For the avoidance of doubt, no cancellation of the Available Commitments will occur and no prepayment of the Relevant Borrower’s Term Loan will be required in accordance with this Clause 5.9 following a Major Casualty Event if the relevant Vessel affected by such Major Casualty Event has become a Released Vessel in accordance with Clause 5.17.

(ii)

if following the cancellation in accordance with Clause 5.10(b)(i) of all Available Commitments, the aggregate of all Available Commitments and outstanding Loans still exceeds 60 per cent. of the Reduced Total Project Costs, the Borrowers shall prepay such Term Loan or Term Loans as the Borrowers may elect to the extent necessary in order for the aggregate of all Available Commitments and outstanding Loans to not exceed 60 per cent. of the Reduced Total Project Costs such that each Obligor otherwise continues to be in compliance with each of its obligations under this Agreement.

5.17	Release of one Vessel

(a)

If:

(i)

a Borrower has provided a form of charter for approval by the Intercreditor Agent as:

(A)

the initial Acceptable Charter for its Vessel; or

(B)

the initial Alternative Charter for its Vessel,

and such form of charter is not approved as an Acceptable Charter or Alternative Charter (as the case may be) in accordance with this Agreement; or

(ii)

following the occurrence of a Major Casualty Event the Intercreditor Agent has not approved a Repair Plan submitted by the relevant Borrower in accordance with Clause 19.34,

then the Guarantor may elect that the relevant Vessel shall be released from the scope of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with this Clause 5.17 provided that: (x) the Guarantor previously has not made such an

election in respect of any other Vessel; and (y) each Vessel other than the Vessel that is proposed to be released either shall be subject to: (1) an Acceptable Charter that has been signed by all parties thereto; or (2) an Alternative Charter that has been signed by all parties thereto and is fully effective or the effectiveness of which is subject only to the approval of the relevant local authority in the jurisdiction of operation of the Vessel as specified in such Alternative Charter. Such removed Vessel shall be the “Released Vessel”.

(b)

If in accordance with Clause 5.17(a) the Guarantor is entitled to elect a Vessel to be the Released Vessel and the Guarantor intends for such Vessel to become the Released Vessel, the Guarantor shall notify the Intercreditor Agent in writing of the same, which notice shall include:

(i)

the identity of the Vessel that the Guarantor proposes to become the Released Vessel;

(e)

On the Release Date, the Required Equity Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the proportion of the Allocable Equity Share of the Relevant Borrower (calculated assuming that such Relevant Borrower would have utilised 450,000,000 Dollars of the Term Loan Facility) as a percentage of the aggregate Allocable Equity Share of all Borrowers (based upon the same assumption with regard to the Relevant Borrower) immediately prior to the Release Date and as such calculation of the revised Required Equity Amount shall be notified by the Intercreditor Agent.

6.	INTEREST

6.1	Calculation of interest

(a)

Subject to Clause 6.2, the rate of interest on each Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum that is the aggregate of:

(i)

the Applicable Margin determined in accordance with Clause 6.6 as at the Quotation Day;

(ii)

LIBOR applicable for such period; and

(iii)

the applicable Mandatory Cost, if any.

6.2	CIRR Interest Rate

(a)

Upon ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the GIEK Facility Agent and in any event not later than the date falling ten Business Days prior to the Delivery Date of such Borrower’s Vessel, a Borrower that is not an Alternative Arrangement Borrower may select that the CIRR Interest Rate shall apply in respect of the GIEK Tranche of each Loan made under its Term Loan.

(b)

Any selection by a Borrower (other than an Alternative Arrangement Borrower) of the CIRR Interest Rate in accordance with Clause 6.2(a) is irrevocable and, following such a selection, the CIRR Interest Rate shall be the interest rate payable in respect of the GIEK Facility Lender’s participation in each Loan made under the relevant Borrower’s Term Loan either:

(i)

if such Term Loan has not been Utilised prior to such selection, throughout the term of such Borrower’s Term Loan; or

6.3	Payment of interest

The Borrower to which a Loan has been made shall pay accrued interest on that Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and other than in respect of any Interest Period ending no later than the date falling six months after the first Utilisation of its Term Loan, if the Interest Period is longer than three months, on the dates falling at three monthly intervals after the first day of such Interest Period). All computations of any rate of interest commission or fee under any Finance Document shall be based on a year of 360 days and the actual days elapsed.

6.4	Default interest

(a)

If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate, subject to Clause 6.4(b), that is two per cent. per annum higher than the rate that would have been payable if the overdue amount, during the period of non-payment, had constituted a Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Relevant Facility Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 6.4 immediately shall be payable by the Obligor on demand by the Relevant Facility Agent.

(b)

If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a Loan that became due on a day that was not the last day of an 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 Interest Period relating to that Loan; and

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

(c)

Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount shall be compounded (to the extent permitted by law)² with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but shall remain immediately due and payable.

6.5	Notification of rates of interest

The Intercreditor Agent promptly shall notify the Relevant Borrower and each Facility Agent of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement, which rate shall be determined no later than the Specified Time and provided that, for the avoidance of doubt and not withstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any reduction to the Applicable Margin in accordance with paragraph (b)(ii) of the definition of Applicable Margin shall take effect immediately upon the relevant Extension Date.

On each receipt of the Financial Statements of the Guarantor in accordance with Clause 19.4, no later than the Specified Time the Intercreditor Agent shall calculate the Applicable Margin that shall apply for the fiscal quarter of the Guarantor that commences immediately following the fiscal quarter in respect of which such Financial Statements were provided and shall notify each Borrower and each Facility Agent of such determination.

(b)

Any Applicable Margin determined by the Intercreditor Agent in accordance with Clause 6.6(a) in respect of any fiscal quarter shall apply from the first day of the fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter in respect of which the Financial Statements were provided, and continuing for the duration of such fiscal quarter.

7.1	Selection of Interest Periods

(a)

A Borrower may select an Interest Period for a Loan in the Utilisation Request for that Loan or (if the Loan has already been borrowed) in a Selection Notice.

(b)

Each Selection Notice for a Loan is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Facility Agents and the Intercreditor Agent by the Borrower to which that Loan was made not later than the Specified Time.

(c)

If a Borrower fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Facility Agents and the Intercreditor Agent in accordance with Clause 7.1(b), the relevant Interest Period, subject to Clause 7.1(d), shall be three months.

²	The compounding of interest under Luxembourg law is only possible on an annual basis.

(d)

Subject to this Clause 7.1, a Borrower may select an Interest Period of three or six months or any other period agreed between the Borrower and the Intercreditor Agent.

(e)

A Borrower may select an Interest Period of less than three months or six months, if necessary to ensure that there are Loans (with an aggregate outstanding amount equal to or greater than the repayment instalment) that have an Interest Period ending on a Repayment Date for such Borrower to make the repayment instalment due on that Repayment Date.

(f)

In the case of the first Interest Period of a Utilisation of a Term Loan, a Borrower shall select an Interest Period of less than three or six months if required to ensure that such first Interest Period ends on the same day as each Interest Period for any previous Utilisation of such Term Loan.

(g)

An Interest Period for a Loan shall not extend beyond the Final Repayment Date for the relevant Term Loan.

(h)

Each Interest Period for a Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date or (if already made) on the last day of its preceding Interest Period.

If two or more Interest Periods:

(a)

relate to Loans made by the same Lenders and to the same Borrower; and

8.	CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

8.1	Absence of quotations

Subject to Clause 8.2, if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

8.2	Market disruption

If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on the share of each Lender (other than the share of the GIEK Facility Lender if the Borrower has selected the CIRR Interest Rate in accordance with Clause 6.2) in that Loan for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum that is the sum of:

(a)

the Applicable Margin;

(b)

the rate notified to the Relevant Facility Agent by such Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it reasonably may select; and

(c)

the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to such Lender’s participation in the Loan.

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender participating in any Loan is not affected by the relevant Market Disruption Event, the rate notified to the Relevant Facility Agent in accordance with Clause 8.2(b), shall be LIBOR applicable to the relevant Interest Period.

8.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding

(a)

If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Intercreditor Agent or the relevant Borrower so requires, the Intercreditor Agent and the relevant 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.

(b)

Any alternative basis for determining the rate of interest agreed in accordance with Clause 8.3(a) shall be binding on all Parties and shall continue to be the basis for determining the rate of interest in respect of the relevant Loan or Loans (other than any part of that Loan that has been provided by the GIEK Facility Lender if the Borrower has selected the CIRR Interest Rate in accordance with Clause 6.2) until the Intercreditor Agent confirms to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers that the Market Disruption Event referred to in Clause 8.3(a) no longer is continuing and thereafter that interest shall be calculated in accordance with Clause 6.1.

8.4	Break Costs

(a)

FEES

9.1	Commitment fee

(a)

Subject to Clause 9.1(b), the Borrowers shall pay to each Facility Agent (for the account of each Lender for which it is the Relevant Facility Agent) a commitment fee computed at the rate of 50 per cent. of the Applicable Margin per annum on the Available Commitment of each such Lender from the date of this Agreement until the end of the Availability Period of all Term Loans.

(b)

Following any selection by a Borrower of the CIRR Interest Rate for the GIEK Tranche of its Term Loan in accordance with Clause 6.2, such Borrower shall pay to the GIEK Facility Agent (for the account of the GIEK Facility Lender) a commitment fee computed at the rate of 50 per cent. of the CIRR Applicable Margin per annum on the Available Commitment of the GIEK Facility Lender (in place of the commitment fee otherwise required to be paid by such Borrower to the GIEK Facility Agent in accordance with Clause 9.1(a)).

(c)

The accrued commitment fee is payable by the Borrowers on the last day of each calendar quarter that ends during the Availability Period of any Term Loan, on the last day of the Availability Period of all Term Loans and, if cancelled in full, on the cancelled amount of the Commitment of each Lender in respect of the Term Loan Facility at the time the cancellation is effective.

any relevant insurance and/or policy endorsements are available in the commercial insurance market,

and the Intercreditor Agent and such Borrower fail to reach agreement on such matter within 30 days of the commencement of negotiations on such matter, they jointly shall refer the matter to an independent insurance expert (the “Insurance Expert”) (whose identity and terms of reference shall be agreed upon by such Borrower and the Intercreditor Agent or, in the absence of such agreement within 30 days of the commencement of negotiations on such matter, as specified by the Chairman of the Association of British Insurers) who shall make a determination within 30 days as to the availability of the available insurance. In making such determination, the Insurance Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

(d)

The determination by the Insurance Expert shall be binding on the Parties. If the Insurance Expert determines that the insurance required in accordance with Clause 25.1(a)(iii) is available in an amount equal to the Maximum P&I Limit on reasonable commercial terms (or, if not so available, the Insurance Expert otherwise determines the amount that represents the maximum amount of such insurance that is available at that time on reasonable commercial terms), or, as the case may be, that the relevant insurance or applicable policy endorsements are available in the commercial insurance market, or if the insurance required in accordance with Clause 25.1(a)(iii) subsequently becomes available in an amount equal to the Maximum P&I Limit on reasonable commercial terms or, as the case may be, the relevant insurance or policy endorsements that were not previously available subsequently become available in the commercial insurance market, the relevant Borrower promptly shall procure such insurance or policy endorsements, as the case may be.

To the extent, however, that the Security Trustee or an agent or nominee of the Security Trustee maintains possession or control of any of the Secured Collateral at any office of the Security Trustee, the Security Trustee shall, or shall instruct such agent or nominee to, grant the Obligors and the Secured Parties the access to such of the Secured Collateral that they require for the conduct of their businesses to the extent contemplated by the Finance Documents, except, in the case of the Obligors, if and to the extent an Event of Default is continuing.

27.13 Right

to initiate judicial proceedings, etc.

(a)

If the Security Trustee shall have received an Enforcement Direction:

(i)

the Security Trustee shall have the right and power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as (subject to receipt of the Requisite Approval and to limitations on commencing bankruptcy proceedings as set forth in this Agreement) it may deem appropriate to protect and enforce the rights vested in it in the Finance Documents; and

(ii)

the Security Trustee, either after entry or without entry, may proceed (subject to receipt of the Requisite Approval and to limitations on commencing bankruptcy proceedings as set forth in this Agreement) by suit or suits at law or in equity to enforce such rights and to foreclose upon the Secured Collateral assigned for the benefit and to the extent of the interest therein of such Secured Parties and to realise as permitted under any Finance Document upon all or, from time to time, any of the property of the trust established under any Finance Document for the benefit of such Secured Parties under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b)

If the Security Trustee receives an Enforcement Direction, it is entitled to assume that all applicable conditions under the Finance Documents for taking any action specified therein have been satisfied.

27.14 Exculpatory provisions

The Security Trustee makes no representations as to the value or condition of the trust created under this Agreement or any part thereof, or as to the title of the Obligors thereto or as to the rights and interests granted or any Security Interest afforded in this Agreement or any other Finance Document or as to the validity, execution (except by itself), enforceability, legality or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Finance Document or the Senior Debt Obligations, and none of the Security Trustee or any other Agent shall incur any liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters.

27.15 Power of attorney

Each Obligor by way of security for its obligations under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents irrevocably appoints the Security Trustee to be its attorney and to do anything while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing that the Obligors have authorised the Security Trustee to do under this Agreement or are themselves required to do under this Agreement but have failed to do (and the Security Trustee may delegate that power on such terms as it sees fit, acting reasonably).

27.16 Miscellaneous

(a)

The Security Trustee, acting reasonably, shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of the trust established under this Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction in England at the expense of the Obligors. In the event of any disagreement between the other Parties resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with any asset held by the Security Trustee, where the terms of this Agreement or the other Finance Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Security Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstance then existing, or the Security Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take, the Security Trustee shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarifications of any directions, from any Secured Party entitled to give such instructions or confirmation as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, powers, authorities and discretions and the Security Trustee may refrain from taking any action unless and until instructed otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the Parties entitled to give such instruction, or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction in England, and the Security Trustee shall not incur any liability in acting or refraining from acting on such ambiguous instructions.

(b)

No Agent shall be liable for liabilities or damages incurred in the management or operations of the trusts established under this Agreement or in accordance with any Finance Document, except for those contracted or incurred as a result of its gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.

28.

Each such request delivered by the Intercreditor Agent shall specify:

(i)

the subject of the vote;

(ii)

the decision period within which the vote (if any) of the Secured Parties must be received (which period may be extended by the Intercreditor Agent at any time in its sole discretion); and

the Requisite Approval required for such matter to be approved.

(g)

If a vote is required in accordance with Clause 28.1(f), each of the relevant Facility Agents shall obtain instructions from the Lenders for which it is Facility Agent and that are entitled to vote and, within the decision period specified in the notice delivered by the Intercreditor Agent in accordance with Clause 28.1(f), shall provide a certificate to the Intercreditor Agent setting forth the decision of such Lenders with respect to the matter for which its instructions were sought by the Intercreditor Agent in accordance with Clause 28.1(f). In any vote by Lenders under this Agreement or in respect of any Finance Document, any Lender that has entered into a sub-participation agreement relating to a Commitment or other agreement or arrangement having a substantially similar economic effect shall vote as Lender of record and no other Person party to any such sub-participation or arrangement shall be entitled to vote in accordance with this Agreement or any other Finance Document. No Facility Agent (in its capacity as Facility Agent) shall be permitted to vote in favour of any Modification, direction or decision that requires (or for which any Secured Party requires) the instructions or consent of one hundred per cent. of the Lenders unless all Lenders represented by such Facility Agent vote in favour of such Modification, direction or decision.

The Intercreditor Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any instruction given to it by a Facility Agent and the Security Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any instruction given to it by the Intercreditor Agent, in each case without being required to make any enquiries as to whether the Facility Agent or Intercreditor Agent (as applicable) had received the requisite instructions from the Lenders or the Facility Agents (as applicable) in order to deliver such instruction.

(k)

Following any request from an Obligor to the Intercreditor Agent for any action in respect of which Requisite Approval is required, the Intercreditor Agent promptly following such vote shall notify the Obligors of the outcome of the vote taken in accordance with this Clause 28.1; provided, however, that the Intercreditor Agent shall not be required to disclose the identity of any Secured Party or the overall percentage of the Secured Parties in each case that voted in favour of or against any such request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any vote that is taken for the purpose of approving (x) a charter as an Acceptable Charter or an Alternative Charter and such vote fails to obtain Requisite Approval but the Majority Lenders have voted to approve such proposed Acceptable Charter or Alternative Charter, or (y) a Person as an Acceptable Charterer and such vote fails to obtain Requisite Approval but the Majority Lenders or Super Majority Lenders (as applicable) have voted to approve such proposed Acceptable Charterer, then the Intercreditor Agent shall inform the Guarantor of the identify of any Lender that has voted against the relevant proposal.

(l)

Except as set out in Clause 28.1(m), if a Lender fails to provide an instruction to its Facility Agent within the time period for providing such instruction (as such time period has been notified to such Lender by its Facility Agent in respect of such decision in accordance with Clause 28.1(f)):

(i)

if such instruction relates to any direction or decision in accordance with Clause 28.2(c)(i) or Clause 28.2(c)(iii) (and for the purposes only of determining whether the Intercreditor Agent has been instructed by the Facility Agents representing one hundred per cent. of the Lenders), such

Lender will be deemed to have voted not to approve the relevant Person as an Acceptable Charterer or the relevant charter as an Acceptable Charter or an Alternative Charter (as the case may be); or

(ii)

if such instruction relates to any Modification, direction or decision other than any direction or decision of the type contemplated by Clause 28.1(l)(i)), the Intercreditor Agent shall disregard the Credit Participation, Commitment and/or participation in the Loans (as applicable) of such Lender and such Credit Participation, Commitment and/or participation in the Loans (as applicable) shall be excluded from the numerator and the denominator of any calculation for the purposes of determining whether the Requisite Approval has been obtained.

(m)

The provisions of Clause 28.1(l)(ii) shall not apply to any Modification, direction or decision that expressly requires the prior consent of all the Lenders or in respect of which the Intercreditor Agent is required to act upon the instructions of Facility Agents representing one hundred per cent. of the Lenders.

29.

CLAIMS OF SECURED PARTIES

29.1	Initiation of Claims

Each Secured Party that is a Party, each on its own behalf and on behalf of each Person that it represents, agrees that it shall not commence any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, against any Obligor, whether or not under any Bankruptcy Law (and including without any limitation expedited, summary or other proceeding to obtain judgment for a debt owed), other than in accordance with Clause 29.2.

29.2	No direct enforcement by Lenders

(a)

Other than as expressly provided to the contrary in any Finance Document, the Security Trustee and the Intercreditor Agent shall be the sole Parties authorised on behalf of the Secured Parties to (and only upon receipt of an Enforcement Direction) take any Enforcement Action.

(b)

Other than as expressly provided to the contrary in any Finance Document, each Secured Party that is a Party (other than the Security Trustees and the Intercreditor Agents) shall be prohibited from taking any Enforcement Action and acknowledges and agrees that it shall be impossible to measure in money the injury or damages that would be suffered should an Enforcement Action be

102

commenced by it in violation of this prohibition, and that in the event of such commencement, the Obligors and/or the other Secured Parties could suffer irreparable harm for which there would be no adequate remedy at law and accordingly consents, in addition to all other remedies available under applicable Legal Requirements, to the specific enforcement against it by any Obligor, the Security Trustee and/or any Secured Party of the provisions of Clause 29.1 and this Clause 29.2 without the posting of any bond, and to any and all other equitable, injunctive or other relief available in any jurisdiction in which any such proceeding may have been commenced in violation of this Clause 29.2, and if any action should be brought in equity it shall not raise the defence that there is an adequate remedy at law.

(c)

The Security Trustee may (and shall, upon receipt of instructions from the Intercreditor Agent and together with an indemnity satisfactory to it) seek such equitable, injunctive or other relief available in respect of any violation of Clause 29.1 and/or this Clause 29.2. This Clause 29.2 shall not limit the right of each Facility Agent to bring actions at law or in equity to enforce the provisions of Clause 29.1 and this Clause 29.2 against any other Facility Agent or Secured Party irrespective of whether any action has been taken by the Security Trustee or the Intercreditor Agent.

30.

CHANGES TO THE LENDERS AND OBLIGORS

30.1	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

Subject to this Clause 30, a Lender (the “Existing Lender”) may:

(a)

assign any of its rights; or

(b)

transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations,

to another entity (the “New Lender”) provided that:

(i)

until the first date on which an Acceptable Charter or an Alternative Charter shall first have been approved in accordance with this Agreement in respect of each Vessel (other than a Released Vessel) or, if earlier, the date on which the Availability Period of all Term Loans shall have expired, such transfer or assignment is made:

(A)

in respect of the entire Commitment of such Lender; or

(B)

to any other Person that then is a Lender;

(ii)

the New Lender is a commercial bank; and

(iii)

where such Existing Lender also is a Hedging Party at that time, any Hedging Instrument to which such Existing Lender is the Hedging Party must be transferred to another Permitted Hedge Provider at the same time as any assignment or transfer in accordance with this Clause 30,

provided that none of the restrictions or conditions set out in Clauses 30.1(b)(i) to 30.1(b)(iii) and no other restriction or condition shall apply in respect of any such assignment or transfer by any Existing Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default.

103

30.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer

(a)

An assignment shall be effective only on:

(i)

receipt by the Relevant Facility Agent and the Intercreditor Agent (whether in the relevant Assignment Agreement or otherwise) of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Relevant Facility Agent and the Intercreditor Agent) that the New Lender shall assume the same obligations to the other Secured Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and

(ii)

performance by the Relevant Facility Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable Legal Requirements in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Relevant Facility Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender.

(b)

A transfer shall be effective only if the Lenders comply with the procedure set out in Clause 30.5.

(c)

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 10 or Clause 11,

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is entitled to receive payment under those Clauses only to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This Clause 30.2 shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Term Loan Facility.

(d)

Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Relevant Facility Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

(e)

Each New Lender shall execute an Accession Deed substantially in the form set out in Part A of Schedule 28 as a pre-condition to its accession to the relevant Finance Documents.

30.3	Assignment or transfer fee

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

104

30.4	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(a)

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

(i)

the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document or any other documents;

(ii)

the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii)

the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under any Finance Document or any other documents; or

(iv)

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

and any representations or warranties implied by any Legal Requirement are excluded.

(b)

Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Secured Parties that it:

(i)

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

(ii)

shall 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 any Finance Document or any Commitment is in force.

(c)

Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i)

accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 30; 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 otherwise.

30.5	Procedure for transfer

(a)

Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 30.2 a transfer is effected in accordance with Clause 30.5(c) when the Relevant Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Relevant Facility Agent, subject to Clause 30.5(b), as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall execute that Transfer Certificate.

(b)

The Relevant Facility Agent shall be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender only once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable Legal Requirements in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

105

(c)

Subject to Clause 30.9, on the Transfer Date:

(i)

to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each Obligor and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the “Discharged Rights and Obligations”);

(ii)

each Obligor and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another that differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

(iii)

the Secured Parties 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 such New Lender as a result of the transfer and to that extent each Secured Party shall be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents;

(iv)

the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender”; and

(v)

the Relevant Facility Agent shall notify the Obligors of the transfer that has taken place and the identity of the New Lender.

30.6	Procedure for assignment

(a)

Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 30.2, an assignment may be effected in accordance with Clause 30.6(c) when the Relevant Facility Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Relevant Facility Agent, subject to Clause 30.6(b), as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall execute that Assignment Agreement.

(b)

The Relevant Facility Agent only shall be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable Legal Requirements in relation to the assignment to such New Lender.

(c)

Subject to Clause 30.9, on the Transfer Date:

(i)

the Existing Lender shall assign absolutely to the New Lender the rights under the Finance Documents expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;

(ii)

the Existing Lender shall be released by each Obligor and the other Secured Parties from the obligations owed by it (the “Relevant Obligations”) and expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement;

(iii)

the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and shall be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations; and

106

(iv)

the Relevant Facility Agent shall notify the Obligors of the assignment that has taken place and the identity of the New Lender.

(d)

Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 30.6 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligors or unless in accordance with Clause 30.5, to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 30.2.

30.7	Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Obligors

The Relevant Facility Agent, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate or an Assignment Agreement, shall send to the Intercreditor Agent and the Guarantor a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement.

30.8	Security over Lenders’ rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 30, each Lender without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time may charge, assign or otherwise create any 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 to a federal reserve or central bank; provided that no such charge, assignment or other Security Interest shall:

(a)

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

(b)

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.

30.9	Pro rata interest settlement

If the Relevant Facility Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a “pro rata basis” to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer in accordance with Clause 30.5 or any assignment in accordance with Clause 30.6 the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):

(a)

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

(b)

the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender shall not include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

(i)

when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts shall be payable to the Existing Lender; and

107

(ii)

the amount payable to the New Lender on that date shall be the amount that would, but for the application of this Clause 30.9, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

30.12

Disenfranchisement on Debt Purchase Transactions entered into by Investor Affiliates

For so long as an Investor Affiliate (i) beneficially owns a Commitment or (ii) has entered into a sub-participation agreement relating to a Commitment or other agreement or arrangement having a substantially similar economic effect and such agreement or arrangement has not been terminated:

(i)

in ascertaining whether any given percentage (including, for the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of the aggregate Commitments, Available Commitments, outstanding principal amount of any Loan or outstanding Senior Debt Obligations has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under any Finance Document such Commitment shall be deemed to be zero; and

(ii)

for the purposes of Clause 30.12(a)(i), such Investor Affiliate or the Person with whom it has entered into such sub-participation, other agreement or arrangement shall be deemed not to be a Lender (unless in the case of a Person not being an Investor Affiliate it is a Lender by virtue otherwise than by beneficially owning the relevant Commitment).

(b)

Unless such Debt Purchase Transaction is an assignment or transfer, each Lender promptly shall notify the Relevant Facility Agent in writing if it knowingly enters into a Debt Purchase Transaction with an Investor Affiliate (a “Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction”), such notification to be substantially in the form set out in Part I of Schedule 32.

(c)

A Lender promptly shall notify the Relevant Facility Agent if a Notifiable Debt Purchase Transaction to which it is a party:

(i)

is terminated; or

(d)

Each Investor Affiliate that is a Lender agrees that:

in relation to any meeting or conference call to which all the Lenders are invited to attend or participate, it shall not attend or participate in the same if so requested by the Relevant Facility Agent or, unless the Relevant Facility Agent otherwise agrees, be entitled to receive the agenda or any minutes of the same; and

108

(ii)

in its capacity as Lender, unless the Relevant Facility Agent otherwise agrees, it shall not be entitled to receive any report or other document prepared at the behest of, or on the instructions of, the Relevant Facility Agent or one or more of the Secured Parties.

hereunder or thereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for belief that repayment of such funds or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. No Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it in accordance with this Agreement or the other Finance Documents, at the request or instruction of an Obligor or any Secured Party, unless such Agent shall have been offered security or indemnity satisfactory to it (acting reasonably) against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or instruction (including interest thereon from the time incurred until reimbursed).

After consultation with the relevant Borrower, the Majority Lenders represented by that Facility Agent by 30 days’ notice to the Relevant Facility Agent (or, at any time the Agent is an Impaired Agent, by giving any shorter notice determined by the Majority Lenders represented by that Facility Agent), may require such Relevant Facility Agent to resign in accordance with Clause 31.16(b). In such event, such Facility Agent shall resign in accordance with Clause 31.16(b).

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

(ii)

entitled to receive and act upon any notice, request, document or communication or make any decision or determination under any Finance Document made or delivered on that day,

(d)

Any Lender by notice to its Relevant Facility Agent may appoint a Person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications, information and documents to be made or dispatched to such Lender under the Finance Documents.

(e)

the Intercreditor Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Intercreditor Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions in accordance with or in connection with this Clause 33.8; and

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Relevant Facility Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender for which it is the Relevant Facility Agent, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by each such Facility Agent as a weighted average of the relevant affected Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each such 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 its Relevant Facility Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to such Facility Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of such 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. If a Lender fails to notify any Additional Cost Rate in accordance with this paragraph 3, the Relevant Facility Agent shall be entitled to assume that no such Additional Cost Rate has been incurred by such Lender.

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

E x 0.01 per cent. per annum.

300

Where:

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

For the purposes of this Schedule:

(a)

“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;

(b)

“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under Column 1 of 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); and

199

(c)

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

If requested by a Facility Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to such 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.

6.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Relevant 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:

(a)

the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

(b)

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

Each

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

The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Relevant Facility Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Relevant 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.

No Facility Agent shall have any liability to any Person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate that 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, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.

Each Facility Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders for which it is the Relevant Facility Agent on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each such Lender based on the information provided by each such Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above.

10.	Any determination by a 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 for which it is the Relevant Facility Agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

11.

A Facility Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders for which it is the Relevant Facility Agent and the other Facility Agents, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments that are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any

200

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.

ACCEPTABLE CHARTER DIRECT AGREEMENT

This ACCEPTABLE CHARTER DIRECT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated as of [•], is made by and between [Client] (“Client”), DNB NOR BANK ASA (NEW YORK BRANCH), as security trustee (“Security Trustee”) for the sole benefit of itself and the other secured parties represented by the Security Trustee under the Finance Documents (as such term is defined below) (“Secured Parties”), and Pacific [•] Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of Liberia (“Borrower”). Each party may be referred to as “Party” and together as “Parties”.

Recitals

Vessel. Borrower will be the registered owner of an ultra-deepwater dynamically positioned drill ship named [•] with hull number [•] (“Vessel”) to be built by Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. (“Shipbuilder”) pursuant to a contract for the construction and sale of a drillship dated [•] between Borrower and Shipbuilder (the “Shipbuilding Contract”).

B.	The Drilling Contract. Borrower has entered into an agreement with Client to make the Vessel available to Client for drilling services for an initial period of [•] years, subject to earlier termination rights after delivery (“Drilling Contract”).

The Finance Documents. Borrower, Pacific [•] Ltd., Pacific [•] Ltd., Pacific [•] Ltd., Pacific Drilling Limited, Security Trustee, DnB NOR Bank ASA (New York Branch) and Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank, as the mandated lead arrangers, the commercial facility lenders listed in schedule 3 thereto as commercial facility lenders, Eksportfinans ASA, as GIEK facility lender, Export-Import Bank of Korea, as KEXIM facility lender, DnB NOR Bank ASA (New York Branch), as commercial facility agent and GIEK facility agent, Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank, as KEXIM facility agent, each hedging party that has acceded thereto each as a hedging party and DnB NOR Bank ASA (New York Branch) as intercreditor agent and accounts bank, among others, are party to a project facilities agreement dated [•] 2010 (the “Project Facilities Agreement”) and certain other related finance documents (together with the Project Facilities Agreement, the “Finance Documents”), pursuant to which the senior credit providers have agreed to make available to Borrower and each of Pacific [•] Ltd., Pacific [•] Ltd. and Pacific [•] Ltd. certain loan facilities to finance the construction, operation and other costs and expenses associated with the acquisition of four drill ships, including the Vessel.

Security. As security for Borrower’s obligations under the Finance Documents, by way of a debenture dated [•] 2010 (the “Debenture”) Borrower has granted: (a) an assignment by way of first ranking continuing security of all of its present and future rights, title, benefit and interest in, to and under the Drilling Contract; and (b) a first priority floating charge over certain of its assets and undertakings, in each case to Security Trustee. Borrower also has granted or will grant to Security Trustee a first priority ship mortgage over the Vessel (“Mortgage”).

Defaults. A description of those events of default (“Events of Default”) under the Project Facilities Agreement that would entitle Security Trustee to enforce its rights under the Debenture, the Mortgage or any other security document are set out in Schedule 1 to this Agreement. Any failure by Client to perform in whole or part any of its obligations under the Drilling Contract is called in this Agreement a “Client Default”.

329

Client and Borrower have each entered into the Drilling Contract upon the condition that each Party enter into this Agreement. The Finance Documents require that Borrower cause the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement and it is a condition precedent to the lenders making available funds to Borrower under the Finance Documents that Client execute and deliver this Agreement.

G.	In consideration of the following terms and conditions, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

2.	CONSENT TO SECURITY

2.1

Quiet Enjoyment Undertaking of Security Trustee. Security Trustee, for itself and in its capacity as agent for the Secured Parties, undertakes that provided no Client Default has occurred and is continuing and Client is in compliance with its obligations under this Agreement, Security Trustee shall, for the duration of the Drilling Contract and any extension thereof permitted by the Drilling Contract, allow Client to receive services from the Vessel in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Drilling Contract. Except where any Client Default has occurred and is continuing, Security Trustee will not exercise any rights it may have against the Vessel or in connection with the Drilling Contract in accordance with the Finance Documents, except as provided by Articles 2.4 to 2.8 below. None of the restrictions imposed in this Agreement on the rights of Security Trustee under the Debenture, Mortgage or any other Finance Document, shall apply if a Client Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Security Trustee will not exercise any rights under the Debenture, Mortgage or under any other Finance Document that will, or are likely to, interfere with Client’s receipt of services from the Vessel pursuant to the Drilling Contract in any way unless it gives Client a written notice of the occurrence of a Client Default and, without prejudice to Borrower’s rights under Clauses [•] of the Drilling Contract, gives Client a period of sixty days (and an additional period of time, not to exceed forty five days, so long as Client is diligently pursuing a cure) to cure the circumstances giving rise to such Client Default. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent Security Trustee from taking steps to preserve or protect the security of the Debenture, the Mortgage or any other Finance Document as and when permitted by the Finance Documents if Security Trustee reasonably believes it is necessary to take such steps.

2.2

Consent to Security. Client (i) consents to the granting of the Mortgage in favour of Security Trustee, (ii) consents in all respects to the granting of the security interests referred to in Recital D above including the assignment to Security Trustee pursuant to the Debenture of all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Drilling Contract (including all moneys payable to Borrower, and any claims, judgments and awards in favour of Borrower, under or in connection with the Drilling Contract), (iii) acknowledges the right of Security Trustee or any designee of Security Trustee, subject to Article 2.1, in the exercise of Security Trustee’s rights and remedies under the Finance Documents after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all rights of Borrower under the Drilling Contract, (iv) acknowledges that the Borrower may not (and agrees that it will not), without obtaining the prior written consent of the Security Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Finance Documents, amend or terminate the Drilling Contract provided that until such time as Client receives notice from Security Trustee to the contrary, Borrower may agree with Client amendments to the Drilling Contract of a minor operational nature that shall be copied by Borrower to Security Trustee promptly following execution and which amendments do not affect, amend, vary or supplement any terms of the Drilling Contract relating to the calculation or payment of hire or any other amounts (other than any supplemental or consequential adjustments to the hire as are expressly contemplated by the terms of the Drilling Contract as of the date of this Agreement).

2.3

Acknowledgment of Security. Client acknowledges that it has received notice of each assignment granted pursuant to the Debenture and the Mortgage.

331

2.4

Substitute Borrower. Client agrees that (i) if Security Trustee notifies Client that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that Security Trustee or its designee has elected to exercise the rights and remedies set forth in the Finance Documents, then if Security Trustee or its designee elects to assume Borrower’s obligations under the Drilling Contract, then Security Trustee or its designee (“Substitute Owner”), respectively, shall be substituted for Borrower under the Drilling Contract and (ii) in such event, Client shall (without prejudice to Article 2.5 below) recognise Substitute Owner and shall continue to perform its obligations under the Drilling Contract in favor of Substitute Owner, provided that:

(a)

Security Trustee shall give Client not less than thirty days’ prior written notice of the intended transfer and details of the proposed Substitute Owner,

(b)

Security Trustee shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to retain the services of the Key Individuals (as defined in Schedule 2 attached hereto) to ensure the smooth continuing operations of the Vessel throughout the transition in ownership,

(c)

in the opinion of Client (acting reasonably and without undue delay), the proposed Substitute Owner, either in its own right or by virtue of having entered into an agreement or agreements for the operation and management of the Vessel with another party or parties, has the legal capacity and the financial resources and expertise to own and operate the Vessel and, without limitation, to perform Borrower’s obligations under the Drilling Contract and, notwithstanding the foregoing, Client hereby agrees, for the purposes of this paragraph (C), that Security Trustee or any of its Affiliates automatically shall be deemed to have the requisite financial resources and expertise to own and operate the Vessel and perform Borrower’s obligations under the Drilling Contract,

(d)

the proposed Substitute Owner undertakes to Client in writing prior to the substitution to remedy as soon as practicable any outstanding remediable defaults of Borrower under the Drilling Contract and will assume all remaining obligations owed to Client with respect thereto,

(e)

Substitute Owner’s ownership of the Vessel will not violate any law, regulation, or rule binding upon Client and will not result in any civil or criminal penalty, charge or fine becoming payable by Client, and

(f)

the transfer to Substitute Owner of the Vessel will not result in an increase in the amount of taxes, fees or other charges of any kind payable by Client.

2.5

Preservation of Client’s Rights. Provided that no Client Default has occurred and is continuing, any disposal of the Vessel by Security Trustee to a Substitute Owner in accordance with Article 2.4 shall not prejudice Client’s rights under the Drilling Contract accruing before or after the date of such disposal, including any right that Client may then have, subject to Article 2.6 below, to terminate the Drilling Contract. If Security Trustee exercises its rights under Article 2.4 above to dispose of the Vessel to a Substitute Owner during the term of the Drilling Contract, Security Trustee shall comply with the conditions set out in Article 2.1 above and shall (subject to any requirements or restrictions imposed by any applicable law in relation to disposal of

332

the Vessel) dispose of the Vessel expressly subject to the Drilling Contract (always provided that no Client Default has occurred and is continuing). If the Vessel is disposed of, subject to the Drilling Contract, Security Trustee shall ensure that Substitute Owner (and any other person providing financing to Substitute Owner for the purposes of the acquisition by Substitute Owner of the Vessel) issues, prior to such disposal, an undertaking to Client on substantially the same terms as the undertaking granted by Security Trustee in Article 2.1.

2.6

Right to Cure. In the event of a default or breach by Borrower in the performance of any of its obligations under the Drilling Contract, or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition under the Drilling Contract that would immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, enable Client to suspend or terminate the Drilling Contract (a “Default”), Client shall not suspend or terminate the Drilling Contract until it first gives written notice of the Default to Security Trustee, and Client affords Borrower and Security Trustee a period of sixty days from receipt by the Security Trustee of such notice (and an additional period of time, not to exceed forty five days, so long as Security Trustee is diligently pursuing a cure) to cure the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or termination rights.

2.7

No Suspension, Termination, Cancellation, Amendment or Assignment. Except to the extent permitted in this Agreement, Client agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Security Trustee:

(a)

enter into or agree to any consensual suspension, cancellation, termination or amendment of the Drilling Contract; or

(b)

assign or otherwise transfer any of its right, title or interest under the Drilling Contract.

2.8

Replacement Agreement. In the event of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or other similar proceeding affecting Borrower, Client shall, at the option of Security Trustee, enter into a new agreement with Security Trustee or its transferee or nominee (“Replacement Owner”) on terms substantially the same as the terms of the Drilling Contract. Security Trustee (or, as the case may be, Replacement Owner) shall comply with the provisions of Article 2.4(A) - (F), which shall apply for the purposes of this Article 2.8 as if the words “proposed Substitute Owner” have been replaced by the words “proposed Replacement Owner.”

2.9

Shares Charge. Client acknowledges the shares charge granted by the shareholder of Borrower and that, pursuant to its rights of enforcement under the shares charge, Security Trustee may, subject to the following provisions of this Article 2.9, transfer the shares in Borrower to a third party (“New Shares Owner”) and, in such event, Client shall continue to perform its obligations under the Drilling Contract, provided that:

(a)

Security Trustee shall give Client not less than thirty days’ prior written notice of the intended transfer and details of the proposed New Shares Owner,

(b)

in the opinion of Client (acting reasonably and without undue delay), the proposed New Shares Owner, either in its own right or by virtue of having entered into an agreement or agreements for the operation of the Vessel with

333

another party or parties, has the legal capacity and the financial resources and expertise to operate the Vessel through Borrower and, without limitation, to procure performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Drilling Contract and, notwithstanding the foregoing, Client hereby agrees, for the purposes of this paragraph (B), that Security Trustee or any of its Affiliates automatically shall be deemed to have the requisite financial resources and expertise to operate the Vessel through Borrower and procure the performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Drilling Contract,

(c)

New Shares Owner’s ownership of the shares in Borrower will not violate any law, regulation, or rule binding upon Client and will not result in any civil or criminal penalty, charge or fine becoming payable by Client, and

(d)

the transfer to New Shares Owner of the shares in Borrower will not result in an increase in the amount of taxes, fees or other charges of any kind payable by Client.

2.10

No Liability. Client acknowledges and agrees that neither Security Trustee nor its designees shall have any liabilities or obligations under the Drilling Contract as a result of this Agreement, nor shall Security Trustee or its designees be obligated or required to:

(a)

perform any of Borrower’s obligations under the Drilling Contract, except during any period in which Security Trustee or its designee, respectively, is a Substitute Owner under the Drilling Contract pursuant to Article 2.4 or a Replacement Owner under the Drilling Contract pursuant to Article 2.8, in which case the obligations of the Substitute Owner or Replacement Owner shall be no more onerous than those of Borrower under the Drilling Contract for that period (unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Borrower and Security Trustee or Substitute Owner or Replacement Owner), or

(b)

take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned under the Finance Documents.

2.11

Delivery of Notices. Client shall deliver to Security Trustee and its designees, concurrently with the delivery to Borrower, a copy of any notice of default, suspension or termination given by Client to Borrower under the Drilling Contract. Client’s failure to give notice to Security Trustee shall not nullify the provisions of Article 2.1.

2.12

Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that Client (for itself and its respective successors and assigns) has now or acquires later any immunity (including sovereign immunity) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, Client hereby waives that immunity with respect to all its obligations under this Agreement or the Drilling Contract and the transactions contemplated by either such document.

2.13

Payments Under the Drilling Contract.

(a)

Borrower and Security Trustee authorise and instruct Client, and Client irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, to pay all amounts payable by it under the Drilling Contract without any offsets, recoupment, abatement, withholding

334

or defence (other than any required by applicable law), to the credit of the account specified in Schedule 3 or to such other account as may be specified by notice in writing from time to time by Security Trustee to Client (such notice, a “New Account Notice”). Client agrees that its payment obligations under the Drilling Contract shall not be discharged by payment in another form or to any other account or Person.

(b)

Security Trustee agrees with Borrower that it shall issue a New Account Notice to Client only if an event of default under the Project Facilities Agreement is continuing.

(c)

Notwithstanding Clause 2.13(B), the Parties agree that upon receipt by Client of a New Account Notice, Client shall not be put on enquiry as to whether an event of default under the Project Facilities Agreement is continuing and Client shall be entitled to treat the receipt of such New Account Notice as conclusive evidence of Security Trustee’s right to issue such notice.

2.14

Client security interests. Client acknowledges and agrees that the rights of Client under any lien or other security interest granted to Client, or any lien or security interest otherwise arising in favour of Client, pursuant to the terms of the Drilling Contract (any such security interest, whether in existence at the date of this Agreement or created after the date of this Agreement, a “Client Security Interest”) shall be subordinated to the rights of the security interests granted to Security Trustee pursuant to the Finance Documents. Client agrees not to exercise or enforce, or seek to exercise or enforce, any Client Security Interest without the consent of Security Trustee.

The Pledgor is (and at the time of any future delivery, pledge, assignment or transfer thereof will be) the sole legal and beneficial owner of each Pledged Account free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests and encumbrances of every description whatsoever (other than the Permitted Security). The Pledgor is the sole “customer” or “entitlement holder” within the meaning of the UCC of each Pledged Account that is a Deposit Account and all financial assets credited to any Pledged Account that is a Securities Account, respectively. The Pledgor has not consented to, and is not otherwise aware of, any Person (other than the Security Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement) having “control” (within the meanings of Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC) over, or any other interest in, any Securities Account or any Deposit Account or any property, including financial assets, money or cash, credited thereto.

(b)

Subject only to the applicable qualifications set out in the legal opinions delivered to the Intercreditor Agent in accordance with Clause 26.8(b) of the Project Facilities Agreement, the pledge of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid Security Interest in the Collateral in favor of the Security Trustee.

366

(c)

Subject only to the applicable qualifications set out in the legal opinions delivered to the Intercreditor Agent in accordance with Clause 26.8(b) of the Project Facilities Agreement, the execution and delivery of the Control Agreement will result in the Security Interests created by this Agreement being a perfected first-priority Security Interest in the Collateral.

(d)

Each of the Control Agreement and this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Pledgor and constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Pledgor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other Legal Requirements affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law.

(e)

Schedule 1 (as such Schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) indicates: (i) the type of organization of the Pledgor; (ii) the jurisdiction of organization of the Pledgor; (iii) the Pledgor’s organizational identification number, if any; and (iv) the jurisdiction where the chief executive office of the Pledgor or its sole place of business is, and for the one-year period preceding the date of this Agreement has been, located.

(f)

The full legal name of the Pledgor is as set forth on Schedule 1 and it has not done in the last five years, and does not do, business under any other name (including any trade-name or fictitious business name), except for those names set forth on Schedule 1 (as such Schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time);

(g)

Except as provided in Schedule 1, the Pledgor has not changed its name, jurisdiction of organization, chief executive office or sole place of business or its corporate structure in any way (including by merger, consolidation, change in corporate form or otherwise) within the past five years.

(h)

The Pledgor has not within the last five years become bound (whether as a result of merger or otherwise) as debtor under a security agreement entered into by another Person in respect of any Collateral, which, as at the date of this Agreement, has not been terminated other than those agreements identified in Schedule 1 (as such Schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time).

(i)

All information supplied by the Pledgor with respect to any of the Collateral (in each case taken as a whole with respect to any particular Collateral) is accurate and complete in all material respects.

(j)

Neither the execution and delivery by the Pledgor of this Agreement or the Control Agreement nor compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Control Agreement will, or at the relevant time did: (i) violate any Legal Requirement (including Regulations T, Regulation U or Regulation X) or award binding on the Pledgor or any of the Pledgor’s constitutional documents; (ii) violate the provisions of or require the approval or consent of

367

any party to any material indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Pledgor is a party or is subject, or by which it, or any of its property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in the creation or imposition of any Security Interest (other than Permitted Security) in, of or on any of the property of the Pledgor pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement; or (iii) require any consent of any governmental authority.

(g)

Hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, or any similar document in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Security Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine are necessary or advisable to perfect or otherwise protect the Security Interest granted to the Security Trustee under this Agreement. Such financing statements may describe the Pledged Account that is a Securities Account in the same manner as described in this Agreement or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Security Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the Security Interest in the Pledged Account that is a Securities Account granted to the Security Trustee under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. The Pledgor shall furnish to the Security Trustee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Pledged Account that is a Securities Account and such other reports in connection with the Pledged Account that is a Securities Account as the Security Trustee reasonably may request, all in reasonable detail.

The Company shall only be permitted to:
