2.05 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

Any interest accruing under this Section 2.06(b) shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Facility Agent.

-32-

(c) At any time when interest is payable at the Floating Rate, if any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of a Floating Rate Interest Period relating to that Loan:

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

(ii) the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be [*] plus the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

(d) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

(e) Accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable in respect of each Loan on each Fixed Interest Payment Date (if interest is payable on the Loan at the Fixed Rate) or, if interest is payable on the Loan at the Floating Rate, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, on any repayment or prepayment date (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(f) At any time when interest is payable on the Loan at the Floating Rate, upon each Interest Determination Date, the Facility Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the Loans to be made pursuant to the applicable Borrowing and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the respective Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(g) At any time when interest is payable on the Loan at the Fixed Rate, the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender on demand for the amount by which the 6 month Eurodollar Rate for any Fixed Rate Interest Period plus the fee for administrative expenses of [*] per annum for such Fixed Rate Interest Period plus [*] per annum less the Fixed Rate exceeds [*] per annum (being the amount by which the interest make-up is limited under Section 1.1 of the CIRR General Terms and Conditions).

2.07 Election of Floating Rate.

(a) By written notice to the Facility Agent delivered prior to the earlier of (i) 5 days from the date of execution of this Agreement and (ii) 5 Business Days prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, the Borrower may elect, without incurring any liability to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.10 or to pay any other indemnity or compensation obligation, to pay interest on the Loans at the Floating Rate.

-33-

2.08 Floating Rate Interest Periods. This Section 2.08 shall only apply if the Borrower has elected to pay interest at the Floating Rate pursuant to Section 2.07. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing in respect of the making of Loans by the Lenders (in the case of the initial Floating Rate Interest Period (as defined below) applicable thereto) or on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of a Floating Rate Interest Period applicable to such Loans (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), it shall have the right to elect, by giving the Facility Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each a “Floating Rate Interest Period”) applicable to such Loans, which Floating Rate Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a three or six month period; provided that:

(a) subject to paragraph (b) below, all Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Floating Rate Interest Period;

(b) the initial Floating Rate Interest Period for any Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Loan and each Floating Rate Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Loan shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding Floating Rate Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(c) if any Floating Rate Interest Period relating to a Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Floating Rate Interest Period, such Floating Rate Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(d) if any Floating Rate Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Floating Rate Interest Period shall expire on the first succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Floating Rate Interest Period for a Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Floating Rate Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

(e) no Floating Rate Interest Period longer than three months may be selected at any time when an Event of Default (or, if the Facility Agent or the Required Lenders have determined that such an election at such time would be disadvantageous to the Lenders, a Default) has occurred and is continuing;

(f) no Floating Rate Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date; and

(g) at no time shall there be more than ten Borrowings of Loans subject to different Floating Rate Interest Periods.

If upon the expiration of any Floating Rate Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Floating Rate Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected a three month Floating Rate Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Floating Rate Interest Period.

-34-

2.09 Increased Costs, Illegality, Market Disruption, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs (including, without limitation, pursuant to Basel II and/or Basel III to the extent Basel II and/or Basel III, as the case may be, is applicable), Mandatory Costs (as set forth on Schedule 1.01(b)) or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan because of, without duplication, any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, governmental regulation, governmental order, governmental guideline or governmental request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, governmental regulation, governmental order, governmental guideline or governmental request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Loan or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender, or any franchise tax based on net income or net profits, of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which such Lender’s principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), but without duplication of any amounts payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to Section 4.04, or (B) a change in official reserve requirements; or

(ii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Loan has been made unlawful by any law or governmental rule, governmental regulation or governmental order;

then, and in any such event, such Lender shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Facility Agent of such determination (which notice the Facility Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the Borrower agrees (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased costs or reductions to such Lender or such other corporation and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.09(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.09(a) shall, absent manifest error be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.09(a), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amounts; provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b), the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower from its Credit Document Obligations hereunder.

(b) At any time that any Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.09(a)(i) or (ii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Loan affected by the

-35-

circumstances described in Section 2.09(a)(ii) shall) either (x) if the affected Loan is then being made initially, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Facility Agent notice in writing on the same date or the next Business Day that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Facility Agent pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(i) or (ii) or (y) if the affected Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Facility Agent, in the case of any Loan, repay all outstanding Borrowings (within the time period required by the applicable law or governmental rule, governmental regulation or governmental order) which include such affected Loans in full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 4.02; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.09(b).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date (i) the introduction of or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, governmental regulation, governmental order, governmental guideline, governmental directive or governmental request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender, based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, (ii) compliance with any law or regulation or any request from or requirement of any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority made after the Effective Date (including any which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which a Lender allocates capital resources to obligations under this Agreement, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement and/or any Other Hedging Agreement) or (iii) to the extent that such change is not discretionary and is pursuant to law, a governmental mandate or request, or a central bank or other fiscal or monetary authority mandate or request, any change in the risk weight allocated by such Lender to the Borrower after the Effective Date, then the Borrower agrees (to the extent applicable) to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.09(c) shall, absent manifest error be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.09(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts; provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(b), the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Borrower from its Credit Document Obligations hereunder.

(d) This Section 2.09(d) applies at any time when interest on the Loan is payable at the Floating Rate. If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to any Lender’s share of a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

(i) the Applicable Margin;

-36-

(ii) the rate determined by such Lender and notified to the Facility Agent by 5:00 P.M. (Frankfurt time) on the Interest Determination Date for such Interest Period to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to each such Lender of funding its participation in that Loan for a period equivalent to such Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select; provided that the rate provided by a Lender pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not be disclosed to any other Lender and shall be held as confidential by the Facility Agent and the Borrower; and

(iii) the Mandatory Costs, if any, applicable to such Lender of funding its participation in that Loan.

(e) This Section 2.09(e) applies at any time when interest on the Loan is payable at the Floating Rate. If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the Borrower so require, the Facility Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties. If no agreement is reached pursuant to this clause (e), the rate provided for in clause (d) above shall apply for the entire applicable Interest Period.

(f) If any Reference Bank ceases to be a Lender under this Agreement, (x) it shall cease to be a Reference Bank and (y) the Facility Agent shall, with the approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Borrower, nominate as soon as reasonably practicable another Lender to be a Reference Bank in place of such Reference Bank.

2.10 Indemnification; Breakage Costs. (a) When interest on the Loan is payable at the Floating Rate, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender, within two Business Days of demand (in writing which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting and the calculation of such amount and which in the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive evidence as to the amount due), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any such loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain in respect of Loans made to the Borrower: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Facility Agent) a Borrowing of Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.09(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 2.09(a), Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 (in each case other than on the expiry of a Floating Rate Interest Period) or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) of any of its Loans, or assignment and/or transfer of its Loans pursuant to Section 2.12, occurs on a date which is not the last day of a Interest Period with respect thereto; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

(b) When interest on the Loan is payable at the Fixed Rate, and at the time of any prepayment or commitment reduction pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.05 or 4.01 or any

-37-

mandatory repayment or commitment reduction pursuant to Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender, within two Business Days of demand in writing, which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting and the calculation of such amount and which in the absence of manifest error shall be conclusive evidence as to the amount due, for all losses, expenses and liabilities which such Lender may sustain in respect of the early repayment or prepayment of the Loans made to the Borrower including, without limitation, the costs of breaking deposits or re-employing funds under any swap agreements or interest rate arrangement products entered into in respect of the Loans or any prepayment compensation as set forth in the CIRR General Terms and Conditions, it being understood that for this purpose clause 8.3 of the CIRR General Terms and Conditions shall be read as “the interest calculated based on the Fixed Rate [*] less the fee for administrative expenses [*] less [*] that would have accrued if the agreement had been fulfilled from the time of cancellation of the Guarantee until the end of the overall term”.

(c) It is understood and agreed that no amounts under this Section 2.10 will be payable by the Borrower if the Total Commitment is terminated no later than the 5 days from the date of execution of this Agreement.

2.11 Change of Lending Office; Limitation on Additional Amounts. (a) Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.09 (a), Section 2.09(b), or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable good faith efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event or otherwise take steps to mitigate the effect of such event, provided that such designation shall be made and/or such steps shall be taken at the Borrower’s cost and on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage in excess of de minimus amounts, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender provided in Section 2.09 and Section 4.04.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04 of this Agreement, unless a Lender gives notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under any such Section within 180 days of the later of (x) the date the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (y) the date such Lender has knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender shall only be entitled to be indemnified for such amount by the Borrower pursuant to said Section 2.09, 2.10, or 4.04, as the case may be, to the extent the costs, Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs 180 days prior to such Lender giving notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to said Section 2.09, 2.10 or 4.04, as the case may be. This Section 2.11(b) shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than said Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 4.04.

-38-

2.12 Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Loans, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.09(a) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower material increased costs in excess of the average costs being charged by the other Lenders, or (z) as provided in Section 14.11(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall (for its own cost) have the right, if no Default or Event of Default will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) (subject to the consent of (a) the CIRR Representative if at such time interest is payable at the Fixed Rate and (b) the Hermes Agent) with one or more other Eligible Transferee or Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent (it being understood that all then-existing Lenders are reasonably acceptable); provided that:

(a) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Transfer Certificates pursuant to Section 13.01(a) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.02 to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum (without duplication) of (x) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, and (y) an amount equal to all accrued, but unpaid, Commitment Commission owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.01;

(b) all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (a) above) in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement; and

(c) if the Borrower elects to replace any Lender pursuant to clause (x), (y) or (z) of this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall also replace each other Lender that qualifies for replacement under such clause (x), (y) or (z).

Upon the execution of the respective Transfer Certificate and the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.09, 2.10, 4.04, 14.01 and 14.05), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

-39-

2.13 Disruption to Payment Systems, Etc. If either the Facility Agent determines (in its discretion) that a Disruption Event has occurred or the Facility Agent is notified by the Parent or the Borrower that a Disruption Event has occurred:

(i) the Facility Agent may, and shall if requested to do so by the Borrower or the Parent, consult with the Borrower with a view to agreeing with the Borrower such changes to the operation or administration of this Agreement as the Facility Agent may deem necessary in the circumstances;

(ii) the Facility Agent shall not be obliged to consult with the Borrower or the Parent in relation to any changes mentioned in clause (i) above if, in its opinion, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances and, in any event, shall have no obligation to agree to such changes;

(iii) the Facility Agent may consult with the other Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders in relation to any changes mentioned in clause (i) above but shall not be obliged to do so if, in its opinion, it is not practicable or necessary to do so in the circumstances;

(iv) any such changes agreed upon by the Facility Agent and the Borrower or the Parent pursuant to clause (i) above shall (whether or not it is finally determined that a Disruption Event has occurred) be binding upon the parties to this Agreement as an amendment to (or, as the case may be, waiver of) the terms of the Credit Documents, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.11, until such time as the Facility Agent is satisfied that the Disruption Event has ceased to apply;

(v) the Facility Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Facility Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this Section 2.13; and

(b) Each Lender agrees (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file any certificate or document or to furnish to the Borrower any information as reasonably requested by the Borrower that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, any Taxes; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.04(b) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations). The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender for Taxes attributed to such Lender’s failure to provide the required documents under this Section 4.04(b).

(c) If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 4.04 to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that such Lender shall, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by such Lender in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit, (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Lender that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.04 without any exclusions or defenses and (iii) nothing in this Section 4.04(c) shall require any Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns).

4.05 Application of Proceeds. (a) All proceeds collected by the Collateral Agent upon any sale or other disposition of such Collateral of each Credit Party, together with all other proceeds received by the Collateral Agent under and in accordance with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (except to the extent released in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document), shall be applied by the Facility Agent to the payment of the Secured Obligations as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent or any other Agent of the type described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of “Secured Obligations”;

(ii) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (i), an amount equal to the outstanding Credit Document Obligations shall be paid to the Lender Creditors as provided in Section 4.05(d) hereof, with each Lender Creditor receiving an amount equal to such outstanding Credit Document Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Credit Document Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed;

-45-

(iii) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount equal to the outstanding Other Obligations shall be paid to the Other Creditors as provided in Section 4.05(d) hereof, with each Other Creditor receiving an amount equal to such outstanding Other Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Other Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; and

(iv) fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and following the termination of this Agreement, the Credit Documents, the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and the Other Hedging Agreements in accordance with their terms, to the relevant Credit Party or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Creditor’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor’s Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be.

(c) If any payment to any Secured Creditor of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured Creditors, with each Secured Creditor whose Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, of such Secured Creditor and the denominator of which is the unpaid Credit Document Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured Creditors entitled to such distribution.

(d) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Facility Agent under this Agreement for the account of the Lender Creditors, and (y) if to the Other Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the Other Creditors.

(e) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 4.05, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Facility Agent under this Agreement and (ii) the Representative for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Other Creditors for a determination (which the Facility Agent, each Representative for any Other Creditors and the Secured Creditors agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Credit Document Obligations and Other Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Other Creditors, as the case may be.

-46-

Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from an Other Creditor) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements are in existence.

(f) It is understood and agreed that each Credit Party shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged by it under and pursuant to the Security Documents and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations of such Credit Party.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agents to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates and, may transfer from time to time any or all of its rights, duties and obligations hereunder and under the relevant Credit Documents (in accordance with the terms thereof) to any of its banking affiliates.

12.03 Lack of Reliance on the Agents. Independently and without reliance upon the Agents, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and (iii) its own appraisal of the Hermes Cover and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Agents shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. None of the Agents shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Credit Document, the Hermes Cover or the financial condition of the Credit Parties or any of them or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, any other Credit Document, the Hermes Cover, or the financial condition of the Credit Parties or any of them or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

12.05 Reliance. Each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the applicable Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement, any other Credit Document, the Hermes Cover and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Facility Agent.

12.06 Indemnification. To the extent any of the Agents is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the applicable Agents, in proportion to their respective “percentages” as used in determining the Required Lenders (without regard to the existence of any Defaulting Lenders), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Agents in performing their respective duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.07 The Agents in their Individual Capacities. With respect to its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, each of the Agents shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lenders,” “Secured Creditors”, “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each of the Agents in their respective individual capacity. Each of the Agents may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

(i) with the consent of the Hermes Agent and the written consent of the Federal Republic of Germany, where required according to the applicable Hermes General Terms and Conditions (Allgemeine Bedingungen) and the supplementary provisions relating to the assignment of Guaranteed Amounts (Ergänzende Bestimmungen für Forderungsabtretungen-AB (FAB)), assign any of its rights or transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Document to which it is a party (including, without limitation, all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate for such Lender’s rights and obligations), to (x) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such assigning or transferring Lender which is at least 50% owned (directly or indirectly) by such Lender or its parent company or (y) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor, or

-87-

(ii) with the consent of the Hermes Agent, the written consent of the Federal Republic of Germany, where required according to the applicable Hermes General Terms and Conditions (Allgemeine Bedingungen) and the supplementary provisions relating to the assignment of Guaranteed Amounts (Ergänzende Bestimmungen für Forderungsabtretungen-AB (FAB)) and consent of the Borrower (which consent, in the case of the Borrower (x) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (y) shall not be required if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time and (z) shall be deemed to have been given ten Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it in writing unless consent is expressly refused by the Borrower within that time) assign any of its rights in or transfer by novation any of its rights in and obligations under all of its Commitments and outstanding Loans, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate for such Existing Lender’s rights and obligations, hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in bank loans and any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee),

each of which assignees or transferees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of (I) an Assignment Agreement (in the case of assignments) and (II) a Transfer Certificate (in the case of transfers under Section 13.06); provided that (x) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such New Lender and of the Existing Lenders, (y) the consent of the Facility Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment or transfer pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (z) the consent of the CIRR Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment or transfer pursuant to preceding clause (i) or (ii) if the New Lender elects to become a Refinanced Bank; and provided, further, that at no time shall a Lender assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to a hedge fund, private equity fund, insurance company or other similar or related financing institution that is not in the primary business of accepting cash deposits from, and making loans to, the public.

13.11 Lender Participations. (a) Although any Lender may grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer by novation its rights and obligations or assign its rights under all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.12 and 13.01) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and

In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

13.12 Increased Costs.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless each of the Agents or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

14.02 Right of Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other

-94-

Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent but in any event excluding assets held in trust for any such Person against and on account of the Credit Document Obligations and liabilities of the Parent or such Subsidiary of the Parent, as applicable, to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Credit Document Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 14.05(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Credit Document Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender upon the exercise of its rights to set-off pursuant to this Section 14.02 shall give notice thereof to the Facility Agent.

14.03 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telexed, telegraphic, telecopier or electronic (unless and until notified to the contrary) communication) and mailed, telexed, telecopied, delivered or electronic mailed: if to any Credit Party, at the address specified on Schedule 14.03A; if to any Lender, at its address specified opposite its name on Schedule 14.03B; and if to the Facility Agent or the Hermes Agent, at its Notice Office; or, as to any other Credit Party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Parent, the Borrower and the Facility Agent; provided that, with respect to all notices and other communication made by electronic mail or other electronic means, the Facility Agent, the Hermes Agent, the Lenders, the Parent, the Borrower and the Pledgor agree that they (x) shall notify each other in writing of their electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt of information by that means and (y) shall notify each other of any change to their address or any other such information supplied by them. All such notices and communications shall, (i) when mailed, be effective three Business Days after being deposited in the mails, prepaid and properly addressed for delivery, (ii) when sent by overnight courier, be effective one Business Day after delivery to the overnight courier prepaid and properly addressed for delivery on such next Business Day, (iii) when sent by telex or telecopier, be effective when sent by telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Facility Agent or the Hermes Agent shall not be effective until received by the Facility Agent or the Hermes Agent (as the case may be), or (iv) when electronic mailed, be effective only when actually received in readable form and in the case of any electronic communication made by a Lender, the Parent, the Borrower or the Pledgor to the Facility Agent or the Hermes Agent, only if it is addressed in such a manner as the Facility Agent shall specify for this purpose. A copy of any notice to the Facility Agent shall be delivered to the Hermes Agent at its Notice Office. If an Agent is an Impaired Agent the parties to this Agreement may, instead of communicating with each other through such Agent, communicate with each other directly and (while such Agent is an Impaired Agent) all the provisions of the Credit Documents which require communications to be made or notices to be given to or by such Agent shall be varied so that communications may be made and notices given to or by the relevant parties to this Agreement directly. This provision shall not operate after a replacement Agent has been appointed.

-95-

14.04 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of an Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and an Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which an Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of an Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

14.05 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Facility Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Credit Document Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Credit Document Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Other than in connection with assignments and participations (which are governed by Section 13), each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Commitment Commission, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Credit Document Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Credit Document Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Credit Document Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 14.05(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

-96-

14.06 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Parent to the Lenders). In addition, all computations determining compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Sections 10.06 through 10.09, inclusive, shall utilize accounting principles and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the historical financial statements delivered to the Lenders for the fiscal year of the Parent ended December 31, 2011 (with the foregoing generally accepted accounting principles, subject to the preceding proviso, herein called “GAAP”). Unless otherwise noted, all references in this Agreement to “generally accepted accounting principles” shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as in effect in the United States.

(b) All computations of interest and Commitment Commission hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Commitment Commission are payable.

14.07 Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction of English Courts; Service of Process (a) This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law.

(b) The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this agreement (including a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) (a “Dispute”). The parties hereto agree that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle disputes and accordingly no party hereto will argue to the contrary. This section 14.07 is for the benefit of the Lenders, Agents and Secured Creditors. As a result, no such party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, the Lenders, Agents and Secured Creditors may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

(c) Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Credit Party (other than a Credit Party incorporated in England and Wales): (i) irrevocably appoints EC3 Services Limited, having its registered office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with any credit document and (ii) agrees that failure by an agent for service of process to notify the relevant Credit Party of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. If any person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Parent (on behalf of all the Credit Parties) must immediately (and in any event within five days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the facility agent. Failing this, the Facility Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose.

-97-

Each party to this Agreement expressly agrees and consents to the provisions of this Section 14.07.

14.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Facility Agent.

14.09 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall take effect as a deed on the date (the “Effective Date”) on which (i) the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Agents and each of the Lenders who are initially parties hereto shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered the same to the Facility Agent or, in the case of the Lenders and the other Agents, shall have given to the Facility Agent written or facsimile notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been signed and mailed to it, (ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Facility Agent for its own account and/or the account of Lenders and/or Agents, as the case may be, the fees required to be paid pursuant to the heads of terms, dated September 14, 2012, among the Parent and KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH (the “Heads of Terms”) and (iii) the Credit Parties shall have provided (x) the “Know Your Customer” information required pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.: 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”) and (y) such other documentation and evidence necessary in order to carry out and be reasonably satisfied with other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the Transaction and the Hermes Cover, in each case as requested by the Facility Agent, the Hermes Agent or any Lender in connection with each of the Facility Agent’s, the Hermes Agent’s, Hermes’ and each Lender’s internal compliance regulations. The Facility Agent will give the Parent, the Borrower and each Lender prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

14.10 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

14.11 Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party thereto, the Hermes Agent and the Required Lenders, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, extend the timing for or reduce the principal amount of any Scheduled Repayment, increase or extend any Commitment (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of

-98-

a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender), or reduce the rate (including, without limitation, the Applicable Margin and the Fixed Rate) or extend the time of payment of interest on any Loan or Commitment Commission or fees (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (y) any amendment or modification to the definitions used in the financial covenants set forth in Sections 10.06 through 10.09, inclusive, in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i)), or reduce the principal amount thereof (except to the extent repaid in cash), (ii) release any of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under any of the Security Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 13 or this Section 14.11, (iv) change the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Effective Date) or a provision which expressly requires the consent of all the Lenders, (v) consent to the assignment and/or transfer by the Parent and/or Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (vi) replace the Parent Guaranty or release the Parent Guaranty from the relevant guarantee to which such Guarantor is a party (other than as provided in such guarantee); provided, further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (u) without the consent of Hermes, amend, modify or waive any provision that relates to the rights or obligations of Hermes and (v) without the consent of each Agent, the CIRR Representative and/or each Lead Arranger, as applicable, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of such Agent, the CIRR Representative and/or such Lead Arranger, as applicable.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 14.11(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders are treated as described in either clauses (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitment (if such Lender’s consent is required as a result of its Commitment), and/or repay outstanding Loans and terminate any outstanding Commitments of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent, in accordance with Section 4.01(d), provided that, unless the Commitments are terminated, and Loans repaid, pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Required Lenders (determined before giving effect to the proposed action) and the Hermes Agent shall specifically consent thereto, provided, further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 14.11(a).

-99-

14.12 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.09, 2.10, 2.11, 4.04, 14.01 and 14.05 shall, subject to Section 14.13 (to the extent applicable), survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Loans.

14.13 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 14.13 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.09, 2.10, or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

14.14 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will use its best efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Parent or the Borrower (other than to their respective Affiliates or their respective Affiliates’ employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company, Affiliates or board of trustees in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.14 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that the Hermes Agent and the CIRR Agent may disclose any information to Hermes or the CIRR Representative, provided, further, that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 14.14 by the respective Lender, (b) as may be required in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or similar organizations (whether in the United States, the United Kingdom or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (e) to an Agent, (f) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee expressly agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 14.14 and (g) to Hermes and/or the Federal Republic of Germany and/or the European Union and/or any agency thereof or any person acting or purporting to act on any of their behalves. In the case of Section 14.14(g), each of the Parent and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such information may be used by Hermes and/or the Federal Republic of Germany and/or the European Union and/or any agency thereof or any person acting or purporting to act on any of their behalves for statistical purposes and/or for reports of a general nature.

-100-

14.15 Register. The Facility Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment and prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the assignment or transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such assignment or transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Facility Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans. Prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of an assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans (as the case may be) shall be recorded by the Facility Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Facility Agent of a properly executed and delivered Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 13.06(a) or 13.07(a), respectively.

14.16 Third Party Rights. Other than the Other Creditors with respect to Section 4.05 and Hermes with respect to Sections 5.15 and 9.06, a person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to enforce or enjoy the benefit of any term of this Agreement unless expressly provided to the contrary in a Credit Document. Notwithstanding any term of any Credit Document, the consent of any person who is not a party to this Agreement is not required to rescind or vary this Agreement at any time.

14.17 Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Facility Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Facility Agent’s Frankfurt office on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or an Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or an Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or an Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency; if the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or an Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or an Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender or an Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, such Lender or an Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

-101-

14.18 Language. All correspondence, including, without limitation, all notices, reports and/or certificates, delivered by any Credit Party to an Agent or any Lender shall, unless otherwise agreed by the respective recipients thereof, be submitted in the English language or, to the extent the original of such document is not in the English language, such document shall be delivered with a certified English translation thereof. In the event of any conflict between the English translation and the original text of any document, the English translation shall prevail unless the original text is a statutory instrument, legal process or any other document of a similar type or a notice, demand or other communication from Hermes or in relation to the Hermes Cover.

14.19 Waiver of Immunity. The Borrower, in respect of itself, each other Credit Party, its and their process agents, and its and their properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of its or their properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity from any legal proceedings, whether in the United Kingdom, the United States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Germany or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Credit Document Obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, the Borrower, for itself and on behalf of the other Credit Parties, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United Kingdom, the United States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Germany or elsewhere.

14.20 “Know Your Customer” Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and/or other applicable laws and regulations, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and/or such other applicable laws and regulations, and each Credit Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.

14.21 Release of Liens and the Parent Guaranty; Flag Jurisdiction Transfer. (a) In the event that any Person conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of the Collateral to a Person that is not (and is not required to become) a Credit Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement or the Credit Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs the Collateral Agent to release any Liens created by any Credit Document in respect of such Collateral, and, in the case of a disposition of all of the Equity Interests of any Credit Party (other than the Borrower) in a transaction permitted by this Agreement and as a result of which such Credit Party would not be required to guaranty the Credit Document Obligations pursuant to Sections 9.10(c) and 15, each Lender hereby consents

-102-

to the release of such Credit Party’s obligations under the relevant guarantee to which it is a party. Each Lender hereby directs the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and deliver or, at the Borrower’s expense, file such documents and perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the relevant guarantee, as applicable, and the Liens when and as directed pursuant to this Section 14.21. In addition, the Collateral Agent agrees to take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the Credit Documents when all the Credit Document Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Credit Document Obligations and expense reimbursement claims to the extent no claim therefore has been made) are paid in full and Commitments are terminated. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Credit Document relating to any such Equity Interests or asset of the Borrower shall no longer be deemed to be made once such Equity Interests or asset is so conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of.

(b) In the event that the Borrower desires to implement a Flag Jurisdiction Transfer with respect to the Vessel, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice thereof from the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonably efforts to provide, or (as necessary) procure the provision of, all such reasonable assistance as any Credit Party may request from time to time in relation to (i) the Flag Jurisdiction Transfer, (ii) the related deregistration of the Vessel from its previous flag jurisdiction, and (iii) the release and discharge of the related Security Documents provided that the relevant Credit Party shall pay all documented out of pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Collateral Agent or a Secured Creditor in connection with provision of such assistance. Each Lender hereby consents, in connection with any Flag Jurisdiction Transfer and subject to the satisfaction of the requirements thereof to be satisfied by the relevant Credit Party, to (i) deregister the Vessel from its previous flag jurisdiction and (ii) release and hereby direct the Collateral Agent to release the Vessel Mortgage. Each Lender hereby directs the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver or, at the Borrower’s expense, file such documents and perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the Vessel Mortgage when and as directed pursuant to this Section 14.21(b).

14.22 Partial Invalidity. If, at any time, any provision of the Credit Documents is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired. Any such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall to the extent possible be substituted by a legal, valid and enforceable provision which reflects the intention of the parties to this Agreement.

-103-

SECTION 15. Parent Guaranty.

15.01 Guaranty and Indemnity. The Parent irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i) guarantees to each Lender Creditor punctual performance by each other Credit Party of all that Credit Party’s Credit Document Obligations under the Credit Documents; or

(ii) undertakes with each Lender Creditor that whenever another Credit Party does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Credit Document, the Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(iii) agrees with each Lender Creditor that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Lender Creditor immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Credit Party not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Credit Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Section 15 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

15.02 Continuing Guaranty. This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Credit Party under the Credit Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

15.03 Reinstatement. If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Credit Party or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Lender Creditor in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Guarantor under this Section 15 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

15.04 Waiver of Defenses. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 15 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Section 15, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Section 15 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Lender Creditor) including:

(i) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Credit Party or other person;

(ii) the release of any other Credit Party or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the NCLC Group;

-104-

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

(iv) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of a Credit Party or any other person;

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

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

(vii) any insolvency or similar proceedings.

15.05 Guarantor Intent. Without prejudice to the generality of Section 15.04, the Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Credit Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Credit Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

15.06 Immediate Recourse. The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Credit Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Guarantor under this Section 15. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Credit Document to the contrary.

15.07 Appropriations. Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Lender Creditor (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

(i) refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Lender Creditor (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect

-105-

of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(ii) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantor or on account of the Guarantor’s liability under this Section 15.

15.08 Deferral of Guarantor’s Rights. Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Facility Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Credit Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Section 15:

(i) to be indemnified by a Credit Party;

(ii) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Credit Party’s obligations under the Credit Documents;

(iii) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Lender Creditors under the Credit Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Credit Documents by any Lender Creditor;

(iv) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Credit Party to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Section 15.01;

(v) to exercise any right of set-off against any Credit Party; and/or

(vi) to claim or prove as a creditor of any Credit Party in competition with any Lender Creditor.

If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Lender Creditors by the Credit Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Lender Creditors and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Facility Agent or as the Facility Agent may direct for application in accordance with Section 4.

15.09 Additional Security. This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Credit Party.

SCHEDULE 1.01(b)

MANDATORY COSTS

The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Facility Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Facility Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Facility Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Facility Agent as follows:

[*]

Where:

is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (b) of Section 2.06 payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Facility Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Facility Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

SCHEDULE 1.01(b)

5.	For the purposes of this Schedule:

“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate);

“Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Community relating to Economic and Monetary Union.

“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules; and

“Unpaid Sum” means any sum due and payable but unpaid by any Credit Party under the Credit Documents.

In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

If requested by the Facility Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Facility Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

8.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Facility Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

any other information that the Facility Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

SCHEDULE 1.01(b)

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Facility Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

10.

The Facility Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

11.	The Facility Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

12.	Any determination by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to the Credit Agreement.

13.

The Facility Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Parent and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties to the Credit Agreement any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to the Credit Agreement.

DELIVERY DATE OPINIONS

1.	Pursuant to Section 7.05(a) and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and definitions set forth in such opinion, English Counsel to the Facility Agent for the benefit of the Lead Arrangers opine as follows (capitalized terms have the meanings ascribed to them in such opinion):

(a)

the obligations expressed to be assumed by the Borrower in the Credit Documents governed by English law constitute its valid, legally binding and enforceable obligations;

(b)

there is no requirement under English law for the consent or authorisation of, or the filing, recording or enrolment of any documents with, any court or other authority in England and Wales to be obtained or made in order to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Credit Documents governed by English law;

(c)

English courts of competent jurisdiction will give effect to the choice of English law as the proper law of the Credit Documents governed by English law and will regard express submission by the Borrower to the jurisdiction contained in the Credit Documents governed by English law as sufficient to confer jurisdiction upon them over proceedings within the scope of the submission;

(d)

no stamp duty or similar tax is payable in the United Kingdom in respect of the execution or delivery of the Credit Documents governed by English law; and

(e)

each Assignment Agreement is effective to create valid security interests in favour of the Collateral Agent.

2.	Pursuant to Section 7.05(b) and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and definitions set forth in such opinion, ▇▇▇▇, Weiss, Rifkind, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Counsel to the Credit Parties opine as follows (capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in such opinion):

(a)

The Transaction Documents provide that they are to be governed by English law. To the extent that the Transaction Documents are governed by English law or the law of any other jurisdiction, we express no opinion as to those laws or their applicability to matters covered by this opinion, nor do we express any opinion as to whether or not New York law is applicable to the Transaction Documents. However, we are of the opinion that if the Transaction Documents were governed by the laws of the state of New York (without reference to New York choice of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction), the execution and delivery by each Credit Party of each Transaction Document to which it is a party and the performance by each such Credit Party of its obligations under each Transaction Document to which it is a party do not breach or result in a default under, or result in the creation of any lien (other than the liens created pursuant to the Transaction Documents) upon any of the assets of

SCHEDULE 7.05

that Credit Party pursuant to any agreement listed on Schedule I to this letter (the “Covered Agreements”) (it being understood that a requirement to prepay loans under a Covered Agreement is not a breach of such Covered Agreement, and we express no opinion as to whether a prepayment is required under a Covered Agreement). If any Covered Agreement is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the state of New York, we have assumed such Covered Agreement would be interpreted in accordance with its plain meaning, except that technical terms would mean what lawyers generally understand them to mean for agreements governed by the laws of the state of New York. We express no opinion with respect to any provision of any Covered Agreement to the extent that an opinion with respect to such provision would require making any financial, accounting or mathematical calculation or determination.

3.	Pursuant to Section 7.05(c) and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and definitions set forth in such opinion, Bahamian Counsel to the Credit Parties opine as follows (capitalized terms have the meanings ascribed to them in such opinion):

(a)

Under the laws of the Bahamas the Borrower is the registered owner of record of sixty-four sixty-fourth shares, being the whole thereof of the [insert vessel name] and the Vessel Mortgage constitutes the valid and legally binding act of the Borrower and the Vessel Mortgage is enforceable in accordance with its terms, and further, the Vessel Mortgage creates in favour of the Mortgagee a valid and effective first priority legal mortgage over the [insert vessel name] and there are no other charges, mortgages or encumbrances on record with respect thereto. It should be noted that maritime liens as set out in Section 281 of The Merchant Shipping Act of The Bahamas have priority over mortgages even if such liens are incurred after a mortgage has been registered.

(b)

No further registration authorization, approval or consent or other official action in The Bahamas is necessary to render any of the Documents or the security respectively created thereby valid, perfected and enforceable.

(c)

All filing, registration and recording fees required under the laws of The Bahamas in connection with the Vessel Mortgage and other fees necessary to ensure the validity, effectiveness and priority of any liens, charges and encumbrances created under the Vessel Mortgage have been paid.

(d)

The courts of The Bahamas will recognize as a valid judgment and enforce any final, conclusive and enforceable judgment obtained against a mortgagor in a United Kingdom court without re-examination of the merits of the case subject to registration of the judgment under the provisions of the Reciprocal Enforcements of Judgments Act of the Bahamas.

(e)

The Vessel Mortgage constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

SCHEDULE 7.05

(f)

No consents, authorizations or other approvals are required from any governmental or other authority of The Bahamas for the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Documents by any of the parties thereto or the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein.

(g)

Neither the execution nor delivery of the Documents by the Borrower, nor the performance of its obligations under the Documents, will contravene any existing applicable law or regulation of The Bahamas.

(h)

The Borrower is not entitled or required under any existing applicable law or regulation of The Bahamas to make any withholding or deduction in respect of any tax or otherwise from any payment which it is or may be required to make under the Documents (or any of them) and other than the fees paid in connection with the registration of the Vessel Mortgage no tax, impost, duty or registration fee is payable on any of the Documents in The Bahamas save for registration fees on the Vessel Mortgage.

(i)

Other than the fees paid in connection with the registration of the Vessel Mortgage, no stamp or registration duty or similar taxes or charges are payable in The Bahamas in respect of the Documents.

(j)

Under the laws of The Bahamas, the Mortgagee will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on any commercial activity in The Bahamas or subject to any tax of The Bahamas as a result of its entry into the Documents or the performance of any of the transactions contemplated thereby. It is not necessary for the Mortgagee to be authorized or qualified to carry on business in The Bahamas or establish a place of business in The Bahamas for the entry into or performance of the Documents.

(k)

It is not necessary or advisable to take any further action in the future in order to preserve the security interests referred to above or the priority thereof in connection with the Vessel Mortgage.

4.	Pursuant to Section 7.05(d) and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and definitions set forth in such opinion, Bermudan Counsel to the Credit Parties opine as follows (capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in such opinion):

(a)

Each of the Companies is duly incorporated with limited liability and is existing and in good standing under the laws of Bermuda (meaning that it has not failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority or to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax which might make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of Bermuda).

(b)

The entering into of the relevant Opinion Documents and the execution and delivery of the relevant Opinion Documents by each of the Companies and the performance by each of the Companies of its obligations thereunder:

(i)

are within its corporate powers and have been duly authorised; and

(ii)

will not conflict with the memorandum of association or bye-laws of such Company or violate or result in the breach of any Bermuda law or regulation.

SCHEDULE 7.05

(c)

The relevant Opinion Documents have been duly executed by each of the Companies and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Companies, enforceable in Bermuda in accordance with its terms.

(d)

Based solely on the Litigation Searches, there are no judgments against, nor legal or governmental actions or proceedings pending in Bermuda to which any of the Companies is subject.

(e)

Based solely on the Company Searches, there are no notices to the Registrar of the passing of a resolution of members or creditors to wind up any of the Companies and no notice appointing a liquidator or receiver has been provided to the Registrar.

(f)

No authorisation, consent, approval, license, qualification or formal exemption from, or any filing, declaration or registration with any court, governmental or municipal authority or other public body of Bermuda is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Opinion Documents, the performance by each of the Companies of its obligations under the relevant Opinion Documents, the enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Opinion Documents.

(g)

It is not necessary or desirable to ensure the enforceability in Bermuda of the Opinion Documents that they be registered in any register kept by, or filed with, any governmental or municipal authority or other public or regulatory body in Bermuda. However, on the basis that each of the Security Documents creates a charge over assets of the relevant Companies, it is desirable, in order to ensure the priority in Bermuda of the charge created, that such document be registered, and has been duly filed for such registration, in the Register of Charges in accordance with Section 55 of the Act. On registration, to the extent that Bermuda law governs the priority of a charge, such charge will have priority in Bermuda over any unregistered charges, and over any subsequently registered charges, in respect of the property subject to such charge. A registration fee will be payable in respect of the registration.

(h)

The Opinion Documents will not be subject to ad valorem stamp duty, registration, recording, filing or other fees, duties or taxes in Bermuda and no such fees, duties or taxes are payable in Bermuda in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of the Opinion Documents.

(i)

The choice of the English Laws as the governing law of the English Law Documents is a valid choice of law and the submission by each of the Companies to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts is valid and binding upon them and would be recognised and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Bermuda, except for those laws:

(i)

which such court considers to be procedural in nature;

SCHEDULE 7.05

(ii)

which are revenue or penal laws; or

(iii)

the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of Bermuda.

(j)

The choice of the Bahamian Laws as the governing law of the Bahamian Law Document is a valid choice of law and the submission by the Borrower to the jurisdiction of the Bahamian Courts is valid and binding upon the Borrower and would be recognised and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in Bermuda, except for those laws:

(i)

which such court considers to be procedural in nature;

(ii)

which are revenue or penal laws; or

(iii)

the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of Bermuda.

(k)

The payment obligations of the Companies under the Opinion Documents are direct, general and unconditional obligations of such Company and rank at least pari passu with all other present or future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of such Company other than indebtedness which is preferred by virtue of any provision of the laws of Bermuda of general application.

(l)

None of the Companies nor any of their respective assets are entitled to immunity from suit, execution, attachment of legal process under the laws of Bermuda, whether characterised as sovereign immunity or otherwise from any legal action or proceeding in Bermuda (which shall include, without limitation, suit, attachment prior to judgment, execution or other enforcement).

(m)

No Bermuda taxes are imposed by withholding or otherwise on any payment to be made by any of the Companies under the relevant Opinion Documents or are imposed on or by virtue of the execution or delivery by the Companies of the Opinion Documents or any document or instrument to be executed or delivered under the Opinion Documents.

(n)

The courts of Bermuda will recognise as a valid judgment any final and conclusive judgment obtained against the Borrower by any party to the English Law Documents based upon such document in the English Courts under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty or multiple damages as defined in the Protection of Trading ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (the “1981 Act”)) and such a judgment will be enforced by the Supreme Court of Bermuda under The Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (the “1958 Act”) without re-examination of the merits of the case provided that:

(i)

the judgment is final and conclusive notwithstanding that an appeal may be pending against it or that it may still be subject to an appeal in the relevant jurisdiction;

SCHEDULE 7.05

(ii)

the judgment has not been given on appeal from a court which is not a superior court; and

(iii)

the judgment is duly registered in the Supreme Court of Bermuda in circumstances in which its registration is not liable thereafter to be set aside.

(o)

The courts of Bermuda will recognise as a valid judgment any final and conclusive judgment obtained against the Borrower by any party to the Bahamian Law Document based upon such documents in the Bahamian Courts under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty or multiple damages as defined in ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) and such a judgment will be enforced by the Supreme Court of Bermuda under the 1958 Act without re-examination of the merits of the case provided that:

(i)

the judgment is final and conclusive notwithstanding that an appeal may be pending against it or that it may still be subject to an appeal in the relevant jurisdiction;

(ii)

the judgment has not been given on appeal from a court which is not a superior court; and

(iii)

the judgment is duly registered in the Supreme Court of Bermuda in circumstances in which its registration is not liable thereafter to be set aside.

(p)

Under Section 3 of the 1958 Act, the registration of the judgment of any of the courts referred to in paragraphs 14 to 15 in the Supreme Court of Bermuda involves the conversion of the judgment debt into Bermuda Dollars at the date of such court’s judgment. However, the Bermuda Monetary Authority has indicated that its present policy is to give the consent necessary for the Bermuda dollar award made by the Supreme Court of Bermuda to be converted into external currency. No stamp duty or similar or other tax or duty is payable in Bermuda on the enforcement of a foreign judgment. Court fees will be payable in connection with proceedings for enforcement.

(q)

No party to the Opinion Documents will be deemed to be resident, domiciled, carrying on business or subject to taxation in Bermuda by reason only of the negotiation, preparation, execution, performance, enforcement of, and or receipt of any payment due from the Companies under the relevant Opinion Documents.

SCHEDULE 7.05

(r)

It is not necessary under the laws of Bermuda:

(i)

in order to enable any party to enforce its rights under the Opinion Documents; or

(ii)

by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of the Opinion Documents by the parties thereto,

that such persons should be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in Bermuda.

SCHEDULE 9.03

REQUIRED INSURANCE

1. For the purpose of this Schedule 9.03, the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them as follows:

“Compulsory Acquisition Compensation” shall mean all moneys or other compensation whatsoever payable by reason of the compulsory acquisition of the Vessel other than by requisition for hire;

“Insurances” shall mean all policies and contracts of the insurance and entries of the Vessel in a protection and indemnity or war risks association which are effected in respect of the Vessel, its freight, disbursements, profits or otherwise and all benefits, including all claims and returns of premiums thereunder and shall also include all Compulsory Acquisition Compensation;

“Security Period” shall mean that period from the Delivery Date until the date on which all Loans shall have been fully paid, satisfied and extinguished.

“Total Loss” shall mean any actual or constructive or arranged or agreed or compromised total loss or compulsory acquisition of the Vessel (excluding any requisition for hire).

2. From the Delivery Date of the Vessel, the Borrower shall insure the Vessel, or procure that the Vessel is insured, in its name and keep the Vessel and procure that the Vessel is kept insured on an agreed value basis for an amount in Dollars approved by the Collateral Agent, provided that:

(a) the insured value of the Vessel shall at all times be equal to or greater than its fair market value,

(b) the insured value of the Vessel shall be equal to or greater than [*] of the then applicable Total Commitment, and

(c) the hull and machinery insured value for the Vessel shall at all times be equal to no less than [*] of the total insured value of the Vessel and no more than [*] of the total insured value of the Vessel shall consist of hull interest and freight interest insurance

through internationally recognized independent first class insurance companies, underwriters, war risks and protection and indemnity associations reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent in each instance on terms and conditions approved by the Collateral Agent (with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) including as to deductibles but at least in respect of:

(1) marine risks including all risks customarily and usually covered by first-class and prudent shipowners in the London insurance markets under English marine policies, or the Norwegian Plan or Collateral Agent-approved policies containing the ordinary conditions applicable to similar vessels;

SCHEDULE 9.03

(2) war risks including the Missing Vessel Clause, terrorism, piracy and confiscation, and, should Institute War and Strike Clauses, Hulls Conditions prevail, the London Blocking and Trapping Addendum and war risks (protection and indemnity) with a separate limit and in excess of the amount for war risks (hull);

(3) excess risks that is to say the proportion of claims for general average and salvage charges and under the running down clause not recoverable in consequence of the value at which the Vessel is assessed for the purpose of such claims exceeding the insured value;

(4) protection and indemnity risks with full standard coverage and up to the highest limit of liability available (for oil pollution risk the highest limit currently available is [*]) for pollution risk and this to be increased if requested by the Collateral Agent and the increase is possible in accordance with the standard protection and indemnity cover for vessels of its type and is compatible with prudent insurance practice for first class cruise shipowners or operators in waters where the Vessel trades from time to time during the Security Period;

(5) when and while the Vessel is laid-up, in lieu of hull insurance, normal port risks;

(6) such other risks as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably require;

and in any event in respect of those risks and at those levels covered by first class and prudent owners and/or financiers in the international market in respect of similar tonnage, provided that if any of such insurances are also effected in the name of any other person (other than the Borrower or the Collateral Agent) such person shall if so required by the Collateral Agent execute a first priority assignment and/or transfer of its interest in such insurances in favor of the Collateral Agent in similar terms mutatis mutandis to the relevant Assignment of Insurances.

3. The Collateral Agent at the cost of the Borrower or the Parent shall take out, in each case, for an amount in Dollars approved by the Collateral Agent but not being, collectively, less than [*] of the then applicable Total Commitment, mortgagee interest insurance and mortgagee additional perils insurance on such conditions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, the Parent and the Borrower having no interest or entitlement in respect of such policies; the Collateral Agent undertakes to use its reasonable endeavors to match the premium level that the Borrower or the Parent would have paid if they had arranged such cover on such conditions (as demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Collateral Agent).

4. If the Vessel shall trade in the United States of America and/or the Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States of America (the “EEZ”) as such term is defined in the US Oil Pollution Act 1990 (“OPA”), the Borrower shall comply strictly with the requirements of OPA and any similar legislation which may from time to time be enacted in any jurisdiction in which the Vessel presently trades or may or will trade at any time during the existence of the Vessel Mortgage and in particular before such trade is commenced and during the entire period during which such trade is carried on the Borrower shall:

(i) pay any additional premiums required to maintain protection and indemnity cover for oil pollution up to the limit available to it for the Vessel in the market;

(ii) make all such quarterly or other voyage declarations as may from time to time be required by the Vessel’s protection and indemnity association and to comply with all obligations in order to maintain such cover, and promptly to deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of such declarations;

SCHEDULE 9.03

(iii) submit the Vessel to such additional periodic, classification, structural or other surveys which may be required by the Vessel’s protection and indemnity insurers to maintain cover for such trade and promptly to deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of reports made in respect of such surveys;

(iv) implement any recommendations contained in the reports issued following the surveys referred to in sub-clause (iii) above within the time limit specified therein and provide evidence satisfactory to the Collateral Agent that the protection and indemnity insurers are satisfied that this has been done;

(v) in particular strictly comply with the requirements of any applicable law, convention, regulation, proclamation or order with regard to financial responsibility for liabilities imposed on the Borrower or the Vessel with respect to pollution by any state or nation or political subdivision thereof, including but not limited to OPA, and provide the Collateral Agent on demand with such information or evidence as it may reasonably require of such compliance;

(vi) procure that the protection and indemnity insurances do not contain a clause excluding the Vessel from trading in waters of the United States of America and the EEZ or any other provision analogous thereto and provide the Collateral Agent with evidence that this is so; and

(vii) strictly comply with any operational or structural regulations issued from time to time by any relevant authorities under OPA so that at all times the Vessel falls within the provisions which limit strict liability under OPA for oil pollution.

5. The Borrower shall give notice forthwith of any assignment and/or transfer of its interest in the Insurances to the relevant brokers, insurance companies, underwriters and/or associations in the form reasonably approved by the Collateral Agent.

6. The Borrower shall execute and deliver all such documents and do all such things as may be necessary to confer upon the Collateral Agent legal title to the Insurances in respect of the Vessel and to procure that the interest of the Collateral Agent is at all times filed with all slips, cover notes, policies and certificates of entry and to procure (a) that a loss payable clause in the form reasonably approved by the Collateral Agent and exceeding [*] shall be filed with all the hull, machinery and equipment and war risks policies in respect of the Vessel and (b) that a loss payable clause in the form reasonably approved by the Collateral Agent and exceeding [*] shall be endorsed upon the protection and indemnity certificates of entry in respect of the Vessel.

7. At the Borrower’s expense the Borrower will cause such insurance broker and the P & I club or association providing P & I insurance to agree to advise the Collateral Agent by telex or telecopier confirmed by letter of any expiration, termination, alteration or cancellation of any policy, any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the Borrower of which it has knowledge and which might invalidate or

SCHEDULE 9.03

render unenforceable, in whole or in part, any insurance on the Vessel, and to provide an opportunity of paying any such unpaid premium or call, such right being exercisable by the Collateral Agent on a vessel by vessel and not on a fleet basis. In addition, the Borrower or the Parent shall promptly provide the Collateral Agent with any information which the Collateral Agent reasonably requests for the purpose of obtaining or preparing any report from an independent marine insurance consultant as to the adequacy of the insurances effected or proposed to be effected in accordance with the provisions contained herein as of the date hereof or in connection with any renewal thereof, and the Borrower or the Parent shall upon demand indemnify the Collateral Agent in respect of all reasonable fees and other expenses incurred by or for the account of the Collateral Agent in connection with any such report; provided the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to such indemnity only for one such report during any period of twelve months.

8. The Borrower shall procure that each of the relevant brokers and associations furnish the Collateral Agent with a letter of undertaking in such usual form as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Agent and waives any lien for premiums or calls except in relation to premiums or calls attributable to the Vessel.

9. The Borrower shall punctually pay all premiums, calls, contributions or other sums payable in respect of the Insurances on the Vessel and to produce all relevant receipts when so required by the Collateral Agent;

10. The Borrower shall renew each of the Insurances on the Vessel at least [*] Business Days before the expiry thereof and give immediate notice to the Collateral Agent of such renewal and procure that the relevant brokers or associations shall promptly confirm in writing to the Collateral Agent that such renewal is effected, it being understood by the Borrower that any failure to renew the Insurances on the Vessel at least [*] Business Days before the expiry thereof or to give or procure the relevant notices of such renewal shall constitute an Event of Default.

11. The Borrower shall arrange for the execution of such guarantees as may from time to time be required by any protection and indemnity and/or war risks association.

12. The Borrower shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time on request with full information about all Insurances maintained on the Vessel and the names of the offices, companies, underwriters, associations or clubs with which such Insurances are placed.

13. The Borrower shall not agree to any variation in the terms of any of the Insurances on the Vessel without the prior approval of the Collateral Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) (save in circumstances where the variation is imposed by the insurers or reinsurers without requiring the Borrower’s consent, in which case the Borrower shall notify the Collateral Agent of such variation in a timely manner) nor do any act or voluntarily suffer or permit any act to be done whereby any Insurances shall or may be rendered invalid, void, voidable, suspended, defeated or unenforceable and not to suffer or permit the Vessel to engage in any voyage nor to carry any cargo not permitted under any of the Insurances without first obtaining the consent of the insurers or reinsurers concerned and complying with such requirements as to payment of extra premiums or otherwise as the insurers or reinsurers may impose. If a variation in the terms of the Insurances is imposed as aforesaid and in the absolute opinion of the Collateral Agent its interest in the Insurances is thereby materially adversely affected and/or the proceeds of the Insurances payable to the Collateral Agent would be

SCHEDULE 9.03

adversely affected, the Borrower undertakes promptly to make such changes to the Insurances, or such alternative Insurance arrangements, provided that such alternative Insurance arrangements are available in the insurance market to the Borrower at that time, as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably require.

14. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, settle, compromise or abandon any claim in respect of any of the Insurances on the Vessel other than a claim of less than [*] or the equivalent in any other currency and not being a claim arising out of a Total Loss.

15. The Borrower shall promptly furnish the Collateral Agent with full information regarding any casualties or other accidents or damage to the Vessel involving an amount in excess of [*].

16. The Borrower shall apply or ensure the appliance of all such sums receivable in respect of the Insurances on the Vessel for the purpose of making good the loss and fully repairing all damage in respect whereof the insurance moneys shall have been received.

17. In the event of the Borrower defaulting in insuring and keeping insured its Vessel as hereinbefore provided then the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be bound to) insure the Vessel or enter the Vessel in such manner and to such extent as the Collateral Agent in its discretion thinks fit and in such case all the cost of effecting and maintaining such Insurance together with interest thereon shall be paid on demand by the Borrower to the Collateral Agent.

The Collateral Agent may on notice to the Chargor at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default exercise at its discretion (in the name of any Chargor or otherwise) and without any further consent or authority on the part of the Chargor in respect of any of the Security Assets, any voting rights and any powers or rights which may be exercised by the Collateral Agent or by the person or persons in whose name or names the Security Assets are registered or who is the holder thereof under the terms thereof or otherwise including, but without limitation, all the powers given to trustees under the laws of Bermuda in respect of securities or property subject to a trust; provided that upon the taking of any such action the Collateral Agent will immediately give notice to the Chargor and that in the absence of any such notice, the Chargor may and shall continue to exercise any and all rights with respect to the Security Assets, subject always to the terms hereof.

6. Voting of Shares. The Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges that until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Chargor shall be entitled to (a) vote or cause to be voted any and all of the Security Assets and (b) give or cause to be given consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or taken which would be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Charge or would jeopardise the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its rights under this Charge. All such rights of the Chargor to vote or cause to be voted and to give or cause to be given consents, waivers and ratifications shall cease automatically, where an Event of Default occurs and is continuing.

7. Enforcement of Security. Upon, at any time after the occurrence of, and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to put into force and exercise immediately, without further notice to the Chargor (without prejudice to the notice of default under section 11 of the Credit Agreement), as and when it may see fit, any and every power possessed by it by virtue of this Charge and, in particular (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing):

(a) may solely and exclusively exercise all voting and/or consensual powers pertaining to the Security Assets or any part thereof and may exercise such powers in such manner as the Collateral Agent may think fit;

(b) may remove the then existing directors and officers (with or without cause) by dating and presenting the undated, signed letters of resignation delivered pursuant to this Charge;

(c) may receive and retain all dividends, interest or other monies or assets accruing on or in respect of the Security Assets or any part thereof, such dividends, interest or other monies or assets to be held by the Collateral Agent, until applied in the manner described in clause 7(g), as additional security charged under and subject to the terms of this Charge and any such dividends, interest or other monies or assets received by the Chargor after such time shall be held in trust by the Chargor for the Collateral Agent and paid or transferred to the Collateral Agent on demand;

(d) may sell, transfer, grant options over or otherwise dispose of the Security Assets or any part thereof at such place and in such manner and at such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem fit subject to and in accordance with the prior authorisation and consent of the Bermuda Monetary Authority in so far as the sale, transfer, grant or option or disposal concern the Shares, and thereupon the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer in accordance therewith the Security Assets so sold, transferred, granted options over or otherwise disposed of;

(e) the Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to make any enquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it under this Charge or to make any claim or to take any action to collect any monies assigned by this Charge or to enforce any rights or benefits assigned to the Collateral Agent by this Charge or to which the Collateral Agent may at any time be entitled hereunder;

(f) upon any sale of the Security Assets or any part thereof by the Collateral Agent the purchaser shall not be bound to see or enquire whether the Collateral Agent’s power of sale has become exercisable in the manner provided in this Charge and the sale shall be deemed to be within the power of the Collateral Agent, and the receipt of the Collateral Agent for the purchase money shall effectively discharge the purchaser who shall not be concerned with the manner of application of the proceeds of sale or be in any way answerable therefor provided that the purchaser purchases the Security Assets in an arm’s-length transaction;

(g) all monies received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Charge shall be held by it upon trust and shall be applied by it in accordance with section 4.05 of the Credit Agreement;

(h) neither the Collateral Agent nor its agents, managers, officers, employees, delegates and advisers shall be liable for any claim, demand, liability, loss, damage, cost or expense incurred or arising in connection with the exercise or purported exercise of any rights, powers and discretions hereunder in the absence of gross negligence or dishonesty;

(i) the Collateral Agent shall not by reason of the taking of possession of the whole or any part of the Security Assets or any part thereof be liable to account as mortgagee-in-possession or for anything except actual receipts or be liable for any loss upon realisation or for any default of omission for which a mortgagee-in-possession might be liable; and

(j) the powers provided in this Charge are cumulative with and not exclusive of powers provided by law or equity independently of this Charge.

8. Receiver.

8.1 In addition to the powers conferred in this Charge, at any time after the security hereby created shall become enforceable, the Collateral Agent may appoint in writing a receiver or a receiver and manager (herein the “Receiver”) of all or any part of the Security Assets and may remove the Receiver so appointed and appoint another in his stead and may from time to time fix the remuneration of the Receiver. The power to appoint a Receiver over all the Security Assets may be exercised whether or not a Receiver has already been appointed over part of it.

8.2 Subject to any specific limitations in the terms of appointment, a Receiver shall have the powers conferred on receivers by law or equity in addition to all the Collateral Agent’s powers including, but not limited to, any one or more of the powers in clause 7 each of which is to be construed as if a reference to the Collateral Agent includes a reference to the Receiver.

8.3 Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its agents, officers, employees, managers, delegates and advisers shall be responsible for misconduct or negligence on the part of the Receiver.

(f) the Chargor unconditionally waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price of which any Security Assets may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been attained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Security Assets to more than one offeree provided that the purchaser purchases the Security Assets for value in an arms-length transaction; and

(g) the Chargor unconditionally agrees that the Collateral Agent may acquire the Security Assets or sell them to an affiliate subject to and in accordance with the prior authorisation and consent of the Bermuda Monetary Authority in so far as the sale, transfer, grant or option or disposal concern the Shares.

10. Indemnities.

10.1 The Chargor will indemnify and save harmless the Collateral Agent and each agent or attorney appointed under or pursuant to this Charge from and against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities, losses, taxes, costs, duties, fees and charges suffered, incurred or made by the Collateral Agent or such agent or attorney (the “Liabilities”):

(a) in the exercise or purported exercise of any rights, powers or discretions vested in them pursuant to this Charge;

(b) in the preservation or enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Charge or the priority thereof; or

except where such Liabilities shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or such agent or attorney, and the Collateral Agent or such agent or attorney may retain and pay all sums in respect of the same out of money received under the powers conferred by this Charge. All amounts recoverable by the Collateral Agent or such agent or attorney or any of them shall be recoverable on a full indemnity basis.

10.2 If, under any applicable law or regulation, and whether pursuant to a judgment being made or registered against the Chargor or the bankruptcy or liquidation of the Chargor or for any other reason any payment under or in connection with this Charge is made or falls to be satisfied in a currency (the “Payment Currency”) other than the currency in which such payment is due under or in connection with this Charge (the “Contractual Currency”) then to the extent that the amount of such payment actually received by the Collateral Agent when converted into the Contractual Currency at the rate of exchange, falls short of the amount due under or in connection with this Charge, the Chargor, as a separate and independent obligation, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent against the amount of such shortfall. For the purposes of this clause 10.2 “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Collateral Agent is able on or about the date of such payment to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency and shall take into account any premium payable to third parties and other costs of exchange with respect thereto.

11. Expenses. The Chargor shall pay to the Collateral Agent on demand all costs, fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses) and taxes thereon incurred by the Collateral Agent or for which the Collateral Agent may become liable in connection with:

(a) the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Charge;

(b) the preserving or enforcing of, or attempting to preserve or enforce, any of the rights under this Charge or the priority hereof;

(d) any consent or waiver required from the Collateral Agent in relation to this Charge,

and in any case referred to in clauses 11(c) and 11(d) regardless of whether the same is actually implemented, completed or granted, as the case may be.

12. Further Assurance. The Chargor further agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, it will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent acting reasonably may deem necessary, desirable or appropriate for the purpose of obtaining the full benefit of this Charge and of the rights and powers herein granted.

13. Protection of Purchaser. No purchaser or other person dealing with the Collateral Agent or any Receiver or with its or his attorneys shall be concerned to enquire (a) whether any power exercised or purported to be exercised by it, him or them has become exercisable, (b) whether any money remains due on the security hereby created, (c) as to the propriety and regularity of any of its, his or their actions or (d) as to the application of any money paid to him, it or them. In the absence of mala fides on the part of such purchaser or other person, such dealings shall be deemed so far as regards the safety and protection of such purchaser or other person to be within the powers hereby conferred and to be valid accordingly.

14. Delegation. The Collateral Agent may at its expense at any time employ agents, managers, employees, advisers, attorneys and others on such terms as it sees fit for any of the purposes set out herein.

15. Liability of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any Receiver shall not be liable for any losses arising in connection with the exercise or purported exercise of any of their rights, powers and discretions in good faith hereunder.

16. Release. Under no circumstances shall the Collateral Agent be deemed to assume any responsibility for or obligation or duty, with respect to any part of all of the Security Assets or this Charge of any nature or kind or any matter or proceeding arising out of or related thereto but the same shall be at the Chargor’s sole risk at all times. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action of any kind to collect, preserve or protect its or any Chargor’s rights in the Security Assets or against other parties thereto.

Failing this, the Collateral Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose.

The undersigned agrees that it shall look solely to the Assignor for performance of the Charter and that the Assignee shall have no obligation or liability under or pursuant to the Charter arising out of the Assignment, nor shall the Assignee be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of the Assignor under or pursuant to the Charter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement (as defined in or by reference in the Assignment) shall have occurred and be continuing, the undersigned agrees that the Assignee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform all of the Assignor’s obligations under the Charter as though named therein as owner.

Dear Sirs

We acknowledge receipt of a notice in the terms set out above (the “Notice”). We accept the instructions and authorisations contained in the Notice, we undertake to act in accordance with and comply with the terms of the Notice and we confirm that we have not received notice of any previous assignments or charges of or over any of the rights, title, interests and benefits in, to or in respect of the Management Agreement and that we will comply with the terms of the Notice.

We further agree and confirm that:

(a)

if an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing, we covenant and agree with the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to terminate the Management Agreement, as the Collateral Agent determines in its sole discretion, upon not fewer than three (3) Business Days prior written notice setting forth the effective date of such termination, without such termination giving rise to any claim by us as Manager, other than for services already rendered by us as Manager as of the effective date of such termination;

(b)

with respect to the Ship, we agree that any lien arising in our favour under the Management Agreement is subject and subordinated in all respects to the lien of the first priority mortgage and the deed of covenants in respect of the Ship granted by the Borrower in favour of the Collateral Agent (the “Vessel Mortgage”), and, at the option of the Collateral Agent, foreclosure (or any similar action taken by the Collateral Agent) under the Vessel Mortgage shall terminate the Management Agreement and such liens and divest us and our submanagers of all right, title and interest in and to the Ship;

(c)

we will not enter into any sub-management agreement or contract out our obligations under the Management Agreement to any person without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, unless (i) the sub-manager executes a consent substantially identical to this consent and (ii) the sub-manager is as competent to render management services as we are; and

(d)	we acknowledge that we shall not challenge the effectiveness of the Assignment (as defined in the Notice; capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Notice or the Assignment, as applicable) with respect to the Management Agreement.

Yours faithfully
