7.6 In order to give effect to Clauses 7.3 and 7.4, or in the event of voluntary or mandatory prepayment by the Borrowers of the whole of the Facilities, the Borrowers irrevocably authorise the Swap Agent to amend restructure, unwind, cancel, net out, terminate, liquidate, transfer or assign any of the rights and/or obligations created pursuant to the Master Agreement in respect of those Hedging Transactions, and/or to enter into any other interest rate exchange and/or hedging transaction or commitment with the Borrowers or with any other counterparty approved by the Swap Agent.

7.7 If the exercise of the Swap Agent’s rights under Clause 7.5 results in the termination of any Transaction, that Hedging Transaction shall for the purposes of the Master Agreement (including, without limitation section 6(e)(i) of the Master Agreement) be treated as a Terminated Transaction (as defined in the Master Agreement) resulting from an Event of Default by the Borrowers.

7.8 The Borrowers will indemnify the Swap Agent from time to time on demand in respect of all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered, incurred or sustained by the Swap Agent arising in any way in relation to the exercise by the Swap Agent of its rights under this Clause, or arising in any way from any other termination, cancellation, unwinding or restructuring of any transaction, together (in each case) with interest at the Default Rate (applicable to the Post-Delivery Junior Facility Indebtedness) from the date of the Swap Agent’s demand until the date on which the Swap Agent receives payment or reimbursement, before or after an relevant judgement.

8 ALTERNATIVE AND FORWARD CURRENCY OPTIONS

8.1 (a) (i) Except in the circumstances described in Clause 8.1(g) (in which case the provisions of such Clause shall apply), at the commencement of any Interest Period in relation to any Post-Delivery Advance the Borrowers, by written request to the Paying Agent given not later than 10.00 a.m. (Hamburg time) two (2) Business Days before the commencement of such Interest Period, may request that, from the time of commencement of such Interest Period, part of the Post-Delivery Facilities be converted from one Relevant Currency to another Relevant Currency as specified in such notice, such request to be subject at all times to the consent of the Paying Agent (in its absolute discretion)

(ii) Upon receipt of each such notice, the Paying Agent shall either reject the Borrowers’ request made pursuant to Clause 8.1(a)(i) above or it shall notify each of the Banks, giving each of them full details of the conversion request.

(b) Subject only to:

(i) at all times thirty percent (30%) of the Post-Delivery Facilities being denominated in Dollars;

(ii) the total Post-Delivery Facilities being denominated in not more than three Relevant Currencies, one of which must be Dollars, and

(iii) any amount in any Approved Currency outstanding under the Post-Delivery Facilities being not less than twenty percent (20%) of the total amount outstanding thereunder;

(iv) no Event of Default then having occurred and being continuing

the amount in respect of the Post-Delivery Facilities which the Borrowers have requested to be converted from one Relevant Currency to another Relevant Currency

shall be converted by the Banks in accordance with the Borrowers’ request (subject always to the consent of the Paying Agent) with effect from the commencement of the relevant Interest Period.

(c) Each conversion hereunder shall be made at a rate which is the Spot Rate of Exchange unless such conversion has already been made under a Forward F/X Contract or series of Forward F/X Contracts maturing on such date, in which case the applicable Forward Rate of Exchange shall apply.

(d) (i) Each conversion under this Clause 8.1 shall made by the Borrowers being deemed to make a notional repayment of the relevant part of the Post-Delivery Facilities which is to be converted and the Banks being deemed to make a new advance in the New Currency of such sum, after taking account of scheduled repayments due to be made in the Existing Currency under Clause 12 and any mandatory prepayment under Clause 8.3.

(ii) The proceeds of each such new advance shall be deemed to be used to purchase the amount due in the Existing Currency which is necessary so that the Borrowers may make the deemed repayment of the part of the Post-Delivery Facilities which is being converted. However, the Borrowers remain indebted to the Banks for the advance made in the New Currency, which shall continue to form part of the Post-Delivery Facilities as more particularly described in Clause 8.3(b).

(e) Each amount requested by the Borrowers to be converted in the manner described above shall be apportioned pro rata to each of the Post-Delivery Advances (or following consolidation pro rata to each of the Post-Delivery Facilities).

(f) (i) If the Paying Agent does not receive a notice in accordance with Clause 8.1(a)(i) the relevant part of the Post-Delivery Facilities shall remain denominated in the Relevant Currency in which it was denominated during the then current Interest Period in respect thereof.

(ii) If the Borrowers have requested that any Currency Tranche should remain denominated in or be converted to an Approved Currency for the next Interest Period but the requirements of Clause 8.1(b) would not then be complied with, then such Currency Tranche shall be denominated in Dollars for the next Interest Period.

(g) (i) In relation to Forward F/X Contracts which mature at the end of any Interest Period, it is agreed (and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably agree and direct) that, subject to Clause 8.1(b), conversions shall be made in respect of the

necessary parts of the Post-Delivery Facilities into each Relevant Currency so as to enable the Borrowers to meet their obligations under each such maturing Forward F/X Contract.

(ii) The Agent shall notify each of the Banks no later than 11.00 a.m. (London time) three (3) Business Days before the end of the relevant Interest Period of the conversion(s) to be made under this Clause 8.1(g).

8.2 The Borrowers’ obligations shall be to make all payments in respect of principal of all parts of the Post-Delivery Facilities and interest thereon and other payments under this Agreement in the Relevant Currency in which the Post-Delivery Facilities or part thereof is for the time being denominated.

8.3 (a) If on any Repayment Date the Paying Agent determines that:

(i) the consolidated aggregate of the Currency Equivalent in Dollars of all of the Currency Tranches, taking into account all Forward F/X Contracts then maturing, PLUS

(ii) the remaining part (if any) of the Post-Delivery Facilities in Dollars, PLUS OR (AS THE CASE MAY BE) MINUS

(iii) the net sum (if any) which the Swap Agent certifies would then be payable by the Borrowers to the Swap Agent or (as applicable) by the Swap Agent to the Borrowers if an Early Termination Date were then to occur in respect of all Forward F/X Contracts maturing after such Repayment Date

is more than 105% of the aggregate of:

(A) the Dollar Reference Amount of the Post-Delivery Facilities at that time (after taking account of any scheduled repayment then due under Clause 12); and

(B) the value of any additional security provided in accordance with this Clause.

a mandatory prepayment shall be made at the end of the current Interest Period in respect of the Post-Delivery Facilities of a sum sufficient to reduce the aggregate of the amounts detailed in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above to an amount equal to no more than 100% of the aggregate of the amounts detailed in clauses (A) and (B) above. However, before such prepayment is made, at the Borrowers’ request the Agent shall give the Borrowers the opportunity, within two (2) Business Days after being requested to do so, to provide alternative additional security acceptable to the Agent (to which the provisions of Clause 19 shall apply) so as to ensure that, after taking

into account all such additional security, the aggregate of the amounts detailed in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above to an amount equal to no more than 100% of the aggregate of the amounts detailed in clauses (A) and (B) above.

(b) It is agreed that the conversion operations contemplated by Clauses 8.1 and 8.3(a) constitute only a banking mechanism and that such operations shall not constitute or be construed as a novation or a repayment of all or any part of the Post –Delivery Facilities or the grant of new loans. The Borrowers agree that the security to be constituted by all the Security Documents shall secure both the initial amount of all parts of each of the Post-Delivery Facilities and all advances made by the Banks to effect such conversions.

Notwithstanding and without prejudice to the validity of the foregoing, the Borrowers shall at the Agent’s request sign such amendments to any of the Security Documents as the Agent may reasonably require to preserve their validity.

8.4 In case of any mandatory prepayment under Clauses 8.1 and/or 8.3 the sum to be prepaid shall be apportioned first pro rata between all Balloon Payments of the Post-Delivery Advances (or following consolidation pro rata between the Balloon Payments of the Post-Delivery Facilities) and thereafter, shall be apportioned pro rata between the Repayment Instalments due on each remaining Repayment Date for each Post-Delivery Advance (or following consolidation each Post-Delivery Facility) in inverse order of maturity.

8.5 (a) Subject to all applicable provisions of the Master Agreement and subject also to no Event of Default then having occurred, the Borrowers, for hedging purposes in relation to the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Post-Delivery Facilities and as described herebelow and as may be approved by the Swap Agent, may conclude Forward F/X Contracts with the Swap Agent:

(i) to make forward purchases of Relevant Currencies, in amounts and currencies corresponding to all or part of the Post-Delivery Facilities but which may not, in any circumstances (after having taken account of the concluding matched Forward F/X Contracts as is described in paragraph 8.5(a) (ii) below) exceed the amount of the Post-Delivery Facilities; and

(ii) to make forward purchases in the Relevant Currency or Currencies required by the Borrowers to match their obligations under existing Forward F/X Contracts.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Swap Agent, each such Forward F/X Contract shall mature no later than the date of expiry of the then current Interest Period applicable to the relevant part of the Post-Delivery Facilities.

(b) It is agreed that the sums which the Swap Agent makes available under Forward F/X Contracts which mature at the time of a conversion under Clause 8.1 shall be applied in or towards repayment of the sums due to be repaid in respect of the corresponding part of the Post-Delivery Facilities at the time of such conversion. The sums to be re-advanced by the Banks at that time under Clause 8.1 shall be applied in or towards meeting the Borrowers’ corresponding payment obligations to the Swap Agent under such Forward F/X Contracts.

The Borrowers irrevocably authorise and direct that each such application shall be made as aforesaid.

8.6 All costs and expenses, losses and currency risks arising from the exercise by the Borrowers of the multicurrency option and from entering into Forward F/X Contracts, including all losses stemming from any conversion made under Clause 8.1, shall be for the account of the Borrowers and shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be reflected in the amount of the Post-Delivery Facilities to which they relate and/or the Master Agreement Liabilities (as the case may be).

9 SUBSTITUTE BASIS

9.1 If a Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that -

9.1.1 at 11.00 a.m. (London time) on any Interest Determination Date such Bank was not being offered by banks in the London and/or Luxembourg Interbank Eurocurrency Market (in the option of such Bank) deposits in the Relevant Currency or Currencies in the required amount and for the required period; or

9.1.2 such deposits are not available by reason of circumstances affecting the London and/or Luxembourg Interbank Eurocurrency Market (in the option of such Bank); or

9.1.3 such deposits are not available to such Bank in such market; or

9.1.4 adequate and reasonable means do not or will not exist for such Bank to ascertain the Interest Rate applicable to the next succeeding Interest Period; or

do not agree on such alternative Relevant Currency then the relevant Post-Delivery Advance will be made available to the Borrowers in Dollars.

9.2 If, however, any of the events described in Clause 9.1 occurs on any other Interest Determination Date relative to any of the Facilities or any part thereof, then the duration of the relevant Interest Period shall be up to one (1) month and during such Interest Period the Interest Rate applicable to the relevant Facility or the relevant part thereof shall be the rate per annum determined by the Banks rounded upwards to the nearest whole multiple of one sixteenth per cent (1/16th%) above the cost (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) to the Banks of funding the amount of each Facility during such Interest Period.

9.3 During such Interest Period the Borrowers and the Banks shall negotiate in good faith in order to agree an Interest Rate and Interest Period satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Banks to be substituted for those which but for the occurrence of any such event as specified in this Clause would have applied or redenominate the relevant Facility or the relevant part thereof in a different currency or currencies which is freely convertible and transferable and in which deposits are available to the Banks for determining the Interest Rate. If the Borrowers and the Banks are unable to agree on such an Interest Rate and Interest Period or such different currency by the day which is two (2) Banking Days before the end of the Interest Period referred to above, the Borrowers shall repay the relevant Facility or Facilities or the relevant part thereof together with accrued interest thereon at the Interest Rate set out above together with all other amounts due under this Agreement relative to such Facility or Facilities but without any prepayment fee, on the last day of such Interest Period.

13 EVIDENCE OF DEBT

The Paying Agent and each Bank shall maintain in accordance with their usual practice accounts evidencing the amounts from time to time lent and owing hereunder and in any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and/or the Security Documents the entries made in such accounts shall be conclusive evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and the amounts of the liabilities of the Borrowers hereunder and/or thereunder.

14 PAYMENTS

14.1 All amounts payable under this Agreement and/or the Security Documents by the Borrowers, including amounts payable under this Clause 14, shall be paid in full to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Banks without set-off or counterclaim or retention and free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes or any charges or otherwise present or future. In the event that the Borrowers are required by law to make any such deduction or withholding from any payment hereunder, then the Borrowers shall forthwith pay to the Paying Agent such additional amount as will result in the immediate receipt by the Paying Agent of the full amount which would have been received hereunder had no such deduction or withholding been made, but if any Bank shall be or become entitled to any Tax credit or relief in respect of any Tax which is deducted from any payment by the Borrowers and if that Bank in its sole determination actually receives (and is entitled to retain) a benefit from such Tax credit or relief in its country of domicile, incorporation or residence, such Bank shall, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, pay to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Borrowers after such benefit is effectively received by such Bank such amounts (which shall be conclusively certified by such Bank) as shall ensure that the net amount actually retained by such Bank is equal to the amount which would have been retained if there had been no such deduction and the Borrowers shall immediately forward to the Paying Agent official receipts of the relevant taxation or other authority or other evidence acceptable to the Paying Agent of the amount deducted or withheld as aforesaid, provided that in the event that it shall be illegal for the Borrowers to pay such additional amount as is referred to in this Clause 14.1 then the Indebtedness shall be repayable by the Borrowers to the Banks on demand. Nothing in this Clause 14.1 shall interfere with the right of the Paying Agent or the Banks to arrange their respective tax affairs in whatever manner they think fit.

14.2 All payments which are to be made in Dollars by the Borrowers under this Agreement and/or the Security Documents shall be made in Dollars in immediately available and freely transferable and convertible funds not later than 10.00 a.m. New York time on the date upon which the relevant payment is due to such bank and as the Paying Agent may from time to time nominate by written notice to the Borrowers; and where payments are to be made in an Approved Currency then the payment shall be made in such Approved Currency and in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds to such account with such bank as the Paying Agent may have specified for this purpose.

14.3 The Borrowers authorise the Paying Agent and the Banks to apply any credit balance to which the Borrowers are entitled on any account of the Borrowers with the Paying Agent, or the relevant Bank (other than any account which will be opened and administered hereunder) in satisfaction of any sum due and payable from the Borrowers to the Paying Agent, or such Bank hereunder but unpaid; for this purpose, the Paying Agent or such Bank is authorised to purchase with the moneys standing to the credit of any such account such other currencies as may be necessary to effect such application. Neither the Paying Agent nor any Bank shall be obliged to exercise any right given to it by this Clause 14.3.

14.4 In the event of a failure by the Borrowers to pay any amount on the date on which such amount is due and payable pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Security Documents and irrespective of any notice by the Paying Agent or any other person to the Borrowers in respect of such failure, the Borrowers shall pay interest on such amount on demand from the date of such failure up to the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at the applicable Default Rate for such period as the Paying Agent may select at or about 11.00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following that on which the Paying Agent becomes aware of the failure and, for so long as the failure continues, at such rate as shall be recalculated on the same basis thereafter.

14.5 Any interest which shall have accrued under Clause 14.4 in respect of an unpaid sum shall be due and payable and shall be paid by the Borrowers at the end of the period by reference to which it is calculated or such other date or dates as the Paying Agent may specify by written notice to the Borrowers.

14.6 Without prejudice to the foregoing and irrespective of any notice by the Paying Agent or any other person to the Borrowers in respect of the Borrowers’ failure to make any payment when due, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Paying Agent and each Bank against any damages, losses or expenses (including losses incurred in paying overdraft interest or in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to make, fund or maintain the Commitment of each Bank or the Facilities or any part thereof) which the Paying Agent and the Banks may sustain or incur as a consequence of the failure by the

Borrowers to pay any amount when due and payable under this Agreement and/or the Security Documents and/or as a consequence of the occurrence of any Event of Default.

14.7 The Borrowers undertake to indemnify the Agent, the Paying Agent, the Security Trustee and the Banks against any loss incurred by the Agent, the Paying Agent, the Security Trustee and the Banks as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for the payment of any amount due under this Agreement and/or the Security Documents and such judgment or order being expressed in a currency other than that in which the payment was due or payable under this Agreement and/or the Security Documents and as a result of any variation having occurred in rates of exchange between the date on which the currency is converted for the purpose of such judgment or order and the date of actual payment thereof. This indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent liability of the Borrowers and shall continue in force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.

14.8 Any prepayment or repayment of principal made or deemed to be made under this Agreement shall, if made otherwise than at the end of an Interest Period relative to the amounts prepaid or repaid, be made together with accrued interest thereon and such additional amount (if any) as the Paying Agent may certify as necessary to compensate the Banks for any damages or losses, as the case may be, incurred or to be incurred by the Banks in connection with such prepayment or repayment (including but not limited to loss of profit and losses on account of funds borrowed in order to make, fund or maintain the Commitment or the Facilities or any part thereof prepaid or repaid).

14.9 If the Borrowers give a Notice of Drawdown pursuant to Clause 4 and the Banks make arrangements on the basis of such notice to acquire the Relevant Currency in the London or Luxembourg Interbank Eurocurrency Market to fund any one or more of the Facilities or any part of them and the Borrowers are not permitted or otherwise fail to borrow in accordance with such Notice of Drawdown (either on account of any condition precedent not being fulfilled or otherwise) the Borrowers shall indemnify the Banks against any damages, losses or expenses which the Banks may incur (either directly or indirectly) as a consequence of the failure by the Borrowers to borrow in accordance with the Notice of Drawdown.

31.18.1 shall, without prejudice to any of the powers, discretions and immunities conferred upon trustees by law (and to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents), have all the same powers and discretions as a natural person acting as the beneficial owner of such property and/or as are conferred upon the Security Trustee by this Agreement and/or any other Finance Document provided that the Security Trustee may only exercise such powers and discretions to the extent that the Security Trustee is authorised so to exercise the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and/or any other Finance Document;

31.18.2 shall be entitled to invest moneys forming part of the Trust Property and which, in the opinion of the Security Trustee may not be paid out promptly following receipt in the name or under the control of the Security Trustee in any of the investments for the time being authorised by law for the investment by trustees of trust moneys or in any other property or investments whether similar to the aforesaid or not or by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Security Trustee as the Security Trustee may think fit without being under any duty to diversify its investments and the Agent may at any time vary or transpose any such property or investments for or into any others of a like nature and shall not be responsible for any loss due to depreciation in value or otherwise of such property or investments (and on the basis that any investment of any part or all of the Trust Property may, at the discretion of the Security Trustee be made or retained in the names of nominees); and
