	10.
	RECOVERY OF OPERATING COSTS AND SHARING OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTION

		
	10.1
	The allocation of Available Crude Oil shall be calculated on a Contract Area basis for Royalty Oil, Cost Oil and Profit Oil. This allocation of Available Crude Oil shall be in accordance with the Accounting Procedures, the Allocation and Lifting Procedures and this Clause ‎10 as follows:

		
	(a)
	Royalty Oil shall be allocated to the State from the first day of Production, based on the daily total of Available Crude Oil from the Contract Area, set at a rate of 2%;

		
	(b)
	Cost Oil shall be allocated to the Contractor in such quantum as will generate an amount of Proceeds sufficient for recovery of Operating Costs in the Contract Area. All costs will be recovered in United States dollars through Cost Oil allocation;

		
	(c)
	Cost Oil shall be not more than eighty percent (80%) of Available Crude Oil in the Contract Area after deduction of Royalty Oil in any accounting period;

		
	(d)
	Profit Oil, being the balance of Available Crude Oil after deducting Royalty Oil and Cost Oil shall be allocated to each Party based on the pre-tax, nominal rate of return calculated on a quarterly basis for the Contract Area in accordance with the following sliding scale:

	
			
	Contractor’s Rate of Return for Contract Area (% per annum)
	Government Share of Profit Oil
	Contractor Share of Profit Oil

	<19%
	0%
	100%

	>=19 %< 22%_
	10%
	90%

	>=22%<26 %
	20%
	80%

	>=26%<29%
	40%
	60%

	>=29%
	50%
	50%

		
	10.2
	Beginning at the date of Commercial Discovery, Contractor’s rate of return shall be determined at the end of each Quarter on the basis of the accumulated compounded net cash flow for the Contract Area, using the following procedure:

		
	(a)
	The Contractor’s net cash flow for the Contract Area for each Quarter is:

21

		
	(i)
	The sum of Contractor’s Cost Oil and share of Contract Area Profit Oil regarding the Petroleum actually lifted in that Quarter at the Realizable Price;

		
	(ii)
	Minus Operating Costs.

		
	(b)
	For this computation, neither any expenditure incurred prior to the date of Commercial Discovery for the Contract Area nor any Exploration Expenditure shall be included in the computation of the Contractor’s net cash flow.

		
	(c)
	The Contractor’s net cash flows for each Quarter are compounded and accumulated for the Contract Area from the date of the Commercial Discovery according to the following formula:

ACNCF (Current Quarter) = 
(100% + DQ) x ACNCF (Previous Quarter) + NCF (Current Quarter) 100%
where:
ACNCF = accumulated compounded net cash flow 
NCF = net cash flow 
DO = quarterly compound rate (in percent)
The calculation will be made using quarterly compound rates (in percent) of 4.44%, 5.09%, 5.95%, and 6.57%, which correspond to annual compound rates (“DA”) of 19%, 22%, 26%, and 29%, respectively.
		
	(d)
	The Contractor’s rate of return in any given Quarter for the Contract Area shall be deemed to be between the largest DA which yields a positive or zero ACNCF and the smallest DA which causes the ACNCF to be negative.

		
	(e)
	The sharing of Profit Oil from the Contract Area between the State and the Contractor in a given Quarter shall be in accordance with the scale in Clause ‎10.1(d) above using the Contractor’s deemed rate of return as per paragraph ‎(d) in the immediately preceding Quarter.

		
	(f)
	In the Contract Area, it is possible for the Contractor’s deemed rate of return to decline as a result of negative cash flow in a Quarter with the consequence that Contractor’s share of Profit Oil from the Contract Area would increase in the subsequent Quarter.

		
	(g)
	Pending finalization of accounts, Profit Oil from the Contract Area shall be shared on the basis of provisional estimates, if necessary, of deemed rate of return as approved by the National Petroleum Agency. Adjustments shall be effected with the procedure subsequently to be adopted by the National Petroleum Agency,

		
	10.3
	The quantum of Available Crude Oil to be allocated to each Party under this Contract shall be determined at the Delivery Point.

22

		
	10.4
	Each Party shall lift and dispose of its allocation of Available Crude Oil in accordance with the Allocation and Lifting Procedures. In the event of any reconciliation, the records of the National Petroleum Agency shall be the official, final and binding records.

		
	10.5
	Allocation of Royalty Oil and the State’s Profit Oil shall be in the form of delivery of Production of Petroleum to the National Petroleum Agency and the National Petroleum Agency or other appropriate authority shall issue receipts for such delivery within thirty (30) days of lifting such Royalty Oil and Profit Oil. These receipts are issued by the National Petroleum Agency or other appropriate authority on behalf of the Government of Sao Tome and Principe.

		
	10.6
	Any Party may, at the request of any other Party, lift such other Party’s Available Crude Oil pursuant to Clause ‎10.3 and the lifting Party within thirty (30) days from the end of the month in which the lifting occurred shall transfer to the account of the non-lifting Party the Proceeds of the sale to which the non-lifting Party is entitled. Overdue payments shall bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus two percent (2%).

		
	10.7
	The State may sell to the Contractor all or any portion of its allocation of Available Crude Oil from the Contract Area under mutually agreed terms and conditions.

		
	10.8
	The Parties shall meet as and when agreed in the Allocation and Lifting Procedures to reconcile all Petroleum produced, allocated and lifted during the period in accordance with the Allocation and Lifting Procedures.

		
	10.9
	Notwithstanding the above, in lieu of lifting the State’s Profit Oil and/or Royalty Oil, the State, upon one hundred eighty (180) days advance notice to the Operator issued by the National Petroleum Agency, may elect to receive the State’s allocation of Profit Oil and/or Royalty Oil in cash based on the Realizable Price rather than through lifting regardless of whether or not the Contractor sells the State’s Profit Oil and/or Royalty Oil to a third party. If the State elects to receive cash in lieu of lifting, the Operator shall lift the State’s allocation of Profit Oil and/or Royalty Oil and pay into the National Petroleum Account cash in respect of such lifting within thirty (30) days from the end of the month in which the lifting occurred. Every one hundred eighty (180) days, the State may elect to have an entity designated by the State to resume lifting the State’s allocation of Profit Oil and/or Royalty Oil upon one hundred eighty (180) days’ notice to the Operator prior to the date the State elects to have an entity designated by the State to resume lifting.

		
	11.
	VALUATION OF CRUDE OIL

		
	11.1
	Unless a pre-marketing plan is agreed, and save as otherwise provided in this Contract, Crude Oil shall be valued in accordance with the following procedures:

		
	(a)
	On the attainment of commercial production of Crude Oil, each Party shall engage the services of an independent laboratory of good repute to undertake a qualitative and quantitative analysis of such Crude Oil.

23

		
	(b)
	A trial marketing period shall be designated which shall extend for the first six (6) month period during which a new stream is lifted or for the period of time required for the first ten (10) liftings, whichever is longer. During the trial marketing period the Parties shall:

		
	(i)
	collect samples of the new Crude Oil upon which the qualitative and quantitative analysis shall be performed as provided in Clause ‎11.1(a);

		
	(ii)
	determine the approximate quality of the new Crude Oil by estimating the yield values from refinery modeling;

		
	(iii)
	market in accordance with their entitlement to the new Crude Oil and to the extent that one Party lifts the other Party’s allocation of Available Crude Oil, payments therefor shall be made by the buyers to the Operator which will be responsible for distributing to the other Parties in accordance with their entitlement, and Cost Oil and Profit Oil and the Contractor’s accounting shall reflect such revenues, in accordance with Clause ‎10;

		
	(iv)
	provide information to a third party who shall compile the information and maintain all individual Party information confidential with regard to the marketing of the new Crude Oil including documents which verify the sales price and terms of each lifting; and

		
	(v)
	apply the actual F.O.B. sales price to determine the value for each lifting which F.O.B. sales pricing for each lifting shall continue, as the Realizable Price, after the trial marketing period until the Parties agree to a valuation of the new Crude Oil but in no event longer than ninety (90) days after conclusion of the trial marketing period.

		
	(c)
	As soon as practicable but in any event not later than sixty (60) days after the end of the trial marketing period, the Parties shall meet to review the qualitative and quantitative analysis, yield and actual sales data. The Realizable Price shall be based on a single weighted average price for all Available Crude Oil in the month, based on the international FOB market price at the Delivery Point. It is the intent of the Parties that such price shall reflect the true market value based on arm’s length transactions for the sale of the new Crude Oil to independent parties.

		
	(d)
	Upon the conclusion of the trial marketing period, the Parties shall be entitled to lift their allocation of Available Crude Oil pursuant to Clause ‎10.3 and the Allocation and Lifting Procedures.

		
	(e)
	When a new Crude Oil stream is produced from the Contract Area and is commingled with an existing Crude Oil produced which has an agreed Realizable Price basis then such basis shall be applied to the extent practicable for determining the Realizable Price of the new Crude Oil. The Parties shall meet and mutually agree on any 

24

appropriate modifications to such agreed Realizable Price, which may be required to reflect any change in the market value of the Crude Oils as a result of commingling.
		
	11.2
	If the National Petroleum Agency or the Contractor are unable to agree the valuation of Crude Oil produced in the Contract Area for a particular month, then such Party may propose its alternative valuation to the other Parties. The Parties shall then meet within thirty (30) days of such proposal and mutually agree on such valuation with or without any appropriate modifications within thirty (30) days from such meeting, failing which the issue shall be referred to a mutually agreed independent expert who shall have the appropriate international oil and gas experience and who will resolve and settle the matter in a manner as he shall in his absolute discretion think fit and the decision of the expert shall be final and binding on the Parties. If after a period of thirty (30) days, the Parties are unable to agree on the identity of the expert, such expert shall be appointment by the International Centre for Expertise in accordance with the provisions for the appointment of experts under the Rules for Expertise of the International Chamber of Commerce.

		
	11.3
	Segregation of Crude Oils of different quality and/or grade shall, by agreement of the Parties, take into consideration, among other things, the operational practicality of segregation and the cost benefit analysis thereof. If the Parties agree on such segregation the following provisions shall apply:

		
	(a)
	any and all provisions of this Contract concerning valuation of Crude Oil shall separately apply to each segregated Crude Oil produced; and

		
	(b)
	each grade or quality of Crude Oil produced and segregated in a given year shall contribute its proportionate share to the total quantity designated in such year as Royalty Oil, Cost Oil and Profit Oil.

		
	12.

	1.
	Conditions Precedent

		
	1.1
	Conditions Precedent to first Utilisation

The Original Borrower may not deliver a Utilisation Request unless the Facility Agent has received all of the documents and other evidence listed in Part I of Schedule 3 (Conditions Precedent) in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent (acting reasonably), or their delivery has otherwise been waived in accordance with clause 2.3 (Waivers of Conditions Precedent). The Facility Agent (acting reasonably) shall notify the Original Borrower and the Lenders promptly upon being so satisfied.
		
	1.2
	Conditions Precedent to each Utilisation

	(ii)
	the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Facility does not exceed the Borrowing Base Amount, and the making of the Utilisation would not result in the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Facility exceeding the Borrowing Base Amount; and

		
	(iii)
	the Repeating Representations to be made by each Obligor are, in the light of the facts and circumstances then existing, true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of a Repeating Representation that contains a materiality concept, true and correct in all respects);

		
	1.3
	Waivers of Conditions Precedent

		
	(A)
	The Facility Agent, acting in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders, may waive the requirement under clause 2.1 (Conditions Precedent to first Utilisation) to deliver any one or more of the documents and other evidence listed in Schedule 3 (Conditions Precedent).

PART 3     
OPERATION OF THE FACILITY

		
	1.
	The Facility

		
	1.1
	Facility Commitment amounts

		
	(A)
	Subject to the terms of the Finance Documents the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrowers a secured US Dollar revolving loan facility and a letter of credit facility on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement (the “Facility”) in an aggregate amount equal to the Total Commitments.

    

56

		
	(B)
	The Facility may be utilised by way of:

		
	(i)
	Loans (which, during the Availability Period only, shall include Rollover Loans); and

		
	(ii)
	Letters of Credit up to an aggregate amount not exceeding USD 200 million.

		
	1.2
	Total Available Facility Amount

		
	(A)
	The Total Available Facility Amount shall be computed in accordance with this clause 3.2.

		
	(B)
	If at any time the aggregate amount of all Loans exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount, the Total Available Facility Amount shall be zero.

		
	(C)
	Notwithstanding any increase to the Total Available Facility Amount by the addition of (a) Additional Commitments pursuant to clause 3.3 below; or (b) the IFC Commitment pursuant to clause 3.4 below and subject to paragraph (B) above, the Total Available Facility Amount shall be an amount equal to the lesser of:

		
	(i)
	the Total Facility Amount less (1) the amount of all Loans which have not been either prepaid or repaid and (2) the aggregate amount of any Letters of Credit issued, or to be issued, under the Facility; and

		
	(ii)
	the Borrowing Base Amount less (1) the amount of all Loans and (2) the aggregate amount of any Letters of Credit issued, or to be issued, under the Facility (only to the extent not cash collateralised by amounts standing to the credit of the LC Cash Collateral Account),

where the Borrowing Base Amount is determined by reference to the most recent Forecast prepared in accordance with the Forecasting Procedures.
		
	(D)
	For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time a Letter of Credit is cash collateralised in whole in or part in accordance with clause 7.1(B) of this Agreement, the Total Available Facility Amount shall, subject always to paragraphs (B) and (C) above, automatically increase by the amount of such deposit. Conversely, in the event that the whole or any part of the cash collateral is withdrawn in accordance with clause 7.1(B) of this Agreement, then the Total Available Facility Amount will reduce by the amount of such withdrawal.

		
	1.3
	Additional Commitment

		
	(A)
	The Original Borrower may notify the Facility Agent (such notice being an “Additional Commitment Notice”) that it has agreed with any Lender or any other bank or financial institution (in each case, an “Additional Lender”) to increase the Total Facility Amount by the provision of additional commitments under the Facility (each such increase in commitments being an “Additional Commitment”), provided that:

		
	(i)
	the Additional Commitment Notice is delivered at any time after the Effective Date, and prior to the expiry of the Availability Period;

		
	(ii)
	the increase is to take effect before the expiry of the Availability Period and the maximum aggregate amount of Additional Commitment (including all 

    

57

previous increases) does not exceed USD 500 million less any amount of IFC Commitment which has then been provided;
		
	(iii)
	no Event of Default is continuing or would arise as a result of the provision of the Additional Commitment; and

		
	(iv)
	the terms of the Additional Commitment shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the existing Commitments.

		
	(B)
	Each Additional Commitment Notice shall:

		
	(i)
	confirm that the requirements of clause 3.3(A) above are fulfilled;

		
	(ii)
	specify the date upon which the Additional Commitment is anticipated to be made available to the Borrowers (the “Additional Commitment Date”); and

		
	(iii)
	where the Additional Lender is IFC, include any further details that may be required by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) pursuant to clause 3.4 (IFC as Additional Lender).

		
	(C)
	In the event that the Additional Lender is not a Party to this Agreement, the Original Borrower shall procure that each Additional Lender:

		
	(i)
	delivers a Lender Accession Notice duly completed and signed on behalf of the Additional Lender and specifying its Additional Commitment to the Facility Agent; and

		
	(ii)
	accedes to the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement,

in each case, on or prior to the Additional Commitment Date.
		
	(D)
	Subject to the conditions in paragraph (B) and (C) above being met, from the relevant Additional Commitment Date:

		
	(i)
	the Additional Lender shall make available the relevant Additional Commitment for Utilisation under the Facility in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (as amended);

		
	(ii)
	the Additional Commitment shall rank pari passu with respect to existing Commitments; and

		
	(iii)
	any necessary rebalancing of the Commitments and outstandings under the Facility and the Additional Commitment provided by the Additional Lender to ensure that they are pro rata (the “New Commitment Rebalancing”) will be made by a Borrower making utilisations from the Additional Commitment within five business days of the relevant Additional Commitment Date:

		
	(a)
	in priority to utilisations from Commitments under the Facility; or

    

58

		
	(b)
	to effect a prepayment under the Facility to the existing Lenders (which amount may be redrawn by the Borrowers),

at that Borrower’s election, in each case to procure, as far as practicable, any New Commitment Rebalancing, following which all utilisations shall be made pro rata.
		
	(E)
	Each Additional Lender may only become a party to this Agreement (and be entitled to share in the Security created under the Security Documents in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents) if such Additional Lender simultaneously accedes to the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

		
	(F)
	Each Party (other than the relevant Additional Lender) irrevocably authorises and instructs the Facility Agent to execute on its behalf any Lender Accession Notice which has been duly completed and signed on behalf of that proposed Additional Lender and each Party agrees to be bound by such accession. The Facility Agent must promptly sign any such Lender Accession Notice (and in any event within three Business Days of receipt).

		
	(G)
	The Facility Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Lender Accession Notice delivered to it by an Additional Lender once the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) has, to the extent that the necessary information is not already available to it, received all required information to comply with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the accession of such Additional Lender.

		
	(H)
	On the date that the Facility Agent executes a Lender Accession Notice:

		
	(i)
	the Additional Lender party to that Lender Accession Notice, each other Finance Party and the Obligors shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had that Additional Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of that accession and with the Commitment specified by it as its Additional Commitment; and

		
	(ii)
	that Additional Lender shall become a Party to this Agreement as a “Lender”.

		
	1.4
	IFC as Additional Lender

		
	(A)
	In the event that the Additional Commitment is to be provided by IFC, subject to compliance with the provisions of clause 3.3 (Additional Commitment) and clause 3.5(B), IFC shall provide its Additional Commitment (the “IFC Commitment”) through a separate tranche, facility or facilities ranking pari passu with the Facility (the “IFC Facility”) details of which, together with any amendments to the Finance Documents as the Original Borrower and IFC (each acting reasonably) consider necessary, shall be provided with the Additional Commitment Notice.

		
	(B)
	Any IFC Commitment shall be provided on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Facility, save that the IFC Facility shall include such additional or alternative terms and conditions as required by IFC’s policies and practices (the rights in relation to which shall not be available to the Finance Parties).

    

59

		
	(C)
	In order to rebalance the Commitments and outstandings under the Facility and the IFC Facility to ensure that they are pro rata (the “IFC Rebalancing”), a Borrower will make utilisations under the IFC Facility:

		
	(i)
	in priority to the Facility; or

		
	(ii)
	to effect a prepayment under the Facility (which amount may be redrawn by a Borrower),

at that Borrower’s election, in each case to procure, as far as practicable, the IFC Rebalancing, following which all drawings under the IFC Facility and the Facility shall be pro rata.
		
	1.5
	Amendments to Finance Documents

		
	(A)
	The Parties shall, acting reasonably, make such amendments to the Finance Documents as may be necessary to increase the Total Facility Amount pursuant to clause 3.3 (Additional Commitment) above (including amendments to the Amortisation Schedule and such amendments as required to implement any alternative terms and conditions as required by IFC’s policies and practices) and to enable each Additional Lender to accede to the Finance Documents and provide its Additional Commitment hereunder. The Facility Agent may effect, on behalf of the Finance Parties, any such amendment. Any Lender Accession Notice or accession in respect of the Intercreditor Agreement entered into, or any amendment to the Finance Documents effected pursuant to clause 3.3 (Additional Commitment) above, by the Facility Agent, the Additional Lender or the Original Borrower, shall be binding on all Parties.

		
	(B)
	Notwithstanding paragraph (A) above, any amendments to the Finance Documents or additional or alternative terms and conditions, in each case as may be reasonably required as a consequence of any IFC Commitment being provided to the Borrowers shall not require the consent of the Finance Parties, provided that such amendments are not prejudicial to the rights and obligations of the Finance Parties under this Agreement.

		
	2.
	Finance Parties’ Rights and Obligations

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

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

    

60

		
	(C)
	A Finance Party may, except as otherwise stated in the Finance Documents, separately enforce its rights under the Finance Documents.

		
	3.
	Purpose

		
	3.1
	Purpose

The proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit may only be used by a Borrower for the following purposes:
		
	(A)
	in the case of a first Utilisation of the Facility, to repay all amounts outstanding under the Existing Finance Documents in full;

		
	(B)
	to pay Project Costs (including Relevant Capital Expenditure);

		
	(C)
	to pay Financing Costs (other than principal and interest);

		
	(D)
	to make advances to an Obligor under an Intercompany Loan Agreement to enable such Obligor to pay Project Costs;

		
	(E)
	to fund the DSRA and the LC Cash Collateral Account;

		
	(F)
	to meet all costs and expenses incurred in respect of making any Permitted Acquisition;

	(H)
	subject to Clause 20.6 (Distributions Reserve Account) to fund the Distributions Reserve Account.

For this purpose, if the Facility Agent receives the Utilisation Request on a day which is not a Business Day or after

64

	Letters of Credit – General Provisions

	When immediately repayable or prepayable

If a Letter of Credit or any amount outstanding under a Letter of Credit becomes payable, the Original Borrower shall repay or prepay that amount within five Business Days of demand by the relevant LC Issuing Bank.
		
	6.2
	Fee payable in respect of Letters of Credit

		
	(A)
	The Original Borrower shall pay to each of the LC Issuing Banks a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it, in the amount and at the times agreed in the letter between each relevant LC Issuing Bank and the Original Borrower. A reference in this Agreement to a Fee Letter shall include the letter referred to in this paragraph.

(B)    
		
	(i)
	Subject to (ii) below, the Original Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent (for the account of each LC Lender) a letter of credit fee computed at the same rate as the Margin on the outstanding amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from the issue of that Letter of Credit until its Expiry Date. This fee shall be distributed according to each LC Lender’s LC Proportion of that Letter of Credit.

    

67

		
	(ii)
	The Original Borrower shall be entitled to deduct, from the letter of credit fee calculated as described in (i) above and paid to the Facility Agent, in respect of each Relevant Lender, an amount which is the product of the Margin and any Borrower Replacement Collateral (as defined in clause 8.10 below) held in respect of such Relevant Lender (the “RL Reduction”). The net fee distributed by the Facility Agent to each Relevant Lender shall be the fee calculated according to such Relevant Lender’s LC Proportion then reduced by the amount of the RL Reduction.

		
	(C)
	The accrued letter of credit fee on a Letter of Credit shall be payable quarterly (on each of 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December and as from the first of such dates falling after the date of issue of that Letter of Credit) and on the Expiry Date for that Letter of Credit.

		
	(D)
	If the Original Borrower uses cash collateral to cover any part of a Letter of Credit then the fronting fee payable to the relevant LC Issuing Bank and the letter of credit fee payable for the account of each LC Lender shall not (in respect of the part of the Letter of Credit covered by the cash collateral) be payable.

		
	6.3
	Claims under a Letter of Credit

		
	(A)
	The Original Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally authorises each LC Issuing Bank to pay any claim made or purported to be made under a Letter of Credit and which appears on its face to be in order (a “claim”).

		
	(B)
	The Original Borrower shall immediately on demand pay to the Facility Agent for the account of the relevant LC Issuing Bank an amount equal to the amount of any claim under that Letter of Credit.

		
	(C)
	The Original Borrower acknowledges that each LC Issuing Bank:

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

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

		
	(D)
	The obligations of the Original Borrower under this clause will not be affected by:

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

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

		
	6.4
	Indemnities

		
	(A)
	The Original Borrower shall immediately on demand indemnify each LC Issuing Bank against any cost, loss or liability incurred by such LC Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason of such LC Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct and otherwise in respect of the obligation of any Lender to provide cash collateral pursuant to clause 8.10 (Cash collateralisation)) in acting as an LC Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit.

    

68

		
	(B)
	Each Lender shall (according to its LC Proportion) immediately on demand by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the relevant LC Issuing Bank), indemnify each LC Issuing Bank against any cost, loss or liability incurred by such LC Issuing Bank (otherwise than by reason of such LC Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct) in acting as such LC Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (unless that LC Issuing Bank has been reimbursed by the Original Borrower pursuant to a Finance Document).

		
	(C)
	The Original Borrower shall immediately on demand reimburse any Lender for any payment it makes to an LC Issuing Bank under this clause 8.4 (Indemnities) (other than any Cash Deposit made pursuant to clause 8.10 (Cash collateralisation) but including in respect of any amount withdrawn from the Cash Deposit and payment to any LC Issuing Bank under clause 8.10(C) or 8.10(E)). In the absence of reimbursement of an LC Issuing Bank or Lenders by the Original Borrower pursuant to this clause 8.4 (Indemnities) within 5 Business Days of demand (the “LC Payment Date”), the Original Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Loan of an amount (in Dollars) equal to the outstanding amount payable on the LC Payment Date and the Original Borrower shall be treated as having agreed to borrow that Loan on the LC Payment Date. The proceeds of each Loan made available by the Lenders in accordance with this clause 8.4(C) and deemed to be made to the Original Borrower shall be paid to an LC Issuing Bank (or, as the case may be, the Facility Agent on behalf of the Lenders) in satisfaction of the obligations of the Original Borrower in accordance with this clause 8.4 to reimburse that LC Issuing Bank or Lenders for the amount of the outstanding payment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    

69

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

	(D)
	An LC Issuing Bank may rely on:

		
	(i)
	any representation, notice or document believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised; and

		
	(ii)
	any statement made by a director, Authorised Signatory or employee of any person regarding any matters which may reasonably be assumed to be within his knowledge or within his power to verify.

		
	(E)
	An LC Issuing Bank may engage, pay for and rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, surveyors or other experts.

	(i)
	the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) provided by any Party (including itself), or any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; or

	6.8
	Credit appraisal by the Lenders

Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each LC Lender confirms to each LC Issuing Bank that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including, but not limited to, those listed in paragraphs (A) to (D) of clause 32.16 (Credit appraisal by the Lenders).

	(A)
	If and for so long as:

		
	(i)
	the long-term senior unsecured credit rating of a Lender is, or is reduced to, below BBB- (Standard & Poor’s) or Baa3 (Moody’s); or

		
	(ii)
	it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for a Lender to perform its obligations under clause 8.4 (Indemnities) of this Agreement,

(any such Lender being a “Relevant Lender”) then, within thirty five (35) Business Days of the date of publication by S&P or Moody’s of such rating downgrade or the date upon which the obligations become unlawful, the Relevant Lender shall, unless otherwise agreed by each LC Issuing Bank, as security for (but without prejudice to) its obligations under clause 8.4 (Indemnities), pay to each LC Issuing Bank an amount equal to its LC Proportion of the aggregate outstandings under all Letters of Credit issued by that LC Issuing Bank at such date (the “Cash Deposit”). The Relevant Lender shall, within thirty five (35) Business Days of any increase in such aggregate outstandings, pay to that LC Issuing Bank an amount equal to its LC Proportion of any such increase (unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Bank) (and any additional amount so paid shall form part of the Cash Deposit). If requested by a LC Issuing Bank, the Relevant Lender shall enter into security documentation over the Cash Deposit in form and substance satisfactory to that LC Issuing Bank (acting reasonably).
		
	(B)
	Any Cash Deposit made pursuant to this clause 8.10 shall be placed by the relevant LC Issuing Bank in a separately designated bank account and shall bear interest (at the rate of interest customarily given by that LC Issuing Bank for short-term cash 

    

71

deposits in amounts equal to such Cash Deposit) from (and including) the date of deposit of any amounts in, until (but excluding) the date of withdrawal of any amounts from, such account (such amount held being the “Borrower Replacement Collateral”).
		
	(C)
	An LC Issuing Bank shall only withdraw amounts standing to the credit of such account:

		
	(i)
	for payment to that LC Issuing Bank up to (and including) the amount of the Cash Deposit in accordance with clause (E) below; and

		
	(ii)
	in excess of the Cash Deposit, for payment to the Relevant Lender, if so instructed by the Relevant Lender.

		
	(D)
	Any Cash Deposit made pursuant to this clause 8.10 shall, on demand by the Relevant Lender, be repaid to such Relevant Lender provided that the long-term senior unsecured credit rating of such Relevant Lender is, or is greater than BBB- (Standard & Poor’s) or Baa3 (Moody’s).

		
	(E)
	Without prejudice to the provisions of clause 8.4(B), each Relevant Lender hereby irrevocably authorises each LC Issuing Bank to withdraw from any account established pursuant to this clause 8.10 in relation to such Relevant Lender such Relevant Lender’s LC Proportion of the amount specified in any claim made under a Letter of Credit, up to the amount of the Relevant Lender’s Cash Deposit in discharge of such Relevant Lender’s obligations to it under clause 8.4(B).

		
	(F)
	If and to the extent the Relevant Lender at any time fails to comply with its payment obligations under clause 8.10(A), then (without prejudice to clause 8.4(B)):

		
	(i)
	the Relevant Lender hereby irrevocably authorises any Agent to apply its entitlement to sums received by that Agent from any source in respect of payment under, and/or any other sum received by that Agent under or in respect of, the Finance Documents, towards such payment obligations;

		
	(ii)
	the Original Borrower and each LC Issuing Bank may (in their sole discretion) agree that the Original Borrower shall pay an amount to that LC Issuing Bank:

		
	(a)
	which may or may not be equal to the Relevant Lender’s Cash Deposit or such part thereof as is unpaid by the Relevant Lender; and

		
	(b)
	which shall be placed by that LC Issuing Bank in a separately designated bank account and shall bear interest (at the rate of interest customarily given by that LC Issuing Bank for short-term cash deposits in amounts equal to such amounts) from (and including) the date of deposit of any amounts in, until (but excluding) the date of withdrawal of any amounts from, such account,

and
		
	(iii)
	that LC Issuing Bank may withdraw amounts standing to the credit of such account:

    

72

		
	(a)
	to pay that LC Issuing Bank such Relevant Lender’s LC Proportion of any claim made under a Letter of Credit; and

		
	(b)
	as otherwise agreed between the Original Borrower and that LC Issuing Bank.

	(A)
	If it becomes unlawful (including as a result of any Sanctions) in any applicable jurisdiction for a Lender (an “Illegality Lender”) to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by the Finance Documents, or to fund or maintain its participation in any Utilisation or it becomes unlawful for any Affiliate of a Lender for that Lender to do so:

		
	(i)
	that Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent upon becoming aware of that event;

		
	(ii)
	upon the Facility Agent notifying the Original Borrower, the Commitment of that Lender will be immediately cancelled; and

		
	(iii)
	each Borrower shall either:

		
	(a)
	if the Lender so requires, repay that Lender’s participation in the Utilisations made to that Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period for each Utilisation occurring after the Facility Agent has notified that Borrower or, if earlier, the date specified by the Lender in the notice delivered to the Facility Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law); or

		
	(b)
	replace that Lender in accordance with paragraph (B) of clause 10.10 (Right of repayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender) on or before the first date applicable under paragraph (a) above in respect of which a payment is due and payable.

	(i)
	that Borrower shall promptly notify the Facility Agent upon becoming aware of that event;

		
	(ii)
	the Facility Agent shall notify the Lenders; and

	(C)
	If it becomes unlawful (including as a result of any Sanctions) for an LC Issuing Bank to issue or leave outstanding any Letter of Credit or it becomes unlawful for any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank for that Issuing Bank to do so, the relevant LC Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Facility Agent upon becoming aware of that event, and upon the Facility Agent notifying the Original Borrower, (i) the Facility shall cease to be available for the issue of Letters of Credit unless and until the relevant LC Issuing Bank is replaced by another Lender in accordance with paragraph (B)of clause 10.10 (Right of repayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender) and (i) the Original Borrower shall prepay all Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank and use its reasonable endeavours to procure the release of such LC Issuing Bank from all outstanding Letters of Credit.

    

74

		
	2.3
	Aggregate outstandings exceed the Borrowing Base Amount

		
	(A)
	In the event that a Forecast shows that the aggregate of the outstandings under the Facility on the relevant Forecast Date exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount as determined in such Forecast, a Borrower shall, within 90 days of the date of the relevant Forecast (in addition to Repayment Instalments under the Amortisation Schedule), make an additional mandatory repayment of the Facility as necessary to ensure that the aggregate of the outstandings under the Facility does not exceed the Borrowing Base Amount provided always that:

		
	(i)
	subject to (ii) below, an Event of Default shall arise in respect of such mandatory prepayment only if such prepayment has not been made in full after a period of 90 days from the relevant Forecast Date (the “BBA Cure Period”); and

		
	(ii)
	such mandatory repayment will be required at the expiry of the BBA Cure Period only if, at such time, a Forecast prepared immediately prior to the expiry of the BBA Cure Period confirms that the aggregate of the outstandings under the Facility exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount.

		
	(B)
	The Obligors shall be entitled to make any such mandatory prepayment by (i) depositing cash into an account with the Account Bank in London secured in favour of the Lenders (which shall be a Project Account) which has been established solely for this purpose or (i) procuring a letter of credit on terms approved by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably), in favour of the Facility Agent, in each case, in an amount equal to the mandatory prepayment required. Any excess standing to the credit of such account on any Forecast Date shall be released and may be withdrawn by the relevant Borrower and applied for any purpose as it sees fit (without reference to the Cash Waterfall) provided that prior to being paid into such account none of the Secured Parties had any rights to such amounts (if any Secured Parties had any rights to such amount, such amount shall be paid into an Offshore Proceeds Account).

		
	2.4
	Permitted disposals

If, as a result of a Permitted Disposal, the amount outstanding under the Facility exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount, then the required amount of proceeds from such Permitted Disposal to ensure that there is no such excess, after having taken into account the impact of the Permitted Disposal on the Borrowing Base Amount will be used to make a prepayment of the Facility.
		
	2.5
	Insurance Receipts

		
	(A)
	All Insurance Proceeds received by an Obligor in excess of USD10 million (or its equivalent in other currencies) in aggregate shall be paid into and retained in an Insurance Proceeds Account until applied in accordance with the terms of this clause.

		
	(B)
	Subject to paragraph (C) below, all net proceeds of any insurance claim received by an Obligor in respect of a Borrowing Base Asset shall, unless the Majority Lenders otherwise agree, be first applied in prepayment of the Facility:

    

75

		
	(i)
	where the aggregate amount of the insurance proceeds received by that Obligor is in excess of USD 100 million (or its equivalent in other currencies) (less expenses); or

		
	(ii)
	where the aggregate amount of the insurance proceeds received by that Obligor is less than USD 100 million (or its equivalent in other currencies) but more than USD 10 million (or its equivalent in other currencies), to the extent not applied or committed to be applied to meet a third party claim or to cover operating losses of, or in the reinstatement of, a Borrowing Base Asset or purchase of a replacement Borrowing Base Asset or otherwise in amelioration of the loss to a Borrowing Base Asset or reinvestment in the Borrowing Base Asset within, in each case, one year of receipt.

		
	(C)
	Neither (i) any insurance proceeds paid to the Operator and applied by the Operator in meeting the cost, loss or liability for which that payment was made, nor (i) any proceeds of any insurance claim received by an Obligor in respect of business interruption shall be subject to the prepayment obligation in paragraph (B) above.

		
	2.6
	Change of Control

		
	(A)
	Upon a Change of Control:

		
	(i)
	the relevant Obligor shall promptly notify the Facility Agent upon becoming aware of the occurrence of that event; and

		
	(ii)
	if the Majority Lenders so require, the Facility Agent shall, on not less than 30 days written notice to the Original Borrower, cancel the Commitments and each Borrower shall repay each Lender’s participation in any Utilisations on the last day of the then current period under the Facility, together with accrued interest and all other amounts accrued under the Finance Documents.

		
	(B)
	For the purposes of paragraph (A) above, a “Change of Control” means any person (or persons with whom they act in concert) other than a Permitted Transferee acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 50 per cent. of the ordinary share capital in any Obligor carrying a right to vote in general meetings of that company. For the avoidance of doubt, a Change of Control shall not occur on an IPO of any Shareholder (directly or indirectly) in KEO or the Original Borrower, or an IPO of any Obligor.

		
	(C)
	For the purposes of paragraph (B) above, any persons includes more than one person acting in concert and a “Permitted Transferee” means:

		
	(i)
	an Affiliate of a Shareholder or KEH, so long as they remain an Affiliate (including any funds associated with Warburg Pincus and Blackstone Capital Partners or the Blackstone Group); or

		
	(ii)
	a person who is otherwise approved by the Majority Lenders (acting reasonably) provided that any Lender which does not grant its approval may, on not less than 30 days written notice to the Facility Agent and the Original Borrower, demand that its participation in the Facility be prepaid in full and that its Commitment be immediately cancelled, provided that the Original Borrower may, in accordance with paragraph (B) of clause 10.10 (Right of repayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender), procure 

    

76

the replacement of that Lender or the transfer of its participation and Commitment to another Lender (with that Lender’s consent) rather than such prepayment and cancellation provided that such replacement or transfer is completed within the relevant notice period given by the relevant Lender. If such replacement or transfer does not occur within the relevant period, that Lender’s participation in the Facility shall be immediately due and payable in full by each Borrower and its Commitment immediately cancelled.
		
	2.7
	Automatic Cancellation

At the close of business in London on the last Business Day of the Availability Period for the Facility, the undrawn Commitment of each Lender under the Facility at that time shall be automatically cancelled.
		
	2.8
	Voluntary Cancellation

		
	(A)
	The Original Borrower may, by giving not less than ten Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior written notice to the Facility Agent, without penalty, cancel the undrawn Commitments under any Facility in whole or in part (but if in part, in a minimum amount of USD 1 million or, if less, the balance of the undrawn Commitments). The relevant Commitments in respect of the Facility will be cancelled on a date specified in such notice, being a date not earlier than ten Business Days after the relevant notice is received by that Facility Agent.

		
	(B)
	Any valid notice of cancellation will be irrevocable and will specify the date on which the cancellation shall take effect. No part of any Commitment which has been cancelled or which is the subject of a notice of cancellation may subsequently be utilised.

		
	(C)
	When any cancellation of Commitments under the Facility takes effect, each Lender’s Available Commitment under the Facility will be reduced by an amount which bears the same proportion to the total amount being cancelled as its Available Commitment under the Facility bears to the Available Commitment (at that time) under the Facility.

		
	2.9
	Voluntary Prepayment of Loans

		
	(A)
	Subject to clause 10.1 (General), a Utilisation may be prepaid whether in whole or in part by a Borrower without penalty upon ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent.

		
	(B)
	Any valid notice of prepayment will be irrevocable and, unless a contrary indication appears in this Agreement, will specify the date on which the cancellation shall take effect. Any amount prepaid or repaid may not be redrawn if such prepayment or repayment and Utilisation occurs after the expiry of the Availability Period.

		
	(C)
	Prepayment shall take effect:

		
	(i)
	on the last day of the then current Interest Period; or

		
	(ii)
	on any other date subject to payment by the relevant Borrower, on demand of Break Costs (if any), in accordance with clause 13.4 (Break Costs).

    

77

		
	(D)
	Unless a contrary indication appears in this Agreement, when any prepayment of the whole or part of a Loan takes place, each Lender’s participation in the relevant Loan shall be reduced rateably.

		
	2.10
	Right of repayment and cancellation in relation to a single Lender

		
	(A)
	If:

		
	(i)
	the Original Borrower reasonably believes that the sum payable to any Lender by an Obligor is required to be increased under clause 15.2 (Tax gross-up);

		
	(ii)
	the Original Borrower receives a notice from the Facility Agent under clause 15.3 (Tax Indemnity) or clause 16 (Increased Costs);

		
	(iii)
	any Lender is or becomes a Non-Funding Lender; or

		
	(iv)
	any Lender is or becomes entitled to increase its rate of interest further to clause 13.2 (Market disruption),

the Original Borrower may, while (in the case of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above) the circumstance giving rise to the belief or notice continues or (in the case of (iii) or (iv) above) the relevant circumstance continues:
		
	(a)
	give the Facility Agent notice of cancellation of the Commitment of that Lender and its intention to procure the repayment of that Lender’s participation in the Utilisations;

		
	(b)
	in the case of a Non-Funding Lender or Illegality Lender, give the Facility Agent notice of cancellation of the Available Commitment of that Lender in relation to the Facility and reinstate all or part of such Available Commitment in accordance with paragraph (B) below;

		
	(c)
	or replace that Lender in accordance with paragraph (B) below.

		
	(B)
	The Original Borrower may:

		
	(i)
	in the circumstances set out in paragraph (A) above or pursuant to clause 10.1 (General) or clause 10.2 (Illegality) or clause 10.6(A)(ii) (Change of Control), replace an Existing Lender (as defined in clause 30 (Changes to the Lenders)), with one or more other Lenders (which need not be Existing Lenders) (each a “Replacement Lender”), which have agreed to purchase all or part of the Commitment and participations of that Existing Lender in Utilisations made to a Borrower pursuant to an assignment or transfer in accordance with the provisions of clause 30 (Changes to the Lenders); or

		
	(ii)
	in the circumstances set out in paragraph (A)(iv)(a) of this clause 10.10, cancel the Available Commitments of the Non-Funding Lender or Illegality Lender in respect of the Facility and procure that one or more Replacement Lenders assume Commitments under the Facility in an aggregate amount not exceeding the Available Commitment of the relevant Non-Funding Lender or Illegality Lender in relation to the Facility,

    

78

in each case on condition that:
		
	(a)
	each assignment or transfer under this paragraph (B) shall be arranged by the Original Borrower (with such reasonable assistance from the Existing Lender as the Original Borrower may reasonably request); and

		
	(b)
	no Existing Lender shall be obliged to make any assignment or transfer pursuant to this paragraph (B) unless and until:

		
	(1)
	it has received payment from the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders in an aggregate amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the participations in the Utilisations owing to the Existing Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest (to the extent that the Facility Agent has not given a notification under clause 30.9 (Pro rata interest settlement)) and fees (including, without limitation, any Break Costs to the date of payment) and all other amounts payable to the Existing Lender under this Agreement; and

		
	(2)
	the requirements under clause 24.12 (“Know your customer” and “customer due diligence” requirements) have been satisfied in respect of the Replacement Lender.

		
	(C)
	On receipt of a notice from the Original Borrower referred to in paragraph (A) above, the Commitment of that Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.

		
	(D)
	On the last day of each Interest Period which ends after the Original Borrower has given notice under paragraph (A) above (or, if earlier, the date specified by the Original Borrower in that notice), the relevant Borrower shall repay that Lender’s participation in the relevant Utilisation.

		
	(E)
	Paragraphs (A) and (B) do not in any way limit the obligations of any Finance Party under clause 18.1 (Mitigation).

		
	3.
	Interest

		
	3.1
	Calculation of interest

The rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:
		
	(A)
	Margin; and

		
	(B)
	LIBOR.

		
	3.2
	Margin

The Margin applicable to a Loan shall be a percentage per annum as follows:

    

79

	
		
	Years (counting from and including the year of the Effective Date)
	Applicable Margin

	1 to 4 (inclusive)
	3.25%

	5 to 6 (inclusive)
	3.75%

	7 to Final Maturity Date (inclusive)
	4.50%

		
	3.3
	Payment of interest

A Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six months, on the dates falling at six-monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).
		
	3.4
	Default interest

		
	(A)
	If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to paragraph (B) below, is 1.0 per cent. higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this clause shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by that Facility Agent.

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

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

		
	(ii)
	the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be 1.0 per cent. higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

		
	(C)
	Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

		
	3.5
	Notification of rates of interest

The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders and the relevant Borrowers of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

		
	4.
	Interest Periods

		
	4.1
	Selection of Interest Periods

		
	(A)
	A Borrower shall select an Interest Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan.

    

80

		
	(B)
	Subject to this clause, a Borrower may select an Interest Period of 1, 3 or 6 months or such other period as may be agreed between a Borrower and the Facility Agent (acting on behalf of the Majority Lenders).

		
	(C)
	No Interest Period for a Loan under the Facility shall extend beyond the Final Maturity Date.

		
	(D)
	The first Interest Period of each Loan shall commence on the Utilisation Date and end on the same day as the end of the selected Interest Period. In the case of each Loan (other than the first Loan under the Facility), each subsequent Interest Period shall end on the same day as the current Interest Period of any outstanding Loan made under the Facility.

		
	4.2
	Non-Business Days

If an Interest Period ends on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day, unless the next Business Day is in another month, in which case the Interest Period will end on the preceding Business Day.
		
	4.3
	Consolidation and division of Loans

		
	(A)
	Subject to paragraph (B) below, if two or more Interest Periods for Loans under the Facility end on the same date, those Loans will, unless a Borrower specifies to the contrary in the Utilisation Request or in a notice to the Facility Agent, be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Loan under the Facility on the last day of the Interest Period.

		
	(B)
	If a Borrower requests (in either a Utilisation Request or otherwise in a notice to the Facility Agent) that a Loan be divided into two or more Loans, that Loan will, on the last day of its Interest Period, be so divided into the amounts specified in such request, being an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the Loan immediately before its division.

		
	5.
	Changes to the Calculation of Interest

		
	5.1
	Absence of quotations

Subject to clause 13.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of any other Reference Bank.
		
	5.2
	Market disruption

		
	(A)
	If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

		
	(i)
	the Margin; and

		
	(ii)
	the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the 

    

81

cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.
		
	(B)
	In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means if, on or about noon in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine LIBOR for the Interest Period, or the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations exceed 35 per cent. in aggregate of all participations) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be materially in excess of LIBOR.

		
	(C)
	The Facility Agent shall notify the relevant Borrower immediately upon receiving notice from the Lender(s).

		
	5.3
	Alternative basis of interest or funding

		
	(A)
	If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the relevant Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent and the relevant Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

		
	(B)
	Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (A) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the relevant Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

		
	5.4
	Break Costs

		
	(A)
	Each Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by it on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

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

		
	(C)
	If, following a payment by the relevant Borrower of all or part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum, a Lender realises a profit, and no Event of Default is continuing, that Lender must pay an amount equal to that profit to that Borrower as soon as practicable.

		
	5.5
	FATCA Information

		
	(A)
	Subject to paragraph (D) below, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

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

		
	(a)
	a FATCA Exempt Party; or

		
	(b)
	not a FATCA Exempt Party;

		
	(ii)
	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA or CRS as that other Party reasonably 

    

82

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

		
	(B)
	Each Party agrees to the disclosure by the other Party of information required to be disclosed under FATCA or CRS to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority or equivalent authority and any other foreign government body as required by FATCA or CRS. Such information may include, without limitation, confidential information such as financial information and any information relating to any shareholders, principals, partners, beneficial owners (direct or indirect) or controlling persons (direct or indirect) of such Party.

		
	(C)
	If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to clause 13.5(A)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

		
	(D)
	Paragraph (A) or (B) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (A)(iii) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

		
	(i)
	any law or regulation;

		
	(ii)
	any fiduciary duty; or

		
	(iii)
	any duty of confidentiality.

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

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

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

		
	(ii)
	where a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor on a Transfer Date and the relevant Lender is a New Lender, the relevant Transfer Date;

		
	(iii)
	the date a new US Tax Obligor accedes as a Borrower; or

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

    

83

supply to the Facility Agent:
		
	(a)
	a withholding certificate on Form W-8, Form W-9 or any other relevant form; or

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

		
	(G)
	The Facility Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (F) above to the relevant Borrower.

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

		
	(I)
	The Facility Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (F) or (H) above without further verification. The Facility Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with paragraphs (F), (G) or (H) above.

		
	(J)
	Without prejudice to any other term of this Agreement, if a Lender fails to supply any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation, waiver or information in accordance with paragraph (F) above, or any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation, waiver or information provided by a Lender to the Facility Agent is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, then such Lender shall indemnify the Facility Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss, Tax or liability (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) incurred by the Facility Agent (including any related interest and penalties) in acting as Facility Agent under the Finance Documents as a result of such failure.

	(ii)
	when Commitment is not then available for utilisation, at a rate equal to 20 per cent. per annum of the then applicable Margin.

In this Agreement:
“Tax Credit” means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax.
“Tax Deduction” means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document, other than a FATCA Deduction.
“Tax Payment” means either the increase in a payment made by an Obligor to a Finance Party under clause 15.2 (Tax gross-up) or a payment under clause 15.3 (Tax Indemnity).

    

85

		
	1.2
	Tax gross-up

		
	(A)
	Each Obligor shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

		
	(B)
	The Original Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly.

		
	(C)
	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

		
	(D)
	If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

		
	(E)
	Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Facility Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party (acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

		
	(F)
	If an Obligor makes any payment to a Finance Party in respect of or relating to a Tax Deduction, but such Obligor was not obliged to make such payment, the relevant Finance Party shall within five Business Days of demand refund such payment to such Obligor.

	Except as provided below, the Original Borrower shall (within five Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) indemnify a Finance Party against any loss, liability or cost which that Finance Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered by that Finance Party for or on account of Tax, by that Finance Party in respect of a Finance Document.

		
	(B)
	Paragraph (A) above shall not apply:

		
	(i)
	with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party under the law of the jurisdiction in which:

		
	(a)
	that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

		
	(b)
	that Finance Party’s Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if in either such case that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party or that Finance Party’s Facility Office; or

    

86

		
	(ii)
	to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under clause 15.2 (Tax gross-up); or

		
	(iii)
	to the extent a loss, liability or cost relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; or

	(D)
	A Finance Party shall, on receiving a payment from an Obligor under this clause, notify the Facility Agent.

	1.4
	Tax Credit

		
	(A)
	If:-

		
	(i)
	an Obligor makes a Tax Payment, and

		
	(ii)
	a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment, and

		
	(iii)
	that Finance Party has obtained, utilised and retained that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party reasonably determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in but for its utilisation of the Tax Credit.
		
	(B)
	Nothing in this clause will:

		
	(i)
	interfere with the rights of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit; or

If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party in connection with a Finance Document, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT against delivery of an appropriate VAT invoice.

		
	(B)
	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that obligation shall be deemed to extend to all VAT incurred by the Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that the Finance Party reasonably determines that neither the Finance Party nor any other member of any VAT group of which it is a member is entitled to credit or repayment of the VAT.

		
	1.7
	FATCA Deduction

		
	(A)
	Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

		
	(B)
	Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), and in any case at least three Business Days prior to making a FATCA Deduction, notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, on or prior to the day on which it notifies that Party, shall also notify the Original Borrower, the Facility Agent and the other Finance Parties.

		
	2.
	Increased Costs

		
	2.1
	Increased costs

		
	(A)
	Subject to clause 16.3 (Exceptions) the Original Borrower shall, within five Business Days of a demand by the Facility Agent, pay for the account of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Costs incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application by any governmental body or regulatory Authority of) any law or regulation (whether or not having the force of law, but if not, being of a type with which that Finance Party or Affiliate is expected or required to comply), or as a result of the implementation or application of, or compliance with, Basel III, CRD IV or any law or regulation that implements or applies Basel III or CRD IV.

		
	(B)

	(i)
	a reduction in the rate of return from the Facility or on a Finance Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital;

		
	(ii)
	an additional or increased cost; or

		
	(iii)
	a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Finance Document,

    

88

which is (a) material and (b) incurred or suffered by a Finance Party or any of its Affiliates but only to the extent that it is attributable to that Finance Party having entered into its Commitment or funding or performing its obligations under any Finance Document.
		
	2.2
	Increased cost claims

		
	(A)
	A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to clause 16.1 (Increased costs) shall notify the Facility Agent of the event giving rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Original Borrower.

		
	(B)
	Each Finance Party shall provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Costs.

		
	2.3
	Exceptions

		
	(A)
	Clause 16.1 (Increased costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is:

PART 6     
FORECASTS AND CALCULATIONS AND BORROWING BASE AMOUNT

		
	1.
	Forecasts and Calculations

		
	1.1
	Forecast Procedures

		
	(A)
	Not less than 30 Business Days before any proposed or required Forecast Date, the Original Borrower and the Technical and Modelling Bank shall consult together with a view to preparing and agreeing the relevant Forecast including the Forecast Assumptions and all associated calculations and information. The Original Borrower shall ensure that a new or updated reserves report is prepared by the Reserves Consultant for the Forecast prepared for 31 March 2019 and for each Forecast prepared on subsequent Forecast Dates. Each party shall consult in good faith and act reasonably, and shall make available sufficiently experienced personnel, with a view to reaching agreement as soon as reasonably practicable. Each Forecast (and all Forecast Assumptions used) shall have due and proper regard to any reasonable 

    

91

view expressed by any of the Consultants in a report delivered for the purpose of preparing the Forecast, any plan of development, work program and budget and the provisions and requirements of the Project Agreements (and any updates thereto). Any product pricing proposal by the Technical and Modelling Bank shall be reasonable in the circumstances and shall be made in accordance with current business practices, applied on a consistent, reasonable and non-discriminatory basis and reflecting market practice at the time. The price of crude oil derived from a relevant Field will be subject to a floor which will be determined subject to and in accordance with the Forecasting Procedures, provided that the floor may not be reduced at any time to less than 70% of the average Brent Forward Curve for the next 36 months as at the date the relevant Forecast is prepared.
		
	(B)
	The Original Borrower shall provide its proposed Forecast to each Lender and the Facility Agent 15 Business Days before the relevant Forecast Date and the Technical and Modelling Bank shall provide their commentary on such Forecast, including whether it agrees or disagrees with such Forecast (including, if applicable, details of the grounds for its determination not to agree with the Forecast). Each Lender shall have 10 Business Days to approve the Forecast and, once approved by the Majority Lenders that Forecast will apply for the relevant Forecast Period. If any such Lender has not objected in writing to the Forecast within such 10 Business Day period, then such Lender shall be deemed to have approved the Forecast. A Forecast shall only be deemed to have been accepted by such Lenders if it has been approved (or deemed approved) by the Majority Lenders. In making any objection, such Lenders must act reasonably and no objection may be made other than on the grounds that a Forecast Assumption which has been used in the Forecast is not reasonable in the circumstances, or on the grounds of proven or manifest error.

		
	(C)
	In making any determination in the Forecasting Procedures the Majority Lenders shall give due and proper regard to any information provided (including any report delivered by the Consultants for the purposes of the Forecast) or representations made by the Original Borrower and the Technical and Modelling Bank. Any determination shall take due and proper regard of any plan of development, work program and budget (and any updates thereto) and the provisions and requirements of the Project Agreements. In making any determination in accordance with the Forecasting Procedures in relation to product prices, the price of crude oil derived from a relevant Field will be subject to a floor which will be determined subject to and in accordance with the Forecasting Procedures, provided that the floor may not be reduced at any time to less than 70% of the average Brent Forward Curve for the next 36 months as at the date the relevant Forecast is prepared. Any determination in relation to product prices shall be reasonable in the circumstances and shall be made in accordance with current business practices, applied on a consistent, reasonable and non-discriminatory basis and reflecting market practice at the time.

		
	(D)
	If the Majority Lenders do not approve the Forecast, the Original Borrower and the Technical and Modelling Bank shall prepare a revised Forecast which satisfies, in all reasonable respects, the objections of the Majority Lenders.

		
	(E)
	If, for any reason, a Forecast is not agreed prior to the applicable Forecast Date, the then applicable Forecast shall continue to apply until the new Forecast is prepared and agreed in accordance with the Forecast Procedures.

		
	1.2
	Contents of Forecast

    

92

		
	(A)
	Each Forecast will set out or include:

		
	(i)
	the Technical Assumptions and Economic Assumptions upon which the Forecast is based (including, without limitation, on product prices);

		
	(ii)
	an updated Model;

		
	(iii)
	the calculation of the Borrowing Base Amount;

		
	(iv)
	the calculation of any mandatory prepayment required because the aggregate of outstandings under the Facility exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount;

		
	(v)
	calculations of the Field Life Cover Ratio and the Loan Life Cover Ratio;

		
	(vi)
	the calculation of the Reserve Tail Date;

		
	(vii)
	the aggregate economically recoverable proved (1P) reserves and the proved and probable (2P) reserves remaining to be produced from the Borrowing Base Assets (reflecting any updated reserves report produced by the Reserves Consultant in respect of that Forecast, or if no such updated reserves report has been produced, reflecting the immediately preceding reserves report as may be updated by the Original Borrower with the agreement of the Technical Consultant and the Technical and Modelling Bank (acting reasonably);

		
	(viii)
	the revised Amortisation Schedule (if required) or confirmation that no revision to the Amortisation Schedule is required pursuant to clause 9.2 (Amendment to Amortisation Schedule); and

		
	(ix)
	such other reasonable information as the Technical and Modelling Bank may reasonably require.

		
	(B)
	All projections and calculations to be made under this clause shall be expressed and made in US Dollars (at the Facility Agent’s spot rate of exchange at the time if so required (which the Facility Agent will provide promptly on request)).

		
	1.3
	New Borrowing Base Assets and removal of Borrowing Base Assets

		
	(A)
	Whenever a new asset becomes, or is to become, a Borrowing Base Asset (including the designation of the Greater Tortue Block Assets), a new Forecast must first be prepared and provided to each Lender for approval, in accordance with this clause 19 (Forecasts and Calculations), together with a Sources and Uses Statement, including that asset.

		
	(B)
	Following notice from the Original Borrower that it has elected for the Greater Tortue Block Assets to be designated as Borrowing Base Assets and on or before the date on which a Forecast is approved to designate the Great Tortue Block Assets as Borrowing Base Assets, the Security Agent and the relevant Obligor shall execute each of the Greater Tortue Security Documents (in form and substance satisfactory to the Security Agent, acting reasonably).

    

93

		
	(C)
	Subject to paragraph (D) below, the Original Borrower may at any time elect that any asset (other than those situated in the Ghana Contract Area), which at that time is included as a Borrowing Base Asset, be excluded from the Borrowing Base Assets.

		
	(D)
	Whenever a Borrowing Base Asset is to cease to be designated as a Borrowing Base Asset, a new Forecast must first be prepared and provided to each Lender for approval, in accordance with this clause 19 (Forecasts and Calculations), together with a Sources and Uses Statement, which does not include that Borrowing Base Asset.

		
	1.4
	Manner of Calculations

		
	(A)
	All the calculations required for each Forecast will be calculated using the Model on the basis of the Technical Assumptions and Economic Assumptions determined for the purposes of that Forecast.

		
	(B)
	Where the manner of determining any of the calculations required for a Forecast differs between the programme on which the Model operates and the provisions of the Finance Documents, the Finance Documents will prevail.

		
	1.5
	Borrowing Base Amount

The Borrowing Base Amount shall be determined on each Forecast Date pursuant to a Forecast prepared in accordance with the Forecasting Procedures. The Borrowing Base Amount so determined shall apply for the duration of the next succeeding Forecast Period or until a new Forecast is prepared.
		
	1.6
	Calculation of Borrowing Base Amount

		
	(A)
	Subject to paragraph (C) below, the Borrowing Base Amount for the purposes of the Facility shall be the lesser of:

		
	(i)
	the sum of: (a) the net present value of Net Cash Flow until the Field Depletion Date plus (a) the net present value of Relevant Capital Expenditure, divided by 1.4; and

		
	(ii)
	the sum of: (a) the net present value of Net Cash Flow until the Final Maturity Date plus (a) the net present value of Relevant Capital Expenditure, divided by 1.15;

		
	(B)
	The discount rate utilised to determine the net present values referred to in paragraph (A) above shall be eight per cent. and shall be applied in calculating the net present value of cash flows.

		
	(C)
	In determining the reserves attributable to:

		
	(i)
	the Ghana Block Assets and the EG Block Assets and any Developed Assets, such determination shall take account of the proved and probable (2P) reserves;

		
	(ii)
	the Greater Tortue Block Assets:

		
	(a)
	while the Greater Tortue Block Assets are a Developing Asset, such determination shall take account of the proved (1P) reserves; and

    

94

		
	(b)
	on and from commercial start-up and satisfaction of the Completion Test in respect of the Greater Tortue Block Assets, such determination shall take account of proved and probable (2P) reserves,

provided, in each case, that the Original Borrower has elected to classify the Greater Tortue Block Assets as a Borrowing Base Asset; and
		
	(iii)
	Developing Assets (other than the Greater Tortue Block Assets), such determination shall take account of proved (1P) reserves only.

		
	(D)
	The contribution of the EG Block Assets and the Greater Tortue Block Assets to the Borrowing Base Amount will be capped, in aggregate, at USD 500 million or such larger amount as may be agreed by the Supermajority Lenders.

		
	1.7
	Model

		
	(A)
	The Technical and Modelling Bank and the Original Borrower may each make proposals with regard to amendments to the Model which it believes:

		
	(i)
	in good faith are required for the purpose of correcting any manifest error in the form or structure of the Model; or

		
	(ii)
	to incorporate additional assumptions.

		
	(B)
	If the Technical and Modelling Bank and the Original Borrower are unable to agree on the required changes to the Model within 15 Business Days from the date on which such changes were proposed, then the matter shall, on the request of the Original Borrower or the Technical and Modelling Bank, be referred for resolution to an appropriate expert appointed by the Technical and Modelling Bank (being a person having appropriate independent expertise with respect to, but no interest in, the outcome of the matter referred to it).

		
	(C)
	The costs of any references to an expert and the costs, if any, incurred in giving effect to any agreed revision to the Model will be borne by the Original Borrower except, in the case of the costs of any reference to an expert only, if the expert determines that any proposal by the Technical and Modelling Bank in respect of the changes to the Model which are in dispute could not be regarded as reasonable and are rejected by such expert, in which case such costs shall be borne by the Lenders.

		
	(D)
	Any amendments to the Model will not be made until such time as such amendment has been agreed or determined (as appropriate) pursuant to paragraphs (A) and (B) above. Prior to such amendment being incorporated into the Model, the Model will continue to be utilised without such amendment.

		
	(E)
	Where the manner of determining any of the calculations required for a Forecast is amended as a consequence of any amendments made to the Model, the Finance Documents shall be deemed to be amended to reflect any such amendment.

		
	1.8
	Approved Developments and Permitted Acquisitions

Prior to requesting the consent of the Majority Lenders to the carrying out of any Approved Development (or the inclusion of any Field or Petroleum Asset (or any part thereof) in the 

    

95

Borrowing Base Assets as an Approved Development) or to the making of any Permitted Acquisition, the Technical and Modelling Bank and the Original Borrower shall consult in good faith, and acting reasonably, they shall prepare a proposal for the consideration of each Lender which includes all relevant information for the Lenders to make an informed decision on whether to grant the requisite consent (including appropriate reports from the Technical Consultant, the Environmental Consultant and the Reserves Consultant). Any Approved Development or Permitted Acquisition must be compliant with the Equator Principles (as confirmed by the Environmental Consultant). The Technical and Modelling Bank shall include its recommendation with the proposal on whether consent should be given. In considering whether to grant any such consent, the Lenders shall act reasonably and shall take due and proper regard of any recommendation of the Technical and Modelling Bank (but without any liability on the part of the Technical and Modelling Bank and each Lender being deemed to make its own independent assessment) and the information provided with the proposal. If the Majority Lenders refuse their consent, they shall provide the Original Borrower with reasonable details of the reasons why they have refused their consent. A Permitted Acquisition may not take place in Iran, Libya, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Cuba, Crimea, in any country or with any person which is subject to a Sanctions Regime or on a Sanctions List or any country designated by the Majority Lenders (acting reasonably).

PART 7     
BANKS ACCOUNTS, CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVE EQUITY

		
	1.
	Bank Accounts and Cash Management

		
	1.1
	Project Accounts

		
	(A)
	(i)    Each Obligor shall establish and maintain each of the Project Accounts, as required under the terms of this Agreement, with the Account Bank in London or such other jurisdiction approved by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably).

		
	(i)
	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Finance Document KEO may maintain and operate such bank accounts (which are not Project Accounts) as it, in its discretion, sees fit and may, subject to clause 28.26(B)-(C), receive and make withdrawals from any such account without restriction. Any amounts standing to the credit of any such account shall not be subordinated to the rights of the Lenders and shall not be available to the Finance Parties whether as secured or unsecured creditors of the Obligors and irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred. KEO may grant security over any such account in favour of any person and shall not be required to grant any Security Interest in favour of the Finance Parties.

		
	(B)
	The Project Accounts, other than the Ghana Working Capital Cedi Account which shall be denominated in Ghanaian Cedi, shall be denominated in US Dollars. Any sum constituting interest paid in respect of the credit balance on any Project Account shall be treated in the same manner as any other sum credited to a Project Account.

		
	(C)
	Each Project Account will be a separate account at the Account Bank. The Project Accounts will be maintained until the Discharge Date.

		
	(D)
	Amounts may be deposited into the Onshore Working Capital Accounts, to the extent necessary, to meet local onshore payments only, provided that the aggregate 

    

96

balance in such accounts may not exceed USD 10 million (or its equivalent in other currencies) or such higher amount agreed by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably).
		
	(E)
	Subject to paragraph (D) above and to the order of payments provided for in the Cash Waterfall, each Obligor shall maintain the balance of the Offshore Proceeds Accounts and the Onshore Working Capital Accounts, which, when aggregated and taken together with amounts paid in advance for its liabilities under the Project Agreements, is prudent and reasonable.

		
	1.2
	Other bank accounts

		
	(A)
	Each Obligor (but excluding KEO for these purposes) shall not open or maintain any bank accounts other than:

		
	(i)
	the Project Accounts (including such other accounts established by KEG with the Account Bank which would be Project Accounts but for the execution of the KEG Onshore Security Assignment and the KEG Offshore Security Assignment by all the parties thereto in accordance with this Agreement), which shall not be overdrawn at any time and any withdrawals from such Project Accounts shall only be made out of cleared funds;

		
	(ii)
	the Distributions Reserve Accounts, which shall not be overdrawn at any time; and

		
	(iii)
	such accounts as may be necessary or appropriate for it to perform its obligations as an operator and, except into which moneys received from, or for the account of, any other party may be paid as required (but any money being related to any carried interest (including in respect of the carried interest of EO) in relation to any Borrowing Base Asset shall be paid into an Offshore Proceeds Account) (an “Interested Third Party”),

provided that in no event shall such accounts referred to in (ii) and (iii) above, or any moneys standing to the credit of such accounts referred to in (ii) and (iii) above, be available to the Lenders (except on an unsecured basis following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause 29.6 (Insolvency) and/or clause 29.7 (Insolvency proceedings)) or subject to any restrictions under the Finance Documents and shall not be subject to any Security Interest in favour of any Finance Party (but may be secured in favour of any other person other than the Finance Parties).
		
	(B)
	The Lenders will account to KEH and/or the relevant Obligor if and to the extent they receive any proceeds from any account of KEO (which is not a Project Account) as referred to in clause 20.1(A) or any other account referred to in 20.2(A)(ii) or (A)(iii) above, and shall hold any such moneys to the account of, and on trust for, KEH or, as the case may be, KEO.

		
	(C)
	Any Lender that is in receipt of proceeds as described in paragraph (B) above shall:

		
	(i)
	within five Business Days notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Original Borrower, KEH and the Facility Agent; and

		
	(ii)
	within five Business Days of demand by KEH or KEO, pay an amount equal to such receipt or recovery to KEH or, as the case may be, KEO.

    

97

		
	1.3
	Appointment of Account Bank

		
	(A)
	Any appointment of or change to an Account Bank will become effective only upon that Account Bank executing, or new Account Bank acceding to the terms of, the Project Accounts Agreements or such other terms as may be approved by the Original Borrower and the Facility Agent (acting reasonably).

		
	(B)
	An Obligor may, with the consent of the Facility Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), change an Account Bank to another bank which meets the requirements of paragraph (C) below, but subject to paragraph (A) above and clause 20.1 (Project Accounts). If an Account Bank resigns, then the relevant Obligor will appoint a replacement Account Bank which meets the requirements of paragraph (C), but subject to paragraph (A) and clause 20.1 (Project Accounts).

		
	(C)
	Each Account Bank shall be a bank whose long-term unguaranteed, unsecured securities or debt has a rating of A- or higher from Standard and Poor’s or A3 or higher from Moody’s (or equivalent) or such lower rating as the Facility Agent and the Original Borrower shall agree in writing.

		
	(D)
	If the Account Bank refuses to establish or maintain any Project Account, as required under the terms of this Agreement, the Original Borrower may appoint a replacement Account Bank in respect of the affected account which meets the requirements of paragraph (C), but subject to paragraph (A) and clause 20.1 (Project Accounts).

		
	1.4
	Security Documents and Project Accounts Agreements

		
	(A)
	Subject to paragraph (C) below, the Project Accounts shall be subject to a first ranking Security Interest in favour of the Secured Parties. The relevant Obligors shall forthwith upon any change to the Account Bank, or upon opening any Project Account which is not subject to the security constituted by the relevant Security Documents, execute and deliver to the Security Agent such supplemental Security Documents as the Security Agent and the Facility Agent may reasonably require in order to create a first priority Security Interest over that Project Account in favour of the Finance Parties. Such supplemental Security Documents must be in a form and in substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent and the Security Agent.

		
	(B)
	Subject to paragraph (C) below, the Original Borrower shall, before any Project Account is opened (other than in a country in which a Borrowing Base Asset is situated excluding Ghana), procure that the Obligor and the Account Bank have entered into the Project Accounts Agreements.

		
	(C)
	The obligations under paragraphs (A) and (B) above shall not apply to the KES Offshore Proceeds Account, the KEISL Offshore Proceeds Account and the KEM Offshore Proceeds Account unless the Greater Tortue Block Assets are designated as Borrowing Base Assets. The Obligors will satisfy their obligations under paragraphs (A) and (B) above, if the relevant Greater Tortue Security Documents are executed in accordance with Clause 19.3(B) (New Borrowing Base Assets and removal of Borrowing Base Assets).

		
	(D)
	In the case of execution of any of the Security Documents and Project Accounts Agreements referred to in paragraphs (A) and (B) above, the Original Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent documents which are the equivalent of those referred to in paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 (Conditions Precedent) in respect of such Security Documents and Project Accounts Agreements, together with any legal opinions 

    

98

which the Facility Agent may reasonably require, such legal opinions to be provided at the reasonable expense of the Original Borrower. All such documents must be in a form and in substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent.
		
	(E)
	The detailed operating procedures for the Project Accounts will be agreed between the relevant Obligor which maintains that Project Account and each Account Bank, but in the event of any inconsistency between those procedures and the Project Accounts Agreements or this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

		
	1.5
	Control on withdrawals following Default

If a Default has occurred and is continuing and has not been waived, no Obligor may withdraw any moneys from the Project Accounts except:
		
	(A)
	with the prior consent of the Facility Agent;

		
	(B)
	to meet an Obligor’s payment obligations under the Finance Documents (but not any payment obligations owed to any Junior Finance Party or the Proceeds Agent, each as defined in the KEFI Intercreditor Agreement) or the Project Agreements on the relevant due date; or

		
	(C)
	to pay for Project Costs not included in paragraph (B) above where:

		
	(i)
	the payment in question has been budgeted for and the Facility Agent have given their written consent to the relevant expenditure or cost being incurred; or

		
	(ii)
	the failure to make the payment in question would materially and adversely affect the business or financial condition of the Borrowers or any other Obligor.

		
	1.6
	Distributions Reserve Account

		
	(A)
	Each Obligor may maintain a Distributions Reserve Account into which the amount of any permitted distribution under clause 28.23 (Distributions), permitted indebtedness and contributions to the capital of an Obligor may be credited subject to compliance with the Cash Waterfall and such amounts shall not be subordinated to the rights of the Lenders. Amounts standing to the credit of the Distributions Reserve Accounts shall not be available to the Finance Parties whether as secured or unsecured creditors of the relevant Obligor and irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred. The Obligors may grant security over their Distributions Reserve Account in favour of any person and shall not be required to grant any Security Interest over the Distributions Reserve Account in favour of the Finance Parties. Sums standing to the credit of the Distributions Reserve Accounts may be withdrawn and applied as the Obligor sees fit.

		
	(B)
	The Lenders will account to KEH and/or the relevant Obligor if and to the extent they receive any proceeds from a Distributions Reserve Account or any account of KEO (which is not a Project Account), and shall hold any such moneys to the account of, and on trust for, KEH or, as the case may be, KEO. If any other person has a Security Interest or claim against amounts standing to the credit of a Distributions Reserve Account, any such interest or claim shall be limited to these amounts and they shall not have recourse to the assets of any Obligor generally, nor shall they 

    

99

be entitled to make any claim or enforce against, or initiate any Insolvency Proceedings of any kind, against any Obligor.
		
	(C)
	Any Lender that is in receipt of proceeds as described in paragraph (B) above, shall turnover such proceeds to KEH or, as the case may be, KEO in accordance with paragraph (C) of clause 20.2 (Other bank accounts) above.

		
	2.
	Operation of the Offshore Proceeds Accounts

		
	2.1
	Payments in

Unless a Finance Document expressly requires an amount to be paid into any other Project Account, each Obligor must ensure that:
		
	(A)
	all Gross Revenues received;

		
	(B)
	the proceeds of any Loan or amounts received under an Intercompany Loan Agreement pursuant to clauses 5.1(D), 21.2(A)(ii) and 21.2(A)(iii);

		
	(C)
	the proceeds of repayment of any loan made pursuant to any FPSO Construction Financing;

		
	(D)
	the proceeds of any Permitted Disposals; and

		
	(E)
	any other amount payable to, or received by an Obligor (including payments received under any offtake contract (and the Obligors shall direct any person making such payments that any such payment shall be paid into that account only)), but excluding any amount which may be:

		
	(i)
	credited to the Distributions Reserve Account of the Original Borrower;

		
	(ii)
	lent to an Obligor under an Intercompany Loan Agreement pursuant to clause 21.2(A)(viii); or

		
	(iii)
	credited to an account of KEO (which is not a Project Account),

	2.2
	Withdrawals – No Default Outstanding

		
	(A)
	Subject to paragraph (B) below, unless otherwise provided and unless there is a Default outstanding, amounts may only be withdrawn from the Offshore Proceeds Accounts and the Onshore Working Capital Accounts (including by way of transfer to any other account) if they are applied for the following purposes and subject to the following priority:

		
	(i)
	first, payment of Project Costs provided that, if the latest Sources And Uses Statement shows that there is a shortfall in funding projected to be available, then such available funding must, unless the Majority Lenders otherwise agree, be allocated to meet costs in the following order of priority:

		
	(a)
	the Ghana Contract Area and the EG Contract Area;

		
	(b)
	the Greater Tortue Contract Area; and

    

100

		
	(c)
	any other Project Costs.

In the event that there is any projected shortfall in funding, then the Facility may not be used for a purpose set out above unless each of the other purposes higher in the order of priority is fully funded by committed and available funding for the then applicable Forecast Period (including amounts under the Facility and assuming that there is no Default or Event of Default under the Finance Documents).
		
	(ii)
	secondly, pari passu, payment of (or the funding of an Obligor, including by way of payment under any Intercompany Loan Agreement, to enable it to pay) any Financing Costs (excluding any payments of principal) under the Facility due but unpaid (applied to overdue amounts first, unpaid fees second, and unpaid interest third) or scheduled payments due but unpaid under a Hedging Agreement;

		
	(iii)
	thirdly, pari passu, payments of (or the funding of an Obligor, including by way of payment under any Intercompany Loan Agreement to enable it to pay) principal under the Facility due but unpaid (applied to overdue amounts first and then to unpaid principal payments) and payment of (or the funding of a Borrower, including by way of payment under any Intercompany Loan Agreement to enable it to pay) any liabilities, including any early termination payment, due but unpaid under a Hedging Agreement;

		
	(iv)
	fourthly, payment of any mandatory prepayments required because the outstandings under the Facility exceed the Borrowing Base Amount as determined by the most recent Forecast;

		
	(v)
	fifthly, payment of Scheduled KEL Debt Payments which are made by way of a Scheduled KEL Debt Payment Distribution;

		
	(vi)
	sixthly, payments required to be made into the DSRA up to the Required Balance;

		
	(vii)
	seventhly, prepayments under the Finance Documents and/or providing cash collateral under any Letter of Credit; and

		
	(viii)
	lastly, so long as the Dividend Release Test is met, to make distributions to its shareholders at the relevant Borrower’s discretion, which shall include making payments to the Distributions Reserve Account and payments under any Intercompany Loan Agreement provided that the amount distributed shall be based on the aggregate amount standing to the credit of the Offshore Proceeds Accounts on the relevant payment date after the amounts in (i) to (vii) above have been deducted.

		
	(B)
	Notwithstanding paragraph (A) above, so long as the Dividend Release Test is met, a Borrower may make a Utilisation in order to deposit an amount directly into a Distribution Reserve Account in an amount less than or equal to the amount by which the funding which is projected to be available to meet costs exceeds the aggregate costs (for these purposes excluding Shareholder Distributions), in each case, as set out in the latest Sources and Uses Statement.

	Debt Service Reserve Account

		
	3.1
	Funding of Debt Service Reserve Account

		
	(A)
	The Original Borrower shall ensure on an ongoing basis that deposits are made into the Debt Service Reserve Account in accordance with the Cash Waterfall until the balance of such account is not less than the Required Balance. The funding of the Debt Service Reserve Account shall continue in accordance with the Cash Waterfall until the Discharge Date.

		
	(B)
	Failure to maintain the Required Balance standing to the credit of the Debt Service Reserve Account shall not constitute an Event of Default for the purposes of clause 29 (Events of Default), but failure to apply amounts from the Project Accounts during the relevant Forecast Period in accordance with the Cash Waterfall shall constitute an Event of Default for the purposes of clause 29 (Events of Default).

		
	(C)
	Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (A) and (B) above, a Borrower may (without being restricted by the Cash Waterfall) make a Utilisation under the Facility to fund the Debt Service Reserve Account.

		
	3.2
	Withdrawals from Debt Service Reserve Account

		
	(A)
	Subject to paragraph (B) below, amounts standing to the credit of the Debt Service Reserve Account may be withdrawn only to pay any Financing Costs under the Facility and to make Scheduled KEL Debt Payments in accordance with the Cash Waterfall.

		
	(B)
	In addition, withdrawals may be made from the Debt Service Reserve Account to the extent the amount withdrawn is equal to or less than the amount (if any) by which the amount standing to the credit of the Debt Service Reserve Account exceeds the applicable Required Balance at that time. Any such withdrawal may be applied in accordance with, and for the purposes set out in, the Cash Waterfall.

		
	4.
	Authorised Investments

		
	4.1
	Power of investment

Subject always to clause 20.1 (Project Accounts), an Obligor may require that such part of the amounts standing to the credit of any of the Project Accounts as it may consider prudent (having reasonable grounds for so considering) shall be invested from time to time in Authorised Investments in accordance with this clause 23 and in a manner consistent with the provisions of clause 28.17(A) (Hedging).
		
	4.2
	Type of investment

		
	(A)
	The Obligors shall use their reasonable endeavours to procure that there are maintained from time to time a prudent spread of Authorised Investments and that the maturity of Authorised Investments is such that they can be liquidated to enable all payment obligations under the Finance Documents to be met on the due date.

		
	(B)
	If any Authorised Investment ceases to be an Authorised Investment, the relevant Obligor which maintains that Authorised Investment will, as soon as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware of this, procure that the relevant investment is replaced by an Authorised Investment or cash, provided that if it does not propose 

    

102

liquidating the relevant investment earlier than its maturity, it shall notify the Facility Agent that such investment is no longer an Authorised Investment promptly upon becoming aware of this and, subject to it having provided such notice, it will not be obliged to liquidate such investment before its maturity date unless the Facility Agent, acting reasonably, requests it to do so.
		
	4.3
	Realisations

		
	(A)
	Upon the realisation (whether by way of disposal, maturity or otherwise) of any Authorised Investment, the net proceeds of realisation shall either immediately be credited directly to the Project Account from which the Authorised Investment or such investment was made, or (unless a Default has occurred and is continuing) immediately be invested in another Authorised Investment, whichever the relevant Obligor directs.

		
	(B)
	Upon the receipt of any interest, dividends or other income from or in respect of any Authorised Investment, such interest, dividends or other income shall be credited to the Project Account concerned with the Authorised Investment or such other investment from which such interest, dividend or other income derives, or (if such interest, dividend or other income is derived from an Authorised Investment and such Authorised Investment is to be retained after such interest, dividend or other income is received and the relevant Obligor so requests) the relevant interest, dividend or other income shall be reinvested in that Authorised Investment.

		
	4.4
	Project Accounts include Authorised Investments

		
	(A)
	Any reference in this Agreement to the balance standing to the credit of one of the Project Accounts shall be deemed to include a reference to the Authorised Investments in which all or part of such balance is for the time being invested. (other than for the purposes of determining the balance required to comply with clause 20.1 (Project Accounts)). In the event of any dispute as to the value of any Authorised Investment for the purpose of determining the amount deemed to be standing to the credit of a Project Account, that value shall be determined by the Facility Agent acting reasonably and in good faith and following consultation with the Original Borrower and having given due consideration to any representations given by the Original Borrower within the period required by the Facility Agent (which period shall not, in any event, be of shorter duration than five Business Days). If the Original Borrower so requests, the Facility Agent will give the Original Borrower details of the basis or method of its determination.

		
	(B)
	An Obligor may, by notice in writing to the Facility Agent and the relevant Account Bank, deem an Authorised Investment to be concerned with a different Project Account so as to transfer Authorised Investments between Project Accounts, if:

		
	(i)
	the aggregate amount standing to the credit of each Project Account remains the same; or

		
	(ii)
	the transfer of an equivalent amount between those Project Accounts would be permitted.

		
	4.5
	Security over Authorised Investments

Prior to an Obligor making any Authorised Investment in England, that Obligor shall ensure that it has entered into the Offshore Security Assignment. To the extent that any Authorised 

    

103

Investment is made in a jurisdiction other than England, the relevant Obligor shall execute and deliver, such other security as the Facility Agent may reasonably require from time to time in order to ensure that such Authorised Investment is secured to the Finance Parties by way of first priority security, in a form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent and the Security Agent, acting reasonably.
		
	4.6
	Interest on balances in Project Accounts

Each sum credited to a Project Account from time to time shall, from the time it is so credited until the time it is withdrawn therefrom (whether for the purpose of making an Authorised Investment or otherwise for application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), bear interest at such rate as the relevant Obligor may from time to time agree with the relevant Account Bank.

PART 11     
CHANGES TO LENDERS AND OBLIGORS AND ROLES

		
	1.
	Changes to the Lenders

		
	1.1
	Assignments and transfers and changes in Facility Office by the Lenders

Subject to this clause, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:
		
	(A)
	(i)    assign any of its rights; or

		
	(i)
	transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations, 

to an Affiliate, another Lender, an Affiliate of another Lender or a Qualifying Bank, another bank or financial institution or to a trust or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets or such other institution as the Original Borrower may agree in writing (the “New Lender”), or
		
	(B)
	change its Facility Office.

		
	1.2
	Conditions of assignment and transfer or change in Facility Office

    

137

		
	(A)
	The consent of the Original Borrower is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is (i) to, or in favour of, another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Qualifying Bank; or (ii) made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.

		
	(B)
	The consent of the Original Borrower is required for a change in Facility Office to a different jurisdiction (other than, in the case of Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited, a change in its Facility Office to a Facility Office located in the Republic of Ireland). In the case of a change of Facility Office for which the Original Borrower’s consent is not required, the Lender must notify the Original Borrower of the new Facility Office promptly on the change taking effect.

		
	(C)
	The consent of the Original Borrower to an assignment or transfer or change in Facility Office must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and will be deemed to have been given five Business Days after the relevant Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Original Borrower within that time).

		
	(D)
	In the event a Letter of Credit is outstanding, transfer or assignment of a Commitment shall require the prior consent of each LC Issuing Bank.

		
	(E)
	An assignment will only be effective on:

		
	(i)
	receipt by the Facility Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender;

		
	(ii)
	the New Lender entering into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the relevant Finance Documents (including, but not limited to, the Intercreditor Agreement); and

		
	(iii)
	performance by the Facility Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender (such checks not to be unreasonably held or delayed), the completion of which the Facility Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

		
	(F)
	A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in clause 30.5 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

		
	(G)
	If:

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

		
	(ii)
	as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under clause 15 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or clause 16 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

    

138

		
	(H)
	Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Facility Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with the Finance Documents on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement.

		
	(I)
	Any assignment or transfer of part of the Existing Lender’s rights and/or obligations must be a minimum of USD 5 million and must not result in the Existing Lender retaining less than USD 5 million.

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

		
	1.3
	Assignment or transfer fee

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Facility Agent (for its own account) a fee of USD 2,500.
		
	1.4
	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

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

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

		
	(ii)
	the financial condition of any Obligor;

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

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

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.
		
	(B)
	Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

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

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

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

    

139

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

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

		
	1.5
	Procedure for transfer

		
	(A)
	Subject to the conditions set out in clause 30.2 (Conditions of assignment and transfer or change in Facility Office) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (C) below when the Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate on behalf of the other Finance Parties and the Obligors as well as itself, and notify the Original Borrower of the date of the transfer and name of the New Lender. Each Finance Party and each Obligor irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to sign such a Transfer Certificate on its behalf.

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

		
	(C)
	Subject to clause 30.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

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

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

		
	(iii)
	the Facility Agent, each Mandated Lead Arranger, the New Lender and the other Finance Parties shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent such Finance Parties and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

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

		
	1.6
	Copy of Transfer Certificate to the Original Borrower

    

140

The Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, send to the Original Borrower a copy of that Transfer Certificate.
		
	1.7
	Disclosure of information

		
	(A)
	Any Finance Party, its officers and agents may disclose to any of its Affiliates (including its head office, representative and branch offices in any jurisdiction) (each a “Permitted Party”) and:

		
	(i)
	to any person (or through) whom that Finance Party assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or any adviser on a need to know basis advising such person on any of the foregoing);

		
	(ii)
	to a professional adviser or a service provider of the Permitted Parties on a need to know basis advising such person on the rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or to an auditor of any Permitted Party on a need to know basis;

		
	(iii)
	with (or through) whom that Finance Party enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, this Agreement or any Obligor (or any adviser of any of the foregoing on a need to know basis advising such person on the rights and obligations under the Finance Documents);

		
	(iv)
	to any person appointed by that Finance Party to provide administration or settlement services in respect of one or more of the Finance Documents (including in relation to the trading of participations in respect of the Finance Documents) only on a need to know basis;

		
	(v)
	to any rating agency (provided only general terms are disclosed in relation to the rating of a portfolio of assets), insurer or insurance broker, a direct or indirect provider of credit protection in respect of the Finance Party’s participation in the Facility only on a need to know basis;

		
	(vi)
	to whom and to the extent that information is required to be disclosed by any court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental, banking, taxation or other regulatory authority or similar body, the rules of any relevant stock exchange or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation;

		
	(vii)
	subject to paragraph (B) below, to whom and to the extent that information is required to be disclosed in connection with, and for the purposes of, any litigation, arbitration, administrative or other investigations, proceedings or disputes;

		
	(viii)
	to any other party to this Agreement; or

		
	(ix)
	to any person with the consent of the Original Borrower,

any information about any Obligor, the Group and the Finance Documents as that Finance Party shall consider appropriate if, in relation to paragraphs (i) to (iv) and (ix) above, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality Undertaking (unless such person is already subject to professional 

    

141

confidentiality requirements which are no less stringent than those which are set out in a Confidentiality Undertaking) and provided that it shall itself ensure that all such information is kept confidential and is protected with security measures and a degree of care that would apply to its own confidential information.
		
	(B)
	If a Finance Party is required to make any disclosure in accordance with paragraph (A)(vii) above, it shall promptly notify the Original Borrower upon becoming aware of that requirement, save that there shall be no requirement to notify (1) where prohibited under law or regulation, (2) where prohibited under the applicable rules relating to the relevant procedure or situation described in paragraph (A)(vii), or (3) where notification would prejudice the position of the Finance Party under the relevant procedure or situation described in paragraph (A)(vii).

		
	1.8
	Security over Lenders’ rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this clause 30, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create any Security Interest in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:
		
	(A)
	any charge, assignment or other Security Interest to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

		
	(B)
	in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security Interest granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, assignment or Security Interest shall:
		
	(i)
	release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Security Interest for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

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

		
	1.9
	Pro rata interest settlement

		
	(A)
	If the Facility Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to clause 30.5 (Procedure for transfer) the Transfer Date of which is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):

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

    

142

Months, on the next of the dates which falls at six Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and
		
	(ii)
	the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

		
	(a)
	when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable to the Existing Lender; and

		
	(b)
	the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this clause 30.9 (Pro rata interest settlement), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

		
	(B)
	In this clause 30.9 (Pro rata interest settlement) references to “Interest Period” shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.

		
	(C)
	An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this clause 30.9 (Pro rata interest settlement) but which does not have a Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents.

	A retiring Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.

	(i)
	the Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under clause 13.5 (FATCA Information) and the Original Borrower or a Lender reasonably believes that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

		
	(ii)
	the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to clause 13.5 (FATCA Information) indicates that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

		
	(iii)
	the Facility Agent notifies the Original Borrower and the Lenders that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

and (in each case) the Original Borrower or a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Facility Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and the Original Borrower or that Lender, by notice to the Facility Agent, requires it to resign.
		
	3.13
	Replacement of Administrative Parties

		
	(A)
	If:

	(ii)
	if the Facility Agent, the Security Agent or an LC Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates repudiates its obligations under the Facility or (in its capacity as Lender) becomes a Non-Funding Lender,

The Original Borrower shall be entitled to request that the Majority Lenders appoint within 10 Business Days either a co-Agent or additional LC Issuing Bank or a replacement Agent or replacement LC Issuing Bank from one of their number or (subject to reasonable consultation with the Original Borrower), from outside the Lender group.

149

		
	(C)

	Confidentiality

		
	(A)
	In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, an Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency division or, in the case of the Technical and Modelling Bank, through the relevant division performing the role which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments.

		
	(B)
	If information is received by another division or department of an Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the relevant Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.

Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms to each Agent and each Mandated Lead Arranger that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to:
		
	(A)
	the financial condition, status and nature of the Guarantor and each member of the Group;

	(D)
	the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the Final Information Memorandum and any other information provided by the Agents, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document.

		
	3.17
	Deductions from amounts payable by Agents

    

150

If any Party owes an amount to an Agent under the Finance Documents, the Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents, that Party shall be regarded as having received any amounts so deducted.
		
	3.18
	Accession to the KEFI Intercreditor Agreement

		
	(A)
	Each Finance Party and each Obligor agrees that any collateral agent, trustee or other representative of the HY Noteholders may enter into and accede to the KEFI Intercreditor Agreement, the KEL Guarantee and the Charge over Shares in KEH for and on behalf of itself and each HY Noteholder without the requirement for any consent or approvals from the Finance Parties or the Obligors (or any of them). Such accession shall confer upon the HY Noteholders all of the rights and privileges set out in the relevant agreement. The Original Borrower may by five Business Days written notice (the “Amendment Notice Period”) to the Facility Agent request that such amendments and/or additions be made to the KEFI Intercreditor Agreement as any collateral agent, trustee or other representative of the HY Noteholders (whether appointed at that time or not) may reasonably require (the “HY Noteholder Trustee Amendments”). During the Amendment Notice Period, either:

		
	(i)
	the Security Agent shall enter into any agreement effecting the HY Noteholder Trustee Amendments, on the instructions of the Majority Lenders; or

		
	(ii)
	the Facility Agent shall notify the Original Borrower in writing of any determination by the Majority Lenders that the HY Noteholder Trustee Amendments would materially and adversely prejudice their interests.

		
	(B)
	If, on the instructions of the Majority Lenders, the Facility Agent is required to make the notification described in paragraph (A)(ii) above, the Facility Agent shall promptly contact the Original Borrower in writing, setting out in reasonable detail the basis and reasons for that decision and the changes which the Majority Lenders (acting reasonably) would require for the Security Agent to enter into the KEFI Intercreditor Agreement with the HY Noteholder Trustee Amendments incorporated. If such changes are made, then the Security Agent will be deemed to have been instructed by the Majority Lenders promptly to enter into any agreement effecting the HY Noteholder Amendments, together with the changes required by the Majority Lenders.

		
	3.19
	Execution of the KEFI Intercreditor Agreement

The Security Agent is irrevocably authorised for and on behalf of each Finance Party and the Original Borrower is irrevocably authorised for and on behalf of each Obligor to enter into the KEFI Intercreditor Agreement in a form as substantially approved by the Majority Lenders and to enter into any agreements amending or adding to the KEFI Intercreditor Agreement when approved pursuant to clause 32.18 (Accession to the KEFI Intercreditor Agreement) above, and each Finance Party and each Obligor shall be bound by the terms of each such agreements when executed by the Security Agent and by the Original Borrower respectively, including any terms which impose obligations upon the Finance Parties or the Obligors.

	1.1
	Payments to the Facility Agent

		
	(A)
	On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document (other than any Hedging Agreement), that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Facility Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Facility Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

		
	(B)
	Payment shall be made to such account in London (or, as the case may be, Paris or New York) as the Facility Agent specifies.

		
	1.2
	Distributions by the Facility Agent

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall be made available by the Facility Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Facility Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank in London (or, as the case may be, Paris or New York).
		
	1.3
	Clawback

		
	(A)
	Where a sum is to be paid to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Facility Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

		
	(B)
	If the Facility Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Facility Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Facility Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Facility Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Facility Agent, calculated by the Facility Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

		
	1.4
	Partial Payments

If the Facility Agent receives a payment for application against amounts due in respect of any Finance Documents that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under those Finance Documents, the Facility Agent shall apply that payment 

    

153

towards the obligations of that Obligor under those Finance Documents in accordance with the Cash Waterfall. This clause will override any appropriation made by an Obligor.
		
	1.5
	No set-off by Obligors

	Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

		
	(B)
	During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under the Finance Documents, interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the original due date.

		
	1.7

	(A)

	(B)
	A repayment of a Utilisation or Unpaid Sum or a part of a Utilisation or Unpaid Sum shall be made in the currency in which that Utilisation or Unpaid Sum is denominated on its due date.

		
	(C)
	Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the sum in respect of which the interest is payable was denominated when that interest accrued.

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

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

		
	1.8
	Change of currency

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

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

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

    

154

		
	(B)
	If a change in any currency of a country occurs, the Parties will enter negotiations in good faith with a view to agreeing any amendments which may be necessary to this Agreement to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the London interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

		
	1.9
	Disruption to Payment Systems etc.

If either the Facility Agent determines (acting reasonably) that a Disruption Event has occurred or the Facility Agent is notified by the Original Borrower that a Disruption Event has occurred:

	(B)
	the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to consult with the Original Borrower in relation to any changes mentioned in paragraph (A) above if, in its reasonable opinion, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances and, in any event, shall have no obligation to agree to such changes;

		
	(C)
	the Facility Agent may consult with the Finance Parties in relation to any changes mentioned in paragraph (A) above but shall not be obliged to do so if, in its opinion, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances;

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

		
	(E)
	the Facility Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Facility Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this clause; and

		
	(F)
	the Facility Agent shall notify the Finance Parties of all changes agreed pursuant to paragraph (D) above.

		
	2.
	Set-Off

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and without prejudice to the rights of the Finance Parties at law, at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and which is continuing, a Finance Party (other than a Non-Funding Lender) may, on giving notice to the relevant Obligor, set off any matured obligation due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

PART 13     
GOVERNING LAW AND ENFORCEMENT

		
	1.
	Governing Law

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

		
	2.
	Jurisdiction

		
	2.1
	Arbitration

All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement including its subject matter, existence, negotiation, validity, termination or enforceability (including any non-contractual dispute or claim) between one or several of the Finance Parties on the one hand and one or several Obligors on the other hand (a “Dispute”) shall be referred to arbitration and finally settled on the following terms:
		
	(A)
	the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) (the “Rules”), which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause;

		
	(B)
	the seat of the arbitration shall be London;

		
	(C)
	the language of the arbitration shall be English;

		
	(D)
	there shall be three arbitrators; and

		
	(E)
	the arbitration agreement in this clause 45.1 and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

		
	2.2
	Consolidation and joinder of Disputes

In this clause:
“Consolidation Order” means an order by a tribunal that a Primary Arbitration and Later Arbitration be resolved in the same arbitral proceedings.
“Joinder Order” means an order by a tribunal that a party to this Agreement may be joined to an arbitration that it was not previously a party to.
“Primary Arbitration” means, where there is more than one arbitration commenced under this Agreement, the arbitration first commenced (to be conclusively determined by the ICC Court in the event of a dispute).

    

164

“Later Arbitration” means, where there is more than one arbitration commenced under this Agreement, any arbitration other than the Primary Arbitration.
		
	2.3
	Joinder

		
	(A)
	Each party consents to be joined as a party to an arbitration commenced under this Agreement on the terms provided by paragraphs (B) and (C) below. Each party consents to the joinder of any party to this Agreement to an arbitration under this Agreement on the terms provided by paragraphs (B) and (C) below.

		
	(B)
	Within 30 days from the date on which a Request for Arbitration (as defined in Article 4 of the Rules) is served on all parties to the Request for Arbitration (the “Initial Joinder Period”), any party to the arbitration may effect joinder by serving notice on any party to this Agreement whom it seeks to join, copying the other parties to the Request for Arbitration. The joined party will become a claimant or respondent party (to be finally determined by the ICC Court in the event of a dispute) to the arbitration and participate in the arbitrator appointment process in clause 45.5 (Appointment of arbitrators).

		
	(C)
	After the Initial Joinder Period has ended, any party to the Request for Arbitration may submit a request for arbitration against the additional party (the “Request for Joinder”) to the Secretariat and promptly notify all parties to the Request for Arbitration and the party it seeks to join of that application. On hearing such application, the tribunal may, if it considers appropriate, make a Joinder Order. Notice of such Joinder Order must be given to all parties to the Request for Arbitration, the joined party and the Secretariat.

		
	2.4
	Consolidation

		
	(A)
	Any party to either a Primary Arbitration or one or more Later Arbitration(s) may apply to the ICC Court for a Consolidation Order in relation to any Later Arbitration(s). That party must also send such applications to all parties to the Primary Arbitration and the Later Arbitration. The relevant provisions of the Rules shall apply.

		
	(B)
	Each party to this Agreement waives any objection, on the basis of joinder, a Joinder Order or a Consolidation Order, to the validity and/or enforcement of any arbitral award made by a tribunal following any joinder, Joinder Order or Consolidation Order and such award shall be binding whether or not the parties to this Agreement participate in the arbitration. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes a waiver of any objection that the joinder, Joinder Order or Consolidation Order has resulted in a party to this Agreement being deprived of any right to participate in the nomination of the arbitrators.

		
	2.5
	Appointment of arbitrators

The tribunal shall be three arbitrators selected as follows:
		
	(A)
	if there are two parties to the arbitration, and neither party has exercised the right to joinder within the Initial Joinder Period, each party to the arbitration will nominate one arbitrator within 20 days after the end of the Initial Joinder Period. The two arbitrators so nominated shall jointly nominate a third arbitrator who shall act as presiding arbitrator within 30 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If an arbitrator is not nominated within the time prescribed above, the appointment shall, at the request of either party to the arbitration, be made by the ICC Court;

    

165

		
	(B)
	if there are more than two parties to the arbitration, or at least one of the parties has exercised the right to joinder within the Initial Joinder Period, the claimant(s) will jointly nominate one arbitrator and the respondent(s) will jointly nominate one arbitrator, both within 30 days after the end of the Initial Joinder Period. The two arbitrators so nominated shall jointly nominate a third arbitrator who shall act as presiding arbitrator within 30 days of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If an arbitrator is not nominated within the time prescribed above, the appointment shall, at the request of either party to the arbitration, be made by the ICC Court. Any existing nomination or confirmation of the arbitrator chosen by the party or parties on the other side of the proposed arbitration shall be unaffected, and the remaining arbitrator(s) shall be appointed in accordance with the Rules;

		
	(C)
	each Finance Party agrees that the Facility Agent, acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders, shall exercise the right of appointment of an arbitrator for the Finance Parties where more than one Finance Party is party to the Dispute; and

		
	(D)
	each party to this Agreement expressly agrees and consents to this process for nominating and appointing the arbitral tribunal and, if this clause operates to exclude a party’s right to choose its own arbitrator, irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to do so.

		
	2.6
	Confidentiality

The Parties shall keep confidential and not disclose to any non-party the existence of the arbitration or the content of the arbitral proceedings (including all awards and orders in the arbitration, as well as all materials created for the purpose of the arbitration not otherwise in the public domain), save and to the extent that a disclosure may be required of a party by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right or to enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings before a state court or other judicial authority.
		
	2.7
	Inter-bank disputes

The Finance Parties irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, or the subject matter, existence, negotiation, validity, termination or enforceability (including any non-contractual dispute or claim) of this Agreement, involving one or several Finance Parties with no involvement of any Obligor.

		
	3.
	Service of Process

		
	(A)
	Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each of the Obligors:

		
	(i)
	irrevocably appoints KEISL of 10 Stratton Street, 6th Floor, Mayfair, London W1J 8LG (the “Process Agent”) as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any Finance Document;

		
	(ii)
	irrevocably agrees that any Service Document may be sufficiently and effectively served on it in connection with any Dispute in England and Wales by service on the Process Agent (or any replacement agent appointed pursuant to paragraph (C) of this clause 46 (Service of Process); and

    

166

		
	(iii)
	irrevocably agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the relevant Obligor of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

		
	(B)
	KEISL confirms its acceptance of its irrevocable appointment as agent for service of process pursuant to this clause 46.

		
	(C)
	If the agent referred to in paragraph (A) of this clause 46 (or any replacement agent appointed pursuant to this paragraph (C)) at any time ceases for any reason to act as such, as the case may be, each Obligor shall as soon as reasonably practicable appoint a replacement agent to accept service having an address for service in England or Wales and shall notify the Facility Agent of the name and address of the replacement agent; failing such appointment and notification, the agent referred to in paragraph (A) of this clause 46 (or any replacement agent appointed pursuant to this paragraph (C)) shall continue to be authorised to act as agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts on behalf of the relevant Obligor and service of process on that agent shall constitute good service.

		
	(D)
	Any document addressed in accordance with paragraph (A) shall be deemed to have been duly served if:

		
	(i)
	left at the specified address, when it is left; or

		
	(ii)
	sent by first class post, two clear Business Days after posting.

		
	(E)
	For the purposes of this clause 46, “Service Document” means a writ, summons, order, judgment or other document relating to or in connection with any Dispute. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

		
	4.
	Contractual recognition of bail-in

Notwithstanding any other term of any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the Parties, each Party acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any Party to any other Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:
		
	(A)
	any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):

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

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

		
	(iii)
	a cancellation of any such liability; and

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

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

Schedule 2     
Schedule of Insurances
1.    INSURANCE COVER
1.1    Scope and Duration of Insurances
Each Obligor shall, insofar as it is applicable to that Obligor’s business, maintain, as a Named Insured, those insurances set out in Part 1 of the Appendix to this Schedule (the “Third Party Insurances”) and Part 2 of the Appendix to this Schedule (the “First Party Insurances”) (together the “Insurances”).
The obligation to maintain and procure insurance shall exclude any insurance to the extent that the cover to be maintained is not available on reasonable commercial terms or no longer reflects insurance which would be implemented and maintained in accordance with good international offshore oil industry practice or ceases to be generally available in the market.
(A)    Legal or Contractual Requirements
Without prejudice to the other provisions of this Schedule and any other provisions of the Restated Facility Agreement, the relevant Obligor shall effect and maintain in full force and effect those Insurances which it is required to effect from time to time by any applicable law or by the terms of any Project Agreement to which it is, at any time, a party.
		
	(B)
	Supplementary Insurance

Any Obligor may, at any time, effect such other insurances (“Supplementary Insurances”) in addition to or supplementing those referred to elsewhere in this Schedule in accordance with prudent industry practice provided that such Supplementary Insurances shall not adversely affect any insured party’s rights or ability to recover under the Insurances and Project Reinsurances (as defined below).
1.2    Actions of the Finance Parties
For the purpose of this Schedule, any Finance Party who is required to take any action or exercise any discretion under this Schedule shall act reasonably and in good faith and in consultation with the Original Borrower.
1.3    Finance Party Beneficiary as Additional Assureds
In respect of the Third Party Insurances and Project Reinsurances (as defined below) in respect of Third Party Insurances, the Security Agent’s and the Finance Parties’ officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and servants shall be an additional assured (each a “Finance Party Beneficiary” and together the “Finance Party Beneficiaries”), in each case, for its rights and interests (other than insurances for risks associated with motor vehicle insurances or workers’ compensation/employer’s liability insurances).
1.4    Loss Payable Arrangements
Each First Party Insurance policy shall contain a loss payable clause (and, with respect to Project Reinsurances (as defined below) a loss payable/cut-through) in the form set out in Appendix 2 below, or in any form agreed between the Original Borrower and the Security Agent (acting reasonably).

    

214

1.5    Application of Loss Proceeds
All loss proceeds received by an Obligor are to be dealt with in accordance with Clause 10.5 of the Restated Facility Agreement (Insurance Receipts).
1.6    Assignment of Insurance
Please refer to the Security Documents as regards the assignment of the Insurances and the respective notices.
2.    ADDITIONAL OBLIGOR REQUIREMENTS
2.1    Placement of Insurances
		
	(A)
	The Obligors shall only place Insurances with underwriters and insurance companies constituted under the laws of locations where that Obligor is operating, or who are carrying on in insurance business under the laws of locations where that Obligor is operating (each a “Local Insurer”), where (and only for so long as) it is required to do so under any applicable local law.

		
	(B)
	Subject to paragraph (A), each Obligor shall procure that each Insurance shall be placed with insurers or reinsurers other than Local Insurers (each such insurer an “International Insurer”) with a minimum rating of A - X by AM Best, A by Standard and Poor’s or a similarly reputable international rating agency, or to be otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Technical Bank (acting reasonably).

2.2    Provisions Common to all Project Reinsurances
Any reinsurances to be placed with International Insurers from time to time (the “Project Reinsurances”) shall be effected in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule and will provide cover on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as the Insurance to which it relates.
3.    GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
3.1    Status of Insurers
The Original Borrower shall procure that the Insurances are (i) effected and maintained only with underwriters or insurance companies (including reinsurance companies) which are licensed or otherwise authorised to carry on and/or underwrite the category of insurance or reinsurance business which is to be undertaken, and (ii) other than in respect of Local Insurers, placed with insurance or reinsurance companies that have, or whose obligations are guaranteed by, a parent company that has an investment grade rating as referenced above in paragraph 2.1(B).
3.2    Compliance with Insurances
The relevant Obligor shall:
		
	(A)
	promptly and diligently perform and comply with the terms and conditions of each policy of Insurance (or, to the extent applicable, the Project Reinsurances);

		
	(B)
	ensure that no action is taken by it which might reasonably be foreseen to make any Insurance or Project Reinsurance void or voidable or suspended, impaired or 

    

215

defeated or which may otherwise result in any sum paid out under any policy becoming repayable; and
		
	(C)
	maintain appropriate procedures for risk management and reporting.

3.3    Payment of Premiums
		
	(A)
	Premiums

Each Obligor shall promptly pay all insurance premiums, fees and any other monies due and payable by it in respect of placing and maintaining the Insurances and the Project Reinsurances in full force and effect. Each Obligor shall, as far as it is able by exercising rights under the Insurances, use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that all International Insurers are promptly paid by local Insurers.
		
	(B)
	Payment of Premiums in Default

If any Obligor fails to comply with any of its obligations to pay any premium, fees or other moneys, the Security Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) make such payment. The Original Borrower shall reimburse the Security Agent all monies paid by it promptly upon demand.
3.4    Information as to Insurances and Reinsurances
		
	(A)
	Provision of Information

The Original Borrower shall, upon written request, give (and shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that the operator and each broker through whom any Insurances or Project Reinsurance are maintained or effected gives) to the Security Agent such material information relating to the Insurances as the Security Agent or Lenders may reasonably request including, without limitation, copies of all cover notes, endorsements, slips and policies relating thereto and evidence of the status of the underwriters and insurance companies with whom such Insurances or Project Reinsurances are placed. Such provision of information is to include all material information (as reasonably requested by the Security Agent or Lenders).
		
	(B)
	Notification

The Original Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware of the same notify the Security Agent of any event or circumstance which might cause any policy to lapse or become invalid.
		
	4.
	PLACING OF INSURANCES AND REINSURANCES BY FINANCE PARTY BENEFICIARIES

If at any time and for any reason any Insurances or Project Reinsurances or terms, conditions and endorsements required to be maintained pursuant to this Schedule shall not be in full force and effect for any reason then, without prejudice to any rights of any of the Finance Party Beneficiaries, the Security Agent shall be entitled (but not obliged) to procure on behalf of itself and the other Finance Party Beneficiaries such insurance (and, if applicable, reinsurance) or commercially reasonable (as reasonably determined by the Technical Bank and the Original Borrower) insurance alternatives. The cost of purchasing insurances or reinsurances pursuant to this paragraph shall be at the expense of the Original Borrower.

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

		
	(B)
	The Security Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the amounts payable by any Affected Obligor under this Clause 11.23 irrespective of any discharge of the Affected Obligor’s obligation to pay those amounts to the other Finance Parties resulting from failure by them to take appropriate steps, in insolvency proceedings affecting the Affected Obligor, to preserve their entitlement to be paid those amounts.

		
	(C)
	Any amount due and payable by any Affected Obligor to the Security Agent under this Clause 11.23 shall be decreased to the extent that the other Finance Parties have received (and are able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under the other provisions of the Finance Documents and any amount due and payable by any Affected Obligor to the other Finance Parties under those provisions shall be decreased to the extent that the Security Agent has received (and is able to retain) payment in full of the corresponding amount under this Clause 11.23.

		
	(D)
	The rights of the Finance Parties (other than the Security Agent) to receive payment of amounts payable by any Affected Obligor under the Finance Documents are several and are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the rights of the Security Agent to receive payment under this Clause 11.23.

		
	(E)
	All monies received or recovered by the Security Agent pursuant to this Clause 11.23 and enforcement proceeds received or recovered by the Security Agent pursuant to this Clause 11.23 shall be applied by the Security Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

		
	(F)
	For the purposes of this Clause 11.23:

		
	(i)
	“Affected Obligor” refers to any Obligor which is a party to a Relevant Security Document; and

		
	(ii)
	“Relevant Security Document” means any Security Document governed by the laws of (i) Mauritania or (ii) any other relevant jurisdiction identified by the Security Agent and notified to all the other Parties.
