| (b) | Provided that the Optional Rate Switch Notice complies with the requirements of this Agreement and accrued interest is paid according to Clause 10.2 (payment of interest), the Optional Rate Switch shall take effect from the first day in the next Interest Period for the Loans meaning that the use of Term SOFR will be replaced by SOFR as Reference Rate from that date (the "Optional Rate Switch Date").

| (c) | Any Optional Rate Switch shall be binding and applicable for all existing Loans, all undrawn Commitments and any Incremental Facilities established after the Optional Rate Switch.

| 9.2 | Notification by Agent

Following the occurrence of an Optional Rate Switch, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders.

| 10. | INTEREST

| 10.1 | Calculation of interest

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

| (i) | Margin; and

| (ii) | applicable Reference Rate.

| 10.2 | Payment of interest

The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on each Loan on the last day of its Interest Period or, in case of Loans with Term SOFR as applicable Reference Rate only, if the Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, on the dates falling at three-monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period. Any outstanding interest accrued before an Optional Rate Switch shall in any event be paid by the Borrowers at latest on the Business Day before the Optional Rate Switch Date.

| 10.3 | Default interest

Page 45 of 150

| (a) | If a Borrower or the Guarantor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of the actual payment (both before and after judgment), at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is two hundred basis points higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a part of the Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably) above the Margin. Any interest accruing under this Clause 10.3 (Default interest) shall be immediately payable by the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor on demand by the Agent.

| (b) | If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan for which Term SOFR is the applicable Reference Rate which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to such Loan:

| (i) | 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 Loan; and

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

| (c) | 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.

| 10.4 | Notification of rates of interest

| (a) | The Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders and the Borrowers of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

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

| (c) | This Clause 10.4 shall not require the Agent to make any notification to any Party on a day which is not a Business Day.

| 11. | INTEREST PERIODS

| 11.1 | Selection of Interest Periods

| (a) | The Borrowers may select an Interest Period for a Loan under the Term Loan Facility of three (3) Months or any such other periods as all Lenders may agree in the relevant Utilisation Request.

| (b) | The Interest Period for any Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and any Incremental Facility shall be three (3) Months, however so that the first Interest Period for any such Loan shall be shortened to the extent necessary so that it ends on the next Scheduled Repayment Date.

| (c) | In respect of any Loan already utilised under the Term Loan Facility, the Borrowers may select an Interest Period for such Loan in a Selection Notice on the following terms:

Page 46 of 150

| (i) | each Selection Notice for a Loan is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Agent by the Borrowers not later than 12:00 noon Oslo time on the date falling three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the current Interest Period; and

| (ii) | the Borrowers may select an Interest Period for a Loan under the Term Loan Facility of a period three (3) Months or any other periods as all Lenders may agree.

| (d) | If the Borrowers fail to deliver a Selection Notice to the Agent in accordance with paragraph (c) above, the relevant Interest Period will be three (3) Months.

| (e) | An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Maturity Date.

| (f) | The first Interest Period for a Loan shall start on the relevant Utilisation Date and each subsequent Interest Period shall start on the last day of its preceding Interest Period.

| 11.2 | Non-Business Days

If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

| 12. | CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

| 12.1 | Absence of quotations

| (a) | Interpolated Term SOFR: If Term SOFR is the applicable Reference Rate and no Term SOFR is available for the Interest Period of a Loan, the applicable Reference Rate shall be the Interpolated Term SOFR for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Loan.

| (b) | Central Bank Rate: If the applicable Reference Rate (Term SOFR or SOFR) is not available, as relevant on any day during, the Interest Period of a Loan and in case of Term SOFR it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Term SOFR, the applicable Reference Rate shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of (i) the arithmetic mean of the Central Bank Rate for the relevant days in the Interest Period of the Loan(s), provided that the Central Bank Rate applicable to the day falling five (5) days prior to the last day of the relevant Interest Period shall be deemed to be the Central Bank Rate for the final five (5) days of that Interest Period and (ii) the applicable Central Bank Rate Adjustment.

| 12.2 | Interest calculation if no Term SOFR, SOFR or Central Bank Rate

If Clause 12.1 (Absence of quotations) paragraph (b) applies but no Central Bank Rate is available for the purpose of calculating the Reference Rate, Clause 12.4 (Cost of funds) shall apply to the Loan(s) for the relevant Interest Period.

| 12.3 | Market disruption

If before close of business in Amsterdam on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in a Loan exceed fifty (50) per cent. of that Loan) that its cost of funds relating to its participation in that Loan would be in excess of that Market Disruption Rate then Clause 12.4 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Loan for the relevant Interest Period.

| 12.4 | Cost of funds

Page 47 of 150

| (a) | If this Clause 12.4 applies, the rate of interest on each Lender's share of the relevant Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

| (i) | the Margin; and

| (ii) | in respect of each relevant Lender, the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event within 2 Business Days before the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum its cost of funds relating to its participation in that Loan.

| (b) | If this Clause 12.4 applies and the Agent or the Borrowers so require, the Agent and the Borrowers 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 Lenders and the Borrowers, be binding on all Parties.

| (d) | If an alternative basis is not agreed pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Borrowers shall have the option to (i) cancel and prepay the relevant Loan(s) according to Clause 8.1 (Voluntary cancellation) and 8.2 (Voluntary prepayment of Loans) or (ii) continue to pay interest calculated under Clause 12.4 (Cost of funds). For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 38.3 (Changes to Reference Rates) shall in any event apply if and when relevant according to its terms.

| (e) | The Borrower shall continue to pay interest calculated under Clause 12.4 (Cost of funds) as long as no agreed substitute basis for determining the rate of interest has been implemented.

| (f) | If this Clause 12.4 applies and:

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

| (ii) | a Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in sub-paragraph (a)(ii) above,

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

| 12.5 | Notification of market disruption

If Clause 12.4 (Cost of funds) applies the Agent shall, as soon as is practicable, notify the Borrowers and each of the relevant Lenders.

| 12.6 | Break Costs

| (a) | The Borrowers shall, within three (3) 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 Borrowers on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Loan or Unpaid Sum.

Page 48 of 150

| (b) | Each relevant Finance Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they become, or may become, payable.

| 13. | FEES

| 13.1 | Commitment fee

| (a) | The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent (for the account of each relevant Lender) a fee in USD computed at the rate of forty per cent (40%) of the relevant Margin per annum and calculated on the undrawn portion of the Total Commitments during the relevant Availability Period.

| (b) | The accrued commitment fee is payable (i) quarterly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter, (ii) on the last day of the relevant Availability Period and (iii) if cancelled in full, on the cancelled amount at the time the cancellation is effective.

"Tax Credit" means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax.
"Tax Deduction" means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document, other than a FATCA Deduction.

| (b) | The Borrowers shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Obligors.

| (c) | If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by any Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

| (d) | If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

| (e) | Within thirty (30) days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

| (a) | The Obligors shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.

| (b) | Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

| (i) | with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:

| (B) | under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party's Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or

| (ii) | to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

| (A) | is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 14.2 (Tax gross- up); or;

| (B) | relates to a FATCA Deduction to be made by a Party.

| (a) | All amounts set out or 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 a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, that Party shall pay to the 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 such VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party).

| (b) | Where a Finance Document requires any Party 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 in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

Page 52 of 150

| (d) | 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 paragraph (a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made under them) 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.

| 14.8 | FATCA Deduction

| (a) | 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.

The guarantee given by the Guarantor herein 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.

SECTION 9
CHANGES TO PARTIES

| 27. | CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

| 27.1 | Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

| (a) | Subject to this Clause 27 (Changes to the Lenders), a Lender (the "Existing Lender") may assign, sub-participate and/or transfer any of its rights and/or obligations under any Finance Document to another Eligible Institution (the "New Lender").

| (b) | The consent of the Borrowers is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is:

| (i) | to another Lender or an Affiliate or a related fund of a Lender;

| (ii) | to a Central Bank, Federal Reserve or to another state-owned entity;

| (iii) | to any sub-participant where the Existing Lender retains all its obligations in respect of the transferred, assigned or participated amounts; or

| (iv) | made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing or a Sanctions Event has occurred.

| (c) | The consent of the Borrowers to an assignment or a transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Borrowers shall be deemed to have given their consent five (5) Business Days after that Lender has requested them in writing to do so unless consent is expressly refused by the Borrowers within that time.

| 27.2 | Conditions of assignment or transfer

| (a) | An assignment or a transfer requiring the Borrowers' consent shall only be effective:

| (i) | on receipt by the Agent of:

| (A) | written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender shall assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Existing Lender; and

| (B) | all required "know your customer" documentation,

| (ii) | on the New Lender's payment of a transfer fee of USD 5,000 to the Agent; and

| (iii) | if the Commitment that is to be transferred to the New Lender is in the minimum amount of USD 10,000,000 (or, if less, such amount constituting the Total Commitment of that transferring Lender).

| (b) | A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 27.4 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

| (c) | If:

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

Page 91 of 150

| (ii) | as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrowers or the Guarantor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 14 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) or Clause 15 (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, transfer or change had not occurred. This paragraph (c) shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Facility.

| (d) | 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 this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

| 27.3 | Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

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

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

| (ii) | the financial condition of any Obligor;

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

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

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

| (b) | Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

| (i) | has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

| (ii) | 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.

| (c) | Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

| (i) | accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 27 (Changes to the Lenders); or

Page 92 of 150

| (ii) | 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 otherwise.

| 27.4 | Procedure for transfer

| (a) | Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 27.2 (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 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 transfer to such New Lender.

| (c) | Subject to Clause 27.6 (Pro rata interest settlement), 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 under the Finance Documents 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 Mandated Lead 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 Existing 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 Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

| (iv) | the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender".

| 27.5 | Copy of Transfer Certificate to the Borrowers

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, send to the Borrowers a copy of that Transfer Certificate.

| 27.6 | Pro rata interest settlement

If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a "pro rata basis" to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 27.4 (Procedure for transfer) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):

Page 93 of 150

| (a) | any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date ("Accrued Amounts") and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, on the next of the dates which falls at three (3) Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and

| (b) | the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

| (i) | when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable to the Existing Lender; and

| (ii) | the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 27.6 (Pro rata interest settlement), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

| 27.7 | Securitisation

The Agent or the Lenders may include the Loans in a securitisation or similar transaction without the consent of, or any consultation with the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor. The Agent and/or the Lenders (as the case may be) shall have full right of disclosure of information in connection with or in contemplation of such securitisation (or similar transaction). The Borrowers and the Guarantor shall assist the Agent as necessary to achieve a successful securitisation (or similar transaction), hereunder inter alia the following:

| (a) | Keep bank accounts where requested by the Agent and procure that the Earnings are paid to any such account; and

| (b) | Procure that the Insurances according to Clause 25.2 (Insurance – Vessels) are placed with insurers of the requisite rating;

provided however that the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor shall not be required to bear any costs related to any such securitisation.

| 27.8 | Security over Lenders' rights

In addition to the other rights provided in this Clause 27 (Changes to the Lenders), each Lender may, without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure the obligations of that Lender, including, without limitation:

| (a) | any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

| (b) | in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security 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, assignment or Security shall:

Page 94 of 150

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

| (b) | require any payments to be made by an Obligor 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.

| 28. | CHANGES TO THE OBLIGORS

| 28.1 | Assignments and transfer by Obligors

No Obligor may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents.

| 28.2 | Additional Borrowers

| (a) | Subject to compliance with the provisions of Clause 22.8 ("Know your customer" checks) and the below requirements, the Guarantor may request that one of its Subsidiaries becomes a Borrower.

| (b) | That Subsidiary shall become a Borrower on the date the Agent executes the related Accession Letter if:

| (i) | the Subsidiary:

| (A) | is a direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Guarantor; and

| (B) | is (or shall as the case might be) become the owner of the Additional Vessel to be financed by the Incremental Facility being established in connection with the Subsidiary's accession as Borrower;

| (ii) | it is incorporated in the same jurisdiction as an existing Borrower and the Majority Lenders approve the addition of that Subsidiary or otherwise if all the Lenders approve the addition of that Subsidiary (in each case such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

| (iii) | the Guarantor and that Subsidiary deliver to the Agent a duly completed and executed Accession Letter;

| (iv) | the Guarantor confirms that no Default is continuing or would occur as a result of that Subsidiary becoming an Additional Borrower; and

| (v) | the Agent has received all of the documents and other evidence referred to in Clause 4.1 (Initial conditions precedent) sub-paragraph (d)(i) in relation to that Additional Borrower, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent.

| (c) | The Agent shall notify the Obligors and the Lenders promptly upon being satisfied that it has received (in form and substance satisfactory to it) all the documents and other evidence listed in Clause 4.1 (Initial conditions precedent) sub-paragraph (d)(i).

Page 95 of 150

| (d) | Other than to the extent that the Majority Lenders notify the Agent in writing to the contrary before the Agent gives the notification described in paragraph (c) above, the Lenders authorise (but do not require) the Agent to give that notification. The Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever as a result of giving any such notification.

| 28.3 | Repetition of Representations

Delivery of an Accession Letter constitutes confirmation by the relevant Subsidiary that the representations and warranties referred to in Clause 21 (Representations) are true and correct in relation to it as at the date of delivery as if made by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing.

| (B) | 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 sub-paragraph (A) above, may assume the truth and accuracy of that certificate.

| (b) | The Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to the contrary in its capacity as agent for the Lenders and the Hedging Banks) that:

| (c) | If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent and/or Security Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above within twenty (20) days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Agent (after consultation with the Borrowers) may appoint a successor Agent and/or Security Agent.

Page 103 of 150

| (ii) | the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 14.7 (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

| (a) | Subject to Clause 27.6 (Pro rata interest settlement), the Agent may treat the person shown in its records as Lender 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 acting through its Facility Office:

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

| (ii) | 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 to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Page 104 of 150

| (b) | Any Lender 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 under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address, e-mail and 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, e- mail, department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 34.2 (Addresses) and Clause 34.5 (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.

| 29.15 | Credit appraisal by the Lenders and the Hedging Banks

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 the Hedging Banks confirms to the Agent and the Mandated Lead Arrangers 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:

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.

| 30. | CONDUCT OF BUSINESS BY THE FINANCE PARTIES

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

| 31. | SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES

| 31.1 | Payments to Finance Parties

If a Finance Party (a "Recovering Finance Party") receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 32 (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;

| (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 32 (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 Clause 32.5 (Partial payments).

| 31.2 | Redistribution of payments

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 Clause 32.5 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of that Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties.

| 31.3 | Recovering Finance Party's rights

On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 31.2 (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.

| 31.4 | Reversal of redistribution

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:

Page 106 of 150

| (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.

| 31.5 | Exceptions

| (a) | This Clause 31 (Sharing among the Finance Parties) 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.

| (b) | 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:

| (i) | it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

| (ii) | 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.

| 32.1 | Payments to the Agent

| (a) | On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document, that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

| 32.2 | Distributions by the Agent

Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 32.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and Clause 32.4 (Clawback) be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account with such bank as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five (5) Business Days' notice.

| 32.3 | Distributions to an Obligor

The Agent may (with the consent of the relevant Obligor or in accordance with Clause 33 (Set- off)) apply any amount received by it from that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

| 32.4 | Clawback

| (a) | Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

| (b) | If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

| 32.5 | Partial payments

| (ii) | any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent (acting reasonably).

| (b) | If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Borrowers) specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the London interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

| 33. | SET-OFF

A Finance Party may set off any matured or un-matured obligation due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured or un- matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation.
