Section 3 - Utilisation

5 Utilisation

Delivery of a Utilisation Request

5.1 The Borrower may utilise the Facilities by (other than in respect of any Rollover Loan utilised pursuant to clauses 5.26 to 5.28 below) delivery to the Agent of a duly completed Utilisation Request not later than four (4) Business Days before the proposed Utilisation Date or such shorter period as the Agent (on the instructions of all the relevant Lenders) may agree.

Completion of a Utilisation Request

5.2 A Utilisation Request is irrevocable and will not be regarded as having been duly completed unless:

(a) the proposed Utilisation Date is a Business Day falling on or before the applicable Last Availability Date;

(b) the currency and amount of the Utilisation comply with clauses 5.4 to 5.13 (Currency and amount);

(c) the proposed Interest Period complies with clause 9 (Interest Periods); and

(d) it identifies the purpose for the Utilisation and the Advance to which it relates and that purpose complies with clause 3 (Purpose).

5.3 Only one Advance may be requested in each Utilisation Request.

Currency and amount

5.4 The currency specified in a Utilisation Request must be dollars.

5.5 The proposed Tranche A Advance specified in the Utilisation Request in relation to a Ship and the Tranche A Advance in relation to that Ship shall not exceed on the relevant Utilisation Date the lesser of:

(a) the Ship Commitment for such Ship; and

(b) the amount in dollars which is equal to 70% of the Fair Market Value of the relevant Ship (as determined from the valuations of such Ship delivered under Part 2 of Schedule 3 (Conditions precedent for each Ship Commitment)).

5.6 The proposed Tranche B Advance specified in the Utilisation Request in relation to a Ship and the Tranche B Advance in relation to that Ship:

(a) shall not on the relevant Utilisation Date exceed the Ship Scrubber Commitment for such Ship; and

(b) shall not result in the aggregate of the amount outstanding under the relevant Tranche A Advance plus relevant Tranche B Advance exceeding 70% of the Fair Market Value of the relevant Ship (as determined from the most recent valuations of such Ship delivered under clause 25.2 (Valuation frequency) but taking into account the installation of the Scrubber).

5.7 There may only be one Utilisation for each of the Ship Commitments under Tranche A.

5.8 There may only be one Utilisation for each of the Ship Scrubber Commitments under Tranche B.

32

5.9 Multiple Advances may be requested under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.

5.10

(a) For the period from the Effective Date to the second Quarter Date occurring after the Effective Date, the aggregate amount available to be advanced under the Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Facility Commitments.

(b) Within 30 days after each Quarter Date following the Effective Date (a Calculation Date), the Borrower shall calculate and provide to the Agent (for distribution to the RCF Lenders), using the valuations of the Mortgaged Ships delivered under clause 25.2 (Valuation frequency) and applicable to that Calculation Date, the amount available to be advanced under the Revolving Credit Facility (the RCF Available Amount) during the quarter period that commences on the next Quarter Date after that Calculation Date and ends on the next Quarter Date thereafter.

(c) Commencing from the second Quarter Date after the Effective Date, the aggregate amount available to be advanced under the Revolving Credit Facility for a quarter period ending on any Quarter Date including all Rollover Loans which are proposed to be advanced (or deemed to be advanced) on that Quarter Date shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Total Revolving Credit Facility Commitments as at the Effective Date and (ii) the amount in dollars which, when aggregated with the Term Loan then outstanding, is equal to 85% of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Mortgaged Ships (as determined from the valuations of the Mortgaged Ships delivered under clause 25.2 (Valuation frequency) and applicable to the Calculation Date relevant to that quarter period) (excluding any Ship that has been sold or has become a Total Loss).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, despite one quarter period ending on a Quarter Date that another quarter period commences on, from the second Quarter Date after the Effective Date, the amount available to be advanced under the Revolving Credit Facility on any Quarter Date (including any Rollover Loans which are proposed to be advanced or deemed to be advanced on that Quarter Date) shall be determined on the basis of the RCF Available Amount for the most recent Calculation Date.

5.11 In respect of a quarter period as described in clause 5.10, to the extent any part of the Total Revolving Credit Facility Commitments is not available to be advanced during that quarter period by reference to the RCF Available Amount determined for that quarter period, the amount not available to be advanced shall be suspended. If a suspension applies for any quarter period and this results in the Borrower needing to make a payment with respect to any Revolving Credit Facility Loan as described in clause 6.11 (a) (i) (Repayment – Revolving Credit Facility), the Borrower will ensure such payment is made in accordance with that clause.

5.12 The amount of any proposed Revolving Credit Facility Loan must be a minimum of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or if less, the undrawn amount of the Total Revolving Credit Facility Commitments less any then Suspended Undrawn Revolving Credit Facility).

5.13 The Loans shall be used for the respective purposes specified in clause 3 (Purpose).

Lenders' participation

5.14 If the conditions set out in this Agreement have been met and subject to clause 6 (Repayment), each relevant Lender shall make its participation in each Advance available by the relevant Utilisation Date through its Facility Office.

5.15 The amount of each relevant Lender's participation in each Advance under a Tranche or, as the case may be, under the Revolving Credit Facility, will be equal to the proportion borne by its undrawn Commitment under (i) the applicable Tranche to the undrawn Total Commitments under such Tranche or (ii) the Revolving Credit Facility to the Total Revolving Credit Facility Commitments, immediately prior to making the relevant Advance in each such case.

33

5.16 The Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender of the amount of each Advance and the amount of its participation in the Advance and, if different, the amount of that participation to be made available in accordance with clauses 35.1 and 35.2 (Payments to the Agent), in each case by 11:00 a.m. (Oslo time) on the Business Day following the date of the Utilisation Request.

5.17 The Agent shall pay all amounts received by it in respect of each Advance (and its own participation in it, if any) to the Borrower or the Builder if appropriate, in each case in accordance with the instructions contained in the Utilisation Request.

Pre-placement of Tranche A Advances

5.18 In order to facilitate compliance by the Owner with a Building Contract, and provided that:

(a) the Borrower has submitted a Utilisation Request in respect of a Tranche A Advance in accordance with this clause 5;

(b) in the discretionary opinion of the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Xxxxxxx) the Borrower has satisfied the conditions precedent set out in paragraphs 1 and 3 to 5 of Part 1 of Schedule 3 (Conditions precedent to any Utilisation); and

(c) the Agent has not been notified that the Borrower is unlikely to satisfy all remaining and outstanding conditions precedent set out in Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of Schedule 3 (Conditions precedent) in relation to the Ship to which such Tranche A Advance relates by the Delivery Date (but not later than ten (10) Business Days from the Utilisation Date) for such Tranche A Advance or such other date as may be agreed by the Term Lenders,

the Agent (acting on the instructions of all Term Lenders) shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of clauses 5.18 to 5.24 and the other provisions of this Agreement, make such Tranche A Advance to the accounts set out in the Utilisation Request and on the date specified in the relevant Utilisation Request, being the date on which the final instalment of the relevant Contract Price is required to be deposited in accordance with the relevant Building Contract (being, in respect of each Ship, up to three (3) Building Contract Business Days (or, such shorter time period as is required pursuant to the terms of the relevant Building Contract) prior to the anticipated Delivery of a Ship under its Building Contract) to (i) in respect of the amount payable to the Builder pursuant to the relevant Building Contract, the Builder's Bank and (ii), in respect of the remaining portion of the Tranche A Advance, a suspense account held with the Agent (the Suspense Account).

5.19 A Tranche A Advance utilised pursuant to clauses 5.18 to 5.24 (a Pre-placed Advance) shall (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement) be remitted by the Agent to:

(a) in respect of the portion of the Tranche A Advance to be remitted to the Builder, the relevant Builder’s Bank as a cash deposit in the Agent’s name with the relevant Builder’s Bank with its correspondent bank in New York, and will be held by the relevant Builder’s Bank to the order of the Agent for release by the Agent to the Builder (a Release) only subject to such irrevocable instructions addressed from the Agent to the relevant Builder’s Bank as are acceptable to the Agent (Irrevocable Instructions); and

(b) in respect of the remaining portion of the Tranche A Advance after the remittance has been sent to the Builder’s Bank in accordance with paragraph (a) above, such amount will be held by the Agent in the Suspense Account for release by the Agent to the Borrower at the time of a Release.

5.20 Any such Irrevocable Instructions in relation to a Pre-placed Advance shall in any event provide (inter alia) that the relevant Pre-placed Advance shall be returned to the Agent within five (5) Building Contract Business Days of the date that the same was remitted to the relevant Builder’s Bank if not released to the Builder and the Borrower or to their order. The Finance Parties and the Obligors hereby agree that the relevant Pre-placed Advance shall not be released to the Builder and the Borrower or to their order, and the Agent (and the authorised representatives of the Agent specified in the Irrevocable Instructions) shall not agree to counter-sign the “Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance” (if applicable) in respect of the relevant Ship nor release the relevant Pre-placed Advance to the Builder and the Borrower or to their order, unless and until:

34

(a) the Agent is satisfied that the “Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance” in respect of that Ship has been signed by the Builder and the Owner; and

(b) the Agent is satisfied that all the conditions precedent set out in Part 1 of Schedule 3 (Conditions precedent to any Utilisation), Part 2 of Schedule 3 (Conditions precedent for each Ship Commitment) and Part 3 of Schedule 3 (Conditions precedent on Delivery) in relation to such Ship and such Pre-placed Advance have been, or will be promptly thereafter, satisfied in full.

5.21 The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes that it shall not give any instructions to a Builder’s Bank in respect of a Pre-placed Advance that are inconsistent with any Irrevocable Instructions in respect of that Pre-placed Advance.

5.22 Unless the Agent (acting on the instructions of all Term Lenders) otherwise agrees, the Borrower shall immediately prepay a Pre-placed Advance, together with interest thereon (calculated in accordance with clause 8.1 (Calculation of interest)), on the date on which the relevant Builder’s Bank is required to return the moneys funded by that Pre-placed Advance to the Agent in accordance with the relevant Irrevocable Instructions (and regardless of whether the relevant Builder’s Bank has then carried out such instructions), provided that any moneys actually returned to the Agent from the relevant Builder’s Bank shall be applied by the Agent in satisfaction of such prepayment obligation of the Borrower and in payment of any amounts payable by the Borrower under clauses 7.21 to 7.29 (Restrictions) as a result of such prepayment. Any such prepayment shall not reduce the relevant Ship Commitment.

5.23 In case of application of clauses 5.18 to 5.24 in respect of any Pre-placed Advance, each Pre-placed Advance shall accrue interest in accordance with the terms of clause 8.1 (Calculation of interest) from the Utilisation Date for that Pre-placed Advance.

5.24 Any amount prepaid under clause 5.22 in respect of a Pre-placed Advance shall be, subject to the other terms of this Agreement, available to be redrawn by the Borrower where Delivery of the relevant Ship has been delayed, in again assisting the Owner to satisfy its obligations under the relevant Building Contract, provided that such reborrowing is done within the Last Availability Date.

5.25 In this clause 5:

(a) Building Contract Business Day means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for general business in Singapore, New York and Seoul.

(b) Builder's Bank means either the Korea Development Bank or the Korean Exchange Bank or any other bank of the Builder acceptable to all Term Lenders.

Rollover Loans

5.26 On the last day of the Interest Period for a maturing Revolving Credit Facility Loan which falls on or before the Last Availability Date for the Revolving Credit Facility (a Rollover Date) (on which date such Revolving Credit Facility Loan is due to be repaid), the RCF Lenders shall, unless (a) not less than three (3) Business Days before such Rollover Date the Borrower notifies the Agent that no Rollover Loan should be advanced for the relevant Revolving Credit Facility Loan or (b) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, be deemed to advance to the Borrower a Rollover Loan in an aggregate amount of which is equal to (or less than, if the Borrower notifies the Agent of the same pursuant to clause 6.7 (Repayment – Revolving Credit Facility)), the maturing Revolving Credit Facility Loan or, if less, the balance of the available and undrawn Total Revolving Credit Facility Commitments.

35

5.27 Such Rollover Loan shall be made solely for the purpose of refinancing the maturing Revolving Credit Facility Loan on the last day of its Interest Period.

5.28 For the avoidance of doubt, no Utilisation Request needs to be given by the Borrower in relation to the utilisation of a Rollover Loan made and applied pursuant to clauses 5.26 and 5.27.

7.10 The Borrower may, in the circumstances set out in clauses 7.1 (Illegality) or 7.7, on ten (10) Business Days' prior notice to the Agent and that Xxxxxx, replace that Lender by requiring that Lender to assign (and, to the extent permitted by law, that Lender shall assign) pursuant to clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of its rights under this Agreement to a Lender or other bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (save for any entity related to the Borrower) selected by the Borrower which confirms its willingness to undertake and does undertake all the obligations of the assigning Lender in accordance with clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders) for a purchase price in cash or other cash payment payable at the time of the assignment equal to the aggregate of:

41

(a) the outstanding principal amount of such Xxxxxx's participation in the Loans;

(b) all accrued interest owing to such Xxxxxx;

(c) the Break Costs which would have been payable to such Lender pursuant to clause 10.5(a) (Break Costs) had the Borrower prepaid in full that Xxxxxx’s participation in the Loans on the date of the assignment; and

(d) all other amounts payable to that Lender under the Finance Documents on the date of the assignment.

7.12 A Lender shall perform the checks described in clause 7.11(d) above as soon as reasonably practicable following delivery of a notice referred to in clause 7.10 above and shall notify the Agent and the Borrower when it is satisfied that it has complied with those checks.

7.13 The Agent shall perform the checks described in clause 7.11(e) above as soon as reasonably practicable following delivery of a notice referred to in clause 7.10 above and shall notify the Borrower when it is satisfied that it has complied with those checks.

(a) the Borrower or the Agent (at the request of the Borrower) has requested the Lenders to give a consent in relation to, or to agree to a waiver or amendment of, any provisions of the Finance Documents;

(b) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the approval of all the Lenders; and

(c) the Majority Lenders have consented or agreed to such waiver or amendment,

then any Xxxxxx who, under the terms of this Agreement, is entitled to vote but who does not and continues not to consent or agree to such waiver or amendment shall be deemed a Non- Consenting Lender.

Sale or Total Loss

7.15 On the Disposal Repayment Date in relation to any Ship, unless the Borrower has provided a ‘Substitute Ship’ in accordance with clause 25.16 (Substitution of a Mortgaged Ship):

(a) the Borrower shall prepay the Tranche A Advance and Tranche B Advance in relation to such Ship in full; and

(b) the Total Revolving Credit Facility Commitments shall be reduced by the RCF Fraction and, to the extent that the aggregate of the Revolving Credit Facility Loans then exceed the Total Revolving Credit Facility Commitments as so reduced, the Borrower shall prepay such Revolving Credit Facility Loans pro rata in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

7.16 If the provisions of clause 25 (Minimum security value) do not remain satisfied notwithstanding the prepayments required by clause 7.15(a), such amount of the excess sale or Total Loss proceeds as are required to ensure that the provisions of clause 25 (Minimum security value) are satisfied shall be used to prepay the Term Loan and the Borrower may determine which Advance or Advances shall be prepaid as a consequence.

7.17 In addition to the prepayments required under clauses 7.15 and 7.16 above, the sale or Total Loss proceeds remaining shall be applied in or towards all applications of payments required to be made under clause 35.8 (Partial payments) and any other amount due at such time under the Finance Documents which remain unpaid.

7.19 In respect of clause 7.15, the Fair Market Value of the Ships will be based on the latest quarterly valuations provided to the Agent pursuant to clause 25.2 (Valuation frequency). For the avoidance of doubt, the consent of the Lenders is not required in respect of the release and discharge of any security pursuant to clause 7.15 provided that upon such release and discharge and, if so required by the Agent, the Borrower shall reimburse to the Agent any costs and expenses payable under clause 16.1 (Transaction expenses) in relation to that release and discharge.

45

Section 5 - Costs of Utilisation

8 Interest

Calculation of interest

8.1 The rate of interest on a Loan for any day during each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

(a) Margin; and

(b) the Compounded Reference Rate for that day.

8.2 If any day during an Interest Period for a Loan is not an RFR Banking Day, the rate of interest on that Loan for that day will be the rate applicable to the immediately preceding RFR Banking Day.

Payment of interest

8.3 The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on:

(a) each Tranche A Advance (or the relevant part of it) for the account of the Term Lenders;

(b) each Tranche B Advance (or the relevant part of it) for the account of the Term Lenders; and

(c) each Revolving Credit Facility Loan for the account of the RCF Lenders,

on the last day of each Interest Period for that Advance (or any relevant part of it) or that Revolving Credit Facility Loan, as the case may be, which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, coincide with a Quarter Date (and, if the Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, on the dates falling at three (3) monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period), provided that the first interest payment date for each Tranche A Advance shall be the First Repayment Date for such Tranche A Advance and the first interest payment date for each Tranche B Advance shall be on the First Repayment Date for such Tranche B Advance.

Default interest

8.4 If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document (other than a Hedging Contract) on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to clause 8.5 below, is two per cent (2%) per annum higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Loan to which it relates for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this clause 8.4 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

8.5 If any overdue amount consists of all or part of an Advance which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to that Advance or the relevant part of it:

(a) the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Advance; and

(b) the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be two per cent (2%) per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

46

8.6 Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount 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.

Notification of rates of interest

8.7

(a) The Agent shall promptly upon an Interest Payment being determinable notify:

(i) the Borrower of that Interest Payment;

(ii) each relevant Lender of the proportion of that Interest Payment which relates to that Xxxxxx's participation in each relevant Loan; and

(iii) the relevant Lenders and the Borrower of:

(A) each applicable rate of interest relating to the determination of that Interest Payment; and

(B) to the extent it is then determinable, the Market Disruption Rate (if any) relating to the relevant Loan.

This clause 8.7(a) shall not apply to any Interest Payment determined pursuant to clause 10.3 (Cost of funds).

(b) The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of each Funding Rate relating to a Loan.

(c) The Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders and the Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest relating to a Loan to which clause 10.3 (Cost of funds) applies.

(d) This clause 8.7 shall not require the Agent to make any notification to any Party on a day which is not a Business Day.

(e) Notwithstanding clause 8.3 (Payment of interest), if the Agent is unable for any reason to provide a notification as required in paragraph (a) above then the Borrower shall pay interest within two Business Days following the Agent’s notification of the Interest Payment due and this shall be treated as the due date for such payment for the purposes of clauses 28.2 to 28.3 (Non-payment).

47

9.5 The first Interest Period for an Advance under either Tranche A or Tranche B shall end on the Quarter Date immediately following the Utilisation Date of that Advance, unless the period commencing on such Utilisation Date and ending on such Quarter Date is less than 45 days, whereupon the first Interest Period for such Advance shall end on the second Quarter Date after that Utilisation Date. Each Interest Period applying to each Advance shall always end on a Quarter Date.

9.6 No Interest Period in respect of an Advance shall extend beyond the applicable Final Repayment Date for that Advance.

Interest Periods overrunning Repayment Dates

9.7 No Interest Period for a Tranche A Advance shall overrun any later Repayment Date for that Tranche A Advance.

10 Changes to the calculation of interest

then clause 10.3 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Loan for the relevant Interest Period.

10.3 Cost of funds

(a) If this clause 10.3 (Cost of funds) applies to a Loan for an Interest Period, clause 8.1 (Calculation of interest) shall not apply to that Loan for that Interest Period and the rate of interest on each Lender's share of that Loan for that Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

48

(i) the Margin;

(ii) the rate notified to the Agent by that Xxxxxx as soon as practicable and in any event by the Reporting Time, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.

(b) If this clause 10.3 (Cost of funds) applies and the Agent or the Borrower so require and provided that no amendment or waiver has been made during the relevant Interest Period pursuant to clause 41.5 (Change to reference rates), the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

(c) Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall, with the prior consent of all of the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

(d) If this clause 10.3 (Cost of funds) applies pursuant to clause 10.2 (Market disruption) and:

(i) a Lender's Funding Rate is less than the relevant Market Disruption Rate; or

(ii) a Lender does not supply a quotation by the Reporting Time,

the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in a Loan for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph (a) above, to be the Market Disruption Rate for that Loan.

(e) Subject to clause 10.3(d), if this clause 10.3 applies but any Lender does not notify a rate to the Agent by the Reporting Time the rate of interest shall be calculated on the basis of the rates notified by the relevant remaining Lenders.

10.4 Notification to the Borrower

If clause 10.3 (Cost of funds) applies, the Agent shall, as soon as is practicable, notify the Borrower.

10.5 Break Costs

(a) If an amount is specified as Break Costs in the Compounded Rate Terms, the Borrower shall, within six (6) Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

(b) Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, confirm by email or otherwise the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

49

11.3 The Borrower shall pay the accrued commitment commission referred to in clause 11.1 on the last day of each Quarter Date, on the applicable Last Availability Date for Tranche A or, as the case may be, Tranche B and, if cancelled, on the cancelled amount of the relevant Term Lender's Commitments at the time the cancellation is effective.

12.18 For the purposes of clauses 12.16 to 12.17 a sum shall be deemed to be taxable in the hands of a Protected Party if it falls to be taken into account in computing the profits or gains of that Protected Party for the purposes of Tax and, if so, that Protected Party shall be deemed to have suffered Tax on the relevant sum at the rate of Tax applicable to that Protected Party’s profits or gains for the period in which the payment of the relevant sum falls to be taken into account for the purposes of such Tax.

Tax Credit

12.19 If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:

(a) a Tax Credit is attributable (A) to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, (B) to that Tax Payment or (C) to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and

(b) that Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.

53

Stamp taxes

12.20 The Borrower shall pay and, within six (6) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any documented cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

Value added tax

12.21 All amounts expressed in a Finance Document to be payable by any party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to clause 12.23 below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any party under a Finance Document, and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party).

12.22 If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier) to any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any party to a Finance Document other than the Recipient (the Subject Party) is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(a) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Subject Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (a) applies) promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(b) (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Subject Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

12.23 Where a Finance Document requires any party to it to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment of in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

12.24 Any reference in clauses 12.21 to 12.25 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994).

12.25 In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

54

Lender Status Confirmation

12.26 Each Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the Transfer Certificate which it executes on becoming a Party, and for the benefit of the Agent and without liability to any Obligor, which of the following categories it falls in:

(a) not a Qualifying Lender;

(b) a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or

(c) a Treaty Lender.

12.27 If a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with clause 12.26 then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer Certificate shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with clause 12.26.

FATCA information

12.28 Subject to clause 12.30 below, each Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(a) confirm to that other Party whether it is:

(i) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(ii) not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(b) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA; and

(c) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

12.29 If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to clause 12.28(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.

12.30 Clause 12.28 above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and clause 12.28 shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(a) any law or regulation;

(b) any fiduciary duty; or

(c) any duty of confidentiality,

or to disclose any Confidential Information.

12.31 If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with clause 12.28 above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where clause 12.30 applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

FATCA Deduction

12.32 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.

55

12.33 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 and the Agent and the Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

Hedging

12.34 Notwithstanding anything in clause 1.1 (Definitions), references to the Finance Documents or a Finance Document in this clause 12 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) do not include any Hedging Contract or Hedging Master Agreement entered into by the Borrower with any Hedging Provider in connection with the Facilities.

13 Increased Costs

Increased Costs

13.1 Subject to clause 13.5 (Exceptions), the Borrower shall, within six (6) Business Days of a demand by the Agent, pay for the account of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Cost incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates which:

(a) arises as a result of (i) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation in either case made after the date of this Agreement; and/or

(b) is a Basel III Increased Cost.

13.2 In this Agreement Increased Costs means:

(a) a reduction in the rate of return from the Facilities or on a Finance Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital;

(b) an additional or increased cost; or

(c) a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Finance Document,

which is incurred or suffered by a Finance Party or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Finance Party having entered into its Commitment or funding or performing its obligations under any Finance Document.

Increased Cost claims

13.3 A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to clause 13.1 (Increased Costs) shall notify the Agent of the event giving rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower.

13.4 Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Costs and the basis of its calculation.

Exceptions

13.5 Clause 13.1 (Increased Costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is:

(a) attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by an Obligor;

(b) compensated for by clause 12.12 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under clause 12.12 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in clause 12.13 applied);

56

(c) attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance Party or its Affiliates of any law or regulation;

(d) attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; or

(e) a Basel II Increased Cost

13.6 In clause 13.5, a reference to a Tax Deduction has the same meaning given to the term in clause 12.1 (Definitions).

Hedging

13.7 Notwithstanding anything in clause 1.1 (Definitions), references to the Finance Documents or a Finance Document in this clause 13 (Increased Costs) do not include any Hedging Contract or Hedging Master Agreement entered into by the Borrower with any Hedging Provider in connection with the Facilities.

14.1 If any sum due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (a Sum), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the First Currency) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the Second Currency) for the purpose of:

(a) any and all documented Losses incurred by the Agent or the Security Agent (acting reasonably) as a result of:

(i) investigating any event which it reasonably believes is a Default;

Mitigation

15.1 Each Finance Party shall, in consultation with the Borrower, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which would result in any amount becoming payable under or pursuant to, or cancelled pursuant to, any of clause 7.1 (Illegality), clause 12 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) or clause 13 (Increased Costs) including (but not limited to) assigning its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents to another Affiliate or Facility Office.

15.2 Clause 15.1 does not in any way limit the obligations of any Obligor under the Finance

Documents.

Accordingly, if a payment is received by way of indemnity or reimbursement of costs by any Finance Party under any of the Finance Documents which, but for this provision, would also be due under this Agreement, the person making the payment (the payer) shall be relieved, pro tanto, from any obligation to pay a corresponding amount under this Agreement provided that any settlement or discharge between such Finance Party on the one hand and the payer on the other shall be conditional upon no security or payment (whether by set-off or otherwise) to such Finance Party in relation to this Agreement or any other Finance Document being avoided or reduced by virtue of any laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application and, if any such security or payment is so avoided or reduced, such Finance Party shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of such security or payment from the payer subsequently as if such settlement or discharge had not occurred.

61

Section 7 - Guarantee

17 Guarantee and indemnity

Guarantee and indemnity

17.1 The Parent irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) guarantees to the Security Agent (as trustee for the Finance Parties) and the other Finance Parties punctual performance by each other Obligor of all such Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents;

(b) undertakes with the Security Agent (as trustee for the Finance Parties) and the other Finance Parties that whenever another Obligor does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, it shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(c) agrees with the Security Agent (as trustee for the Finance Parties) and the other Finance Parties that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of the Borrower not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by the Borrower under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the Parent under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this clause 17.1 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

Continuing guarantee

17.2 This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

Reinstatement

17.3 If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration, judicial management or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Parent under this clause 17 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

Waiver of defences

17.4 The obligations of the Parent under this clause 17 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing (whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) which, but for this clause, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this clause 17 including (without limitation):

(a) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

(b) the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any other Obligor;

62

(c) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

(d) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;

(e) any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of any Finance Document or any other document or security including without limitation any change in the purpose of, any extension of or any increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;

(f) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security; or

(g) any insolvency or similar proceedings.

Immediate recourse

17.5 The Parent waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Parent under this clause 17. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

Appropriations

17.6 Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

(a) refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Parent shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Parent or on account of the Parent’s liability under this clause 17.

Deferral of Parent’s rights

17.7 Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Agent otherwise directs, the Parent will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this clause 17:

(a) to be indemnified by another Obligor;

(b) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor’s obligations under the Finance Documents;

(c) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party;

63

(d) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Parent has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under clause 17 (Guarantee and indemnity);

(e) to exercise any right of set-off against any other Obligor; and/or

(f) to claim or prove as a creditor of any other Obligor in competition with any Finance Party.

17.8 If the Parent receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it will promptly pay an equal amount to the Agent for application in accordance with clause 35 (Payment mechanics). This only applies until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full.

Additional security

17.9 This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.

Default interest

17.10 No interest of the type referred to at clauses 8.4 to 8.6 (Default interest) shall accrue on any amount unpaid by the Parent under clause 17.1 (Guarantee and indemnity) in addition to that accrued and accruing on the guaranteed amount.

64

Subordination of loans

21.26 The Borrower and the Parent shall procure that any shareholder loans between the Borrower and the Parent and any of its shareholders or any loans by the Owner to the Borrower shall be documented on a basis that they are subordinated to the Facilities and the Hedging Contracts on terms consistent with clause 27.4 (Distributions and other payments).

Except with prior written approval from the Agent (acting on the instructions of all Term Lenders), the Ship shall not be registered under any other flag or at any other port or fly any other flag (other than that of its Flag State), provided that no such approval shall be required for the registration of a Ship under the flag of another Approved Flag State as long as replacement Security Interests are granted in respect of that Ship (which provide recourse materially equivalent to those in place prior to such registration) in favour of the Security Agent immediately following the registration of such Ship under the flag of that Approved Flag State. If that registration is for a limited period, it shall be renewed at least forty five (45) days before the date it is due to expire and the Agent shall be notified of that renewal at least thirty (30) days before that date.

22.4 Nothing will be done and no action will be omitted if that might result in such registration being forfeited or imperilled or the Ship being required to be registered under the laws of another state of registry other than an Approved Flag State.

80

Sale or other disposal of Ship

Expenses of valuation

25.3 The Borrower shall bear, and reimburse to the Agent where incurred by the Agent, all costs and expenses of providing such a valuation.

Valuations procedure

25.4 The value of any Mortgaged Ship and any other ship provided as security for the Facilities shall be determined by Approved Brokers in accordance with this clause 25. Additional security provided under this clause 25 (save for any other ship provided as security for the Facilities) shall be valued in such a way, on such a basis and by such persons (including the Agent itself) as may be approved by the Majority Lenders or as may be agreed in writing by the Borrower and the Agent (on the instructions of the Majority Lenders).

Currency of valuation

25.5 Valuations shall be provided by Approved Brokers in dollars.

Basis of valuation

25.6 Each valuation will be addressed to the Agent in its capacity as such and made: (a) on a fleet basis without physical inspection;

(b) on the basis of a sale for prompt delivery for a price payable in full in cash on delivery at arm’s length on normal commercial terms between a willing buyer and a willing seller; and

(c) without taking into account the benefit or the burden of any charter commitment.

Information required for valuation

25.7 The Borrower shall promptly provide to the Agent and any such Approved Broker any information which they reasonably require for the purposes of providing such a valuation.

Approval of valuers

25.8 All valuers must be Approved Brokers for the purposes of this clause 25.

25.9 When a valuation is required for the purposes of this clause 25, the Borrower shall promptly appoint Approved Brokers to provide such a valuation. If the Borrower fails to do so promptly, the Agent may appoint Approved Brokers to provide that valuation.

Number of valuers

25.10 Each valuation shall be carried out by two (2) Approved Brokers nominated by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails promptly to nominate two (2) Approved Brokers, then the Agent may nominate such Approved Brokers to carry out the valuation.

Differences in valuations

25.11 If valuations provided by the two (2) Approved Brokers differ by more than a margin of 10%, a third Approved Broker appointed by the Agent shall provide a valuation and the value of the relevant Ship for the purposes of the Finance Documents will be the average of all of the three (3) valuations.

91

Security shortfall

25.12 If at any time following a valuation check permitted by clause 25.2 (Valuation frequency) (except for clause 25.2(d)), the Security Value is less than the Minimum Value, the Agent may, and shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, by notice to the Borrower require that such deficiency be remedied. The Borrower shall then within sixty (60) days of receipt of such notice ensure that the Security Value is no less than the Minimum Value. For this purpose, the Borrower may:

(a) provide additional security over other assets reasonably approved by the Majority Lenders in accordance with this clause 25 (and, for this purpose, if any cash security is provided in a form acceptable to the Majority Lenders then, for the purpose of this clause 25.12, such cash security shall have the same effect as if it had instead been used to prepay an amount of the Facilities pursuant to paragraph (b) below); and/or

(b) prepay under clause 7.6 (Voluntary prepayment) a corresponding amount of the Facilities (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may determine which Advance or Advances shall be prepaid as a consequence).

Creation of additional security

25.13 The value of any additional security which the Borrower offers to provide to remedy all or part of a shortfall in the amount of the Security Value will only be taken into account for the purposes of determining the Security Value or the Minimum Value if and when:

(a) that additional security, its value and the method of its valuation (except for in the case of any ship) have been approved by the Majority Lenders;

(b) a Security Interest over that security has been constituted in favour of the Security Agent or (if appropriate) the Finance Parties in an approved form and manner;

(c) this Agreement has been unconditionally amended in such manner as the Agent requires in consequence of that additional security being provided; and

(d) the Agent, or its duly authorised representative, has received such documents and evidence it may require in relation to that amendment and additional security including documents and evidence of the type referred to in Schedule 3 (Conditions precedent) in relation to that amendment and additional security and its execution and (if applicable) registration.

Release of additional security

25.14 If at any time the Agent holds additional security provided under clause 25.12 (Security shortfall) and the Security Value, disregarding the value of that additional security, exceeds the Minimum Value, disregarding any cash security provided under clause 25.12 (Security shortfall), by at least five per cent (5%) of the Minimum Value, disregarding any cash security provided under clause 25.12 (Security shortfall), and the Security Value has been determined by reference to valuations provided no more than thirty (30) days previously, the Borrower may, by notice to the Agent, require the release and discharge of that additional security. The Agent shall then promptly release and discharge that additional security if no Default is then continuing or will result from such release and discharge and, upon such release and discharge and, if so required by the Agent, the Borrower shall reimburse to the Agent any costs and expenses payable under clause 16.1 (Transaction expenses) in relation to that release and discharge.

92

Release of security over a Ship after request or prepayment of an Advance

25.15 If at any time the Tranche A Advance of a Ship under Tranche A and the Tranche B Advance of the same Ship under Tranche B has been repaid in full and the Borrower requests the withdrawal of that Ship which is a Mortgaged Ship and the Security Value, disregarding the Fair Market Value of the Mortgaged Ship to be withdrawn, is equal to or exceeds the Minimum Value and the Security Value has been maintained as determined by reference to valuations provided no more than thirty (30) days previously, the Borrower may, by notice to the Agent, require the release and discharge of the applicable Security Documents in respect of any such Mortgaged Ship. The Security Agent shall then promptly release and discharge such Security Documents in respect of such Ships if no Default is then continuing or will result from such release and discharge and, upon such release and discharge and, if so required by the Agent, the Borrower shall reimburse to the Agent any costs and expenses payable under clause 16.1 (Transaction expenses) in relation to that release and discharge.

Substitution of a Mortgaged Ship

25.16 Subject to no Event of Default which is continuing, if at any time the Borrower requests the substitution of a Mortgaged Ship with another vessel (the Substitute Ship), the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Term Lenders) shall consent to the substitution of such Mortgaged Ship on the following conditions:

(a) the Substitute Ship is an LR1, LR2 or MR vessel and no older than the Mortgaged Ship being substituted;

(b) the Substitute Ship is seaworthy and in a satisfactory or similar condition to the Mortgaged Ship being substituted and is classed with an Approved Classification Society and registered under an Approved Flag State;

(c) the Security Value after the proposed substitution, including the Fair Market Value of the Substitute Ship but not including the Mortgaged Ship to be substituted, is or will be equal to or in excess of the Security Value at the time immediately before such substitution where the Security Value has been determined by reference to valuations provided no more than thirty (30) days previously; and

(d) equivalent Security Interests are entered into in respect of the Substitute Ship on the date of substitution on substantially the same terms or similar as the Security Interests which are in place for all other Ships and appropriate amendments are made to this Agreement and the other Finance Documents to reflect the change in Security Documents and the Substitute Ship (in each case to the satisfaction of the Term Lenders).

25.17 If the conditions in clause 25.16 are met to the Term Lenders’ satisfaction, the Security Agent shall then promptly release and discharge such Security Documents in respect of such Mortgaged Ship being substituted on the date of substitution if no Default is then continuing or will result from such release and discharge and, upon such release and discharge and, if so required by the Agent, the Borrower shall reimburse to the Agent any costs and expenses payable under clause 16.1 (Transaction expenses) in relation to that release and discharge and the entering into of new Security Documents in respect of the Substitute Ship.

26 Hedging Contracts

26.1 The Borrower undertakes that this clause 26 will be complied with throughout the Facility Period and, with respect to any hedging entered into by the Borrower with a Hedging Provider under a Hedging Contract for an aggregate notional principal amount that is equal to or less than the Loans and any undrawn and uncancelled Revolving Credit Facility Commitments (including any Suspended Undrawn Revolving Credit Facility), payments under any such Hedging Contract shall be payable at the end of each relevant Interest Period and no Hedging Transaction forming part of a Hedging Contract shall extend beyond the relevant Final Repayment Date for the Facility (or relevant part thereof) to which it relates.

93

Hedging Contracts

26.2 If, at any time during the Facility Period, the Borrower wishes to enter into any Treasury Transaction so as to hedge all or any part of its exposure under this Agreement to interest rate fluctuations, it shall advise the Agent in writing.

26.3 If the Borrower proposes to enter into any such Treasury Transaction in relation to a Facility, the Borrower shall offer to the Hedging Providers who are (or, in the case of any Hedging Provider, whose Affiliate is) a Lender under that Facility the right of first refusal to enter into the proposed Treasury Transaction as its counterparties on those Treasury Transactions. If (a) the relevant Hedging Providers have not responded to the Borrower within five (5) Business Days from being notified by the Borrower with respect to their choice to enter into the proposed Treasury Transaction with the Borrower or (b) the pricing and terms offered by any of those Hedging Providers to the Borrower within such period for such Treasury Transaction is not competitive with the pricing and terms available to the Borrower in the market, the Borrower may enter into the proposed Treasury Transaction with a third party (a Third Party Hedging Provider) on terms better than those offered by that Hedging Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the aforesaid first right of refusal, the Borrower shall have no obligation under this clause to enter into a Treasury Transaction with a particular Hedging Provider relevant to a Facility that wishes to enter into a Treasury Transaction with the Borrower where the pricing and terms offered by that Hedging Provider are more competitive than the pricing and terms offered by Third Party Hedging Providers but less competitive than the pricing and terms offered for such Treasury Transactions by another Hedging Provider relevant to a Facility.

26.4 Where the relevant hedge counterparty is a Hedging Provider, it shall share a first priority Security Interest in the Charged Property with the Lenders but will rank in accordance with clause 35.8.

26.5 Where the relevant hedging counterparty is a Third Party Hedging Provider, it shall not be a party to this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents and it shall not share a Security Interest in the Charged Property with the Lenders or the Hedging Providers in respect of any amounts owing to such counterparty under such Treasury Transaction.

26.6 Any Treasury Transaction concluded with a Hedging Provider in relation to any Facility shall be on the terms of a Hedging Master Agreement. If and when any Treasury Transaction with a Hedging Provider has been concluded in relation to any Facilities, it shall constitute a Hedging Contract for the purposes of the Finance Documents.

Information concerning Hedging Contracts

26.7 The Borrower shall provide the Agent with any information it may request concerning any Hedging Contract, including all reasonable information, accounts and records that may be necessary or of assistance to enable the Agent to verify the amounts of all payments and any other amounts payable under the Hedging Contracts.

26.8 Each Hedging Provider hereby authorises the Borrower to provide to the Agent any such information as referred to in clause 26.7 above.

Distributions and other payments

27.4 If an Event of Default is continuing (or if an Event of Default would occur as a result therefrom), neither the Borrower nor the Parent shall:

(b) make any payment (including by way of set-off, combination of accounts or otherwise) by way of interest, or repayment, redemption, purchase or other payment, in respect of any shareholder loan, loan stock or similar instrument.

27.5 If an Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower and the Parent shall not redeem or purchase or otherwise reduce any of its equity or any other share capital or any warrants or any uncalled or unpaid liability in respect of any of them or reduce the amount (if any) for the time being standing to the credit of its share premium account or capital redemption or other undistributable reserve in any manner.

29.6 Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with the Finance Documents on or prior to the date on which the assignment or transfer becomes effective in accordance with the Finance Documents and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

29.7 If:

(a) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(b) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment or transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under clause 12 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or clause 13 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment or transfer or change had not occurred.

Fee and expenses

29.8 The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment or transfer takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of $5,000. No Obligor shall be responsible for any cost and expenses (whether legal fees or otherwise) associated with any assignment or transfer by a Lender of its rights under this Agreement.

Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lender

29.9 Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

(a) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

(b) the financial condition of any Obligor;

(c) the performance and observance by any Obligor or any other person of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents;

(d) the application of any Basel II Regulation or Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents; or

(e) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

(a) and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

102

29.10 Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

(a) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of :

(i) the financial condition and affairs of the Obligors and their related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement; and

(ii) the application of any Basel II Regulation or Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents;

and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender or any other Finance Party in connection with any Finance Document;

(b) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the application of any Basel II Regulation or Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents; and

(c) will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Obligor and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

29.11 Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(a) accept a re-assignment or re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights assigned or transferred under this clause 29 (Changes to the Lenders); or

(b) support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of the application of any Basel II Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or otherwise.

Procedure for assignment

29.12 Subject to the conditions set out in clauses 29.2 to 29.5 (Conditions of assignment) an assignment may be effected in accordance with clause 29.15 below when (a) the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate and (b) the Agent executes any document required under clause 29.4 which it may be necessary for it to execute in each case delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender duly executed by them and, in the case of any such other document, any other relevant person. The Agent shall, subject to clause 29.13, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a Transfer Certificate and any such other document each duly completed, appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate and such other document.

29.13 The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New 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 assignment to such New Lender.

29.14 Subject to the Borrower providing its consent under clause 29.2 (Conditions of assignment) if required, the Obligors and the other Finance Parties irrevocably authorise the Agent to execute any Transfer Certificate on their behalf without any consultations with them.

29.15 On the Transfer Date:

(a) the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender the rights under the Finance Documents expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Transfer Certificate;

103

(b) the Existing Lender will be released by each Obligor and the other Finance Parties from the obligations owed by it (the Relevant Obligations) and expressed to be the subject of the release in the Transfer Certificate (but the obligations owed by the Obligors under the Finance Documents shall not be released); and

(c) the New Lender shall become a Party to the Finance Documents as a “Lender” for the purposes of all the Finance Documents and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

29.16 Xxxxxxx may utilise procedures other than those set out in clauses 29.12 to 29.15 (Procedure for assignment) to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or unless in accordance with clauses 29.12 to 29.15 (Procedure for assignment) to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in clauses 29.2 to 29.5 (Conditions of assignment).

Procedure for transfer

29.17

(a) Subject to the conditions set out in clauses 29.2 to 29.5 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

(b) The Agent shall not be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender unless it is satisfied that it has completed all “know your customer” and other similar procedures that it is required (or deems desirable) to conduct in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

(c) On the Transfer Date:

(i) to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (being the Discharged Rights and Obligations);

(ii) each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

(iii) the Agent, the Arrangers, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Arranger and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

(iv) the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”.

104

(d) The procedure set out in this clause 29.17 shall not apply to any right or obligation under any Finance Document (other than this Agreement) if and to the extent its terms, or any laws or regulations applicable thereto, provide for or require a different means of transfer of such right or obligation or prohibit or restrict any transfer of such right or obligation, unless such prohibition or restriction shall not be applicable to the relevant transfer or each condition of any applicable restriction shall have been satisfied.

Copy of Transfer Certificate to Borrower

29.18 The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate and any other document required under clause 29.4, send a copy of that Transfer Certificate and such other documents to the Borrower.

Security over Lenders’ rights

29.19 In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this clause 29, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from an Obligor, at any time charge, pledge, assign or otherwise create a Security Interest in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:

(a) any charge, pledge, assignment or other Security Interest to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the European Central Bank) including, without limitation, any assignment of rights to a special purpose vehicle where Security over securities issued by such special purpose vehicle is to be created in favour of a federal reserve or central bank (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the European Central Bank); and

(b) in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, pledge, assignment or other Security Interest granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, pledge, assignment or Security Interest shall:

(A) release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, pledge, assignment or Security Interest for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

(B) require any payments to be made by an Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

30 Changes to the Obligors

30.1 No Obligor may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents (other than the Hedging Contracts or any Hedging Master Agreement (unless prohibited in those documents)).

105

31.5 Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any other Lender or group of Lenders under the relevant Finance Document and unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any instructions given to the Agent by the Majority Lenders shall override any conflicting instructions given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Finance Parties save for the Security Agent.

31.6 The Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of any Lender or group of Lenders until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its discretion require (which may be greater in extent than that contained in the Finance Documents and which may include payment in advance) for any cost, loss or liability which it may incur in complying with those instructions.

31.7 In the absence of instructions, the Agent may act (or refrain from acting) as it considers to be in the best interest of the Lenders.

Duties of the Agent

31.16 Except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, the Arrangers have no obligations of any kind to any other Party under or in connection with any Finance Document or the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents.

No fiduciary duties

31.18 None of the Agent, the Security Agent or any Arranger shall be bound to account to any Lender or any Hedging Provider for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account or have any obligations to the other Finance Parties beyond those expressly stated in the Finance Documents.

31.19 The Agent, the Security Agent and any Arranger may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with any Obligor or their Affiliates.

Rights and discretions of the Agent

31.20 The Agent may

(a) rely on any representation, communication, notice or document believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised;

107

(b) assume that:

(i) any instructions received by it from the Majority Lenders, any Lenders or any group of Lenders are duly given in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents; and

(ii) unless it has received notice of revocation, that those instructions have not been revoked; and

(c) rely on a certificate from any person:

(i) as to any matter of fact or circumstance which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of that person; or

(ii) to the effect that such person approves of any particular dealing, transaction, step, action or thing,

as sufficient evidence that that is the case and, in the case of paragraph (i) above, may assume the truth and accuracy of that certificate.

31.21 The Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to the contrary in its capacity as agent for the other Finance Parties) that:

(a) no Default has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of a Default arising under clauses 28.2 (Non-payment));

(b) any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any Party or any group of Lenders has not been exercised; and

(c) any notice or request made by the Borrower (other than a Utilisation Request) is made on behalf of and with the consent and knowledge of all the Obligors.

31.22 The Agent may engage and pay for the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts in the conduct of its obligations and responsibilities under the Finance Documents.

31.23 Without prejudice to the generality of clause 31.22 or clause 31.24, the Agent may at any time engage and pay for the services of any lawyers to act as independent counsel to the Agent (and so separate from any lawyers instructed by the Lenders) if the Agent in its reasonable opinion deems this to be desirable.

(b) be bound to supervise, or be in any way responsible for any loss incurred by reason of misconduct, omission or default on the part, of any such person,

(b) unless such error or such loss was directly caused by the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

31.26 Unless a Finance Document expressly provides otherwise, the Agent may disclose to any other Party any information it reasonably believes it has received as agent under this Agreement.

108

31.27 Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, neither the Agent nor any Arranger is obliged to do or omit to do anything if it would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality. The Agent and any Arranger may do anything which in its opinion, is necessary or desirable to comply with any law or regulation of any jurisdiction.

31.28 Notwithstanding any provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

31.29 Neither the Agent nor any Arranger shall be obliged to request any certificate, opinion or other information under clause 19 (Information undertakings) unless so required in writing by a Lender or any Hedging Provider, in which case the Agent shall promptly make the appropriate request of the Borrower if such request would be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(a) whether or not any Default has occurred;

(b) as to the performance, default or any breach by any Party of its obligations under any Finance Document; or

110

31.34 The Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Finance Documents to be paid by the Agent if the Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Agent for that purpose.

31.35 Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Agent or any Arranger to carry out

(a) any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person; or

(b) any check on the extent to which any transaction contemplated by this Agreement might be unlawful for any Lender,

on behalf of any Lender or any Hedging Provider and each Lender and each Hedging Provider confirms to the Agent and the Arrangers that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or any Arranger.

31.36 Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the Agent’s liability, any liability of the Agent arising under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Charged Property shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been finally judicially determined to have been suffered (as determined by reference to the date of default of the Agent or, if later, the date on which the loss arises as a result of such default) but without reference to any special conditions or circumstances known to the Agent at any time which increase the amount of that loss. In no event shall the Agent be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not the Agent has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.

Lenders’ indemnity to the Agent

31.37 Each Term Lender shall (in proportion (if no part of any Term Loan is then outstanding) to its share of the Total Term Loan Facility Commitments or (at any other time) to its participation in the Term Loans) indemnify the Agent, within six (6) Business Days of demand, against:

(a) any Losses for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever incurred by such Xxxxxxx’ Representative in the circumstances contemplated pursuant to clause 35.20 (Disruption to payment systems etc) notwithstanding the Agent’s negligence, gross negligence, or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent); and

31.38 Subject to clause 31.39, the Borrower shall within six (6) Business Days of demand reimburse any Lender for any payment that Xxxxxx makes to the Agent pursuant to clause 31.37.

31.39 Clause 31.38 shall not apply to the extent that the indemnity payment in respect of which the Xxxxxx claims reimbursement relates to a liability of the Agent to an Obligor.

111

Resignation of the Agent

31.40 The Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates as successor by giving notice to the Lenders, each Hedging Provider, the Security Agent and the Borrower.

31.41 Alternatively the Agent may resign by giving notice to the other Finance Parties and obtaining the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld if the proposed new agent is to be the same legal entity as a Lender, will act out of Singapore and is a FATCA Exempt Party), in which case the Majority Lenders (after consultation with the Borrower) may appoint a successor Agent. The aforesaid consent of the Borrower shall not be required at any time when a Default is continuing.

31.42 If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in accordance with clause 31.41 above within twenty (20) days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Agent (after consultation with the Borrower and subject to the consent of the Borrower if required under clause 31.41 above) may appoint a successor Agent.

31.43 If the Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate for it to remain as agent and the Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Agent under clause 31.42, the Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Agent) agree with the proposed successor Agent amendments to this clause 31 and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees.

31.44 The retiring Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.

31.45 The Agent’s resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor.

31.46 The appointment of the successor Agent shall take effect on the date specified in the notice from the Majority Lenders to the retiring Agent. As from this date, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under clause 31.44) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of clause 14.4 (Indemnity to the Agent and the Security Agent) and this clause 31 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

Replacement of the Agent

31.47 After obtaining the prior consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld if the proposed new agent is to be the same legal entity as a Lender, will act out of Singapore and is a FATCA Exempt Party), the Majority Lenders may, by giving thirty (30) days’ notice to the Agent replace the Agent by appointing a successor Agent. The aforesaid consent of the Borrower shall not be required at any time when a Default is continuing.

31.48 The retiring Agent shall make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.

31.49 The appointment of the successor Agent shall take effect on the date specified in the notice from the Majority Lenders to the retiring Agent so long as, if required, the Borrower’s consent to the change of agent has been obtained. As from this date, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under clause 31.48) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of clause 14.4 (Indemnity to the Agent and the Security Agent) and this clause 31 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).

112

31.50 Any successor Agent and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

31.51 The Agent shall resign in accordance with clause 31.47 above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Agent pursuant to clause 31.47 above) if on or after the date which is three (3) months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Agent under the Finance Documents, either:

(a) the Agent fails to respond to a request under clause 12.28 to 12.31 (FATCA Information) and a Lender reasonably believes that the 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 Agent pursuant to Clause 12.28 to 12.31 (FATCA Information) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

(c) the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the 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 Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and that Xxxxxx, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign.

Confidentiality

31.52 In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, the Agent shall be regarded as acting through its department, division or team directly responsible for the management of the Finance Documents which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions, departments or teams.

31.53 If information is received by another division or department of the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.

31.54 Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, neither the Agent nor any Arranger is obliged to disclose to any other person (i) any Confidential Information or (ii) any other information if the disclosure would, or might in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty.

Relationship with the Lenders and Hedging Providers

31.55 The Agent may treat the person shown in its records as Lender or as Hedging Provider at the opening of business (in the place of the Agent’s principal office as notified to the Finance Parties from time to time) as the Lender or (as the case may be) a Hedging Provider acting through its Facility Office:

(a) entitled to or liable for any payment due under any Finance Document on that day; and

(b) entitled to receive and act upon any notice, request, document or communication or make any decision or determination under any Finance Document made or delivered on that day,

unless it has received not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice from that Lender or (as the case may be) a Hedging Provider to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

31.56 Any Lender or a Hedging Provider may by notice to the Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications, information and documents to be made or despatched to that Lender or (as the case may be) a Hedging Provider under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address, fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under clauses 37.9 to 37.11 (Electronic communication)) electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to be made) and be treated as a notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address, department and officer by that Lender or (as the case may be) a Hedging Provider for the purposes of clause 37.2 (Addresses) and clauses 37.9 to 37.11 (Electronic communication) and the Agent shall be entitled to treat such person as the person entitled to receive all such notices, communications, information and documents as though that person were that Lender or (as the case may be) a Hedging Provider.

113

31.57 Each Lender and each Hedging Provider shall supply the Agent with any information that the Agent may reasonably specify as being necessary or desirable to enable the Agent or the Security Agent to perform its functions as Agent or Security Agent.

31.58 Each Lender and each Hedging Provider shall deal with the Security Agent exclusively through the Agent and shall not deal directly with the Security Agent.

Credit appraisal by the Lenders and Hedging Providers

31.59 Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender and each Hedging Provider confirms to each other Finance Party that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to:

(a) the financial condition, status and nature of each Obligor and other Group Member;

(b) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document;

(c) the application of any Basel II Regulation or Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents;

(d) whether any Finance Party has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any Party or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Charged Property;

(e) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information provided by the Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; and

(f) the right or title of any person in or to, or the value or sufficiency of, any part of the Charged Property, the priority of the Security Documents or the existence of any Security Interest affecting the Charged Property.

Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent

31.60 If any Party owes an amount to the Agent under the Finance Documents the Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted.

114

Common parties

31.61 Although the Agent and the Security Agent may from time to time be the same entity, that entity will have entered into the Finance Documents (to which it is party) in its separate capacities as agent for the Finance Parties and (as appropriate) security agent and trustee for the Finance Parties. Where any Finance Document provides for the Agent or Security Agent to communicate with or provide instructions to the other, while they are the same entity, such communication or instructions will not be necessary.

Security Agent

31.62 Each other Finance Party appoints the Security Agent to act as its agent and (to the extent permitted under any applicable law) trustee under and in connection with the Security Documents and confirms that the Security Agent shall have a lien on the Security Documents and the proceeds of the enforcement of those Security Documents for all moneys payable to the beneficiaries of those Security Documents.

31.63 Each other Finance Party authorises the Security Agent:

(a) to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Security Agent under or in connection with the Finance Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions; and

(b) to execute each of the Security Documents and all other documents that may be approved by the Agent and/or the Majority Lenders for execution by it.

31.64 The Security Agent accepts its appointment under clause 31.62 (Security Agent) as trustee of the Trust Property with effect from the date of this Agreement and declares that it holds the Trust Property on trust for itself, the other Finance Parties (for so long as they are Finance Parties) on and subject to the terms set out in clauses 31.62 - 31.81 (inclusive) and the Security Documents to which it is a party.

Application of certain clauses to Security Agent

31.66 In addition, clauses 31.40 to 31.46 (Resignation of the Agent) and clauses 31.47 to 31.51 shall, for the purposes of their application to the Security Agent pursuant to clause 31.65, have the following additional clause inserted after them:

At any time after the appointment of a successor, the retiring Security Agent shall do and execute all acts, deeds and documents reasonably required by its successor to transfer to it (or its nominee, as it may direct) any property, assets and rights previously vested in the retiring Security Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and which shall not have vested in its successor by operation of law. All such acts, deeds and documents shall be done or, as the case may be, executed at the cost of the retiring Security Agent (except where the Security Agent is retiring under clause 31.47 as extended to it by clause 31.65, in which case such costs shall be borne by the Term Lenders (in proportion (if no Term Loan is then outstanding) to their shares of the Total Term Loan Facility Commitments or (at any other time prior to the repayment or prepayment in full of the Term Loan) to their participations in the Term Loan or, after the repayment or prepayment in full of the Term Loan, by the RCF Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Credit Facility Commitments).

115

Instructions to Security Agent

31.67 The Security Agent shall:

(a) unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Security Agent in accordance with any instructions given to it by the Agent; and

(b) not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with paragraph (a) above.

31.68 The Security Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the Agent as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion and the Security Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives those instructions or that clarification.

31.69 Unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any instructions given to the Security Agent by the Agent shall override any conflicting instructions given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Finance Parties.

31.70 The Security Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of the Agent until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its discretion require (which may be greater in extent than that contained in the Finance Documents and which may include payment in advance) for any cost, loss or liability which it may incur in complying with those instructions.

31.71 In the absence of instructions, the Security Agent may act (or refrain from acting) as it considers to be in the best interest of the Lenders.

31.72 The Security Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender (without first obtaining that Xxxxxx’s consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to any Finance Document. This clause 31.72 shall not apply to any legal or arbitration proceeding relating to the perfection, preservation or protection of rights under the Security Documents or enforcement of the Security Documents.

Order of application

31.73 The Security Agent agrees to apply the Trust Property and each other beneficiary of the Security Documents agrees to apply all moneys received by it in the exercise of its rights under the Security Documents in accordance with the following respective claims:

(a) first, as to a sum equivalent to the amounts payable to the Security Agent under the Finance Documents (excluding any amounts received by the Security Agent pursuant to clauses 31.37 to 31.39 (Xxxxxxx’ indemnity to the Agent) as extended to the Security Agent pursuant to clause 31.65 (Application of certain clauses to Security Agent)), for the Security Agent absolutely;

(b) secondly, as to a sum equivalent to the aggregate amount then due and owing to the other Finance Parties under the Finance Documents, for those Finance Parties absolutely for application between them in accordance with clauses 35.8 to 35.10 (Partial payments);

(c) thirdly, until such time as the Security Agent is satisfied that all obligations owed to the Finance Parties have been irrevocably and unconditionally discharged in full, held by the Security Agent on a suspense account for payment of any further amounts owing to the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents and further application in accordance with this clause 31.73 as and when any such amounts later fall due;

116

(d) fourthly, to such other persons (if any) as are legally entitled thereto in priority to the Obligors; and

(e) fifthly, as to the balance (if any), for the Obligors by or from whom or from whose assets the relevant amounts were paid, received or recovered or other person entitled to them.

31.74 The Security Agent and each other beneficiary of the Security Documents shall make each application as soon as is practicable after the relevant moneys are received by, or otherwise become available to, it save that (without prejudice to any other provision contained in any of the Security Documents) the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Agent) and any other beneficiary of the Security Documents or any receiver or administrator may credit any moneys received by it to a suspense account for so long and in such manner as the Security Agent), any other beneficiary of the Security Documents or such receiver or administrator may from time to time determine with a view to preserving the rights of the Finance Parties or any of them to prove for the whole of their respective claims against the Borrower or any other person liable.

31.75 The Security Agent and/or any other beneficiary of the Security Documents shall obtain a good discharge in respect of the amounts expressed to be due to the other Finance Parties as referred to in clauses 31.73 and 31.74 by paying such amounts to the Agent for distribution in accordance with clause 35 (Payment mechanics).

Powers and duties of the Security Agent as trustee of the security

31.76 In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Trust Property, the Security Agent:

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

(b) shall (subject to clause 31.73 (Order of application)) be entitled (in its own name or in the names of nominees) to invest moneys from time to time forming part of the Trust Property or otherwise held by it as a consequence of any enforcement of the security constituted by any Finance Document which, in the reasonable opinion of the Security Agent, it would not be practicable to distribute immediately, by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Security Agent as the Security Agent may think fit without being under any duty to diversify the same and the Security Agent shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate or exchange rate fluctuations except for any loss arising from the Security Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct;

(c) may, in the conduct of its obligations under and in respect of the Security Documents (otherwise than in relation to its right to make any declaration, determination or decision), instead of acting personally, employ and pay any agent (whether being a lawyer or any other person) to transact or concur in transacting any business and to do or concur in doing any acts required to be done by the Security Agent (including the receipt and payment of money) and on the basis that (i) any such agent engaged in any profession or business shall be entitled to be paid all usual professional and other charges for business transacted and acts done by him or any partner or employee of his or her in connection with such employment and (ii) the Security Agent shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such agent if the Security Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such agent; and

117

(d) may place all deeds and other documents relating to the Trust Property which are from time to time deposited with it pursuant to the Security Documents in any safe deposit, safe or receptacle selected by the Security Agent exercising reasonable care or with any firm of solicitors or company whose business includes undertaking the safe custody of documents selected by the Security Agent exercising reasonable care and may make any such arrangements as it thinks fit for allowing Obligors access to, or its solicitors or auditors possession of, such documents when necessary or convenient and the Security Agent shall not be responsible for any loss incurred in connection with any such deposit, access or possession if it has exercised reasonable care in the selection of a safe deposit, safe, receptacle or firm of solicitors or company (save that it shall take reasonable steps to pursue any person who may be liable to it in connection with such loss).

All enforcement action through the Security Agent

31.77 None of the other Finance Parties shall have any independent power to enforce any of those Security Documents which are executed in favour of the Security Agent only or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to such Security Documents or otherwise have direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by such Security Documents except through the Security Agent.

31.78 None of the other Finance Parties shall have any independent power to enforce any of those Security Documents which are executed in their favour or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to such Security Documents or otherwise have direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by such Security Documents except through the Security Agent. If any Finance Party (other than the Security Agent) is a party to any Security Document it shall promptly upon being requested by the Agent to do so grant a power of attorney or other sufficient authority to the Security Agent to enable the Security Agent to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under such Security Document.

Co-operation to achieve agreed priorities of application

31.79 The other Finance Parties shall co-operate with each other and with the Security Agent and any receiver or administrator under the Security Documents in realising the property and assets subject to the Security Documents and in ensuring that the net proceeds realised under the Security Documents after deduction of the expenses of realisation are applied in accordance with clause 31.73 (Order of application).

Indemnity from Trust Property

31.80 In respect of all liabilities, costs or expenses for which the Obligors are liable under this Agreement, the Security Agent and each Affiliate of the Security Agent and each officer or employee of the Security Agent or its Affiliate (each a Relevant Person) shall be entitled to be indemnified out of the Trust Property in respect of all liabilities, damages, costs, claims, charges or expenses whatsoever properly incurred or suffered by such Relevant Person:

(a) in the execution or exercise or bona fide purported execution or exercise of the trusts, rights, powers, authorities, discretions and duties created or conferred by or pursuant to the Finance Documents;

(b) as a result of any breach by an Obligor of any of its obligations under any Finance Document;

(c) in respect of any Environmental Claim made or asserted against a Relevant Person which would not have arisen if the Finance Documents had not been executed; and

(d) in respect of any matter or thing done or omitted in any way in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents relating to the Trust Property or the provisions of any of the Finance Documents.

118

31.81 The rights conferred by clause 31.80 are without prejudice to any right to indemnity by law given to trustees generally and to any provision of the Finance Documents entitling the Security Agent or any other person to an indemnity in respect of, and/or reimbursement of, any liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by it in connection with any of the Finance Documents or the performance of any duties under any of the Finance Documents. Nothing contained in clause 31.80 shall entitle the Security Agent or any other person to be indemnified in respect of any liabilities, damages, costs, claims, charges or expenses to the extent that the same arise from such person’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Finance Parties to provide information

31.82 The other Finance Parties shall provide the Security Agent with such written information as it may reasonably require for the purposes of carrying out its duties and obligations under the Security Documents and, in particular, with such necessary directions in writing so as to enable the Security Agent to make the calculations and applications contemplated by clause 31.73 (Order of application) above and to apply amounts received under, and the proceeds of realisation of, the Security Documents as contemplated by the Security Documents, clauses 35.8 to 35.10 (Partial payments) and clause 31.73 (Order of application).

Release to facilitate enforcement and realisation

31.83 Each Finance Party acknowledges that pursuant to any enforcement action by the Security Agent (or a Receiver) carried out on the instructions of the Agent it may be desirable for the purpose of such enforcement and/or maximising the realisation of the Charged Property being enforced against, that any rights or claims of or by the Security Agent (for the benefit of the Finance Parties) and/or any Finance Parties against any Obligor and/or any Security Interest over any assets of any Obligor (in each case) as contained in or created by any Finance Document, other than such rights or claims or security being enforced, be released in order to facilitate such enforcement action and/or realisation and, notwithstanding any other provision of the Finance Documents, each Finance Party hereby irrevocably authorises the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Agent) to grant any such releases to the extent necessary to fully effect such enforcement action and realisation including, without limitation, to the extent necessary for such purposes to execute release documents in the name of and on behalf of the Finance Parties.

Undertaking to pay

31.84 Each Obligor which is a Party undertakes with the Security Agent on behalf of the Finance Parties that it will, within six (6) Business Days of demand by the Security Agent, pay to the Security Agent all money from time to time owing, and discharge all other obligations from time to time incurred, by it under or in connection with the Finance Documents.

Additional trustees

31.85 The Security Agent shall have power by notice in writing to the other Finance Parties and the Borrower to appoint any person approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) either to act as separate trustee or as co-trustee jointly with the Security Agent:

(a) if the Security Agent reasonably considers such appointment to be in the best interests of the Finance Parties;

(b) 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

(c) 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 (including as to reasonable remuneration), powers, duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Security Agent shall have power to remove any person so appointed. At the request of the Security Agent, the other parties to this Agreement 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 Security Agent in its name and on its behalf to do the same. Such a person shall accede to this Agreement as a Security Agent to the extent necessary to carry out their role on terms satisfactory to the Security Agent and (subject always to the provisions of this Agreement) have such trusts, powers, authorities, liabilities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Security Agent by this Agreement and the other Finance 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 Security Agent but for the appointment). The Security Agent 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 Security Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such person.

119

Non-recognition of trust

31.86 It is agreed by all the parties to this Agreement that:

31.87 in relation to any jurisdiction the courts of which would not recognise or give effect to the trusts expressed to be constituted by this clause 31, the relationship of the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties shall be construed as one of principal and agent, but to the extent permissible under the laws of such jurisdiction, all the other provisions of this Agreement shall have full force and effect between the parties to this Agreement; and

31.88 the provisions of this clause 31 insofar as they relate to the Security Agent in its capacity as trustee for the Finance Parties and the relationship between themselves and the Security Agent as their trustee may be amended by agreement between the other Finance Parties and the Security Agent. The Security Agent may amend all documents necessary to effect the alteration of the relationship between the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties and each such other party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent in its name and on its behalf to execute all documents necessary to effect such amendments.

32 Conduct of business by the Finance Parties

Finance Parties tax affairs

32.1 No provision of this Agreement will:

(a) interfere with the right of any Finance Party to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit;

(b) oblige any Finance Party to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or

(c) oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.

Finance Parties acting together

32.2 Notwithstanding clauses 2.2 to 2.4 (Finance Parties’ rights and obligations), if the Agent makes a declaration under clause 28.43 (Acceleration) the Agent shall, in the names of all the Finance Parties, take such action on behalf of the Finance Parties and conduct such negotiations with the Borrower and any other Obligor and generally administer the Facilities in accordance with the wishes of the Majority Lenders. All the Finance Parties shall be bound by the provisions of this clause and no Finance Party shall be entitled to take action independently against any Obligor or any of its assets without the prior consent of the Majority Lenders.

32.3 Clause 32.2 shall not override clause 31 (Roles of Agent, Security Agent and Arranger) as it applies to the Security Agent.

120

Majority Lenders

32.4 Where any Finance Document provides for any matter to be determined by reference to the opinion of, or to be subject to the consent, approval or request of, the Majority Lenders or for any action to be taken on the instructions of the Majority Lenders (a majority decision), such majority decision shall (as between the Lenders) only be regarded as having been validly given or issued by the Majority Lenders if all the Lenders shall have received prior notice of the matter on which such majority decision is required and the relevant majority of Lenders shall have given or issued such majority decision. However (as between any Obligor and the Finance Parties) the relevant Obligor shall be entitled (and bound) to assume that such notice shall have been duly received by each Lender and that the relevant majority shall have been obtained to constitute Majority Lenders when notified to this effect by the Agent whether or not this is the case.

32.5 If, within ten (10) Business Days of the Agent despatching to each Lender a notice requesting instructions (or confirmation of instructions) from the Lenders or the agreement of the Lenders to any amendment, modification, waiver, variation or excuse of performance for the purposes of, or in relation to, any of the Finance Documents, the Agent has not received a reply specifically giving or confirming or refusing to give or confirm the relevant instructions or, as the case may be, approving or refusing to approve the proposed amendment, modification, waiver, variation or excuse of performance, then (irrespective of whether such Xxxxxx responds at a later date) the Agent shall treat any Lender which has not so responded as having indicated a desire to be bound by the wishes of sixty six and two thirds per cent (66⅔) of those Lenders (measured in terms of the Total Commitments of those Lenders) which have so responded.

32.6 For the purposes of clause 32.5, any Lender which notifies the Agent of a wish or intention to abstain on any particular issue shall be treated as if it had not responded.

32.7 Clauses 32.5 and 32.6 shall not apply in relation to those matters referred to in, or the subject of, clauses 33.5 and 33.6 (Exceptions).

Conflicts

32.8 The Borrower acknowledges that any Arranger and its parent undertaking, subsidiary undertakings and fellow subsidiary undertakings (together an Arranger Group) may be providing debt finance, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other persons with which the Borrower may have conflicting interests in respect of the Facilities or otherwise.

32.9 No member of an Arranger Group shall use Confidential Information gained from any Obligor by virtue of the Facilities or its relationships with any Obligor in connection with their performance of services for other persons. This shall not, however, affect any obligations that any member of an Arranger Group has as Agent in respect of the Finance Documents. The Borrower also acknowledges that no member of an Arranger Group has any obligation to use or furnish to any Obligor information obtained from other persons for their benefit.

32.10 The terms parent undertaking, subsidiary undertaking and fellow subsidiary undertaking when used in this clause have the meaning given to them in sections 1161 and 1162 of the Companies Act 2006.

33 Sharing among the Finance Parties

Payments to Finance Parties

33.1 If a Finance Party (a Recovering Finance Party) receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with clause 35 (Payment mechanics) (a Recovered Amount) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

(a) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the Agent;

121

(b) the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with clause 35 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(c) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the Sharing Payment) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with clauses 35.8 to 35.10 (Partial payments).

This clause 33.1 does not apply to any Recovered Amount to the extent that such Recovered Amount constitutes due payments owing and payable by the Borrower to a Hedging Provider under a relevant Hedging Contract (unless such amounts have not been paid to and received by a Hedging Provider in accordance with the Finance Documents, in which case, clause 33.1 would apply to such amount received by that Hedging Provider).

Redistribution of payments

33.2 The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the Sharing Finance Parties) in accordance with clauses 35.8 to 35.10 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of that Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties.

Recovering Finance Party’s rights

33.3 On a distribution by the Agent under clause 33.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor, as between the relevant Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

Reversal of redistribution

33.4 If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:

(a) each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay) (the Redistributed Amount); and

(b) as between the relevant Obligor and each relevant Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

Exceptions

33.5 This clause 33 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

33.6 A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

(a) it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings;

122

(b) the taking legal or arbitration proceedings was in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

(c) that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

34 Position of Hedging Providers

Rights of Hedging Providers

34.1 Each Hedging Provider (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Third Party Hedging Provider) is a Finance Party and as such, will be entitled to share in the security constituted by the Security Documents in respect of any liabilities of the Borrower under the Hedging Contracts with such Hedging Provider in the manner and to the extent contemplated by the Finance Documents.

No voting rights

34.2 No Hedging Provider shall be entitled to vote on any matter where a decision of the Lenders alone is required under this Agreement, whether before or after the termination or close out of the Hedging Contracts with such Hedging Provider, provided that each Hedging Provider shall be entitled to vote on any matter where a decision of all the Finance Parties is expressly required.

Acceleration and enforcement of security

34.3 Neither the Agent nor the Security Agent or any other beneficiary of the Security Documents shall be obliged, in connection with any action taken or proposed to be taken under or pursuant to clause 28 (Events of Default) or pursuant to the other Finance Documents, to have any regard to the requirements of the Hedging Providers except to the extent that the relevant Hedging Provider is also a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender.

123

Section 11 - Administration

35 Payment mechanics
