Document in connection with, or attributable to, any Guaranteed Tranche in respect of the period during which that Relevant Borrower is a member of the Group;

or incurred by the Security Trustee or any other Creditor Party concerned as a result of or in connection with any obligation or liability guaranteed by the Guarantor being or becoming unenforceable, invalid, void or illegal; and the amount
recoverable under this indemnity shall be equal to the amount which the Security Trustee or the other Creditor Party concerned would otherwise have been entitled to recover 

Provided however that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Guarantor shall only be liable under this Guarantee from the date
on which any Borrower becomes a member of the Group following a Dropdown. 
  

	2.2	No limit on number of demands 

 The Security Trustee may serve more than one demand under
Clause 2.1. 
 LIABILITY AS PRINCIPAL AND INDEPENDENT DEBTOR 

 

	3.1	Principal and independent debtor 

 The Guarantor shall be liable under this Guarantee as
a principal and independent debtor and accordingly it shall not have, as regards this Guarantee, any of the rights or defences of a surety. 
  

	3.2	Waiver of rights and defences 

 Without limiting the generality of Clause 3.1, the
Guarantor shall neither be discharged by, nor have any claim against any Creditor Party in respect of: 
  

	(a)	any amendment or supplement being made to the Finance Documents (or any of them); 

  

	(b)	any arrangement or concession (including a rescheduling or acceptance of partial payments) relating to, or affecting, the Finance Documents (or any of them); 

 

	(c)	any release or loss (even though negligent) of any right or Security Interest created by the Finance Documents (or any of them); 

  

	(d)	any failure (even though negligent) promptly or properly to exercise or enforce any such right or Security Interest, including a failure to realise for its full market value an asset covered by such a Security Interest;
or 

  

	(e)	any other Finance Document or any Security Interest now being or later becoming void, unenforceable, illegal or invalid or otherwise defective for any reason, including a neglect to register it. 

EXPENSES 
  

	4.1	Costs of preservation of rights, enforcement etc 

 The Guarantor shall pay to the
Security Trustee on its demand the amount of all reasonable expenses incurred by the Security Trustee or any other Creditor Party in connection with any matter arising out of this Guarantee or any Security Interest connected with it, including any
advice, claim or proceedings relating to this Guarantee or such a Security Interest. 

  
 4 

 ADJUSTMENT OF TRANSACTIONS 

 

	5.1	Reinstatement of obligation to pay 

 The Guarantor shall pay to the Security Trustee on
its demand any amount which any Creditor Party is required, or agrees, to pay pursuant to any claim by, or settlement with, a trustee in bankruptcy of any Borrower or of any Security Party (or similar person) on the ground that the Loan Agreement,
the Master Agreements or any other Finance Document, or a payment by any Relevant Borrower or of another Security Party in respect of a Guaranteed Tranche, was invalid or on any similar ground. 

PAYMENTS 
  

	6.1	Method of payments 

 Any amount due under this Guarantee shall be paid:

	6.2	Grossing-up for taxes 

 If the Guarantor is
required by law to make a tax deduction, the amount due to the Security Trustee shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that the Security Trustee and (if the payment is not due to the Security Trustee for its own account) the Creditor
Party beneficially interested in the payment receives and retains a net amount which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount that it would otherwise have received. 

INTEREST 
  

	7.1	Accrual of interest 

 Any amount due under this Guarantee shall carry interest after the
date on which the Security Trustee demands payment of it until it is actually paid, unless interest on that same amount also accrues under the Loan Agreement or, as the case may be, a Master Agreement. 

 

	7.2	Calculation of interest 

 Interest under this Guarantee shall be calculated and accrue in
the same way as interest under clause 7 of the Loan Agreement. 
  

	7.3	Guarantee extends to interest payable under Loan Agreement and the Master Agreements 

For the avoidance of doubt, it is confirmed that this Guarantee covers all interest payable under the Finance Documents, including that payable
under clause 7 of the Loan Agreement and under the Master Agreements. 

  
 5 

 SUBORDINATION 
  

	8.1	Subordination of rights of Guarantor 

 All rights which the Guarantor at any time has
(whether in respect of this Guarantee, any other Guarantor’s Document or any other transaction) against any Borrower, any other Security Party or their respective assets, shall be fully subordinated to the rights of the Creditor Parties under
the Finance Documents; and in particular, the Guarantor shall not:

transaction;

 The Security Trustee and any Creditor Party may, for the purpose of
claiming or proving in a bankruptcy of a Borrower or any other Security Party, place any sum received or recovered under or by virtue of this Guarantee or any Security Interest connected with it on a separate suspense or other nominal account

	(a)	are more favourable than those applicable to the Finance Parties pursuant to the Finance Documents, the Guarantor shall, or shall procure that any Obligor or any other third party will, give to the Finance Parties the

delay or expense is proved to have resulted solely from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of CSM or their employees in connection with the Vessels, in which case (save where such loss, damage, delay or expense has resulted from
CSM’s personal act or omission committed with the intent to cause same or recklessly and with knowledge that such loss, damage, delay or expense would probably result) CSM’s liability for each incident or series of incidents giving rise to

	 	(vi)	 It is hereby expressly agreed that no employee or agent of CSM (including any
sub-contractor from time to time employed by CSM and the employees of such sub-contractors) shall in any circumstances whatsoever be under any liability whatsoever to
CLP for any loss, damage or delay of whatsoever kind arising or resulting directly or indirectly from any act, neglect or default on his part while acting in the course of or in connection with his employment and, without prejudice to the generality

agreement with her underwriters is not reached it is adjudged by a competent tribunal that a constructive loss of the Vessel has occurred or the Vessel’s owners issue a notice of abandonment to the underwriters. 

The termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to all rights accrued due between the parties prior to the date of termination.

 Section 10. Fees Upon Termination with respect to a Vessel. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Fee shall be adjusted

not retain any copies of same.

understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and (in relation to such subject matter) supersedes and replaces all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, between the parties. 

Section 13. Amendments to Agreement. CSM reserves the right to make such changes to this Agreement as it shall consider necessary
to take account of regulatory changes which come into force after the date hereof and which affect the operation of the Vessels. Such changes will be intimated in writing to CLP and will come into force on intimation or on the date on which such
regulatory or other changes come into effect (whichever shall be the later). 
 Section 14. Severability. If any provision
herein is held to be void or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions herein shall remain unaffected and enforceable.

so appointed. A party wishing to refer a dispute to arbitration shall appoint its arbitrator and send notice of such appointment to the other party requiring the other party to appoint its arbitrator within 14 calendar days of that notice and
stating that it will appoint its arbitrator as sole arbitrator unless the other party appoints its own arbitrator and gives notice that it has done so within the 14 calendar days specified. If the other party does not appoint its own arbitrator and
give notice that it has done so within the 14 calendar days specified, the party referring the dispute to arbitration may, without the requirement of any further prior notice to the other party, appoint its arbitrator as sole arbitrator
and shall advise the other party accordingly. The award of a sole arbitrator shall be as binding as if he had been appointed by agreement.
