(e)The obligations of each Borrower under the Finance Documents shall not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this clause (whether or not known to it or any Finance Party), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under the Finance Documents including:

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

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

UK-#395507908-v8

(v)any amendment, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security;

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

(vii)any insolvency or similar proceedings.

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

(g)After cancellation of the Total Commitments in accordance with clauses 7.1 (Illegality) and 7.7 (Automatic cancellation) or the giving of notice under paragraph (a) of clause 31.23 (Acceleration), then, until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged in full, each Finance Party (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 Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Borrower will be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(ii)hold in a suspense account any money received from any Borrower or on account of any Borrower's liability under any Finance Document.

(i)to be indemnified by another Obligor;

(ii)to claim any contribution from any other Obligor or any guarantor of any Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

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

(iv)to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Obligor to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which that Borrower is liable under this Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents;

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

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

if a Borrower receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it will promptly pay an equal amount to the Agent for application in accordance with clause 38 (Payment mechanics).

(i)a Lender's Funding Rate is less than the Reference Rate; or

(ii)a Lender does not notify a rate by the time specified in sub-paragraph (ii) of paragraph (a) above,

Each Obligor shall, and shall procure that each other Obligor will, ensure that at all times any unsecured and unsubordinated claims of a Finance Party against it under the Finance Documents rank at least pari passu with the claims of all its other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors except those creditors whose claims are mandatorily preferred by laws of general application to companies.

22.18Sustainability Margin Adjustment

(a)The Borrowers shall supply to the Agent, together with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group to be provided pursuant to clause 20.1 (Financial statements) for each financial year ending on or after 31 December 2022, a duly completed Sustainability Performance Certificate for that financial year, together with the Statement of Compliance by a Recognised Organisation for each Fleet Vessel.

(b)Each Sustainability Performance Certificate shall be signed by an authorised signatory of Navigator Gas and shall contain the Fleet Sustainability Score for that financial year together with supporting calculations (including, for each Fleet Vessel, its Vessel Sustainability Score and Vessel Weighting).

UK-#395507908-v8

(c)The Margin will be adjusted in the manner described in the definition of Sustainability Margin Adjustment as of the date that falls five Business Days after the date on which a Sustainability Performance Certificate has been received by the Agent (the Sustainability Effective Date). A Sustainability Margin Adjustment can only occur once per calendar year.

(d)If a Borrower fails to deliver the Sustainability Performance Certificate for a financial year, the Margin will be that which would apply as if the Fleet Sustainability Score was greater than 0.800. Such increase in the Margin will become effective on the date that falls five Business Days after the date on which the Sustainability Performance Certificate should have been received in accordance with paragraph (a) above until the Sustainability Performance Certificate is supplied to the Agent.

(e)Failure to deliver a Sustainability Performance Certificate will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

(f)If any confirmation, representation or statement made under or in connection with any Sustainability Performance Certificate is or proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made, the Margin shall be adjusted (or not, as the case may be) in accordance with the definition of Sustainability Margin Adjustment (if necessary with retrospective effect from the applicable Sustainability Effective Date) to reflect the Fleet Sustainability Score that has actually been achieved in the relevant financial year of the Company.

(g)If there are material changes to the AER Trajectory due to changes made in the Poseidon Principles or otherwise, the Company and the Lenders will enter into a consultation period of no longer than 30 Business Days to agree on a new Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Key Performance Indicator and corresponding mechanism and make any necessary changes to this Agreement to reflect such material changes. If no agreement can be reached, then the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, Key Performance Indicator and corresponding mechanism will not be adjusted and will continue to apply as per this Agreement.

(h)The Margin will not be adjusted pursuant to the definition of Sustainability Margin Adjustment on the relevant Sustainability Effective Date if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no adjustment will be capable of occurring until the next Sustainability Effective Date (provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on such date).

In this clause 22.18:

Sustainability Margin Adjustment means the adjustment, in accordance with clause 22.18 (Sustainability Margin Adjustment), (by way of increase or decrease) to the Margin existing at the date of this Agreement in accordance with the row "Key Performance Indicator" in the table below corresponding to the Fleet Sustainability Score contained in the Sustainability Performance Certificate in relation to the relevant Sustainability Effective Date.

All sums paid under the Ship's Insurances to anyone other than the Security Agent shall be applied in repairing the damage and/or in discharging the liability in respect of which they have been paid except to the extent that the repairs have already been paid for and/or the liability already discharged.

25.22Settlement of claims

UK-#395507908-v8

Any claim under the Ship's Insurances for a Total Loss or Major Casualty shall only be settled, compromised or abandoned with prior approval.

25.23Change in insurance requirements

If the Agent gives notice to the Borrowers to change the terms and requirements of this clause 25 (which the Agent may only do, in such manner as it considers appropriate (acting reasonably having consideration to market conditions at the relevant time), as a result in changes of circumstances or practice after the date of this Agreement), this clause 25 shall be modified in the manner so notified by the Agent on the date 14 days after such notice from the Agent is received.

26Minimum security value

Each Borrower undertakes that this clause 26 will be complied with throughout any Mortgage Period.

26.1Valuation of assets

For the purpose of the Finance Documents, the value at any time of any Mortgaged Ship or any other asset over which additional security is provided under this clause 26 will be its value as most recently determined in accordance with this clause 26.

26.2Valuation frequency

(a)Valuations of each Mortgaged Ship shall be carried out semi-annually, such valuations to be provided to the Agent at the same time that a Compliance Certificate is provided to the Agent at the end of the Group's second and fourth financial quarter pursuant to clause 20.2(a).

(b)Each valuation shall be dated no earlier than 30 days prior to delivery of that valuation to the Agent.

(c)In addition valuations of the relevant Mortgaged Ship and each such other asset in accordance with this clause 26 shall be required:

(i)prior to a Utilisation Date in accordance with clause 4.1 (Initial conditions precedent) and paragraph 12 of Part 2 of Schedule 3; and

(ii)as may be further required by the Agent at any other time if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if a mandatory prepayment event occurs under clause 7.5 (Sale or Total Loss).

(d)The Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) may request further valuations at any other time (but not more than twice in any 12 month period). Such additional valuations will be at the cost of the Agent unless such valuations show that the Security Value is less than the Minimum Value at that time, in which case the costs for such valuations will be borne by the Borrowers.

26.3Expenses of valuation

The Borrowers shall bear, and reimburse to the Agent where incurred by the Agent, all reasonable costs and expenses of providing such valuations other than as set out in clause 26.2(d).

26.4Valuations procedure

The value of any Mortgaged Ship shall be determined in accordance with, and by two Approved Valuers appointed in accordance with, this clause 26. Additional security provided under this clause 26 shall be valued in such a way, on such a basis and by such persons (including the Agent itself) as may be approved by the Majority Lenders or as may be agreed in writing by the Borrowers and the Agent (on the instructions of the Majority Lenders).

UK-#395507908-v8

26.5Currency of valuation

Valuations shall be provided by Approved Valuers in dollars or, if an Approved Valuer is of the view that the relevant type of vessel is generally bought and sold in another currency, in that other currency. If a valuation is provided in another currency, for the purposes of this Agreement it shall be converted into dollars at the Agent's spot rate of exchange for the purchase of dollars with that other currency as at the date to which the valuation relates.

26.6Basis of valuation

Each valuation will be addressed to the Agent in its capacity as such and made:

(a)without physical inspection (unless required by the Agent);

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

(c)without taking into account the benefit of any charter commitment (including a Charter).

26.7Information required for valuation

The Borrowers shall promptly provide to the Agent and any such valuer any information which they reasonably require for the purposes of providing such a valuation.

26.8Approval of valuers

All valuers must be Approved Valuers. The Agent shall respond promptly to any request by the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall respond promptly to any request by the Agent, for approval of a broker nominated by the Borrowers or, as the case may be, the Agent to become an Approved Valuer. The Agent may, acting reasonably, at any time by notice to the Borrowers withdraw any Approved Valuer or previous approval of a valuer for the purposes of future valuations. That valuer may not then be appointed to provide valuations unless it is once more approved.

26.9Appointment of valuers

When valuations of a Mortgaged Ship are required for the purposes of this clause 26, the Agent and the Borrowers shall promptly each nominate an Approved Valuer to provide such valuations and the Borrowers shall be responsible for appointing such nominated Approved Valuers and obtaining the required valuations of the Mortgaged Ship. If the Borrowers fail to do so promptly, the Agent may appoint both Approved Valuers to provide the required valuations.

26.10Number of valuers

Each valuation shall be carried out by the two Approved Valuers selected pursuant to clause 26.9 (Appointment of valuers).

26.11Differences in valuations

(a)If a valuer provides a range of value in respect of a Ship, the arithmetic mean average of that range of value shall be that valuer’s valuation.

(b)If valuations provided by individual valuers differ, the value of the relevant Ship for the purposes of the Finance Documents will be the arithmetic mean average of those valuations. If the higher of the two valuations obtained pursuant to clause 26.10 is more than 110 per cent of the lower of the two valuations then a third valuation shall be obtained from a third Approved Valuer (nominated by the Agent and appointed by the Borrowers) and the value of the relevant Mortgaged Ship for the purposes of the Finance Documents will be the arithmetic mean average of those three valuations.

UK-#395507908-v8

26.12Security shortfall

If at any time the Security Value is less than the Minimum Value, the Agent may, and shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, by notice to the Borrowers require that such deficiency be remedied. The Borrowers shall then within 30 days of receipt of such notice ensure that the Security Value equals or exceeds the Minimum Value. For this purpose, the Borrowers may:

(a)provide additional security over other assets approved by the Majority Lenders in accordance with this clause 26; and/or

(b)prepay under clause 7.3 (Voluntary prepayment of Loan) a corresponding amount of the Loan.

26.13Creation of additional security

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

(a)that additional security, its value and the method of its valuation have been approved by the Majority Lenders, it being agreed that cash collateral provided in dollars or in the form of letters of credit denominated in dollars shall always be acceptable to the Lenders, and shall be valued at par;

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

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

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

26.14Release of additional security

If at any time the Security Agent holds additional security provided under this clause 26, such additional security shall be released and discharged upon written request from the Borrowers where (i) the Borrowers have demonstrated to the Agent that, at the time of request, they have been in compliance with the minimum required security cover under clause 26.12 (Security Shortfall) without the requirement for such additional security for at least 90 days, (ii) the Borrowers have demonstrated to the Agent that if the test under clause 26.12 (Security Shortfall) was applied immediately following the release and discharge of such security, the Borrowers would comply with the minimum required security cover under clause 26.12 (Security Shortfall) and (iii) no Default is then continuing or would result from such release and discharge and, upon such release and discharge and, if so required by the Agent, the Borrowers shall reimburse to the Agent any costs and expenses payable under clause 16 (Costs and expenses) in relation to that release and discharge.

27Chartering undertakings

Each Borrower undertakes that this clause 27 will be complied with in relation to each Mortgaged Ship and its Charter Documents and, if a Charterer is a Group Member, by the relevant Charterer at any time during the relevant Ship's Mortgage Period that the Ship is subject to a Charter.

27.5Payment of Charter Earnings

All Earnings which the relevant Owner is entitled to receive under the Charter Documents shall be paid in the manner required by the Security Documents (and, if the Charterer is a Group Member, without any set-off or counter-claim and free and clear of any deductions or withholdings).

27.6Enforcement of charter assignment

The Charterer shall allow the Security Agent to enforce the rights of the relevant Owner under the Charter as assignee of those rights under the relevant Charter Assignment.

27.7Sub-chartering

Except with approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Owner shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that the Charterer shall not enter into any charter commitment for the Ship which, if entered into by the relevant Owner would require approval under clause 23.8 (Chartering) and if the Security Agent is at any time entitled to enforce its rights as mortgagee of the Ship under the terms of any Mortgage, the Charterer will exercise its rights under any sub-charter of the Ship in such manner as the Agent may direct.

27.8▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'s manager

A manager of the Ship shall not be appointed by the Charterer unless in accordance with clause 23.4 or that manager and the terms of its employment are approved by the Agent acting reasonably.

27.9Security Interests by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Except as approved by the Majority Lenders (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Owner shall procure (in respect of a Charterer that is a member of the Group) or use all reasonable endeavours to procure (in respect of any other Charterer) that the Charterer shall not grant or allow to exist any Security Interest over any asset of the Charterer over which a Security Interest is granted or expressed to be granted by its Charterer's Assignment.

In addition, moneys borrowed against the security of an asset in respect of which there is no recourse against any Group Member other than to that asset and the Group Member that owns that asset (to the extent that the relevant Group Member is a single purpose ring fenced entity and has no other assets other than the asset relating to the non-recourse financing) shall not be treated as Financial Indebtedness (and thus not taken into account) for the purpose of this clause 31.8.

31.9Insolvency

(b)The value of the assets of any Group Member is less than its liabilities (taking into account contingent and prospective liabilities).

UK-#395507908-v8

(ii)a composition, compromise, assignment or arrangement with any creditor of any Group Member;

(iii)the appointment of a liquidator (other than in respect of a solvent liquidation of a Group Member which is not an Obligor), receiver, administrator, administrative receiver, compulsory manager or other similar officer in respect of any Group Member or any of its assets (including the directors of any Group Member requesting a person to appoint any such officer in relation to it or any of its assets); or

(iv)enforcement of any Security Interest over any assets of any Group Member,

or any analogous procedure or step is taken in any jurisdiction.

31.11Creditors' process

(a)Any expropriation, attachment, sequestration, distress, execution or analogous process affects any asset or assets of any Group Member, which would in aggregate exceed $500,000 or, when aggregated with the value of any assets of the other Group Members affected by any process mentioned in this clause 31.11(a), would exceed $20,000,000, and is not discharged within 28 days.

(b)Any judgment or order for an amount in excess of $500,000 in respect of the Borrowers, the Parent or Greater Bay, or $20,000,000 in respect of the Ultimate Parent, is made against any Group Member and is not stayed or complied with within 28 days.

31.12Unlawfulness and invalidity

(b)Any obligation or obligations of any Obligor under any Finance Documents are not (subject to the Legal Reservations) or cease to be legal, valid, binding or enforceable and the cessation individually or cumulatively materially and adversely affects the interests of the Lenders under the Finance Documents.

(c)Any Finance Document or any Security Interest created or expressed to be created or evidenced by the Security Documents ceases to be in full force and effect or is alleged by a party to it (other than a Finance Party) to be ineffective for any reason.

(d)Any Security Document does not create legal, valid, binding and enforceable security over the assets charged under that Security Document or the ranking or priority of such security is adversely affected.

31.13Cessation of business

Any Obligor suspends or ceases to carry on (or threatens to suspend or cease to carry on) all or a material part of its business.

31.14Expropriation

UK-#395507908-v8

Any Mortgaged Ship is arrested, confiscated, seized, taken in execution, impounded, forfeited, detained in exercise or purported exercise of any possessory lien or other claim and the relevant Owner fails to procure the release of such Ship within a period of 28 days thereafter (or such longer period as may be approved) or, in the case of any seizure or detention of such Ship as a result of piracy, within a period of 365 days thereafter.

31.20Outbreak of war

The Flag State of any Mortgaged Ship becomes involved in war (whether or not declared) or civil war or is occupied by another power by unconstitutional means and such event or circumstance, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, materially prejudices any Security Interest.

31.21Ship registration

Except with approval, the registration of any Mortgaged Ship under the laws and flag of its Flag State is cancelled or terminated or, where applicable, not renewed or, if such Ship is only provisionally registered on the date of its Mortgage, such Ship is not permanently registered under such laws within 90 days of such date.

32.2No voting rights

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

32.3Acceleration and enforcement of security

Neither the Agent nor the Security Agent nor any other beneficiary of the Security Documents shall be obliged, in connection with any action taken or proposed to be taken under or pursuant to clause 31 (Events of Default) or pursuant to the other Finance Documents, to have any regard to the requirements or interests of any Hedging Provider except to the extent that the relevant Hedging Provider is also a Lender.

UK-#395507908-v8

SECTION 9 - CHANGES TO PARTIES

33Changes to the Lenders and Hedging Providers

33.1Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

Subject to this clause 33, a Lender (the Existing Lender) may assign any of its rights to another bank or financial institution which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of, making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (excluding a hedge fund), unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case the Existing Lender may assign its rights to any person (in each case, the new assignee being the New Lender).

33.2Conditions of assignment

(a)The consent of the Borrowers is required for an assignment by a Lender unless:

(i)the assignment is to another ▇▇▇▇▇▇, an Affiliate of a Lender;

(ii)an Event of Default is continuing; or

(iii)a Change of Control has occurred without the consent of the Majority Lenders.

The Agent will immediately advise the Borrowers of any assignment pursuant to this paragraph (a).

(b)The Borrowers’ consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and will be deemed to have been given five Business Days after the Lender has requested consent unless consent is expressly refused within that time.

(c)An assignment will only be effective:

(i)on receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the Borrowers and the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender;

(ii)on the New Lender entering into any documentation required for it to accede as a party to any Security Document to which the Original Lender is a party in its capacity as a Lender and, in relation to such Security Documents, completing any filing, registration or notice requirements;

(iii)if an assignment takes effect after there has been the Utilisation, the assignment of an Existing ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s participation in the Utilisations (if any) under the Facility shall take effect in respect of the same fraction of each such Utilisation;

(iv)on the performance by the Agent of all "know your customer" or other checks relating to any person that it is required to carry out in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Lender and the New Lender;

(v)if that Existing Lender assigns equal fractions of its Commitment and participation in the Loan and a Utilisation (if any) under the Facility;

(vi)if a relevant assignment or transfer has been approved by the Agent; and

(vii)if the Agent has received confirmation to its satisfaction that no Insolvency Event has occurred in relation to either the Existing Lender or the New Lender.

(d)Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any

101

UK-#395507908-v8

amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with the Finance Documents on or prior to the date on which the assignment becomes effective in accordance with the Finance Documents and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

33.3Fee

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of $5,000 per assignment.

33.4No increased costs

(a)If:

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

(ii)as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under clause 12 (Tax gross up and indemnities) or clause 13 (Increased costs),

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

33.5Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

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

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

(ii)the financial condition of any Obligor;

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

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

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

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

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

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

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

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

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

102

UK-#395507908-v8

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

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

(i)accept a re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights assigned under this clause 33 (Changes to the Lenders); or

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

33.6Procedure for transfer

(a)Subject to the conditions set out in clause 33.2 (Conditions of assignment) an assignment may be effected in accordance with clause 33.6(c) below when (a) the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate and (b) the Agent executes any document required under clause 33.2(c) which it may be necessary for it to execute in each case delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender duly executed by them and, in the case of any such other document, any other relevant person. The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a Transfer Certificate and any such other document each duly completed, appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate and such other document.

(b)The Obligors and the other Finance Parties irrevocably authorise the Agent to execute any Transfer Certificate on their behalf without any consultations with them.

(c)On the Transfer Date:

(i)to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to be released from its obligations under the Finance Documents, the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards the Obligors and the other Finance Parties under the Finance Documents and the rights of the Obligors and the other Finance Parties against the Existing Lender under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the Discharged Rights and Obligations) (but the obligations owed by the Obligors under the Finance Documents shall not be released);

(ii)the New Lender shall assume obligations towards each of the Obligors who are a Party and/or the Obligors and the other Finance Parties shall acquire rights against the New Lender which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as the New Lender has assumed and/or the Obligors and the other Finance Parties have acquired the same in place of the Existing Lender;

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

(iv)the New Lender shall become a Party to the Finance Documents as a "Lender" for the purposes of all the Finance Documents.

33.7Copy of Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation to Borrowers

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation and any other document required under clause 33.2(c), send a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Increase Confirmation and such documents to the Borrowers.

33.8Security over Lenders' Rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this clause 33, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from an Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create a Security Interest in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:

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

(b)any charge, assignment or other Security Interest granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

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

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

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

33.9Additional Hedging Providers

(a)The Borrowers or a Lender may request that (with the prior approval of the Majority Lenders and, in the case of a request by a Lender, the Borrowers) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender becomes an Additional Hedging Provider by delivering to the Facility Agent a duly executed Hedging Provider Accession Letter.

(b)The relevant Lender or Affiliate will become an Additional Hedging Provider when the Facility Agent executes the relevant Hedging Provider Accession Letter.

extended to the Security Agent pursuant to clause 35.17 (Application of certain clauses to Security Agent), for the Security Agent absolutely;

(ii)secondly, as to a sum equivalent to the aggregate amount then due and owing to the other Finance Parties under the Finance Documents, for those Finance Parties absolutely for application between them in accordance with clause 38.5 (Partial payments), and pro-rata to the amounts owing to them under the Finance Documents;

(iii)thirdly, until such time as the Security Agent is satisfied that all obligations owed to the Finance Parties have been irrevocably and unconditionally discharged in full, held by the Security Agent on a suspense account for payment of any further amounts owing to the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents and further application in accordance with this clause 35.19(a) as and when any such amounts later fall due;

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

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

(b)shall (subject to clause 35.19 (Order of application)) be entitled (in its own name or in the names of nominees) to invest moneys from time to time forming part of the Trust Property or otherwise held by it as a consequence of any enforcement of the security constituted by any Finance Document which, in the reasonable opinion of the Security Agent, it would not be practicable to distribute immediately, by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Security Agent as the Security Agent may think fit without being under any duty to diversify the same and the Security Agent shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate or exchange rate fluctuations except for any loss arising from the Security Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct;

(c)may, in the conduct of its obligations under and in respect of the Security Documents (otherwise than in relation to its right to make any declaration,

114

UK-#395507908-v8

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

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

35.21All enforcement action through the Security Agent

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

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

35.22Co-operation to achieve agreed priorities of application

The other Finance Parties shall co-operate with each other and with the Security Agent and any receiver or administrator under the Security Documents in realising the property and assets subject to the Security Documents and in ensuring that the net proceeds realised under the Security Documents after deduction of the expenses of realisation are applied in accordance with clause 35.19 (Order of application).

35.23Indemnity from Trust Property

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

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

115

UK-#395507908-v8

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

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

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

(b)The rights conferred by this clause 35.23 are without prejudice to any right to indemnity by law given to trustees generally and to any provision of the Finance Documents entitling the Security Agent or any other person to an indemnity in respect of, and/or reimbursement of, any liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by it in connection with any of the Finance Documents or the performance of any duties under any of the Finance Documents. Nothing contained in this clause 35.23 shall entitle the Security Agent or any other person to be indemnified in respect of any liabilities, damages, costs, claims, charges or expenses to the extent that the same arise from such person's own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

35.24Finance Parties to provide information

The other Finance Parties shall provide the Security Agent with such written information as it may reasonably require for the purposes of carrying out its duties and obligations under the Security Documents and, in particular, with such necessary directions in writing so as to enable the Security Agent to make the calculations and applications contemplated by clause 35.19 (Order of application) above and to apply amounts received under, and the proceeds of realisation of, the Security Documents as contemplated by the Security Documents, clause 38.5 (Partial payments) and clause 35.19 (Order of application).

35.25Release to facilitate enforcement and realisation

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

35.26Undertaking to pay

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

35.27Additional trustees

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

116

UK-#395507908-v8

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

(b)for the purpose of conforming with any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed; or

(c)for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any jurisdiction or the enforcement in any jurisdiction against any person of a judgment already obtained,

and any person so appointed shall (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) have such rights (including as to reasonable remuneration), powers, duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Security Agent shall have power to remove any person so appointed. At the request of the Security Agent, the other parties to this Agreement shall forthwith execute all such documents and do all such things as may be required to perfect such appointment or removal and each such party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent in its name and on its behalf to do the same. Such a person shall accede to this Agreement as a Security Agent to the extent necessary to carry out their role on terms satisfactory to the Security Agent and (subject always to the provisions of this Agreement) have such trusts, powers, authorities, liabilities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Security Agent by this Agreement and the other Finance Documents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment (being no less onerous than would have applied to the Security Agent but for the appointment). The Security Agent shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such person if the Security Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such person.

35.28Non-recognition of trust

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

(a)in relation to any jurisdiction the courts of which would not recognise or give effect to the trusts expressed to be constituted by this clause 35, the relationship of the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties shall be construed as one of principal and agent, but to the extent permissible under the laws of such jurisdiction, all the other provisions of this Agreement shall have full force and effect between the parties to this Agreement; and

(b)the provisions of this clause 35 insofar as they relate to the Security Agent in its capacity as trustee for the Finance Parties and the relationship between themselves and the Security Agent as their trustee may be amended by agreement between the other Finance Parties and the Security Agent. The Security Agent may amend all documents necessary to effect the alteration of the relationship between the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties and each such other party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent in its name and on its behalf to execute all documents necessary to effect such amendments.

36Conduct of business by the Finance Parties

36.1Finance Parties tax affairs

No provision of this Agreement will:

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

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

(c)oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax, other than to the extent required under clause 12.8 (FATCA Information).

117

UK-#395507908-v8

36.2Finance Parties acting together

Notwithstanding clause 2.3 (Finance Parties' rights and obligations), if the Agent makes a declaration under clause 31.23 (Acceleration) the Agent shall, in the names of all the Finance Parties, take such action on behalf of the Finance Parties and conduct such negotiations with the Borrowers and any Group Members and generally administer the Facility in accordance with the wishes of the Majority Lenders. All the Finance Parties shall be bound by the provisions of this clause and no Finance Party shall be entitled to take action independently against any Obligor or any of its assets without the prior consent of the Majority Lenders.

This clause shall not override clause 35 (Roles of Agent, Security Agent and Arranger) as it applies to the Security Agent.

36.3Majority Lenders

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

(b)If, within ten Business Days of the Agent despatching to each Lender a notice requesting instructions (or confirmation of instructions) from the Lenders or the agreement of the Lenders to any amendment, modification, waiver, variation or excuse of performance for the purposes of, or in relation to, any of the Finance Documents, the Agent has not received a reply specifically giving or confirming or refusing to give or confirm the relevant instructions or, as the case may be, approving or refusing to approve the proposed amendment, modification, waiver, variation or excuse of performance, then (irrespective of whether such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ responds at a later date) the Agent shall treat any Lender which has not so responded as having indicated a desire to be bound by the wishes of 60 per cent. of those Lenders (measured in terms of the total Commitments of those Lenders) which have so responded.

(c)For the purposes of clause 36.3(b), any Lender which notifies the Agent of a wish or intention to abstain on any particular issue shall be treated as if it had not responded.

(d)Clauses 36.3(b) and 36.3(c) shall not apply in relation to those matters referred to in, or the subject of, clause 44.2 (Exceptions).

36.4Conflicts

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

(b)No member of an Arranger Group shall use confidential information gained from any Obligor by virtue of the Facility or its relationships with any Obligor in connection with their performance of services for other persons. This shall not, however, affect any obligations that any member of an Arranger Group has as Agent in respect of the Finance Documents. The Borrowers also acknowledge that no member of an Arranger Group has any obligation to use or furnish to any Obligor information obtained from other persons for their benefit.

118

UK-#395507908-v8

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

37.1Payments to Finance Parties

If a Finance Party (a Recovering Finance Party) receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with clause 38 (Payment mechanics) (a Recovered Amount) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

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

(b)the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with clause 38 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(c)the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the Sharing Payment) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with clause 38.5 (Partial payments).

37.2Redistribution of payments

The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the Sharing Finance Parties) in accordance with clause 38.5 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of that Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties.

37.3Recovering Finance Party's rights

On a distribution by the Agent under clause 37.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor, as between the relevant Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

37.4Reversal of redistribution

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

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

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

37.5Exceptions

(a)This clause 37 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

38.4Clawback

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

38.5Partial payments

(d)All moneys received or held by the Security Agent or by a Receiver under a Security Document in a currency other than dollars may be sold for dollars and the Obligor which executed that Security Document shall indemnify the Security Agent against the full cost in relation to the sale.
