AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LOANS 
 Section 2.1 Loan Commitment. 
 (a) Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make revolving loans (each, a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to each Borrower during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed the Loan Commitment, provided that the aggregate principal amount of Loans at any time outstanding to a Borrower shall not exceed the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower. 

(b) During the Availability Period, each Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, prepay or repay, and reborrow the Loans in accordance with
the provisions hereof. 
 Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedure. Each Borrower shall give the Lender written notice
(or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each borrowing to be made by such Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Notice of Borrowing”), each such Notice of Borrowing to be delivered prior to noon (London time)
three (3) Business Days before the requested date of each borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such borrowing (which shall be in an aggregate principal amount no
less than $5,000,000 or any multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) and (ii) the date of such borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). 
 Section 2.3 Optional Reduction and Termination of Loan Commitment. 
 (a) Upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Lender signed by each Borrower, the Borrowers may terminate the Loan Commitment, or permanently reduce the Loan Commitment to an amount
not less than the then Outstanding Amount of all Loans, provided that each partial reduction of the Loan Commitment shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 or more. 

  
 8 

 (b) Each reduction of the Loan Commitment shall be accompanied by a reduction of the
Borrower Sublimit of each Borrower in the proportion the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower bears to the aggregate Borrower Sublimits for both Borrowers. 
 Section 2.4 Repayment of Loans. 
 (a) Each Loan shall be
repaid in full on the Repayment Date applicable to it. If no repayment is made on the Repayment Date for a Loan then such Loan shall be deemed to have been repaid by a further Loan in the same amount which shall be deemed to have been borrowed on
the Repayment Date for the maturing Loan, and the interest rate for such further Loan shall be deemed to be reset at the Loan Interest Rate determined as of such Repayment Date. 

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.4 only applies in respect of amounts due on Repayment Dates and not in respect
of amounts due on the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, each Borrower shall repay any of its Loans then outstanding in full and shall additionally pay to the Lender all other sums, if any, then owing or accrued by it under this Agreement.

 Section 2.5 Prepayment. Upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice from a Borrower to the
Lender, such Borrower may voluntarily prepay in whole or in part its Loans without premium or penalty. 
 Section 2.6
Interest on Loans. 
 (a) Each Loan shall accrue interest at the Loan Interest Rate applicable to such Loan.

 (b) Each Borrower shall pay interest due and payable on its Loans in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date. 

(c) While an Event of Default exists or after acceleration of the Loans in accordance with Article VI, at the option of the Lender,
interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans of each Borrower (and any unpaid interest with respect thereto) will accrue at the Default Interest Rate (the “Default Interest”). All Default Interest will be payable by each
Borrower upon demand by the Lender. 
 Section 2.7 Computation of Interest. All computations of interest shall
be made by the Lender on the basis of a year of 360 days. Each determination by the Lender of an interest amount hereunder shall, except for manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. 

Section 2.8 Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date an unused
commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at the rate of 200 basis points per annum of the difference between (x) the Loan Commitment and 

  
 9 

 
(y) the average daily Outstanding Amount of all Loans during the immediately preceding calendar quarter (or other applicable shorter period). Each Borrower shall pay fifty percent (50%) of
the Commitment Fee. 
 Section 2.9 Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by
one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lender to each Borrower
and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of each Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to such Borrower’s Loans.

 Section 2.10 Payments Generally. (a) All payments by the Borrowers to the Lender hereunder
shall be made to the Lender at the Payment Office in immediately available funds without setoff or counterclaim. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of the payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 

(a) If on the Maturity Date, insufficient funds are received by and available to the Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal and
interest due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal due hereunder. 
 Section 2.11 Taxes. Any and all payments by any Borrower under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes.
If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Lender, then the Lender shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted
or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions
and withholdings of Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

Section 2.12 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Lender determines that it
is unlawful for the Lender to make Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by the Lender to each Borrower, (i) the obligation of the Lender to make or to continue Loans shall be suspended, and
(ii) if Loans are then outstanding, each Borrower shall immediately prepay such Loans. 
 Section 2.13 No Joint
and Several Liability. For the avoidance of doubt, the liability of each Borrower under this Agreement is several and not joint and each Borrower shall be liable only for its Obligations (and not those of the other Borrower) under
this Agreement.

	 	(ii)	the rate notified to the 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

(x) due to illegality on behalf of the ECA Lender or (y) due to rating related prepayments claimed by the ECA Lender, the Borrower shall in addition to the Break Costs pay (if relevant) any loss related to the re-deployment of the funds
prepaid. For the ECA Lender the Break Cost shall also include the Applicable Margin, but shall be limited to 1.00% per annum to be calculated on the prepaid amount from the date of such prepayment and to the expiry of the agreed fixed margin
period. 
 Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the
amount of its Break Cost for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

	 	(b)	declare that all or part of the Loan and the Commercial Lenders’ Guarantee together with accrued interest, and all other amounts accrued or outstanding under the
Finance Documents, be either immediately due and payable and/or payable upon demand, whereupon they shall become either immediately due and payable or payable on demand; and/or 

 

	 	(c)	start enforcement in respect of the Security Interests established by the Security Documents; and/or 

 

	 	(d)	take any other action, with or without notice to the Borrower, exercise any other right or pursue any other remedy conferred upon the Agent or the Finance Parties by

	28.	RECOURSE REQUIREMENTS AND RIGHT OF SUBROGATION 

  

	28.1	The ECA Lender Guarantors shall be irrevocably and unconditionally authorised by the Borrower upon the occurrence of an Event of Default to pay any amounts demanded by
the ECA Lender under the ECA Lender Guarantees forthwith, without any reference or further authorisation from the Borrower and, save for manifest error, without being under any duty or obligation to enquire into the justification or validity thereof
and/or dispute whether any claims or demands under the ECA Lender Guarantees are properly or validly made, and notwithstanding that the Borrower may dispute the validity of any such claim or demand the Guarantors may accept any claim or demand under
the ECA Lender Guarantees as binding upon the ECA Lender Guarantors as conclusive evidence that they as ECA Lender Guarantors thereunder are liable to pay any such amount. 

 

	28.2	Each of the ECA Lender Guarantors will when amounts have been paid by it under the (respectively) ECA Lender Guarantees, automatically and without any notice or
formalities of any kind whatsoever, only have the right of subrogation into the rights of the ECA Lender (respectively) under the Finance Documents in such amount as have been paid by GIEK and/or each Commercial Lender under the GIEK Guarantee
and/or Commercial Lenders’ Guarantee respectively, and always subject to the terms of this Agreement. The ECA Lender Guarantors shall by such subrogation have the same rights as relevant thereunder as if the Finance Documents were executed
directly in favour of the ECA Lender Guarantors as security for the ECA Lender Guarantors’ rights against the Borrower, after having honoured claims under the ECA Lender Guarantees. Each of the Obligors waives any right to dispute or delay a
subrogation of the rights under the Finance Documents to the ECA Lender Guarantors effectuated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and each of the Obligors undertakes to sign and execute any documents required by the ECA Lender Guarantors in
connection with a subrogation as aforesaid, and/or enforcement of the Finance Documents.

(Form of Transfer Certificate). 
  

	29.3	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders 

 A Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may, at any time, by executing a transfer certificate substantially in the form as set out in Schedule 6 (Form of Transfer Certificate), assign, transfer

	 	(a)	another Existing Lender or an Affiliate of an Existing Lender in a minimum transfer amount of USD 15,000,000; or 

  
 76 (123)

	 	(b)	another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund 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 (the “New Lender”), provided no Event of Default has occurred or is occurring and prior consents of the Borrower and the Agent have been given (such consents not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed and which shall be deemed to have been given fifteen (15) Business Days after being sought unless expressly refused within that period), in a minimum transfer amount of USD 15,000,000; or 

 

	 	(c)	another Existing Lender or an affiliate of an Existing Lender or a New Lender (as defined above in (b) if an Event of Default has occurred or is occurring.

	29.5	Limitations of responsibility of Existing Lenders 

  

	29.5.1	The Obligors’ performance, etc

	 	(b)	the financial condition of the Obligors; 

  

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

 

	 	(d)	the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Finance Documents or any other document. 

 

	29.5.2	New Lender’s own credit appraisal, etc 

 Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it: 
  

	 	(a)	has made (and will continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Obligors and their related entities
in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and 

 

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

  
 77 (123)

	29.5.3	Re-transfer to an Existing Lender, etc 

  

	 	Nothing	in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

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

  

	29.6	Procedure for transfer

	 	(b)	subject to Clause 29.3 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders), the Agent shall as soon as reasonably possible after receipt of a Transfer Certificate execute
the Transfer Certificate and deliver a copy of the same to each of the Existing Lender and the New Lender; and 

  

	 	(c)	subject to Clause 29.3 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders), the Transfer shall become effective on the Transfer Date. 

 

	29.7	Effects of the Transfer 

On the Transfer Date: 
  

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

  

	 	(b)	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 the Obligors and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the Obligors and the Existing Lender; 

  

	 	(c)	the Agent, the New Lender and the other Lenders 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 hereunder with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the Transfer and to that extent the Agent and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to
each other under the Finance Documents; and 

  

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

reference to, this Agreement or any of the Obligors; and 

  

	 	(c)	to whom, to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any applicable law, 

such information about the Obligors and the Finance Documents as that Lender shall consider appropriate, provided that such disclosure
shall be subject to the prior written approval by the Borrower if such potential assignee is not an affiliate of any of the Lenders.

 81 (123)

	 	(d)	Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Agent or the Mandated Lead Arrangers to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any
person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent and the Mandated Lead Arrangers that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks

	 	(a)	the Recovering Finance Party shall promptly, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Agent; 

 

	 	(b)	the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been
received by or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 32 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

  

	 	(c)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to

	31.2	Redistribution of payments 

The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by any of the Obligors, as the case may be, and distribute it between the

Party for a debt equal to the Sharing Payment which is immediately due and payable. 

  

	31.4	Reversal of redistribution 

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering
Finance Party, then: 
  

	 	(a)	each Finance Party which has received a share of the relevant Sharing Payment pursuant to Clause 31.2 (Redistribution of payments) shall, upon request of the
Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its
proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay); and 

  
 84 (123)

	 	(b)	that Recovering Finance Party’s rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the Borrower will be liable to the reimbursing Finance
Party for the amount so reimbursed. 

  

	31.5	Exceptions 

  

	 	(a)	This Clause 31 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause 31, have a valid and
enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor. 

  

	 	(b)	A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of

 85 (123)

	 	(b)	If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount was

 Appendix A 
 PROPOSED COMMERCIAL LENDERS’ GUARANTEE 
 Whereas the Norwegian Government, represented
by the Ministry of Trade and Industry c/o Eksportkreditt Norge AS (the “ECA Lender”) has entered into a loan agreement
dated                     (the “Loan Agreement”) in the amount
of                     (the “Principal Amount”)
with                     (the “BORROWER”). 
 We                     (the “Guarantor”) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee, as
for our own debt, the due and punctual repayment to the ECA Lender of      per cent of the Principal Amount or part thereof outstanding and unpaid at any time plus      per cent of all incurred and
outstanding: 
  

	i)	interest, at the rate as is agreed between the BORROWER and the ECA Lender according to the Loan Agreement, 

 

	ii)	default interest as set out in the Loan Agreement, and 

  

	iii)	all other amounts payable by the BORROWER to the ECA Lender in accordance with the Loan Agreement, if any. 

The Principal Amount and i) - iii) above collectively referred to as the Guaranteed Amounts. 
 This guarantee shall forthwith be due and payable on demand. 
 The Guarantor shall compensate the
ECA Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection herewith, including possible loss of interest income incurred by the ECA Lender’s redeployment of funds, according to Clause 13.3 (Break Costs) of the Loan Agreement.

 The Guarantor agrees that the ECA Lender is not obliged to give notice of any kind hereunder. 

The Guarantor agrees that any conflict or dispute of whatsoever nature (including but not limited to) between the ECA Lender and the BORROWER has no
impact on the Guarantor’s obligation to pay under this guarantee. 
 All payments under this Guarantee shall be made in full without any
deduction or withholding (whether in respect of set off, counterclaim, duties, present or future taxes, charges or otherwise whatsoever) unless such deduction or withholding is required by law, in which case the Guarantor will pay such additional
amount as will ensure that the ECA Lender receives the amount which it would have received but for such deduction or withholding. 
 Definitions
used in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meaning when used herein. 
 This guarantee is valid until the Guaranteed Amounts have been paid
in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing any and all claims must have been made prior to                      6 months after the last due date.

 This guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Norwegian law, and the Guarantor submits to the jurisdiction of the
Norwegian Courts, with Oslo City Court as due venue.

 SCHEDULE 9 
 MANDATORY COST FORMULA 
  

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

 

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

  

	3.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a facility office in the European Economic Area will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This
percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that facility office) of complying with the
relevant minimum reserve requirements in respect of Loans made from that facility office. 

  

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

 

			
	
E x 0.01  
	  	per cent. per annum.
	
300
	  

 Where: 
 E is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the
Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 
  

	5.	For the purposes of this Schedule: 

 Eligible Liabilities and Special Deposits have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; 

Fees Rules means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force
from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; 
 Fee Tariffs means the fee tariffs
specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and 

  
 121 (123)

 Tariff Base has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the
Fees Rules. 
  

	6.	If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of
charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the
average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. 

 

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

  

	 	(c)	the jurisdiction of its facility office; and 

  

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

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

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

  

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

 

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

  

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

  

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