(c) in the case of any Interest Period applicable to an Advance in relation to Tranche 2 which is in effect on the date falling 4 months after the Transfer Date for FSO 2, that Interest Period shall terminate on the said date, whereupon all the Advances in relation to Tranche 2 shall be consolidated and treated as a single Advance for Tranche 2;

7 DEFAULT INTEREST

7.1 Payment of default interest on overdue amounts. The Borrowers shall pay interest in accordance with the following provisions of this Clause 7 on any amount payable by the Borrowers under any Finance Document which the Agent, the Security Trustee or the other designated payee does not receive on or before the relevant date, that is:

(a) the date on which the Finance Documents provide that such amount is due for payment; or

(b) if a Finance Document provides that such amount is payable on demand, the date on which the demand is served; or

(c) if such amount has become immediately due and payable under Clause 18.4, the date on which it became immediately due and payable.

7.2 Default rate of interest. Interest shall accrue on an overdue amount from (and including) the relevant date until the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be 2 per cent. above:

(a) in the case of an overdue amount of principal, the higher of the rates set out at Clauses 7.3(a) and 7.3(b); or

(b) in the case of any other overdue amount, the rate set out at Clause 7.3(b).

7.3 Calculation of default rate of interest. The rates referred to in Clause 7.2 are:

(a) the rate applicable to the overdue principal amount immediately prior to the relevant date (but only for any unexpired part of any then current Interest Period applicable to it);

(b) the Margin and the Mandatory Cost (if any) plus, in respect of successive periods of any duration (including at call) up to 3 months which the Agent may select from time to time:

(i) LIBOR; or

(ii) if the Agent (after consultation with the Reference Banks) determines that Dollar deposits for any such period are not being made available to any Reference Bank by leading banks in the London Interbank Market in the ordinary course of business, a rate from time to time determined by the Agent by reference to the cost of funds to the Reference Banks from such other sources as the Agent (after consultation with the Reference Banks) may from time to time determine.

7.4 Notification of interest periods and default rates. The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrowers of each interest rate determined by the Agent under Clause 7.3 and of each period selected by the Agent for the purposes of paragraph (b) of that Clause; but this shall not be taken to imply that the Borrowers are liable to pay such interest only with effect from the date of the Agent’s notification.

7.5 Payment of accrued default interest. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, any interest due under this Clause shall be paid on the last day of the period by reference to which it was determined; and the payment shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Creditor Party to which the overdue amount is due.

24

7.6 Compounding of default interest. Any such interest which is not paid at the end of the period by reference to which it was determined shall thereupon be compounded.

7.7 Application to Master Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 7 does not apply to any amount payable under a Master Agreement in respect of any continuing Designated Transaction as to which section 2(e) (Default Interest; Other Amounts) of that Master Agreement shall apply.

8 REPAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT

8.1 Amount of repayment instalments.

(a) A Tranches. The Borrowers shall repay each of Tranche 1A and Tranche 2A by annuity style amortisation to a balloon of $45,000,000 by 16 semi-annual instalments together with the balloon of $45,000,000 payable together with the final instalment. The Agent shall provide the Borrowers and the Lenders with a repayment schedule for Tranche 1A and Tranche 2A before the Drawdown Date of that Tranche.

(b) B Tranches. The Borrowers shall repay each of Tranche 1B and Tranche 2B by annuity style amortisation to zero by 16 semi-annual instalments. An illustrative repayment schedule assuming an amount of $160,000,000 for Tranche 1B and Tranche 2B is shown in the Repayment Schedule. The Agent agrees that, promptly after receipt of the relevant Drawdown Notice evidencing the amount of Tranche 1B and Tranche 2B (as the case may be), it shall provide the Borrowers and the Lenders with a repayment schedule for that Tranche.

8.2 Repayment Dates. The first instalment for each Tranche shall be repaid on the First Repayment Date for that Tranche and the last instalment on the date falling 90 months after such First Repayment Date.

8.3 Final Repayment Date. On the Maturity Date for each Tranche, the Borrowers shall additionally pay to the Agent for the account of the Creditor Parties all other sums then accrued or owing under any Finance Document in relation to that Tranche.

8.4 Voluntary prepayment. Subject to the following conditions, the Borrowers may prepay, without penalty, the whole or any part of the Loan.

8.5 Conditions for voluntary prepayment. The conditions referred to in Clause 8.4 are that:

(a) a partial prepayment shall be $1,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 (or such other amount as may be agreed by the Agent);

(b) the Agent has received from the Borrowers at least 3 Business Days prior written notice specifying the amount to be prepaid and the date on which the prepayment is to be made; and

(c) the Borrowers have provided evidence satisfactory to the Agent that any consent required by any Borrower or any Security Party in connection with the prepayment has been obtained and remains in force, and that any official regulation relevant to this Agreement which affects any Borrower or any Security Party has been complied with.

8.6 Effect of notice of prepayment. A prepayment notice may not be withdrawn or amended without the consent of the Agent, given with the authorisation of the Majority Lenders, and the amount specified in the prepayment notice shall become due and payable by the Borrowers on the date for prepayment specified in the prepayment notice.

25

8.7 Notification of notice of prepayment. The Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receiving a prepayment notice, and shall provide any Lender which so requests with a copy of any document delivered by the Borrowers under Clause 8.5(c).

8.8 Mandatory prepayment on sale or Total Loss. The Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay the relevant proportion of the Loan if a FSO is sold (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes a transfer pursuant to the Maersk Purchase Option) or becomes a Total Loss:

(a) in the case of a sale, on or before the date on which the sale is completed by delivery of the FSO to the buyer; or

(b) in the case of a Total Loss, on the earlier of the date falling 90 days after the Total Loss Date and the date of receipt by the Security Trustee of the proceeds of insurance relating to such Total Loss.

In this Clause 8.8 and in Clauses 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11 the “relevant proportion” means the full amount of Tranche 1A (in the case of FSO 1) and the full amount of Tranche 2A (in the case of FSO 2) plus, in each case, an amount equal to the higher of:

(i) 50 per cent. of the aggregate of the amount of Tranche 1B and Tranche 2B outstanding as at the date of the sale or Total Loss; and

(ii) such amount as may be required so that the market value (as determined on a basis which is satisfactory to the Lenders) of the FSO which remains financed under this Agreement is not less than 143 per cent. of the amount of the Loan outstanding after such prepayment.

If the remaining FSO is sold or becomes a Total Loss, the Borrowers shall prepay the full amount of the Loan.

8.9 Mandatory prepayment on non-completion of the Conversion Works. The Borrowers shall be obliged to repay the relevant proportion of the Loan if the Conversion Works in relation to the relevant FSO have not been completed by the day falling 180 days after the Scheduled Provisional Delivery Date (as referred to in clause 9.1 in the Service Contract for that FSO).

8.10 Mandatory prepayment on termination of Service Contract. The Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay the relevant proportion of the Loan if the Service Contract in relation to an FSO is terminated (including, for the avoidance of doubt, cancellation for convenience or war) unless such termination results from Maersk exercising the Maersk Bareboat Option and the relevant TI Borrower has executed in favour of the Security Trustee an assignment of such bareboat charter in such form as the Lenders may reasonably require.

8.11 Mandatory prepayment on Maersk Bareboat Option. The Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay the relevant proportion of the Loan if Maersk exercises the Maersk Bareboat Option, on or before the date on which the bareboat charter is entered into pursuant to the said Maersk Bareboat Option, unless the relevant TI Borrower has executed in favour of the Security Trustee an assignment of such bareboat charter in such form as the Lenders may reasonably require.

8.12 Mandatory prepayment on Change of Control. If there is a Change of Control, the Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay the Loan not later than 60 days following the occurrence of the Change of Control unless the Agent has approved the Change of Control (acting with the authorisation of the Majority Lenders, which authorisation shall

26

not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall only be withheld if there is a valid and reasonable concern on the part of such Lenders as to the financial position of the person in control after the Change of Control or the identity of such person).

8.13 Amounts payable on prepayment. A prepayment shall be made together with accrued interest (and any other amount payable under Clause 20 or otherwise) in respect of the amount prepaid and, if the prepayment is not made on the last day of an Interest Period together with any sums payable under Clause 20.1(b) but without premium or penalty.

8.14 Application of partial prepayment. Each partial prepayment shall be applied pro rata against each Tranche and then pro rata against the repayment instalments (including the balloon) specified in Clause 8.1 in inverse order of maturity.

8.15 No reborrowing. No amount prepaid may be reborrowed.

8.16 Unwinding of Designated Transactions. Immediately after any partial repayment or prepayment of the Loan under this Clause 8 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall wholly or partially reverse, offset, unwind or otherwise terminate one or more of the continuing Designated Transactions so that the notional principal amount of the continuing Designated Transactions thereafter remaining corresponds to (taking into account the scheduled amortisation) the amount of the Loan as reducing from time to time thereafter pursuant to Clause 8.1 provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to wholly or partially reverse, offset, unwind or otherwise terminate any continuing Designated Transaction on any repayment or prepayment of the Loan if that Designated Transaction is out of the money for the Borrowers.

If a FSO is sold or becomes a Total Loss and the Borrowers do not wholly or partially reverse, offset, unwind or otherwise terminate one or more of any continuing Designated Transactions so that the notional principal amount of the continuing Designated Transactions thereafter remaining corresponds to (taking into account the scheduled amortisation) the amount of the Loan as reducing from time to time thereafter pursuant to Clause 8.1, then the Borrowers shall, simultaneously with the prepayment of the relevant amount of the Loan pursuant to Clause 8.8, provide security in the form of a pledged cash deposit or such other security as may be agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent (acting with the authorisation of the Lenders or, with the authorisation of the Swap Banks, if the Loan has been repaid) in an amount acceptable to the Swap Banks. Such security shall be executed in favour of the Security Trustee and shall be held for the benefit of the Swap Banks whose Designated Transactions have not been wholly or partially reversed, offset, unwound or otherwise terminated on the sale or Total Loss of the relevant FSO.

(b) that Borrower shall pay the tax deducted to the appropriate taxation authority promptly, and in any event before any fine or penalty arises;

(c) the amount due in respect of the payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that each Creditor Party receives and retains (free from any liability relating to the tax deduction) a net amount which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount which it would otherwise have received.

53

21.3 Evidence of payment of taxes. Within 1 month after making any tax deduction, the Borrower concerned shall deliver to the Agent documentary evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the tax had been paid to the appropriate taxation authority.

21.4 Tax credit. A Creditor Party which has obtained (and has derived full use and benefit, on an affiliated group basis from) a repayment or credit in respect of tax on account of which the Borrowers have made an increased payment under Clause 21.2 shall pay to the Borrowers a sum equal to the proportion of the repayment or credit which that Creditor Party allocates to the amount due from the Borrowers in respect of which the Borrowers made the increased payment Provided that:

(a) the Creditor Party shall not be obliged to allocate to this transaction any part of a tax repayment or credit which is referable to a class or number of transactions;

(e) nothing in this Clause 21.4 shall oblige any Creditor Party to disclose to the Borrowers any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or those of its ultimate parent company (or any subsidiary thereof) or any computations in respect of tax; and

(f) the Creditor Party’s tax affairs for its tax year in respect of which such credit or repayment was obtained have been finally settled.

21.5 Exclusion of tax on overall net income. In this Clause 21 “tax deduction” means any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax except tax on a Creditor Party’s overall net income.

21.6 Application to Master Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 21 does not apply in respect of sums due from a Borrower to a Swap Counterparty under or in connection with a Master Agreement as to which sums the provisions of section 2(d) (Deduction or Withholding for Tax) of that Master Agreement shall apply.

22.4 Mitigation. If circumstances arise which would result in a notification under Clause 22.1 then, without in any way limiting the rights of the Notifying Lender under Clause 22.3, the Notifying Lender shall use reasonable endeavours to transfer its obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement and the Finance Documents to another office or financial institution not affected by the circumstances but the Notifying Lender shall not be under any obligation to take any such action if, in its opinion, to do would or might:

24.4 No Security Interest. This Clause 24 gives the Creditor Parties a contractual right of set-off only, and does not create any equitable charge or other Security Interest over any credit balance of any Borrower.

25 TRANSFERS AND CHANGES IN LENDING OFFICES

25.1 Transfer by Borrowers. No Borrower may, without the consent of the Agent, given on the instructions of all the Lenders transfer any of its rights, liabilities or obligations under any Finance Document.

(a) its rights in respect of all or part of its Contribution; or

(b) its obligations in respect of all or part of its Commitment; or

(c) a combination of (a) and (b),

to be (in the case of its rights) transferred to, or (in the case of its obligations) assumed by, another bank or financial institution or a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (a “Transferee Lender”) by delivering to the Agent a completed certificate in the form set out in Schedule 4 with any modifications approved or required by the Agent (a “Transfer Certificate”) executed by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender.

However any rights and obligations of the Transferor Lender in its capacity as Agent or Security Trustee will have to be dealt with separately in accordance with the Agency and Trust Deed.

(c) send to the Transferee Lender copies of the letters or faxes sent under paragraph (b) above,

but the Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to that Transferee Lender.

25.4 Effective Date of Transfer Certificate. A Transfer Certificate becomes effective on the date, if any, specified in the Transfer Certificate as its effective date, Provided that it is signed by the Agent under Clause 25.3 on or before that date.

25.5 No transfer without Transfer Certificate.

25.6 Lender re-organisation; waiver of Transfer Certificate. However, if a Lender enters into any merger, de-merger or other reorganisation as a result of which all its rights or obligations vest in another person (the “successor”), the Agent may, if it sees fit, by notice to the successor and the Borrowers and the Security Trustee waive the need for the execution and delivery of a Transfer Certificate; and, upon service of the Agent’s notice, the successor shall become a Lender with the same Commitment and Contribution as were held by the predecessor Lender.

25.7 Effect of Transfer Certificate. A Transfer Certificate takes effect in accordance with English law as follows:

(a) to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate, all rights and interests (present, future or contingent) which the Transferor Lender has under or by virtue of the Finance Documents are assigned to the Transferee Lender absolutely, free of any defects in the Transferor Lender’s title and of any rights or equities which any Borrower or any Security Party had against the Transferor Lender;

(b) the Transferor Lender’s Commitment is discharged to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate;

(c) the Transferee Lender becomes a Lender with the Contribution previously held by the Transferor Lender and a Commitment of an amount specified in the Transfer Certificate;

(d) the Transferee Lender becomes bound by all the provisions of the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally, including those about pro-rata sharing and the exclusion of liability on the part of, and the indemnification of, the Agent and the Security Trustee and, to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes bound by those provisions (other than those relating to exclusion of liability), the Transferor Lender ceases to be bound by them;

58

(e) any part of the Loan which the Transferee Lender advances after the Transfer Certificate’s effective date ranks in point of priority and security in the same way as it would have ranked had it been advanced by the transferor, assuming that any defects in the transferor’s title and any rights or equities of any Borrower or any Security Party against the Transferor Lender had not existed;

(f) the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to all the rights under the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally, including but not limited to those relating to the Majority Lenders and those under Clause 5.7 and Clause 19, and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be entitled to them; and

(g) in respect of any breach of a warranty, undertaking, condition or other provision of a Finance Document or any misrepresentation made in or in connection with a Finance Document, the Transferee Lender shall be entitled to recover damages by reference to the loss incurred by it as a result of the breach or misrepresentation, irrespective of whether the original Lender would have incurred a loss of that kind or amount.

The rights and equities of any Borrower or any Security Party referred to above include, but are not limited to, any right of set off and any other kind of cross-claim.

25.8 Maintenance of register of Lenders. During the Security Period the Agent shall maintain a register in which it shall record the name, Commitment, Contribution and administrative details (including the lending office) from time to time of each Lender holding a Transfer Certificate and the effective date (in accordance with Clause 25.4) of the Transfer Certificate; and the Agent shall make the register available for inspection by any Lender, the Security Trustee and the Borrowers during normal banking hours, subject to receiving at least 3 Business Days’ prior notice.

25.9 Reliance on register of Lenders. The entries on that register shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive in determining the identities of the Lenders and the amounts of their Commitments and Contributions and the effective dates of Transfer Certificates and may be relied upon by the Agent and the other parties to the Finance Documents for all purposes relating to the Finance Documents.

25.10 Authorisation of Agent to sign Transfer Certificates. Each Borrower, the Security Trustee, each Arranger, each Lender and each Swap Bank irrevocably authorises the Agent to sign Transfer Certificates on its behalf.

25.11 Registration fee. In respect of any Transfer Certificate, the Agent shall be entitled to recover a registration fee of $3,000 from the Transferor Lender or (at the Agent’s option) the Transferee Lender.

25.12 Sub-participation; subrogation assignment. A Lender may sub-participate all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under or in connection with the Finance Documents without the consent of, or any notice to, any Borrower, any Security Party, the Agent or the Security Trustee; and the Lenders may assign, in any manner and terms agreed by the Majority Lenders, the Agent and the Security Trustee, all or any part of those rights to an insurer or surety who has become subrogated to them.

25.13 Disclosure of information. A Lender may disclose to a potential Transferee Lender in accordance with Clause 25.2 or (subject to the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) sub-participant any information which the Lender has received in relation to any Borrower, any Security Party or their affairs under or in connection with any Finance Document, unless the information is clearly of a confidential nature.

59

25.14 Change of lending office. A Lender may change its lending office by giving notice to the Agent and the change shall become effective on the later of:

(a) the date on which the Agent receives the notice; and

(b) the date, if any, specified in the notice as the date on which the change will come into effect.

25.15 Notification. On receiving such a notice, the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Security Trustee; and, until the Agent receives such a notice, it shall be entitled to assume that a Lender is acting through the lending office of which the Agent last had notice.

25.16 Replacement of Reference Bank. If any Reference Bank ceases to be a Lender or is unable on a continuing basis to supply quotations for the purposes of Clause 5 then, unless the Borrowers, the Agent and the Majority Lenders otherwise agree, the Agent, acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and after consulting the Borrowers, shall appoint another bank (whether or not a Lender) to be a replacement Reference Bank; and, when that appointment comes into effect, the first-mentioned Reference Bank’s appointment shall cease to be effective.

25.17 Tax indemnity, tax gross-up and increased costs on assignment, transfer and change of lending office. If:

(a) a Lender assigns or transfers any rights or obligations under the Finance Documents pursuant to Clause 25.2 or changes its lending office; and

(b) as a result of circumstances existing at the date of assignment, transfer or change occurs the Borrowers would be obliged to make a payment to the Transferree Lender or Lender acting through its new lending office under Clause 20.1 in respect of any tax, Clause 23 or Clause 24,

then the Transferree Lender or the Lender acting through its new lending office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Transferor Lender or the Lender acting through its previous lending office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

SCHEDULE 6

MANDATORY COST FORMULA

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

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

3 The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a lending office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Advances made from that lending office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that lending office.

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

		E x 0.01		per cent. per annum
		300

Where:

E         is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5 For the purposes of this Schedule:

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

(b) “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

(c) “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate);

(d) “Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Union that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Union relating to European Monetary Union; and

(e) “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

78

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

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

(a) the jurisdiction of its lending office; and

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

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

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

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

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

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

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