On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including Clause 4 (Conditions Precedent)), each Lender severally agrees to make its participation in the Loan (other than in respect of the Deferred Tranches) available to the Facility Agent in USD, without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction, on the Disbursement Date through such Lender’s Lending Office.

(b)

The amount of each Lender’s participation in the Loan (excluding the Deferred Tranches) will be equal to the proportion borne by its Available Commitment to the available Facility, but in no case shall a Lender be obliged to lend more than its Commitment.

(c)

The Facility Agent shall notify each Lender of the amount of the Loan and the amount of its participation in the Loan not later than 12:00 p.m. (London time) at least three (3) Business Days (which shall also be business days in Frankfurt am Main) prior to the proposed Disbursement Date.

(d)

The Facility Agent shall, upon the Borrower’s reasonable request, confirm to the Borrower that it has received the Lenders’ participations in accordance with this Clause 2.3 (Commitments of the Lenders).

(e)

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out in Clause 4.7 (First Deferred Tranche Conditions Precedent), each Lender shall be deemed to have made available its Commitment in respect of the relevant portion of the First Deferred Tranche (as set out in Schedule 1 of Amendment and Restatement No.3) on the relevant Repayment Date falling during the First Deferral Period and, accordingly, the remaining provisions of this Clause 2.3, and of Clauses 2.4 to 2.8 (inclusive), shall not apply in respect of the deemed advances of the First Deferred Tranche. The Commitments in respect of the First Deferred Tranche shall automatically terminate on the date referred to in sub-paragraph (b) of the Commitments Termination Date.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out in Clause 4.8 (Second Deferred Tranche Conditions Precedent), each Lender shall be deemed to have made available its Commitment in respect of the relevant portion of the Second Deferred Tranche (as set out in Schedule 1 of Amendment and Restatement No.5) on the relevant Repayment Date falling during the Second Deferral Period and, accordingly, the remaining provisions of this clause 2.3, and of Clauses 2.4 to 2.8 (inclusive), shall not apply in respect of the deemed advances of the Second Deferred Tranche. The Commitments in respect of the Second Deferred Tranche shall automatically terminate on the date referred to in sub-paragraph (c) of the Commitments Termination Date.

2.4

Voluntary Cancellation

(a)

At any time prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day before the Scheduled Delivery Date, subject to the Borrower paying any due and unpaid fees (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Finance Parties’ legal fees required hereunder, the Commitment Fee, any Pre-Disbursement Delay Fee and any fees under the Fee Letters), and provided that the Borrower provides evidence satisfactory to the Facility Agent that it has the adequate financial resources available to it to pay all sums contractually due to the Builder at the delivery of the Purchased Vessel, the Borrower may, without liability for any Funding Losses, premium or penalties, provide written notice to the Facility Agent (of which the Facility Agent shall notify BpiFAE) that the Borrower elects to cancel all or part of the available Facility, and such cancellation shall become effective on the earlier of the tenth (10th) Business Day after such notice has been provided to the Facility Agent and the Scheduled Delivery Date.

(b)

Any cancellation under this Clause 2.4 (Voluntary Cancellation) shall (i) reduce the Commitments of the Lenders ratably and (ii) be irrevocable.

(c)

The Borrower shall notify the Facility Agent in writing of any cancellation of the available EUR Facility and shall not cancel all or part of the available EUR Facility without providing evidence satisfactory to the Facility Agent that it has the adequate financial resources available to it to pay all sums contractually due to the Builder at the delivery of the Purchased Vessel.

2.5

Cancellation due to Lender Illegality

(a)

If, prior to the Disbursement Date, it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for any Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement and/or any other Finance Document, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent upon becoming aware of such event and the Facility Agent shall then notify the Borrower.

(b)

Upon the Borrower being so notified, the Commitments of such affected Lender shall be cancelled, subject to Clause 13.11(g) (Borrower's Lender Replacement Rights).

2.6

Delayed Delivery

(a)

The Borrower shall provide prompt written notice to the Facility Agent of any Pre-Disbursement Delay and any Post-Disbursement Delay.

(b)

If a Pre-Disbursement Delay occurs, the relevant Drawing Request shall remain valid for five (5) Business Days after the date thereof. At 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the (5th) such Business Day (the “Request Withdrawal Time”), if the Loan has not been made (and therefore the Disbursement Date has not occurred), the Drawing Request shall be deemed withdrawn. After the Request Withdrawal Time, the Borrower shall be permitted to submit another Drawing Request upon ascertaining the revised delivery schedule for the Purchased Vessel, and the Borrower shall be permitted to repeat the process described in this paragraph (b) as necessary (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the disbursement of the Loan be made after the Commitments Termination Date (excluding, for the purposes of the entirety of this Clause 2.6 (Delayed Delivery), paragraph (a) of the definition thereof)).

(c)

If a Post-Disbursement Delay occurs, subject to the full repayment of the Loan and the payment of all Funding Losses in accordance with Clause 5.2(a)(ii) (and, if applicable, Clause 5.2(c)), the Borrower shall be permitted to submit another Drawing Request upon ascertaining the revised delivery schedule for the Purchased Vessel, and the Borrower shall be permitted to repeat the process described in this paragraph (c) as necessary (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the disbursement of the new Loan be made after the Commitments Termination Date). In the case of a Post-Disbursement Delay, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Facility Agent as to whether the funds standing to the credit of the Funding Accounts are to be (i) retained in the Funding Accounts pending the Effective Delivery Date or (ii) utilised in making a prepayment pursuant to Clause 5.2(a)(ii) in the event that the Borrower should make such a prepayment. Such notice shall be provided within fifteen (15) days of the Disbursement Date and in any event at least three (3) Business Days prior to any such prepayment.

(d)

During any such delays, the Borrower shall diligently keep the Facility Agent informed as to the progress of the Purchased Vessel’s construction and finalisation and the expected timing of its delivery.

2.7

Automatic Cancellation

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all Available Commitments shall be automatically cancelled and terminated on the Commitments Termination Date. So long as the Borrower has either not served a Drawing Request or has borrowed the full amount requested in its Drawing Request, any such cancellation and termination of the Available Commitments shall not itself result in liability for the Borrower for any Funding Losses, premium or penalties.

2.8

Cancellation for Non–Exercise Premium

(a)

The Commitments shall be automatically reduced by the Dollar Equivalent of an amount equal to sixteen per cent. (16%) of the Non-Exercise Premium (as such premium is capped pursuant to Clause 2.2(a)(i)(B)) if the Non-Exercise Premium does not become payable in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract. Any reduction shall take effect on the date on which the Non-Exercise Premium ceases to be payable in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract.

(b)

Any cancellation under this Clause 2.8 (Cancellation for Non-Exercise Premium) shall (i) reduce the Commitments of the Lenders ratably and (ii) be irrevocable.

Construction Contract

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Finance Documents or any other documents executed in connection herewith or therewith, none of the Finance Parties shall have any responsibility or liability whatsoever regarding any performance or non-performance by any party to the Construction Contract and no Finance Party shall have any right or obligation to intervene in any dispute in connection with or arising out of such performance or non-performance and any such dispute shall not entitle the Borrower or any of its Affiliates to any claim towards any Finance Party.

2.10

Independence of Borrower’s Obligations

The Borrower acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement, including its obligation to repay the Loan, are independent of the Construction Contract, and this Agreement and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder shall not be invalidated, suspended or limited in any way by any termination, rescission, cancellation, invalidation, non-performance or non-completion of the Construction Contract or any other contract, agreement or arrangement relating thereto (other than the Finance Documents) or any dispute or claim between the Borrower and/or the Builder and/or any suppliers and/or any other third parties under or in connection with the Construction Contract, or any defence thereto, or any insolvency proceedings relating to the Builder or any other Person.

2.11

Finance Parties’ Rights and Obligations

(a)

The obligations of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents are several. Failure by a Finance Party to perform its obligations under the Finance Documents does not affect the obligations of any other party under the Finance Documents. No Finance Party is responsible for the obligations of any other Finance Party under the Finance Documents.

(b)

The rights of each Finance Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents are separate and independent rights and any debt arising under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party from the Borrower shall be a separate and independent debt.

(e)

REPAYMENTS, PREPAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES

5.1

Repayments

(a)

Subject to paragraph (b) below (which it is acknowledged that as of the First Deferred Tranche Effective Date, did not apply), the Borrower shall repay (i) the Loan (but for this purpose excluding the Deferred Tranches) in the installments and on the dates set out in Part A of Schedule B (Repayment Schedule), (ii) the First Deferred Tranche, in the installments and on the dates set out in Part B of Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) and (iii) the Second Deferred Tranche, in the instalments and on the dates set out in Part C of Schedule B Repayment Schedule) in each case as such Schedule B was substituted on the Second Deferred Tranche Effective Date, it being acknowledged and agreed that that the repayment installments of the Loan falling during the Second Deferral Period (and for this purpose including the repayment installments of the First Deferred Tranche falling due during this period) shall be deemed to be repaid pursuant to a deemed advance of the Second Deferred Tranche to be made on each relevant Repayment Date falling during such Second Deferral Period and being, in each case, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Loan (including the relevant part of the First Deferred Tranche falling due for payment on those Repayment Dates).

(b)

(i)Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) has been prepared as at the date of this Agreement on the assumptions that:

(A)

the Disbursement Date will be two (2) Business Days prior to the Original Scheduled Delivery Date;

(B)

the principal amount of the Loan advanced under this Agreement will be the Maximum Loan Amount and that the Maximum Loan Amount will be equal to two hundred forty four million four hundred sixty nine thousand eight hundred and ninety three and 86/100 Dollars (USD 244,469,893.86) (representing one hundred seventy eight million four hundred forty five thousand one hundred and seventy eight Euros (EUR 178,445,178) converted into Dollars at a rate of one (1) to one point three seven (1.37)); and

(C)

the Loan will not be prepaid in whole or in part.

(ii)

If any of these assumptions proves to be incorrect then, as soon as reasonably practicable, the Facility Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower, prepare a substitute Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) on the same basis as the existing Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) but reflecting the correct Disbursement Date, amount of the Loan advanced in USD or, as the case may be, principal amount of the Loan outstanding after any such prepayment.

(iii)

The Facility Agent shall provide the Lenders and the Borrower with a copy of the substitute Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) promptly following its preparation and in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the first or, as applicable, next Repayment Date.

(iv)

Upon the receipt by the Lenders and the Borrower of the substitute Schedule B (Repayment Schedule), subject to there being no manifest error therein, such substitute schedule will replace the existing Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) and all repayments of the Loan will, subject to the further application of clause (i) above, be made in accordance with the substitute Schedule B (Repayment Schedule).

(c)

(i)

If, with respect to any date on which an amount of principal and/or interest is due and payable by the Borrower under this Agreement (the “USD Amount”) and an amount of principal and/or interest is due and payable by the Borrower under the EUR Facility Agreement (the “EUR Amount”), the Borrower becomes aware that it will be making a payment that is not sufficient to pay in full both the USD Amount and the EUR Amount (a “Short Payment”), the Borrower shall inform the Facility Agent and the EUR Facility Agent thereof in advance in writing and shall share the Short Payment such that each of the Facility Agent and the EUR Facility Agent receives the payment to be made to it under each of this Agreement and the EUR Facility Agreement on a pro rata and pari-passu basis as provided in paragraph (ii) below.

(ii)

Such pro rata and pari-passu payment shall be made by reference to the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan (after converting the same into EUR at the Applicable Spot Rate on that date) and the then outstanding principal amount of the loan under the EUR Facility Agreement.

(iii)

The Borrower only (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not the Finance Parties or the EUR Facility Finance Parties) shall be responsible for the ongoing monitoring of the pro rata and pari-passu payment share so that any Short Payment is made on a pro rata and pari-passu basis between the Lenders and the EUR Facility Lenders. If the Borrower fails to comply with the provisions of this Clause 5.1(c), no Finance Party shall be required to repay to the Borrower or to any EUR Facility Finance Party any amount received from the Borrower as payment for the USD Amount or the EUR Amount, as the case may be.

(iv)

On the date on which the Borrower makes a Short Payment, it shall provide reasonable written details to each of the Facility Agent and the EUR Facility Agent of (A) the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan (converted into EUR at the Applicable Spot Rate on that date) and the then outstanding principal amount of the loan under the EUR Facility Agreement and (B) how it calculated the apportionment of the Short Payment, including a screen shot of the Applicable Spot Rate.

(v)

The provisions of this Clause 5.1(c) are not to be regarded as a waiver by any Finance Party of any failure by the Borrower to pay in full any USD Amount on the relevant due date, and the compliance by the Borrower with the provisions of this Clause 5.1(c) will not in any way preclude the application of the provisions of Clause 10.1(a) (Non-Payment of Obligations) if the full amount of the relevant payment is not made within the applicable remedy period.

(d)

Without prejudice to the availability of the Deferred Tranches, and subject to Clause 2.6(c), no amounts repaid by the Borrower under this Agreement may be reborrowed by the Borrower.

5.2

Prepayment

(a)

The Borrower:

(i)

may, from time to time on any Business Day following the Loan Release Date, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan; provided that:

(A)

any such voluntary prepayment (except if made pursuant to subclause (a)(ii) below) shall require:

(I) if the Loan is accruing interest at the Fixed Rate, at least forty five (45) days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent; and

(II) if the Loan is accruing interest at the Floating Rate, at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent,

(B)

each of which notice shall be irrevocable and shall be promptly forwarded by the Facility Agent to the Lenders and (if the Fixed Rate applies) Natixis DAI; and

(C)

any such voluntary partial prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of five million Dollars (USD 5,000,000) and a multiple of one million Dollars (USD 1,000,000) (or the remaining amount of the Loan ) and shall (except as provided in the BpiFAE Insurance Policy) be applied against the outstanding repayment installments of the Loan set out in Schedule B (Repayment Schedule), in the inverse order of the maturity thereof, save that where there is an outstanding amount of the Deferred Tranches, any such prepayment shall first be applied against the Deferred Tranches and either in inverse order of maturity or ratably across the remaining installments of the Deferred Tranches (as the Borrower shall designate in writing); and

(ii)

may, if a Post-Disbursement Delay has occurred and is continuing and the Borrower has provided at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall be promptly forwarded by the Facility Agent to the Lenders), prepay (in whole and not part) on any Business Day prior to the Commitments Termination Date (excluding, for the purposes of the entirety of this Clause 5.2 (Prepayment), paragraph (a) of the definition thereof) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan and all other Obligations payable to the Finance Parties;

(iii)

shall, on the Commitments Termination Date, if a Post-Disbursement Delay has occurred and is continuing, prepay (in whole and not part) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan and all other Obligations payable to the Finance Parties to the extent that such amounts have not been paid pursuant to clause (ii) above; and

(iv)

shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the repayment of the installments of the Loan pursuant to Clause 10.2 (Action if Bankruptcy) or Clause 10.3 (Action if Other Event of Default) or the mandatory prepayment of the Loan pursuant to Clause 11.2 (Mandatory Prepayment), repay the Loan or, in the case of a Mandatory Prepayment Event arising pursuant to Clauses 11.1(m) (Framework Prohibited Events) or 11.1(n) (Breach of Principles or Framework), repay the Deferred Tranches, together with all accrued and unpaid deferred costs, interest on the Loan or the Deferred Tranches (as applicable) and, other than in the case of a Mandatory Prepayment Event arising pursuant to Clauses 11.1(m) (Framework Prohibited Events) or 11.1(n) (Breach of Principles or Framework), all other Obligations payable to the Finance Parties.

(b)

Each prepayment of the Loan (including any prepayment of a Deferred Tranche) made in accordance with this Clause 5.2 (Prepayment) shall be subject to the payment of any Funding Losses but otherwise without any premium or penalty, provided that no Funding Losses shall be payable in connection with any such prepayment if the Floating Rate applies and such prepayment is made on the last day of an Interest Period.

(c)

In making any prepayment described in paragraph (a)(ii) above, the Borrower may, at its option and only if it has provided notice to the Facility Agent under Clause 2.6(c)(ii), upon additional prior written notice to the Facility Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable, shall be promptly forwarded by the Facility Agent to the Lenders and shall be included in the prepayment notice provided under paragraph (a)(ii) above), instruct the Facility Agent to utilise the funds standing to the credit of the EUR Funding Account in accordance with the terms of the Funding Accounts Charge to purchase USD and to utilise the funds standing to the credit of the USD Funding Account, in each case to apply in or towards such prepayment, provided that the Borrower shall pay any shortfall in USD with its own funds. The Borrower shall be permitted to repeat the process described in this paragraph (c) as necessary in the event of any subsequent Loan made in accordance with Clause 2.6 (Delayed Delivery).

(d)

In making any prepayment described in paragraph (a)(ii) above, the funds standing to the credit of the EUR Funding Account shall be utilised in accordance with the terms of the Funding Accounts Charge to purchase USD and the funds standing to the credit of the USD Funding Account shall be utilised, in each case to apply in or towards such prepayment, provided that the Borrower shall pay any shortfall in USD with its own funds.

(e)

The Facility Agent shall procure that, following any such full prepayment of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan and all other Obligations payable to the Finance Parties as contemplated by paragraphs (c) and (d) above, any surplus balance standing to the credit of the Funding Accounts together with any remaining interest which may have accrued on the Funding Accounts shall be returned to the Borrower.

(f)

If the Fixed Rate Applies and the Borrower wishes to make a voluntary prepayment in accordance with this Clause 5.2 (Prepayment) (a “Potential Prepayment”), then, if the Borrower so requests prior to providing a notice of prepayment, the Facility Agent shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from Natixis DAI and provide to the Borrower the reasonable details of Natixis DAI's calculations of its estimated Funding Losses which would be incurred if such Potential Prepayment were to occur. Solely if such estimate, details and/or calculations (as applicable) are provided by Natixis DAI shall they be provided to the Borrower. If the Borrower (acting reasonably) disagrees with Natixis DAI's estimate, details or calculations, then the Borrower shall promptly notify the Facility Agent thereof in writing with reasonable details of the Borrower's position and the Facility Agent shall use reasonable efforts to arrange a consultation between the Borrower, the Facility Agent, the Lenders and Natixis DAI to discuss and agree the amount of Funding Losses to be paid in connection with the Potential Prepayment.

(g)

Subject to Clause 2.6(c), no amounts prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Clause 5.2 (Prepayment) may be reborrowed by the Borrower.

5.3

Interest Provisions

Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this Clause 5.3 (Interest Provisions).

(a)

Rates

(i)

The Loan (but for this purpose excluding any drawn portion of either Deferred Tranche) shall accrue interest, during the following periods, at the following rates:

(A)

during the period beginning on (and including) the Disbursement Date and ending on (but excluding) the Loan Release Date, at the Floating Rate; and

(B)

during the period beginning on (and including) the Loan Release Date and ending on (but excluding) the date of repayment or prepayment of the Loan in full to the Lenders, at the rate (which shall be the Fixed Rate or the Floating Rate) elected by the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (b) below,

provided that:

(I)

if there is a Pre-Disbursement Delay and the Disbursement Date occurs (and therefore the Loan is made), then with respect to any period from (and including) the proposed Disbursement Date specified in the relevant Drawing Request until (and excluding) the actual Disbursement Date, the Loan shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the difference (if positive) between the Floating Rate and overnight LIBOR for such period; and

(II)

if there is a Post-Disbursement Delay, then with respect to any period from (and including) the Disbursement Date until (and excluding) the earlier of the Loan Release Date and the date of any prepayment under Clause 5.2(a)(ii) or (iii), as applicable, the Loan shall accrue interest at the Floating Rate.

(ii)

A Deferred Tranche shall accrue interest from the first Repayment Date to fall during the Advanced Loan Deferral Period applicable to that Deferred Tranche (or, in the case of a further advance in respect of a Deferred Tranche after the first advance and in respect of that further advance, from the relevant Repayment Date in respect of the Loan to which that further advance of that Deferred Tranche relates) to the date of repayment or prepayment of that Deferred Tranche in full to the Lenders at the Floating Rate. The first deemed advance and the second deemed advance in respect of a Deferred Tranche shall be consolidated at, and run concurrently from, the time of the making of the second advance and interest on the advances in respect of that Deferred Tranche shall be payable on each Repayment Date (it being acknowledged and agreed that repayment installments for the First Deferred Tranche which are deemed to be repaid by advances under the Second Deferred Tranche in accordance with Clause 5.3(a)) shall become subject to the Floating Rate for the Second Deferred Tranche as at the time of such deemed repayment)..

(iii)

Interest accrued on the Loan and the drawn portion of the Deferred Tranches shall, subject to paragraph (d) below, be payable semi-annually in arrears on the Repayment Dates set out in the relevant part of Schedule B (Repayment Schedule). The Loan (including any drawn portion of the Deferred Tranches) shall bear interest on a day-to-day basis during each Interest Period at the interest rate determined hereunder as being applicable to the Loan.

(b)

Election of Interest Rate

(i)

The Borrower shall elect to pay interest on the Loan at the Fixed Rate or the Floating Rate, after which (subject to paragraph (a) above) such elected interest rate shall apply to the Loan.

(ii)

The Borrower shall notify the Facility Agent of such election in writing at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to providing the Disbursement Request and, regardless of the application of Clause 2.6 (Delayed Delivery) (if applicable), such election shall be irrevocable.

(iii)

It is agreed that this paragraph (b) shall not apply to a Deferred Tranche, and that any drawn portion of a Deferred Tranche shall accrue interest at the Floating Rate notwithstanding the absence of any election pursuant to this paragraph (b).

(c)

Post-Maturity Rates

After the date on which any principal amount of the Loan is due and payable (whether on any Repayment Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary Obligation of the Borrower shall have become due and payable (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment Fee, the Pre-Disbursement Delay Fee or any fee payable under any Fee Letter), the Borrower shall pay on first demand, but only to the extent permitted by relevant and applicable law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts for each day during the period of such default at a rate per annum equal to the sum of overnight LIBOR as quoted at 11:00 a.m. (London time) plus three point two zero per cent. (3.20%) per annum.

(d)

Interest Payment Dates

(i)

Without prejudice to paragraph (c) above or clause (ii) below, interest accrued on the Loan shall be payable, without duplication, on:

(A)

each Repayment Date;

(B)

the date of any prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on the Loan (but only on the principal so prepaid); and

(C)

with respect to any portion of the Loan the repayment of which is accelerated pursuant to Clause 10.2 (Action if Bankruptcy) or Clause 10.3 (Action if Other Event of Default), immediately upon such acceleration.

(ii)

Interest accrued on the Loan or any other monetary Obligation arising under or in connection with this Agreement after the date such amount is due and payable (whether upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.

(e)

Fixed Rate Unavailable Before Delivery

For the avoidance of doubt, the Fixed Rate shall not be available during or with respect to any period prior the Effective Delivery Date.

5.4

Pre-Disbursement Delay Fee

(a)

If there is a Pre-Disbursement Delay and the Disbursement Date does not occur (and therefore the Loan is not made), then the Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender for any period commencing on (and including) the proposed Disbursement Date specified in the relevant Drawing Request and ending on (and excluding) the date on which such Drawing Request is withdrawn in accordance with Clause 2.6(b) a fee (the “Pre-Disbursement Delay Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the amount of the Loan proposed in such Drawing Request multiplied by (ii) the difference (if positive) between the Floating Rate and overnight LIBOR for such period.

(b)

The Pre-Disbursement Delay Fee shall be payable by the Borrower to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the relevant Drawing Request is withdrawn in accordance with Clause 2.6(b).

5.5

Commitment Fee

(a)

Subject to paragraph (e) below, the Borrower agrees to pay, in Euros, to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender for the period commencing on (and including) the date hereof and ending on (and including) the Commitments Termination Date a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to zero point twenty five per cent. (0.25%) per annum of the daily Available Commitment of each Lender.

(b)

In the event of a prepayment under and in accordance with Clause 5.2(a)(ii), the Commitment Fee shall re-commence accruing with respect to the period commencing on (and including) the date of such prepayment and ending on (and including) the next Commitments Termination Date.

(c)

The Commitment Fee shall be payable by the Borrower to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender in arrear as from the date of this Agreement on (i) the date falling six (6) months after the date hereof, (ii) the last day of each six (6) month period thereafter ending prior to any Commitments Termination Date and (iii) each Commitments Termination Date.

(d)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay the Commitment Fee with respect to any period and amount for which the Borrower is responsible for paying the Pre-Disbursement Delay Fee.

(e)

The other provisions of this Clause 5.5 shall not (but without prejudice to any Commitment Fee that has been paid by the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the First Deferred Tranche Effective Date) apply to any Lender’s Commitment in respect of the Deferred Tranches, in respect of which the Borrower agrees to pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee on the basis, and at the times, set out in (i) the relevant Fee Letter to be entered into on or about the date of Amendment and Restatement No.3 (in respect of the First Deferred Tranche) and (ii) in Amendment and Restatement No.5 (in respect of the Second Deferred Tranche).

5.6

Other Fees

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Facility Agent the fees set forth in the Fee Letters on the dates and in the amounts set forth therein.

5.7

Calculation Basis

All interest and fees under the Finance Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment Fee, the Pre-Disbursement Delay Fee and any fee payable under any Fee Letter, and excluding any “flat” fees) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year comprised of three hundred and sixty (360) days.

5.8

Currency

Except as otherwise agreed in this Agreement or in any of the other Finance Documents, all payments by the Borrower hereunder and under the other Finance Documents shall be made in Dollars. The Borrower waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Finance Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.

LIBOR-RELATED PROVISIONS; FUNDING LOSSES; INCREASED CAPITAL COSTS; TAXES; RESERVE COSTS; PAYMENTS; ETC.

6.1

LIBOR Determination; Replacement Reference Banks

The Facility Agent shall obtain from each Reference Bank timely information for the purpose of determining LIBOR in the event that LIBOR is to be determined pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition thereof. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall fail to furnish in a timely manner such information to the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent shall determine LIBOR on the basis of the information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. If a Reference Bank ceases for any reason to be able and willing to act as such, the Facility Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders and after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, appoint a replacement for such Reference Bank reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, and such replaced Reference Bank shall cease to be a Reference Bank hereunder. The Facility Agent shall furnish to the Borrower and to the Lenders each determination of LIBOR made by reference to quotations of interest rates furnished by Reference Banks.

6.2

LIBOR Lending Unlawful

If, after the date hereof, the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over any Lender asserts that it is unlawful for such Lender to make, continue or maintain the Loan (including the Deferred Tranches), its participation therein bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR, then the obligation of such Lender to make, continue or maintain its participation in the Loan shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower, the Facility Agent and each other Lender, forthwith be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, provided that such Lender’s obligation to make, continue and maintain its participation in the Loan hereunder shall be automatically converted into an obligation to make, continue and maintain its participation in the Loan bearing interest at a rate to be negotiated between such Lender and the Borrower that is the equivalent of the sum of LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period plus the applicable Floating Rate Margin.

6.3

Market Disruption

(a)

The provisions of paragraph (b) below shall apply at any time interest on the Loan (including in respect of any drawn portion of the Deferred Tranches) is payable at the Floating Rate.

(b)

If:

(i)

at or about 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Quotation Date for the relevant Interest Period, the Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine LIBOR (for the purposes of paragraph (b) of such definition) for Dollars for the relevant Interest Period; or

(ii)

before close of business in London on the Quotation Date for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives a duly evidenced notification from one or more Lenders whose aggregate participations in the Loan exceed forty two point five per cent. (42.5%) of the Loan that the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market for the relevant Interest Period would be in excess of LIBOR,

then in any such case the Facility Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and each of the Lenders together with copies of each of the notices and evidence provided to the Facility Agent pursuant to clause 6.3(b)(i) and/or 6.3(b)(ii) above (hereinafter called a “Market Disruption Notice”).

(c)

Upon the issuance of a Market Disruption Notice pursuant to paragraph (b)(i) above, the rate of interest on any affected Lender’s participation in the Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall (after consultation with the Facility Agent and the other Lenders) be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of the applicable Floating Rate Margin and the rate notified to the Facility Agent and the Borrower by such Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before the close of business in France on the second (2nd) Business Day after the Quotation Date, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Loan for the relevant Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select, the details of which shall be stated in that Lender’s notice; and

(d)

Upon the issuance of a Market Disruption Notice pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii) above, the rate of interest on each affected Lender’s participation in the Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall (after consultation with the Facility Agent and the other Lenders) be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of the applicable Floating Rate Margin and a rate that is the weighted average (in proportion to each affected Lender’s participation in the Loan) of the rates notified to the Facility Agent and the Borrower by each of the affected Lenders as soon as practicable and in any event before the close of business in France on the second (2nd) Business Day after the Quotation Date to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Loan for the relevant Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select, the details of which shall be stated in that Lender’s notice.

(e)

If a Market Disruption Notice has been issued and the Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith for a period of not more than fifteen (15) Business Days with a view to agreeing upon a mutually satisfactory interest rate and interest period (or interest periods) to be substituted for those which would otherwise have applied under this Agreement. Any such agreed and approved interest rate and interest period (or interest periods) shall, with the prior consent of the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that no substitute basis is agreed upon pursuant to this paragraph (e) by the end of the fifteen (15) Business Day period, then the rate of interest for the Loan shall continue to be the rate otherwise determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f)

In the event that the circumstances described in paragraph (a) above shall extend beyond the end of the relevant Interest Period or any other interest period agreed pursuant to paragraph (d) above or shall occur in respect of any other Interest Period or other interest period, as the case may be, the procedures described in paragraphs (b), (c) and/or (e) above, as applicable, shall apply and shall be repeated as often as may be necessary and in respect of each Interest Period or other interest period affected by such circumstances.

6.4

Increased Loan Costs, etc.

(a)

If, after the date hereof, a change in any applicable treaty, law, regulation or regulatory requirement or in the interpretation thereof or in its application to the Borrower, or the compliance by any Lender with any applicable direction, request, requirement or guideline (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or other authority, including any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority, insofar as it may be changed or imposed after the date hereof, shall:

(i)

subject any Lender to any tax with respect to its participation in the Loan or any part thereof imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (other than taxation on overall net income and, to the extent such taxes are described in Clause 6.7 (Taxes), withholding taxes); or

(ii)

change the basis of taxation to any Lender (other than a change in taxation on the overall net income of such Lender) of payments of principal or interest or any other payment due or to become due pursuant to this Agreement and/or the other Finance Documents, as applicable; or

(iii)

impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve or capital adequacy requirements (other than the increased capital costs described in Clause 6.6 (Increased Capital Costs) and the reserve costs described in Clause 6.8 (Reserve Costs)) or other banking or monetary controls or requirements which affect the manner in which a Lender shall allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder or require the making of any special deposits against or in respect of any assets or liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of, or loans by, such Lender (provided that such Lender shall, unless prohibited by law, allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder in a manner which is consistent with its present treatment of the allocation of its capital resources); or

(iv)

impose on any Lender any other condition affecting its participation in the Loan or any part thereof,

and the result of any of the foregoing is either (A) to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its participation in the Loan or any part thereof (including the Deferred Tranches), (B) to reduce the amount of any payment received by such Lender or its effective return hereunder or on its capital or (C) to cause such Lender to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, then, in any such case, if such increase or reduction in the opinion of such Lender materially affects the interests of such Lender:

(I)

such Lender shall notify the Facility Agent who shall then notify the Borrower of the occurrence of such event; and

(II)

the Borrower shall forthwith upon such demand pay to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender such amount as is necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction and ancillary expenses, including taxes, incurred as a result of such adjustment.

(b)

Any notice provided pursuant to paragraph (a)(I) above shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the event leading to such additional cost, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof and (ii) set forth the amount of such additional cost.

(c)

Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Clause 6.4 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

6.5

Funding Losses

(a)

The Borrower shall pay:

(i)

all losses or expenses incurred by each Lender in respect of the Loan which are incurred directly by reason of the liquidation or redeployment (at not less than a market rate determined reasonably by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing) of deposits or other funds acquired or contracted to be acquired by such Lender or in un-winding, breaking, terminating, closing out, cancelling, substituting or replacing or modifying any such deposits; and

(ii)

where the Fixed Rate applies, all losses and expenses pursuant to any hedging agreement or other swap or similar arrangements entered into for the purposes of or in connection with making, continuing to make or maintaining any portion of the principal amount of the Loan or pursuant to or in connection with the CIRR,

in any such case in the maximum amount specified in paragraph (c) below (“Funding Losses”) and in each case which are incurred by any Lender as a direct result of any of the following events (each a “Funding Losses Event”):

(A)

any total or partial cancellation of the Commitments by or attributable to the Borrower if such cancellation is made or occurs later than the date on which the Borrower issues the Drawing Request (which has not been withdrawn pursuant to Clause 2.6 (Delayed Delivery));

(B)

after the date on which the Borrower issues a Drawing Request, any failure of the Loan to be made in accordance with such Drawing Request, other than (I) where a Pre-Disbursement Delay has occurred, if the Loan is made within five (5) Business Days of the proposed Disbursement Date as specified in such Drawing Request or (II) to the extent attributable to the relevant Lender’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct;

(C)

any prepayment by the Borrower of all or any part of the Loan for any reason whatsoever (whether voluntary, involuntary or mandatory, including following the acceleration of the Loan), except for:

(I)

where the Floating Rate applies, any prepayment made on an Interest Payment Date; and

(II)

irrespective of whether the Floating Rate or the Fixed Rate applies, any mandatory prepayment attributable solely to the fact that the BpiFAE Insurance Policy is no longer in full force and effect, is terminated or cancelled or is no longer valid, or it is suspended for more than six (6) months, in each case where the same is due to the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the relevant Lender;

(D)

any payment not being made on its due date, including following acceleration of the Loan; or

(E)

any prepayment not being made after a notice of prepayment has been provided to the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 5.2 (Prepayment) or any other clause of this Agreement.

(b)

The Borrower shall make payment of all Funding Losses, on the later of the seventh (7th) Business Day after its receipt of a written notice of a Funding Losses Event from the Facility Agent (a “Funding Losses Notice”) and the effective date of the relevant Funding Losses Event, to the Facility Agent for the account of the relevant Lender.

(c)

The amount of the Funding Losses payable by the Borrower shall be:

(i)

the amount by which:

(A)

interest calculated by applying the Floating Rate (whether the Borrower has elected the Floating Rate or the Fixed Rate) to the amount of such Lender’s participation in the Loan received or recovered by it (or which such Lender was entitled to have received or recovered under this Agreement, as the case may be) as a result of a Funding Losses Event which would be payable by the Borrower under this Agreement if (I) such Funding Losses Event had not occurred and (II) where the Fixed Rate applies, the Borrower had elected the Floating Rate, for the period starting on the date of such Lender’s receipt or recovery of such amount (or the date on which such Lender was entitled to receive or recover such amount, as the case may be) and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (the “Relevant Period”)

exceeds

(B)

the amount which such Lender would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the amount received or recovered by it (or which it was entitled to have received or recovered, as the case may be) on deposit with a leading bank in the London interbank market for the Relevant Period; and

	(ii)	where the Fixed Rate applies, since the Lenders commit themselves irrevocably to the French Authorities in charge of monitoring the CIRR mechanism, any prepayment (whether voluntary, involuntary or mandatory, including following the acceleration of the Loan) will be subject to the mandatory payment by the Borrower of the amount calculated in liaison with the French Authorities two (2) Business Days prior to the prepayment date by taking into account the differential (the “Rate Differential”) between the CIRR and the prevailing market yield (currently ISDAFIX) for each installment to be prepaid and applying such Rate Differential to the remaining residual period of such installment and discounting to the net present value as described below. Each of these Rate Differentials will be applied to the corresponding installment to be prepaid during the period starting on the date on which such prepayment is required to be made and ending on the original Repayment Date (as adjusted following any previous prepayments) for such installment and

(A)

the net present value of each corresponding amount resulting from the above calculation will be determined at the corresponding market yield; and

(B)

if the cumulated amount of such present values is negative, no amount shall be due to the Borrower or from the Borrower.

(d)

Any Funding Losses Notice with respect to Funding Losses suffered by a Finance Party shall include calculations in reasonable detail of the relevant amounts and set forth the relevant loss and expense.

(e)

The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower, in writing, of the amount of the Funding Losses due from the Borrower by sending a Funding Losses Notice to the Borrower as soon as is reasonably practicable after the occurrence of the relevant Funding Losses Event and after it has received notice of the amount of Funding Losses calculated by the relevant Lender or the French Authorities, as applicable.

6.6

Increased Capital Costs

(a)

If, after the date hereof any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority increases the amount of capital required to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling such and the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Commitment or the Loan made by such Lender is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such change in circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by the Facility Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person, as applicable, for such reduction in rate of return.

(b)

Any notice pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the capital adequacy requirements which have been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof and (ii) set forth the amount of such lowered return.

(c)

In determining such amount, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall, subject to paragraph (b) above, deem applicable.

(d)

Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid such reduction in such rate of return and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(e)

Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Clause 6.6 (Increased Capital Costs) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

6.7

Taxes

(a)

All payments by any Obligor of principal of, and interest on, the Loan and all other amounts payable under any Finance Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under any Fee Letters) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Covered Taxes.

(b)

In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by an Obligor under any Finance Document is required in respect of any Covered Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will:

(i)

pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii)

promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) forward to the Facility Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Facility Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(iii)

pay to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(c)

If any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against the Facility Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received or paid by the Facility Agent or such Lender hereunder or under any other Finance Document, the Facility Agent or such Lender (as applicable) may pay such Covered Taxes and the Borrower will, promptly after (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of) demand, pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Covered Taxes (including any Covered Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted.

(d)

If the Borrower fails to pay any Covered Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Facility Agent for the account of the respective Lenders the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental withholding Covered Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure (so long as such amount did not become payable as a result of the failure of such Lender to provide timely notice to the Borrower (directly or through the Facility Agent) of the assertion of a liability related to the payment of Covered Taxes). For purposes of this Clause 6.7 (Taxes), a distribution hereunder by the Facility Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

(e)

If any Lender is entitled to any refund, credit, deduction or other reduction in tax by reason of any payment made by the Borrower in respect of any Covered Tax under this Clause 6.7 (Taxes) or by reason of any payment made on account of Tax by the Borrower pursuant to Clause 6.4 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), such Lender shall in its absolute discretion use reasonable efforts to obtain such refund, credit, deduction or other reduction and, promptly after receipt thereof, will pay to the Borrower such amount (plus any interest received by such Lender in connection with such refund, credit, deduction or reduction) as is equal to the net after-tax value to such Lender of such part of such refund, credit, deduction or reduction as such Lender reasonably determines is allocable to such Covered Tax or such payment (less out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender), provided that no Lender shall be obligated to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.

(f)

Each Lender agrees with the Borrower and the Facility Agent that it will:

(i)

in the case of a Lender organised under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States:

(A)

provide to the Facility Agent and the Borrower an appropriately executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that any payments made to or for the benefit of such Lender are effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States (or alternatively, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming the benefits of a tax treaty, but only if the applicable treaty described in such form provides for a complete exemption from U.S. federal income tax withholding), or any successor form, on or prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of any New Lender, on or prior to the date of the relevant assignment), in each case attached to an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, if appropriate;

(B)

notify the Facility Agent and the Borrower if the certifications made on any form provided pursuant to clause (A) above are no longer accurate and true in all material respects; and

(C)

provide such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law, if any, or as otherwise reasonably requested, to demonstrate, to the extent applicable, that payments to such Lender hereunder and under the other Finance Documents are exempt from withholding under FATCA; and

(ii)

in all cases, provide such forms, certificates or other documents, as and when reasonably requested by the Borrower, necessary to claim any applicable exemption from, or reduction of, Covered Taxes or any payments made to or for benefit of such Lender, provided that the Lender is legally able to deliver such forms, certificates or other documents.

(g)

For any period with respect to which a Lender (or New Lender) has failed to provide the Borrower with the applicable forms described in paragraph (f) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided (which, in the case of an New Lender, would be the date on which the original assignor was required to provide such form) or if such form otherwise is not required hereunder) such Lender (or New Lender) shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Clause 6.7 (Taxes) with respect to Covered Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

(h)

Without prejudice to the foregoing, all consideration expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any party thereto to a Finance Party shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT. If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to another party in connection with a Finance Document, that party shall pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (subject to such Finance Party having provided an appropriate VAT invoice to such party) or, where applicable, directly account for such VAT at the appropriate rate under the reverse charge procedure provided for by article 56 of the European Directive 2006/112/EC and any relevant Tax provision of the jurisdiction in which such party receives such supply.

(i)

Where a Finance Document requires any party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify such Finance Party against all VAT incurred by such Finance Party in respect of the costs or expenses to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of the group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment of full VAT incurred. In case such Finance Party is entitled to benefit from partial recovery of VAT incurred, it shall be indemnified and held harmless by the reimbursing party against the portion of VAT that it or any other member of the group of which it is a member for VAT purposes has not recovered or for which it has not benefited from a credit.

(j)

Each party to this Agreement shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another party hereto:

(i)

confirm to that other party whether it is:

(A)

a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(B)

not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(ii)

with effect from 2014, supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “passthru payment percentage” or other information required under the U.S. Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party’s compliance with FATCA.

(k)

If any party to this Agreement confirms to another party hereto pursuant to paragraph (j)(i)(A) 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.

(l)

If a party to this Agreement fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (j) above, then:

(i)

if that party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(ii)

if that party failed to confirm its applicable “passthru payment percentage” then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable “passthru payment percentage” is one hundred per cent. (100%),

until (in each case) such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

6.8

Reserve Costs

(a)

Without in any way limiting the Borrower’s obligations under Clause 6.5 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), the Borrower shall, on and after the First Deferred Tranche Effective Date, if applicable, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender on the last day of each Interest Period in which there remains an amount of the First Deferred Tranche, or as the case may be, the Second Deferred Tranche, outstanding, and so long as the relevant Lending Office of such Lender is required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the F.R.S. Board, upon notice from such Lender, an additional amount equal to the product of the following for the First Deferred Tranche, or as the case may be, the Second Deferred Tranche, for each day during such Interest Period:

(i)

the principal amount of the First Deferred Tranche, or as the case may be, the Second Deferred Tranche, outstanding on such day; and

(ii)

the remainder of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the rate (expressed as a decimal) at which interest accrues on the relevant Deferred Tranche for such Interest Period as provided in this Agreement (less, if applicable, the applicable Floating Rate Margin) and the denominator of which is one (1) minus any increase after the First Deferred Tranche Effective Date, or as the case may be, the Second Deferred Tranche Effective Date, in the effective rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed on such Lender minus (ii) such numerator; and

(iii)

1/360.

(b)

Such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the reserve requirement that has been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof and (ii) set forth the applicable reserve percentage.

6.9

Payments

(a)

Unless otherwise expressly provided, all payments by an Obligor pursuant to any Finance Document shall be made by such Obligor to the Facility Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment. All such payments required to be made to the Facility Agent shall be made not later than 4:00 p.m. (London time) on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds, to such account as the Facility Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b)

The Facility Agent shall promptly (but in any event on the same Business Day that the same are received or, as contemplated in paragraph (a) above, deemed received) remit in same day funds to each Lender or such Lender’s designee its share, if any, of such payments received by the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender without any set-off, deduction or counterclaim.

(c)

If the Facility Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by the Borrower under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent shall apply that payment towards the Borrower’s obligations under the Finance Documents in the following order:

(i)

first, in or towards payment of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents;

(ii)

secondly, in or towards payment pro rata among the relevant Finance Parties of any fees, costs, expenses or commission due but unpaid under this Agreement or the other Finance Documents;

(iii)

thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata among the relevant Finance Parties of any accrued interest due but unpaid under Clause 5.3(c) (Post-Maturity Rates);

(iv)

fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata among the relevant Finance Parties of any other accrued interest and deferred costs due but unpaid under this Agreement;

(v)

fifthly, in or towards payment pro rata among the Lenders of any principal due but unpaid under this Agreement; and

(vi)

sixthly, in or towards payment pro rata among the relevant Finance Parties and to the Account Bank of any other sum due to the Finance Parties and/or the Account Bank, as applicable, but unpaid under the Finance Documents,

in each case in the inverse order of the maturity thereof, provided that the Facility Agent shall, if so directed by the Required Lenders, vary the order set out in clauses (ii) to (iv) above and, provided further that any such appropriation will override any appropriation made by the Borrower.

(d)

Whenever any payment to be made under any Finance Document shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (except that, if such next succeeding Business Day does not fall in the same calendar month as the original payment due date, then the relevant payment shall be made on the last Business Day in the calendar month of the original payment due date) and any such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment. If any payment date under a Finance Document is altered by the application of this paragraph (d), the subsequent payment date shall not be altered unless that subsequent payment date also requires alteration pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(e)

For any payment of principal or interest to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Borrower shall procure that the Facility Agent receives (i) a SWIFT advice in the form of an MT 199 of such payment from the Borrower’s payment bank on or before the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the payment date and (ii) a written confirmation in the form of an MT 103 that such payment has been made from the Borrower’s payment bank by no later than 3:00 p.m. (London time) on the payment date.

6.10

No Double Counting

Any payment required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to any of Clauses 6.4 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.5 (Funding Losses), 6.6 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.7(c), (d), (h) or (i) (Taxes) or 6.8 (Reserve Costs) shall be calculated without double-counting under any other such Clauses or payment under any other provision of this Agreement, and on the basis that the Borrower shall not be liable to make any payment pursuant to any such Clause to the extent that such amount has been compensated under Clause 6.7 (Taxes) or would have been so compensated but for any exclusions applicable thereunder, is attributable to a Lender’s failure to satisfy its obligations under Clause 6.7(f) (Taxes) or is attributable to a Lender’s breach by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct of any applicable treaty, law, regulation or regulatory requirement.

6.11

Cancellation of Commitment or Prepayment of Affected Lender

If the Borrower shall be required to make any payment to any Lender pursuant to Clauses 6.3 (Market Disruption), 6.4 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.5 (Funding Losses), 6.6 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.7 (Taxes) or 6.8 (Reserve Costs), the Borrower shall be entitled at any time (so long as no Default and/or Mandatory Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing) within one hundred and eighty (180) days after receipt of notice from such Lender of such required payment to cancel or prepay the affected portion of such Lender’s Commitment or participation in the Loan (as applicable), together with (in the case of prepayment) any accrued interest thereon through the date of such prepayment. Any such prepayment shall include a prepayment of principal and interest in respect of the relevant Lender’s Commitment in relation to the Deferred Tranches.

6.12

Sharing of Payments

(a)

If a Lender (a “Recovering Party”) receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 6.9(a)(a “Recovered Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

(i)

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

(ii)

the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 6.9 (Payments), without taking account of any tax which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(iii)

the Recovering Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 6.9 (Payments).

(b)

The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Borrower and distribute it between the Lenders (other than the Recovering Party) (the “Sharing Parties”) in accordance with Clause 6.9(Payments) towards the obligations of the Borrower to the Sharing Parties.

(c)

On a distribution by the Facility Agent under paragraph (b) above of a payment received by a Recovering Party from the relevant Obligor, as between that Obligor and the Recovering Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by the relevant Obligor.

(d)

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

(i)

each Sharing Party shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of that Recovering 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 Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Party is required to pay) (the “Redistributed Amount”); and

(ii)

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

(e)

This Clause 6.12 (Sharing of Payments) shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause 6.12 (Sharing of Payments), have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

(f)

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

(i)

it notified that other Lender of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

(ii)

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

6.13

No Borrower Set-off

All payments required to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents shall be made without set-off, deduction or counterclaim.

6.14

Finance Party Set-off

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Mandatory Prepayment Event and while it is continuing, each Finance Party shall have, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations then due and owing to it any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or monies of any Obligor then or thereafter maintained with such Finance Party (collectively, the “Borrower Amounts”); provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Clause 6.12 (Sharing of Payments). If any Borrower Amount is in a different currency than the Obligations, the relevant Finance Party may convert such Borrower Amount at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. Each Finance Party agrees promptly to notify the applicable Obligor and the Facility Agent (unless such Finance Party is the Facility Agent) after any such set-off and application made by such Finance Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Finance Party under this Clause 6.14 (Finance Party Set-off) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off under applicable law or otherwise) which such Finance Party may have.

6.15

Use of Proceeds

(a)

The proceeds of the Loan shall be applied in accordance with Clause 2.2 (Purpose) and Clause 3.7 (Disbursement; Hedging Arrangements).

(b)

Without prejudice to paragraph (a) above, no proceeds of the Loan will be used to acquire any equity security of a class which is registered pursuant to section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any “margin stock”, as defined in F.R.S. Board Regulation U.

6.16

Deferred Costs

Independently of any other obligation to pay costs, expenses or interest under or in connection with this Agreement, the Borrower shall as a separate obligation, also pay to the Facility Agent (for distribution to each Lender) deferred costs in respect of any drawn portion of the First Deferred Tranche at the Deferred Costs Percentage for each Interest Period during which any part of the First Deferred Tranche remains outstanding. Whilst not an interest liability, such deferred costs shall be charged from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period in which an amount of the First Deferred Tranche is outstanding to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period, and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Repayment Date. Any deferred costs payable in accordance with this Clause 6.16 shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year comprised of 360 days.

6.17

Unavailability of Screen Rate

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Finance Document, if the Facility Agent determines (which determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive) or the Borrower or the Required Lenders notify the Facility Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that the Borrower or the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined that:

(a)

adequate and reasonable means would not exist for ascertaining (should the Floating Rate apply) the Screen Rate for the relevant Interest Period including, without limitation, because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(b)

the administrator of the Screen Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Facility Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(c)

syndicated loans currently being executed, or existing syndicated loans that include language similar to that contained in this Clause 6.17, are being executed and/or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Screen Rate,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Facility Agent or receipt by the Facility Agent of such notice, as applicable, or if the Borrower otherwise requests, the Facility Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Screen Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollars denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “Dollar Successor Rate”), and also together with any proposed Dollar Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 P.M. (London time) on the fifth (5) Business Day after the Facility Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Facility Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. Such Dollar Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Facility Agent, such Dollar Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Facility Agent.

If no Dollar Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under paragraph (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Facility Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to fund or maintain the relevant portion of the Loan (including a Deferred Tranche) at the Screen Rate (to the extent of the affected part of the Loan, the Deferred Tranches or Interest Periods) shall be suspended and the Borrower shall pay interest on such part of the Loan at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Floating Rate Margin and the weighted average of the cost to the Lenders of funding the respective portions of the affected part of the Loan (as notified to the Facility Agent and the Borrower no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the start of the relevant Interest Period). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any part of the Loan (to the extent of the affected part of the Loan, a Deferred Tranche or Interest Periods).

The Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower shall, during the period between 1 April 2021 and 30 June 2021, enter into negotiations in good faith with a view to agreeing a basis upon which a Dollar Successor Rate can be used in replacement of the Screen Rate, together with any associated Dollar Successor Rate Conforming Changes, and a timetable for the implementation of these changes so that the appropriate changes can be made prior to the Scheduled Unavailability Date.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of Dollar Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Dollar Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Dollar Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed Dollar Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Floating Rate, Screen Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Facility Agent in consultation with the Borrower, to reflect the adoption of such Dollar Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Facility Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Facility Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such Dollar Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Facility Agent determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

The Borrower shall (and shall procure that each of its Subsidiaries shall) comply with its contractual commitments under and in respect of (a) each shipbuilding contract in existence as at the First Deferred Tranche Effective Date (or which comes into existence at any time in which an amount of either Deferred Tranche remains outstanding) entered into with the Builder and (b) any option agreements or similar binding contractual commitments (whether in respect of a firm order of a vessel or otherwise) in existence at the First Deferred Tranche Effective Date (or which comes into existence at any time in which an amount of either Deferred Tranche remains outstanding) entered into by the Borrower (or its Subsidiary) and the Builder in connection with the potential entry into a shipbuilding contract at a future point in time (it being agreed that such obligation shall not require the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary (as applicable) to exercise any option or other contractual right thereunder), save that this Clause 8.10 shall be subject to any change of any such shipbuilding contract, option agreement, contract or other related document if such change has, in consultation with BpiFAE, been agreed between the Borrower or, as the case may be, relevant Subsidiary and the Builder.

Further assurances in respect of the Framework

While either Deferred Tranche is outstanding, the Borrower will from time to time at the request of the Facility Agent promptly enter into good faith negotiations in respect of (a) amending this Agreement to remove the carve-out of Clause 9.4(a) from the provisions of Clause 11.1(e) and/or (b) amending the financial covenants set forth in this Agreement, resetting the testing of such financial covenants and/or supplementing those financial covenants with additional financial covenants. A failure to reach an agreement under this paragraph following such good faith negotiations shall not constitute an Event of Default or a Mandatory Prepayment Event.

8.12

Equal treatment with Pari Passu Creditors

The Borrower undertakes with the Facility Agent that it shall ensure (and shall procure that each other Group Member shall ensure) that the Lenders are treated equally in all respects with all other Pari Passu Creditors, and accordingly:

(a) the Borrower shall enter into similar debt deferral, covenant amendment and replacement and mandatory prepayment arrangements to those contemplated by Amendment and Restatement No.5 in respect of each ECA Financing (and for this purpose excluding any ECA Financings where the lenders under that ECA Financing do not provide their consent to such arrangements in circumstances where the arrangements contemplated in respect of that ECA Financing are on substantially the same basis as set out in this Agreement (as amended by Amendment and Restatement No.5) but including any financing which will, upon novation of the relevant facility agreement to the Borrower, become an ECA Financing) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Second Deferred Tranche Effective Date (with such amendments being on terms which shall not prejudice the rights of BpiFAE under this Agreement);

(b)

the Borrower shall promptly upon written request, supply the Facility Agent with information (in a form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent) regarding the status of the amendments to be entered into in accordance with paragraph (a) above;

(c)

to enable the Borrower to comply with the requirements under paragraph (d) below, prior to any Group Member entering into any Restricted Credit Enhancement with a Pari Passu Creditor (other than a Restricted Credit Enhancement granted in accordance with Clause 9.11(a)(ii)), the Borrower shall promptly notify the Facility Agent (and such notification shall include details of the new Lien or Group Member Guarantee and shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent); and

(d)

at the same time as any relevant Restricted Credit Enhancement is provided to the relevant Pari Passu Creditor (other than a Restricted Credit Enhancement granted in accordance with Clause 9.11(a)(ii)), the Borrower, any relevant Group Member and the Lenders shall enter into such documentation as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Facility Agent to ensure that the Lenders benefit from that Restricted Credit Enhancement on the same terms as the relevant Pari Passu Creditor(s) and, where that Restricted Credit Enhancement is a Lien or a Group Member Guarantee, to share in that Lien or Group Member Guarantee on a pari passu basis (and the Lenders agree to enter into such intercreditor documentation to reflect such pari passu ranking (in a form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders (acting reasonably)) as may be required in connection with such arrangements).

(i)

subject to the limitations set out in paragraph (b) below, this paragraph (a) shall not prohibit any Group Member from providing any Lien or Group Member Guarantee in connection with Indebtedness incurred after the Second Deferred Tranche Effective Date (provided that such Lien and/or Group Member Guarantee is issued at the same time, and in connection with, the initial incurrence of that Indebtedness (and is therefore not by way of additional credit support));

(1)

with respect to any Liens, are with the same or lower priority as the Liens in respect of such assets that secured the Indebtedness being refinanced; and

(2)

in the case where the entity providing the relevant Group Member Guarantee(s) supporting such Permitted Refinancing is the same entity providing the Group Member Guarantees that are being replaced, provided by entities owning (directly or indirectly) only those Vessels (or some of those Vessels but not any other Vessel) that it owned when the previous Group Member Guarantee was provided;

(3)

in the case where the entity providing the relevant Group Member Guarantee(s) supporting such Permitted Refinancing differs from the entity providing the Group Member Guarantees being replaced, provided by entities that directly or indirectly own Vessels with an aggregate book value no greater than the Vessels that were owned (directly or indirectly) by the previous provider of the relevant Group Member Guarantee(s) that supported the existing Indebtedness; and

(4)

the same or lower priority as the original Group Member Guarantee(s) and are issued by either the same entities or from shareholders of those entities,

provided that this paragraph (a) shall not prohibit any Group Member from providing or maintaining any Lien in accordance with the provisions of Clauses 9.3(d) through to (r) inclusive, provided, however, that the proviso at the end of Clause 9.3(d) shall apply with respect to Liens granted pursuant that provision; and

If any Mandatory Prepayment Event shall occur and be continuing, the Facility Agent, upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower and without prejudice to the Borrower’s obligations in Clause 6.5 (Funding Losses), require the Borrower to prepay in full on the date of such notice:

(i)

Without prejudice to the Borrower’s indemnity obligations hereunder, each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) the Facility Agent, pro rata according to such Lender’s Commitment, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that be incurred by or asserted or awarded against the Facility Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by the Facility Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses which have resulted from the Facility Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Facility Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Facility Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Facility Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any such indemnified costs, this Clause 12.2 (Indemnity) applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Facility Agent, any Lender or any third party. The Facility Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, unless it is expressly required to do so under this Agreement or is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of the Facility Agent shall be or become, in the Facility Agent’s determination, inadequate, the Facility Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

12.3

Funding Reliance, etc.

Each Lender shall notify the Facility Agent by 9:00 a.m. (London time), one (1) day prior to the advance of the Loan if it is not able to fund the following day. Unless the Facility Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 9:00 a.m. (London time), on the day prior to the advance of the Loan that such Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its percentage (based upon its Commitment) of the Loan on the date specified therefor, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Facility Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, may, but shall not be obliged to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Facility Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay the Facility Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Facility Agent made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loan without premium or penalty.

12.4

Exculpation

The Facility Agent shall not be liable to any other Finance Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for the Facility Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. No director, officer, employee or agent of the Facility Agent shall be liable to any Finance Party other than the Facility Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in connection herewith or therewith. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Facility Agent:

141

(a)

may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts;

(b)

makes no warranty or representation to any other Finance Party and shall not be responsible to any other Finance Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement;

(c)

shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Obligors or the existence at any time of any Default, Event of Default or Mandatory Prepayment Event or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Obligors;

(d)

shall not be responsible to any other Finance Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

(e)

shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by action upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and

(f)

shall have no responsibility to the Borrower or any other Finance Party on account of:

(i)

the failure of another Finance Party or the Obligors to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Hedging Agreement;

(ii)

the financial condition of the Obligors;

(iii)

the completeness or accuracy of any statements, representations or warranties made in or pursuant to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Hedging Agreement, or in or pursuant to any document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Hedging Agreement; or

(iv)

the negotiation, execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, admissibility in evidence or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Hedging Agreement or of any document executed or delivered pursuant to or in connection with any Transaction Document or any Hedging Agreement.

142

12.5

Successor/Replacement

(a)

The Facility Agent may resign and be replaced as such by all of the Lenders at any time upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Borrower (and, in the case of a resignation, all Lenders), and a successor Facility Agent shall be appointed.

(b)

Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of a proposed successor Facility Agent under paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within two (2) Business Days, advise the existing Facility Agent in writing whether the Borrower approves or objects to such proposed successor Facility Agent; provided that, if the Borrower fails to so advise the Facility Agent in writing within such two (2) Business Days, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have approved of such proposed successor Facility Agent.

(c)

Any successor Facility Agent hereunder shall be entitled to receive from the resigning or otherwise replaced Facility Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Facility Agent may request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or otherwise replaced Facility Agent, and the resigning or otherwise replaced Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

(d)

After any resigning or otherwise replaced Facility Agent’s resignation or replacement hereunder as the Facility Agent, the provisions of:

(i)

this Clause 12 (The Facility Agent, Mandated Lead Arrangers and Documentation Bank) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Facility Agent under this Agreement; and

(ii)

Clause 13.5 (Payment of Costs and Expenses) and Clause 13.6 (Indemnification) shall continue to inure to its benefit.

(e)

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

(i)

the Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 6.7(j) and a Lender reasonably believes that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

(ii)

the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 6.7(j) or (k) indicates that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

143

(iii)

the Facility Agent notifies the Lenders and the Borrower that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

and (in each case) a Lender reasonably believes that a party hereto will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Facility Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party and that Lender, by notice to the Facility Agent, requires it to resign.

12.6

Loans by the Facility Agent

The Facility Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if the Facility Agent were not the Facility Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the other Finance Parties. The Facility Agent shall have no duty to disclose information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as the Facility Agent.

12.7

Credit Decisions

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of the Facility Agent and each other Finance Party, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial information of the Obligors, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Hedging Agreements and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitment or otherwise participate in the Loan. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Facility Agent and each other Finance Party, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the Hedging Agreements.

12.8

Copies, etc.

The Facility Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to the Facility Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Borrower). The Facility Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by the Facility Agent from the Borrower for distribution to the Lenders by the Facility Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

144

12.9

The Facility Agent’s Rights

The Facility Agent may (a) assume that all representations or warranties made or deemed repeated by the Obligors in or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document are true and complete, unless, in its capacity as the Facility Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary; (b) assume that no Default, Event of Default or Mandatory Prepayment Event has occurred unless, in its capacity as Facility Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary; (c) rely on any document or notice believed by it to be genuine; (d) rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it; (e) rely as to any factual matters which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of the Borrower on a certificate or other document signed by or on behalf of the Borrower; and (f) refrain from exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy unless and until instructed to exercise that right, power, discretion or remedy and as to the manner of such exercise by the Lenders (or, where applicable, by the Required Lenders) and unless and until it has received from the Lenders any payment which it may require on account of, or any security which it may require for, any costs, claims, expenses (including legal and other professional fees) and liabilities which it considers it may incur or sustain in complying with those instructions.

12.10

The Facility Agent’s Duties

(a)

The Facility Agent shall (i) if requested in writing to do so by a Lender, make enquiry and advise the Lenders as to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Hedging Agreement by the Borrower and/or as to the existence of a Default, Event of Default and/or Mandatory Prepayment Event and (ii) inform the Lenders promptly of any Default, Event of Default and/or Mandatory Prepayment Event of which the Facility Agent has actual knowledge.

(b)

The Facility Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of the falsehood or incompleteness of any representation or warranty made or deemed repeated by the Obligors or actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Default unless a Lender, or the Borrower, shall have given written notice thereof to the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent. Any information acquired by the Facility Agent other than specifically in its capacity as the Facility Agent shall not be deemed to be information acquired by the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent.

(c)

The Facility Agent may, without any liability to account to the Lenders, generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the Borrower or with the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or associated companies or with a Lender as if it were not the Facility Agent.

12.11

Employment of Agents

In performing its duties and exercising its rights, powers, discretions and remedies under or pursuant to this Agreement, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to:

145

(a)

employ and pay agents to do anything which the Facility Agent is empowered to do under or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including the receipt of money and documents and the payment of money); provided that, unless otherwise provided herein, including Clause 13.5 (Payment of Costs and Expenses), the employment of such agents shall be for the Facility Agent’s account; and

(b)

to act or refrain from taking action in reliance on the opinion of, or advice or information obtained from, any lawyer, banker, broker, accountant, valuer or any other Person believed by the Facility Agent in good faith to be competent to give such opinion, advice or information.

12.12

Distribution of Payments

The Facility Agent shall pay promptly to the order of each Lender such Lender’s pro rata share of every sum of money received by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Finance Documents (with the exception of any amounts which, by the terms of this Agreement or any Fee Letter, as the case may be, are payable to the Facility Agent for its own account or specifically for the account of one or more Lenders) and until so paid such amount shall be held by the Facility Agent on trust absolutely for such Lender.

12.13

Reimbursement

The Facility Agent shall have no liability to pay any sum to a Lender until it has itself received payment of that sum. If, however, the Facility Agent does pay any sum to a Lender on account of any amount prospectively due to such Lender pursuant to Clause 12.12 (Distribution of Payments) before it has itself received payment of that amount, and the Facility Agent does not in fact receive payment within five (5) Business Days after the date on which that payment was required to be made by the terms of this Agreement or the other Finance Documents, as applicable, then that Lender will, on demand by the Facility Agent and without prejudice to the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, refund to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the amount received by it, together with an amount sufficient to reimburse the Facility Agent for any amount which the Facility Agent may certify that it has been required to pay by way of interest on money borrowed to fund the amount in question during the period beginning on the date on which that amount was required to be paid by the terms of this Agreement or the other Finance Documents, as applicable, and ending on the date on which the Facility Agent receives reimbursement.

12.14

Instructions

Where the Facility Agent is authorised or directed to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders or of the Required Lenders, each of the Lenders shall provide the Facility Agent with instructions within three (3) Business Days of the Facility Agent’s request (which request may be made orally or in writing). If a Lender does not provide the Facility Agent with instructions within that period, that Lender shall be bound by the decision of the Facility Agent. Nothing in this Clause 12.14 (Instructions) shall limit the right of the Facility Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action without obtaining the instructions of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, if the Facility Agent in its discretion considers it necessary or appropriate to take, or refrain from taking, such action in order to preserve the rights of the Lenders under or in connection with this Agreement and/or the other Finance Documents. In that event, the Facility Agent will notify the Lenders of the action taken by it as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Lenders agree to ratify any action taken by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Clause 12.14 (Instructions).

146

12.15

Payments

All amounts payable to a Lender under this Clause 12 (The Facility Agent, Mandated Lead Arrangers and Documentation Bank) shall be paid to such account at such bank as that Lender may from time to time direct in writing to the Facility Agent.

12.16

“Know your customer” Checks

Each Lender shall promptly upon the request of the Facility Agent supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Facility Agent (for itself) in order for the Facility Agent to carry out and be satisfied that it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” and other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

12.17

No Fiduciary Relationship

Except as provided in Clause 12.12 (Distribution of Payments), the Facility Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with or be deemed to be a trustee of or for any other Person and nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall constitute a partnership between any two or more Lenders or between the Facility Agent and any other Person.

12.18

The Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Documentation Bank

Except as specifically provided herein, none of the Mandated Lead Arrangers or the Documentation Bank has any obligations of any kind to any Person under or in connection with any Transaction Document.

13.

agree to any change (A) to the definition of “Repayment Date” under the EUR Facility Agreement, (B) to the definition of “Business Day” under the EUR Facility Agreement (but only to the extent the same would result in a change in the definition of “Repayment Date” under the EUR Facility Agreement) or (C) that will result in a change of the payment dates of any amount of scheduled payments of principal or interest under clause 5.1(a) (as may be varied pursuant to clause 5.1(b)(ii)) or clause 5.3(a)(Rates) of the EUR Facility Agreement;

149

13.2

Exercise of Remedies

No failure or delay on the part of the Facility Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right under this Agreement or any other Finance Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Facility Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Finance Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

13.3

Mitigation, Borrower Challenges, etc.

(a)

Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with Natixis DAI relating to the CIRR), in consultation with the Borrower, to avoid any circumstances which arise and which would result in any Commitments becoming cancellable or amounts becoming payable or prepayable pursuant to Clauses 2.5 (Cancellation due to Lender Illegality), 2.7 (Automatic Cancellation), 6.3 (Market Disruption), 6.4 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.6 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.7(c), (d), (h) or (i) (Taxes), 6.8 (Reserve Costs) and/or 11.1(l) (Illegality for Lenders), including using reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with Natixis DAI relating to the CIRR) to designate a different Lending Office, if such efforts would avoid such Commitments becoming cancellable or such amounts becoming payable or prepayable, provided that, in each such case, such efforts shall not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be prejudicial or otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and/or its Affiliates.

(b)

For the avoidance of doubt, the Facility Agent shall not be required to take or omit to take any action pursuant to paragraph (a) above if it would put the Facility Agent in default under the Funds Flow Agreement (as amended by the Funds Flow Amendment).

13.6

Indemnification

(a)

The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Finance Party, the Account Bank and each of their respective Affiliates and their (and their Affiliates’) respective officers, advisors, directors and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel, which must be reasonable so long as no Event of Default is continuing), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (including in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defence in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement, the other Finance Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), except (i) to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct or is a claim, damage, loss, liability or expense which would have been compensated under other provisions of the Finance Documents but for any exclusions applicable thereunder and (ii) with respect to claims, damages, losses, liability or expenses arising solely under the Funds Flow Agreement or the Funds Flow Amendment, to the extent the same are not attributable to the Borrower’s breach of the terms thereof.

154

(b)

In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Clause 13.6 (Indemnification) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto.

(c)

Each Indemnified Party shall:

(i)

furnish the Borrower with prompt notice of any action, suit or other claim covered by this Clause 13.6 (Indemnification);

(ii)

not agree to any settlement or compromise of any such action, suit or claim without the Borrower’s prior consent;

(iii)

cooperate fully in the Borrower’s defence of any such action, suit or other claim (provided that the Borrower shall reimburse such Indemnified Party for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred pursuant hereto, which must be reasonable so long as no Event of Default is continuing); and

(iv)

at the Borrower’s request, permit the Borrower to assume control of the defence of any such claim, other than regulatory, supervisory or similar investigations, provided that:

(A)

the Borrower acknowledges in writing its obligations to indemnify such Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms herein in connection with such claims;

(B)

the Borrower shall keep such Indemnified Party fully informed with respect to the conduct of the defence of such claim;

(C)

the Borrower shall consult in good faith with such Indemnified Party (from time to time and before taking any material decision) about the conduct of the defence of such claim;

(D)

the Borrower shall conduct the defence of such claim properly and diligently taking into account its own interests and those of such Indemnified Party;

155

(E)

the Borrower shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party and at the Borrower’s expense; and

(F)

the Borrower shall not enter into a settlement with respect to such claim unless either:

(I)

such settlement involves only the payment of a monetary sum, does not include any performance by or an admission of liability or responsibility on the part of such Indemnified Party and contains a provision unconditionally releasing such Indemnified Party and each other Indemnified Party from, and holding all such Persons harmless against, all liability in respect of claims by any releasing party; or

(II)

such Indemnified Party provides written consent to such settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d)

Notwithstanding the Borrower’s election to assume the defence of an action, suit or other claim pursuant to paragraph (c) above, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defence of such action, suit or claim and the Borrower shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if:

(i)

the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent such Indemnified Party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest;

(ii)

the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Borrower and such Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be legal defences available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower and determined that it is necessary to employ separate counsel in order to pursue such defences (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defence of such action on such Indemnified Party’s behalf);

(iii)

the Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or

(iv)

the Borrower authorises such Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’s expense.

(e)

If any sum due from the Borrower 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:

(i)

making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower;

156

(ii)

obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings;

the Borrower shall as an independent obligation, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Indemnified Party to whom that Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that Indemnified Party at the time of its receipt of that Sum.

13.7

Survival

The obligations of the Borrower under Clauses 6.4 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.5 (Funding Losses), 6.6 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.7 (Taxes), 6.8 (Reserve Costs), 13.5 (Payment of Costs and Expenses) and 13.6 (Indemnification) and the obligations of the Lenders under Clause 12.2 (Indemnity), shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all Obligations. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

13.8

Severability

Any provision of any Finance Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of such Finance Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.9

Execution in Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement.

13.10

Successors and Assigns

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that:

(a)

except to the extent permitted by Clause 9.6 (Consolidation, Merger, etc.), the Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, each Lender and BpiFAE; and

(b)

the rights of sale, assignment and transfer of the Lenders are subject to Clause 13.11 (Lender Transfers, Assignments and Participations).

157

13.11

Lender Transfers, Assignments and Participations

Each Lender may transfer by novation all or any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or assign all or any such rights or sell participations in its portion of any part of the Loan or grant security over its rights under the Finance Documents to one or more other Persons in accordance with this Clause 13.11 (Lender Transfers, Assignments and Participations).

(a)

Transfers and Assignments

(i)

Any Lender, upon prior notice to BpiFAE and with the prior written consent of Natixis DAI (if the Loan is accruing interest at the Fixed Rate) and the Borrower (the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), may at any time (and from time to time) transfer by novation all or any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or assign all or any of its rights under the Finance Documents to any bank or financial institution (including any financial institution presented to the Lenders by the Borrower, which shall be subject to the approval of the Lenders (acting reasonably)) and/or to BpiFAE (any such transferee or assignee, as the case may be, a “New Lender”); provided that any New Lender (other than BpiFAE) shall, if the Fixed Rate applies, be eligible to benefit from the CIRR stabilisation.

	(ii)	Notwithstanding clause (i) above, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required:

(A)

in the case of any transfer or assignment:

(I)

to BpiFAE;

(II)

to any other existing Lender; or

(III)

by KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH to its ultimate German holding company; and/or

(B)

for any transfer or assignment during the continuation of an Event of Default under Clauses 10.1(a) (Non-Payment of Obligations), 10.1(d)(i) (Default on other Indebtedness) and 10.1(e) (Bankruptcy, Insolvency, etc.).

(iii)

The consent of the Borrower to a transfer or assignment shall be deemed to be given in the absence of a written notice delivered by the Borrower to the Facility Agent, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after receipt by the Borrower of such Lender’s request for consent, stating, in reasonable detail, the reasons why the Borrower proposes to withhold such consent.

158

(iv)

Any transfer or assignment by a Lender under this paragraph (a) (other than a transfer or assignment to BpiFAE and/or where a Default is continuing and/or where the transfer or assignment is at the Borrower’s request) shall not result in an increase of the Borrower’s obligations under Clauses 6.4 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.5 (Funding Losses), 6.6 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.7 (Taxes) and 6.8 (Reserve Costs) or any other additional costs to the Borrower which the Borrower would not have been obligated to pay to the transferring or assigning Lender had the transfer or assignment (as the case may be) not occurred.

(b)

Procedure for Transfer or Assignment

(i)

The Borrower and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the existing Lender in connection with the interests to be transferred or assigned to a New Lender until (i) such New Lender and the transferring/assigning Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Facility Agent a duly completed Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, as applicable, (ii) the Facility Agent shall have executed such Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, as applicable, and (iii) the processing fee described in clause (viii) below shall have been paid.

(ii)

Subject to the Facility Agent performing all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the New Lender, the Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, as applicable, and promptly thereafter provide a copy thereof to the Borrower.

(iii)

Any transfers or assignment must be in a minimum aggregate amount of fifteen million Dollars (USD 15,000,000) (or, if less, all of the existing Lender’s Commitment or portion of the Loan, as applicable).

(iv)

From and after the date that the Facility Agent executes the Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, as applicable, (A) the New Lender thereunder shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and/or obligations hereunder have been transferred or assigned to such New Lender in connection with such Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and/or obligations, as the case may be, of a Lender hereunder and under the other Finance Documents, and (B) the transferring/assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and/or obligations hereunder have been transferred or assigned by it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Finance Documents.

(v)

Except to the extent resulting from a change in law occurring after the date of a transfer or assignment (as the case may be), in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay to any New Lender any amount under Clauses 6.4 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.5 (Funding Losses), 6.6 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.7 (Taxes) or 6.8 (Reserve Costs) that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no such transfer or assignment been made.

159

(vi)

Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Facility 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 Transfer Date and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

(vii)

Any transferring/assigning Lender or the relevant New Lender must pay a processing fee to the Facility Agent upon delivery of any Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement in the amount of two thousand Dollars (USD 2,000) (and shall also reimburse the Facility Agent for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the assignment, unless a Default is continuing, in which case the Borrower shall be liable for such costs, fees and expenses).

(c)

Limitation on Responsibility of Existing Lenders

	(i)	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 the Borrower;

(C)

the performance and observance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

(D)

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.

(ii)

Each New Lender confirms to the relevant existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

(A)

has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower 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

160

(B)

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

(iii)

Nothing in any Finance Document obliges any existing Lender to:

(A)

accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 13.11 (Lender Transfers, Assignments and Participations); or

(B)

support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

(d)

Participations

Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions participating interests in its portion of the Loan without informing, consulting with or obtaining the consent of any other party to the Finance Documents; provided that:

(i)

no participation contemplated in this paragraph (d) shall relieve such Lender from its obligations hereunder;

(ii)

such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder;

(iii)

the Borrower and the Facility Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Finance Documents; and

(iv)

the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Clauses 6.4 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.5 (Funding Losses), 6.6 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.7 (Taxes) or 6.8 (Reserve Costs) that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold.

(e)

Lender Screen

The Facility Agent shall maintain in its internal data system an electronic file (the “Lender Screen”) identifying, at any time, (i) the then current Lenders, (ii) each such Lender’s then current Commitments or participations in the Loan, as the case may be, (iii) after the Disbursement Date, the amount of the then outstanding Loan owed to each such Lender and (iv) if applicable, the fact that such Lender acquired or sold its Commitments or participations in the Loan, as the case may be, pursuant to a Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement. The entries on the Lender Screen shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Upon reasonable prior notice, the Facility Agent shall make a screen-shot of the Lender Screen available to the Borrower and/or any Finance Party.

161

(f)

Security Over Lenders’ rights

(i)

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 13.11 (Lender Transfers, Assignments and Participations), each Lender may 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 obligations of that Lender, including:

(A)

any charge, assignment or other security to secure obligations to its federal reserve or central bank;

(B)

upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, any charge, assignment or other security to secure obligations of that Lender for the benefit of any of its Affiliates; and

(C)

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,

provided that any such charge, assignment or security shall:

(I)

be made only with the Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except if it is made pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) above in which case no such consent shall be required;

(II)

not release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or other security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; and

(III)

not require any payments to be made by the Borrower 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.

(ii)

Any Lender charging, assigning or otherwise creating security in or over any of its rights under the Finance Documents pursuant to this paragraph (f) or the relevant chargee, assignee or secured party (as applicable) shall reimburse the Facility Agent for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the relevant charge, assignment or other security.

162

(g)

Borrower’s Lender Replacement Rights

In respect of any Lender (an “affected Lender”), if the Commitments of such affected Lender become cancellable pursuant to Clause 2.5 (Cancellation due to Lender Illegality) or the Borrower is at any time required or entitled to cancel any Commitments of the affected Lender pursuant to Clause 6.11 (Cancellation of Commitment or Prepayment of Affected Lender) or prepay the affected Lender’s participation in the Loan pursuant to Clause 11.1(l) (Illegality for Lenders), the Borrower shall be entitled:

(i)

in the case of any such cancellation of Commitments, within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of the relevant underlying event (which shall be at least thirty (30) days prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date or, if the requirement to cancel is due to an illegality, such shorter period as is required by law); and

(ii)

in the case of any such prepayment, within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of the relevant underlying event or, if the requirement to prepay is due to an illegality, such shorter period as is required by law,

and (so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing) without liability for the Borrower for any premium or penalties but subject to any liability for Funding Losses to the extent provided for in Clause 6.5 (Funding Losses), to request that the affected Lender shall, and the affected Lender shall, use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with Natixis DAI relating to the CIRR) to:

(I)

in consultation with the Borrower (solely if no Default has occurred and is continuing), replace itself with one or more Affiliates and/or one or more other financial institutions (including any financial institution(s) presented to the Lenders by the Borrower, which must have a minimum rating of at least A- by Standard & Poor’s and/or A3 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇); or

(II)

transfer its Commitment and its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the other Finance Documents and the BpiFAE Insurance Policy to one or more unaffected Lenders,

in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and provided that such efforts would avoid such cancellation or prepayment and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the affected Lender, be prejudicial or otherwise disadvantageous to the affected Lender and/or its Affiliates.

This paragraph (g) is without prejudice to the Lenders’ obligations under Clause 13.3 (Mitigation, Borrower Challenges, etc.).

163

13.12

Other Transactions

Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Facility Agent or any other Finance Party from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Finance Document, with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which the Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

13.13

BpiFAE Premium

(a)

The Borrower shall exclusively bear the cost of the BpiFAE Premium. The Borrower shall pay the BpiFAE Premium to the Facility Agent (for the account of BpiFAE) with the proceeds of the disbursement of the Loan as specified in the Drawing Request.

(b)

Subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) below, the BpiFAE Premium shall be in an aggregate amount of two point three five per cent. (2.35%) of the aggregate of the amounts made available under the Facility as described in Clause 2.2(a)(i)(A) to (D). The estimated maximum amount of the BpiFAE Premium as of the date of this Agreement is set out in Clause 2.2(a)(ii).

(c)

The Borrower acknowledges that the maximum amount of the BpiFAE Premium set out in Clause 2.2(a)(ii) is based on the Maximum Loan Amount and the Final Maturity Date, and that the actual amount of the BpiFAE Premium will be equal to two point three five per cent. (2.35%) of the portion of the Loan which is actually borrowed by the Borrower in respect of the items listed in Clause 2.2(a)(i)(A) to (D). The Borrower shall make payment of the actual amount of the BpiFAE Premium notwithstanding that such actual amount may be different from the estimated maximum amount set out in Clause 2.2(a)(ii).

(d)

If the Longstop Date is extended by agreement between the Borrower and the Lenders, the BpiFAE Premium may be redetermined by BpiFAE and notified to the Borrower by the Facility Agent, and any increase thereof shall be promptly paid by the Borrower to the Facility Agent with the Borrower’s own funds.

(e)

Notwithstanding the above, a minimum premium being, as of the date of this Agreement, in an amount of one thousand five hundred and fifteen Euros (EUR 1,515) shall be paid to BpiFAE by the Borrower in respect of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy upon the execution of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy. Such amount shall remain the property of BpiFAE and is accordingly payable by the Borrower to BpiFAE in any event.

(f)

The Borrower acknowledges that the obligation to pay one hundred per cent. (100%) of the BpiFAE Premium out of, and subject to, the disbursement of the Loan (subject to paragraph (d) above) and to pay all other duly documented costs of BpiFAE incurred in connection with the BpiFAE Insurance Policy at the times required under the foregoing paragraphs of this Clause 13.13 (BpiFAE Premium) is absolute and unconditional.

164

(g)

If, following the Effective Delivery Date, the Borrower:

(i)

voluntarily prepays all or part of the Loan, BpiFAE will refund to the Facility Agent, for the account of the Lenders and ultimately the Borrower, eighty per cent. (80%) of the unexpired BpiFAE Premium (save in respect of the additional BpiFAE Premium payable in relation to any Deferred Tranche), calculated in accordance with the following formula:

R = P x (1 – (1 / (1+2.35%)) x (N / (12 * 365)) x 80%

where:

“R” means the amount of the refund;

“P” means the amount of the prepayment;

“N” means the number of days between the effective prepayment date and the Final Maturity Date; and

P x (1 – (1 / (1+2.35%)) corresponds to the share of the financed BpiFAE Premium corresponding to P; and

(ii)

prepays all or part of the Loan for any reason other than a voluntary prepayment, the Facility Agent shall promptly request that BpiFAE refund to the Facility Agent, for the account of the Lenders and ultimately the Borrower, eighty per cent. (80%) of the unexpired BpiFAE Premium, calculated in accordance with the formula set out in clause (i) above,

and in any such case, upon the Facility Agent’s receipt of any such reimbursement from BpiFAE, the full amount of such reimbursement shall be repaid by the Facility Agent to the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, should the Facility Agent not receive any such reimbursement from BpiFAE, it shall have no payment obligations towards the Borrower. However, the Facility Agent shall duly demand the payment of such reimbursement from BpiFAE in each case in which the right to such reimbursement arises under this paragraph (g).

(h)

Subject only to paragraph (g) above, the BpiFAE Premium is not refundable to the Borrower for any reason whatsoever and the portion of the Loan made for purposes of financing the BpiFAE Premium shall be repaid in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof.

165

If the appointment of the Person mentioned in this paragraph (d) ceases to be effective in respect of the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately notify the Facility Agent and appoint a further Person in England to accept service of process on its behalf in England and, failing such appointment within fifteen (15) days, the Facility Agent shall be entitled, at the cost of the Borrower, to appoint such Person by notice to the Borrower.

166

(e)

To the extent that the Borrower may in any jurisdiction claim for itself or its assets or revenues immunity from suit, execution, attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to itself, its assets or revenues such immunity (whether or not claimed), the Borrower irrevocably agrees not to claim, and irrevocably waives, such immunity to the full extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.

[I][We] hereby acknowledge on behalf of the Guarantor that, in the context of the Debt Deferral Extension Framework published by each ECA backing the Agreements, each Agreement shall be amended or, as the case may be, amended and restated pursuant to an amendment agreement (each a Vessel Loan Amendment) in order to record the agreement of the respective parties to:

add a new debt deferral tranche (the Applicable Debt Deferral Tranche) in those Agreements where there are principal repayments scheduled to occur between approximately April 2021 and March 2022 (or, in the case of the facility agreement for m.v. “Ovation of the Seas”, approximately between May 2021 and April 2022) (in each case, the Applicable Debt Deferral Period), in order to effectively defer principal repayments due under each Agreement falling due during such Applicable Debt Deferral Period, which Applicable Debt Deferral Tranche shall, in the case of each relevant Agreement:

be in an amount of approximately the aggregate principal amount of the repayment installments falling due under such relevant Agreement during the Applicable Debt Deferral Period applicable to it (including payments due during such period on any first debt deferral if and to the extent already agreed); and

ii.

bear interest on the terms provided in that Vessel Loan Amendment;

extend the waiver of the applicable Borrower’s compliance with the financial covenants set forth in each Agreement:

in each case where the relevant Agreement is BpiFAE-backed, through the end of the third quarter of 2022; and

ii.

in each case where the relevant Agreement is Hermes and/or Finnvera-backed, through to the end of the fourth quarter of 2022,

any adjustments to the financial, indebtedness, negative pledge or other covenants as are required by the relevant Lenders and ECAs in order to give effect to the amendments contemplated in (a) and (b) above.

This Certificate is one of the “certificates” required to be provided pursuant to clause 3.1(b) of each Vessel Loan Amendment and in the context of the requirements of clause 3.1(b) of each Vessel Loan Amendment, [I][we] hereby further acknowledge and confirm on behalf of the Guarantor the following:

the Guarantee given by the Guarantor in each Agreement shall extend to any new obligations assumed by the Borrower under such Agreement as amended by the Vessel Loan Amendment applicable to it (including pursuant to the Applicable Debt Deferral Tranche) and the floating rate applicable to such Applicable Debt Deferral Tranche (as more particularly set out in sub-paragraphs (i) and (ii) of 3(a) above)); and

continuing to guarantee the amended obligations of the Borrower under the Agreements as amended by the Vessel Loan Amendment applicable to it does not cause any borrowing, guaranteeing or similar limit binding on the Guarantor to be exceeded.

[I][We] hereby confirm that:

the copy of the certificate or articles of incorporation, formation or organization or other comparable organizational document of the Guarantor (collectively, the Organizational Documents); and

the by-laws or operating, management or similar agreements of the Guarantor (collectively, the Operating Documents),

Less than a majority of the shareholders of the Guarantor hereto by vote or value are resident in Liberia.][7 and 8 to be included in the Certificate for RCL Cruise Holdings LLC and RCI Holdings LLC only as Liberian entities]

the Borrower will not permit:

any of its Non-Principal Subsidiaries to incur any Indebtedness other than Permitted Non-Principal Subsidiary Indebtedness; and

(b)

Paragraph (a) above shall not, however, prohibit any Indebtedness or Lien provided that (but again having regard, in the case of any ECA Financed Vessel, to Clause 9.12) immediately following the incurrence (including any Group Member Guarantees) of the Indebtedness or Lien (as applicable):

(iii)

in the event the Senior Debt Rating of the Borrower is below Investment Grade as given by both ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and S&P (determined at the time of creation of the Lien or the granting of a Group Member Guarantee (as applicable)):

the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness secured by first priority Liens (excluding Permitted Liens) granted by any Group Member does not exceed 5% of the total assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole as determined in accordance with GAAP as at the last day of the most recent ended Fiscal Quarter;

the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness secured by second (or lower) priority Liens (excluding Permitted Liens) granted by any Group Member does not exceed 5% of the total assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole as determined in accordance with GAAP as at the last day of the most recent ended Fiscal Quarter; and

Clause 9.3 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with “Intentionally Omitted”.

A new Clause 9.12 shall be inserted as follows:

Clause 9.12 Negative Pledge Over ECA Financed Vessels

For the purposes of this Clause 9.12:

“repaid” means scheduled repayments or voluntary or mandatory prepayment and not repayments arising following the acceleration of the relevant ECA Financing after the occurrence of an Event of Default; and

“credit support” means a Lien over any ECA Financed Vessel granted by any Group Member or a Group Member Guarantee from a Group Member (other than the Borrower) that owns (directly or indirectly) any ECA Financed Vessel.

In connection with the granting of any Lien or Group Member Guarantee pursuant to Clause 9.2(b) above, no Group Member shall use any ECA Financed Vessel as credit support in respect of any Indebtedness except:

(i) if more than 75.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness originally incurred under the ECA Financing in respect of that ECA Financed Vessel has been repaid by the relevant Group Member, that Group Member shall be entitled to grant credit support over or in respect of that ECA Financed Vessel on the basis, and in compliance with the terms of, Clause 9.2(b); and

(ii) if an amount equal to or higher than 15.0% but less than or equal to 75% of the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness originally incurred under the ECA Financing in respect of that ECA Financed Vessel has been repaid by the relevant Group Member (determined at the time the relevant credit support is provided), the relevant Group Member shall be entitled to provide such credit support over that ECA Financed Vessel on the basis of, and subject to the compliance with, the terms of, Clause 9.2(b), provided that the amount of Indebtedness secured or supported (as applicable) by that credit support shall not exceed an amount equal to FV x (A / B) where:

FV = the fair value of that ECA Financed Vessel at the time of the provision of that credit support (as evidenced by the information to be provided pursuant to sub-paragraph (v) below);

A = the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred under the ECA Financing in respect of that ECA Financed Vessel which has been repaid by the relevant Group Member at the time the credit support is provided; and

B = the amount of Indebtedness originally incurred by the relevant Group Member under the ECA Financing in respect of that ECA Financed Vessel,

it being acknowledged and agreed that:

(iii) where the relevant credit support being provided in accordance with this Clause 9.12 is a Group Member Guarantee from a Group Member that owns (directly or indirectly) one or more ECA Financed Vessels but does not own (directly or indirectly) any other Vessels, the amount of Indebtedness that can be supported by such Group Member Guarantee shall be equal to the aggregate amount of Indebtedness that would be permitted to be secured under this Clause 9.12 if, instead of a Group Member Guarantee, each relevant Principal Subsidiary owning each relevant ECA Financed Vessel was to provide a Lien as credit support in respect of that Indebtedness;

(iv) where the relevant credit support being provided in accordance with this Clause 9.12 is a Group Member Guarantee from a Group Member that owns (directly or indirectly) one or more ECA Financed Vessels and other Vessels, the restrictions contained in this Clause 9.12 as to the amount of the Indebtedness that can be supported by such credit support must be preserved at all times and, not later than five Business Days after the date upon which that Group Member grants the relevant Group Member Guarantee, the Borrower shall notify the Facility Agent in writing of such event and shall provide any information as may be reasonably requested by the Facility Agent to verify that the requirements of this Clause 9.12 have been complied with following the provision of such Group Member Guarantee; and

(v) not later than five Business Days after the date upon which a Group Member provides any credit support, the Borrower shall provide the Facility Agent with evidence as to its compliance with this Clause 9.12, which evidence shall include all required calculations and other information required by the Facility Agent (acting reasonably) to determine such compliance; and

(vi) no Group Member shall be entitled to use any ECA Financed Vessel as credit support in the manner contemplated by this Clause 9.12:

(A)

until such time as the relevant Group Member has repaid at least 15.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness originally incurred under the ECA Financing in respect of that ECA Financed Vessel; and/or

(B)

at any time in which a Default has occurred and is continuing.
