25 #93434686v13 total outstanding principal amount of Advances made by all Lenders exceeding the Commitments for all Lenders. Section 2.02. Advances and Borrowings. (a) Each Advance shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Advances made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their then Applicable Percentages. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. (b) Each Borrowing shall be in an amount of $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Subject to the conditions set forth in Article 4 and the other terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.10(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.02.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Advance to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds promptly and not later than 3:00 p.m. to the account of Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, Administrative Agent will make all funds so received available to Borrower by crediting the amounts so received, in like funds as received by Administrative Agent, to the Funding Account. (b) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.04 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender did not make available such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, then such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of any Margin Loan Document, the Commitment of such Lender or the Advances made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually suffered. (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
32 #93434686v13 paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.11 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender Person requests compensation under this Section 2.11 or Borrower must pay increased amounts or any amounts for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 2.12, then the applicable Lender will, if requested by Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Advance, or portion thereof, affected by the relevant event if such designation would avoid the requirement for or reduce the amount of such compensation, increased amounts or amounts for Indemnified Taxes; provided that such efforts need only be made on terms that, in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided further that nothing in this Section 2.11(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of Borrower or the rights of such Lender Person pursuant to Section 2.11(a) through (d) or Section 2.12. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation. (f) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.11 or that Borrower pay increased amounts or any amount for Indemnified Taxes under Section 2.12, Borrower may, upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.10(a), terminate the Commitment of such Lender upon the prepayment in full of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Total Accrued Loan Amount (including the Make Whole Amount, which for purposes of this Section 2.11(f) shall be calculated with regard to such Lender’s Commitment only) to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 2.14 shall apply to any such prepayment. Upon receipt of such prepayment, the Commitment of such Lender shall be irrevocably terminated and such Lender shall be deemed to no longer be a party to this Agreement or any Margin Loan Document, but for the avoidance of doubt provisions of any Margin Loan Document that by their express terms survive the termination of the Facility shall continue to apply with respect to such Lender. (g) All of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive termination of the Facility and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. Section 2.12. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor under any Margin Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as
33 #93434686v13 required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent 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, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the applicable Lender Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. (b) The applicable Obligor shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, Other Taxes. (c) As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, such Obligor shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. (d) The Obligors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Lender Person, within 10 days after written demand therefor accompanied by a certificate satisfying the requirements set forth below, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.12) payable or paid by such Lender Person, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender Person, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by such Lender Person (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender Person, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts payable to the applicable Lender Person under this Section 2.12 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) (i) If any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Margin Loan Document it shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of any such documentation other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.12(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below requested by
34 #93434686v13 Borrower shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Margin Loan Document, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W- 8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Margin Loan Document, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W- 8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (2) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY,
35 #93434686v13 accompanied by properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Margin Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall promptly pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without
36 #93434686v13 interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had never been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (g) Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Obligor has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so) and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Margin Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Margin Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (g). (h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the assignment of rights by, or the replacement of any Lender Person, the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Margin Loan Document. Section 2.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify Administrative Agent and Borrower that any Law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to perform its obligations to make or maintain Advances hereunder, the obligation of such Lender to make the Advances shall be terminated and all Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to such Lender shall become due and payable either on the last day of the then current Interest Period, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain the Advances. Section 2.14. Break-Funding. In the event of the payment of any principal of an Advance other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), or the failure to borrow (for a reason other than the failure of Administrative Agent or a Lender to make such Advance), prepay any Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered
37 #93434686v13 pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, upon written demand of the applicable Lender, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) attributable to such event to the extent actually incurred by the applicable Lender. A certificate of Calculation Agent setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that each Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive termination of the Facility or repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. Section 2.15. Evidence Of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. (b) Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Advance made hereunder and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. (c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such obligations in accordance with their terms. (d) No promissory note shall be required to evidence the Advances by any Lender to Borrower. Upon the request of any Lender, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by such Lender, which shall evidence the Advances to Borrower by such Lender in addition to such records. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns. Section 2.16. Payments And Computations; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day when due in Dollars to, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Administrative Agent in immediately available funds. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. All such payments shall be made to Administrative Agent at its offices as set forth on Schedule 9.02. (b) Whenever any payment hereunder would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time
38 #93434686v13 shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees, as the case may be. (c) All payments (including prepayments and any other amounts received hereunder in connection with the exercise of Administrative Agent’s rights after an Event of Default) made by Borrower to Administrative Agent under any Margin Loan Document shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order: (i) to any expenses and indemnities payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Margin Loan Document; (ii) to any accrued and unpaid interest and fees due under this Agreement; (iii) to principal payments on the outstanding Advances; and (iv) to the extent of any excess, to the payment of all other Obligations under the Margin Loan Documents. (d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or other Obligations under the Margin Loan Documents resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or such other obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments that shall be equitable so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages; provided that (A) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower and Guarantor rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower or Guarantor in the amount of such participation. (e) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
39 #93434686v13 (f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 2.16(e) and 9.04(f), then Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amount thereafter received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

54 #93434686v13 assets of any Guarantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or either Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; (n) (i) there shall occur a Change of Control with respect to Borrower or an Issuer, and such Change of Control shall continue for three Business Days or (ii) Guarantor shall cease to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the outstanding Equity Interests in Teekay GP; or (o) there shall occur a Collateral Shortfall; provided that such Collateral Shortfall will not constitute an Event of Default if (i) within the applicable Collateral Shortfall Grace Period, Borrower prepays outstanding Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.10(a) (the amount of such prepayment, the “Deficiency Amount”) and/or executes one or more Permitted Sale Transactions such that immediately after giving effect to such prepayment and/or execution the LTV Ratio is equal to or less than the Initial LTV Ratio or (ii) at all times during the applicable Collateral Shortfall Grace Period, the Deficiency Amount, if Borrower were to only prepay outstanding Borrowings (and not pledge any additional Eligible Collateral or execute one or more Permitted Sale Transactions) pursuant to clause (i) above, would be less than $2,000,000; then, and in any such event, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Lenders having aggregate Applicable Percentages equal to or in excess of 50% at such time, by written notice to Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) declare the Total Accrued Loan Amount to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Total Accrued Loan Amount (including the applicable Make Whole Amount, if any, payable to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(c)) shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and (ii) declare the Commitments to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate; provided that upon the occurrence in respect of Borrower of any event of the type described in Section 7.01(g), (x) the Total Accrued Loan Amount shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and (y) the Commitments shall automatically be terminated. Upon the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise any rights and remedies provided to Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Margin Loan Document or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC. ARTICLE 8 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT Section 8.01. Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
55 #93434686v13 were not Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, Guarantor or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for elsewhere in this agreement), provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, the other Margin Loan Documents or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower, Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to Administrative Agent by Borrower or a Lender and Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Margin Loan Documents, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender,
56 #93434686v13 Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more subagents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders (calculated without regard to the Applicable Percentage of the resigning Administrative Agent) shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank with an office in New York, New York, and which may, for the avoidance of doubt, be a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. The successor shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 8 and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
57 #93434686v13 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. ARTICLE 9 MISCELLANEOUS Section 9.01. Amendments, Etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Margin Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) as set forth in Sections 9.01(b), 9.01(c) or 9.01(d) or (y) pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower, Guarantor (as applicable) and the Required Lenders or by Borrower, Guarantor (as applicable) and Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Advance or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Advance or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.16(c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under any Margin Loan Document without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Advance or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, reduce the principal amount of any Advance of such Defaulting Lender or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Advance of such Defaulting Lender or any interest thereon, or any fees payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse
58 #93434686v13 any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. (b) Upon the occurrence of a Share Collateral Trigger Event, Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, in consultation with Borrower to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent that such consultation would not cause undue delay, propose to amend one or more of the material terms of any Margin Loan Document other than the Guarantee Agreement (subject to the proviso to Section 9.01(a)) by delivering written notice of such proposed amendments to Borrower and the Lenders. Such amendments will take effect at the applicable Amendment Effective Time; provided that following receipt of such notice, Borrower may (i) prepay in full the Total Accrued Loan Amount to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender prior to the Amendment Effective Time, in which case the proposed amendments will not take effect and (ii) if Borrower makes the payment described in clause (i), Borrower may (but shall not be required to) simultaneously terminate the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05(b) without paying any Make Whole Amount. (c) If any of the following events (“Potential Facility Amendment Events”) shall occur: (i) the occurrence of the tenth scheduled Exchange Business Day prior to the scheduled consummation of a Merger Event in relation to an Issuer, unless Calculation Agent determines that such consummation is unlikely to occur; (ii) the announcement of an event that if consummated or completed would result in a Delisting of the TGP Shares or the TNK Shares and such shares not being immediately relisted on a Designated Exchange; (iii) the payment of an Extraordinary Dividend with respect to either the TGP Shares or the TNK Shares; (iv) the occurrence of the record date in respect of a distribution, issue or dividend to existing holders of the TGP Shares or the TNK Shares of share capital or other securities of another issuer acquired or owned (directly or indirectly) by the relevant Issuer in connection with a spin-off or other similar transaction with a value greater than 35% of the value of the equity interests of the relevant Issuer immediately prior to such record date, as determined by Calculation Agent; (v) the imposition of any withholding tax on proceeds of a prospective sale of Collateral or the announcement by any Person of any transaction or event or series of transactions or events (including a Change in Law) that could reasonably be expected to result in such an imposition, as reasonably determined by the Calculation Agent; (vi) suspension from trading of the TGP Shares or the TNK Shares on the applicable Exchange for three consecutive Exchange Business Days, other than a suspension that affects all common equity securities on such Exchange; or
59 #93434686v13 (vii) the Share Collateral Value attributable to the TGP Shares shall represent less than 50% of the total Share Collateral Value immediately after giving effect to any withdrawal or release of TGP Shares from the Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.10; then, and in any such event, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, in consultation with Borrower to the extent reasonably practicable and to the extent such consultation would not cause undue delay, propose to amend one or more of the material terms of any Margin Loan Document other than the Guarantee Agreement (subject to the proviso to Section 9.01(a)) to account for such Potential Facility Amendment Event by delivering written notice of such proposed amendments to Borrower and the Lenders. Such amendments will take effect at the applicable Amendment Effective Time; provided that following receipt of such notice, Borrower may, prior to the Amendment Effective Time, (x) prepay in full the Total Accrued Loan Amount to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and (y) terminate the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05(b) without paying any Make Whole Amount (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower must take the action described in clause (y) if Borrower takes the action described in clause (x)). (d) Upon the occurrence of a Redocumentation Event, Borrower may, on or prior to the applicable Amendment Effective Time, (x) prepay in full the Total Accrued Loan Amount to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and (y) terminate the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05(b) without paying any Make Whole Amount (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower must take the action described in clause (y) if Borrower takes the action described in clause (x)). Unless Borrower so elects to prepay the Total Accrued Loan Amount and terminate the Commitments pursuant to the preceding sentence, then after the applicable Amendment Effective Time, Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, split the Facility into a separate facility with each Lender (each a “Separate Facility”) on economic terms identical to those of the Facility (subject to any necessary conforming changes), with aggregate Commitments and outstanding Advances equal to the Commitments and outstanding Advances under the Facility, and which shall be documented in separate agreements on substantially the same terms and conditions as this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documents; provided that all conditions precedent to the making of the Advances on the occasion of the first Borrowing specified in this Agreement shall be deemed to be satisfied upon Borrower’s entry into the Separate Facilities and Borrower shall not be required to deliver any certificates, certifications, opinions or other documents upon its entry into the Separate Facilities other than (i) standard corporate housekeeping opinions (with the cost of such opinions to be paid by the applicable Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, requesting such opinions) and (ii) UCC financing statements in an appropriate form for filing with the Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia and completed Federal Reserve Board Forms U-1 and G-3, to the extent necessary; provided further that Borrower shall not be required to incur any increased tax, cost or expense (other than its own out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the Separate Facilities other than increased taxes, costs or expenses that Borrower would be required to incur under this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documents. The parties will work together in good faith to agree on documentation for the Separate Facilities that takes into account changes appropriate to reflect the fact that each Separate Facility has a single Lender (including, for the avoidance of doubt, changes to the definition of Permitted Liens to reflect the fact that Borrower will pledge collateral separately to each Lender). A Lender shall be Administrative
60 #93434686v13 Agent under each Separate Facility with a single Commitment and outstanding Advances proportional to the Commitment of such Lender under the Facility, and each Separate Facility will have its own Collateral Agent and will be separately secured by a portion of the Collateral proportional to the Commitment in respect of such Separate Facility. Borrower will not be responsible for any fees, costs or other expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the establishment and maintenance of the Separate Facilities, other than fees, costs and other expenses for which Borrower would be responsible under this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documents. Section 9.02. Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communications.

(iii) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or facsimile number or electronic mail address or telephone number) set forth on Schedule 9.02 or in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Lender becomes party to this Agreement or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent. Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b). (b) (i) Notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received when sent absent receipt of a failure to deliver notice, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its email address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. (c) Any party hereto may change its address (including email address), facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. (d) Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and the Lenders from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower, except to the extent such losses, costs, expenses and liabilities arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Administrative
62 #93434686v13 Agent or any of its Related Parties. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Administrative Agent or any Lender may be recorded by such Person, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. (e) Borrower hereby agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any suit, action or proceeding brought under any Margin Loan Document may be made upon Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx (New York) LLP, presently located at 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (the “Process Agent”), and Borrower hereby confirms and agrees that the Process Agent has been duly and irrevocably appointed as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to accept such service of any and all such writs, process and summonses, and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to Borrower shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon. Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.08(d). Borrower shall at all times maintain an agent for service of process with respect to the Margin Loan Documents in New York, New York and shall notify the Administrative Agent a reasonable period of time in advance of any change in the identity or address of such agent. Section 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies. (a) No failure or delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Margin Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Margin Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Margin Loan Document or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.01, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of an Advance shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, regardless of whether Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time. (b) The Advances are made with full recourse to Borrower and constitute direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated Indebtedness of Borrower. (c) Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledge and agree that the Margin Loan Documents collectively are intended to constitute a “securities contract” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that each delivery, transfer, payment and grant of a security interest made or required to be made hereunder or contemplated hereby or made, required to be made or contemplated in connection herewith is a “transfer” and a “margin payment” or a “settlement payment” within the meaning of Section 362(b)(6) and/or (27) and Sections 546(e)
63 #93434686v13 and/or (j) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, all obligations under or in connection with the Margin Loan Documents represent obligations in respect of “termination values,” “payment amounts” or “other transfer obligations” within the meaning of Sections 362 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the Margin Loan Documents collectively constitute a “master netting agreement” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 9.04. Costs And Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver. (a) Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (whether outside counsel or the allocated costs of its internal legal department), in connection with the Facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Margin Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Margin Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated but only so long as the Lenders are ready, willing and able to make the Advances contemplated by this Agreement upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the making of such Advances) (the “Lender Expenses”), and (ii) all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel (whether outside counsel or the allocated costs of its internal legal department), in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Margin Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Advances made hereunder, including, subject to Section 9.01(d), all such expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Advances. (b) Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any Related Party of Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery or administration of this Agreement, any other Margin Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the enforcement or protection of their rights hereunder and thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any other Margin Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower or any other Related Party of Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) arise out of any dispute among Indemnitees (other than a dispute involving claims against Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, in each case in their
64 #93434686v13 respective capacities as such) that did not involve actions or omissions of Borrower, Guarantor or their respective Affiliates. Subsection (b) of this Section 9.04 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. (c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Margin Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Margin Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such charges result from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.

(e) To the extent that Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to Administrative Agent or any Related Party thereof under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.04, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party acting for Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity. (f) The agreements in this Section 9.04 shall survive the termination of the Facility and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. Section 9.05. Collateral Agent. Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby appoint Citibank, N.A. as Collateral Agent hereunder to take such actions on their behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such agent by the terms of this Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Guarantee or by any written instruction of Administrative Agent, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably related thereto to the extent permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Collateral Agent is hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and exercise the rights as a secured party on behalf of Administrative Agent and each Lender with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law. Citibank, N.A. hereby accepts and agrees to such appointment. Section 9.06. Calculation Agent.

Whenever Calculation Agent is required to act or to exercise judgment in any way, it shall do so in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner and, when reasonably practicable, in consultation with Borrower and to the extent that such consultation would not cause undue delay. Following any determination, calculation or other act by Calculation Agent, upon request by Borrower, Calculation Agent will provide to Borrower a report (in a commonly used file format for the storage and manipulation of financial data) displaying, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination, calculation or action, it being understood that Calculation Agent will not be obligated to disclose any proprietary models or other confidential or proprietary information or data used by it for such determination, calculation or action. Section 9.07. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises their right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred. Section 9.08. Governing Law; Submission To Jurisdiction. (a) The Margin Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, laws of the State of New York without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions other than Section 5 1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document shall affect any right that Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document against Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. (c) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter
66 #93434686v13 have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 9.08. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. (d) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.02(a). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. (e) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER MARGIN LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER MARGIN LOAN DOCUMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.08(e). Section 9.09. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Margin Loan Document without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.09. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and each Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to a single assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:
67 #93434686v13 (A) Borrower; provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person (other than a natural person); and (B) Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender. (ii) Assignments by a Lender shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) in no event shall there be more than two Lenders; (B) the amount of the Commitment or Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, and the amount of the Commitment or Advances of the assigning Lender remaining after each such assignment (in each case determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent), in each case shall not be less than the lesser of (1) $10,000,000 and (2) the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Advances, as applicable, unless each of Borrower and Administrative Agent otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (C) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (D) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section 9.09, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14 and 9.15). Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a promissory note in the form described in Section 2.15(d) to the assignee Lender, and the promissory note, if any, theretofore held by the assignor Lender shall be returned to Borrower in exchange for a new promissory note, payable to the assignee Lender and reflecting its retained interest (if any) hereunder. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.09 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
68 #93434686v13 participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.09. (iv) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.09 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.09, Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than Borrower of any of its Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Document (including all or a portion of the Advances); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under the Margin Loan Document shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the other parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Subject to subsection (d) of this Section 9.09, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12, and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.12(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.12(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section 9.09. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.16 as though it were a Lender. Any Lender that sells a participation to a Participant, shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amount (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of such register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments or Advances or its other obligations under any Margin Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment or Advance or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or Section
69 #93434686v13 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). (d) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 and 2.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. (e) Any Lender may at any time (i) pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender or (ii) enter into derivative transactions relating to such Lender’s Commitments or Advances, and this Section 9.09 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest or derivative transaction; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest or derivative transaction shall (x) release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee, assignee or derivative transaction counterparty for such Lender as a party hereto or (y) result in the rehypothecation of any Collateral. Section 9.10. Severability. Any provision of any Margin Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. Section 9.11. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Margin Loan Document and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent or the Lenders constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article 4, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx, shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Each of the parties represents that it has undertaken commercially reasonable steps to verify the identity of each individual person executing any such counterparts via electronic signature on behalf of such party and has and will maintain sufficient records of the same. Section 9.12. Survival Of Representations. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower in the Margin Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan
70 #93434686v13 Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Margin Loan Documents and the making of any Advances, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Advance or any other Obligation under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or unsatisfied. The provisions of Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, Section 8.01 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Advances, the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or the termination of this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. Section 9.13. Confidentiality. Subject to Section 6.14, each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent or any Lender (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform Borrower promptly of such disclosure, unless such notice is prohibited by applicable Law and except in connection with any request as part of a regulatory examination), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform Borrower promptly of such disclosure to the extent permitted by law and except in connection with a regulatory examination or an audit or examination conducted by bank accountants), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.13, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.13 or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower or its Affiliates. For the purposes of this Section 9.13, “Information” means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business hereunder or pursuant hereto, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.13 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
71 #93434686v13 Section 9.14. No Advisory Or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Margin Loan Document), Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, (ii) Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Margin Loan Document; (b)(i) each of Administrative Agent and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing herein or otherwise by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) each of Administrative Agent and each Lender has no obligation to Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Margin Loan Document; and (c) Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower and its Affiliates, and each of Administrative Agent and each Lender has no obligations to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent or the Lenders or their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. Section 9.15. Right Of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender (each, a “Set-off Party”) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Set-off Party to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations and liabilities of Borrower, irrespective of whether or not the relevant Set-off Party shall have made any demand under the Margin Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Set-off Party under this Section 9.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Set-off Party may have. Section 9.16. Judgment Currency. If a judgment, order or award is rendered by any court or tribunal for the payment of any amounts owing to Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document or for the payment of damages in respect of a judgment or order of another court or tribunal for the payment of such amount or damages, such judgment, order or award being expressed in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Dollars, Borrower agrees (a) that its obligations in respect of any such amounts owing shall be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following Administrative Agent or such Lender’s receipt, as applicable, of any sum adjudged in the Judgment Currency, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Currency, and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent or such Lender against any deficiency in terms of Dollars in the amounts actually received by Administrative Agent or such Lender
72 #93434686v13 following any such purchase (after deduction of any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, Dollars). The indemnity set forth in the preceding sentence shall (notwithstanding any judgment referred to in the preceding sentence) constitute an obligation of Borrower separate and independent from its other obligations hereunder and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Section 9.17. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), as amended (the “Act”), and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow Administrative Agent or such Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act. Borrower agrees to promptly provide Administrative Agent or such Lender with all of the information requested by such Person to the extent such Person deems such information reasonably necessary to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act. Section 9.18. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Advance under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Advance in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Advance hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Advance but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.18 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Advances or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Section 9.19. Qualified Financial Contract. The parties agree that the terms of Section 1 and Section 2 and the related defined terms (together, the “Bilateral Terms”) of the form of bilateral template entitled “Full-Length Omnibus (for use between U.S. G-SIBs and Corporate Groups)” published by ISDA on November 2, 2018 (currently available on the 2018 ISDA U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol page at xxx.xxxx.xxx and a copy of which is available upon request), the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between the parties thereto to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules, are hereby incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement and each other Margin Loan Document, and for such purposes this Agreement and each other Margin Loan Document shall each be deemed a “Covered Agreement,” each party that is a Regulated Entity shall be deemed a “Covered Entity” and each party (whether or not it is a Regulated Entity) shall be deemed a “Counterparty Entity” with respect to each other party that is a Regulated Entity. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document and the Bilateral Terms, the Bilateral Terms will govern. Terms used in this paragraph without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them under the QFC Stay Rules.

Reference is made herein to that certain Margin Loan Agreement of even date herewith by and among Pledgor, as “Borrower,” the Lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (as such may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Margin Loan Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Margin Loan Agreement. WHEREAS, the Borrower is a party to that certain Margin Loan Agreement, dated December 21, 2012 ((as amended, restated, amended and restated, modified or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “2012 Loan Agreement”), by and among the Pledgor, as borrower, Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (under and as defined therein) and the lenders party thereto from time to time; WHEREAS, as of the date hereof Pledgor is the beneficial owner of 35,958,274 common units (“TGP Shares”) of Teekay LNG Partners L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands (“TGP Issuer”), and 5,036,306 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“TNK Shares” and together with TGP Shares, the “Shares”), of Teekay Tankers Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands (“TNK Issuer” and together with TGP Issuer, the “Issuers”), in each case listed on The New York Stock Exchange; WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the obligation of each Lender to make loans to Borrower under the Margin Loan Agreement, Pledgor has caused to be executed by each Issuer and delivered to Secured Party an Issuer Acknowledgement dated as of the date hereof (each, an “Issuer Acknowledgement”); WHEREAS, the Lenders have required, as a condition to the obligation of each Lender to make loans to Borrower under the Margin Loan Agreement, that Pledgor execute and deliver this Security Agreement; and WHEREAS, Pledgor agrees to grant a security interest in, and pledge and assign as applicable, the Collateral (as defined below) to Secured Party, as herein provided; NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and agreed, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Security Interest. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Pledgor hereby pledges, collaterally assigns and grants to Secured Party, on its behalf and for the benefit of the Lenders and Administrative Agent, a continuing first priority security interest in and lien on, and a right of set-off against, the
2 Collateral to secure the payment and the performance of the Secured Obligations (as defined below). 2. Collateral. The security interest granted hereunder to Secured Party is in all of Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to, or otherwise with respect to, the following property and assets whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located (collectively, the “Collateral”): (a) (i) the Collateral Shares; (ii) all dividends, shares, securities, cash, instruments, moneys or property (a) representing a dividend, distribution or return of capital in respect of any of the Collateral Shares or other property described in this definition, (b) resulting from a split-up, revision, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar change with respect to any of the Collateral Shares or other property described in this definition, (c) otherwise received in exchange for or converted from any of the Collateral Shares or other property described in this paragraph and any subscription warrants, rights or options issued to the holders of, or otherwise in respect of, any of the Collateral Shares or other property described in this definition; and (iii) in the event of any consolidation or merger with respect to either Issuer in which such Issuer is not the surviving entity, all shares of each class of the capital stock of the successor entity formed by or resulting from such consolidation or merger that are exchanged for the applicable Collateral Shares; (b) the Collateral Account (as defined below) and any cash, securities (including the Collateral Shares), general intangibles, investment property, financial assets, and other property that may from time to time be deposited, credited, held or carried in the Collateral Account pursuant to this Agreement or the Margin Loan Agreement; all security entitlements as defined in §8-102(a)(17) of the UCC with respect to any of the foregoing and all income and profits on any of the foregoing, all dividends, interest and other payments and distributions with respect to any of the foregoing, all other rights and privileges appurtenant to any of the foregoing, including any voting rights and any redemption rights, and any substitutions for any of the foregoing and any proceeds of any of the foregoing, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising; and (c) all Proceeds (as defined below) of the Collateral described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b). As used herein, the term “Collateral Account” means, collectively, each of the accounts with the numbers specified No. 768-70164-1-5-473, No. 768-70466-1-0-473 and No. 768-70467- 1-9-473 of Pledgor established and maintained by the Custodian, including any subaccount, substitute, successor or replacement account in or to which any Collateral is now or hereafter held or credited. Any renumbering of the Collateral Account by Custodian shall not limit the rights of Secured Party hereunder, and to the extent necessary such renumbering shall be automatically incorporated into the definition of Collateral Account. “Proceeds” means all proceeds of, and all other profits, products, rents or receipts, in whatever form, arising from the collection, sale, lease, exchange, assignment, or other disposition of, or other realization upon, any Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in this Security Agreement to the contrary, the
3 Collateral shall not include any assets that have been released from the Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Margin Loan Agreement or the proceeds of any sale of such assets. The security interest granted hereunder is granted as security only and shall not subject Secured Party to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any obligation or liability of Pledgor with respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith. 3. Collateral Maintenance and Administration. (a) Upon written demand of Secured Party, accompanied by reasonable backup documentation (which, in the case of any request for reimbursement of taxes previously paid by Secured Party, will include evidence of the payment of such taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority), Pledgor shall pay to Secured Party the amount of any Taxes that Secured Party may be required to pay by reason of the security interest granted herein or to free any Collateral from any Lien thereon (other than Permitted Liens). (b) At all times prior to an Event of Default, Pledgor shall have the right to exercise all voting powers. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and written notice by Secured Party to Pledgor or of exercise of its rights under this Section 3(b), the right to vote any Collateral shall be vested exclusively in Secured Party. To this end, Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party the proxy and attorney-in-fact of Pledgor, with full power of substitution, to vote, and to act with respect to, any and all Collateral standing in the name of Pledgor or with respect to which Pledgor is entitled to vote and act; provided that such proxy may only be exercised after the occurrence of an Event of Default. The proxy and appointment as attorney-in-fact herein granted is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, and shall continue until the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full. (c) The parties hereto agree that at all times prior to the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 9 hereof following an Event of Default, Pledgor or, in the event Pledgor is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Pledgor’s regarded direct or indirect owner, shall be treated as the owner of the Collateral for all Tax purposes. 4. Secured Obligations. All Obligations (the “Secured Obligations”) are secured by this Security Agreement. 5. Pledgor’s Representations and Warranties. Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Secured Party that: (a) The security interest in the Collateral granted pursuant to this Security Agreement is a valid and binding security interest in the Collateral subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens. Pledgor has not made any still effective registrations, filings or recordations in any jurisdiction evidencing a security interest in any of the foregoing including the filing of a register of mortgages, charges and other encumbrances or filings of UCC-1 or other financing statements, other than with respect to Liens
4 granted to Collateral Agent under the Margin Loan Documents and other than Liens granted under the "Margin Loan Documents" (as defined in the 2012 Loan Agreement) to the "Collateral Agent" (as defined in the 2012 Loan Agreement), in respect of which (x) such "Collateral Agent" will file UCC-3 financing statements in District of Columbia, USA and (y) Pledgor will file Form 11 with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda, in each case (x) and (y), on or about the date hereof, to evidence release of such Liens granted under such "Margin Loan Documents". (b) Subject to the execution of the Control Agreement by the parties thereto, (i) the security interest created in favor of Secured Party in the Collateral Account and the security entitlements in respect of the Collateral Shares and other financial assets credited thereto will constitute a perfected security interest securing the Secured Obligations subject to no prior Liens or rights of others, (ii) Secured Party will have control (within the meaning of Section 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC) thereof and (iii) no action based on an adverse claim to such security entitlement or such financial asset, whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien or other theory, may be asserted against Secured Party. (c) With respect to all other Collateral that may be perfected by filing a financing statement pursuant to the New York UCC, when a UCC financing statement in the form of Exhibit A hereto is filed in the appropriate offices against Pledgor in the locations listed on Schedule 1 (naming Pledgor as the debtor and Secured Party as the secured party), Secured Party will have a valid and perfected first priority (subject to any Permitted Liens) security interest in such Collateral as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. (d) (i) None of the Collateral has been issued or transferred in violation of the securities registration, securities disclosure or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject, (ii) there are existing no options, warrants, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to the Collateral or that obligate the issuer of any Equity Interest included in the Collateral to issue additional Equity Interests, and (iii) no consent, approval, authorization, or other action by, and no giving of notice, filing with, any governmental authority or any other Person is required for the pledge by Pledgor of the Collateral pursuant to this Security Agreement or for the execution, delivery and performance of this Security Agreement by Pledgor, or for the exercise by Secured Party or the Lenders of the voting or other rights provided for in this Security Agreement or for the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Security Agreement, except as may be required in connection with such disposition by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally. 6. Pledgor’s Covenants. During the term of this Security Agreement: (a) Pledgor shall defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to Secured Party. Pledgor shall not, at any time, file or suffer to be on file, or authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any financing statement or like instrument with respect to the Collateral in which Secured Party is not named as the sole secured party. Pledgor shall
5 take such action as necessary so that the Shares constituting Collateral held in the Collateral Account, at all times, are not subject to any Transfer Restrictions, other than Existing Transfer Restrictions. (b) Pledgor shall pay all reasonable costs to defend and enforce the security interest created by this Security Agreement, collect the Secured Obligations, and defend, enforce and collect the Collateral, including but not limited to Taxes, assessments, reasonable attorney's fees, reasonable legal expenses and reasonable expenses of sales. Whether the Collateral is or is not in Secured Party’s possession, and without any obligation to do so and without waiving Pledgor’s default for failure to make any such payment, Secured Party at its option may pay any such costs and expenses and discharge encumbrances on the Collateral, and any payments of such costs and expenses and any payments to discharge such encumbrances shall be a part of the Secured Obligations and bear interest at the default rate set forth in the Margin Loan Agreement. Pledgor agrees to reimburse Secured Party on demand for any payments of such costs and expenses and any payments to discharge such encumbrances, in each case that are reasonable. (c) Pledgor shall take such other actions as Secured Party shall reasonably deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to perfect and duly record the Lien created under this Security Agreement in the Collateral, including executing, delivering, filing and/or recording, in such locations and jurisdictions as Secured Party shall reasonably specify, any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary or desirable (in the reasonable judgment of Secured Party) to create, preserve, perfect or validate the security interest granted pursuant hereto and the priority thereof or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights under this Security Agreement with respect to such security interest, it being understood that as of the Closing Date, the only actions that shall be required under this subsection (c) shall be the delivery of the Shares with respect to the Collateral Account, the execution and delivery by Pledgor of the Control Agreement and the filing of a financing statement in appropriate form in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia and the filing of this Security Agreement with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda. (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor will take, or cause to be taken, all action that may be required under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Issuers or under any of their organizational documents to ensure that the security interest granted hereunder is perfected and ranks prior to all Liens and rights of others therein other than Permitted Liens. (e) Pledgor shall: (i) promptly furnish an employee or agent that is not a public side person at Secured Party any information with respect to the Collateral reasonably requested by Secured Party and (ii) allow Secured Party or its representatives to inspect and copy, or furnish an employee or agent that is not a public side person at Secured Party or its representatives with copies of, all records relating to the Collateral (other than information or records Pledgor is prohibited from disclosing due to applicable Law or contractual restrictions not otherwise prohibited by the Margin Loan Agreement); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Pledgor shall not be required to furnish or provide Material Nonpublic Information pursuant to this Section 6(e). Notwithstanding
6 the foregoing, to the extent any information requested by Secured Party is not then available, Pledgor will furnish to Secured Party or cause to be furnished to Secured Party such information as soon as reasonably practicable after such request. (f) Without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Secured Party, Pledgor shall not (i) maintain any of Pledgor’s books and records with respect to the Collateral at any office, or maintain Pledgor’s place of business (or, if Pledgor has more than one place of business, Pledgor’s chief executive office) at any place other than at the address indicated in Section 9.02 of the Margin Loan Agreement or (ii) change Pledgor’s name, or the name under which Pledgor does business, or the form or jurisdiction of Pledgor’s organization from the name, form and jurisdiction set forth on the first page of this Security Agreement. (g) Pledgor shall not close the Collateral Account or transfer any Collateral held therein or credited thereto (other than any Collateral that has been released in accordance with Section 2.10 of the Margin Loan Agreement) without (i) obtaining the prior written consent of Secured Party and (ii) entering into such agreements as Secured Party may in its sole discretion require to ensure the continued priority and perfection of its lien on such Collateral. 7.

7 (ii) effected on the Exchange for the relevant Shares so long as neither Secured Party nor any Lender (nor any Affiliate of Secured Party or any Lender) solicited or arranged for the solicitation of orders to buy such Collateral Shares in anticipation of or in connection with such sale; (iii) made in compliance with the manner-of-sale requirements set forth in Rule 144(g) of the Securities Act; (iv) to a person that is not an Affiliate of Secured Party or any Lender and, after giving effect to such sale, transfer or other disposition, will not be an “affiliate”, as such term is used in Rule 144, of either TGP Issuer or TNK Issuer; or (v) to a person that is an “affiliate” (as used in Rule 144) of TGP Issuer or TNK Issuer prior to such sale, transfer or other disposition so long as the number of Collateral Shares, or Shares that are collateral or other security for any other transaction to which Secured Party or Lenders are parties, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to such person (in any manner at any time, in one transaction or a series of transactions) does not in the aggregate exceed 5% of the outstanding TGP Shares or TNK Shares, as applicable. “Section 13(d)” means Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. “Secured Party Person” means Secured Party or any Secured Party Group (as defined above) or any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Secured Party or any Secured Party Group. (b) Ownership Provision. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Margin Loan Documents to the contrary, in no event shall Secured Party be entitled to acquire, receive, vote or exercise any other rights of a secured party in respect of any Collateral Shares to the extent (but only to the extent) that immediately upon giving effect to such acquisition, receipt or exercise of such rights: (A) the Beneficial Ownership by any Secured Party Person or any Aggregated Person with respect to such Lender, as applicable, of TGP Shares or TNK Shares would be equal to or greater than 8.0% of the number of the total outstanding TGP Shares or TNK Shares, as applicable; or (B) any Secured Party Person or any Aggregated Person with respect to such Lender, as applicable, under any federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders or any provisions of the Organization Documents of the applicable Issuer or any agreement to which Pledgor is a party, in each case, applicable to ownership of TGP Shares or TNK Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), would own, beneficially own, constructively own, control, hold the power to vote or otherwise meet a relevant definition of ownership in excess of a number

(ii) The inability of Secured Party to acquire, receive or exercise rights with respect to Collateral Shares as provided above at any time as a result of an Ownership Limitation shall not preclude Secured Party, as the case may be, from taking such action at a later time when no such Ownership Limitation is then existing or would result under this provision with respect to Secured Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Margin Loan Documents to the contrary, Secured Party shall not become the record or beneficial owner, or otherwise have any rights as a holder, of any Collateral Shares that Secured Party is not entitled to acquire or receive, or exercise any other rights of a secured party in respect of, at any time pursuant to this Ownership Provision, until such time as Secured Party is not prohibited from acquiring, receiving or exercising such rights in respect thereof under this Ownership Provision, and any such acquisition, receipt or exercise of such rights shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that Secured Party is so prohibited. (c) Bust-up Provision. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Margin Loan Documents to the contrary, any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral Shares by Secured Party must be a Qualifying Disposition. 8. Power of Attorney. Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the name of Pledgor or in its own name, to take upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that has not been waived, cured or deemed not to occur pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Margin Loan Agreement, any and all action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that Secured Party at any time and from time to time deems necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation, selling any of the Collateral on behalf of Pledgor as agent or attorney in fact for Pledgor and applying the proceeds received therefrom in accordance with Section 9(g) below; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to obligate Secured Party to take any action hereunder nor shall Secured Party be liable to Pledgor for failure to take any action hereunder. This appointment shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, and shall continue until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as Secured
9 Party shall be entitled under Section 9 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, Secured Party shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of Pledgor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. 9. Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may: take control of proceeds, including stock received as dividends or by reason of stock splits; release the Collateral in its possession to Pledgor, temporarily or otherwise; take control of funds generated by the Collateral, such as cash dividends, interest and proceeds, and use same to reduce any part of the Secured Obligations and exercise all other rights that an owner of such Collateral may exercise; and at any time transfer any of the Collateral or evidence thereof into its own name or that of its nominee. Secured Party shall not be liable for failure to collect any account or instruments, or for any act or omission on the part of Secured Party, its officers, agents or employees, except for any act or omission arising out of their own willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud. The foregoing rights and powers of Secured Party will be in addition to, and not a limitation upon, any rights and powers of Secured Party given by law, elsewhere in this Security Agreement, the other Margin Loan Documents or otherwise. (b) In addition to and not in lieu of the rights set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 9, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party may, without notice of any kind, which Pledgor hereby expressly waives (except for any notice required under this Security Agreement or any other Margin Loan Document that may not be waived under applicable Law and only to the extent permitted by applicable Law), at any time thereafter exercise and/or enforce any of the following rights and the remedies, at Secured Party’s option: (i) Deliver or cause to be delivered from the Collateral Account to itself or to an Affiliate, TGP Shares, TNK Shares and any other Collateral; (ii) Demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, and otherwise exercise all of Pledgor’s rights with respect to any and all of the Collateral, in its own name, in the name of Pledgor or otherwise; provided that Secured Party shall have no obligation to take any of the foregoing actions; and (iii) Sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or places and at such time or times as Secured Party deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as it deems advisable, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by applicable Law and cannot be waived), and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Secured Party may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public
10 sale or at one or more private sales and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of Pledgor, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned. (c) Pledgor specifically understands and agrees that any sale by Secured Party of all or part of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement may be effected by Secured Party at times and in manners that could result in the proceeds of such sale being significantly and materially less than might have been received if such sale had occurred at different times or in different manners (including without limitation as a result of the provisions of Section 7 hereof), and Pledgor hereby releases Secured Party and its officers and representatives from and against any and all obligations and liabilities arising out of or related to the timing or manner of any such sale, to the extent any such sale is conducted in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC. For avoidance of doubt, Pledgor does not waive any requirement imposed by Law that any sale or other disposition be commercially reasonable as required by Section 9-610(b) of the UCC. If, in the opinion of Secured Party, there is any question that a public sale or distribution of any Collateral will violate any state or federal securities law, including without limitation, the Securities Act, Secured Party may offer and sell such Collateral in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and/or limit purchasers to those who are not United States persons and/or who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, and any such sale made in good faith by Secured Party shall be deemed “commercially reasonable”. Furthermore, Pledgor acknowledges that any such restricted or private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Pledgor than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and agrees such sales shall not be considered to be not commercially reasonable solely because they are so conducted on a restricted or private basis. Pledgor further acknowledges that any specific disclaimer of any warranty of title or the like by Secured Party will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of Collateral. The parties agree and acknowledge that the Collateral is traded on a recognized market. (d) If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to this Section 9 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such sale, collection or realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, Secured Party may continue to enforce its remedies under this Security Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documents to collect the deficiency. (e) Secured Party’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if it exercises reasonable care in physically safekeeping such Collateral or, in the case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third Person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third Person, and Secured Party need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care
11 for any Collateral. Secured Party shall not be obligated to preserve any rights Pledgor may have against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order, or to apply any cash proceeds of Collateral in any particular order of application. (f) If Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 9, Pledgor agrees that, upon request of Secured Party, Pledgor will, at its own expense: (i) execute and deliver, to any Person or Governmental Authority as Secured Party may choose, any and all documents and writings that, in Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, may be required by any Governmental Authority located in any city, county, state or country where Pledgor or the Issuers engage in business in order to permit the transfer of the Collateral or otherwise enforce Secured Party’s rights hereunder; and (ii) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable Law. (g) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Security Agreement, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other Cash held by Secured Party as Collateral following an Event of Default, shall be applied by Secured Party: (i) First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including Taxes with respect to the Collateral and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Secured Party, including the fees and expenses of its agents (including broker/dealers) and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by Secured Party in connection therewith; (ii) Next, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations; and (iii) Finally, to the payment to Pledgor or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining. (h) PLEDGOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (i) ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR OTHER RIGHT TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE TIME SECURED PARTY DISPOSES OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE COLLATERAL AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 9; (ii) ALL RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION, STAY, OR APPRAISAL THAT IT NOW HAS OR MAY AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE HAVE UNDER ANY LAW NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ENACTED; (iii) ANY REQUIREMENT OF NOTICE, DEMAND, OR ADVERTISEMENT FOR SALE; AND (iv) ANY RIGHT TO REQUIRE SECURED PARTY TO PROCEED AGAINST OR EXHAUST ANY SECURITY HELD FROM PLEDGOR OR TO PURSUE ANY OTHER REMEDY IN SECURED PARTY’S POWER WHATSOEVER.
12 (i) Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Security Agreement to Secured Party while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default that has not been waived, cured or deemed not to have occurred, Secured Party is hereby appointed the attorney-in- fact of Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 9 and taking any action and executing any instruments that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. (j) Secured Party shall make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Pledgor in writing (by email and facsimile in addition to any other method of notification selected by Secured Party) by 6:00 p.m. New York City time on each Business Day on which Secured Party sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of any Collateral pursuant to this Section 8 or otherwise (or, if Secured Party sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of any Collateral on any day is not a Business Day, by 10:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of such sale or other disposition) of the type and amount of such Collateral, the aggregate proceeds of such sale or other disposition, the price per share at which any Shares have been sold or disposed of (including separate detailed information for each separate trade involving Shares) and any other information reasonably requested by Pledgor to fulfill any reporting obligations of Pledgor or any of its Affiliates under any federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or regulatory orders; provided that failure by Secured Party to so notify Pledgor by such time shall not affect Secured Party’s rights or remedies under the Margin Loan Documents; provided, further that, for the avoidance of doubt, Secured Party shall remain liable for any damages of Pledgor caused by Secured Party’s noncompliance with this Section 9(j). 10. General. (a) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) Pledgor may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Margin Loan Document without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Pledgor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Section 9.09 of the Margin Loan Agreement. Nothing in this Security Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted under the Margin Loan Agreement) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Security Agreement. (b) No Waiver. No failure or delay by Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Margin Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder and under any other Margin Loan Document
13 are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Margin Loan Document or consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.03 of the Margin Loan Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Pledgor in any case shall entitle Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of an Advance shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, regardless of whether Secured Party or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time. (c) Continuing Agreement; Release of Collateral. (i) This Security Agreement shall terminate automatically and the security interest granted hereunder shall be automatically released when the Obligations (other than indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated. In addition, upon any release of Collateral pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Margin Loan Agreement, the security interest created by this Security Agreement in such Collateral shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 10(c), the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Pledgor, at Pledgor’s expense, all documents that Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. (ii) Liens created hereunder on Collateral that is subsequently released from the Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Margin Loan Agreement, shall be automatically be released with respect to such Collateral concurrently with such release from the Collateral Account. (d) Definitions. Unless the context indicates otherwise, definitions in the UCC apply to words and phrases in this Security Agreement; if UCC definitions conflict, Article 8 and/or 9 definitions apply. (e) Notice. Each notice and other communications shall be given to each party at the address of such party set forth below and in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Margin Loan Agreement: If to Pledgor: Deliver by courier to: Teekay Finance Limited 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00 Xxxxx Xxx Xxxx

No provision hereof shall be modified or limited except pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Margin Loan Agreement. The provisions of this Security Agreement shall not be modified or limited by course of conduct or usage of trade. (g) Financing Statement. Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party (or its designee) at any time and from time to time to file in any jurisdiction any financing or continuation statement and amendment thereto or any registration of charge, mortgage or otherwise, containing any information required under the UCC or the Law of any other applicable jurisdiction (in each case, without the signature of Pledgor to the extent permitted by applicable Law), necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Secured Party to perfect or evidence its security interest in and lien on the Collateral; provided that the Collateral covered by such financing statement shall be limited to the Collateral hereunder. Pledgor agrees to provide to Secured Party (or its designees) any and all information required under the UCC or the law of any other applicable jurisdiction for the effective filing of a financing statement and/or any amendment thereto or any registration of charge, mortgage or otherwise. (h) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Security Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Security Agreement, the other Margin Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent or the Lenders constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Security Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Secured Party and when Secured Party shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Security Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.
16 (i) Severability. Any provision of any Margin Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. (j) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Security Agreement constitutes a “Margin Loan Document” entered into in connection with the Margin Loan Agreement. The provisions of Section 9.08 of the Margin Loan Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to this Agreement as if such provisions were fully set forth herein. (k) Secured Party Acknowledgement. The Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that as of the date hereof the Collateral Shares are subject to the Existing Transfer Restrictions. The Secured Party agrees that any sale of Collateral Shares by or through Secured Party or its Affiliates will only be made in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or in a transaction that Secured Party reasonably believes to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (it being understood and agreed that the Secured Party or such Affiliate may in good faith rely on representations of Borrower and/or any purchaser in determining that an exemption is available).

Schedule 1 UCC Filing Locations 1. District of Columbia
Exhibit A Form of UCC Financing Statement [Attached]
Exhibit C to Margin Loan Agreement C-1 #93434686v13 EXHIBIT C FORM OF CONTROL AGREEMENT [Attached]
SECURITIES ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT This Account Control Agreement (the “Control Agreement”), is entered into as of September 29, 2020, among CITIBANK, N.A., in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement (as defined below) (“Secured Party”), TEEKAY FINANCE LIMITED (“Pledgor”) and CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS, INC. (“Custodian”). PREAMBLE: WHEREAS, Custodian has established securities accounts, numbered 768-70164-1-5-473, 768-70466-1-0-473 and 768-70467-1-9-473 in the name of Pledgor (collectively, the “Account”) pursuant to a Client Agreement dated December 19, 2012 (as amended and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Account Agreement”) between Pledgor and Custodian. WHEREAS, Pledgor, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders (the “Lenders”) have entered into a Margin Loan Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2020 (as amended and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Margin Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed, on certain terms and conditions set forth therein, to make loans to Pledgor. WHEREAS, to secure its obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement, Pledgor and Secured Party have entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement, dated September 29, 2020, between Pledgor and Secured Party (as amended and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) pursuant to which Pledgor has granted to Secured Party, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest (the “Transaction Lien”) in the Collateral, which includes all right, title and interest of Pledgor in the Account, all financial assets from time to time credited thereto and all security entitlements in respect thereof. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement. WHEREAS, Secured Party, Pledgor and Custodian are entering into this Control Agreement to perfect the Transaction Lien on the Collateral. TERMS: Section 1. The Account. (a) This Control Agreement shall constitute notification to the Custodian that all assets now or hereafter held in the Account and the Proceeds thereof have been pledged by Pledgor to Secured Party pursuant to the Security Agreement. The Custodian is hereby directed by Pledgor and Secured Party to register such pledge on its records relating to the Account and to indicate that the Account and the Collateral therein are subject to the sole and exclusive dominion and exclusive control of Secured Party, as provided herein. This notification shall also constitute notification of pledge to the bailee in possession of book entry securities or instruments, as provided in the rules and regulations of the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, the Federal National Mortgage Association or any similar agency or instrumentality.
2 (b) The Custodian confirms that it is a “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14)(ii) of the UCC) and is acting at all times in that capacity in connection with the Account and otherwise in connection with the Collateral. All parties agree that the Account is and will remain a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC) and that each item of property (including, but not limited to, each item of “investment property” or any “financial asset” (each as defined in the UCC) and each security, instrument or cash, and each security entitlement of any of the foregoing) held by Custodian in the Account will be treated as a “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC). Custodian has not agreed and will not agree with any third party to comply with entitlement orders or other directions concerning the Account or any financial asset credited thereto originated by such third party without the prior written consent of Secured Party and Pledgor. (c) The parties hereto agree that all property delivered to the Custodian pursuant to the Security Agreement will be promptly credited to the Account. (d) The parties hereto agree that all securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to the Account shall be registered in the name of the Custodian, indorsed to the Custodian or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Custodian and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Account be registered in the name of Pledgor, payable to the order of Pledgor or specially indorsed to Pledgor. (e) Custodian agrees to take such further action as Secured Party shall reasonably request as being necessary or desirable to maintain or achieve perfection or priority of Secured Party’s security interest with respect to the Account and the Collateral therein and to permit Secured Party to exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral. (f) Custodian may hold Collateral, including securities and other investment property, through its nominee or in any other form and in any securities depository or clearing corporation by indicating that the securities are subject to a security interest; provided that all Collateral shall be identified on the Custodian’s books and records as property of Pledgor and subject to Secured Party’s security interest and shall be in a form that permits transfer to Secured Party without additional authorization or consent of Pledgor. Custodian may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any notice, instruction, or other communication from Secured Party that it reasonably believes to be genuine and authorized. Section 2. Subordination of Lien. Custodian hereby waives any security interest or lien it may now have or hereafter acquire in or with respect to the Account, any financial asset credited thereto or any security entitlement in respect thereof. Neither the financial assets credited to the Account nor any security entitlements in respect thereof will be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien or any right in favor of any person other than Secured Party (except that Custodian may set off (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) all amounts due to it in respect of its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Account, if any, as set forth in the Account Agreement). Custodian and Pledgor agree that the Account Agreement is
3 hereby deemed amended to give full force and effect to the paramount rights in, to and over the Account that Pledgor has granted to Secured Party pursuant to the Security Agreement and this Control Agreement. Section 3. Control. Upon written notice from Secured Party confirming the existence of an Event of Default, Custodian agrees that it will comply with “entitlement orders” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) originated by Secured Party concerning the Account and the Collateral credited thereto, including, without limitation, any “security entitlements” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) with respect thereto, without further consent by Pledgor or any other person. Custodian will not act on any entitlement order or other instruction of Pledgor with respect to the Account or any financial asset credited thereto without the written consent of Secured Party; provided that, unless Secured Party notifies Custodian that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall retain its right to exercise any voting rights with respect to any securities held in or credited to the Account without such consent. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Account Agreement to the contrary, upon written notice from the Secured Party confirming the existence of an Event of Default, the Custodian shall, if directed in writing by Secured Party, without the consent of Pledgor or any other party, (i) comply with all entitlement orders originated by Secured Party with respect to the Account and the Collateral therein, (ii) transfer, sell or redeem any of the Collateral, (iii) transfer any or all of the Collateral to any account or accounts designated by Secured Party, (iv) register title to any Collateral in any name specified by Secured Party, including the name of Secured Party, (v) comply with any instructions from the Secured Party for disposition of any funds in the Account and (vi) otherwise deal with the Collateral as directed by Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Account Agreement or any depository, customer, collection or similar account agreement between Custodian and Pledgor, Custodian shall not, without the prior consent of Secured Party, sell, transfer, deliver or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any interest therein. Pledgor consents to the foregoing agreements by Custodian. Secured Party agrees with Pledgor that Secured Party shall not initiate any entitlement orders in respect of the Account and the Collateral that it is not entitled to initiate pursuant to the terms of the Margin Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement. Secured Party also agrees that it will consent to any entitlement order initiated by Pledgor to transfer property in the Account that has been released from the Transaction Lien pursuant to the terms of the Margin Loan Agreement to an account of Guarantor (or another Affiliate of Pledgor). The Custodian’s obligation to comply with the Secured Party’s written notices (including entitlement orders or instructions) shall not be affected by the existence of any contingent indemnity claims that the Custodian may have. Section 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Custodian. Custodian represents and warrants to and agrees with Secured Party and Pledgor as follows: (i) The Account will be maintained in the manner set forth herein until termination of this Control Agreement, and Custodian will not change the name or account number of the Account without the prior consent of Secured Party.
4 (ii) This Control Agreement has been duly authorized by and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Custodian, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms. (iii) Custodian has not entered into, and until the termination of this Control Agreement will not enter into, (x) any other agreement pursuant to which it agrees to comply with entitlement orders with respect to the Account or any financial assets credited thereto, or (y) any other agreement purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Custodian to comply with entitlement orders originated by Secured Party as set forth in Section 3 hereof. (iv) Custodian has no knowledge of any claim to or interest in the Account or any financial assets credited thereto, other than the interests therein of Secured Party and Pledgor. If any person or entity asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Account or any financial assets credited thereto, Custodian will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Secured Party and Pledgor promptly thereof. (v) Custodian will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver promptly to Secured Party copies of all statements, confirmations and other communications by Custodian relating to the Account. Section 5. Indemnification of Custodian. Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Custodian, its directors, officers, agents and employees against any and all claims, losses, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, demands, damages and costs, including without limitation, any and all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, in any way related to or arising out of or in connection with this Control Agreement or any action taken or not taken pursuant hereto, except to the extent caused by Custodian’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Control Agreement to the maximum periods permitted by any and all laws of applicable jurisdictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pledgor shall not be responsible for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, arising in connection with this Control Agreement. Section 6. Customer Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Control Agreement and any other agreement between Custodian and Pledgor, the terms of this Control Agreement will prevail; provided that this Control Agreement shall not alter or affect any mandatory arbitration provision currently in effect between Custodian and Pledgor pursuant to a separate agreement. Section 7. Termination. This Control Agreement shall continue in effect until Secured Party has notified Custodian in writing that this Control Agreement, or the Transaction Lien, is terminated (and Secured Party agrees with Pledgor to give such notice with reasonable promptness). Upon receipt of such notice, the obligations of all parties hereto shall terminate (other than the Pledgor’s indemnification obligations
5 pursuant to Section 5 above) and Secured Party shall have no further right to originate entitlement orders concerning the Account or any financial assets credited thereto. Section 8. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Control Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties hereto, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Section 9. Severability. If any provision of this Control Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Control Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Section 10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. In performing hereunder, the Custodian is acting solely on behalf of the Secured Party in its own capacity and on behalf of the Lenders and the Pledgor and no contractual or service relationship shall be deemed to be established hereby between the Custodian and any other person. Section 11. Successors. The terms of this Control Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate successors or heirs and personal representatives. This Control Agreement may be assigned by Secured Party to any successor of Secured Party under the Margin Loan Agreement; provided that written notice thereof is given by Secured Party to Custodian. Section 12. Notices.

This letter is furnished pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(vi) of the Margin Loan Agreement.
September 29, 2020 Page 2 As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter, except where a specified fact confirmation procedure is stated to have been performed (in which case we have with your consent performed the stated procedure). We have examined, among other things, the following: (a) the Margin Loan Agreement; (b) the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2020, by and between Citibank, N.A., as collateral agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Borrower (the “Security Agreement”); (c) the Account Control Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2020, by and among the Borrower, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., as custodian, and Citibank, N.A., as collateral agent (the “Securities Account Control Agreement”); and (d) the Guarantee Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2020, by the Guarantor in favor of Citibank, N.A., acting in such capacity through its office at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, as administrative agent for the Lenders, and the Lenders (the “Guarantee Agreement”). The documents described in subsections (a)-(d) above are referred to herein collectively as the “Loan Documents.” As used in this letter, the “NY UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as now in effect in the State of New York. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, as to factual matters we have, with your consent, relied upon the foregoing, and upon oral and written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Opinion Parties and others, including the representations and warranties of the Opinion Parties in the Loan Documents. We have not independently verified such factual matters. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including any endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all
September 29, 2020 Page 3 documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. We are opining as to the effect on the subject transaction only of the federal laws of the United States and the internal laws of the State of New York and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability to the opinions expressed herein, or the effect thereon, of the law of any other jurisdiction or as to any matters of municipal law or the law of any local agencies within any state. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, our opinions herein are based upon our consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to borrowers and guarantors in secured loan transactions. We express no opinion as to any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the subject transactions because of the legal or regulatory status of any parties to the Loan Documents or the legal or regulatory status of any of their affiliates. Various issues pertaining to Bermuda law and Xxxxxxxx Islands law are addressed in the opinion letters of Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxx Limited and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, respectively, in each case separately provided to you. We express no opinion with respect to those matters, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters. Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, as of the date hereof: 1. Each of the Loan Documents (other than the Guarantee Agreement) constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms. 2. The Guarantee Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms. 3. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents (other than the Guarantee Agreement) by the Borrower, the borrowing of the loan by the Borrower pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement, the granting of the liens by the Borrower pursuant to the Security
September 29, 2020 Page 4 Agreement, the execution and delivery of the Guarantee Agreement by the Guarantor and the guaranteeing of the loan by the Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement do not on the date hereof: (i) violate any federal or New York statute, rule, or regulation applicable to, respectively, the Borrower or the Guarantor (including, without limitation, Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, assuming the Borrower and the Guarantor comply with the provisions of the Loan Documents relating to the use of proceeds); or (ii) require any consents, approvals, or authorizations to be obtained by, respectively, the Borrower or the Guarantor from, or any registrations, declarations or filings to be made by, respectively, the Borrower or the Guarantor with, any governmental authority under any federal or New York statute, rule or regulation applicable to, respectively, the Borrower or the Guarantor except (a) filings and recordings required in order to perfect or otherwise protect the security interests under the Loan Documents and (b) any consents or approvals required in connection with a disposition of collateral including compliance with federal and state securities laws in connection with any sale of any portion of the collateral consisting of securities under such securities laws. 4. The Security Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Secured Party (as defined in the Security Agreement) in that portion of the collateral described in Section 2 of the Security Agreement in which the Borrower has rights and a valid security interest may be created under Article 9 of the NY UCC (the “Pledged Collateral”), which security interest secures the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement). 5. The provisions of the Securities Account Control Agreement are effective under the NY UCC to perfect the security interest in favor of the Secured Party in that portion of the Pledged Collateral consisting of security entitlements (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the NY UCC) with respect to financial assets (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the NY UCC) credited to the securities account maintained with Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., as custodian
September 29, 2020 Page 5 (the “Securities Intermediary”), and described in the Securities Account Control Agreement (the “Securities Account”), assuming (a) the Securities Account Control Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such parties (other than the Borrower), (b) the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction (determined in accordance with Section 8-110(e) of the NY UCC) and the law governing the issues specified in Article 2(1) of the Hague Convention on the Law Applicable to Certain Rights in Respect of Securities Held with an Intermediary, in each case, is the State of New York, (c) the Securities Account constitutes a “securities account” within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the NY UCC and (d) the Securities Intermediary, with respect to the Securities Account, is acting in its capacity as a “securities intermediary” as defined in Section 8- 102(a)(14) of the NY UCC. Except as expressly set forth in numbered paragraphs 4 and 5, we do not express any opinion with respect to the creation, validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any security interest or lien or the effectiveness of any sale or other conveyance or transfer of real or personal property. Our opinions are subject to: (a) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors and the judicial application of foreign laws or governmental actions affecting creditors’ rights; (b) the effects of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith, fair dealing and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (c) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions for the indemnification or exculpation of or contribution to
September 29, 2020 Page 6 a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification, exculpation or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (d) we express no opinion with respect to (i) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, service of process, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief; (ii) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law or other procedural rights; (iii) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (iv) disclaimers or limitations of duties; (v) covenants not to compete; (vi) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (vii) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations, including, without limitation, to option value determinations; (viii) grants of setoff rights; (ix) provisions to the effect that a guarantor is liable as a primary obligor, and not as a surety and provisions purporting to waive modifications of any guaranteed obligation to the extent such modification constitutes a novation; (x) provisions for the payment of attorneys’ fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; (xi) proxies, powers and trusts; (xii) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any agreement, right or property; (xiii) provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty; (xiv) provisions permitting, upon acceleration of any indebtedness, collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon; (xv) any provision of the Loan Documents that refers to, incorporates or is based upon the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York or the federal laws of the United States; and (xvi) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect. We express no opinion or confirmation as to federal securities laws, state securities laws, tax laws, antitrust or trade regulation laws, insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, antifraud laws, compliance with fiduciary duty requirements, labor, pension or employee
September 29, 2020 Page 7 benefit laws, usury laws, environmental laws, energy-related regulation, margin regulations (except as expressly set forth in numbered paragraph 3(i) of this letter), the Bank Holding Company Act and other laws and regulations applicable to banks (including the stay-and-transfer powers of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) and any provisions recognizing, or limiting rights in connection with, such laws and regulations in connection with certain receivership, insolvency, liquidation, resolution or similar proceedings, laws and regulations relating to commodities trading, futures and swaps, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules, National Futures Association rules, the rules of any stock exchange, clearing organization, designated contract market or other regulated entity for trading, processing, clearing or reporting transactions in securities, commodities, futures or swaps, or export control, foreign assets control, sanctions, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws (without limiting other laws, regulations or rules excluded by customary practice). Our opinions expressed herein with respect to the Loan Documents address only the express terms of such documents (excluding any provisions incorporating any document or agreement, or the provisions of any other document or agreement, that is not a Loan Document, by reference) and not any other document or agreement, or the provisions of such other document or agreement, incorporated therein or made a part thereof by reference. The opinions set forth in this letter are also subject to (i) the unenforceability of contractual provisions waiving or varying the rules listed in Section 9-602 of the NY UCC and (ii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of contractual provisions respecting self- help or summary remedies without notice of or opportunity for hearing or correction. We call to your attention that enforcement of a claim denominated in a foreign currency may be limited by requirements that the claim (or a judgment in respect of the claim) be converted into United States dollars, and we express no opinion as to the enforceability of: (i) any provision to the extent it requires that a claim (or a judgment in respect of such a claim) be converted into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange at a particular date, to the extent applicable law provides otherwise or (ii) any indemnity for losses associated with the exchange of the judgment currency into any other currency.
September 29, 2020 Page 8 Our opinions in numbered paragraph 4 in this letter are limited to Article 9 of the NY UCC, and our opinions in numbered paragraph 5 are limited to Articles 8 and 9 of the NY UCC. Those opinion paragraphs, among other things, do not address collateral of a type not subject to, or excluded from the coverage of, Articles 8 and 9, as the case may be, of the NY UCC. Additionally, (i) We express no opinion with respect to the priority of any security interest or lien. (ii) We express no opinion with respect to any agricultural lien or any collateral that consists of letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, goods covered by a certificate of title, claims against any government or governmental agency, consumer goods, crops growing or to be grown, timber to be cut, goods which are or are to become fixtures, as-extracted collateral or cooperative interests. (iii) We assume the descriptions of collateral contained in, or attached as schedules to, the Loan Documents and any financing statements accurately and sufficiently describe the collateral intended to be covered by the Loan Documents or such financing statements; provided that we make no such assumption as to the sufficiency of any collateral described solely by a type of collateral defined in Article 9 of the NY UCC. Additionally, we express no opinion as to whether the phrases “all personal property” or “all assets” or similarly general phrases would be sufficient to create a valid security interest in the collateral or particular item or items of collateral; however, we note that pursuant to Section 9-504 of the NY UCC the phrases “all assets” or “all personal property” can be a sufficient description of collateral for purposes of perfection by the filing of a financing statement. (iv) We have assumed that the grantor of any security interest has, or with respect to after-acquired property will have, rights in the collateral granted by it or the power to transfer rights in such collateral, and that the grantor has received value, and express no opinion as to the nature or extent of the grantor’s rights in any of the collateral
September 29, 2020 Page 9 and we note that with respect to any after-acquired property, the security interest will not attach or be perfected until the grantor acquires such rights or power. (v) We call to your attention the fact that a security interest in “proceeds” (as defined in the NY UCC) of collateral is governed and restricted by Section 9-315 of the NY UCC. (vi) Section 552 of the federal Bankruptcy Code limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the federal Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case. (vii) We express no opinion with respect to any property subject to a statute, regulation or treaty of the United States whose requirements for a security interest’s obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor with respect to the property preempt Section 9-310(a) of the NY UCC. (viii) We express no opinion with respect to any goods which are accessions to, or commingled or processed with, other goods to the extent that the security interest is limited by Section 9-335 or 9-336 of the NY UCC. (ix) We call to your attention that a security interest may not attach or become enforceable or be perfected as to contracts, licenses, permits, equity interests or other property that are not assignable under applicable law, or are subject to consent requirements or contractual or other prohibitions or restrictions on assignment, except to the extent that any such prohibitions, restrictions or consent requirements may be rendered ineffective to prevent the attachment of the security interest pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the NY UCC, as applicable, and we note that the extent of any security interest created in reliance on such UCC provisions may be limited. In addition, we call to your attention that your rights under the Loan Documents as secured parties may be subject to the provisions of the organizational and governing documents of any entity in which any equity interests (or other rights of equity holders or investors)
September 29, 2020 Page 10 are pledged and the provisions of the applicable laws under which any such entity is organized. (x) We express no opinion regarding any security interest in any copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks or other intellectual property, or any license or sublicense thereof or the proceeds of any of the foregoing except to the extent Article 9 of the NY UCC may be applicable to the foregoing and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion as to the effect of any federal laws relating to copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks or other intellectual property on the opinions expressed herein. In addition, we call to your attention that any license or sublicense of copyrights, patents, trademarks or other intellectual property may not be assignable unless such license or sublicense affirmatively permits the creation, perfection and enforcement of a security interest therein. (xi) We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document purporting to agree to the classification or type of any property for purposes of the NY UCC. (xii) We express no opinion with respect to the security interest of the Secured Party in any of the following types of property: (a) any commodity contract; (b) an ownership interest evidenced by certificates, stock or other instruments and a leasehold evidenced by a proprietary lease, or either of the foregoing, from a corporation or partnership formed for the purpose of cooperative ownership of real estate; or (c) any property credited to a securities account which property is of a type not subject to Article 9 of the NY UCC regardless of whether the securities intermediary has agreed to treat such property as a financial asset. (xiii) We express no opinion with respect to any property or assets now or hereafter credited to any Securities Account that is a securities account except to the extent that (a) a “security entitlement” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the NY UCC) has been created and (b) such asset is a “financial asset” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the NY UCC). Furthermore, we express no opinion
September 29, 2020 Page 11 with respect to the nature or extent of the Securities Intermediary’s rights in, or title to, the securities or other financial assets underlying any “security entitlement” now or hereafter credited to a securities account. We note that to the extent the Securities Intermediary maintains any financial asset in a “clearing corporation” (as defined in Section 8-102(5) of the NY UCC), pursuant to Section 8-111 of the NY UCC, the rules of such clearing corporation may affect the rights of the Securities Intermediary. (xiv) We call to your attention that the respective issuers of the Collateral Shares (as defined in the Margin Loan Agreement) are organized under the laws of one or more foreign countries, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any such foreign country on the opinions herein stated. Our opinion with respect to the Collateral Shares is limited to the NY UCC to the extent that the NY UCC may be applicable thereto and we express no opinion as to whether as a comity or otherwise a court may defer to the laws of another jurisdiction. Additionally, we call to your attention that the laws of the jurisdiction of the issuer of the securities may affect, among other things, the exercise of remedies with respect to such security and the exercise of voting or other rights with respect to such security. With your consent, except to the extent we have expressly opined as to such matters with respect to the Borrower or the Guarantor herein, we have assumed (a) that the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, (b) that the Loan Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and (c) that the status of the Loan Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities. With your consent, we have also assumed that each Opinion Party is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdication of organization and has the
September 29, 2020 Page 12 power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 Our reference:25245.[●]/US/80763332v3 September 29, 2020 Teekay Corporation Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as special counsel to Teekay Corporation (the “Guarantor”) on matters of Xxxxxxxx Islands law in connection with a Guarantee Agreement dated September 29, 2020 (the “Guarantee”) made by the Guarantor in favor of (i) Citibank N.A. as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the lenders (the “Lenders”) from time to time party to the Margin Loan Agreement dated September 29, 2020 (the “Margin Loan Agreement”), among (1) Teekay Finance Limited, a Bermuda company, as borrower (the “Borrower”), (2) the Lenders, (3) the Administrative Agent, and (4) Citibank N.A. as collateral agent, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of which, among other things, a loan facility of up to U.S.$150,000,000 has been made available to the Borrower, and (ii) the Lenders, pursuant to which the Guarantor has guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower described therein. We have also examined originals or photocopies of all such documents, including certificates of public officials and of representatives of the Guarantor, as we have deemed necessary. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the original documents of all documents submitted to us as photocopies. We have also assumed the power, authority and legal right of all parties (other than the Guarantor) to the Guarantee and the Margin Loan Agreement to enter into and perform their respective obligations thereunder and the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Guarantee and the Margin Loan Agreement by such parties. We have further assumed the validity and enforceability of the Guarantee and the Margin Loan Agreement under all applicable laws other than the law of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands. As to any questions of fact material to our opinion, we have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon the aforesaid certificates.
Page 2 US/80763332v3 This opinion is limited to the law of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands as at the date hereof, and we express no opinion as to the law of any other jurisdiction. In rendering our opinion as to the valid existence in good standing of the Guarantor, we have relied solely on a Certificate of Goodstanding issued by the Registrar of Corporations of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands on [●], 2020. Based upon the foregoing, and having regard for the legal considerations which we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that: A. The Guarantor is a corporation domesticated, validly existing and in good standing under the law of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands and possesses the capacity to xxx and be sued in its own name. B. The Guarantor has the power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Guarantee. C. The Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Guarantor, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms. D. The authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Guarantee by the Guarantor will not (i) infringe upon its organizational documents or (ii) contravene any law of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands. E. No consent, licenses, permits, approvals (including exchange control approvals), notarizations, exemptions of or authorizations by, or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands is required as a condition to the legality, validity, performance and enforceability of the Guarantee or its admissibility in evidence. F. Assuming that none of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent (the “Finance Parties”) is doing business in the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, it is not necessary under the law of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands for the purpose of commencement of legal proceedings by any of the Finance Parties in the courts of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands that any of the Finance Parties should be licensed by any governmental authority of, or otherwise registered in any public office or elsewhere in, the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands. G. Assuming that none of the parties to the Guarantee is carrying on business or conducting transactions in the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, no Xxxxxxxx Islands withholding tax is required to be deducted from any payment of principal, interest or otherwise to be made by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantee. H. The choice by the Guarantor of New York law to govern the Guarantee constitutes a valid choice of law. I. Assuming that none of the shares of the Guarantor is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands or any other sovereign, none of the Guarantor or any of its properties has an immunity from jurisdiction from any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) in the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands.
Page 3 US/80763332v3 J. None of the Finance Parties will be deemed to be resident, domiciled, carrying on business, conducting transactions or subject to taxation in the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands by reason only of the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance, enforcement of, and/or receipt of any payment due under the Guarantee, and/or the entering into of the transaction contemplated by the Guarantee, or the holding of the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee or any collateral therefor. K. To the best of our knowledge without having made any investigation of agreements (other than our examination of the Guarantee) to which the Guarantor is a party, claims against the Guarantor under the Guarantee will rank at least pari passu with the claims of all unsecured creditors of the Guarantor except those mandatorily preferred by law. L. No stamp or registration duty or similar taxes or charges are payable in respect of the Guarantee. M. The courts of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands will recognize as valid and will enforce any judgment for a sum of money obtained by the Administrative Agent against the Guarantor in the court of a foreign country that is final and conclusive and enforceable where rendered, provided that: (i) a foreign judgment is not conclusive if (1) the judgment was rendered under a system which does not provide impartial tribunals or procedures compatible with the requirements of the due process of law, (2) the foreign court did not have personal jurisdiction over the defendant, or (3) the foreign court did not have jurisdiction over the subject matter; and (ii) a foreign judgment need not be recognized if (1) the defendant in the proceedings in the foreign court did not receive notice of the proceedings in sufficient time to enable him to defend, (2) the judgment was obtained by fraud, (3) the cause of action on which the judgment is based is repugnant to the public policy of the Republic of the Xxxxxxxx Islands, (4) the judgment conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment, (5) the proceeding in the foreign court was contrary to an agreement between the parties under which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in the court, (6) in the case of jurisdiction based only on personal service, the foreign court was a seriously inconvenient forum for the trial of the action, or (7) the foreign state does not recognize or enforce the judgments of any other foreign nation. The foregoing opinion is subject to the qualifications that: (i) The enforceability of the rights and remedies of any party to the Guarantee (a) may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights from time to time in effect, and (b) is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including application by a court of competent jurisdiction of principles of good faith, fair dealing, commercial reasonableness, materiality, unconscionability and conflict with public policy or other similar principles; and (ii) Our opinion in paragraph F is given on the basis of the requirements under Xxxxxxxx Islands law which would apply to companies generally in connection with entering into a document of the type of the

(the “Citibank”) as administrative agent (the “Margin Loan Agreement”). For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined the following documents: an executed copy of the Margin Loan Agreement; an executed copy of a pledge and security agreement dated 29 September 2020 between Citibank, as collateral agent for the Lenders and the Company (the “Security Agreement”); and an executed copy of a securities account control agreement dated 29September 2020 between Citibank, in its capacity as collateral agent under the Security Agreement, the Company and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc as custodian.
xxxxxxx.xxx | 2 #93680814v2 The documents listed in items (i) through (iii) above are herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Documents" (which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto). We have also reviewed the memorandum of association and the bye-laws of the Company (together, the “Constitutional Documents”), each certified by [a Director]/ [the Secretary] of the Company on 30 September 2020, written resolutions of its directors dated 29 September 2020 and written resolutions of its shareholders dated 29 September 2020 (together, the "Resolutions"), and such other documents and made such enquiries as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth below. References to ‘searches’ in this opinion refer to searches carried out at the Registrar of Companies and/or the Supreme Court, or responses given on behalf of the Registrar of Companies and/or the Supreme Court to enquiries made by us We have assumed (a) the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and the conformity to the originals of all copies (whether or not certified) examined by us and the authenticity and completeness of the originals from which such copies were taken; (b) that where a document has been examined by us in draft form, it will be or has been executed in the form of that draft, and where a number of drafts of a document have been examined by us all changes thereto have been marked or otherwise drawn to our attention; (c) the capacity, power and authority of each of the parties to the Documents, other than the Company, to enter into and perform its respective obligations under the Documents; (d) the due execution and delivery of the Documents by each of the parties thereto, other than the Company, and the physical delivery thereof by the Company with an intention to be bound thereby; (e) the accuracy and completeness of all factual representations made in the Documents and other documents reviewed by us; (f) that the Resolutions were passed at one or more duly convened, constituted and quorate meetings or by unanimous written resolutions, remain in full force and effect and have not been rescinded or amended; (g) that the Company is entering into the Documents pursuant to its business of group finance; (h) that there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than Bermuda, which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein; (i) the validity and binding effect under the laws of the State of New York (the "Foreign Laws") of the Documents which are expressed to be governed by such Foreign Laws in accordance with their respective terms; (j) the validity and binding effect under the Foreign Laws of the submission by the Company pursuant to the Documents to the non exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York (the "Foreign Courts"); (k) that none of the parties to the Documents carries on business from premises in Bermuda at which it employs staff and pays salaries and other expenses; (l) that on the date of entering into the Documents the Company is and after entering into the Documents will be able to pay its liabilities as they become due; (m) that the records maintained by the Registrar of Companies, which were the subject of the searches referred to at paragraphs 12 and 13, were complete and accurate in all material respects at the time of such searches; and (n) that the records maintained by the Supreme Court of Bermuda, which were the subject of the searches referred to at paragraph 12 and 14, were complete and accurate in all material respects at the time of such searches. The obligations of the Company under the Documents (a) will be subject to the laws from time to time in effect relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, possessory liens, rights of set off, reorganisation, amalgamation, merger, moratorium or any other laws or legal procedures, whether of a similar nature or otherwise, generally affecting the rights of creditors as well as applicable international sanctions; (b)
xxxxxxx.xxx | 3 #93680814v2 will be subject to statutory limitation of the time within which proceedings may be brought; (c) will be subject to general principles of equity and, as such, specific performance and injunctive relief, being equitable remedies, may not be available; (d) may not be given effect to by a Bermuda court, whether or not it was applying the Foreign Laws, if and to the extent they constitute the payment of an amount which is in the nature of a penalty; and (e) may not be given effect by a Bermuda court to the extent that they are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside Bermuda and such performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any contractual submission to the jurisdiction of specific courts, a Bermuda court has inherent discretion to stay or allow proceedings in the Bermuda courts. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Documents which provides for the payment of a specified rate of interest on the amount of a judgment after the date of judgment or which purports to xxxxxx the statutory powers of the Company. We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in Bermuda. This opinion is issued solely for your benefit and use in connection with the matter described herein and is not to be relied upon by any other person, firm or entity or in respect of any other matter. On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 1. The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of Bermuda in good standing (meaning solely that it has not failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority under the Companies Xxx 0000, or to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax, which would make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of Bermuda). 2. The Company has the necessary corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Documents. The execution and delivery of the Documents by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will not violate the memorandum of association or bye laws of the Company nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in Bermuda. 3. The Company has taken all corporate action required to authorise its execution, delivery and performance of the Documents. The Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company, and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company in accordance with the terms thereof. 4. No order, consent, approval, licence, authorisation or validation of or exemption by any government or public body or authority of Bermuda or any sub division thereof is required to authorise or is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Documents. 5. There is no income or other tax of Bermuda imposed by withholding or otherwise on any payment to be made to or by the Company pursuant to the Documents.
xxxxxxx.xxx | 4 #93680814v2 6. It is not necessary or desirable to ensure the enforceability in Bermuda of the Documents that they be registered in any register kept by, or filed with, any governmental authority or regulatory body in Bermuda. However, to the extent that any of the Documents creates a charge over assets of the Company, it may be desirable to ensure the priority in Bermuda of the charge that it be registered in the Register of Charges in accordance with Section 55 of the Companies Xxx 0000. On registration, to the extent that Bermuda law governs the priority of a charge, such charge will have priority in Bermuda over any unregistered charges created after 11 July 1984, and over any subsequently registered charges, in respect of the assets which are the subject of the charge. A registration fee of $665 will be payable in respect of the registration. While there is no exhaustive definition of a charge under Bermuda law, a charge includes any interest created in property by way of security (including any mortgage, assignment, pledge, lien or hypothecation). As the Documents are governed by the Foreign Laws, the question of whether they create such an interest in property would be determined under the Foreign Laws. 7. The Documents will not be subject to ad valorem stamp duty in Bermuda and no registration, documentary, recording, transfer or other similar tax, fee or charge is payable in Bermuda in connection with the execution, delivery, filing, registration or performance of the Documents. 8. The choice of the Foreign Laws as the governing law of the Documents is a valid choice of law and would be recognised and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Bermuda, except for those laws (i) which such court considers to be procedural in nature; (ii) which are revenue or penal laws or (iii) the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of Bermuda. The submission in the Documents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Foreign Courts is valid and binding upon the Company. 9. The Company has been designated as non-resident of Bermuda for the purposes of the Exchange Control Act, 1972 and, as such, is free to acquire, hold and sell foreign currency and securities without restriction. 10. Citibank and the Lenders will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on business in Bermuda by reason only of the execution, performance and/or enforcement of the Documents by Citibank. 11. The courts of Bermuda would recognise as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the Foreign Courts against the Company based upon the Documents under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) and would give a judgment based thereon provided that (a) such courts had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment; (b) such courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of Bermuda; (c) such judgment was not obtained by fraud; (d) the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of Bermuda; (e) no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of Bermuda; and (f) there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of Bermuda.
xxxxxxx.xxx | 5 #93680814v2 12. Based solely on a search of the public records in respect of the Company maintained at the offices of the Registrar of Companies at [] on [] September 2020 (which would not reveal details of matters which have not been lodged for registration or have been lodged for registration but not actually registered at the time of our search) and a search of the Cause Book of the Supreme Court of Bermuda conducted at [] on [] September 2020 (which would not reveal details of proceedings which have been filed but not actually entered in the Cause Book at the time of our search), no details have been registered of any steps taken in Bermuda for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator to, or for the winding-up, dissolution, reconstruction or reorganisation of, the Company, though it should be noted that the public files maintained by the Registrar of Companies do not reveal whether a winding-up petition or application to the Court for the appointment of a receiver has been presented and entries in the Cause Book may not specify the nature of the relevant proceedings. 13. Based solely on a search of the Register of Charges maintained by the Registrar of Companies pursuant to Section 55 of the Companies Xxx 0000 conducted at [] on [] September 2020 (which would not reveal details of matters which have been lodged for registration but not actually registered at the time of our search), there is one charge registered on the assets of the Company as follows: Serial Number Date Registered Time Registered: Satisfied 38976 02 January 2013 12:49 p.m. No 14. Based solely upon a search of the Cause Book of the Supreme Court of Bermuda conducted at [] on [] September 2020 (which would not reveal details of proceedings which have been filed but not actually entered in the Cause Book at the time of our search), there are no judgments against the Company, nor any legal or governmental proceedings pending in Bermuda to which the Company is subject.
