"Tax Deduction" means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document other than a FATCA Deduction.

(a) Each Obligor shall make all payments to be made by it under the Finance Documents without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

(b) The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that an Obligor must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower and that Obligor.

(c) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(d) A payment shall not be increased under paragraph (c) above if on the date on which the payment falls due the Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender (having been given notice of the documentation requested under Clause 10.7 11.7 (Lender Status) at least 30 Business Days prior to such payment date) complied with its obligations under Clause 10.7 11.7 (Lender Status).

(e) If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(b) Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

(i) with respect to any Tax assessed on a Secured Party:

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

(B) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Lender's Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Secured Party; or

(ii) to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 10.2 11.2 (Tax gross-up) or would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 10.2 11.2 (Tax gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because an exclusion in paragraph (d) of Clause 10.2 11.2 (Tax gross-up) applied, or relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; or

(iii) with respect to the Taxes in the nature of a branch profits tax imposed by Section 884(a) of the Code that is imposed by any jurisdiction described in paragraph (b)(i)(B) above.

(a) a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and

(b) that Creditor Party has obtained, retained and utilised that Tax Credit,

the Creditor Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor which that Creditor 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.

11.5 10.5Stamp taxes

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

11.6 10.6VAT

(a) All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to a Secured Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party to any Party under a Finance Document and such Secured Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such Secured Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Secured Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).

(b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party (the "Supplier") to any other Secured Party (the "Recipient") under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the "Relevant Party") is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(i) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant 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 Relevant 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 Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(c) Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part of it as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Secured Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d) Any reference in this Clause 10.6 11.6 (VAT) to any Party being required to account to a tax authority for VAT shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT

purposes, include a reference to another member of that group being required to so account to the relevant tax authority.

(e) In relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Secured Party, that Party must promptly provide such Secured Party with details of that Party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Secured Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

11.7 10.7Lender Status

(a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under a Finance Document shall deliver to the Agent and the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Agent or the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Agent or the Borrower (and which it is reasonable for the Lender to complete and execute) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Agent or the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation as prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Agent or the Borrower as will enable the Agent or the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(b) Any Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Agent and the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement or promptly thereafter (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable law or upon the request of the Agent or the Borrower), duly executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable, certifying that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding or establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax.

11.8 10.8FATCA Deduction

(a) Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(b) Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Borrower, the Agent and the other Secured Parties.

11.9 10.9FATCA Information

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

(iii) any duty of confidentiality.

(d) If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(g) If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the Agent by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) 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.

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

11.10 10.10Increased Costs

(i) any of the Lenders incurs a cost as a result of its performing its obligations under this Agreement and/or its making available its Commitment hereunder; or

(v) any of the Lenders suffers any decrease in its rate of return as a result of any changes in the requirements relating to capital ratios, monetary control ratios, the payment of special deposits, liquidity costs or other similar requirements affecting that Lender,

then the Borrower shall on demand pay to the Agent for the account of the relevant Lender or Lenders amounts sufficient to indemnify the relevant Lender or Lenders against, as the case may be, such cost, such increased cost (or such proportion of such increased cost as is in the reasonable opinion of the relevant Lender or Lenders attributable to the funding or maintaining of its or their Commitment(s) hereunder) or such liability.

The reasonable costs of mitigating the effect of any such change shall be borne by the Borrower save where such costs are of an internal administrative nature and are not incurred in dealings by any Lender with third parties.

Such prepayment shall, regardless of the date on which such prepayment is made, be made together with all of the amounts that SIMEST is entitled to charge, whether for taxes, costs, expenses, indemnities, penalties, losses or liabilities whatsoever, under and in accordance with the Interest Make-up Make-Up Agreement and Clause 20.2 21.2 (Breakage costs and SIMEST arrangements) but without any other penalty provided that the prepayment is made on the last day of an Interest Period and thirty-five (35) days prior written notice indicating the intended date of prepayment is given to the Agent and the SACE Agent. However, the following amounts shall be payable to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, or SIMEST, as the case may be, if any prepayment made pursuant to this Clause 16.2 17.2 (Voluntary prepayment) is not made on the last day of an Interest Period:

(i) if the Borrower elected a Floating Interest Rate pursuant to paragraph (a) of Clause 3.5, the difference (if positive), calculated by the Lenders and notified by them to the Agent, between the actual cost for the Lenders of the funding for the Loan and the rate of interest for the monies to be invested by the Lenders, applied to the amounts so prepaid for the period from the said prepayment until the last day of the Interest Period during which the prepayment occurs (if prepayment does not occur on the last day of that Interest Period), details of any such calculation being supplied to the Borrower by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders; or

(ii) if the Borrower elected a Fixed Interest Rate pursuant to paragraph (a) of Clause 3.5, the sum of charges (if any) imposed by SIMEST representing funding or breakage costs of the Italian Authorities as more specifically set out in Clause 20 21 (Indemnities).

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of the date on which a voluntary prepayment is made, such prepayment shall be paid together with all amounts payable in accordance with Clause 20.2 21.2 (Breakage costs and SIMEST arrangements) and if a voluntary prepayment is made other than on the last day of an Interest Period, the prepayment shall be paid together with such other amounts payable in accordance with Clauses 20.1 21.1 (Indemnities regarding borrowing and repayment of Loan) and 20.2 21.2 (Breakage costs and SIMEST arrangements).

(c) If the Borrower has selected the Fixed Interest Rate pursuant to paragraph (a) of Clause 3.5 (No later than thirty (30) days before the Intended Delivery Date), the SACE Agent shall give SIMEST thirty (30) days written notice of the intended date of prepayment.

(d) Any voluntary prepayment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 16.2 17.2 (Voluntary prepayment) and applied against the outstanding repayment instalments in the inverse order of their maturity, save that where there is an amount of a Deferral Tranche outstanding, any such prepayment shall first be applied against such Deferral Tranche in the inverse order of maturity, starting with the 2021 Deferral Tranche.

(e) There may be no more than two voluntary prepayments in part of the Loan made in each 12-month period beginning on the Delivery Date unless the relevant prepayment is made at the end of an Interest Period relating to the Loan or the relevant part of the Loan (as applicable).

17.3 16.3Mandatory prepayment – Sale and Total Loss

The Borrower shall be obliged to prepay the whole of the Loan if the Ship is sold or becomes a Total Loss:

(b) in the case of a Total Loss, on the earlier of the date falling 120 days after the Total Loss Date and the date of receipt by the Agent of the proceeds of insurance relating to such Total Loss.

17.4 16.4Mandatory prepayment – SACE Insurance Policy

(a) The Borrower shall be obliged to prepay the whole of the Loan if the SACE Insurance Policy is revoked, rescinded, cancelled, terminated, suspended or otherwise becomes unenforceable or ceases to be in full force and effect.

(b) In the event that any other event occurs or any other circumstances arise or develop which would have a material adverse effect on SACE's ability to perform its obligations under the SACE Insurance Policy, the Borrower and the Lenders shall, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, negotiate in good faith for a period of not less than 30 days with a view to agreeing such revised terms and conditions as the Lenders may require to enable the Lenders to maintain the entire Loan (and during such 30 day period, no Lender shall be obliged to make available to the Borrower their portion of the Loan to the extent such amounts have not already been drawn). In the event that following such negotiations the Borrower and the Lenders fail to agree on such revised terms, the Borrower shall be obliged to prepay, on demand by the Agent, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to the extent of the amount covered pursuant to the SACE Insurance Policy. If, during the period while negotiations are on-going pursuant to this paragraph (b) of Clause 16.4 17.4 (Mandatory prepayment – SACE Insurance Policy) the events described in paragraph (a) of Clause 16.4 17.4 (Mandatory prepayment – SACE Insurance Policy) should occur, the Borrower shall be obliged to prepay the Loan in full as required by paragraph (a) of Clause 16.4 17.4 (Mandatory prepayment – SACE Insurance Policy).

(b) if the Borrower has selected the Fixed Interest Rate in accordance with paragraph (a) of Clause 3.5 (No later than thirty (30) days before the Intended Delivery Date), all of the amounts that SIMEST is entitled to charge, whether for taxes, costs, expenses, indemnities, penalties, losses or liabilities whatsoever, under and in accordance with the Interest Make-up Make-Up Agreement, including without limitation, as a result of any prepayment of all or any part of the Loan under this Agreement (whether voluntary, mandatory, following acceleration of the Loan or otherwise), as a result of an Interest Make-Up Event or as a result of the Borrower deciding to switch from the Fixed Interest Rate to another interest rate after the Drawdown Date and/or an Interest Make-up Make-Up Event. Such amounts include, without limitation, (i) breakage costs, (ii) any amount due as a consequence of the close-out of any hedging arrangement entered into by SIMEST in relation to this Agreement, (iii) default interest and penalties (maggiorazioni) whenever applicable, and (iv) all amounts (if any) to be returned by the Agent to SIMEST under and pursuant to the Interest Make-Up Agreement; and

(c) any other costs whatsoever or howsoever arising under or in respect of the Interest Make-Up Agreement which are passed to the Agent,

and any such costs imposed by SIMEST shall be paid by the Borrower to SIMEST through the Agent.

For the purposes of this Clause 20.2 21.2 (Breakage costs and SIMEST arrangements) "Interest Make-Up Event" means the occurrence of any circumstances which result in the termination, cancellation, revocation, cessation or suspension (in each case, in whole or in part) of the Interest Make-Up Agreement or the Interest Make-Up Agreement otherwise ceases or may cease to be in full force and effect or the Agent notifies the Borrower that the Fixed Interest

Rate is not available for any reason, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Interest Make-Up Agreement.

21.3 20.3Miscellaneous indemnities

The Borrower shall fully indemnify each Secured Party severally on their respective demands in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which may be made or brought against or incurred by a Secured Party, in any country, as a result of or in connection with:

(a) any action taken, or omitted or neglected to be taken, under or in connection with any Finance Document by the Agent or any other Secured Party or by any receiver appointed under a Finance Document;

(b) any other Pertinent Matter,

other than claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are shown to have been directly and mainly caused by the dishonesty or wilful misconduct of the officers or employees of the Secured Party concerned.

Without prejudice to its generality, this Clause 20.3 21.3 (Miscellaneous indemnities) covers any claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which arise, or are asserted, under or in connection with any law relating to safety at sea, the ISM Code or any Environmental Laws or any Sanctions.

21.4 20.4Currency indemnity

If any sum due from an Obligor to a Secured Party under a Finance Document or under any order or judgment relating to a Finance Document has to be converted from the currency in which the Finance Document provided for the sum to be paid (the "Contractual Currency") into another currency (the "Payment Currency") for the purpose of:

(a) making or lodging any claim or proof against an Obligor, whether in its liquidation, any arrangement involving it or otherwise; or

(b) obtaining an order or judgment from any court or other tribunal; or

(c) enforcing any such order or judgment,

the Borrower shall indemnify the Secured Party concerned against the loss arising when the amount of the payment actually received by that Secured Party is converted at the available rate of exchange into the Contractual Currency.

In this Clause 20.4 21.4 (Currency indemnity) the "available rate of exchange" means the rate at which the Secured Party concerned is able at the opening of business (Paris time) on the Business Day after it receives the sum concerned to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency.

This Clause 20.4 21.4 (Currency indemnity) creates a separate liability of the Borrower which is distinct from its other liabilities under the Finance Documents and which shall not be merged in any judgment or order relating to those other liabilities.

21.5 20.5Certification of amounts

A notice which is signed by 2 officers of a Secured Party, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Secured Party under this Clause 20 21 (Indemnities) and which indicates (without necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of which the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall be prima facie evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due.

21.6 20.6Sums deemed due to a Lender

For the purposes of this Clause 20 21 (Indemnities), a sum payable by the Borrower to the Agent for distribution to a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender.

21.7 20.7SACE obligations

To the extent that this Clause 20 21 (Indemnities) imposes obligations or restrictions on a Secured Party, such obligations or restrictions shall not apply to SACE and SACE shall have no obligations hereunder nor be constrained by such restrictions.

22 21Illegality, etc.

22.1 21.1Illegality

Any solution agreed between the Agent and SIMEST at the end of the consultation period (which shall last for a period of ten (10) days from the service of such notice on SIMEST) will be binding among themselves and shall be notified by the Agent to each Obligor immediately thereafter (and in any case no later than ten (10) days following such decision).

(c) If at the end of the consultation procedure set out in paragraph (b) above, no solution is agreed between the Agent and SIMEST, the Agent must immediately notify the Lenders and the Obligors.

(b) On the Agent notifying the Borrower under paragraph (c) of Clause 21.2 22.2 (Notification of illegality), the Notifying Lender's Commitment shall terminate; and thereupon or, if later, on the date specified in the Notifying Lender's notice under Clause 21.1 22.1 (Illegality) as the date on which the notified event would become effective the Borrower shall prepay the Notifying Lender's Contribution and shall pay compensation to the Notifying Lender calculated in accordance with Clause 16.2 17.2 (Voluntary prepayment).

(c) The date for repayment or prepayment of a Lender's share in the Loan will be:

(i) the date specified by the Agent in the notification under paragraph (b) above; or

(ii) in case the Interest Make-Up Agreement has ceased to be in force and effect or the Fixed Interest Rate has not been selected pursuant to paragraph (a) of Clause 3.5 (No later than thirty (30) days before the Intended Delivery Date), the last day of the current Interest Period for the Loan or, if earlier, the date specified by the Lender in the notification under paragraph (a) above and which must not be earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period allowed by law.

22.4 21.4Mitigation

(a) Each Secured Party shall, in consultation with the Borrower, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which would result in any amount becoming payable under or pursuant to, or cancelled pursuant to Clause 21 22 (Illegality, etc.) including (but not limited to) transferring its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents to another Affiliate or Facility Office.

(b) Paragraph (a) above does not in any way limit the obligations of any Obligor under the Finance Documents.

23.1 22.1Application of credit balances

Each Creditor Party may without prior notice:

(a) apply any balance (whether or not then due) which at any time stands to the credit of any account in the name of the Borrower at any office in any country of that Creditor Party in or towards satisfaction of any sum then due from the Borrower to that Creditor Party under any of the Finance Documents; and

(b) for that purpose:

(i) break, or alter the maturity of, all or any part of a deposit of the Borrower;

23.3 22.3Sums deemed due to a Lender

For the purposes of this Clause 22 23 (Set-Off), a sum payable by the Borrower to the Agent for distribution to, or for the account of, a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender; and each Lender's proportion of a sum so payable for distribution to, or for the account of, the Lenders shall be treated as a sum due to such Lender.

23.4 22.4No Security Interest

This Clause 22 23 (Set-Off) gives the Creditor Parties a contractual right of set-off only, and does not create any equitable charge or other Security Interest over any credit balance of the Borrower.

24 23Changes to the Lenders

24.1 23.1Transfer by a Lender

Subject to Clause 23.5 24.5 (No transfer without Transfer Certificate), Clause 23.17 24.17 (Assignment or transfer to SACE) and Clause 23.14 24.14 (Change of Facility Office), a Lender (the "Transferor Lender") may at any time provided they have obtained the prior written consent of the Italian Authorities cause:

(a) its rights in respect of all or part of its Contribution; or

(b) its obligations in respect of all or part of its Commitment; or

(c) a combination of (a) and (b),

to be (in the case of its rights) transferred to, or (in the case of its obligations) assumed by, in whole or in part any of its Affiliates or another bank or financial institution or 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 (a "Transferee Lender") by delivering to the Agent a completed certificate in the form set out in Schedule 4 (Form of Transfer Certificate) with any modifications approved or required by the Agent (a "Transfer Certificate") executed by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender.

However any rights and obligations of the Transferor Lender in its capacity as Agent or Security Trustee will have to be dealt with separately in accordance with the provisions of Clauses 25 26 (Role of the Agent and the Joint Mandated Lead Arrangers) and 26 27 (The Security Trustee) respectively.

24.2 23.2Conditions of assignment or transfer

(a) The consent of the Borrower is required at all times (subject to the provisions of Clauses 23.5 24.5 (No transfer without Transfer Certificate) and 23.17 24.17 (Assignment or transfer to SACE)) for an assignment or transfer by a Lender (the "Existing Lender"), unless (i) there is an Event of Default or (ii) the assignment or transfer is to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender.

(b) The consent of the Borrower to an assignment or transfer must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Borrower will be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the Existing Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by that Borrower within that time.

(c) The assignment or transfer must be with respect to a minimum Commitment of [*] Dollars ($[*]) or, if less, the Existing Lender's full Commitment.

(b) on behalf of the Transferee Lender, send to the Borrower and each Obligor letters or emails notifying them of the Transfer Certificate and attaching a copy of it; and

(c) send to the Transferee Lender copies of the letters or emails sent under paragraph (b) above,

24.4 23.4Effective Date of Transfer Certificate

A Transfer Certificate becomes effective on the date, if any, specified in the Transfer Certificate as its effective date, provided that it is signed by the Agent under Clause 23.3 24.3 (Transfer Certificate, delivery and notification) on or before that date.

24.5 23.5No transfer without Transfer Certificate

Except as provided in Clause 23.16 24.16 (Security over Lenders' rights), no assignment or transfer of any right or obligation of a Lender under any Finance Document is binding on, or effective in relation to, the Borrower, any Obligor, the Agent or the Security Trustee unless it is effected, evidenced or perfected by a Transfer Certificate.

24.6 23.6Lender re-organisation; waiver of Transfer Certificate

However, if a Lender enters into any merger, de-merger or other reorganisation as a result of which all its rights or obligations vest in another person (the "successor"), the Agent may, if it sees fit, by notice to the successor and the Borrower and the Security Trustee waive the need for the execution and delivery of a Transfer Certificate; and, upon service of the Agent's notice, the successor shall become a Lender with the same Commitment and Contribution as were held by the predecessor Lender.

24.7 23.7Effect of Transfer Certificate

A Transfer Certificate takes effect in accordance with English law as follows:

(a) to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate, all rights and interests (present, future or contingent) which the Transferor Lender has under or by virtue of the Finance Documents are assigned to the Transferee Lender absolutely, free of any defects in the Transferor Lender's title and of any rights or equities which the Borrower or any Obligor had against the Transferor Lender;

(b) the Transferor Lender's Commitment is discharged to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate;

(c) the Transferee Lender becomes a Lender with the Contribution previously held by the Transferor Lender and a Commitment of an amount specified in the Transfer Certificate;

(d) the Transferee Lender becomes bound by all the provisions of the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally, including those about pro-rata sharing and the exclusion of liability on the part of, and the indemnification of, the Agent and the Security Trustee and, to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes bound by those provisions (other than those relating to exclusion of liability), the Transferor Lender ceases to be bound by them;

(e) any part of the Loan which the Transferee Lender advances after the Transfer Certificate's effective date ranks in point of priority and security in the same way as it would have ranked had it been advanced by the transferor, assuming that any defects in the transferor's title and any rights or equities of the Borrower or any Obligor against the Transferor Lender had not existed;

(f) the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to all the rights under the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally, including but not limited to those relating to the Majority Lenders and those under Clause 6.9 7.9 (Market Disruption) and Clause 9 10 (Fees), and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be entitled to them; and

(g) in respect of any breach of a warranty, undertaking, condition or other provision of a Finance Document or any misrepresentation made in or in connection with a Finance Document, the

Transferee Lender shall be entitled to recover damages by reference to the loss incurred by it as a result of the breach or misrepresentation, irrespective of whether the original Lender would have incurred a loss of that kind or amount.

The rights and equities of the Borrower or any Obligor referred to above include, but are not limited to, any right of set off and any other kind of cross-claim.

24.8 23.8Maintenance of register of Lenders

During the Security Period the Agent shall maintain a register in which it shall record the name, Commitment, Contribution and administrative details (including the Facility Office) from time to time of each Lender holding a Transfer Certificate and the effective date (in accordance with Clause 23.4 24.4 (Effective Date of Transfer Certificate)) of the Transfer Certificate; and the Agent shall make the register available for inspection by any Lender, the Security Trustee and the Borrower during normal banking hours, subject to receiving at least 3 Business Days' prior notice.

24.9 23.9Reliance on register of Lenders

The entries on that register shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive in determining the identities of the Lenders and the amounts of their Commitments and Contributions and the effective dates of Transfer Certificates and may be relied upon by the Agent and the other parties to the Finance Documents for all purposes relating to the Finance Documents.

24.10 23.10Authorisation of Agent to sign Transfer Certificates

24.13 23.13Disclosure of information

A Lender may disclose to a potential Transferee Lender or sub participant any information which the Lender has received in relation to the Borrower, any Obligor or their affairs under or in connection with any Finance Document, unless the information is clearly of a confidential nature.

24.14 23.14Change of Facility Office

Subject to the prior written consent of SACE, a Lender may change its Facility Office by giving notice to the Agent and the change shall become effective on the later of:

(a) the date on which the Agent receives the notice; and

(b) the date, if any, specified in the notice as the date on which the change will come into effect, provided that if (i) a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office, and (ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment or an increased payment to the new Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 10 11 (Taxes, Increased Costs, Costs and Related Charges), 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.

24.15 23.15Notification
