(b) In relation to a Master Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees and undertakes with the Agent, the Security Trustee and the Lenders throughout the Security Period:

Each Swap Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, to match the most competitive swap quote and share in such swap pro-rata to its share of the Total Commitments.

If a Ship is sold, the Borrower may pledge the sale proceeds to the Lenders for a maximum period of 3 months as an alternative to prepayment or cancellation of the Term Loan provided that (a) the amount of cash collateral shall be sufficient to ensure that the ratio of (i) the value of the Ships subject to a Mortgage plus the amount of the cash collateral to (ii) the aggregate of the Term Loan, the Revolving Loan outstanding and the Swap Exposure shall not result in a breach of the loan to value ratio set out in Clause 15.1 and (b) the Lenders have an irrevocable right of set-off of the cash collateral against

the Term Loan and Revolving Credit. During such 3 month period the Borrower shall have the option to provide alternative security, including a substitute ship, acceptable to the Lenders on the terms set out in this Agreement and failing that, at the end of any such 3 month period, the Borrower shall be obliged to prepay the relevant proportion of the aggregate outstanding amount of the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan in accordance with Clause 8.9.

(ii) secondly, in or towards satisfaction pro rata of any and all amounts of interest or default interest payable to the Creditor Parties under the Finance Documents and any Master Agreement (and amounts in relation to the Master Agreements shall be applied pro-rata) (and, for this purpose, the expression “interest” shall include any net amount which the Borrower shall have become liable to pay or deliver under section 2(e) (Obligations) of that Master Agreement but shall have failed to pay or deliver to the relevant Swap Bank at the time of application or distribution under this Clause 17); and

(iii) thirdly, in or towards satisfaction pro rata of the Term Loan, the Revolving Loan and the Swap Exposure (in the case of the latter, calculated as at the actual Early Termination Date applying to each particular Transaction, or if no such Early Termination Date shall have occurred, calculated as if an Early Termination Date occurred on the date of application or distribution hereunder);

(b) SECONDLY: in retention of an amount equal to any amount not then due and payable under any Finance Document or any Master Agreement but which the Agent, by notice to the Borrower, the Security Parties and the other Creditor Parties, states in its opinion will either or may become due and payable in the future and, upon those amounts becoming due and payable, in or towards satisfaction of them in accordance with the provisions of Clause 17.1(a); and

17.2 Variation of order of application. The Agent may, with the authorisation of all Lenders and the Swap Banks, by notice to the Borrower, the Security Parties and the other Creditor Parties provide for a different manner of application from that set out in Clause 17.1 (other than sub-clause (a)) either as regards a specified sum or sums or as regards sums in a specified category or categories.

17.3 Notice of variation of order of application. The Agent may give notices under Clause 17.2 from time to time; and such a notice may be stated to apply not only to sums which may be received or recovered in the future, but also to any sum which has been received or recovered on or after the third Business Day before the date on which the notice is served.

17.4 Appropriation rights overridden. This Clause 17 and any notice which the Agent gives under Clause 17.2 shall override any right of appropriation possessed, and any appropriation made, by the Borrower or any Security Party.

18 APPLICATION OF EARNINGS; SWAP PAYMENTS

18.1 Payment of Earnings and swap payments. The Borrower undertakes with each Creditor Party to ensure that, throughout the Security Period (and subject only to the provisions of the General Assignment):

(a) all the Earnings in relation to a Ship are paid to the Operating Account for that Ship; and

(b) all payments by a Swap Bank to the Borrower under each Designated Transaction are paid to the Retention Account.

18.2 Monthly retentions. The Borrower undertakes with each Creditor Party to ensure that, in each calendar month of the Security Period on such dates as the Agent may from time to time specify, there is transferred to the Retention Account out of the Earnings received in the Operating Accounts during the preceding calendar month:

(a) one-third of the amount of the repayment instalment falling due under Clause 8 on the next Term Repayment Date; and

(b) the relevant fraction of the aggregate amount of interest on the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility which is payable on the next due date for payment of interest under this Agreement.

The “relevant fraction” is a fraction of which the numerator is 1 and the denominator the number of months comprised in the then current Interest Period (or, if the period is shorter, the number of months from the later of the commencement of the current Interest Period or the last due date for payment of interest to the next due date for payment of interest under this Agreement).

18.3 Shortfall in Earnings. If the aggregate Earnings received in the Operating Accounts are insufficient in any month for the required amount to be transferred to the Retention Account under Clause 18.2, the Borrower shall make up the amount of the insufficiency on demand from the Agent; but, without thereby prejudicing the Agent’s right to make such demand at any time, the Agent may, if so authorised by the Majority Lenders, permit the Borrower to make up all or part of the insufficiency by increasing the amount of any transfer under Clause 18.2 from the Earnings received in the next or subsequent months.

18.4 Application of retentions. Until an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default occurs, the Agent shall on each Term Repayment Date and on each due date for the payment of interest under this Agreement distribute to the Lenders in accordance with Clause 16.4 so much of the then balance on the Retention Account as equals:

(a) the repayment instalment due on that Term Repayment Date; or

(b) the amount of interest payable on that interest payment date,

in discharge of the Borrower’s liability for that repayment instalment or that interest.

18.5 Interest accrued on Retention Account. Any credit balance on the Retention Account shall bear interest at the rate from time to time offered by the Agent to its customers for Dollar deposits of similar amounts and for periods similar to those for which such balances appear to the Agent likely to remain on the Retention Account.

18.6 No release of accrued interest. Interest accruing under Clause 18.5 shall be credited to the Retention Account but shall not be released to the Borrower until the end of the Security Period unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Agent.

18.7 Location of accounts. The Borrower shall promptly:

(a) comply with any requirement of the Agent as to the location or re-location of the Operating Accounts and the Retention Account (or any of them); and

(b) execute any documents which the Agent specifies to create or maintain in favour of the Security Trustee a Security Interest over (and/or rights of set-off, consolidation or other rights in relation to) the Operating Accounts and the Retention Account.

18.8 Debits for expenses etc. The Agent shall be entitled (but not obliged) from time to time to debit any Operating Account or the Retention Account without prior notice in order to discharge any amount due and payable under Clause 20 or 21 to a Creditor Party or payment of which any Creditor Party has become entitled to demand under Clause or 20 or 21.

18.9 Borrower’s obligations unaffected. The provisions of this Clause 18 (as distinct from a distribution effected under Clause 18.4) do not affect:

(a) the liability of the Borrower to make payments of principal and interest on the due dates; or

(b) any other liability or obligation of the Borrower or any Security Party under any Finance Document.

19.2 Actions following an Event of Default. On, or at any time after, the occurrence of an Event of Default:

(a) the Agent may, and if so instructed by the Majority Lenders, the Agent shall:

(i) serve on the Borrower a notice stating that the Term Commitments, the Revolving Commitments and all other obligations of each Lender to the Borrower under this Agreement are terminated; and/or

The Agent may serve notices under Clauses 19.2(a)(i) and (ii) simultaneously or on different dates and it and/or the Security Trustee may take any action referred to in Clause 19.2 if no such notice is served or simultaneously with or at any time after the service of both or either of such notices.

19.6 Notification of Creditor Parties and Security Parties. The Agent shall send to each Lender, the Swap Banks, the Security Trustee and each Security Party a copy or the text of any notice which the Agent serves on the Borrower under Clause 19.2; but the notice shall become effective when it is served on the Borrower, and no failure or delay by the

Agent to send a copy or the text of the notice to any other person shall invalidate the notice or provide the Borrower or any Security Party with any form of claim or defence.

19.7 Creditor Party rights unimpaired.

19.8 Exclusion of Creditor Party liability. No Creditor Party, and no receiver or manager appointed by the Security Trustee, shall have any liability to the Borrower or a Security Party:

(a) for any loss caused by an exercise of rights under, or enforcement of a Security Interest created by, a Finance Document or by any failure or delay to exercise such a right or to enforce such a Security Interest; or

(b) as mortgagee in possession or otherwise, for any income or principal amount which might have been produced by or realised from any asset comprised in such a Security Interest or for any reduction (however caused) in the value of such an asset;

except that this does not exempt a Creditor Party or a receiver or manager from liability for losses shown to have been directly and mainly caused by the dishonesty or the wilful misconduct of such Creditor Party’s own officers and employees or (as the case may be) such receiver’s or manager’s own partners or employees.

In no event shall any Creditor Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favour.

20.4 Documentary taxes. The Borrower shall promptly pay any tax payable on or by reference to any Finance Document, and shall, on the Agent’s demand, fully indemnify each Creditor Party against any claims, expenses, liabilities and losses resulting from any failure or delay by the Borrower to pay such a tax.

20.5 Certification of amounts. A notice which is signed by 2 officers of a Creditor Party, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Creditor Party under this Clause 20 and which indicates (without necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of which the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall be prima facie evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due.

21 INDEMNITIES

21.1 Indemnities regarding borrowing and repayment of Term Loan and Revolving Loan. The Borrower shall fully indemnify the Agent and each Lender on the Agent’s

demand and the Security Trustee on its demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are made or brought against or incurred by that Creditor Party, or which that Creditor Party reasonably and with due diligence estimates that it will incur, as a result of or in connection with:

(a) a Term Advance or a Revolving Advance not being borrowed on the date specified in the relevant Drawdown Notice for any reason other than a default by the Lender claiming the indemnity;

(b) the receipt or recovery of all or any part of the Term Loan or the Revolving Loan or an overdue sum otherwise than on the last day of the applicable Term Interest Period, the applicable Revolving Interest Period or other relevant period;

(c) any failure (for whatever reason) by the Borrower to make payment of any amount due under a Finance Document on the due date or, if so payable, on demand (after giving credit for any default interest paid by the Borrower on the amount concerned under Clause 7);

(d) the occurrence and/or continuance of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default and/or the acceleration of repayment of the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan under Clause 19;

and in respect of any tax (other than tax on its overall net income) for which a Creditor Party is liable in connection with any amount paid or payable to that Creditor Party (whether for its own account or otherwise) under any Finance Document.

21.2 Breakage costs. Without limiting its generality, Clause 21.1 covers any claim, liability, expense or loss incurred by a Lender in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired or arranged to fund or maintain all or any part of its Term Contribution and/or its Revolving Contribution and/or any overdue amount (or an aggregate amount which includes its Term Contribution, its Revolving Contribution or any overdue amount).

21.3 Miscellaneous indemnities. The Borrower shall fully indemnify each Creditor Party severally on their respective demands in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which may be made or brought against or incurred by a Creditor Party, in any country, as a result of or in connection with:

(b) any other Pertinent Matter;

other than claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are shown to have been directly or mainly caused by the dishonesty or wilful misconduct of the officers or employees of the Creditor Party concerned.

Without prejudice to its generality, this Clause 21.3 covers any claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which arise, or are asserted, under or in connection with any law relating to safety at sea, the ISM Code, the ISPS Code or any Environmental Law.

21.4 Currency indemnity. If any sum due from the Borrower or any Security Party to a Creditor Party under a Finance Document or under any order or judgment relating to a Finance Document has to be converted from the currency in which the Finance Document provided for the sum to be paid (the “Contractual Currency”) into another currency (the “Payment Currency”) for the purpose of:

(a) making or lodging any claim or proof against the Borrower or any Security Party, whether in its liquidation, any arrangement involving it or otherwise; or

(b) obtaining an order or judgment from any court or other tribunal; or

the Borrower shall indemnify the Creditor Party concerned against the loss arising when the amount of the payment actually received by that Creditor Party is converted at the available rate of exchange into the Contractual Currency.

In this Clause 21.4, the “available rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Creditor Party concerned is able at the opening of business (London time) on the Business Day after it receives the sum concerned to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency.

This Clause 21.4 creates a separate liability of the Borrower which is distinct from its other liabilities under the Finance Documents and which shall not be merged in any judgment or order relating to those other liabilities.

21.5 Application to Master Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 21.4 does not apply in respect of sums due from the Borrower to a Swap Bank under or in connection with a Master Agreement as to which sums the provisions of section 8 (Contractual Currency) of that Master Agreement shall apply.

21.6 Certification of amounts. A notice which is signed by 2 officers of a Creditor Party, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Creditor Party under this Clause 21 and which indicates (without necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of which the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall be prima facie evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due.

21.7 Sums deemed due to a Lender. For the purposes of this Clause 21, a sum payable by the Borrower to the Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender.

22 NO SET-OFF OR TAX DEDUCTION

22.1 No deductions. All amounts due from the Borrower under a Finance Document shall be paid:

(a) without any form of set-off, cross-claim or condition; and

(b) free and clear of any tax deduction except a tax deduction which the Borrower is required by law to make.

22.2 Grossing-up for taxes. Subject as provided in Clause 26.17, if the Borrower is required by law to make a tax deduction from any payment:

(a) the Borrower shall notify the Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement;

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

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

22.3 Evidence of payment of taxes. Promptly, and in any event within 1 month after making any tax deduction, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the Creditor Party entitled to the payment an original document (or certified copy thereof) satisfactory to that Creditor Party evidencing that the tax had been paid to the appropriate taxation authority and the Agent shall promptly forward such document to the Creditor Party entitled to the payment.

22.4 Exclusion of tax on overall net income. In this Clause 22 “tax deduction” means any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax except tax on a Creditor Party’s overall net income.

22.5 Tax credit. A Creditor Party which receives for its own account a repayment or credit in respect of tax on account of which the Borrower has made an increased payment under Clause 22.2 shall pay to the Borrower a sum equal to the proportion of the repayment or credit which that Creditor Party allocates to the amount due from the Borrower in respect of which the Borrower made the increased payment:

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

(b) nothing in this Clause 22.4 shall oblige a Creditor Party to arrange its tax affairs in any particular manner, to claim any type of relief, credit, allowance or deduction instead of, or in priority to, another or to make any such claim within any particular time;

(c) nothing in this Clause 22.4 shall oblige a Creditor Party to make a payment which would leave it in a worse position than it would have been in if the Borrower had not been required to make a tax deduction from a payment; and

(d) any allocation or determination made by a Creditor Party under or in connection with this Clause 22.4 shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the other Creditor Parties.

22.6 Application to Master Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 22 does not apply in respect of sums due from the Borrower to a Swap Bank under or in connection with a Master Agreement as to which sums the provisions of section 2(d) (Deduction or Withholding for Tax) of that Master Agreement shall apply.

23 ILLEGALITY, ETC

23.1 Illegality. This Clause 23 applies if a Lender (the “Notifying Lender”) notifies the Agent that it has become, or will with effect from a specified date, become:

(a) unlawful or prohibited as a result of the introduction of a new law, an amendment to an existing law or a change in the manner in which an existing law is or will be interpreted or applied; or

(b) contrary to, or inconsistent with, any regulation,

for the Notifying Lender to maintain or give effect to any of its obligations under this Agreement in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

23.2 Notification of illegality. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, the Security Parties, the Security Trustee and the other Lenders of the notice under Clause 23.1 which the Agent receives from the Notifying Lender.

23.3 Prepayment; termination of Term Commitment and Revolving Commitment. On the Agent notifying the Borrower under Clause 23.2, the Notifying Lender’s Term Commitment and Revolving Commitment shall terminate; and thereupon or, if later, on the date specified in the Notifying Lender’s notice under Clause 23.1 as the date on which the notified event would become effective the Borrower shall prepay the Notifying Lender’s Term Contribution and Revolving Contribution in accordance with Clause 8.

23.4 Mitigation. If circumstances arise which would result in a notification under Clause 23.1 then, without in any way limiting the rights of the Notifying Lender under Clause 23.3, the Notifying Lender shall use reasonable endeavours to transfer its obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement and the Finance Documents to another office or financial institution not affected by the circumstances but the Notifying Lender shall not be under any obligation to take any such action if, in its opinion, to do would or might:

(a) have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition; or

(b) involve it in any activity which is unlawful or prohibited or any activity that is contrary to, or inconsistent with, any regulation; or

24 INCREASED COSTS

24.1 Increased costs. This Clause 24 applies if a Lender (the “Notifying Lender”) notifies the Agent that the Notifying Lender considers that as a result of:

(a) the introduction or alteration after the date of this Agreement of a law or an alteration after the date of this Agreement in the manner in which a law is interpreted or applied (disregarding any effect which relates to the application to payments under this Agreement of a tax on the Lender’s overall net income); or

(b) complying with any regulation (including any which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which the Notifying Lender allocates capital resources to its obligations under this Agreement) which is introduced, or altered, or the interpretation or application of which is altered, after the date of this Agreement,

the Notifying Lender (or a parent company of it) has incurred or will incur an “increased cost”.

24.2 Meaning of “increased cost”. In this Clause 24, “increased cost” means, in relation to a Notifying Lender:

(a) an additional or increased cost incurred as a result of, or in connection with, the Notifying Lender having entered into, or being a party to, this Agreement or a Transfer Certificate, of funding or maintaining its Term Commitment, Revolving Commitment, Term Contribution or Revolving Contribution or performing its obligations under this Agreement, or of having outstanding all or any part of its Term Contribution, Revolving Contribution or other unpaid sums;

(b) a reduction in the amount of any payment to the Notifying Lender under this Agreement or in the effective return which such a payment represents to the Notifying Lender or on its capital;

(c) an additional or increased cost of funding all or maintaining all or any of the advances comprised in a class of advances formed by or including the Notifying Lender’s Term Contribution or Revolving Contribution or (as the case may require) the proportion of that cost attributable to its Term Contribution or Revolving Contribution; or

(d) a liability to make a payment, or a return foregone, which is calculated by reference to any amounts received or receivable by the Notifying Lender under this Agreement;

but not an item attributable to a change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of the Notifying Lender (or a parent company of it) or an item covered by the indemnity for tax in Clause 21.1 or by Clause 22 or an item arising directly out of the implementation or application of or compliance with the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, a Revised Framework” published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004, in the form existing on the date of this Agreement (“Basel II”) or any other law or regulation which implements Basel II (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Creditor Party or any of its affiliates) Provided that the exclusion in this paragraph shall not include Basel III irrespective of whether that is implemented or applied pursuant to Basel II.

For the purposes of this Clause 24.2 the Notifying Lender may in good faith allocate or spread costs and/or losses among its assets and liabilities (or any class of its assets and liabilities) on such basis as it considers appropriate.

24.3 Notification to Borrower of claim for increased costs. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Security Parties of the notice which the Agent received from the Notifying Lender under Clause 24.1.

24.4 Payment of increased costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on the Agent’s demand, for the account of the Notifying Lender the amounts which the Agent from time to time notifies the Borrower that the Notifying Lender has specified to be necessary to compensate the Notifying Lender for the increased cost.

24.5 Notice of prepayment. If the Borrower is not willing to continue to compensate the Notifying Lender for the increased cost under Clause 24.4, the Borrower may give the Agent not less than 15 Business Days’ notice of its intention to prepay the Notifying Lender’s Term Contribution and Revolving Contribution or to procure a Transferee lender.

24.6 Prepayment; termination of Term Commitment and Revolving Commitment. A notice of prepayment under Clause 24.5 shall be irrevocable; the Agent shall promptly notify the Notifying Lender of the Borrower’s notice of intended prepayment; and:

(a) on the date on which the Agent serves that notice, the Term Commitment and the Revolving Commitment of the Notifying Lender shall be cancelled; and

(b) on the date specified in its notice of intended prepayment, the Borrower shall prepay (without premium or penalty) the Notifying Lender’s Term Contribution and Revolving Contribution, together with accrued interest thereon at the applicable rate plus the applicable Margin.

24.7 Application of prepayment. Clauses 8.7, 8.10, 8.11 and 8.12 shall apply in relation to the prepayment.

25 SET-OFF

25.1 Application of credit balances. Each Creditor Party may, at any time, without prior notice:

(a) apply any balance (whether or not then due) which at any time stands to the credit of any account in the name of the Borrower at any office in any country of that Creditor Party in or towards satisfaction of any sum then due from the Borrower to that Creditor Party under any of the Finance Documents; and

(b) for that purpose:

(i) break, or alter the maturity of, all or any part of a deposit of the Borrower;

(ii) convert or translate all or any part of a deposit or other credit balance into Dollars;

(iii) enter into any other transaction or make any entry with regard to the credit balance which the Creditor Party concerned considers appropriate.

25.2 Existing rights unaffected. No Creditor Party shall be obliged to exercise any of its rights under Clause 25.1; and those rights shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, charge, lien or other right or remedy to which a Creditor Party is entitled (whether under the general law or any document).

25.3 Sums deemed due to a Lender. For the purposes of this Clause 25, a sum payable by the Borrower to the Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to, or for the account of, a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender; and each Lender’s proportion of a sum so payable for distribution to, or for the account of, the Lenders shall be treated as a sum due to such Lender.

25.4 No Security Interest. This Clause 25 gives the Creditor Parties a contractual right of set-off only and does not create any equitable charge or other Security Interest over any credit balance of the Borrower.

26 TRANSFERS AND CHANGES IN LENDING OFFICES

26.1 Transfer by Borrower. The Borrower may not, without the consent of the Agent given on the instructions of all the Lenders, transfer any of its rights, liabilities or obligations under any Finance Document.

26.2 Transfer by a Lender. Subject to Clause 26.4, a Lender (the “Transferor Lender”) may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), such consent deemed to be given if not explicitly refused by the Borrower within 5 Business Days of such request, or without the consent of the Borrower if an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, cause:

(a) its rights in respect of all or pro rata parts of its Term Contribution and its Revolving Contribution; or

(b) its obligations in respect of all or pro rata parts of its Term Commitment and its Revolving Commitment; or

to be (in the case of its rights) transferred to, or (in the case of its obligations) assumed by, another bank or financial institution or a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (a “Transferee Lender”) by delivering to the Agent a completed certificate in the form set out in Schedule 5 with any modifications approved or required by the Agent (a “Transfer Certificate”) executed by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender Provided that:

(i) a Lender will not be permitted to make such transfer to Xxxxxxxx Bank;

(ii) a Lender may make such transfer to any wholly owned subsidiary of it, to its parent company or to another subsidiary of its parent company without the consent of the Borrower and the fee referred to in Clause 26.11 shall not apply in relation to any such transfer.

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

26.3 Transfer Certificate, delivery and notification. As soon as reasonably practicable after a Transfer Certificate is delivered to the Agent, it shall (unless it has reason to believe that the Transfer Certificate may be defective):

(a) sign the Transfer Certificate on behalf of itself, the Borrower, the Security Parties, the Security Trustee, each of the other Lenders and each of the Swap Banks;

(b) on behalf of the Transferee Lender, send to the Borrower and each Security Party letters or faxes notifying them of the Transfer Certificate and attaching a copy of it;

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

26.4 Effective Date of Transfer Certificate. A Transfer Certificate becomes effective on the date, if any, specified in the Transfer Certificate as its effective date Provided that it is signed by the Agent under Clause 26.3 on or before that date.

26.5 No transfer without Transfer Certificate. No assignment or transfer of any right or obligation of a Lender under any Finance Document is binding on, or effective in relation to, the Borrower, any Security Party, the Agent or the Security Trustee unless it is effected, evidenced or perfected by a Transfer Certificate.

26.6 Lender re-organisation; waiver of Transfer Certificate. However, if a Lender enters into any merger, de-merger or other reorganisation as a result of which all its rights or obligations vest in another person (the “successor”), the Agent may, if it sees fit, by notice to the successor and the Borrower and the Security Trustee waive the need for the execution and delivery of a Transfer Certificate; and, upon service of the Agent’s notice, the successor shall become a Lender with the same Term Commitment, Revolving Commitment, Term Contribution or Revolving Contribution as were held by the predecessor Lender. Upon service of the Agent’s notice, a Transfer Certificate will be deemed to have been given and the provisions of Clause 26.7 will apply as if a Transfer Certificate was given.

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

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

(b) the Transferor Lender’s Term Commitment and Revolving Commitment are each discharged to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate;

(c) the Transferee Lender becomes a Lender with a Term Contribution and a Revolving Contribution and with a Term Commitment and Revolving Commitment of the amounts specified in the Transfer Certificate;

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

(e) any part of the Term Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility which the Transferee Lender advances after the Transfer Certificate’s effective date ranks in point of priority and security in the same way as it would have ranked had it been advanced by the

transferor, assuming that any defects in the transferor’s title and any rights or equities of the Borrower or any Security Party against the Transferor Lender had not existed;

(f) the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to all the rights under the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally, including but not limited to those relating to the Majority Lenders and those under Clause 5.7 and Clause 20, and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be entitled to them; and

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

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

26.8 Maintenance of register of Lenders. During the Security Period the Agent shall maintain a register in which it shall record the name, Term Commitment, Revolving Commitment, Term Contribution, Revolving Contribution and administrative details (including the lending office) from time to time of each Lender holding a Transfer Certificate and the effective date (in accordance with Clause 26.4) of the Transfer Certificate; and the Agent shall make the register available for inspection by any Lender, the Security Trustee and the Borrower during normal banking hours, subject to receiving at least 3 Business Days prior notice.

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

26.10 Authorisation of Agent to sign Transfer Certificates. The Borrower, the Security Trustees, each Lender and each Swap Bank irrevocably authorise the Agent to sign Transfer Certificates on its behalf.

26.11 Registration fee. In respect of any Transfer Certificate, the Agent shall be entitled to recover a registration fee of $3,500 from the Transferor Lender or (at the Agent’s option) the Transferee Lender.

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

26.13 Disclosure of information. Any Creditor Party and its officers and agents may disclose to:

(a) the head office of that Creditor Party, any of its subsidiaries or any subsidiary of its parent company, any affiliate, any representative, branch or regional office in any jurisdiction of that Creditor Party (together with that Creditor Party, the “Permitted Parties”);

(b) the professional advisers and service providers of any Permitted Party who are under a duty of confidentiality to that Permitted Party;

(c) any Transferee Lender, actual or potential assignee, novatee, transferee, participant or sub-participant in relation to any of that Creditor Party’s rights and/or obligations under any agreement (or any agent or adviser of any of the foregoing) or persons who have entered into or who are proposing to enter into contractual arrangements with that Creditor Party in relation to the banking facilities between the Security Party and that Creditor Party;

(d) any rating agency, insurer or insurance broker of, or direct or indirect provider of credit protection to any Permitted Party;

(e) any regulatory, supervisory, governmental or quasi-governmental agency or authority or supranational entity or body, or administrative, fiscal or judicial body, courts and tribunals or any other authorities of whatsoever nature (in each case whether within or outside Singapore) with jurisdiction over the Permitted Parties and to any person to whom information is required to be disclosed by law, regulation or directive; and

(f) any other Creditor Party and any Security Party,

any information about a Security Party, the Facility, the Finance Documents or the Master Agreement (including but not limited to details of the Security Party’s account relationship with the Creditor Party and any other customer information (as defined in the Banking Act, (Cap. 19) of Singapore (the “Banking Act”) as that Creditor Party shall consider appropriate in connection with the Facilities or services provided or to be provided by that Creditor Party or facilitating the Creditor Party’s management of the banking relationship between that Creditor Party, and/or its affiliate and the Security Parties provided that in each case referred to in paragraphs (c) and (d) above, the person to whom the information is to be given is under a duty of confidentiality to that Creditor Party and further provided that any rating issued by a person referred to in clause (d) above shall not be published. Nothing in this paragraph shall constitute, nor be deemed to constitute, an express or implied agreement by the Creditor Parties and the Security Parties for a higher degree of confidentiality than that prescribed in Section 47 of the Banking Act and in the Third Schedule thereto. This consent shall survive and continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Creditor Parties notwithstanding the repayment, cancellation or termination of the Facilities or any part thereof and/or the termination of one or more types of banker-customer relationships between the Security Parties and the Creditor Parties.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(a) a Lender assigns or transfers any rights or obligations under the Finance Documents pursuant to Clauses 26.2 or 26.6 or changes its lending office; and

(b) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs the Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the Transferee Lender or Lender acting through its new lending office under Clause 21.1 in respect of any tax, Clause 22 or Clause 24,

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

26.18 Breakage costs. Without limiting its generality, Clause 21.1 covers any claim, expense, liability or loss, including a loss of a prospective profit, incurred by a Lender:
