In furtherance of this Agreement, the parties have separately agreed the contractual or security arrangements that will apply in respect of the Company's obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility Letter, the terms of the relevant Facility Letter shall prevail. 1. AGREEMENT It is agreed between us in relation to each Credit that:- 1.1 In order to establish a Credit, each Company is required to submit an application form to CEP (“the Application Form”). The Application Form must (a) be in such form as CEP is willing to accept for this purpose; Application Forms may, subject to CEP’s agreement, be received via any electronic system(s) or transmission arrangement(s); (b) be completed by or on behalf of the relevant Company in accordance with the terms of such Company’s banking mandate(s) or other authorities lodged with CEP or in accordance with arrangement(s) made with CEP from time to time; and (c) indicate therein the name of the Beneficiary and the amount and term of the Credit required. Upon receipt of an Application Form that satisfies the above criteria, CEP shall establish on behalf of such Company an irrevocable clean sight Credit (or such other form of Credit as may be required by the Application Form relating thereto) available, in whole or in part, by the Beneficiary’s sight draft (such Company hereby agreeing that CEP may accept as a valid ”sight draft” any written or electronic demand or other request for payment under the Credit, even if such demand or other request is not in the form of a negotiable instrument) on CEP or otherwise as may be required by the terms of the Credit; provided, however, that:

2 (i) the opening of any Credit hereunder shall, subject to the relevant Facility Letter, in every instance, be at CEP’s option and nothing herein shall be construed as obliging CEP to open any Credit; (ii) prior to the establishment of any Credit or in order to maintain a Credit, each Company undertakes (to the extent it has entered into a Pledge Agreement with the Bank) as follows: (a) forthwith at CEP’s request (in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement entered into between CEP and that Company), to deposit, at an Approved Bank, in an account or accounts in that Company’s name, cash or securities or a combination of cash and securities of such amount and in such combination as CEP may require (a "Deposit"). “Approved Bank” for the purposes of this Clause 1.1(ii)(a) shall mean one or more of the following:- (i) Citibank, N.A. at their branch at Citigroup Centre, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5LB; (ii) Bank of New York Mellon (iii) a bank approved by CEP; or, (iv) such other Citigroup branch or approved bank as CEP may designate and notify to the relevant Company; and (b) should a Deposit have been requested, to execute CEP’s standard form charge documentation in relation to the accounts opened pursuant to Clause 1.1 (ii) (a) above (to the extent such charge documentation is not already in place). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the terms of the relevant Pledge Agreement shall govern the type and amount of any deposit required to be made with regard to any facility established pursuant to a Facility Letter. 1.2 Each Company undertakes to reimburse CEP the amount of any and all drawings (including, for the avoidance of doubt, drawings presented electronically) under each Credit on the Business Day following notice by CEP to such Company of the drawing. Each Company shall reimburse CEP in the currency of the relevant Credit; 1.3 Each Company undertakes to indemnify CEP, on demand, for and against all actions, proceedings, losses, damages, charges, costs, expenses, claims and demands which CEP may incur, pay or sustain in connection with each Credit and/or this Agreement, howsoever arising (unless resulting from CEP’s or any of its affiliates’ own gross negligence or wilful misconduct); 1.4 Each Company undertakes to pay CEP, on demand, such fees and/or commissions of such amount(s) and/or at such rate(s) as have been agreed in a Fee Letter between CEP and the Company as payable in connection with each Credit; 1.5 Each Company hereby irrevocably authorises CEP to make any payments and comply with any demands which may be claimed from or made upon CEP in connection with any Credit without any reference to, or further authority from, such Company. Each Company hereby agrees that it shall not be incumbent upon CEP to enquire or take notice of whether or not any such payments or demands claimed from or made upon CEP in connection with each Credit are properly made or whether any dispute exists between such Company and the Beneficiary thereof. Each Company further agrees that any payment CEP makes in a Credit, except where such payment results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of CEP, shall be binding upon such Company and shall be accepted by such Company as conclusive evidence that

SET-OFF 13.1 CEP may set off any obligation of a Company under the Facility Documents to which it is a party or in respect of any Credit (whether present or future, actual or contingent) against any obligation owed by CEP to such Company or Citibank N.A., regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, CEP may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. 13.2 Each Company irrevocably and unconditionally authorises any Bank Group Member upon being instructed to do so at any time by CEP to debit any account held in that Company's name with that Bank Group Member for an amount equal to any indebtedness or obligation of that Company referred to in clause 13.1 and following receipt of such an instruction from CEP that Bank Group Member shall promptly debit that account for that amount and pay such amount to CEP (without any reference to or further authority from that Company and without any enquiry as to the justification for the instruction or the validity of the same), and CEP shall apply such monies towards payment of any indebtedness or obligation of that Company referred to in clause 13.1.
