Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Lenders severally agree to provide to the Borrower a term loan facility in an amount equal to the Total Commitments.

2.2

Increase

The Borrower may, by giving prior notice to the Agent by no later than the date falling fifteen (15) Business Days after the effective date of a cancellation of:

the Available Commitments of a Defaulting Lender in accordance with Clause 7.7 f) (Right of Replacement or Cancellation and Prepayment in Relation to a Single Lender); or

ii)

the Commitments of a Lender in accordance with Clause 7.1 (Illegality),

request that the Commitments be increased (and the Commitments shall be so increased) in an aggregate amount of up to the amount of the Available Commitment or Commitments so cancelled as follows:

the increased Commitments will be assumed by one or more Lenders or other banks, financial institutions, trusts, funds or other entities (each an "Increase Lender") selected by the Borrower (each of which shall not be a Group Member and which is further acceptable to the Agent (acting reasonably)) and each of which confirms in writing its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that part of the increased Commitments which it is to assume, as if it had been an Original Lender;

each of the Obligors and any Increase Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another as the Obligors and the Increase Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender;

each Increase Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender" and any Increase Lender and each of the other Finance Parties shall assume obligations towards one

another and acquire rights against one another as that Increase Lender and those Finance Parties would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender;

the Commitments of the other Lenders shall continue in full force and effect; and

any increase in the Commitments shall take effect on the date specified by the Borrower in the notice referred to above or any later date on which the conditions set out in Clause 2.2b) below are satisfied.

An increase in the Commitments will only be effective on:

the execution by the Agent of an Increase Confirmation from the relevant Increase Lender;

ii)

Each Increase Lender, by executing the Increase Confirmation, confirms (for the avoidance of doubt) that the 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 increase becomes effective.

Unless the Agent otherwise agrees or the increased Commitments are assumed by an existing Lender, the Borrower shall, not later than on the date upon which the increase takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of three thousand five hundred Dollars (US$3,500) and the Borrower shall promptly on demand pay the Agent and the Security Agent the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by either of them, and, in the case of the Security Agent, by any Receiver or Delegate, in connection with any increase in Commitments under this Clause 2.2.

2.3	Finance Parties' Rights and Obligations

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

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

A Finance Party may separately enforce its rights under the Finance Documents, provided that no Finance Party shall have any independent power to enforce, or have recourse to, any of the Security under the Security Documents or to exercise any right, power, authority or discretion arising under the Security Documents except through the Agent or Security Agent.

2.4	Obligors' Agent

Each Obligor (other than the Borrower) by its execution of this Agreement or an Accession Deed irrevocably appoints the Borrower (acting through one or more authorised signatories) to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Finance Documents and irrevocably authorises:

the Borrower on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to the Finance Parties and to give all notices and instructions, to execute on its behalf any Accession Deed, 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 the Borrower,

and in each case the Obligor shall be bound as though the Obligor itself had given the notices and instructions (including, without limitation, any Utilisation Requests) or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication.

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.

Schedule 10 (Scheduled Amortisation Payments) shall be updated by the Agent in connection with each Utilisation on the basis of the following parameters:

the first Repayment Date shall be 31 March 2017 and if there has been no Utilisation by that date, the Total Commitments shall be reduced by the amount of the Scheduled Amortisation Payment that would otherwise have fallen due on 31 March 2017;

ii)

if the amount of the Facility that is utilised is reduced as a result of compliance with the Initial Security Value requirements, such reduction shall be applied to reduce the Scheduled Amortisation Payments pro-rata; and

iii)

Scheduled Amortisation Payments shall be determined by the Agent on the basis that the portion of the Loan attributed to each Mortgaged Vessel is repaid in full by the time that that Mortgaged Vessel is 16 years of age.

The latest updated version of Schedule 10 prepared by the Agent shall be the applicable version for purposes of this Agreement.

If any Commitments have been partially reduced under this Agreement and/or any part of the Loan is prepaid (other than under Clause 6.1a) above) before any Repayment Date, the amount of the instalments by which the Loan shall be repaid under Clause 6.1 above on any such Repayment Date (as reduced by any earlier operation of this Clause 6.1c)) shall be reduced pro rata to such reduction in the Total Commitments and the Scheduled Amortisation Payments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis.

that Lender shall promptly notify the Agent upon becoming aware of that event;

upon the Agent notifying the Borrower, each Available Commitment of that Lender will be immediately cancelled and the undrawn Total Commitments shall each be reduced rateably; and

to the extent that the Lender's participation has not been transferred pursuant to Clause 31.1 (Assignments or Transfers by the Lenders), the Borrower shall repay that Lender's participation in the Loan on the last day of the Interest Period for such period occurring after the Agent has notified the Borrower or, if earlier, the date specified by the Lender in the notice delivered to the Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law) and that Lender's corresponding Commitment(s) shall be cancelled in the amount of the participations repaid.

7.3	Mandatory Prepayment – Security Value

In the event that, following the receipt of the notice from the Agent under Clause 25.12 (Security Shortfall), the Borrower does not comply with the provisions of Clause 25.12 (Security Shortfall), the Borrower shall be immediately obliged to prepay such amount of the Loan as shall be required in order to ensure that the Security Value equals or exceeds the Minimum Value.

7.4	Mandatory prepayment - Sale or Total Loss of a Mortgaged Vessel

If a Default has occurred and is continuing and without prejudice to the requirement set out in Clause 25.12 (Security Shortfall) that the Security Value shall at all times be equal to the Minimum Value, in connection with any sale or Total Loss of a Mortgaged Vessel, on the applicable Disposal Repayment Date relating to such Mortgaged Vessel, the Borrower shall apply all of the Disposal Proceeds or all of the insurance proceeds in respect of such Total Loss, as the case may, to the prepayment of the Loan.

On receipt of a notice referred to in Clause 7.7a) above in relation to a Lender, the Commitment of that Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero and (unless the Commitment of the relevant Lender is replaced in accordance with Clause 7.7d) below), the Commitments shall be reduced rateably.

On the last day of each Interest Period which ends after the Borrower has given notice under Clause 7.7a) above in relation to a Lender (or, if earlier, the date specified by the Borrower in that notice), the Borrower shall repay that Lender's participation in the Loan together with all interest and other amounts due to that Lender under the Finance Documents.

The Borrower may, in the circumstances set out in Clause 7.7a) above and if an Obligor becomes obliged to repay any amount in accordance with Clause 7.1 (Illegality), on ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent and the relevant Lender, replace that Lender by requiring that Lender to transfer (and, to the extent permitted by law, that Lender shall transfer) pursuant to Clause 31 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Lender or other bank or financial institution selected by the Borrower which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of the transferring Lender in accordance with Clause 31 (Changes to the Lenders) for a purchase price in cash or other cash payment payable at the time of the transfer equal to the aggregate of:

the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's participation in the Loan;

ii)

all accrued interest owing to such Lender;

iii)

the Break Costs which would have been payable to such Lender pursuant to Clause 10.6 (Break Costs) had the Borrower prepaid in full that Lender's participation in the Loan on the date of the transfer; and

iv)

all other amounts payable to that Lender under the Finance Documents on the date of the transfer.

The replacement of a Lender pursuant to Clause 7.7d) above shall be subject to the following conditions:

the Borrower shall have no right to replace the Agent;

ii)

neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to find a replacement Lender; and

If the Agent receives a notice under this Clause 7 it shall promptly forward a copy of that notice to either the Borrower or the affected Lender, as appropriate.

If any Commitments are partially reduced under this Agreement (other than under Clause 7.1 (Illegality) and Clause 7.7 (Right of Cancellation and Prepayment in Relation to a Single Lender)), the Commitments of the Lenders shall be reduced rateably.

Any prepayment of the Loan pursuant to Clause 7.3 (Mandatory Prepayment – Security Value) to Clause 7.4 (Mandatory prepayment - Sale or Total Loss of Collateral Vessels) and Clause 7.6 (Voluntary Prepayment) shall be applied against the Loan pro rata to each Lender's participation in the Loan and pro rata against each Scheduled Amortisation Payment.

INTEREST

Margin; and

LIBOR.

8.2	Payment of Interest

The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the Loan on the last day of each Interest Period or, if an Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, every three (3) months during such Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period. All interest is due and payable in cash.

8.3	Default Interest

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 which, subject to Clause 8.3 b) below, is two per cent. (2%) higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted the Loan for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing in accordance with this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.

If any overdue amount consists of all or part of the Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period:

the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period; and

ii)

the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be two per cent. (2%) higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

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

8.4	Notification of Rates of Interest

The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of each Funding Rate relating to the Loan.

9.	INTEREST PERIODS

9.1	Selection of Interest Periods

The Borrower may select an Interest Period for the first Utilisation in the Utilisation Request for that Utilisation. The first Interest Period for each Subsequent Utilisation shall commence on the Utilisation Date for that Utilisation and end on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to the Loan.

The Borrower may select an Interest Period for the Loan in a Selection Notice.

Each Selection Notice is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Agent by the Borrower not later than 10:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the first day of the relevant Interest Period.

If the Borrower fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Agent in accordance with paragraph c) above, the relevant Interest Period will be three (3) months.

Subject to this Clause 9, the Borrower may select an Interest Period of one (1), three (3), or (6) six month(s) or any other period agreed between the Borrower and the Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders), provided that the Borrower may not select an Interest Period of one (1) month more than three (3) times in a calendar year.

No Interest Period shall extend beyond the Final Repayment Date.

9.2	Non Business Days

If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

9.3	Commencement of Interest Periods

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

10.	CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

10.1	Unavailability of Screen Rate

Interpolated Screen Rate: If no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR for an Interest Period, the applicable LIBOR shall be the Interpolated Screen Rate for a period equal in length to that Interest Period.

Shortened Interest Period: If no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR for an Interest Period and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Screen Rate, that Interest Period shall (if it is longer than the applicable Fallback Interest Period) be shortened to the applicable Fallback Interest Period and the applicable LIBOR for that shortened Interest Period shall be determined pursuant to the definition of "LIBOR".

Shortened Interest Period and Historic Screen Rate: If an Interest Period is, after giving effect to paragraph b) above, either the applicable Fallback Interest Period or shorter than the applicable Fallback Interest Period and, in either case, no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR for that Interest Period and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Screen Rate, the applicable LIBOR shall be the Historic Screen Rate for that Loan.

Shortened Interest Period and Interpolated Historic Screen Rate: If paragraph c) above applies but no Historic Screen Rate is available for an Interest Period, the applicable LIBOR shall be the Interpolated Historic Screen Rate for a period equal in length to that Interest Period.

Base Reference Bank Rate: If paragraph d) above applies but it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Historic Screen Rate, the Interest Period shall, if it has been shortened pursuant to paragraph b) above, revert to its previous length and the applicable LIBOR shall be the Base Reference Bank Rate as of 11:00 a.m. on the Quotation Day for the currency of the Loan and for a period equal in length to that Interest Period.

Cost of funds: If paragraph e) above applies but no Base Reference Bank Rate is available for the relevant currency or Interest Period there shall be no LIBOR for the Loan and Clause 10.4 (Cost of funds) shall apply to the Loan for that Interest Period.

10.2	Calculation of Base Reference Bank Rate

Subject to paragraph b) below, if LIBOR is to be determined on the basis of a Base Reference Bank Rate but a Base Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11:00 a.m. on the Quotation Day, the Base Reference Bank Rate shall be calculated on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Base Reference Banks.

If at or about noon on the Quotation Day none or only one of the Base Reference Banks supplies a quotation, there shall be no Base Reference Bank Rate for the relevant Interest Period.

10.3	Market disruption

If before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders (whose participations in the Loan exceed twenty per cent. (20%) of the Loan) that the cost to it of funding its participation in that Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of LIBOR then Clause 10.4 (Cost of funds) shall apply to that Loan for the relevant Interest Period.

10.4	Cost of funds

If this Clause 10.4 applies, the rate of interest on the Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

the Margin; and

ii)

the weighted average of the rates notified to the Agent by each Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before the date on which 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 the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.

If this Clause 10.4 applies and the Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph b) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

If this Clause 10.4 applies pursuant to Clause 10.3 (Market disruption) and:

a Lender's Funding Rate is less than LIBOR; or

ii)

a Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in paragraph a)ii) above,

the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Loan for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph a) above, to be LIBOR.

If this Clause 10.4 applies pursuant to Clause 10.1 (Unavailability of Screen Rate) but any Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in paragraph a)ii) above the rate of interest shall be calculated on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Lenders.

10.5	Notification to Borrower

If Clause 10.4 (Cost of funds) applies the Agent shall, as soon as is practicable, notify the Borrower.

10.6	Break Costs

The Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of the Loan or any Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for the Loan or that Unpaid Sum.

Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

11.

12.3	Tax indemnity

The Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.

Paragraph a) above shall not apply:

with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:

(A)

under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party's Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

(A)

is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up); or

would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in paragraph d) of Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) applied; or

(C)

A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from the Borrower under this Clause 12.3, notify the Agent.

that Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.

12.5	Lender Status Confirmation

Each Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the documentation which it executes on becoming a Party, and for the benefit of the Agent and without liability to any Obligor, which of the following categories it falls in:

not a Qualifying Lender;

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

a Treaty Lender.

If that Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Clause 12.5 then such 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 Company).

12.6	Stamp Taxes

The Borrower shall pay and, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

All amounts set out, or 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 a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to Clause 12.7b) 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 shall pay to the 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 such VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).

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 such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(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.

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 of in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

Any reference in this Clause 12.7d) 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 person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant Member State of the European Union) so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or representative or head) of that group or unity at the relevant time (as the case may be)).

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.

12.8	FATCA Information

Subject to Clause 12.8c) below, each Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

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;

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.

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.

Clause 12.8a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and Clause 12.8a)iii) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

any law or regulation;

ii)

any fiduciary duty; or

iii)

any duty of confidentiality.

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 Clause 12.8a)i) or a)ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where Clause 12.8c) 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.

If the Borrower is a US Tax Obligor or the Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA or any other applicable law or regulation require it, each Lender shall, within ten (10) Business Days of:

where the Borrower is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Lender is an Original Lender, the date of this Agreement;

ii)

where the Borrower is a US Tax Obligor on a date on which any other lender becomes a Party as a Lender, that date; or

iii)

where the Borrower is not a US Tax Obligor, the date of a request from the Agent,

supply to the Agent:

a withholding certificate on Form W-8, Form W-9 or any other relevant form; or

any withholding statement or other document, authorisation or waiver as the Agent may require to certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA or that other law or regulation.

The Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to Clause 12.8e) above to the relevant Borrower.

If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the Agent by a Lender pursuant to Clause 12.8e) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Lender shall promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Agent unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Agent). The Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the relevant Borrower.

The Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to Clauses 12.8e) or g) above without further verification. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with Clauses 12.8e), f) or g) above.

12.9	FATCA Deduction

Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction from a payment under this Agreement that 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.

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.

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

the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any other Group Member;

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

17.7	Appropriations

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:

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 none of the Guarantors shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

hold in an interest bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Clause 17.

17.8	Deferral of Guarantors' Rights

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 otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 17:

to be indemnified by another Obligor;

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

22.	DEALINGS WITH MORTGAGED VESSELS

Each Obligor undertakes that this Clause 22 will be complied with in relation to each Mortgaged Vessel throughout the relevant Mortgaged Vessel's Mortgage Period.

22.1	Vessel's Name and Registration

A Mortgaged Vessel's name shall not be changed without the prior written consent of the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders).

The Mortgaged Vessel shall be registered with the relevant Registry under the laws of its Flag State in the name of the Owner. Subject to Clause 22.1d) below, the Mortgaged Vessel shall not be registered under any other flag or at any other port or fly any other flag (other than that of its Flag State), except with approval of the Agent (acting on the instructions of all of the Lenders). If that registration is for a limited period, it shall be renewed at least forty five (45) days before the date it is due to expire and the Agent shall be notified of that renewal at least thirty (30) days before that date.

Nothing will be done and no action will be omitted if that might result in such registration being forfeited or imperilled or the Mortgaged Vessel being required to be registered under the laws of another state of registry.

An Owner may change the Flag State of any Mortgaged Vessel owned by it to any other Flag State without the consent of the Lenders subject to:

the Owner providing the Finance Parties with a replacement Mortgage at the time of such transfer and any other replacement Security Documents and other documentation as the Agent or the Security Agent may reasonably request (including, without limitation, legal opinions, certificates of ownership and encumbrance (or the equivalent evidence of registration in the name of the Owner), in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent), so that the Finance Parties have the equivalent Security Interest over such Mortgaged Vessel as they had prior to such change of Flag State;

ii)

any amendments to the Finance Documents which may be required in the reasonable opinion of the Agent as a result of such change of Flag State; and

iii)

no Default having occurred and being continuing.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 22.1a), b), c) and d) above, no bareboat registrations may be effected in respect of any of the Mortgaged Vessels without the prior written consent of the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders); provided that bareboat registrations may be effected in Denmark subject to the receipt by the Security Agent of such undertakings and powers of attorney relating to the deletion of such bareboat registrations in form and substance satisfactory to the Security Agent as the Security Agent may require.

22.2	Sale or Other Disposal of Mortgaged Vessel

The Owner may sell any Mortgaged Vessel or any share or interest in it to any person, provided that:

no Default is continuing or has occurred; and

ii)

the Borrower has made or will make no later than at the Disposal Repayment Date, a prepayment in accordance with Clause 7.4 (Mandatory prepayment – Sale or Total Loss of a Mortgaged Vessel).

There are no restrictions on the purchase or disposal of any Fleet Vessel (other than a Mortgaged Vessel, as set out in 22.2a) above), including with respect to new-build programs.

22.3

Manager

Subject to paragraph b) below, each Mortgaged Vessel shall be managed commercially and technically by TORM A/S.

Any Mortgaged Vessel may be managed by another Approved Technical Manager or by another commercial manager that has been consented to by the Majority Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) subject to such Approved Technical Manager and/or approved commercial manager, as the case may be, having delivered a duly executed manager's undertaking in a form consistent with market practice in ship finance transactions in favour of the Security Agent in a form and substance acceptable to the Majority Lenders and including in any event a subordination of the manager's claims against the Obligors and the Mortgaged Vessels to the claims of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents; provided that in the case of a third party manager, the Obligors shall only use their reasonable commercial efforts to obtain such subordination).

22.4	Copy of Mortgage on Board; Notice of Mortgage

To the extent required by the applicable law of the Flag State, the Owner agrees to:

keep on board the relevant Mortgaged Vessel with its papers a properly certified copy of the relevant Mortgage shown to anyone having business with the Mortgaged Vessel which business might create or imply any commitment or Security Interest over or in respect of the Mortgaged Vessel (other than a lien for crew's wages and salvage) and to any representative of the Agent or the Security Agent; and

prominently display a framed printed notice of the Mortgaged Vessel's Mortgage in the navigation room and in the master's cabin of the Mortgaged Vessel. The notice must be satisfactory to the Security Agent.

22.5	Chartering

None of the Obligors shall enter into any Charter for a Mortgaged Vessel (except for the Bareboat Charters copies of which have been provided to the Agent as a condition precedent to the first Utilisation under this Agreement and, if the Obligors expect to change the bareboat charter structure of any Mortgaged Vessel, such other Bareboat Charters as may be approved by the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) and a copy of which has been provided to the Agent) which is a bareboat or demise charter or passes possession and operational control of such Mortgaged Vessel to another person.

All Charters of the Mortgaged Vessels shall be on terms as to payment or amount of hire which are not materially less beneficial to the Obligors than the terms which at that time could reasonably be expected to be obtained on the open market for vessels of the same age and type as such Mortgaged Vessel under charter commitments of a similar type and period.

The Obligors shall promptly notify the Agent of any Charter made for a period which is longer than thirteen (13) months (including any optional or automatic extension periods) and shall deliver to the Agent, upon the Agent's reasonable request, a summary of all Charters to which the Mortgaged Vessels are subject, including the identity of the charterers.

The Obligors shall give notice of the assignments contained in the General Assignment for each Mortgaged Vessel to the charterer under any Charter for such Mortgaged Vessel longer than thirteen (13) months (including any optional or automatic extension periods) immediately upon entry into the General Assignment (or, if later, the date of entry into such Charter) and shall ensure that the Agent receives a copy of that notice, provided that, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, no notice shall be required to be given if the Borrower demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent (acting on the instructions of all of the Lenders), sound commercial reasons to refrain from giving such notice. If a charterer of a Mortgaged Vessel is notified of the assignment under the General Assignment, the Obligors shall use reasonable endeavours to obtain acknowledgements of such notices from that charterer (it being acknowledged that it may not be possible to obtain such acknowledgements).

Except with approval or as provided at paragraph f) below, the Obligors shall not terminate or rescind the Bareboat Charters or withdraw the Mortgaged Vessel from service under the Bareboat Charters or take any similar action. Except with approval or as provided at paragraph f) below, the Bareboat Charterers shall not terminate or rescind the Bareboat Charters for any reason whatsoever.

The Owner and/or the Bareboat Charterers may terminate the Bareboat Charters and related Bareboat Charterparty Fee Agreements (as defined in the relevant General Assignment) and withdraw the relevant Mortgaged Vessel from service under the Bareboat Charters and the Security Agent shall, at the request and the cost of the Borrower, as soon as reasonably practicable release all Transaction Security granted to it by

the Owner and/or the Bareboat Charterers in respect of the Bareboat Charters and related Bareboat Charterparty Hire and Management Fee Agreements in each case provided that:

the Owner or the relevant Bareboat Charterer has given the Agent and the Security Agent not less than 5 (five) Business Days' (or such shorter period as the Lenders may agree) prior written notice of the proposed termination;

ii)

the Owner grants such Transaction Security as the Security Agent, in its reasonable opinion, requires and the Owner carries out any action to protect, perfect or give priority to the Transaction Security in each case as the Security Agent, in its reasonable opinion, requires;

iii)

this Agreement and any other relevant Finance Documents has been unconditionally amended in such manner as the Agent, in its reasonable opinion, requires in consequence of that additional security being provided; and

iv)

the Agent, or its duly authorised representative, has received such documents and evidence it may, in its reasonable opinion, 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.

No Obligor shall do anything which would or might prevent the other Obligors complying with this Clause 22 (Dealings with Mortgaged Vessels) or Clauses 23 (Condition and Operation of Mortgaged Vessels) or 24 (Insurance), or fail to do anything required by the Bareboat Charters where failure to do so would or might have such an effect.

Except as approved by the Majority Lenders, the Bareboat Charterers shall not grant or allow to exist any Security Interest over any asset of the Bareboat Charterers over which a Security Interest is granted or expressed to be granted by its General Assignment.

22.6	Payment of Earnings

The relevant Earnings from the Mortgaged Vessel shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Mortgaged Vessel's General Assignment. If any Earnings are held by brokers or other agents, they shall be paid to the Security Agent, if so required by the Security Agent following any date on which the Earnings have become payable to the Security Agent under the Mortgaged Vessel's General Assignment.

22.7	Class Records

Upon written request by the Agent not more than once per year except in case of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Obligors shall instruct the relevant Classification Society to send to the Agent copies of all class records held by that Classification Society in relation to the relevant Mortgaged Vessel.

Except with approval of the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders), no material part of the Mortgaged Vessel or any equipment shall be removed from the Mortgaged Vessel if to do so would materially reduce its value (unless at the same time it is replaced with equivalent parts or equipment owned by the Owner free of any Security Interest except Security Interests created pursuant to the Security Documents).

23.5	Third Party Owned Equipment

Except with approval of the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders), equipment owned by a third party shall not be installed on the Mortgaged Vessel if it cannot be removed without risk of causing damage to the structure or fabric of the Mortgaged Vessel or incurring significant expense.

25.	MINIMUM SECURITY VALUE

Each Obligor undertakes that this Clause 25 will be complied with from the date of this Agreement until the end of the Facility Period.

For the purpose of the Finance Documents, the value at any time of any Mortgaged Vessel or any other asset over which additional security is provided under this Clause 25 will be its value as most recently determined in accordance with this Clause 25 and, for the avoidance of doubt, in case of additional valuations required by the Agent as contemplated in Clause 25.2c), on the basis of such additional valuations.

25.2	Valuation Frequency

Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, valuations of each Mortgaged Vessel and each such other asset in accordance with this Clause 25 shall be provided to the Agent:

as required to determine the Initial Security Value,

ii)

semi-annually (as at each 30 June and 31 December), along with each Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Clause 20.3 (Financial Testing) in respect of such dates, and

as required to determine the Market Value of the Mortgaged Vessels as contemplated in Clause 7.4 (Mandatory prepayment - Sale or Total Loss of a Mortgaged Vessel) in connection with a Sale or Total Loss of a Mortgaged Vessel Security Value.

After an Event of Default has occurred and while it is continuing, valuations of each Mortgaged Vessel and each such other asset in accordance with this Clause 25 may be required by the Agent at any time.

At any time, if the Agent reasonably suspects the Borrower is not in compliance with (i) Clause 20 (Financial Covenants), (ii) Clause 28.1c) (in relation to Forward Freight Agreements), (iii) the required Initial Security Value in connection with any Utilisation, or (iv) this Clause 25, the Agent may (with thirty (30) days' prior notice (other than in the case of item (iii) of this sub-clause c) in which case no such notice period shall apply)) either request additional valuations of each Mortgaged Vessel to be provided to it by the Borrower or itself obtain additional valuations of each Mortgaged Vessel, in each case, such additional valuations (whether obtained by the Borrower or by the Security Agent) to prevail.

25.3	Expenses of Valuation

The Borrower shall bear, and reimburse to the Agent where incurred by the Agent, all costs and expenses of providing or obtaining valuations.

25.5	Currency of Valuation

Valuations shall be provided by an Approved Broker in Dollars or, if an Approved Broker is of the view that the relevant type of vessel is generally bought and sold in another currency, in that other currency.

25.6	Basis of Valuation

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

without physical inspection provided that the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders acting reasonably) may by no less than two months' notice to the Borrower require that the Market Value be determined in respect of one or more Mortgaged Vessels with physical inspection;

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 not under duress; and

without taking into account the benefit of any charter commitment.

25.7	Information Required for Valuation

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

25.8	Approved Brokers

All valuers must be an Approved Broker. The Agent may from time to time notify the Borrower of approval of one or more additional independent ship brokers as Approved Brokers for the purposes of this Clause 25.

25.9	Appointment of Approved Brokers

When a valuation is required for the purposes of this Clause 25, the Borrower shall promptly appoint two (2) Approved Brokers to provide such a valuation. If the Borrower is approved to appoint valuers but fails to do so promptly, the Agent may appoint Approved Brokers to provide that valuation.

25.10

Number of Valuers

Each valuation will be carried out by two Approved Brokers obtained by the Borrower.

25.11

Differences in Valuations

Subject to paragraphs b) and c) below, if the valuations provided by each Approved Broker differ, the value of the relevant Mortgaged Vessel for the purposes of the Finance Documents will be the mean average of those valuations.

If the valuations on a Mortgaged Vessel delivered by the two (2) Approved Brokers deviates by a margin of more than twenty per cent. (20%) of the higher of the two valuations, the Agent (acting on behalf of the Lenders) may request a valuation from a third Approved Broker and the "Market Value" of the relevant Mortgaged Vessel shall thereafter be the average of the three (3) valuations.

If the valuations of all Mortgaged Vessels in the aggregate delivered by two (2) Approved Brokers deviates by a margin of more than ten per cent. 10% of the higher of the two valuations, the Agent (acting on behalf of the Lenders) may request valuations from a third Approved Broker for all such Mortgaged Vessels and the "Market Value" of such Mortgaged Vessels shall thereafter be the average of the three (3) valuations.

25.12

Security Shortfall

If at any time the Security Value is less than the Minimum Value, the Agent may, and shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, by notice to the Borrower require that such deficiency be remedied. The Borrower shall then within fourteen (14) days of receipt by the Borrower of such notice ensure that the Security Value equals or exceeds the Minimum Value. For this purpose, the Borrower may, at its option:

provide additional security over other assets approved by the Majority Lenders in accordance with this Clause 25; and/or

prepay any part of the Loan under Clause 7.6 (Voluntary Prepayment) provided that in such case no minimum prepayment amount requirements shall be applicable;

and in the event that such additional security is not provided, or prepayment made, within fourteen (14) days of receipt by the Borrower of such notice, the Borrower shall prepay such amount of the Loan as shall be required under Clause 7.3 (Mandatory Prepayment – Security Value), which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

25.13

Creation 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:

in the case of any vessel mortgaged as additional security pursuant to Clause 25.12 (Security Shortfall), the relevant owner accedes as an Additional Guarantor and grants the Transaction Security and carries out any action to protect, perfect or give priority to the Transaction Security in each case identified in Part III of Schedule 3 (Conditions Precedent);

that additional security, its value and the method of its valuation have been approved by the Majority Lenders, it being agreed that cash collateral provided in Dollars and placed in a blocked account with the Account

Bank which is subject to a perfected Security Interest in favour of the Security Agent shall always be acceptable to the Lenders and shall be valued at par;

a Security Interest over that security has been constituted in favour of the Security Agent or (if appropriate) the Finance Parties pursuant to security documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Security Agent;

the Finance Documents have been unconditionally amended in such manner as the Agent, in its reasonable opinion, requires in consequence of that additional security being provided; and

25.14

the Borrower shall have provided the Agent and the Security Agent with at least fifteen (15) Business Days' prior written notice of such request for release of the relevant Security Interests, such notice stating a proposed date of release (the "Proposed Additional Security Reduction Date") which date shall be no later than 30 days following the date of the relevant semi-annual valuation Compliance Certificate referred to Clause iii) below;

ii)

the released security must be in lump sums of US$1,000,000 or, if the security is less than US$1,000,000, that amount; and

Transaction Security rights: Each Hedging Provider is a Finance Party and as such, will be entitled to share in the Transaction Security in respect of any liabilities of the Obligors under the Hedging Contracts with such Hedging Provider in the manner and to the extent contemplated by the Finance Documents.

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

Acceleration and Enforcement of Security: Neither the Agent or any other beneficiary of the Security Documents shall be obliged, in connection with any action taken or proposed to be taken under or pursuant to Clause 29 (Events of Default) or pursuant to the other Finance Documents, to have any regard to the requirements of the Hedging Provider except to the extent that the relevant Hedging Provider is also a Lender.

No claims under the Owner's Guarantee. No Hedging Provider shall make any claims under the Owner's Guarantee (such claims to be made only by the Security Agent on behalf of the Finance Parties) and any

104

amounts that may be paid out by the Owner under the Owner's Guarantee shall be deemed to be Recoveries (as defined in Clause 30.4a) and shall be treated and distributed as such.

30.3	Enforcement of Transaction Security

Enforcement instructions:

The Security Agent may refrain from enforcing the Transaction Security unless instructed otherwise by the Majority Lenders.

ii)

The Security Agent shall not enforce the Transaction Security in the absence of instructions from the Majority Lenders unless the Security Agent reasonably considers that it is necessary to do so in order to protect the priority, value or enforceability of the relevant Transaction Security.

iii)

If any action has been taken under Clause 29.24 (Acceleration), the Majority Lenders may, subject to the Transaction Security having become enforceable in accordance with its terms, give or refrain from giving instructions to the Security Agent to enforce or refrain from enforcing the Transaction Security as the Majority Lenders see fit.

Manner of enforcement: If any Transaction Security is being enforced in accordance with this Agreement and the Security Documents, the Security Agent shall enforce the Transaction Security in such manner (including, without limitation, the selection of any administrator (or any analogous officer in any jurisdiction) of any Obligor to be appointed by the Security Agent) as the Majority Lenders shall instruct, or, in the absence of any such instructions, as the Security Agent considers in its discretion to be appropriate or in the best interests of the relevant Secured Parties.

Waiver of rights. To the extent permitted under applicable law, each of the Secured Parties and the Obligors waives all rights it may otherwise have to:

require that the Transaction Security be enforced in any particular order or manner or at any particular time or that any sum received or recovered from any person, or by virtue of the enforcement 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; or

ii)

contest or support any other person in contesting, in any proceeding, (i) the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Transaction Security and/or (ii) the relative rights and duties of the Secured Parties under this Agreement or any other Finance Document with respect to such Transaction Security; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any party hereto to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Transaction Security as provided herein.

Duties owed: Each of the Secured Parties and the Obligors acknowledges that, in the event that the Security Agent enforces or is instructed to enforce any Transaction Security by the Majority Lenders, the duties of the Security Agent and of any Receiver or Delegate owed to the other Secured Parties in respect of the method, type and timing of that enforcement or of the exploitation, management or realisation of any of that Transaction Security shall be no different to or greater than the duty that is owed by the Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate to the Obligors under general law.

Enforcement through Security Agent only: The Secured 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 under the Security Documents except through the Security Agent.

105

30.4	Application of Recoveries

Order of application: Subject to Clause b) below, all amounts from time to time received or recovered by the Security Agent in connection with the realisation or enforcement of all or any part of the Transaction Security and any collections under the Owner's Guarantee (together, for the purposes of this Clause 30.4, the "Recoveries") shall be held by the Security Agent on trust to apply them to the extent permitted by applicable law (and subject to the provisions of this Clause 30.4), in the following order of priority:

in discharging costs, expenses, fees or other sums of a similar nature owing to the Security Agent, any Receiver or any Delegate in connection with any realisation or enforcement of the Transaction Security taken in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

ii)

in payment of all costs and expenses incurred by any other Secured Party in connection with any realisation or enforcement of the Transaction Security taken in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

iii)

in payment to the Agent on its own behalf and on behalf of the Lenders for application (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) towards the discharge of:

first, any and all obligations of the Obligors owed to the Agent under the Finance Documents; and

second, any and all obligations of the Obligors owed to the Lenders under the Finance Documents;

iv)

in payment to the Hedging Providers for application towards the discharge of the obligations of the Obligors owed to the Hedging Providers (on a pro rata basis between such obligations owed to each Hedging Provider); and

if none of the Obligors or other Group Members is under any further actual or contingent liability under any Finance Document or Hedging Contract, in payment to the relevant Obligor or Group Member.

Prospective liabilities: Following an acceleration under Clause 29.24 and/or the enforcement of any of the Transaction Security and/or the receipt of any Recoveries under the Owner's Guarantee, the Security Agent may (upon instructions from the Majority Lenders) hold any amount of the Recoveries in a suspense or impersonal account(s) in the name of the Security Agent with such financial institution (including itself) and for so long as the Security Agent shall think fit (any interest being credited to the relevant account) for later application under Clause 30.4a) (Order of application) in respect of:

any sum due or owing to the Security Agent, any Receiver or any Delegate; and

ii)

any part of the Obligors' liabilities to the Finance Parties,

that the Security Agent reasonably considers, in each case, might become due or owing at any time in the future.

Investment of proceeds: Prior to the application of the proceeds of the Security Property in accordance with Clause 30.4a) (Order of application) the Security Agent may, upon instructions from the Majority Lenders, hold all or part of those proceeds in an interest bearing suspense or impersonal account(s) in the name of the Security Agent with such financial institution (including itself) and for so long as the Security Agent shall think fit (the interest being credited to the relevant account) pending the application from time to time of those monies in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 30.4.

Currency Conversion: For the purpose of, or pending the discharge of, any of the Secured Obligations the Security Agent may convert any moneys received or recovered by the Security Agent from one currency to another (in the case of the Security Agent, at the Security Agent's Spot Rate of Exchange). The obligations of

106

any Obligor to pay in the due currency shall only be satisfied to the extent of the amount of the due currency purchased after deducting the costs of conversion.

Permitted Deductions: The Security Agent shall be entitled, in its discretion, a) to set aside by way of reserve amounts required to meet and b) to make and pay, any deductions and withholdings (on account of taxes or otherwise) which it is or may be required by any applicable law to make from any distribution or payment made by it under this Agreement, and to pay all Taxes which may be assessed against it in respect of any of the Charged Property, or as a consequence of performing its duties, or by virtue of its capacity as Security Agent or otherwise (other than in connection with its remuneration for performing its duties under this Agreement).

Good Discharge: Any payment to be made in respect of the Secured Obligations by the Security Agent:

may be made to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders; or

ii)

shall be made direct to the Hedging Providers,

and any payment made in that way shall be a good discharge, to the extent of that payment, by the Security Agent.

The Security Agent is not under any obligation to make the payments to the Agent or the Hedging Providers under this paragraph f) in the same currency as that in which the Obligors' liabilities are denominated.

Calculation of Amounts: For the purpose of calculating any person's share of any sum payable to or by it, the Security Agent shall be entitled to:

notionally convert the liabilities owed to any person into US Dollars, that notional conversion to be made at the spot rate at which the Security Agent is able to purchase the US Dollars with the actual currency of the Liabilities owed to that person at the time at which that calculation is to be made; and

ii)

assume that all moneys received or recovered as a result of the enforcement or realisation of the Security Property are applied in discharge of the liabilities in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents under which those Liabilities have arisen.

30.5	Turnover by the Finance Parties

Turnover: If at any time prior to the Final Repayment Date, any Finance Party receives or recovers any amount of Recoveries not paid to it in accordance with Clause 30.4 (Application of Recoveries) (including by way of set-off) that Finance Party will:

in relation to receipts and recoveries not received or recovered by way of set-off, hold that amount on trust for the Security Agent and promptly pay that amount to the Security Agent for application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

ii)

in relation to receipts and recoveries received or recovered by way of set-off, promptly pay an amount equal to that recovery to the Security Agent for application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Sums received by Obligors or other Group Members: If any of the Obligors or any other Group Member receives or recovers any sum which, under the terms of any of the Finance Documents, should have been paid to the Security Agent, that Obligor will, and in the case of a Group Member the Obligors shall ensure that that Group Member will, hold that amount on trust for the Security Agent and promptly pay that amount to the Security Agent for application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

107

Saving provision: If, for any reason, any of the trusts expressed to be created in this Clause 7 should fail or be unenforceable, the affected Finance Party or Obligor or other Group Member will promptly pay an amount equal to that receipt or recovery to the Security Agent to be held on trust by the Security Agent for application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

30.6

Prevalence of this Clause 30 over Clause 37.6 (Partial Payments). To the extent that there are any Recoveries (as defined in Clause 30.4 (Application of Recoveries)), such Recoveries shall be applied first in accordance with this Clause 30 and thereafter the Recoveries received by the Agent in accordance with this Clause 30 shall be applied by the Agent in accordance with Clause 37.6 (Partial Payments) if applicable.

31.	CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

31.1	Assignments and Transfers by the Lenders

Subject to this Clause 31, a Lender (the "Existing Lender") may assign any of its rights, or transfer by novation or sub-participate any of its rights and obligations, under any Finance Document to a bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the "New Lender").

31.2	Conditions of Assignment or Transfer

The consent of the Borrower is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender or any sub-participation or any other agreement or arrangement having an economic effect substantially similar to a sub-participation of any of its obligations by a Lender which involves the transfer of voting rights to the transferee or gives the transferee effective control over voting rights (a "Sub-Participation"), unless the assignment, transfer or Sub-Participation (as applicable) is (i) to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, or (ii) following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing and has been notified to the Borrower by the Agent. Any assignment, transfer or Sub-Participation by a Lender shall be without additional cost to the Borrower or the Agent. The Agent will immediately advise the Borrower of the assignment, transfer or Sub-Participation.

The Borrower's consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and will be deemed to have been given ten (10) Business Days after the Agent or Existing Lender has requested consent unless consent is expressly refused within that time.

An assignment or transfer will only be effective:

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

ii)

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

iii)

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

108

iv)

if it is for a minimum amount of five million Dollars (US$5,000,000) or, if less, all of the Commitments of the Existing Lender;

if required, the Borrower has given its consent in accordance with paragraph a) above; and

vi)

in respect of a transfer only, will only be effective if the New Lender enters into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Subordination Deed and if the procedure set out in Clause 31.5 (Procedure for Transfer) is complied with.

If:

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

ii)

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

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under that Clause 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.

Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the 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 the Finance Documents on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with the Finance Documents and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

No Lender may transfer all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under the Finance Documents to a direct or indirect shareholder of the Borrower holding or controlling more than 5% of the shares in the Borrower, to any Obligor, or to any other Group Member without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders.

31.3

Fee

The New Lender (unless it is an Affiliate of the Existing Lender) shall, on the date upon which an assignment takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of three thousand five hundred Dollars (US$3,500).

31.4	Limitation of Responsibility of Existing Lenders

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

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

ii)

the financial condition of any Obligor;

iii)

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

iv)

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

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

109

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

has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Obligors and their 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 or any other Finance Party in connection with any Finance Document; and

ii)

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

Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

accept a re transfer or re assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 31 (Changes to the Lenders); or

ii)

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

31.5	Procedure for Transfer

Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 31.2 (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer), a transfer is effected in accordance with Clause 31.5d) below when a) the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate and b) the Agent executes any document required under Clause 31.2c) (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer) which it may be necessary for it to execute, in each case delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender duly executed by them and, in the case of any such other document, any other relevant person. The Agent shall, subject to Clause 31.5b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a Transfer Certificate and any such other document each duly completed, appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate and such other document.

The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate 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 similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

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

On the Transfer Date:

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

ii)

each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which 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;

110

iii)

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

iv)

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

31.6	Procedure for Assignment

Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 31.2 (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer) an assignment may be effected in accordance with Clause 31.6c) below when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to Clause 31.6b) below, 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, execute that Assignment Agreement.

The Agent shall only 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 laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New Lender.

The Obligors and the other Finance Parties irrevocably authorise the Agent to execute any Assignment Agreement on their behalf without any consultations with them.

On the Transfer Date:

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

ii)

the Existing Lender will be released from the obligations (the "Relevant Obligations") expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement (and any corresponding obligations by which it is bound in respect of the Security Documents); and

iii)

the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender" and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 31.6 to assign their rights and obligations under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the Borrower or unless in accordance with Clause 31.5 (Procedure for Transfer), to obtain a release by the relevant Obligor from the obligations owed to such Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that such Lenders comply with the conditions set out in Clause 31.2 (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer).

31.7	Copy of Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation to Borrower

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, an Assignment Agreement or an Increase Confirmation and any other document required under Clause 31.2c) (Conditions of Assignment or Transfer), send a copy of that Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation and such documents to the Borrower.

111

31.8	Security Over Lenders' Rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 31, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create a Security Interest in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation any charge, assignment or other Security Interest to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; except that no such charge, assignment or Security Interest shall:

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

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.

32.	CHANGES TO THE OBLIGORS

32.1	No Transfer or Assignment

No Obligor may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

32.2	Additional Guarantors

Subject to compliance with the provisions of paragraphs c) and d) of Clause 19.8 ("Know your customer" checks), the Borrower may request that any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries become a Guarantor.

A Group Member shall become an Additional Guarantor if:

the proposed Additional Guarantor delivers to the Agent a duly completed and executed Accession Deed; and

ii)

the Agent has received all of the documents and other evidence listed in Part III of Schedule 3 (Conditions Precedent) in relation to that Additional Guarantor, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent.

The Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders promptly upon being satisfied that it has received (in form and substance satisfactory to it) all the documents and other evidence listed in Part III of Schedule 3 (Conditions Precedent).

Other than to the extent that the Majority Lenders notify the Agent in writing to the contrary before the Agent gives the notification described in paragraph c) 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.

32.3	Repetition of Representations

Delivery of an Accession Deed by any Additional Guarantor constitutes confirmation by that Additional Guarantor that the Repeating Representations are true and correct in relation to it as at the date of delivery as if made by reference to the facts and circumstances then existing.

112

33.	ROLES OF AGENT, ARRANGER AND BASE REFERENCE BANKS

33.1	Appointment of the Agent

Each of the Arranger and the Lenders appoints the Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the Finance Documents.

Each of the Arranger and the Lenders authorises the Agent to perform the duties, obligations and responsibilities and to exercise the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to the Agent under or in connection with the Finance Documents together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions.

33.2	Instructions

The Agent shall:

unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Agent in accordance with any instructions given to it by:

all Lenders if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is an all Lender decision; and

in all other cases, the Majority Lenders;

ii)

not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with paragraph i) above.

The Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any instruction, from the Majority Lenders (or, if the relevant Finance Document stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Lender or group of Lenders, from that Lender or group of Lenders) as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion and the Agent may refrain from acting unless and until it receives any such instructions or clarification that it has requested.

Save in the case of decisions stipulated to be a matter for any other Lender or group of Lenders under the relevant Finance Document and unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document, any instructions given to the Agent by the Majority Lenders shall override any conflicting instructions given by any other Parties and will be binding on all Finance Parties save for the Security Agent.

The Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of any Lender or group of Lenders until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its discretion require (which may be greater in extent than that contained in the Finance Documents and which may include payment in advance) for any cost, loss or liability which it may incur in complying with those instructions.

In the absence of instructions, the Agent may act (or refrain from acting) as it considers to be in the best interest of the Lenders.

The Agent is not authorised to act on behalf of a Lender (without first obtaining that Lender's consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to any Finance Document. This paragraph f) shall not apply to any legal or arbitration proceeding relating to the perfection, preservation or protection of rights under the Security Documents or enforcement of the security constituted by the Security Documents or the Security Documents.

33.3	Duties of the Agent

The Agent's duties under the Finance Documents are solely mechanical and administrative in nature.

113

Subject to paragraph c) below, the Agent shall promptly forward to a Party the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Agent for that Party by any other Party.

Without prejudice to Clause 31.7 (Copy of Transfer Certificate, Assignment Agreement or Increase Confirmation to Borrower), paragraph b) above shall not apply to any Transfer Certificate, any Assignment Agreement or any Increase Confirmation.

Except where a Finance Document specifically provides otherwise, the Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.

If the Agent receives notice from a Party referring to this Agreement, describing a Default and stating that the circumstance described is a Default, it shall promptly notify the other Finance Parties.

If the Agent is aware of the non-payment of any principal, interest, commitment fee or other fee payable to a Finance Party (other than the Agent, the Arranger or the Security Agent) under this Agreement, it shall promptly notify the other Finance Parties.

The Agent shall have only those duties, obligations and responsibilities expressly specified in the Finance Documents to which it is expressed to be a party (and no others shall be implied).

33.4	Role of the Arranger

Except as specifically provided in the Finance Documents, the Arranger has no obligations of any kind to any other Party under or in connection with any Finance Document.

33.5	No fiduciary duties

Nothing in any Finance Document constitutes the Agent or the Arranger as a trustee or fiduciary of any other person.

Neither the Agent nor the Arranger shall be bound to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.

33.6	Business with the Group

The Agent and the Arranger may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with any Group Member.

33.7	Rights and discretions

The Agent may:

rely on any representation, communication, notice or document believed by it to be genuine, correct and appropriately authorised;

ii)

assume that:

any instructions received by it from the Majority Lenders, any Lenders or any group of Lenders are duly given in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents; and

unless it has received notice of revocation, that those instructions have not been revoked; and

iii)

rely on a certificate from any person:

(A)

as to any matter of fact or circumstance which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of that person; or

114

(B)

to the effect that such person approves of any particular dealing, transaction, step, action or thing,

as sufficient evidence that that is the case and, in the case of paragraph A) above, may assume the truth and accuracy of that certificate.

The Agent may assume (unless it has received notice to the contrary in its capacity as agent for the Lenders) that:

no Default has occurred (unless it has actual knowledge of a Default arising under Clause 29.1 (Non-payment));

ii)

any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any Party or any group of Lenders has not been exercised; and

iii)

any notice or request made by the Borrower (other than a Utilisation Request or Selection Notice) is made on behalf of and with the consent and knowledge of all the Obligors.

The Agent may engage and pay for the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts.

Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph c) above or paragraph e) below, the Agent may at any time engage and pay for the services of any lawyers to act as independent counsel to the Agent (and so separate from any lawyers instructed by the Lenders) if the Agent in its reasonable opinion deems this to be desirable.

The Agent may rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts (whether obtained by the Agent or by any other Party) and shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of its so relying.

The Agent may act in relation to the Finance Documents through its officers, employees and agents and the Agent shall not:

be liable for any error of judgment made by any such person; or

ii)

be bound to supervise, or be in any way responsible for, any loss incurred by reason of misconduct, omission or default on the part of any such person,

unless such error or such loss was directly caused by the Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Unless a Finance Document expressly provides otherwise the Agent may disclose to any other Party any information it reasonably believes it has received as agent under this Agreement.

Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph g) above, the Agent:

may disclose; and

ii)

on the written request of the Borrower or the Majority Lenders shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, disclose, the identity of a Defaulting Lender to the Borrower and to the other Finance Parties.

(i)

Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, neither the Agent nor the Arranger is obliged to do or omit to do anything if it would, or might in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality.

(j)

Notwithstanding any provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, the Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the

115

repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

33.8	Responsibility for documentation

Neither the Agent nor the Arranger is responsible or liable for:

the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) supplied by the Agent, the Arranger, an Obligor or any other person in or in connection with any Finance Document or the transactions contemplated in the Finance Documents or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; or

the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document or the Transaction Security or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security; or

any determination as to whether any information provided or to be provided to any Finance Party is non-public information the use of which may be regulated or prohibited by applicable law or regulation relating to insider dealing or otherwise.

33.9	No duty to monitor

The Agent shall not be bound to enquire:

whether or not any Default has occurred;

as to the performance, default or any breach by any Party of its obligations under any Finance Document; or

whether any other event specified in any Finance Document has occurred.

Without limiting paragraph b) below (and without prejudice to any other provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the liability of the Agent, the Agent will not be liable (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) for:

any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value, or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of taking or not taking any action under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct;

ii)

exercising, or not exercising, any right, power, authority or discretion given to it by, or in connection with, any Finance Document, the Transaction Security or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with, any Finance Document or the Transaction Security; or

No Party (other than the Agent) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of the Agent in respect of any claim it might have against the Agent or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document or any Transaction Document and any officer, employee or agent of the Agent may rely on this Clause subject to Clause 1.3 (Third party rights) and the provisions of the Third Parties Act.

The Agent will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Finance Documents to be paid by the Agent if the Agent has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognised clearing or settlement system used by the Agent for that purpose.

Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Agent or the Arranger to carry out:

any "know your customer" or other checks in relation to any person; or

ii)

any check on the extent to which any transaction contemplated by this Agreement might be unlawful for any Lender,

on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent and the Arranger that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or the Arranger.

Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the Agent's liability, any liability of the Agent arising under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been finally judicially determined to have been suffered (as determined by reference to the date of default of the Agent or, if later, the date on which the loss arises as a result of such default) but without reference to any special conditions or circumstances known to the Agent at any time which increase the amount of that loss. In no event shall the Agent be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not the Agent has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.

33.11

Lenders' indemnity to the Agent

Each Lender shall (in proportion to its share of the Total Commitments or, if the Total Commitments are then zero, to its share of the Total Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) indemnify the Agent, within three Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever) incurred by the Agent (otherwise than by reason of the Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct) (or, in the case of any cost, loss or liability pursuant to Clause 37.12 (Disruption to Payment Systems etc.), notwithstanding the Agent's negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent) in acting as Agent under the Finance Documents (unless the Agent has been reimbursed by an Obligor pursuant to a Finance Document).

117

Subject to paragraph c) below, the Borrower shall immediately on demand reimburse any Lender for any payment that Lender makes to the Agent pursuant to paragraph a) above.

Paragraph b) above shall not apply to the extent that the indemnity payment in respect of which the Lender claims reimbursement relates to a liability of the Agent to an Obligor.

33.12

Resignation of the Agent

The Agent may resign and appoint one of its Affiliates as successor by giving notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.

Alternatively the Agent may resign by giving 30 days' notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, in which case the Majority Lenders may appoint a successor Agent, such successor to be acceptable to the Borrower (acting reasonably).

If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent in accordance with paragraph b) above within 20 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Agent may appoint a successor Agent, such successor to be acceptable to the Borrower (acting reasonably).

If the Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate for it to remain as agent and the Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Agent under paragraph c) above, the Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Agent) agree with the proposed successor Agent amendments to this Clause 33 and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees together with any reasonable amendments to the agency fee payable under this Agreement which are consistent with the successor Agent's normal fee rates and those amendments will bind the Parties.

The retiring Agent shall make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents. The Borrower shall, within three Business Days of demand, reimburse the retiring Agent for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) properly incurred by it in making available such documents and records and providing such assistance.

The Agent's resignation notice shall only take effect upon the appointment of a successor.

Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph e) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Agent and Security Agent) and this Clause 33.12 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

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

the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 12.8 (FATCA Information) and the Borrower or a Lender reasonably believes that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

118

ii)

the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 12.8 (FATCA Information) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

iii)

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

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

33.13

Replacement of the Agent

After consultation with the Borrower, the Majority Lenders may, by giving 30 days' notice to the Agent (or, at any time the Agent is an Impaired Agent, by giving any shorter notice determined by the Majority Lenders) replace the Agent by appointing a successor Agent, such successor to be acceptable to the Borrower (acting reasonably).

The retiring Agent shall (at its own cost if it is an Impaired Agent and otherwise at the expense of the Lenders) make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.

The appointment of the successor Agent shall take effect on the date specified in the notice from the Majority Lenders to the retiring Agent. As from this date, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph b) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Agent and the Security Agent) and this Clause 33 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).

Any successor Agent and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

33.14

Confidentiality

In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, the Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments.

If information is received by another division or department of the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.

33.15

Relationship with the Lenders

The Agent may treat the person shown in its records as Lender at the opening of business (in the place of the Agent's principal office as notified to the Finance Parties from time to time) as the Lender acting through its Facility Office:

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,

119

unless it has received not less than five Business Days' prior notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Any Lender may by notice to the Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications, information and documents to be made or despatched to that Lender under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under Clause 39.6 (Electronic communication)) electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the transmission of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to be made) and be treated as a notification of a substitute address, electronic mail address (or such other information), department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 39.2 (Addresses) and paragraph i) of Clause 39.6 (Electronic communication) and the Agent shall be entitled to treat such person as the person entitled to receive all such notices, communications, information and documents as though that person were that Lender.

33.16

Credit appraisal by the Lenders

Without affecting the responsibility of any Obligor for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Finance Document, each Lender confirms to the Agent and the Arranger that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Finance Document including but not limited to:

the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document, the Transaction Security and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security;

the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Agent, any Party or by any other person under or in connection with any Finance Document, the transactions contemplated by any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document; and

the right or title of any person in or to, or the value or sufficiency of any part of the Charged Property, the priority of any of the Transaction Security or the existence of any Security Interest affecting the Charged Property.

Any amount payable to the Agent under Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Agent and the Security Agent), Clause 16 (Costs and Expenses) and Clause 33.11 (Lenders' indemnity to the Agent) after the occurrence of an Event of Default while such Event of Default is continuing, shall include the cost of utilising the Agent's management time or other resources and will be calculated on the basis of such reasonable daily or hourly rates as the Agent may notify to the Borrower and the Lenders, and is in addition to any fee paid or payable to the Agent under Clause 11 (Fees).

120

33.18

Deduction from amounts payable by the Agent

If any Party owes an amount to the Agent under the Finance Documents the Agent may, after giving notice to that Party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payment to that Party which the Agent would otherwise be obliged to make under the Finance Documents and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Finance Documents that Party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted.

33.19

Reliance and engagement letters

Each Finance Party and Secured Party confirms that each of the Arranger and the Agent has authority to accept on its behalf (and ratifies the acceptance on its behalf of any letters or reports already accepted by the Arranger or Agent) the terms of any reliance letter or engagement letters relating to any reports or letters provided by accountants in connection with the Finance Documents or the transactions contemplated in the Finance Documents and to bind it in respect of those reports or letters and to sign such letters on its behalf and further confirms that it accepts the terms and qualifications set out in such letters.

33.20

Role of Base Reference Banks

No Base Reference Bank is under any obligation to provide a quotation or any other information to the Agent.

No Base Reference Bank will be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with any Finance Document, or for any Base Reference Bank Quotation, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

No Party (other than the relevant Base Reference Bank) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of any Base Reference Bank in respect of any claim it might have against that Base Reference Bank or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Finance Document, or to any Base Reference Bank Quotation, and any officer, employee or agent of each Base Reference Bank may rely on this Clause 33.20 subject to Clause 1.3 (Third party rights) and the provisions of the Third Parties Act.

34.1	Trust and agency

The Security Agent declares that it shall hold the Transaction Security on trust for the Secured Parties on the terms contained in this Agreement.

Each Secured Party (that is or may become party to this Agreement) hereby irrevocably appoints the Security Agent to act as its agent (in Danish: repræsentant) for the Secured Parties in accordance with Sections 4f and 4g of the Danish act on trading in securities etc. (as amended from time to time) (in Danish: værdipapirhandelsloven) under and in connection with each of the Danish law governed Security Documents to which the Security Agent is a party (the "Relevant Danish Security Documents").

121

Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that the Security Agent shall have only those duties, obligations and responsibilities expressly specified in this Agreement or in the Security Documents to which the Security Agent is expressed to be a party (and no others shall be implied).

34.2	Instructions to Security Agent and exercise of discretion

Subject to paragraphs d) and e) below, the Security Agent shall act in accordance with any instructions given to it by the Majority Lenders or, if so instructed by the Majority Lenders, refrain from exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Security Agent and shall be entitled to assume that (i) any instructions received by it from an Agent, the Finance Parties or a group of Finance Parties are duly given in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents and (ii) unless it has received actual notice of revocation, that those instructions or directions have not been revoked. The Security Agent shall not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from acting) in accordance with this paragraph a) (or, if this Agreement stipulates the matter is a decision for any other Finance Party or group of Finance Parties, in accordance with instructions given to it by that Finance Party or group of Finance Parties).

The Security Agent shall be entitled to request instructions, or clarification of any direction, from the Majority Lenders as to whether, and in what manner, it should exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, powers, authorities and discretions and the Security Agent may refrain from acting unless and until those instructions or clarification are received by it.

where this Agreement requires the Security Agent to act in a specified manner or to take a specified action;

in respect of any provision which protects the Security Agent's own position in its personal capacity as opposed to its role of Security Agent for the Secured Parties including, without limitation, the provisions set out in Clauses 34.4(Security Agent's discretions) to Clause 34.19 (Disapplication);

iv)

in respect of the exercise of the Security Agent's discretion to exercise a right, power or authority under any of Clause 30.4a) (Order of application), Clause 30.4b) (Prospective liabilities), and Clause 30.4e) (Permitted Deductions).

If giving effect to instructions given by the Majority Lenders would (in the Security Agent's opinion) have an effect equivalent to an amendment to this Agreement or the Finance Documents, the Security Agent shall not act in accordance with those instructions unless consent to it so acting is obtained from each Secured Party (other than the Security Agent) whose consent would have been required in respect of that amendment.

In exercising any discretion to exercise a right, power or authority under this Agreement where either it has not received any instructions from the Majority Lenders as to the exercise of that discretion, the Security Agent shall do so having regard to the interests of all the relevant Secured Parties.

34.3	Security Agent's Actions

Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 30.3 (Enforcement of Transaction Security) and Clause 34.2 (Instructions to Security Agent and exercise of discretion), the Security Agent may (but shall not be obliged to), in the absence of any instructions to the contrary, take such action in the exercise of any of its powers and duties

122

under the Finance Documents as it considers in its reasonable discretion to be appropriate or in the best interests of the relevant Secured Parties.

34.4	Security Agent's discretions

if it receives any instructions or directions under Clause 30.3 (Enforcement of Transaction Security) to take any action in relation to the Transaction Security, assume that all applicable conditions under the Finance Documents for taking that action have been satisfied;

engage, pay for and rely on the advice or services of any legal advisers, accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other experts (whether obtained by the Security Agent or by any other Secured Party) whose advice or services are at any time necessary, expedient or desirable and the Security Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of so relying;

rely upon any communication or document believed by it to be genuine and, as to any matters of fact which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of a Secured Party or an Obligor, upon a certificate signed by or on behalf of that person;

unless this Agreement expressly specifies otherwise, disclose to any other Party any information it reasonably believes it has received as security trustee under this Agreement; and

refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of any Party (including bringing any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with the Finance Documents) until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its discretion require (whether by way of payment in advance or otherwise) for all costs, losses and liabilities which it may incur in so acting.

34.5	Security Agent's obligation to forward documents

The Security Agent shall promptly forward to a Party the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Security Agent for that Party by any other Party provided that, except where a Finance Document expressly provides otherwise, the Security Agent is not obliged to review or check the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any document it forwards to another Party.

34.6	Excluded obligations

have or be deemed to have any relationship of trust or agency or any fiduciary relationship with, any Obligor; or

be obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

34.7	Exclusion of liability

None of the Security Agent, any Receiver or any Delegate shall accept responsibility or be liable for:

the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) supplied by the Security Agent or any other person in or in connection with any Finance Document or the transactions contemplated in the Finance Documents, or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document;

the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document, the Transaction Security or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security;

the exercise of, or the failure to exercise, any judgment, discretion or power given to it by or in connection with any of the Finance Documents, the Transaction Security or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with, the Finance Documents or the Transaction Security; or

any shortfall which arises on the enforcement or realisation of the Transaction Security.

Nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Security Agent to carry out:

any "know your customer" or other checks in relation to any person; or

ii)

any check on the extent to which any transaction contemplated by this Agreement might be unlawful for any Finance Party,

124

on behalf of any Finance Party and each Finance Party confirms to the Security Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Security Agent.

Without prejudice to any provision of any Finance Document excluding or limiting the liability of the Security Agent, any Receiver or Delegate, any liability of the Security Agent, any Receiver or Delegate arising under or in connection with any Finance Document or the Transaction Security shall be limited to the amount of actual loss which has been finally judicially determined to have been suffered (as determined by reference to the date of default of the Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate (as the case may be) or, if later, the date on which the loss arises as a result of such default) but without reference to any special conditions or circumstances known to the Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate (as the case may be) at any time which increase the amount of that loss. In no event shall the Security Agent, any Receiver or Delegate be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, reputation, business opportunity or anticipated saving, or for special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, whether or not the Security Agent, Receiver or Delegate (as the case may be) has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages.

Where the Security Agent is named on any insurance policy as an insured party, it shall not be responsible for any loss which may be suffered by reason of, directly or indirectly, 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 an Agent shall have requested it to do so in writing and the Security Agent shall have failed to do so within fourteen days after receipt of that request.

34.12

34.20

Intra-Group Creditors and Obligors: Power of Attorney

Each Intra-Group Creditor and Obligor by way of security for its obligations under this Agreement irrevocably appoints the Security Agent to be its attorney to do anything which that Intra-Group Creditor or Obligor has authorised the Security Agent or any other Party to do under this Agreement or is itself required to do under this Agreement but has failed to do (and the Security Agent may delegate that power on such terms as it sees fit) and the same constitutes an Event of Default which is continuing.

127

34.21

Resignation of the Security Agent

The Security Agent may resign by giving notice to the other Parties in which case the Majority Lenders may appoint a successor Security Agent, such successor to be acceptable to the Borrower (acting reasonably).

The retiring Security Agent (the "Retiring Security Agent") shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Security Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Security Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Security Agent under the Finance Documents.

The Security Agent's resignation notice shall only take effect upon (i) the appointment of a successor and (ii) the transfer of all of the Transaction Security to that successor.

Upon the appointment of a successor, the Retiring Security Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph b) of Clause 34.16 (Winding up of trust) and under paragraph c) above) but shall, in respect of any act or omission by it whilst it was the Security Agent, remain entitled to the benefit of Clauses 34 (The Security Agent), 14.3 (Indemnity to the Agent and the Security Agent and Clause 14.4 (Indemnity Concerning Security). Its successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if that successor had been an original Party.

In this event, the Security Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph a) above but the cost referred to in paragraph c) above shall be for the account of the Company.

Delegation

Each of the Security Agent, any Receiver and any Delegate may, at any time, delegate by power of attorney or otherwise to any person for any period, all or any of the rights, powers and discretions vested in it by any of the Finance Documents.

The Security Agent shall, at the instruction of the Majority Lenders, undertake such enforcement or other proceedings and make such claims against any delegates of the Security Agent appointed pursuant to this Clause 34.22 in respect of any right the Security Agent may have with respect to any act or omission of any kind by such delegate of the Security Agent.

34.23

Additional Security Agents

The Security Agent may at any time with the prior consent of the Majority Lenders appoint (and subsequently remove) any person to act 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 relevant Secured Parties or (ii) for the purposes of conforming to any

128

legal requirements, restrictions or conditions 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 Company and each of the Agents of that appointment.

Furthermore, each Obligor shall be entitled to deal with Agent and/or Security Agent in all matters arising under or relating to this Agreement and other Finance Documents.

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

the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 37 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the "Sharing Payment") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 37.6 (Partial Payments).

36.2	Redistribution of Payments

The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the "Sharing Finance Parties") in accordance with Clause 37.6 (Partial Payments) towards the obligations of that Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties.

36.3	Recovering Finance Party's Rights

On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 36.2 (Redistribution of Payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor, as between the relevant Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

36.4	Reversal of Redistribution

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

each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any

130

interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay) (the "Redistributed Amount"); and

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

36.5	Exceptions

This Clause 36 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause 36.5, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.

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

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

ii)

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

37.	PAYMENT MECHANICS

37.1	Payments to the Agent

On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document (other than a Hedging Contract), that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London) with such bank as the Agent specifies.

37.2	Distributions by the Agent

Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 37.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and Clause 37.4 (Clawback) be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment (but with same day value) in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five (5) Business Days' notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London). Any such payment made under this Clause 37.2 shall be made on the basis that if such payment is placed on overnight deposit by the Agent before making such funds available to the relevant Party and interest is earned on such overnight deposit, this interest shall be (or a pro rata amount of such interest in accordance with that Party's share in the payment) shall be made available to the Party entitled to receive the payment.

131

37.3	Distributions to an Obligor

The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with Clause 38 (Set off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

37.4

Clawback

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

If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

37.5	Impaired Agent

If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, an Obligor or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent in accordance with Clause 37.1 (Payments to the Agent) may instead either:

pay that amount direct to the required recipient(s); or

ii)

if in its absolute discretion it considers that it is not reasonably practicable to pay that amount direct to the required recipient(s), pay that amount or the relevant part of that amount to an interest-bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank within the meaning of paragraph a) of the definition of "Acceptable Bank" and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Obligor or the Lender making the payment (the "Paying Party") and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents (the "Recipient Party" or "Recipient Parties").

In each case such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.

All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of the Recipient Party or the Recipient Parties pro rata to their respective entitlements.

A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 37.5 shall be discharged of the relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the trust account.

Promptly upon the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 33.13 (Replacement of the Agent), each Paying Party shall (other than to the extent that that Party has given an instruction pursuant to paragraph e) below) give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with any accrued interest) to the successor Agent for distribution to the relevant Recipient Party or Recipient Parties in accordance with Clause 37.2 (Distributions by the Agent).

A Paying Party shall, promptly upon request by a Recipient Party and to the extent:

132

that it has not given an instruction pursuant to paragraph d) above; and

ii)

that it has been provided with the necessary information by that Recipient Party,

give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the relevant amount (together with any accrued interest) to that Recipient Party.

37.6	Partial Payments

If the Agent receives a payment for application against amounts due under the Finance Documents that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under those Finance Documents, the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under those Finance Documents in the following order:

first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses;

ii)

secondly, in or towards payment to the Lenders pro rata of any amount owing to the Lenders under Clause 33.11 (Lenders' Indemnity to the Agent) including any amount resulting from the indemnity to the Agent and the Security Agent under Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Agent and the Security Agent);

iii)

thirdly, in or towards payment to the Lenders pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under those Finance Documents;

iv)

fourthly, in or towards payment to the Lenders pro rata of any principal which is due but unpaid under those Finance Documents; and

fifthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents.

The Agent shall, if so directed by all the Lenders, vary the order set out in Clause 37.6a)i) to a)v) above.

Clauses 37.6a) and 37.6b) above will override any appropriation made by an Obligor.

37.7	No Set off by Obligors

All payments to be made by an Obligor under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set off or counterclaim (except as otherwise provided in the Finance Documents).

37.8	Business Days

Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the original due date.

37.9	Payments on Demand

For the purposes of Clause 29.1 (Non-payment) and subject to the Agent's right to demand interest under Clause 8.3 (Default Interest), payments on demand shall be treated as paid when due if paid within three (3) Business Days of demand, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Finance Documents.

A repayment of all or part of the Loan or an Unpaid Sum and each payment of interest shall be made in Dollars on its due date.

Each payment in respect of the amount of any costs, expenses or Taxes or other losses shall be made in Dollars and, if they were incurred in a currency other than Dollars, the amount payable under the Finance Documents shall be the equivalent in Dollars of the relevant amount in such other currency on the date on which it was incurred.

37.11

Change of Currency

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then:

any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Agent (after consultation with the Borrower); and

ii)

any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent (acting reasonably).

If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Borrower) specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the London interbank market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

37.12

Disruption to Payment Systems Etc.

If either the Agent determines (in its discretion) that a Payment Disruption Event has occurred or the Agent is notified by the Borrower that a Payment Disruption Event has occurred:

the Agent may, and shall, upon instructions from the Majority Lenders, consult with the Borrower with a view to agreeing with the Borrower such changes to the operation or administration of the Facility as the Agent may deem necessary in the circumstances;

the Agent shall not be obliged to consult with the Borrower in relation to any changes mentioned in Clause 37.12a) above if, in its opinion, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances and, in any event, shall have no obligation to agree to such changes;

134

any such changes agreed upon by the Agent, acting upon instructions from the Majority Lenders, and the Borrower shall (whether or not it is finally determined that a Payment Disruption Event has occurred) be binding upon the Parties as an amendment to (or, as the case may be, waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents, notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 43 (Amendments and Grant of Waivers);

the Agent shall not be liable to the Finance Parties for failing to take any steps in respect of a Payment Disruption Event in the absence of specific instructions from the Majority Lenders;

the Agent shall notify the Finance Parties of all changes agreed pursuant to Clause 37.12e) above;

the Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever (including, without limitation, for negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take any actions pursuant to or in connection with, this Clause 37.12.

38.
