| 2 |

| 2.1.2 | Each of the GIEK Facility Lenders agree to make available to the Borrower its Commitment of a term loan facility in an aggregate amount not exceeding the Total GIEK Facility Commitments. |
| 2.2 |
| 2.2.1 | The obligations of each Facility Beneficiary under the Facility Documents are several. Failure by a Facility Beneficiary to perform its obligations under the Facility Documents does not affect the obligations of any other party to the Facility Documents. No Facility Beneficiary is responsible for the obligations of any other Facility Beneficiary under the Facility Documents. |
| 2.2.2 | The rights of each Facility Beneficiary under or in connection with the Facility Documents are separate and independent rights and any debt arising under the Facility Documents to a Facility Beneficiary from a Security Party shall be a separate and independent debt. |
| 2.2.3 | A Facility Beneficiary may, except as otherwise stated in the Facility Documents, separately enforce its rights under the Facility Documents, provided that no Facility Beneficiary acting alone in its capacity as a Facility Lender shall be entitled to declare an Event of Default. |
| 2.3 |
The Borrower shall apply the Loans for the purposes referred to in the Recital.
| 2.4 |
No Facility Beneficiary is bound to monitor or verify the application of any amount borrowed under this Agreement.
| 3 |
| 3.1 |
The Facility Lenders will only be obliged to make the Advance if:
| 3.1.1 | the Facility Agent (or its duly authorised representative) has received the documents and other evidence listed in Schedule 2, Part 1 of this Agreement; |
| 3.1.2 | on the date of the Drawdown Notice and on the proposed Drawdown Date no Default is continuing or would result from the making of the Advance; |
| 3.1.3 | on the date of the Drawdown Notice and on the proposed Drawdown Date the representations made by the Borrower under clause 11 (other than that in clauses 11.2, 11.6 and 11.18) are true in all material respects; |
| 3.1.4 | the amount of the Advance does not exceed the lower of (i) one hundred and fifty million Dollars ($150,000,000) and (ii) seventy per cent. (70%) of the Vessel Total Costs; and |
| 3.1.5 | the Total GIEK Facility Commitments do not exceed eighty five per cent. (85%) of the aggregate of the Eligible Costs and the Hiload Eligible Costs. |
| 3.2 |
The Facility Lenders will only be obliged to make the Advance if:
| 3.2.1 | the proposed Drawdown Date is a Banking Day within the Availability Period; |
| 3.2.2 | there is no outstanding notice relating to the Facility from GIEK requiring the GIEK Facility Lenders to suspend the making of the Advance; and |
| 3.2.3 | the GIEK Agent (acting on the instructions of the GIEK Facility Lenders) is satisfied that the GIEK Guarantee is in full force and effect and shall apply to the Advance. |
For the avoidance of doubt, only one (1) Advance shall be permitted to be made under the terms of this Agreement and such Advance shall be in accordance with this clause 3.
| 3.3 |
No Facility Lender shall or shall be under any obligation to advance all or any part of its Commitment after the end of the Availability Period and any such undrawn Commitments shall be reduced to zero on the last day of the Availability Period.
| 3.4 |
It is acknowledged and agreed that the Drawdown Date may occur three (3) Banking Days prior to the Delivery Date. The Borrower undertakes to deliver or to cause to be delivered to the Facility Agent on, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the Drawdown Date or, as the case may be, the Delivery Date (or within any time period specified in Schedule 2, Part 2 of this Agreement) the additional documents and other evidence listed in Schedule 2, Part 2 of this Agreement.
| 3.5 |
If the Facility Lenders in their sole discretion agree to make the Advance to the Borrower before all of the documents and evidence required by clause 3.1 have been delivered to or to the order of the Facility Agent, the Borrower undertakes to deliver all outstanding documents and evidence to or to the order of the Facility Agent no later than the date specified by the Facility Agent, except to the extent expressly waived by the Facility Agent in writing.
The making of the Advance under this clause 3.5 shall not be taken as a waiver of the Facility Lenders’ right to require production of all the documents and evidence required by clause 3.1.
| 3.6 |
All documents and evidence delivered to the Facility Agent under this clause 3 shall:
| 3.6.1 | be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent; and |
| 3.6.2 | if reasonably required by the Facility Agent, be certified, notarised, legalised or attested in a manner acceptable to the Facility Agent. |
| 4 | Advance |

| 4.2 | Facility Lenders’ participation |
Subject to clauses 2 and 3, the Facility Agent shall promptly notify each Facility Lender of the receipt of the Drawdown Notice following which each Facility Lender shall advance the proportion which each Facility Lender’s Commitment bears to the Total Commitments, in each case, to the Borrower through the Facility Agent on the Drawdown Date.
| 4.3 | Notwithstanding any other provision of a Facility Document to the contrary, if any GIEK Facility Lender or Commercial Facility Lender fails to make available its participation in the Advance to the Facility Agent, no amount of that Advance shall be made available to the Borrower. |
| 5 |
| 5.1 |
The Borrower will, on each Application Date, repay the Loan in an amount equal to the Repayment Amounts relating to that Application Date, with the amount specified in column (2) of the Schedule of Repayment Amounts being payable for the account of the GIEK Facility Lenders and the amount specified in column (3) of the Schedule of Repayment Amounts being payable for the account of the Commercial Facility Lenders. The Borrower shall on the Commercial Final Maturity Date repay to the Facility Agent as agent for the Commercial Facility Lenders, the Commercial Final Payment, together with all interest and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the Facility Documents due to the Commercial Facility Lenders. The Borrower shall on the GIEK Final Maturity Date repay to the Facility Agent the GIEK Final Payment, together with all interest and other amounts payable under this Agreement, the Facility Documents and the GIEK Guarantee due to the GIEK Facility Lenders.
| 5.2 |
No amounts repaid or prepaid under this Agreement may be reborrowed.
| 5.3 |
| 5.3.1 | The Original Schedule of Repayment Amounts has been prepared on the basis of the assumptions that: |
| (a) | The first Application Date shall occur six (6) months after the Drawdown Date; |
| (b) | There will be 20 Application Dates between the date hereof and the GIEK Final Maturity Date and there will be 12 Application Dates between the date hereof and the Commercial Final Maturity Date; |
| (c) | The total amount advanced will be one hundred and fifty million Dollars ($150,000,000); and |
| (d) | The GIEK Facility and the Commercial Facility shall each have a ten (10) year repayment profile. |
| 5.3.2 | If any or all of the assumptions made in clause 5.3.1 above proves to be incorrect, the Facility Agent shall prepare a Replacement Schedule of Repayment Amounts as soon as possible, however no later than ten (10) Banking Days following the last day of the Availability Period reflecting the actual facts and circumstances contemplated by those assumptions and such Replacement Schedule of Repayment Amounts shall (in the absence of manifest error) replace the Original Schedule of Repayment Amounts and shall be the Schedule of Repayment Amounts for all purposes of this Agreement. The Facility Agent shall notify all other parties to this Agreement (other than the Hedging Providers) of such recalculation and provide to them a copy of the Replacement Schedule of Repayment Amounts. |
| 5.3.3 |
| 6 |
| 6.1 |
If it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for a Facility Lender to fund or maintain its Commitment as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund or maintain the Loan:
| (a) | that Facility Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of that event; |
| (b) | upon the Facility Agent notifying the Borrower, the Commitment of that Facility Lender (to the extent not already advanced) will be immediately cancelled; or |
| (c) | if advanced, the Borrower shall repay that Facility Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan on the last day of its current Interest Period or, if earlier, the date specified by that Facility Lender in the notice delivered to the Facility Agent and notified by the Facility Agent to the Borrower (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law) and the Loan shall be reduced by the amount of that Facility Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan. Prior to the date on which repayment is required to be made under this sub-clause (c) the affected Facility Lender shall negotiate in good faith with the Borrower to find an alternative method or lending base in order to maintain its Commitment in the Facility. |
| 6.2 |
In the event of a sale or disposal of the Vessel, or any sale of (i) the shares in the Borrower, and/or (ii) shares in the Bareboat Charterer or any interest in such shares, the Total Commitments shall be reduced to zero on the date of such sale or disposal. If any part of the Loan is outstanding the Borrower shall, on the date of the sale or disposal, prepay the Loan in full together with any other outstanding amounts in relation to the Facility Documents. Any such prepayment shall oblige the Borrower to make payment of all interest and Commitment Fee accrued on the amount so reduced up to and including the date of reduction together with any Break Costs in respect of such reduced amount if the date of such reduction is not the final day of an Interest Period. Any such reduction of the Total Commitments shall not be reversed.
| 6.3 |
In the event that the Vessel becomes a Total Loss, on the earlier to occur of (a) the date of receipt of the Total Loss Proceeds and (b) the date falling one hundred and eighty (180) days after the occurrence of the Total Loss, the Total Commitments shall be reduced to zero. Any such reductions in the Total Commitments shall not be reversed. If any part of the Loan is outstanding the Borrower shall, on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Borrower receives such Total Loss Proceeds and (ii) the one hundred and eightieth day after the date of such Total Loss occurring, prepay the Loan in full PROVIDED ALWAYS that if such date is not the final day of an Interest Period, the Borrower may instead place the relevant sum in an account specified by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Facility Lenders), charged to the Facility Security Trustee in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Majority Facility Lenders, with an irrevocable instruction to the Facility Agent to apply such sum in prepayment of the Loan on the final day of such Interest Period. Any such prepayment shall not be reborrowed and clause 8.3 shall apply to any such prepayment.
| 6.4 |
If:
| (a) | at a time when all management powers over the business and affairs of TOO are vested in a general partner: |
| (i) | Teekay ceases to own directly or indirectly a minimum of fifty per cent. (50%) of the voting rights in the General Partner; or |
| (ii) | the General Partner ceases to be the general partner of TOO; or |
| (b) | at a time when all management powers over the business and affairs of TOO become vested in a board of directors of TOO, Teekay ceases to own or does not own, directly or indirectly, a minimum of fifty per cent. (50%) of the voting rights to elect the members of the board of directors of TOO or the voting rights to elect a minimum of fifty per cent. (50%) of the board of directors of TOO, |
then unless such change of control has been remedied within thirty (30) days of such event occurring, the Total Commitments shall immediately be reduced to zero and the Borrower shall prepay the Loan in full. Any such reductions in the Total Commitments shall not be reversed.
| 6.5 |
In the event that the Charter is terminated or the Vessel has not been accepted under the Charter by 15 June 2015, then, unless a replacement charter is entered into within six (6) months, by the Bareboat Charterer and/or another Subsidiary of the Sponsor acceptable to the Facility Lenders (acting reasonably), on terms reasonably acceptable to the Facility Lenders, then the Total Commitments shall be immediately reduced to zero and the Borrower shall prepay the Loan in full.
| 6.6 |
In the event that any Transaction Document or any material provision thereof becomes unlawful, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason or any of the Facility Security Documents comprising a Security Interest ceases to constitute a valid first priority Security Interest over the asset or property to which it relates, and such unlawfulness, unenforceability, ineffectiveness or, as the case may be, lack of valid first priority Security Interest is not remedied, if remediable, to the satisfaction of the Facility Agent within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Facility Agent, the Total Commitments shall be reduced to zero and the Borrower shall prepay the Loan in full.
| 6.7 |
In the event that the Vessel is abandoned, the Total Commitments shall be reduced to zero and the Borrower shall prepay the Loan in full.
| 6.8 |
For so long as a GIEK Facility Lender is a Facility Lender, at any time the GIEK Guarantee ceases to be legal and enforceable or is cancelled by GIEK for any reason, the Borrower shall, on the date falling thirty (30) days after the date of notice thereof to the Borrower, prepay the Loan in full whereupon each Facility Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced to zero, unless prior to that time a replacement guarantee is issued by a guarantor acceptable to the GIEK Facility Lenders and which is in form and substance satisfactory to the GIEK Facility Lenders whereupon each GIEK Facility Lender’s Commitment shall remain unchanged.
| 6.9 |
In the event that an Insolvency Event occurs in relation to the Charterer then unless a replacement charter is entered into within one hundred and eighty (180) days by the Bareboat Charterer with a replacement charterer, in each case acceptable to the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Facility Lenders (acting reasonably)) and GIEK, then the Total Commitments shall be immediately reduced to zero and the Borrower shall prepay the Loan in full.
| 6.10 |
If the Commercial Final Payment has not been refinanced on terms and conditions satisfactory to the GIEK Agent (acting on the sole written instructions of GIEK) on or by the date falling two (2) months prior to the Commercial Final Maturity Date, the Borrower shall, if so requested on or by the date falling one (1) month prior to the Commercial Final Maturity Date by the Facility Agent (acting on the written instructions of GIEK through the GIEK Agent) prepay, on the Commercial Final Maturity Date the GIEK Loan outstanding and owing to the GIEK Facility Lenders and whereupon the Total Commitments shall be reduced to zero.
| 6.11 |
| 6.11.1 | The Borrower may prepay the whole or any part of the Loan (but, if in part, being in a minimum amount of five million Dollars ($5,000,000) such amount to be in integral multiples of five million Dollars ($5,000,000) or such other amount as may be agreed by the Facility Agent) provided that it gives the Facility Agent not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. |
| 6.11.2 | If any Facility Lender is a Notified Lender or if the Borrower is required to gross up its payments to a Facility Lender due to a withholding: |
| (a) | the Borrower may require that the Commitment of that Facility Lender (to the extent not already advanced) may be immediately cancelled; or |
| (b) | if advanced, the Borrower may repay that Facility Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan and the Loan shall be reduced by the amount of that Facility Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Loan. |
| 6.11.3 | If any Facility Lender is a Defaulting Facility Lender, the Borrower may require that the Commitment of that Facility Lender (to the extent not already advanced) may be immediately cancelled. |
| 6.12 |
| 6.12.1 | Any notice of prepayment given under this clause 6 shall be irrevocable and, unless a contrary indication appears in this Agreement, shall specify the date or dates upon which the relevant prepayment is to be made and the amount of that prepayment. |
| 6.12.2 | Any prepayment under this Agreement shall be made together with accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, subject to any Break Costs which shall be payable pursuant to clause 8.3, without premium or penalty. No amount prepaid shall be reborrowed. |
| 6.12.3 | If the Facility Agent receives a notice under this clause 6 it shall promptly forward a copy of that notice to the Borrower and/or the Facility Lenders, as appropriate. |
| 6.12.4 | The amount of any prepayment (other than a prepayment made in accordance with clauses 6.1, 6.11.2, 6.11.3 and/or 6.8 and/or 6.10) shall be applied towards prepayment of the Loans in inverse order of maturity of each Loan and on a pro rata basis across each Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayment fee shall apply. |
| 7 |
| 7.1 |
Subject to clause 7.2, each Interest Period shall be for a duration of six (6) months or if elected by the Borrower by written notice, three (3) months or such other duration as may be agreed by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Facility Lenders) and provided in each case that the Facility Lenders have received two (2) Banking Days prior notice of such alternative duration and that no Interest Period may overrun an Application Date.
| 7.2 |
| 7.2.1 | The initial Interest Period in respect of the Advance shall commence on the Drawdown Date for the Advance and end on the last day of that Interest Period selected in accordance with clause 7.1, but so that no Interest Period shall overrun an Application Date. |
| 7.2.2 | Any other Interest Period in respect of the Loan shall commence on the day following the last day of the previous Interest Period and shall end on the last day of its current Interest Period selected in accordance with clause 7.1 provided that if an Interest Period would otherwise overrun an Application Date, the last day of that Interest Period shall be that Application Date. |
| 7.3 |
If an Interest Period would otherwise expire after the Commercial Final Maturity Date, the GIEK Final Maturity Date or any Application Date, that Interest Period shall expire on the Commercial Final Maturity Date, the GIEK Final Maturity Date or Application Date.
| 7.4 |
If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Banking Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Banking Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Banking Day (if there is not).
| 7.5 |
During each Interest Period interest shall accrue on the Loans at the rate determined by the Facility Agent to be the aggregate of (a) the applicable Margin and (b) LIBOR.
| 7.6 |
Interest, fees and/or premia shall accrue from day to day, shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed (or, in any circumstance where market practice differs, in accordance with the prevailing market practice) and shall be paid by the Borrower to the Facility Agent for the account of the Facility Lenders on the last day of each Interest Period.
| 7.7 |
If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Facility Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date, subject to any applicable grace period, up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is one point five per cent (1.5%) higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted the Loan for successive Interest Periods, each selected by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this clause 7.7 shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Facility Agent. If unpaid, any such interest will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.
| 7.8 |
| 7.8.1 |
| (a) | If a Market Disruption Event specified in clause 7.8.2(a) occurs in relation to the Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Facility Lender’s share of the Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of: |
| (i) | the applicable Margin; and |
| (ii) | the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Facility Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Facility Lender of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select. |
| (b) | If a Market Disruption Event specified in clause 7.8.2(b) occurs in relation to the Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Notified Lender’s share of the Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of: |
| (i) | the applicable Margin; and |
| (ii) | the rate notified to the Facility Agent by that Notified Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Notified Lender of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select. |
| 7.8.2 | In this Agreement Market Disruption Event means: |
| (a) | at or about 11.00 am London time two (2) London Banking Days before the first day of the relevant Interest Period neither the Screen Rate nor the Interpolated Screen Rate is available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine LIBOR for the relevant currency and Interest Period; or |
| (b) | before close of business in London two (2) London Banking Days before the first day of the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives notifications from a Facility Lender or Facility Lenders (whose participations in the Loan exceed fifty per cent. of the Loan or more) (each a Notified Lender) that the cost to it of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR. |
| 7.9 |
| 7.9.1 | If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. |
| 7.9.2 | Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to clause 7.9.1 above shall: |
| (a) | In the case of a Market Disruption Event specified in clause 7.8.2(a), with the prior consent of all the Facility Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties; and |
| (b) | In the case of a Market Disruption Event specified in clause 7.8.2(b), with the prior consent of all the Notified Lenders and the Borrower be binding on all parties (but such alternative basis shall not be applicable to the Facility Lenders which are not Notified Lenders). |
| 7.10 |
The Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this clause 7 and each such determination shall (save in the case of manifest error) be final and conclusive.

and the result of any of the above shall be to increase the cost to a Facility Beneficiary (or to the holding company of a Facility Beneficiary) of that Facility Beneficiary making or maintaining its Commitment, or to cause a Facility Beneficiary (or to the holding company of a Facility Beneficiary) to suffer (in its opinion) a material reduction in the rate of return on its overall capital below the level which it reasonably anticipated at the date of this Agreement and which it would have been able to achieve but for its entering into this Agreement and/or performing its obligations under this Agreement, then, subject to clause 8.6, the Facility Beneficiary affected shall notify the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Facility Agent on demand for the account of that Facility Beneficiary the amount which shall compensate that Facility Beneficiary (or the relevant holding company) for such additional cost or reduced return.

No such indemnity will be given where any such loss or cost has occurred due to gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of that Facility Beneficiary and/or GIEK; however, this shall not affect the right of any other Facility Beneficiary and/or GIEK to receive such indemnity.

| 15.8.6 | refrain from exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy unless and until instructed to exercise that right, power, discretion or remedy and as to the manner of its exercise by the Facility Lenders (or, where applicable, by the Majority Facility Lenders) and unless and until the Facility Agent has received from the Facility Lenders or the GIEK Agent has received from the GIEK Facility Lenders any payment which the Facility Agent, or, as the case may be, the GIEK Agent may require on account of, or any security which the Facility Agent or as the case may be, the GIEK Agent may require for, any costs, claims, expenses (including legal and other professional fees) and liabilities which it considers it may incur or sustain in complying with those instructions; and |
| 15.8.7 | refrain from doing anything which in the Facility Agent’s opinion will or may be contrary to any relevant law, directive or regulation of any jurisdiction and the Facility Agent may do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation.

| 15.9 | The Facility Agent’s duties |
The Facility Agent (but not the Facility Security Trustee) shall:
| 15.9.1 | if requested in writing to do so by a Facility Lender, make enquiry and advise the Facility Lenders as to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of any Facility Document by any Security Party or as to the existence of an Event of Default; and |
| 15.9.2 | inform the Facility Lenders promptly of any Event of Default of which the Facility Agent has actual knowledge. |
| 15.10 | No deemed knowledge |
Neither the Facility Agent nor the GIEK Agent shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of the falsehood or incompleteness of any representation or warranty made or deemed repeated by any Security Party or actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Default unless a Facility Lender or a Security Party shall have given written notice thereof to the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent or the GIEK Agent in its capacity as GIEK Agent. Any information acquired by the Facility Agent or the GIEK Agent other than specifically in its capacity as the Facility Agent or the GIEK Agent shall not be deemed to be information acquired by the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent or the GIEK Agent in its capacity as GIEK Agent.
The Facility Agent and the GIEK Agent may disclose to any other party and/or GIEK any information it reasonably believes it has received as agent under this Agreement.

The execution by the Facility Agent and the GIEK Agent of the Facility Documents constitutes, and the exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations thereunder will constitute, private and commercial activities done and performed for private and commercial purposes (rather than public and government purposes).
| 15.12 | Indemnity |
The Facility Lenders shall, promptly on the Facility Agent’s request, reimburse the Facility Agent in their respective Proportionate Shares, for, and keep the Facility Agent fully indemnified in respect of all liabilities, damages, costs, actions, demands and expenses and claims sustained or incurred by the Facility Agent in connection with the Facility Documents, or the performance of its duties and obligations, or the exercise of its rights, powers, discretions or remedies under or pursuant to any Facility Document, to the extent not paid by the Security Parties and not arising solely from the Facility Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
The GIEK Facility Lenders shall, promptly on the GIEK Agent’s request, reimburse the GIEK Agent in their respective GIEK Proportionate Shares, for, and keep the GIEK Agent fully indemnified in respect of all liabilities, damages, costs and claims sustained or incurred by the GIEK Agent in connection with the GIEK Guarantee, or the performance of its duties and obligations, or the exercise of its rights, powers, discretions or remedies under or pursuant to any Facility Document or the GIEK Guarantee, to the extent not paid by the Security Parties and not arising solely from the GIEK Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
This clause 15.12 may not be amended without the consent of the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the GIEK Agent.
| 15.13 | Employment of agents |
In performing its duties and exercising its rights, powers, discretions and remedies under or pursuant to the Facility Documents, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to employ and pay agents to do anything which the Facility Agent is empowered to do under or pursuant to the Facility Documents (including the receipt of money and documents and the payment of money) and to act or refrain from taking action in reliance on the opinion of, or advice or information obtained from, any lawyer, banker, broker, accountant, valuer or any other person believed by the Facility Agent in good faith to be competent to give such opinion, advice or information and whether or not such opinion, advice or information contains a limit on liability by reference to monetary cap or otherwise if the Facility Agent uses reasonable care in the selection of such agent, it shall have no responsibility for supervising such agent or be responsible for any act or omission thereof.
Without prejudice to the generality of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Facility Security Document, the entry into possession of the Secured Property shall not render the Facility Security Trustee or any Receiver liable to account as mortgagee in possession thereunder (or its equivalent in any other applicable jurisdiction) or take any action which would expose it to any liability in respect of Environmental Claims in respect of which it has not been indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction or to be liable for any loss on realisation or for any default or omission on realisation or for any default or omission for which a mortgagee in possession might be liable unless such loss, default or omission is caused by its own gross negligence or wilful default.
The Facility Security Trustee shall not be bound to take any steps to ascertain whether any event, condition or act, the happening of which would cause a right or remedy to become exercisable by the Facility Security Trustee or any agent under this Agreement or the other Facility Documents has happened or to monitor or supervise the observance and performance by the Security Parties, any agent or any of the other parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder and, until it shall have actual knowledge or express notice to the contrary, the Facility Security Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no such event, condition or act has happened and that the Security Parties, the agents and the other parties thereto are observing and performing all their respective obligations thereunder.
| 15.14 | Distribution of payments |
The Facility Agent but not the Facility Security Trustee who shall be entitled to pay any amounts due to the Facility Lenders to the Facility Agent for onward distribution to such Facility Lenders shall pay promptly to the order of each Facility Lender that Facility Lender’s Proportionate Share of every sum of money received by the Facility Agent pursuant to the Facility Documents (with the exception of any amounts payable pursuant to clause 9 and/or any Fee Letter and any amounts which, by the terms of the Facility Documents, are paid to the Facility Agent for the account of the Facility Agent alone or specifically for the account of one or more Facility Lenders) and until so paid such amount shall be held by the Facility Agent to the order of that Facility Lender.
Upon receipt of any amount from GIEK by the GIEK Agent, the GIEK Agent shall promptly pay to the order of each GIEK Facility Lender that GIEK Facility Lender’s GIEK Proportionate Share of such amount and until so paid such amount shall be held by the GIEK Agent on trust absolutely for that GIEK Facility Lender.
| 15.15 | Reimbursement |
Neither the Facility Agent nor the GIEK Agent shall have any liability to pay any sum to a Facility Lender, Facility Beneficiary or, as the case may be, GIEK Facility Lender until it has itself received payment of that sum. If, however, the Facility Agent does pay any sum to a Facility Lender on account of any amount prospectively due to that Facility Lender, a Facility Beneficiary or the Facility Agent on behalf of the Facility Lenders, as applicable pursuant to clause 15.14 before it has itself received payment of that amount, and the Facility Agent does not in fact receive payment within five (5) Banking Days after the date on which that payment was required to be made by the terms of the Facility Documents, that Facility Lender or Facility Beneficiary will, on demand by the Facility Agent, refund to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the amount received by it, together with an amount sufficient to reimburse the Facility Agent for any amount which the Facility Agent may certify that it has been required to pay by way of interest on money borrowed to fund the amount in question during the period beginning on the date on which that amount was required to be paid by the terms of the Facility Documents and ending on the date on which the Facility Agent receives reimbursement.
| 15.16 | Redistribution of payments |
Unless otherwise agreed between the Facility Lenders and the Facility Agent, if at any time a Facility Lender receives or recovers by way of set-off, the exercise of any lien or otherwise from any Security Party, an amount greater than that Facility Lender’s Proportionate Share of any sum due from that Security Party to the Facility Lenders under the Facility Documents (the amount of the excess being referred to in this clause 15.16 and in clause 15.17 as the Excess Amount) then:
| 15.16.1 | that Facility Lender shall within three (3) Banking Days notify the Facility Agent (which shall promptly notify each other Facility Lender); |
| 15.16.2 | that Facility Lender shall pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the Excess Amount within ten (10) days of its receipt or recovery of the Excess Amount; and |
| 15.16.3 | the Facility Agent shall treat that payment as if it were a payment by the Security Party in question on account of the sum due from that Security Party to the Facility Lenders and shall account to the Facility Lenders in respect of the Excess Amount in accordance with the provisions of this clause 15.16. |
However, if a Facility Lender has commenced any legal proceedings to recover sums owing to it under the Facility Documents and, as a result of, or in connection with, those proceedings has received an Excess Amount, the Facility Agent shall not distribute any of that Excess Amount to any other Facility Lender which had been notified of the proceedings and had the legal right to, but did not, join those proceedings or commence and diligently prosecute separate proceedings to enforce its rights in the same or another court.
| 15.17 | Rescission of Excess Amount |
If all or any part of any Excess Amount is rescinded or must otherwise be restored to any Security Party or to any other third party, the Facility Lenders which have received any part of that Excess Amount by way of distribution from the Facility Agent pursuant to clause 15.16 shall repay to the Facility Agent for the account of the Facility Lender which originally received or recovered the Excess Amount, the amount which shall be necessary to ensure that the Facility Lenders share rateably in accordance with their Proportionate Shares in the amount of the receipt or payment retained, together with interest on that amount at a rate equivalent to that (if any) paid by the Facility Lender receiving or recovering the Excess Amount to the person to whom that Facility Lender is liable to make payment in respect of such amount, and clause 15.16.3 shall apply only to the retained amount.

Where the Facility Agent is authorised or directed to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Facility Lenders, GIEK or of the Majority Facility Lenders each of the Facility Lenders and GIEK (if applicable) shall provide the Facility Agent with instructions within seven (7) Banking Days of the Facility Agent’s request (which request may be made orally or in writing). If a Facility Lender and GIEK (if applicable) does not provide the Facility Agent with instructions within that period, that Facility Lender and GIEK (if applicable) shall be bound by the decision of the Facility Agent. Nothing in this clause 15.18 shall limit the right of the Facility Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action without obtaining the instructions of the Facility Lenders, GIEK or the Majority Facility Lenders if the Facility Agent in its discretion considers it necessary or appropriate to take, or refrain from taking, such action in order to preserve the rights of the Facility Lenders and GIEK (if applicable) under or in connection with the Facility Documents. In that event, the Facility Agent will notify the Facility Lenders and GIEK (if applicable) of the action taken by it as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Facility Lenders and GIEK (if applicable) agree to ratify any action taken by the Facility Agent pursuant to this clause 15.18.
For the purposes of this clause, the Facility Security Trustee shall be entitled to rely on any instruction from the Facility Agent on behalf of the relevant Facility Lenders and it will not be liable for acting or refraining from acting in the absence of such instructions.
| 15.19 | Payments |
All amounts payable to a Facility Lender and/or GIEK under this clause 15, clause 9.5 and clause 9.1.2 shall be paid to such account at such bank as that Facility Lender, or in the case of GIEK, the GIEK Agent or GIEK may from time to time direct in writing to the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the GIEK Agent.
If any party owes an amount to the Facility Agent under the Facility Documents the Facility Agent may, after giving notice to that party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that party which the Facility Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Facility Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Facility Documents that party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted.
| 15.20 | “Know your customer” checks |
Each Facility Lender shall promptly upon the request of the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the GIEK Agent supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the GIEK Agent (for itself), in order for the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the GIEK Agent to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Facility Documents.
| 15.21 | Resignation |
Subject to a successor being appointed in accordance with this clause 15.21, the Facility Agent or the GIEK Agent may (and in the case of the Facility Agent if requested by the Majority Facility Lenders and in the case of the GIEK Agent if requested by all of the GIEK Facility Lenders, will), resign as agent and/or the Facility Security Trustee may (and if requested by the Majority Facility Lenders will), resign as Facility Security Trustee at any time without assigning any reason by giving to the Borrower and the Facility Lenders notice of its intention to do so, in which event the following shall apply:
| 15.21.1 | with the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld (but such consent not to be required at any time after an Event of Default which is continuing unremedied or unwaived) the Facility Lenders may within thirty (30) days after the date of the notice from the Facility Agent, the GIEK Agent or the Facility Security Trustee (as the case may be) appoint a successor to act as agent and/or Facility Security Trustee or, if they fail to do so with the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld (but such consent not to be required at any time after an Event of Default which is continuing unremedied or unwaived), the Facility Agent, the GIEK Agent or the Facility Security Trustee (as the case may be) may appoint any other bank or financial institution as its successor; |
| 15.21.2 | the resignation of the Facility Agent, the GIEK Agent or the Facility Security Trustee (as the case may be) shall take effect simultaneously with the appointment of its successor on written notice of that appointment being given to the Borrower and the Facility Lenders; |
| 15.21.3 | the Facility Agent, the GIEK Agent or the Facility Security Trustee (as the case may be) shall thereupon be discharged from all further obligations as agent and/or Facility Security Trustee but shall remain entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this clause 15; and |
| 15.21.4 | the successor of the Facility Agent, the GIEK Agent or the Facility Security Trustee (as the case may be) and each of the other parties to this Agreement shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if that successor had been a Party. |
| 15.22 | Replacement of the Facility Agent for FATCA withholding |
| 15.22.1 | The Facility Agent shall resign in accordance with clause 15.21 above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor facility agent pursuant to clause 15.21 above) if on or after the date which is three (3) months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Facility Agent under the Facility Documents, either: |
| (a) | the Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under clause 15.24 and a Facility Lender reasonably believes that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; |
| (b) | the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to clause 15.24 indicates that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or |
| (c) | the Facility Agent notifies the Borrower and the Facility Lenders that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; |
and (in each case) a Facility Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Facility Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and that Facility Lender, by notice to the Facility Agent, requires it to resign.
| 15.23 | No fiduciary relationship |
Neither the Facility Agent nor the GIEK Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with or be deemed to be a trustee of or for any other person and nothing contained in any Facility Document, or, as the case may be, the GIEK Guarantee shall constitute a partnership between any two or more Facility Lenders or between the Facility Agent, the GIEK Agent and any other person.
| 15.24 | FATCA Information |
| (a) | Subject to clause 15.24(c) below, each Party shall, within ten (10) Banking Days of a reasonable request by another Party: |
| (i) | confirm to that other Party whether it is: |
| (A) | a FATCA Exempt Party; or |
| (B) | not a FATCA Exempt Party; and |
| (ii) | supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “passthru payment percentage” or other information required under the US Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA, provided however that such forms, documentation and other information may be given in accordance with law and other relevant obligations. |
| (b) | If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to clause 15.24(a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly. |
| (c) | Clause 15.24(a) above shall not oblige any Facility Beneficiary to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of: |
| (i) | any law or regulation; |
| (ii) | any fiduciary duty; or |
| (iii) | any policy of that Facility Beneficiary; |
| (iv) | any duty of confidentiality. |
| (d) | If a Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with clause 15.24(a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where clause 15.24(c) above applies), then: |
| (i) | if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Facility Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and |
| (ii) | if that Party failed to confirm its applicable “passthru payment percentage” then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Facility Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable “passthru payment percentage” is 100%, |
until (in each case) such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.
| 15.25 | GIEK Guarantee |
Each GIEK Facility Lender represents and warrants to the GIEK Agent that, with effect from the date it receives the GIEK Guarantee, (i) it has reviewed the GIEK Guarantee and is aware of the provisions thereof, (ii) any representations and warranties made by the GIEK Agent on behalf of each GIEK Facility Lender under the GIEK Guarantee are true and correct with respect to such GIEK Facility Lender in all respects, and (iii) no information provided by such GIEK Facility Lender in writing to the GIEK Agent or to GIEK prior to the date hereof was incomplete, untrue or incorrect in any respect except to the extent that such GIEK Facility Lender, in the exercise of reasonable care and due diligence prior to the giving of the information, could not have discovered the error or omission. Each GIEK Facility Lender represents and warrants to the GIEK Agent that it has not taken (or failed to take), and agrees with the GIEK Agent that it shall not take (or fail to take), any action that would result in the GIEK Agent being in breach of any of its obligations in its capacity as GIEK Agent under the GIEK Guarantee or the Facility Documents, or result in any of GIEK Facility Lenders being in breach of any of their respective obligations as insured parties, under the GIEK Guarantee, or which would otherwise prejudice the GIEK Agent’s ability to make a claim on behalf of the GIEK Facility Lenders under the GIEK Guarantee.
| 15.26 | GIEK Agent actions |
The GIEK Agent agrees to take such actions under the GIEK Guarantee (including with respect to any amendment, modification or supplement to the GIEK Guarantee) as may be directed on the instructions of the Majority GIEK Facility Lenders from time to time; provided that, anything herein or in the GIEK Guarantee to the contrary notwithstanding, the GIEK Agent shall not be obliged to take any such action or to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability in the performance of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder or thereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it or if such action would be contrary to applicable law.
| 15.27 | Additional trustees |
The Facility Security Trustee shall have power by notice in writing to the other Facility Beneficiaries and the Borrower to appoint any person either to act as separate trustee or as co-trustee jointly with the Facility Security Trustee:
| 15.27.1 | if the Facility Security Trustee reasonably considers such appointment to be in the best interests of the Facility Beneficiaries; |
| 15.27.2 | for the purpose of conforming with any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed; or |
| 15.27.3 | for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any jurisdiction or the enforcement in any jurisdiction against any person of a judgment already obtained, |
and any person so appointed shall (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) have such rights, powers, duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Facility Security Trustee shall have power to remove any person so appointed. At the request of the Facility Security Trustee, the other parties to this Agreement (and the Borrower shall procure that the Security Parties) shall forthwith execute all such documents and do all such things as may be required to perfect such appointment or removal and each such party irrevocably authorises the Facility Security Trustee in its name and on its behalf to do the same. Such a person shall accede to this Agreement as a Facility Security Trustee to the extent necessary to carry out their role on terms satisfactory to the Facility Security Trustee and (subject always to the provisions of this Agreement) have such trusts, powers, authorities, liabilities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Facility Security Trustee by this Agreement and the other Facility Documents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment (being no less onerous than would have applied to the Facility Security Trustee but for the appointment). The Facility Security Trustee shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such person if the Facility Security Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such person.
| 15.28 | Custodians and nominees |
The Facility Security Trustee may (to the extent legally permitted) appoint and pay any person to act as a custodian, nominee or delegate on any terms in relation to any assets of the trust as the Facility Security Trustee may determine (including the power to sub-delegate) including for the purpose of depositing with a custodian this Agreement or any document relating to the trust created under this Agreement and the Facility Security Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss, liability, expense, demand, cost, claim or proceedings incurred by reason of the misconduct, omission or default on the part of any person appointed by it under this Agreement or be bound to supervise the proceedings or acts of any person.
| 15.29 | Acceptance of title |
The Facility Security Trustee shall be entitled to accept without enquiry, and shall not be obliged to investigate, any right and title that any of the Security Parties have to any of the Secured Property and shall not be liable for or bound to require any Security Party to remedy any defect in its right or title.
| 15.30 | Refrain from illegality |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied in the Transaction Documents, the Facility Security Trustee may refrain without liability from doing anything which in its opinion will or may be contrary to any relevant law, directive or regulation of any applicable jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, the laws of England, the United States of America or any jurisdiction forming part of it) or any directive, law or regulation of any agency of such state or jurisdiction and the Facility Security Trustee may do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation.
| 15.31 | Insurance by Facility Security Trustee |
Where the Facility Security Trustee is named on any insurance policy (including the Insurances) as an insured party and/or loss payee, the Facility Security Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss which may be suffered by reason of, directly or indirectly, its failure to notify the insurers of any material fact relating to the risk assumed by such insurers or any other information of any kind.
| 15.32 | No additional Security Interests |
Each Facility Lender agrees it will not obtain the benefit of any Security Interests securing any Facility Secured Obligations and not receive the benefit of any guarantee or indemnity of the Facility Secured Obligations except to the extent they are created by or arise under the Facility Documents or with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders and GIEK.
| 16 |
Only a Facility Beneficiary (not the Borrower) may set off any matured obligation due from the Borrower under any Facility Document (to the extent beneficially owned by that Facility Beneficiary) against any matured obligation owed by that Facility Beneficiary to the Borrower, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, that Facility Beneficiary may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.
| 17 |
| 17.1 |
Each amount payable by the Borrower under a Facility Document shall be paid to such account at such bank as the Facility Agent may from time to time direct to the Borrower in the Currency of Account and in such funds as are customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment. Payment shall be deemed to have been received by the Facility Agent on the date on which the Facility Agent receives authenticated advice of receipt, unless that advice is received by the Facility Agent on a day other than a Banking Day or at a time of day (whether on a Banking Day or not) when the Facility Agent in its reasonable discretion considers that it is impossible or impracticable for the Facility Agent to utilise the amount received for value that same day, in which event the payment in question shall be deemed to have been received by the Facility Agent on the next Banking Day following the date of receipt of advice by the Facility Agent.
| 17.2 |
Each payment (whether of principal or interest or otherwise) to be made by the Borrower under a Facility Document shall, subject only to clause 17.3, be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any Taxes or other deductions, withholdings, restrictions, conditions or counterclaims of any nature other than FATCA Deductions.
| 17.3 |
With the exception of a FATCA Deduction, if at any time any law requires (or is interpreted to require) the Borrower to make any deduction or withholding from any payment, or to change the rate or manner in which any required deduction or withholding is made, the Borrower will promptly notify the Facility Agent and, simultaneously with making that payment, will pay to the Facility Agent whatever additional amount (after taking into account any additional Taxes on, or deductions or withholdings from, or restrictions or conditions on, that additional amount) is necessary to ensure that, after making the deduction or withholding, the relevant Facility Beneficiaries receive a net sum equal to the sum which they would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.
| 17.4 |
If at any time the Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment to be made by it under a Facility Document, the Borrower will pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant authority within the time allowed under the applicable law and will, no later than thirty (30) days after making that payment, deliver to the Facility Agent an original receipt issued by the relevant authority, or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent, evidencing the payment to that authority of all amounts required to be deducted or withheld.
| 17.5 |
If the Borrower pays any additional amount under clause 17.3 and a Facility Beneficiary subsequently receives a refund or allowance from any tax authority which that Facility Beneficiary identifies as being referable to that increased amount so paid by the Borrower, that Facility Beneficiary shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, pay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount of the refund or allowance received, if and to the extent that it may do so without prejudicing its right to retain that refund or allowance and without putting itself in any worse financial position than that in which it would have been had the relevant deduction or withholding not been required to have been made. Nothing in this clause 17.5 shall be interpreted as imposing any obligation on any Facility Beneficiary to apply for any refund or allowance nor as restricting in any way the manner in which any Facility Beneficiary organises its tax affairs, nor as imposing on any Facility Beneficiary any obligation to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.
| 17.6 |
If any payment or transfer of funds to be made under a Facility Document, other than a payment of interest on the Loan, shall be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, that payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day (unless the next succeeding Banking Day falls in the next calendar month in which event the payment shall be made on the next preceding Banking Day). Any such variation of time shall be taken into account in computing any interest in respect of that payment.
| 17.7 | [Intentionally omitted] |
| 17.8 |
Each Hedging Provider agrees with and covenants to each of the other Facility Beneficiaries that until the end of the Facility Security Period and without prejudice to any rights which that Hedging Provider may otherwise have against the Borrower (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any right to terminate transactions under its Hedging Agreement or close-out its Hedging Agreement pursuant to a permitted termination event set out therein but subject to any other agreements or covenants of the Hedging Providers set out in any other provision of this Agreement):
| 17.8.1 | it will not, without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent: |
| (a) | at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unremedied and unwaived, accept or demand from the Borrower the payment or repayment in whole or in part of any Indebtedness whatsoever now or hereafter due to it from the Borrower; |
| (b) | at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing unremedied and unwaived, otherwise accept, have the benefit of, or share in any payment from, or composition with, the Borrower (other than pursuant to any contractual set-off and/or netting provisions contained in the Hedging Agreement to which it is a party and without prejudice to its rights as a Facility Beneficiary in respect of the Facility Secured Property); |
| (c) | exercise any other right of whatsoever nature or claim or exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim which it may have against the Borrower (other than pursuant to any contractual set-off and/or netting provisions contained in the Hedging Agreement to which it is a party and without prejudice to its rights as a Facility Beneficiary in respect of the Facility Secured Property); |
| (d) | accept or demand any Collateral Instrument from the Borrower in respect of any right referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above or dispose of any such right (but without prejudice to its rights as a Facility Beneficiary in respect of the Facility Secured Property); |
| (e) | take any step to enforce any right against the Borrower (by proceedings or otherwise) (but without prejudice to its rights as a Facility Beneficiary in respect of the Facility Secured Property); |
| (f) | initiate or take any action which would result in any Insolvency Event in relation to the Borrower; or |
| (g) | claim or prove in any Insolvency Event in relation to the Borrower; |
| 17.8.2 | it will, if so directed by the Facility Agent, prove in any Insolvency Event in relation to the Borrower for the whole or any part of any claim which it may have against the Borrower and on terms that the benefit of such proof and of all moneys received by it in respect thereof shall be held on trust for the Facility Beneficiaries and shall be applied in accordance with clause 10.3. |
| 17.9 |
| 17.9.1 | Each party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction. |
| 17.9.2 | Each party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) notify the party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the other Facility Beneficiaries. |
| 17.10 |
| 17.10.1 | Notwithstanding any other provision to this agreement, if a FATCA Deduction is or will be required to be made by any party under clause 17.9 in respect of a payment to any Facility Lender which is a FATCA FFI (a “FATCA Non-Exempt Lender”), the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender may either: |
| (a) | transfer its entire interest in the Loan to a U.S. branch or affiliate; or |
| (b) | (subject to the prior written consent of the Borrower in the case of a transferee which is not already a Facility Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) nominate one or more transferee lenders who upon becoming a Facility Lender would be a FATCA Exempt Party, by notice in writing to the Facility Agent and the Borrower specifying the terms of the proposed transfer, and cause such transferee lender(s) to purchase all of the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender’s interest in the Loan. |

| 19 |
If, at any time, any provision of a Facility Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.
| 20 |
No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Facility Beneficiary, any right or remedy under a Facility Document shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
| 21 |
| 21.1 | No oral variations |
No variation or amendment of a Facility Document shall be valid unless in writing and signed on behalf of all the Facility Beneficiaries and the relevant Security Party.
| 21.2 | Further Assurance |
If any provision of a Facility Document shall be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by reason of any present or future law or any decision of any court, or if the documents at any time held by or on behalf of the Facility Beneficiaries or any of them are considered by the Facility Lenders for any reason insufficient to carry out the terms of this Agreement, then from time to time the Borrower will promptly, on demand by the Facility Agent, execute or procure the execution of such further documents as in the opinion of the Facility Lenders are necessary to provide adequate security for the repayment of the Facility Secured Obligations.
| 21.3 | Rescission of payments etc. |
Any discharge, release or reassignment by a Facility Beneficiary of any of the security constituted by, or any of the obligations of a Security Party contained in, a Facility Document shall be (and be deemed always to have been) void if any act (including, without limitation, any payment) as a result of which such discharge, release or reassignment was given or made is subsequently wholly or partially rescinded or avoided by operation of any law.
