	 	(c)	 the amount in Dollars equal to 60% of the market value of such Additional Ship as evidenced by the valuation of such Additional Ship made under schedule 3,
Part 3; and 

  

	 	(d)	 the balance of the Total Commitment not already made available (whether drawn or not) under any other Advance. 

 

	2.5.6	 No Additional Advance shall be made available unless the Initial Advance has been made available and (whether partly or fully) drawn down.

  

	2.5.7	 There shall be no more than two (2) Additional Advances available under this Agreement. 

 

	2.5.8	 If the Borrowers wish the Banks to make available an Additional Advance under this Agreement, then the Borrowers shall submit a request to the Agent in
writing (a “Request”) advising the Agent: 

  

	 	(a)	 of a proposed Additional Ship, its name, teu, dead-weight tonnage, year of built, classification, current ownership, proposed employment, existing and
proposed flag, place of delivery, the proposed Additional Borrower that intends to purchase it, the proposed acquisition cost and the proposed date of delivery under the proposed Contract for such Additional Ship and any other technical features and
characteristics of that Additional Ship or any other information or data relevant to it, as may be requested by the Agent in its sole discretion; and 

  
 19 

	 	(b)	 the proposed amount of the Additional Advance to be made available for such proposed Additional Ship, which shall be of an amount not exceeding 60% of the
acquisition cost thereof under the proposed Contract for such Additional Ship, 

 as soon as practically possible
before the date when it is intended that the relevant Additional Borrower enters into the relevant proposed Contract for such proposed Additional Ship. The Borrowers shall not submit a Request for a proposed Additional Ship unless they genuinely
believe that, at the time of the submission of the relevant Request and at the time of its intended acquisition, such Additional Ship is and will be a ship of the Approved Type. 

 

	2.5.9	 The Agent will, as soon as reasonably possible but in any event not later than thirty (30) Banking Days after the Borrowers’ Request in respect of
a proposed Additional Ship, notify the Borrowers in writing as to whether the Request has been accepted or declined by the Agent. The Agent shall not accept a Request for an Additional Ship which is not, and will not be, a ship of the Approved Type,
both at the time of submission of the Request and at the time of its proposed acquisition by the proposed Additional Borrower under the relevant Contract. 

  

	2.5.10	 When the Agent advises the Borrowers that it accepts a Request in respect of an Additional Ship, it shall also notify the Borrowers in writing of the maximum
amount (in accordance with the other provisions of this clause 2.5) of the Total Commitment the Banks shall make available to the Borrowers under the Additional Advance for such Additional Ship and, for the purposes of this Agreement, such amount
advised by the Agent, shall be the part of the Total Commitment relating to, and available to the Borrowers under, such Additional Advance. The Agent shall include in the same notice to the Borrowers, the amount (calculated and determined by the
Agent in its sole discretion in accordance with clause 4.1.2) of each repayment instalment for such Additional Advance which shall be payable in accordance with clause 4.1.2 (but which calculation shall be based on a 15-year repayment profile
(inclusive of any final balloon payment) with the final repayment instalment falling due in any event on the Additional Advance Final Repayment Date for such Additional Advance). 

 

	2.5.11	 Any notice given by the Agent under clause 2.5.10 advising the Borrowers of (a) the amount of the Total Commitment in respect of an Additional Advance
and (b) of the number and amount of the repayment instalments for such Additional Advance, shall constitute supplemental terms of this Agreement and an integral part hereof and shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

  

	2.5.12	 The Borrowers shall be entitled, by written notice to the Agent given prior to the giving of the Drawdown Notice in respect of an Additional Advance, to
cancel that Additional Advance, whereupon the relevant Additional Advance shall be cancelled (but the Total Commitment in respect thereof shall continue to be available subject always to the other provisions of this Agreement).

  

	2.5.13	 Each Advance: 

  

	 	(a)	 shall be applied in or towards payment to the relevant Seller of such part of the Contract Price for the Ship relevant to such Advance, which is payable on
the Delivery Date for that Ship; 

  

	 	(b)	 shall be drawn down only once the part of such Contract Price has become due and payable; and 

 

	 	(c)	 shall be paid by the Banks to the relevant Seller directly, unless the relevant Borrower has already paid such part of the Contract Price to the relevant
Seller when it was due, in which case the relevant Advance (or part thereof) shall be advanced to the Borrowers. 

  

	2.5.14	 Each Advance shall be made available in a simple drawdown. 

  
 20 

	  2.6	 Availability 

Upon receipt of a Drawdown Notice complying with the terms of this Agreement the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank and, subject to
the provisions of clause 9, on the Drawdown Date for the relevant Advance, each Bank shall make available to the Agent its portion of such Advance for payment by the Agent in accordance with clause 6.2. The Borrowers acknowledge that
payment of any Advance or part thereof to a Seller, in accordance with clause 6.2, shall satisfy the obligations of the Banks to lend such Advance or part thereof to the Borrowers. 

 

	  2.7	 Termination of Total Commitment 

Any part of the Total Commitment in respect of an Advance which remains undrawn and uncancelled by the end of the Termination Date for
the relevant Advance shall thereupon be automatically cancelled. 
  

	  2.8	 Application of proceeds 

Without prejudice to the Borrowers’ obligations under clause 8.1.3, none of the Creditors shall have any responsibility for
the application of the proceeds of the Loan or part thereof by the Borrowers. 
  

	  2.9	 Derivative transactions 

  

	2.9.1	 If, at any time during the Security Period, the Borrowers wish to enter into interest rate swap or other derivative transactions so as to hedge all or any
part of their exposure under this Agreement to interest rate fluctuations, they shall advise the Swap Provider in writing. 

  

	2.9.2	 Any such swap or other derivative transaction shall be concluded with the Swap Provider under the Master Swap Agreement provided however that no such swap or
other derivative transaction shall be concluded unless the Swap Provider first agrees to it in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, other than the Swap Provider’s agreement in writing referred to in the preceding sentence no prior approval is
required by the Borrowers from any other Creditor before concluding any such transaction. If and when any such swap or other derivative transaction has been concluded, it shall constitute a Designated Transaction, and the Borrowers shall sign a
Confirmation with the Swap Provider and advise the Banks through the Agent promptly after concluding any Designated Transaction. 

  

	    3	  Interest and Interest Periods 

  

	  3.1	 Normal interest rate 

  

	3.1.1	 Normal interest rate 

The Borrowers shall pay interest on each Advance 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 instalment three (3) months from the commencement of the Interest Period and the subsequent instalments at intervals of three (3) months or, if
shorter, the period from the date of the preceding instalment until the Interest Payment Date relative to such Interest Period) at the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be the aggregate of (a) the Margin, (b) LIBOR for such
Interest Period and (c) Mandatory Cost (if any). 
  

	3.1.2	 Determination of Margin 

  

	 	(a)	 The Agent shall calculate and determine the Margin (having regard to the definition of “Margin” in clause 1.2) at any time when required by it but
(i) only on Quarter Dates (or within five (5) Banking Days following a Quarter Date) and (ii) in any event not more frequently than on each Quarter Date (or within five (5) Banking Days after each Quarter Date) of each calendar
year. Following each determination by the Agent, the Margin so 

  
 21 

	 	 
determined will apply to the Loan as of the Quarter Date on or around which the relevant determination was made. 

 

	 	(b)	 In the event that the Agent has elected not to make a determination of Margin on a particular Quarter Date, then the Borrowers shall be entitled to request
that such determination is made by the Agent, provided that, not later than 5 Banking Days after the relevant Quarter Date: 

  

	 	(i)	 they make a relevant request to the Agent in writing; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 they supply to the Agent with valuations of the Mortgaged Ships addressed to the Agent and otherwise made in all respects in the manner set out in clause
8.2.2 at the cost and expense of the Borrowers. 

 In that case, the Agent will calculate and determine the Margin
which will apply retroactively from the relevant Quarter Date in respect of which the Borrowers requested a determination. 
  

	 	(c)	 The Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Banks of any determination of the Margin made by it under this clause 3.1.2 and, once made, each such
determination shall (in the absence of manifest error) be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement. 

  

	3.2	 Selection of Interest Periods 

The Borrowers may by notice received by the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the third Banking Day before the beginning of each
Interest Period specify whether such Interest Period shall have a duration of one (1), three (3), six (6), nine (9) or twelve (12) months or such other period (shorter than twelve (12) months) as the Borrowers may select and the Agent
(acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) may agree. 
  

	3.3	 Determination of Interest Periods 

Every Interest Period shall be of the duration specified by the Borrowers pursuant to clause 3.2 but so that: 

 

	3.3.1	 the initial Interest Period in respect of each Advance shall commence on the Drawdown Date for such Advance and each subsequent Interest Period for such
Advance shall commence on the last day of the previous Interest Period for such Advance; 

  

	3.3.2	 if any Interest Period for an Advance would otherwise overrun a Repayment Date for such Advance, then, in the case of the last Repayment Date for such
Advance, such Interest Period shall end on such Repayment Date, and in the case of any other Repayment Date or Repayment Dates for such Advance, 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 for such Advance falling during that Interest Period and having an Interest Period ending on the relevant Repayment Date and another part in the amount of the balance of the relevant Advance having an
Interest Period ascertained in accordance with clause 3.2 and the other provisions of this clause 3.3; and 

  

	3.3.3	 if the Borrowers fail to specify the duration of an Interest Period in accordance with the provisions of clause 3.2 and this clause 3.3 such
Interest Period shall have a duration of three (3) months or such other period as shall comply with this clause 3.3. 

  

	3.4	 Default interest 

If the Borrowers or any of them fail to pay any sum (including, without limitation, any sum payable pursuant to this clause 3.4) on
its due date for payment under any of the Security Documents (except the Master Swap Agreement), the Borrowers shall pay interest on such sum on demand from the due date up to the date of actual payment (as well after as before

  
 22 

 
judgment) at a rate determined by the Agent pursuant to this clause 3.4. The period beginning on such due date and ending on such date of payment shall be divided into successive periods of
not more than six (6) months as selected by the Agent each of which (other than the first, which shall commence on such due date) shall commence 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, (c) LIBOR for such period and (d) the Mandatory Cost (if any). Such interest shall be due and payable on the last day of
each such period as determined by the Agent and each such day shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be treated as an Interest Payment Date, provided that if such unpaid sum is an amount of principal which became due and payable by reason of a
declaration by the Agent under clause 10.2.2 or a prepayment pursuant to clauses 4.3, 8.2.1 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 duration 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 3.6.1, the Agent is unable to determine a rate in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause 3.4, each Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of
the cost of funds to such Bank 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 cost of funds to
such Bank (including Mandatory Costs, if any). 
  

	3.5	 Notification of Interest Periods and interest rate 

The Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Banks promptly of the duration of each Interest Period and of each rate of interest (or, as
the case may be default interest) determined by it under this clause 3. 
  

	3.6	 Market disruption; non-availability 

  

	3.6.1	 If and whenever, at any time prior to the commencement of any Interest Period: 

 

	 	(a)	 the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive) that adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining LIBOR during such Interest Period; or 

  

	 	(b)	 where applicable, none of the Reference Banks supplies the Agent with a quotation for the purpose of calculating LIBOR; or 

 

	 	(c)	 the Agent shall have received notification from Banks whose aggregate Contributions are not less than one-third
(1/3rd) of the Loan (or, prior to the first Drawdown Date, whose aggregate Commitments are not less than one-third (1/3rd) of the Total Commitment), that deposits in Dollars are not available to such Banks in the London Interbank Market in the ordinary
course of business in sufficient amounts to fund their Commitments or their Contributions for such Interest Period, or that LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to such Banks of obtaining such deposits, 

the Agent shall forthwith give notice (a “Determination Notice”) thereof to the Borrowers and to each of the
Banks and the Swap Provider. A Determination Notice shall contain particulars of the relevant circumstances giving rise to its issue. After the giving of any Determination Notice the undrawn amount of the Total Commitment shall not be borrowed until
notice to the contrary is given to the Borrowers by the Agent. 
  

	3.6.2	 During the period of ten (10) days after any Determination Notice has been given by the Agent under clause 3.6.1, each Bank shall certify an
alternative basis (the “Alternative Basis”) for funding its Commitment or for maintaining its Contribution. The Alternative Basis may at the relevant Bank’s sole and unfettered discretion (without limitation) include
alternative interest periods, alternative currencies or alternative rates of interest but shall include a margin above the cost of funds to such Bank equivalent to the Margin. The Agent shall calculate the arithmetic mean of the Alternative Basis
provided by the relevant Banks 

  
 23 

	 	 
(the “Substitute Basis”) and certify the same to the Borrowers, the Banks and the Swap Provider. The Substitute Basis so certified shall be binding upon the Borrowers and shall
take effect in accordance with its terms from the date specified in the Determination Notice until such time as the Agent notifies the Borrowers that none of the circumstances specified in clause 3.6.1 continues to exist whereupon the normal
interest rate fixing provisions of this Agreement shall apply. 

  

	3.7	 Reference Bank quotations 

If any Reference Bank is unable or otherwise fails to furnish a quotation for the purposes of calculating LIBOR, the interest rate shall
be determined, subject to clause 3.6, on the basis of quotations furnished by the other Reference Banks (if any). 
  

	  4	  Repayment and prepayment 

  

	4.1	 Repayment 

  

	4.1.1	 The Borrowers shall repay the Initial Advance by twenty eight (28) repayment instalments, one such instalment to be repaid on each of the Repayment
Dates for such Advance. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the amount of each of the first to fourth instalments (inclusive) for such Advance shall be One million two hundred thousand Dollars ($1,200,000), the amount of each of the fifth
to the twenty seventh instalments (inclusive) for such Advance shall be Seven hundred thousand Dollars ($700,000) and the amount of the twenty eighth and final instalment for such Advance shall be Twenty three million one hundred thousand Dollars
($23,100,000) (comprising a repayment instalment of Seven hundred thousand Dollars ($700,000) and a balloon payment of Twenty two million four hundred thousand Dollars ($22,400,000)). 

 

	4.1.2	 The Borrowers shall repay each Additional Advance by as many repayment instalments as there are Repayment Dates for such Additional Advance, one such
instalment to be repaid on each of the Repayment Dates for such Additional Advance. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the amount of each such repayment instalment for an Additional Advance (including a balloon payment payable on the
final Repayment Date for such Advance) shall be determined by the Agent and notified by the Agent to the Borrowers in writing, and will be that contained in the Agent’s notice for such Additional Advance referred to in clause 2.5.10.

  

	4.1.3	 If the Total Commitment in respect of any Advance or part thereof is not drawn down in full, the amount of each repayment instalment in respect of such
Advance (including the relevant Balloon Instalment) shall be reduced proportionately. 

  

	4.2	 Voluntary prepayment 

The Borrowers may prepay any Advance in whole or part (being an amount equal to any repayment instalment in respect of such Advance or
any larger sum which is an integral multiple of any such amount), on any Interest Payment Date relating to the Advance to be prepaid without premium or penalty. 
  

	4.3	 Cancellation of Commitments and prepayment on Total Loss or sale 

 

	4.3.1	 Initial Ship - before drawdown 

On the Initial Ship becoming a Total Loss (or suffering damage or being involved in an incident which in the opinion of the Agent may
result in such Initial Ship being subsequently determined to be a Total Loss) before the Initial Advance is drawn down, the obligations of the Banks to make any Advance available shall immediately cease and the Total Commitment shall be immediately
reduced to zero. 

  
 24 

	4.3.2	 Mortgaged Ships 

 On
the date falling one hundred and twenty (120) days after that on which a Mortgaged Ship became a Total Loss or, if earlier, on the date upon which the insurance proceeds in respect of such Total Loss are, or Requisition Compensation (as defined
in the relevant Ship Security Documents) is, received by the relevant Borrower (or the Security Agent pursuant to the relevant Ship Security Documents), or on the date of the sale (but immediately prior to the completion of such sale) of a Mortgaged
Ship, the Borrowers shall prepay (a) the outstanding Advance relevant to that Ship in full and (b) such other part of the Loan as may be required by the Agent if an Event of Default has occurred at that time). 

 

	4.3.3	 Interpretation 

 For
the purpose of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, a Total Loss in respect of a Ship shall be deemed to have occurred: 
  

	 	(a)	 in the case of an actual total loss of a Ship, on the actual date and at the time such Ship was lost or, if such date is not known, on the date on which such
Ship was last reported; 

  

	 	(b)	 in the case of a constructive total loss of a Ship, upon the date and at the time notice of abandonment of such Ship is given to the insurers of such Ship
for the time being; 

  

	 	(c)	 in the case of a compromised or arranged total loss of a Ship, on the date upon which a binding agreement as to such compromised or arranged total loss has
been entered into by the insurers of such Ship; 

  

	 	(d)	 in the case of Compulsory Acquisition of a Ship, on the date upon which the relevant requisition of title or other compulsory acquisition of such Ship
occurs; and 

  

	 	(e)	 in the case of hijacking, theft, condemnation, capture, seizure, arrest, detention or confiscation of a Ship (other than where the same amounts to Compulsory
Acquisition of such Ship) by any person or persons (including any Government Entity, or by persons purporting to act on behalf of any Government Entity), which deprives the relevant Borrower of the use of such Ship for more than thirty
(30) days, upon the expiry of the period of thirty (30) days after the date upon which the relevant hijacking, theft, condemnation, capture, seizure, arrest, detention or confiscation occurred. 

 

	4.4	 Amounts payable on prepayment 

Any prepayment of all or part of the Loan under this Agreement shall be made together with: 

 

	 	(a)	 accrued interest on the amount to be prepaid to the date of such prepayment; 

 

	 	(b)	 any additional amount payable under clauses 6.6 or 12.2; and 

 

	 	(c)	 all other sums payable by the Borrowers to the Creditors under this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents including, without limitation, any
amounts payable under clause 11.1. 

  

	4.5	 Notice of prepayment; reduction of repayment instalments 

  

	4.5.1	 No prepayment may be effected under clause 4.2 unless the Borrowers shall have given the Agent at least five (5) Banking Days’ prior written
notice of their intention to make such prepayment. Every notice of prepayment shall be effective only on actual receipt by the Agent, shall be irrevocable, shall specify the Advance and the amount thereof to be prepaid and shall oblige the Borrowers
to make such prepayment on the date specified. 

  

	4.5.2	 Any amount prepaid pursuant to clause 4.2 in respect of an Advance shall be applied in reducing the repayment instalments of the relevant Advance
(including, where applicable, the 

  
 25 

	 	 
relevant Balloon Instalment) under clause 4.1 whether in chronological or in inverse order of their due dates of payment, or proportionately, at the Borrowers’ option.

  

	4.5.3	 Any amount prepaid pursuant to clause 4.3.2(b) or clause 8.2.1(a) shall be applied in prepayment of all Advances proportionately as between them and in
reduction of the repayment instalments of each Advance (including the relevant Balloon Instalments) in inverse order of their due dates of payment. 

  

	4.5.4	 The Borrowers may not prepay the Loan or any part thereof save as expressly provided in this Agreement. 

 

	4.5.5	 No amount prepaid under this Agreement may be re-borrowed. 

  

	   4.6	 Unwinding of Designated Transactions 

On or prior to any repayment or prepayment of all or part of the Loan (including, without limitation, pursuant to clauses 4.2, 4.3 or
8.2.1), the Borrowers shall upon the request of the Swap Provider wholly or partially reverse, offset, unwind, cancel, close out, net out or otherwise terminate one or more of the continuing Designated Transactions so that the notional principal
amount of the continuing Designated Transactions thereafter remaining does not and will not in the future (taking into account the scheduled amortisation) exceed the amount of the Loan as reducing from time to time thereafter pursuant to clause 4.1.

  

	    5	  Fees and expenses 

  

	  5.1	 Fees 

 The
Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Arranger, an arrangement fee of such amount and payable at such times as is specified in the Fee Letter. Such fee shall be non-refundable and shall be payable by the Borrowers, whether or not
any part of the Total Commitment is ever advanced. 
  

	  5.2	 Expenses 

 The
Borrowers shall pay to the Agent on a full indemnity basis on demand: 
  

	5.2.1	 all expenses (including legal, printing and out-of-pocket expenses)
reasonably incurred by the Creditors or any of them in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and, where relevant, registration of the Security Documents and of any amendment or extension of or the granting of any waiver or consent
under, any of the Security Documents, the syndication of the Loan and/or the securitisation of the Loan and any or all of the Security Documents; and 

  

	5.2.2	 all expenses (including legal, printing and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred
by the Creditors or any of them in contemplation of, or otherwise in connection with, the enforcement of, or preservation of any rights under, any of the Security Documents, or otherwise in respect of the moneys owing under any of the Security
Documents, 

 together with interest at the rate referred to in clause 3.4 from the date on which such expenses
were incurred to the date of payment (as well after as before judgment). 
  

	  5.3	 Value added tax 

All fees and expenses payable pursuant to this clause 5 and/or pursuant to the Security Documents shall be paid together with value
added tax or any similar tax (if any) properly chargeable thereon. Any value added tax chargeable in respect of any services supplied by the Creditors or any of them under this Agreement shall, on delivery of the value added tax invoice, be paid in
addition to any sum agreed to be paid hereunder. 

  
 26 

	  5.4	 Stamp and other duties 

The Borrowers shall pay all stamp, documentary, registration or other like duties or taxes (including any duties or taxes payable by, or
assessed on, the Creditors or any of them) imposed on or in connection with any of the Underlying Documents, the Security Documents or the Loan and shall indemnify the Creditors or any of them against any liability arising by reason of any delay or
omission by the Borrowers to pay such duties or taxes. 
  

	    6	  Payments and taxes; accounts and calculations 

  

	  6.1	 No set-off or counterclaim 

The Borrowers acknowledge that in performing their respective obligations under this Agreement, the Banks will be incurring liabilities
to third parties in relation to the funding of amounts to the Borrowers, such liabilities matching the liabilities of the Borrowers to the Banks and that it is reasonable for the Banks to be entitled to receive payments from the Borrowers gross on
the due date in order that each of the Banks is put in a position to perform its matching obligations to the relevant third parties. All payments to be made by the Borrowers under any of the Security Documents shall be made in full, without any set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and, subject as provided in clause 6.6, free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in Dollars on the due date to such account at such bank and in such place as the
Agent may from time to time specify for this purpose. Save for payments which are for the account of the Swap Provider and save as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any relevant Security Documents such payments shall be for the account of all
Banks and the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent shall distribute such payments in like funds as are received by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent to the Banks rateably in accordance with their respective Commitment
or (if after the first drawdown) Contribution, as the case may be. 
  

	  6.2	 Payment by the Banks 

All sums to be advanced by the Banks to the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be remitted in Dollars on the Drawdown Date for the
relevant Advance to the account of the Agent at such bank as the Agent may have notified to the Banks and shall be paid by the Agent to such account as is specified in the Drawdown Notice for such Advance. 

 

	  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	 Certificates conclusive 

Any certificate or determination of the Agent or the Security Agent or any Bank or the Swap Provider as to any rate of interest or any
other amount pursuant to and for the purposes of any of the Security Documents shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and (in the case of a certificate or determination by the Agent or the Security Agent)
on the other Creditors. 
  

	  6.6	 Grossing-up for Taxes 

  

	6.6.1	 If at any time the Borrowers are required to make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under any of the Security Documents
for the account of any 

  
 27 

	 	 
Creditor (or if the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent is required to make any such deduction or withholding from a payment to a Bank), the sum due from the Borrowers in respect of
such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the relevant Creditor 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 the Borrowers shall indemnify each Creditor against any losses or costs 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. The Borrowers shall promptly deliver to the Agent any receipts, certificates or other proof
evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or payable in respect of any deduction or withholding as aforesaid. 

  

	6.6.2	 For the avoidance of doubt, clause 6.6.1 does not apply in respect of sums due from the Borrowers to the Swap Provider under or in connection with the Master
Swap Agreement as to which sums the provisions of section 2(d) (Deduction or Withholding for Tax) of the Master Swap Agreement shall apply. 

  

	6.7	 Loan account 

Each Bank 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 Security Agent shall maintain a control account showing the Loan, interest and other sums owing and/or payable by the Borrowers under the Security Documents. 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. 
  

	6.8	 Agent may assume receipt 

Where any sum is to be paid under this Agreement to the Agent for the account of another person, the Agent may assume that the payment
will be made when due and 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, then the person to whom such sum was so made available shall on
request refund such sum to the Agent together with interest thereon sufficient to compensate the Agent for the cost of making available such sum up to the date of such repayment and the person by whom such sum was payable shall indemnify the Agent
for any and all loss or expense which the Agent may sustain or incur as a consequence of such sum not having been paid on its due date. 
  

	6.9	 Partial payments

time the following conditions are met and for as long as the same conditions continue to be met: 

  

	 	(a)	 the Additional Ship relevant to such Additional Advance is, at any relevant time, subject to an Approved Charter which results, when combined with the
relevant First Charter, in a combined consecutive tenor which overlaps chronologically with the entire remaining period from such relevant time until the Additional Final Repayment Date for such Additional Advance; and 

 

	 	(b)	 such Approved Charter (including if applicable the relevant First Charter) is duly executed and effective and the Borrowers are in compliance in all respects
with the provisions of clause 8.1.14 in connection with the same; and 

  

	 	(c)	 no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

shortfall. 

  

	8.4.5	 For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of the Borrowers under this clause 8.4 shall be separate and independent in connection with each Additional
Advance. 

  

	8.5	 Initial Cash Collateral Account

	 	(a)	 the amount of the Initial Advance, 

to 
  

	 	(b)	 the value of the Initial Ship (as most recently determined by the Agent pursuant to clause 8.2.2),

clause 8.5.1.

Borrowers will maintain in the Initial Cash Collateral Account an amount of $2,000,000 which is less than the minimum amount required under the foregoing provisions of this clause 8.5. The Creditors agree that for the period between such Drawdown
Date and the date falling 18 months thereafter (the “Grace Period”), the Borrowers shall not be in breach of the provisions of clause 8.5.1 solely on the grounds that during the Grace Period they maintain an amount lower than that
required under clause 8.5.1, if and for as long as the following conditions are met: 

  

	 	(a)	 the Borrowers continue to maintain during the Grace Period a minimum balance of not less than $2,000,000 in the Initial Cash Collateral Account; and

  

	 	(b)	 the Borrowers will transfer regularly and from time to time during the Grace Period from the Initial Operating Account to the Initial Cash Collateral Account
any cash surpluses as are necessary to ensure that the credit balance of the Initial Cash Collateral Account ensures that the Borrowers are in compliance with the minimum cash balance requirement set out in clause 8.5.1 as soon as possible after the
Drawdown Date of the Initial Advance, and in any event not later than the last day of the Grace Period; and 

  

	 	(c)	 during the Grace Period, the Borrowers do not make any withdrawals from the Initial Cash Collateral Account; and 

 

	 	(d)	 during the Grace Period, the Borrowers do not pay or declare any cash distributions which are otherwise permitted under the provisions of this Agreement
unless the Borrowers have in the meantime complied with the minimum cash balance requirement as set out in clause 8.5.1. 

  

	8.5.5	 The Agent shall test the Borrowers’ compliance under this clause 8.5 (taking into account the provisions of clause 8.5.4) on the Drawdown Date of the
Initial Advance, on the last day of the Grace Period, on the date falling 24 months after such Drawdown Date, and at twelve-monthly intervals thereafter. If on any such testing date, the Agent determines that the amount standing to the credit of the
Initial Cash Collateral Account, is lower than that required under the terms of this clause 8.5 (taking into account the provisions of clause 8.5.4), then the Borrowers shall, forthwith following the Agent’s request, transfer or procure the
transfer to the credit of the Initial Cash Collateral Account, of an amount equal to the shortfall. 

  

	  8.6	 Delivery under the Initial Ship First Charter

(i) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which the relevant Creditor 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 11.2 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. 
  

	11.3	 Environmental indemnity 

The Borrowers shall indemnify each Creditor on demand and hold it harmless from and against all costs, expenses, payments, charges,
losses, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings (whether civil or criminal), penalties, fines, damages, judgements, orders, sanctions or other outgoings of whatever nature which may be suffered, incurred or paid by, or made or asserted against
such Creditor at any time, whether before or after the repayment in full of principal and interest under this Agreement, relating to, or arising directly or indirectly in any manner or for any cause or reason whatsoever out of an Environmental Claim
made or asserted against such Creditor if such Environmental Claim would not have been, or been capable of being, made or asserted against such Creditor if it had not entered into any of the Security Documents and/or exercised any of its rights,
powers and discretions thereby conferred and/or performed any of its obligations thereunder and/or been involved in any of the transactions contemplated by the Security Documents. 

 

	11.4	 Central Bank or European Central Bank reserve requirements indemnity 

The Borrowers shall on demand promptly indemnify each Bank against any cost incurred or loss suffered by such Bank as a result of its
complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank and/or with respect to maintaining required reserves with the relevant national Central Bank to the extent that such compliance relates to the Bank’s Commitment or the
Loan or deposits obtained by it to fund or maintain the whole or part of the Loan and such cost or loss is not recoverable by such Bank under clause 12.2. 
  

	  12	 Unlawfulness and increased costs 

  

	12.1	 Unlawfulness 

If it is or becomes contrary to any law or regulation for any Bank to contribute to an Advance or to maintain its Commitment or fund its
Contribution, such Bank shall promptly, through the Agent, give notice to the Borrowers whereupon (a) such Bank’s Commitment shall be reduced to zero and (b) the Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay such Bank’s Contribution
either (i) forthwith or (ii) on a future specified date not being earlier than the latest date permitted by the relevant law or regulation together with interest accrued to the date of prepayment and all other sums payable by the Borrowers
under this Agreement and/or the Master Swap Agreement. 
  

	12.2	 Increased costs 

If the result of any change in, or in the interpretation or application of, or the introduction of, any Capital Adequacy Law or of
compliance by a Bank with any Capital Adequacy Law, is to: 
  

	12.2.1	 subject any Bank to Taxes or change the basis of Taxation of any Bank with respect to any payment under any of the Security Documents (other than Taxes or
Taxation on the overall net income, profits or gains of such Bank imposed in the jurisdiction in which its principal or lending office under this Agreement is located); and/or 

  
 48 

	12.2.2	 increase the cost to, or impose an additional cost on, any Bank or its holding company in making or keeping such Bank’s Commitment available or
maintaining or funding all or part of such Bank’s Contribution; and/or 

  

	12.2.3	 reduce the amount payable or the effective return to any Bank under any of the Security Documents; and/or 

 

	12.2.4	 reduce any Bank’s or its holding company’s rate of return on its overall capital by reason of a change in the manner in which it is required to
allocate capital resources to such Bank’s obligations under any of the Security Documents; and/or 

  

	12.2.5	 require any Bank or its holding company to make a payment or forego a return on or calculated by reference to any amount received or receivable by such Bank
under any of the Security Documents; and/or 

  

	12.2.6	 require any Bank or its holding company to incur or sustain a loss (including a loss of future potential profits) by reason of being obliged to deduct all or
part of its Commitment or the Loan from its capital for regulatory purposes, 

 then and in each such case (subject
to clause 12.3): 
  

	 	(a)	 such Bank shall (through the Agent) notify the Borrowers in writing of such event promptly upon its becoming aware of the same; and 

 

	 	(b)	 the Borrowers shall on demand made at any time whether or not such Bank’s Contribution has been repaid, pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank
the amount which such Bank specifies (in a certificate setting forth the basis of the computation of such amount but not including any matters which such Bank or its holding company regards as confidential) is required to compensate such Bank and/or
(as the case may be) its holding company for such liability to Taxes, cost, reduction, payment , forgone return or loss. 

For the purposes of this clause 12.2 “holding company” means, in relation to a Bank, the company or entity
(if any) within the consolidated supervision of which such Bank is included. 
  

	12.3	 Exception 

Nothing in clause 12 shall entitle any Bank to receive any amount in respect of 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. 
  

	  13	 Security, set-off and pro-rata payments 

 

	13.1	 Application of moneys 

All moneys received by the Agent and/or the Security Agent under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents and expressed to be
applicable in accordance with the provisions of this clause 13.1 shall be applied in the following manner: 
  

	13.1.1	 first, in or towards payment of all unpaid costs and expenses which may be owing to the Creditors or any of them under any of the Security Documents;

  

	13.1.2	 secondly, in or towards payment of any unpaid fees payable to the Creditors or any of them; 

 

	13.1.3	 thirdly, in or towards payment of any arrears of interest owing in respect of the Loan or any part thereof; 

 

	13.1.4	 fourthly, in or towards repayment of the Loan (whether the same is due and payable or not); 

  
 49 

	13.1.5	 fifthly, in or towards payment to any Bank 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 or prepaid and which amounts are so payable under this Agreement; 

  

	13.1.6	 sixthly, in or towards payment to the Swap Provider of any amounts owing to it under the Master Swap Agreement; 

 

	13.1.7	 seventhly, in or towards payment to any Creditor of any other sums owing to it under any of the Security Documents; and 

 

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

 

	13.2	 Pro rata payments 

  

	13.2.1	 If at any time any Bank (the “Recovering Bank”) receives or recovers any amount owing to it by the Borrowers under this Agreement 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 Bank’s Contribution or any other payment of an
amount due to the Recovering Bank for its sole account pursuant to clauses 3.6, 5, 6.6, 11.1, 11.2, 12.1 or 12.2) the Recovering Bank 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 Bank would have received if the Relevant Receipt had been received by the Agent and distributed pursuant to clauses 6.1 or
6.9 (as the case may be) then: 

  

	 	(a)	 within two (2) Banking Days of demand by the Agent, the Recovering Bank 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 Bank as if it were a payment made by the Borrowers and shall distribute the same to the
Banks (other than the Recovering Bank) in accordance with clause 6.9; and 

  

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

  

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

  

	13.2.3	 Each Bank shall on request supply to the Agent such information as the Agent may from time to time request for the purpose of this clause 13.2.

  

	13.2.4	 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause 13.2, no Recovering Bank shall be obliged to share any Relevant Receipt which it receives or
recovers pursuant to legal 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 Bank are instituted by it without prior notice having been given to such party through the Agent). 

 

	13.3	 Set-off 

  

	13.3.1	 Each Borrower authorises each Creditor (without prejudice to any of such Creditor’s rights at law, in equity or otherwise), at any time and without
notice to such Borrower, to apply any credit balance to which such Borrower is then entitled standing upon any account of such 

  
 50 

	 	 
Borrower with any branch of such Creditor in or towards satisfaction of any sum due and payable from such Borrower to such Creditor under any of the Security Documents. For this purpose, each
Creditor 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. 

 

	13.3.2	 No Creditor shall be obliged to exercise any right given to it by this clause 13.2. Each Creditor shall notify the Agent and the relevant Borrower
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 Creditors. 

 

	13.4	 No release 

 For
the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that failure by any Recovering Bank to comply with the provisions of clause 13.2 shall not release any other Recovering Bank from any of its obligations or liabilities under clause 13.2. 

 

	13.5	 No charge 

 The
provisions of this clause 13 shall not, and shall not be construed so as to, constitute a charge or other security interest by a Creditor over all or any part of a sum received or recovered by it in the circumstances mentioned in
clause 13.2. 
  

	13.6	 Further assurance 

The Borrowers jointly and severally undertake that the Security Documents shall both at the date of execution and delivery thereof and
so long as any moneys are owing under any of the Security Documents be valid and binding obligations of the respective parties thereto and rights of each Creditor 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
Banks 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 Borrowers’ Security Documents (other than the Master Swap Agreement), the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. 

 

	  14	 Accounts 

  

	14.1	 General 

 The
Borrowers jointly and severally undertake with each Creditor that they will: 
  

	14.1.1	 on or before the Drawdown Date of the Initial Advance, open the Initial Operating Account, the Initial Cash Collateral Account and the Retention Account; and

  

	14.1.2	 on or before drawdown of an Additional Advance, open the Additional Operating Account for the relevant Additional Ship and the Additional Cash Collateral
Account for that Ship; and 

  

	14.1.3	 procure that (a) all moneys payable to a Borrower in respect of the Earnings (as defined in the relevant Deed of Covenant) of such Borrower’s Ship
shall, unless and until the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) directs to the contrary pursuant to clause 2.1 of each of the Deed of Covenant relevant to such Ship, be paid to such Borrower’s Operating Account and
(b) all moneys payable to the Borrowers under the Master Swap Agreements, be paid to one or more Operating Accounts which are subject to an Operating Account Pledge Provided however that if any of the moneys paid to any of the Operating
Accounts are payable in a currency other than Dollars, the Account Bank shall (and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally instruct the Account Bank to) convert such 

  
 51 

	 	 
moneys into Dollars at the Account Bank’s spot rate of exchange at the relevant time for the purchase of Dollars 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 Dollars with such currency. 

  

	14.2	 Account terms 

Amounts standing to the credit of the Accounts shall (unless otherwise agreed between the Account Bank and the Borrowers) bear interest
at the rates from time to time offered by the Account Bank to its customers for Dollar deposits in comparable amounts for comparable periods. Interest shall accrue on the Accounts from day to day and be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed
and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and shall be credited to the Accounts at such times as the Account Bank and the Borrowers shall agree. 
  

	14.3	 Operating Accounts: withdrawals 

Unless the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) otherwise agrees in writing, no Borrower shall be entitled to
withdraw any moneys from its Operating Account at any time from the date of this Agreement and so long as any moneys are owing under the Security Documents save that, unless and until a Default shall occur and the Agent (acting on the instructions
of the Majority Banks) shall direct to the contrary, each Borrower may (provided however that as regards withdrawals made on a Retention Date, such Borrower shall have first fulfilled its obligations pursuant to clause 14.4 falling due on such
dates) withdraw moneys from its Operating Account for the following purposes: 
  

	14.3.1	 to pay any amount to the Agent in or towards payments of any instalments of interest or principal or any other amounts then payable pursuant to the Security
Documents; 

  

	14.3.2	 to transfer to the Retention Account on each Retention Date all or part of the Retention Amount for such Retention Date; 

 

	14.3.3	 to transfer funds to any Cash Collateral Account; 

  

	14.3.4	 to pay the proper and reasonable operating expenses of its Ship; 

  

	14.3.5	 to pay the proper and reasonable expenses of administering its affairs; and 

 

	14.3.6	 to make any payments of cash distributions to the extent permitted by clause 8.3.12. 

 

	14.4	 Retention Account: credits and withdrawals 

  

	14.4.1	 The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally undertake with each Creditor that they will, from the date of this Agreement and so long as any moneys are owing
under the Security Documents, on each Retention Date pay to the Account Bank for credit to the Retention Account, the Retention Amount for such Retention Date provided however that, to the extent that there are moneys standing to the credit of the
Operating Accounts (or any of them) as at the relevant Retention Date, such moneys shall, up to an amount equal to the Retention Amount, be transferred to the Retention Account on that Retention Date (and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorise
the Account Bank to effect each such transfer). 

  

	14.4.2	 Unless and until there shall occur an Event of Default (whereupon the provisions of clause 14.6 shall apply), all Retention Amounts credited to the
Retention Account together with interest from time to time accruing or at any time accrued on any amounts standing to the credit of the Retention Account from time to time, shall 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 pursuant to clause 3.1, in or towards payment to the Agent of the relevant instalment then falling due for repayment or, as
the case may be, the relevant 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 

  
 52 

	 	 
without prejudice to the obligations of each 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.

  

	14.4.3	 Unless the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) otherwise agrees in writing, none of the Borrowers shall be entitled to withdraw any
moneys from the Retention Account at any time from the date of this Agreement and so long as any moneys are owing under the Security Documents. 

  

	14.5	 Cash Collateral Accounts: withdrawals 

Unless the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) otherwise agrees in writing, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to
withdraw any moneys from any Cash Collateral Account at any time from the date of this Agreement and so long as the Borrowers remain under any obligation, actual or contingent, under this Agreement or any moneys are owing under the Security
Documents, save that, unless and until a Default shall occur and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) shall direct to the contrary, each Borrower may withdraw moneys from its Cash Collateral Account if and to the extent that,
following any such withdrawal, the Borrowers would remain in compliance with the provisions of clauses 8.4 and 8.5. 
  

	14.6	 Application of accounts 

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

	14.7	 Charging of Accounts 

The Accounts and all amounts from time to time standing to the credit thereof shall be subject to the security constituted and the
rights conferred by the Account Pledges. 
  

	  15	 Assignment, transfer and lending office 

  

	15.1	 Benefit and burden 

This Agreement shall be binding upon, and enure for the benefit of, the Creditors and the Borrowers and their respective successors in
title. 
  

	15.2	 No assignment by Borrowers 

No Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement. 

 

	15.3	 Transfers by Banks 

Subject to the prior written consent of the Agent, any Bank (the “Transferor Bank”) may at any time cause all or
any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations under this Agreement and the Security Documents to be transferred to any other bank, financial institution or other person whatsoever (a “Transferee Bank”) by delivering to the
Agent a Transfer Certificate duly completed and duly executed by the Transferor Bank and the Transferee Bank. No such transfer is binding on, or effective in relation to, the Borrowers, the Agent or the other Creditors 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 Bank, the Transferee Bank and the Agent (on behalf of itself, the Borrowers and the other Creditors) and
(ii) such transfer of rights under the other Security Documents has been effected and registered. Upon signature of any such Transfer Certificate by the Agent, which signature shall be effected as promptly as is practicable after such Transfer
Certificate has been delivered to the Agent, and subject to the terms of such Transfer Certificate, such Transfer Certificate shall have effect as set out below. 

  
 53 

 The following further provisions shall have effect in relation to any Transfer Certificate:

  

	15.3.1	 a Transfer Certificate may be in respect of a Bank’s rights in respect of all, or part of, its 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 Bank in its capacity as a Bank and shall not transfer its rights
and obligations as Agent, Security Agent 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 Bank’s payment rights and all its other rights (other than those referred to in
sub-clause 15.3.2 above) under this Agreement are assigned to the Transferee Bank absolutely, free of any defects in the Transferor Bank’s title and of any rights or equities which the Borrowers or any of them had against the Transferor Bank;

  

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

 

	 	(c)	 the Transferee Bank becomes a Bank with a Contribution and a Commitment of the amounts specified in the Transfer Certificate; 

 

	 	(d)	 the Transferee Bank becomes bound by all the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents which are applicable to the Banks generally, including
those about pro-rata sharing and the exclusion of liability on the part of, and the indemnification of, the Agent, the Security Agent, the Swap Provider and the Arranger in accordance with the provisions of clause 16 and to the extent that the
Transferee Bank becomes bound by those provisions, the Transferor Bank ceases to be bound by them; 

  

	 	(e)	 an Advance or part of an Advance which the Transferee Bank 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 Bank, assuming that any defects in the Transferor Bank’s title and any rights or equities of any Security Party against the Transferor Bank had not existed; and

  

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

 

	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 Agent, the Swap Provider and the Banks 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 Security Agent, the
Swap Provider, the Account Bank, the Arranger, the Transferor Bank, the Transferee Bank and the other Banks. 

  

	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 have been presented or signed by the persons
by whom it purports to have been presented or signed, and shall not be liable to any of the parties to this Agreement and the Security Documents for the consequences of such reliance. 

  
 54 

	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 Banks holding a Transfer Certificate and the date at which the transfer referred to in such Transfer Certificate held by each Bank was transferred to such Bank, and the
Agent shall make the said register available for inspection by any Bank, the Security Agent, the Swap Provider, the Account Bank or any Borrower 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 Banks from time to time and the principal amounts of such Transfer Certificates and may be relied upon by the Agent, the other Creditors and the Security Parties for all purposes in connection with this
Agreement and the Security Documents. 

  

	15.5	 Transfer fees and expenses 

If any Bank causes the transfer of all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations under the Security Documents, it shall pay
to the Agent and/or the Security Agent on demand all costs, fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses), and all value added tax thereon, verified by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent as having been
incurred by it in connection with such transfer. 
  

	15.6	 Documenting transfers 

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

	15.7	 Sub-participation 

A Bank may sub-participate to any other bank or financial institution all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under the
Security Documents without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers but with the prior written consent of the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks). 
  

	15.8	 Lending offices 

Each Bank 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 Bank selected from time to time by such Bank through which such Bank wishes to lend for the purposes of this Agreement. If the office through which a Bank is lending is changed pursuant to this
clause 15.8, such Bank shall notify the Agent promptly of such change and the Agent shall notify the Borrowers, the Security Agent, the Swap Provider, the Account Bank and the other Banks. 

 

	15.9	 Disclosure of information 

Any Bank may, with the prior written consent of the Agent, disclose to a prospective Transferee Bank 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, the other Security Parties or any of them as such Bank shall consider appropriate. 

  
 55 

	  16	 Arranger, Agent and Security Agent 

  

	16.1	 Appointment of the Agent 

Each Bank and the Swap Provider irrevocably appoints the Agent as its agent for the purposes of this Agreement and such of the Security
Documents to which it may be appropriate for the Agent to be party. By virtue of such appointment, each of the Banks and the Swap Provider hereby authorises the Agent: 
  

	16.1.1	 to execute such documents as may be approved by the Majority Banks for execution by the Agent; and 

 

	16.1.2	 (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to take such action on such Bank’s or, as the case may be, the Swap Provider’s behalf and to
exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to the Agent by this Agreement and/or any other Security Document, together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto.

  

	16.2	 Agent’s actions 

Any action taken by the Agent under or in relation to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents whether with requisite
authority, or on the basis of appropriate instructions, received from the Banks (or as otherwise duly authorised) shall be binding on all the Banks, the Swap Provider and the other Creditors. 

 

	16.3	 Agent’s duties 

The Agent shall: 
  

	16.3.1	 promptly notify each Bank and the Swap Provider of the contents of each notice, certificate or other document received by it from the Borrowers under or
pursuant to clauses 8.1.1, 8.1.5, 8.1.6 and 8.1.7; and 

  

	16.3.2	 (subject to the other provisions of this clause 16) take (or instruct the Security Agent to take) such action or, as the case may be, refrain from taking (or
authorise the Security Agent to refrain from taking) such action with respect to the exercise of any of its rights, remedies, powers and discretions as agent, as the Majority Banks may direct. 

 

	16.4	 Agent’s rights 

The Agent may: 
  

	16.4.1	 in the exercise of any right, remedy, power or discretion in relation to any matter, or in any context, not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any
of the other Security Documents, act or, as the case may be, refrain from acting (or authorise the Security Agent to act or refrain from acting) in accordance with the instructions of the Banks, and shall be fully protected in so doing;

  

	16.4.2	 unless and until it shall have received directions from the Majority Banks, take such action or, as the case may be, refrain from taking such action (or
authorise the Security Agent to take or refrain from taking such action) in respect of a Default of which the Agent has actual knowledge as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks and the Swap Provider (but shall not be obliged to
do so); 

  

	16.4.3	 refrain from acting (or authorise the Security Agent to refrain from acting) in accordance with any instructions of the Banks to institute any legal
proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents until it and/or the Security Agent has been indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction against any and all costs, expenses or liabilities
(including legal fees) which it would or might incur as a result; 

  
 56 

	16.4.4	 deem and treat (i) each Bank as the person entitled to the benefit of the Contribution of such Bank for all purposes of this Agreement unless and until
a Transfer Certificate shall have been filed with the Agent pursuant to clause 15.3 and shall have become effective, and (ii) the office set opposite the name of each of the Banks in schedule 1 or, as the case may be, in any relevant Transfer
Certificate as such Bank’s lending office unless and until a written notice of change of lending office shall have been received by the Agent and the Agent may act upon any such notice unless and until the same is superseded by a further such
notice; 

  

	16.4.5	 rely as to matters of fact which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of any Security Party upon a certificate signed by any director or
member of the board of managers or a member or manager or officer of the relevant Security Party on behalf of the relevant Security Party; and 

  

	16.4.6	 do anything which is in its opinion necessary or desirable to comply with any law or regulation in any jurisdiction. 

 

	16.5	 No liability of Arranger or Agent 

Neither the Arranger nor the Agent nor any of their respective employees and agents shall: 

 

	16.5.1	 be obliged to make any enquiry as to the use of any of the proceeds of any Advance unless (in the case of the Agent) so required in writing by a Bank, in
which case the Agent shall promptly make the appropriate request to the Borrowers; or 

  

	16.5.2	 be obliged to make any enquiry as to any breach or default by any of the Borrowers or any other Security Party in the performance or observance of any of the
provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents or as to the existence of a Default unless the Agent has actual knowledge thereof or has been notified in writing thereof by a Bank or the Swap Provider, in which case the Agent
shall promptly notify the Banks of the relevant event or circumstance; or 

  

	16.5.3	 be obliged to enquire whether or not any representation or warranty made by any of the Borrowers or any other Security Party pursuant to this Agreement or
any of the other Security Documents is true; or 

  

	16.5.4	 be obliged to do anything (including, without limitation, disclosing any document or information) which would, or might in its opinion, be contrary to any
law or regulation or be a breach of any duty of confidentiality or otherwise be actionable or render it liable to any person; or 

  

	16.5.5	 be obliged to account to any Bank or the Swap Provider for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account; or

Arranger nor the Agent shall be treated as having actual knowledge of any matter of which the corporate finance or any other division outside the agency or loan administration department of the Arranger or the person for the time being acting as the
Agent may become aware in the context of corporate finance, advisory or lending activities from time to time undertaken by the Arranger or, as the case may be, the Agent for any Security Party or any other person which may be a trade competitor of
any Security Party or may otherwise have commercial interests similar to those of any Security Party. 

  
 57 

	16.6	 Non-reliance on Arranger or Agent 

Each Bank and the Swap Provider acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, opinion, forecast or other representation made by
the Arranger or the Agent to induce it to enter into this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents and that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance on the Arranger 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
Bank’s Commitment or Contribution under this Agreement. Neither the Arranger nor the Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any other Creditor with any credit or other information with
respect to any Security Party whether coming into its possession before the making of any Advance or at any time or times thereafter other than as provided in clause 16.3.1.

Neither the Arranger nor the Agent shall have any responsibility or liability to any other Creditor: 

 

	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 any of the Borrowers or any other Security Party to the Ships or any other security or any part thereof;
or 

  

	16.7.6	 for the failure to register any of the Security Documents with any official or regulatory body or office or elsewhere; or 

 

	16.7.7	 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

  

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

  

	16.7.9	 otherwise in connection with this Agreement or its negotiation or for acting (or, as the case may be, refraining from acting) in accordance with the
instructions of the Banks. 

  

	16.8	 Reliance on documents and professional advice 

The Arranger 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 or, as the case may be, the Agent’s employment). 
  

	16.9	 Other dealings 

The Arranger and the Agent may, without any liability to account to any other Creditor, accept deposits from, lend money to, and
generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with, and provide advisory or other services to, any Security Party or any of its Related 

  
 58 

 
Companies or any of the other Creditors as if it was not the Arranger or, as the case may be, the Agent. 
  

	16.10	 Rights of Agent as Bank; no partnership 

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

 

	16.11	 Amendments and waivers 

  

	16.11.1	 Subject to clause 16.11.2, the Agent may, with the written consent of the Majority Banks (or if and to the extent expressly authorised by the other
provisions of any of the Security Documents) and, if so instructed by the Majority Banks, shall: 

  

	 	(a)	 agree (or authorise the Security Agent to agree) amendments or modifications to any of the Security Documents with any Security Party; and/or

  

	 	(b)	 waive breaches of, or defaults under, or otherwise excuse performance of, any provision of any of the other Security Documents by any Security Party (or
authorise the Security Agent to do so). 

 Any such action so authorised and effected by the Agent shall be
documented in such manner as the Agent shall (with the approval of the Majority Banks) determine, shall be promptly notified to the Banks by the Agent and (without prejudice to the generality of clause 16.2) shall be binding on all the
Creditors. 
  

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

 

	 	(a)	 reduce the Margin; 

  

	 	(b)	 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; 

  

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

 

	 	(d)	 increase any Bank’s Commitment; 

  

	 	(e)	 extend the Termination Date in relation to any Advance; 

  

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

  

	 	(g)	 change the order of distribution under clause 6.9 or clause 13.1; 

 

	 	(h)	 change this clause 16.11; 

  

	 	(i)	 change the definition of “Majority Banks” in clause 1.2; or 

  
 59 

	 	(j)	 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 Banks 

Each Bank shall reimburse the Agent (rateably in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or, following the first drawdown,
Contribution), to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrowers, for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Agent which are expressed to be payable by the Borrowers under clause 5.2 including (in each case) the fees and
expenses of legal or other professional advisers. Each Bank shall on demand indemnify the Agent (rateably in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or, following the first drawdown, Contribution) against all liabilities, damages, costs and
claims whatsoever incurred by the Agent 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 Agent under any of the Security Documents, unless
such liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise from the Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 
  

	16.13	 Retirement of Agent 

  

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

 

	 	(a)	 a Bank nominated within a period of twenty eight (28) days by the Majority Banks or, failing such a nomination, 

 

	 	(b)	 any reputable bank or financial institution experienced in shipping finance nominated by the retiring Agent. 

Any corporation into which the retiring Agent may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the Agent may be consolidated or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation to which the Agent shall be a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Agent 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 this Agreement 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, the Banks and the Swap Provider. Prior to any such successor being appointed, the Agent 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. 
  

	16.13.2	 Upon any such successor as aforesaid being appointed, the retiring Agent 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. The retiring Agent shall (at the expense of the Borrowers) 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 Agent 

  

	16.14.1	 Appointment 

 Each of
the Agent, the Swap Provider and the Banks irrevocably appoints the Security Agent as its security agent and trustee for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Security Documents on the terms set out in this Agreement. By virtue of such
appointment, the Agent, 

  
 60 

 
the Swap Provider and each of the Banks hereby authorises the Security Agent (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 Agent by this Agreement and/or any of the other Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

 

	16.14.2	 Retirement 

  

	 	(a)	 Without prejudice to clause 16.13, the Security Agent may, having given to the Borrowers and each of the Banks and the Swap Provider not less than fifteen

and the Swap Provider as a successor security agent and trustee: 

  

	 	(i)	 a Related Company of the Security Agent nominated by the Security Agent which the Banks hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to appoint or, failing
such nomination, 

  

	 	(ii)	 a bank or trust corporation nominated by the Majority Banks or, failing such a nomination, 

 

	 	(iii)	 any bank or trust corporation nominated by the retiring Security Agent, 

and, in any case (A) such successor security agent and trustee shall have duly accepted such appointment by delivering to the
Agent (1) written confirmation (in a form acceptable to the Agent) of such acceptance agreeing to be bound by this Agreement in the capacity of Security Agent as if it had been an original party to this Agreement and (2) a duly executed
Trust Deed and (B) such successor security agent and trustee shall have duly entered into, whether with the retiring Security Agent and/or with the Borrowers and/or with the Creditors or with any of them, such documents in connection with the
Security Documents as the Agent shall require in its absolute discretion. 
  

	 	(b)	 Any corporation into which the retiring Security Agent may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the Security Agent may be consolidated or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation to which the Security Agent shall be a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Security Agent 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, the Banks, the Agent and the Swap Provider. Prior to any such successor being appointed, the Security Agent 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. 

 

	 	(c)	 Upon any such successor as aforesaid being appointed, the retiring Security Agent 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 Agent. The retiring Security Agent shall (at the expense of the Borrowers) provide its successor
with copies of such of its records as its successor reasonably requires to carry out its functions under the Security Documents. 

  
 61 

	16.15	 Powers and duties of the Security Agent 

  

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

  

	 	(a)	 each of the Security Documents to which the Security Agent 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 Banks) for entry into by the
Security Agent, 

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

	16.15.2	 Subject to clause 16.15.3 the Security Agent may, with the prior consent of the Majority Banks 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 Agent is or is intended to be a party; or

  

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

 Any such action so authorised and effected by the Security Agent shall be promptly
notified to the Banks, the Agent and the Swap Provider by the Security Agent and shall be binding on all the Creditors. 
  

	16.15.3	 The Security Agent shall not concur with any Security Party with respect to any of the matters described in clause 16.11.2 without the consent of all the
Banks communicated in writing by the Agent. 

  

	16.15.4	 The Security Agent 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 agent and trustee, as the Agent may direct. Subject as provided in the foregoing provisions of this clause, unless and until the Security Agent shall have received such instructions
from the Agent, the Security Agent 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 16.15.1 as the Security Agent shall deem advisable in the best interests
of the Creditors provided that (for the avoidance of doubt), to the extent that this clause might otherwise be construed as authorising the Security Agent 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 Banks 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 Banks nor the Swap Provider nor the Agent shall have any independent power to enforce any of the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.15.1
or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to such Security Documents or otherwise have direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by such Security Documents except
through the Security Agent. 

  

	16.15.6	 For the purpose of this clause 16, the Security Agent may, rely and act in reliance upon any information from time to time furnished to the Security Agent 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 Agent 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 Agent has actual knowledge that such information is inaccurate or incorrect. 

  
 62 

	16.15.7	 Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Agent, the Swap Provider and the Banks (whether directly or through the Agent) shall provide the Security
Agent 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 16.15.1. 

 

	16.15.8	 Each Bank shall reimburse the Security Agent (rateably in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or, following the first drawdown, Contribution), to the
extent that the Security Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrowers, for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Agent which are expressed to be payable by the Borrowers under clause 5.2 including (in each case) the fees and expenses of legal
or other professional advisers. Each Bank shall on demand indemnify the Security Agent (rateably in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or, following the first drawdown, Contribution) against all liabilities, damages, costs and claims
whatsoever incurred by the Security Agent 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 Agent under any of the Security Documents,
unless such liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise from the Security Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 

  

	16.16	 Trust provisions 

  

	16.16.1	 In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Documents specified in clause 16.15.1 the Security Agent 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 Agent by any of those Security Documents. 

  

	16.16.2	 It is expressly declared that, in its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Documents specified in clause 16.15.1, the Security Agent shall be
entitled to invest moneys forming part of the security and which, in the opinion of the Security Agent, may not be paid out promptly following receipt in the name or under the control of the Security Agent 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 Agent as the
Security Agent may think fit without being under any duty to diversify its investments and the Security Agent 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 of all of the security may, at the discretion of the Security Agent, be made or retained in the names of nominees. 

 

	16.17	 Independent action by Creditors 

None of the Creditors 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 Banks but, Provided such consent has been obtained, it shall not be necessary for any
other Creditor to be joined as an additional party in any proceedings for this purpose. 
  

	16.18	 Common Agent and Security Agent 

The Agent and the Security Agent have entered into the Security Documents in their separate capacities (a) as agent for the Banks
and the Swap Provider under and pursuant to this Agreement (in the case of the Agent) and (b) as security agent and trustee for the Agent, the Banks and the Swap Provider, under and pursuant to this Agreement, to hold the guarantees and/or
security created by the other Security Documents specified in clause 16.15.1 on the terms set out in such Security Documents (in the case of the Security Agent). However, from time to time the Agent and the Security Agent may be the same entity.
When the Agent and the Security Agent are the same entity and any Security Document provides for the Agent to 

  
 63 

 
communicate with or provide instructions to the Security Agent (and vice versa), it will not be necessary for there to be any such formal communications or instructions on those occasions. 

 

	16.19	 Co-operation to achieve agreed priorities of application 

The Banks, the Agent and the Swap Provider shall co-operate with each other and with the Security Agent 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	 Prompt distribution of proceeds 

Moneys received by any of the Creditors (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 Creditors other than the Agent or the Security Agent) and shall be distributed by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent (in the case of moneys so received by the Agent or, as the case may be,
the Security Agent) in each case in accordance with clause 13.1. The Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent 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 Agent 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 Agent (acting on the
instructions of the Majority Banks) 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 Agent and/or the Account Bank and/or the Swap Provider and/or the Arranger and/or the Banks or any of them to provide for the whole of their respective claims against the Borrowers or any other person liable.

 The
Borrowers hereby agree jointly and severally to keep the Creditors fully indemnified on demand against all damages, losses, costs and expenses arising from any failure of any Borrower to perform or discharge any purported obligation or liability of

to a Creditor (including, without limitation, any irregular exercise or absence of any corporate power or lack of authority of, or breach of duty by, any person purporting to act on behalf of a Borrower (or any legal or other limitation, whether
under the Limitation Acts or otherwise or any disability or death, bankruptcy, unsoundness of mind, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, winding up, administration, receivership, amalgamation, reconstruction or any other incapacity of any person

 Schedule 6 

Mandatory Cost formula 
  

	1	 The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Banks for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England
and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 

 

	2	 On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional
Cost Rate”) for each Bank, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Banks’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage
participation of each Bank in the Loan or any relevant unpaid sum) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 

  

	3	 The Additional Cost Rate for any Bank lending from a lending office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Bank to the
Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Bank in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Bank’s participation in the Loan or the relevant unpaid sum made from that
lending office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that lending office. 

  

	4	 The Additional Cost Rate for any Bank lending from a lending office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows: 

 

			
	 E X 0.01
		 per cent per annum.

	300  	

 Where E is designed to compensate Banks for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is
calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 

 

	5	 For the purposes of this Schedule: 

  

	 	(a)	 “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as
may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 

  

	 	(b)	 “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under Column 1 of the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any
minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); 

  

	 	(c)	 “Participating Member State” means any member of the European Union that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance
with the legislation of the European Community relating to the Economic and Monetary Union; 

  

	 	(d)	 “Special Deposits” has the meaning given to it from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be
appropriate) by the Bank of England; and 

  

	 	(e)	 “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 

 

	6	 If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the
rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being
the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for 

  
 87 

	 	 
that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. 

 

	7	 Each Bank shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation,
each Bank shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank: 

  

	 	(a)	 the jurisdiction of its lending office; and 

  

	 	(b)	 any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. 

Each Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. 

 

	8	 The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it
pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 above and on the assumption that, unless a Bank notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Bank’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its
jurisdiction of incorporation with a lending office in the same jurisdiction as its lending office. 

  

	9	 The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Bank and shall
be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Bank or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects. 

 

	10	 The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Banks on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each
Bank based on the information provided by each Bank and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above. 

  

	11	 Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a
Bank shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement. 

  

	12	 The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrowers and the Banks, determine and notify to all parties to this Agreement any amendments
which are required to be made to this schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any
case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement.
