facility in an aggregate amount equal to the Total Commitments.

The rights of each Finance Party include any debt owing to that Finance Party under the

Finance Documents and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Loan (or any relevant part of it) or

any other amount owed by an Obligor which relates to a Finance Party's participation in the

Facility or its role under a Finance Document (including any such amount payable to the

Agent on its behalf) is a debt owing to that Finance Party by that Obligor.

clause 42 (Finance Parties acting together)), separately enforce its rights under or in

connection with the Finance Documents.

pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) by its execution of this Agreement or an Accession

Deed irrevocably appoints Guarantor A (on and from the date of this Agreement until the

Share Exchange Completion) and UK ListCo (on and from the Share Exchange Completion

until the end of the Facility Period) (in each case) acting through one or more authorised

signatories to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Finance Documents and

irrevocably authorises:

(i)such Guarantor on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself

contemplated by this Agreement to the Finance Parties and to give all notices and

instructions (including, in the case of the Borrower, the Utilisation Request), to

make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and

variations capable of being given, made or effected by any Obligor notwithstanding

that they may affect the Obligor, without further reference to or the consent of that

Obligor; and

(ii)each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to that

Obligor pursuant to the Finance Documents to such Guarantor,

(iii)and in each case the Obligor shall be bound as though the Obligor itself had given the

notices and instructions (including, without limitation, the Utilisation Request) or executed

or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or

received the relevant notice, demand or other communication.

(b)Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement,

variation, notice or other communication given or made by the Obligors' Agent or given to

the Obligors' Agent under any Finance Document on behalf of another Obligor or in

connection with any Finance Document (whether or not known to any other Obligor and

whether occurring before or after such other Obligor became an Obligor under any Finance

Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Obligor as if that Obligor had expressly

made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other

communications of the Obligors' Agent and any other Obligor, those of the Obligors' Agent

shall prevail.

Loan Margin Adjustment):

(i)if pursuant to the Green Loan Compliance Certificate the Borrower is in compliance

(A)is compensated for by an increased payment under clause 14.2 (Tax gross-

up); or

14.5Indemnities on after Tax basis

(a)If an Event of Default is continuing or where the Agent and/or Security Agent have taken

any steps pursuant to clause 32.20 (Acceleration), to the extent that any sum payable to

any Protected Party by any Obligor under any Finance Document by way of indemnity or

reimbursement proves to be insufficient, by reason of any Tax suffered thereon, for that

Protected Party to discharge the corresponding liability to a third party, or to reimburse that

Protected Party for the cost incurred by it in discharging the corresponding liability to a third

party, the Borrower shall pay that Protected Party such additional sum as (after taking into

account any Tax suffered by that Protected Party on such additional sum) shall be required

to make up the relevant deficit.

(b)If and to the extent that any sum (the Indemnity Sum) constituting (directly or indirectly) an

indemnity to any Protected Party but paid by an Obligor to any person other than that

Protected Party, shall be treated as taxable in the hands of the Protected Party, the

Borrower shall pay to that Protected Party such sum (the Compensating Sum) as (after

taking into account any Tax suffered by that Protected Party on the Compensating Sum)

shall reimburse that Protected Party for any Tax suffered by it in respect of the Indemnity

Sum.

(c)For the purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, a sum shall be deemed to be taxable in

the hands of a Protected Party if it falls to be taken into account in computing the profits or

gains of that Protected Party for the purposes of Tax and, if so, that Protected Party shall

be deemed to have suffered Tax on the relevant sum at the rate of Tax applicable to that

Protected Party’s profits or gains for the period in which the payment of the relevant sum

(a)not a Qualifying Lender;

(b)a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or

(c)a Treaty Lender.

If such a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this clause 14.6 then that Lender

shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Obligor) as if it is not a

Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Agent which category applies (and the Agent,

upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, the

documentation which a Lender executes on becoming a Party as a Lender shall not be

14.8Value added tax

(a)All amounts expressed in a Finance Document to be payable by any party to a Finance

Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT

purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and

accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply

made by any Finance Party to any party under a Finance Document, and such Finance

Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to

such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration

for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must

promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party).

(b)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the Supplier)

to any other Finance Party (the Recipient) under a Finance Document, and any party to a

Finance Document other than the Recipient (the Subject Party) is required by the terms of

any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the

Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of

that consideration):

(i)(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority

for the VAT) the Subject Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as

paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The

Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Subject Party

an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the

relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT

chargeable on that supply; and

(ii)(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority

for the VAT) the Subject Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient,

pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only

to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit

or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(c)Where a Finance Document requires any party to it to reimburse or indemnify a Finance

Party for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be)

such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof

as represents VAT save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it

is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d)Any reference in this clause 14.8 to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated

as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the

context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at

such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value

Added Tax Act 1994).

(e)In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any party under a Finance Document,

if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that party must promptly provide such

Finance Party with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is

reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party’s VAT reporting requirements

in relation to such supply.

14.9FATCA information

(a)Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable

request by another Party:

(i)confirm to that other Party whether it is:

(A)a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(B)not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(ii)supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating

to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes

of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA; and

59

(iii)supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating

to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other

Party’s compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information

regime.

(b)If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA

Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a

FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

(c)Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph

(a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its

reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(i)any law or regulation;

(ii)any fiduciary duty; or

(iii)any duty of confidentiality

(d)If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms,

documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraphs (a)(i) or (a)(ii)

above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then

such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments

under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question

provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

14.10FATCA Deduction

(a)Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any

payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required

to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or

otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(b)Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or

that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party

to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Borrower and the Agent

and the Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

15Increased Costs

15.1Increased costs

(a)Subject to clause 15.3 (Exceptions), the Borrower shall, within three Business Days of a

demand by the Agent, pay for the account of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased

Cost incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates which:

(i)arises as a result of (A) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation,

administration or application of) any law or regulation or (B) compliance with any

law or regulation in either case made after the date of this Agreement; and/or

(ii)is a Basel III Increased Cost.

(b)In this Agreement Increased Costs means:

(i)a reduction in the rate of return from the Facility or on a Finance Party’s (or its

Affiliate’s) overall capital;

(ii)an additional or increased cost; or

(iii)a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Finance Document,

which is incurred or suffered by a Finance Party or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it

is attributable to that Finance Party having entered into its Commitment or an Ancillary

Commitment or funding or performing its obligations under any Finance Document.

60

15.2Increased cost claims

(a)A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to clause 15.1 (Increased costs) shall

notify the Agent of the event giving rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall

promptly notify the Borrower (or the Obligors’ Agent on its behalf).

(b)Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a

certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Costs.

15.3Exceptions

(a)Clause 15.1 (Increased costs) does not apply to any Increased Cost which is:

(i)attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by an Obligor;

(ii)attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; or

(iii)compensated for by clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been

compensated for under clause 14.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated

solely because any of the exclusions in paragraph (b) of clause 14.3 (Tax

indemnity) applied); or

Second Currency) for the purpose of:

arbitration proceedings,

that Obligor shall, as an independent obligation, within three Business Days of demand by

a Finance Party, indemnify each Finance Party to whom that Sum is due against any

the Finance Documents;

(b)undertakes with the Security Agent (as trustee for the Finance Parties) and the other

Parties that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or

illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation indemnify each Finance Party

immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of another

Obligor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or

illegality, have been payable by such Obligor under any Finance Document on the date

when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity

will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this clause 19.1 if the amount

claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

19.2Continuing guarantee

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums

payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment

or discharge in whole or in part.

19.3Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or

any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on

the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in

insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each

Guarantor under this clause 19 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or

arrangement had not occurred.

19.4Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this clause 19 will not be affected by an act, omission,

matter or thing (whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) which, but for this clause 19,

limitation):

(a)any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

(b)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;

expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any

(however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance

Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents.

19.6Immediate recourse

Each Guarantor 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 Guarantor under this clause 19. This waiver

applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

19.7Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with

the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or

agent on its behalf) may:

(a)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 Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b)hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or

on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this clause 19.

19.8Deferral of Guarantors’ rights

(a)Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection

with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Agent

amount being payable, or liability arising, under this clause 19:

(i)to be indemnified by another Obligor;

(ii)to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Obligor’s obligations

under the Finance Documents;

any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the

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

Party.

(b)If a Guarantor 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 44

(Payment mechanics). This only applies until all amounts which may be or become payable

by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably

paid in full.

19.9Additional security

This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or

security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.

Guarantor:

result of that Guarantor not paying any amount which would, but for such

unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by such Guarantor under

the Guarantee and/or this Agreement. The amount payable under this indemnity

shall be equal to the amount which that Finance Party would otherwise have been

entitled to recover.

amounts which may be or become payable by the Guarantors under or in connection with

the Finance Documents have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged in

full, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

Agent (and any other Finance Party required by the Agent) in an approved form and

provided such supporting documents and opinions in relation to that assignment as the

Agent requires) provided, however, that where a Charterer (or any other charterer of the

Ship that is not a Group Member) is co-assured under any such insurance coverage, they

as may be approved by the Majority Lenders or as may be agreed in writing by the Borrower

and the Agent (on the instructions of the Majority Lenders).

27.6Currency of valuation

Valuations shall be provided by valuers in euro or, if a 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

Obligors’ Agent provided that such valuation is accompanied by full reliance and disclosure

language in favour of the Finance Parties), will not be more than 30 days old (or 60 days old in

relation to the valuations provided pursuant to paragraph 10 of Part 2 (Conditions precedent

105

(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

The Agent shall respond promptly to any request by the Borrower for approval of a broker

nominated by the Borrower. The Agent may at any time by notice to the Borrower withdraw any

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. If the Agent has not approved

at least three brokers as valuers at a time when a valuation is required under this clause 27, the

Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the names of at least three valuers which are

approved. On the date of this Agreement the approved valuers are Clarksons, Fearnleys,

Braemar and Pareto.

27.10Appointment of valuers

may appoint approved valuers to provide that valuation.

27.11Number of valuers

(a)Each valuation must be carried out by two approved valuers of whom one shall be

nominated by the Agent and the other by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails promptly to

nominate a second valuer then the Agent may nominate the second valuer. Clause 27.12

(Differences in valuations) shall apply.

(b)If two valuers provide valuations and their valuations of the Ship vary by more than 10%

(by reference to the lower of the two valuations), then the value of the Ship shall be

determined by reference to those two valuations and a third valuation provided by a third

approved valuer nominated by the Agent. Clause 27.12 (Differences in valuations) shall

apply.

27.12Differences in valuations

(a)If valuations of the Ship provided by individual valuers differ, the value of the Ship for the

purposes of the Finance Documents will be the mean average of those valuations.

(b)If any approved valuer provides a range of values for the Ship, the value of the Ship for the

purposes of the Finance Documents will be the mean average of the values comprising

such range.

27.13Security shortfall

(a)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 Borrower require that such

deficiency be remedied. The Borrower shall then within 30 Business Days of receipt of

such notice ensure that the Security Value equals or exceeds the Minimum Value. For this

purpose, the Borrower may:

106

(i)provide additional security over assets reasonably approved by all the Lenders and

in accordance with this clause 27 (including in the form of charged and/or pledged

euro cash deposits which are hereby approved by all the Lenders); and/or

(ii)prepay a part of the Loan under clause 8.4 (Voluntary prepayment).

(b)Any prepayment made under paragraph (a) above shall be applied in reduction of each

Lender’s Commitment pro rata and any corresponding cancellation of the Commitments

shall be applied against the Commitments relating to the Loan pro rata.

27.14Creation of additional security

The value of any additional security which the Borrower offers 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;

(b)a Security Interest over that security has been constituted in favour of the Security Agent or

(if appropriate) the Finance Parties in a form and manner approved by all the Lenders;

(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 (Conditions precedent) in

relation to that amendment and additional security and its execution and (if applicable)

registration.

27.15Release of additional security

If at any time the Security Agent or any other Finance Parties hold additional security provided

under this clause 27 and the Security Value, disregarding the value of that additional security,

exceeds the Minimum Value and the Security Value has been determined by reference to

valuations provided no more than 60 days previously, the Borrower may, by notice to the Agent,

require the release and discharge of that additional security. The Agent shall then direct the

Security Agent to promptly release and discharge that additional security if no Default is then

continuing or will result from such release and discharge and, upon such release and discharge

and, if so required by the Agent, the Borrower shall reimburse to the Agent any costs and

expenses payable under clause 18 (Transaction expenses) in relation to that release and

discharge.

28Chartering undertakings

28.1Undertaking to comply

Each Obligor who is a Party undertakes that this clause 28 will be complied with in relation to

the Ship which is subject to a Bareboat Charter and/or a Charter throughout the Ship’s Mortgage

by the Borrower will be deemed to also be given by the relevant Bareboat Charterer under such

Bareboat Charter.

Charter with another Bareboat Charter entered into in accordance with the terms of clause 24.8

of any other person under a Bareboat Charter (including by way of novation, assignment or

transfer), no waiver of any breach of any such obligation and no consent to anything which

would otherwise be such a breach, which would result in a breach of clause 24.8 (Chartering).

28.4Charter performance

Each relevant Bareboat Charterer and the Borrower shall perform its obligations under each

Bareboat Charter for the Ship to which it is a party and use its best endeavours to ensure that

each other party to them performs their obligations under such documents.

All Earnings which the Borrower is entitled to receive under any Charter Documents or Bareboat

Charter for the Ship shall be paid into the Earnings Account of the Borrower of the Ship or,

following an Event of Default, in the manner required by the Security Documents.

28.6Minimum Bareboat Charter Hire

(iii)the New Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and will be bound by

obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

(e)Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this clause 34.8 to assign their

rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or

unless in accordance with this clause 34.8 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 34.2 (Borrower Consultation; Hedging Providers) and clause 34.3 (Other conditions

of assignment).

34.9Copy of Transfer Certificate to Borrower

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate

or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender

including, without limitation:

(i)any charge, assignment or other Security Interest to secure obligations to a federal

reserve or central bank (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the European

Central Bank);

(ii)any assignment to a special purpose vehicle set up by a Lender or Affiliate of any

Lender where a charge, assignment or other Security Interest is to be created over

securities issued by such special purpose vehicle in favour of a federal reserve or

central bank (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the European Central Bank);

and

(iii)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 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 the 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.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, upon the enforcement of any charge,

assignment or other Security Interest referenced under paragraph (a) above, the

beneficiary thereof (the Beneficiary) shall deliver notice of that enforcement to the Agent,

completion of the conditions referenced in paragraph (a)(iii) of Clause 34.3 (Other

conditions of assignment) become a party as a New Lender in respect of the rights which

are subject to that charge, assignment or Security Interest.

(c)The Borrower undertakes to comply with all necessary formalities, if any, and take all steps

necessary in order to ensure the enforceability, recognition or priority of the assignment,

(i)any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are

expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in

favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (Accrued

Amounts) and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without

further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or,

if the Interest Period is longer than six months, on the next of the dates which falls

at six monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and

(ii)the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the

right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

(A)when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be

payable for the account of the Existing Lender; and

(B)the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which

would, but for the application of this clause 34.11, have been payable to it on

that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

(b)In this clause references to Interest Period shall be construed to include a reference to any

other period for accrual of fees.

all or any part of the share capital of a company that is or is to be a Lender or a party to a Debt

Purchase Transaction of the type referred to in the definition of Debt Purchase Transaction.

35.3Disenfranchisement of Debt Purchase Transactions entered into by Guarantor Affiliates

the avoidance of doubt, unanimity) of the Total Commitments or any agreement of

any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a

consent, waiver, amendment or other vote under the Finance Documents, such

Commitment shall be deemed to be zero; and

125

(ii)for the purposes of clause 50.2 (All Lender matters), such Guarantor 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 for the purpose of paragraph (i)

above (unless, in the case of a person not being a Guarantor Affiliate, it is a Lender

by virtue otherwise than by beneficially owning the relevant Commitment).

(ii)in its capacity as Lender, unless the 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 or addressed to, the Agent or one or more of the Lenders. For the

avoidance of doubt the only information the Lender is entitled to receive are

operational notices for that Lender in connection with their Commitment.

Any Guarantor Affiliate which is or becomes a Lender and which enters into a Debt Purchase

Transaction as a purchaser or a participant shall, by 5.00 pm on the Business Day following the

UK ListCo, any EEA Member Country, the United States of America or such other

jurisdiction as approved by the Lenders;

to the Agent a duly completed and executed Accession Deed (at the cost and

expense of the Borrower);

constitute a Default nor would otherwise cause or result in a Default (and

Guarantor A confirms the same in writing to the Agent).

(b)The Agent shall notify Guarantor A (up to the Share Exchange Completion) or UK ListCo

(on and from the Share Exchange Completion), the Lenders promptly upon being satisfied

that it has received (in form and substance satisfactory to it) all the documents and other

before the Agent gives the notification described in paragraph (b) above, the Lenders

authorise (but do not require) the Agent to give that notification. The Agent shall not be

liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever as a result of giving any such

notification.

described in paragraph (b) above in respect of the Relevant Additional Guarantor:

(i)the Parties hereby agree and confirm that the Relevant Additional Guarantor will be

made an additional party to this Agreement, as joint and several guarantor with the

Guarantors as at the date of this Agreement (the Original Guarantors) and any

pursuant to this clause 35.5 (a Previously Acceded Additional Guarantor), and

this Agreement shall henceforth be construed and treated in all respects as if

references therein to “Guarantors” included references to the Relevant Additional

Guarantor in addition to the Original Guarantors and any Previously Acceded

Additional Guarantor.

(ii)the Parties hereby agree and confirm that the Relevant Additional Guarantor will be

bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it had all times been named therein as

Guarantor;

(iii)the Relevant Additional Guarantor agrees that it will duly and punctually perform all

the liabilities and obligations whatsoever from time to time to be performed or

discharged by the Original Guarantors and any Previously Acceded Additional

Guarantor under this Agreement (and for which the Original Guarantors, any

Previously Acceded Additional Guarantor and the Relevant Additional Guarantor

hereby agree to be jointly and severally liable); and

(iv)without prejudice to the generality of paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above, the Relevant

Additional Guarantor agrees that it will be a guarantor under the Guarantee in

respect of the full amount of the Loan, interest thereon and all other sums which

may be or become due to the Finance Parties pursuant to any of the Finance

Documents.

127

equivalent to an amendment or waiver which is subject to clause 50 (Amendments and

waivers), the Agent or (as the case may be) the Security Agent shall not act in accordance

with those instructions unless consent to it so acting is obtained from each Party (other

addition to paying any money owing under the Finance Documents to the Security Agent

for its own account), and discharge all other obligations from time to time incurred, by it

under or in connection with the Finance Documents.

(b)Each payment which such an Obligor makes to another Finance Party in accordance with

any Finance Document shall, to the extent of the amount of that payment, satisfy that

Obligor’s corresponding obligation under paragraph (a) above to make that payment to the

Security Agent.

clause 37.2(b) below or under that clause as incorporated by reference or in full in any

other Finance Document.

any kind of insolvency proceeding).

140

(e)Other than as set out in clause 37.2(f) below, the undertaking to pay Parallel Debt shall not

limit or affect the existence of the Corresponding Debt, for which the Finance Parties shall

have an independent right to demand performance.

from the rights of the Security Agent to receive payment of the Parallel Debt, provided that

the Parallel Debt of an Obligor shall be:

(i)decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably and

unconditionally paid or discharged; and

(ii)increased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has increased,

(iii)and the Corresponding Debt of an Obligor shall be:

(b)Where the Security Agent is named on any insurance policy as an insured party, it shall not

be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person as a result of its failure to notify

the insurers of any material fact relating to the risk assumed by such insurers or any other

information of any kind, unless the Agent requests it to do so in writing and the Security

Agent fails to do so within fourteen days after receipt of that request.

37.5Common parties

Although the Agent and the Security Agent may from time to time be the same entity, that entity

will have entered into the Finance Documents (to which it is party) in its separate capacities as

agent for the other Finance Parties and (as appropriate) security agent and trustee for all of the

other Finance Parties. Where any Finance Document provides for an Agent or Security Agent to

communicate with or provide instructions to the other, while they are the same entity, such

as a separate trustee or as a co-trustee jointly with it:

(i)if it considers that appointment to be in the interests of the Finance Parties;

(ii)for the purposes of conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition

which the Security Agent deems to be relevant; or

(iii)for obtaining or enforcing any judgment in any jurisdiction,

and the Security Agent shall give prior notice to the Borrower and the Finance Parties of

that appointment.

(b)Any person so appointed shall have the rights, powers, authorities and discretions (not

exceeding those given to the Security Agent under or in connection with the Finance

Documents) and the duties, obligations and responsibilities that are given or imposed by

(c)The remuneration that the Security Agent may pay to that person, and any costs and

to carry out their role on terms satisfactory to the Security Agent.

investigate, any right and title that any Obligor may have to any of the Charged Property and

shall not be liable for, or bound to require any Obligor to remedy, any defect in its right or title.

37.10Winding up of trust

If the Security Agent, with the approval of the Agent, determines that:

(a)all of the Secured Obligations and all other obligations secured by the Security Documents

have been fully and finally discharged; and

(b)no Finance Party is under any commitment, obligation or liability (actual or contingent) to

make advances or provide other financial accommodation to any Obligor pursuant to the

Finance Documents,

then:

(i)the trusts set out in this Agreement shall be wound up and the Security Agent shall

release, without recourse or warranty, all of the Transaction Security and the rights

of the Security Agent under each of the Security Documents; and

(ii)any Security Agent which has resigned pursuant to clause 36.16 (Resignation of

the Agent or the Security Agent) shall release, without recourse or warranty, all of

its rights under each Security Document.

37.11Powers supplemental to Trustee Acts

Trustee Act 2000 and in addition to any which may be vested in the Security Agent by law or

regulation or otherwise.

37.12Disapplication of Trustee Acts

the trusts constituted by this Agreement. Where there are any inconsistencies between the

Trustee Act 1925 or the Trustee Act 2000 and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of

this Agreement shall, to the extent permitted by law and regulation, prevail and, in the case of

any inconsistency with the Trustee Act 2000, the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a

restriction or exclusion for the purposes of that Act.

143

37.13Examination of documents by the Agent

The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that the Agent’s responsibility for

is not only in English, the English translation or version of which appears on its face) to be in

accordance with its description.

For the purposes of this clause 37.13, appearing on its face has the meaning given to that

term in the latest version of the Uniform Customs Practice for Documentary Credits of the

of any of the Transaction Security or of any other security interest, which is capable of being

applied in or towards discharge of any of the Secured Obligations is so applied.

38.4Enforcement through Security Agent only

(a)The other Finance Parties shall not have any independent power to enforce, or have

recourse to, any of the Transaction Security or to exercise any right, power, authority or

discretion arising or to grant any consents or releases under the Security Documents

except through the Security Agent or as required and permitted by this clause 38.4.

(b)Where a Finance Party (other than the Security Agent) is a party to a Security Document

that Finance Party shall:

(i)promptly take such action as the Security Agent may reasonably require (acting on

the instructions of the Agent) to enforce, or have recourse to, any of the

Transaction Security constituted by such Security Document or, for such purposes,

to exercise any right, power, authority or discretion arising or to grant any consents

amount in such other currency on the date on which it was incurred.

(d)All moneys received or held by the Security Agent or by a Receiver under a Security

Document in a currency other than euro may be sold for euro and the Obligor which
