5	 Creditor Party rights unaffected. Nothing in this Clause 31 (Law and Jurisdiction) shall exclude
or limit any right which any Creditor Party may have (whether under the law of any country, an international convention or otherwise) with regard to the bringing of proceedings, the service of process, the recognition or enforcement of a judgment or
any similar or related matter in any jurisdiction. 

  

	31.6	 Meaning of “proceedings”. In this Clause 31, “proceedings” means proceedings
of any kind, including an application for a provisional or protective measure. 

 THIS AGREEMENT has been entered into on the date
stated at the beginning of this Agreement.
