10.8.2: The Lessor shall, at the request of PPC, consult with PPC, for a period not exceeding thirty (30) days, in good faith if PPC or any person claiming through PPC requests permission to pursue any claim in the name of the Lessor or any other member of the Lessor's Group, provided that the Lessor shall be under no obligation and have no liability other than to the extent of its agreement to hold discussions with PPC as set out above.

10.9 Sale of Haewene Brim Equipment following Total Loss

If the insurers of the Haewene Brim (to the extent the same includes the Haewene Brim Equipment, in whole or part) have satisfied or admitted in full their obligations under the Insurances and have expressly waived any rights they may have, or would or might require, in the Haewene Brim (including the Surviving Parts), PPC shall pursuant to clause 19.2 (Sale of the Haewene Brim Equipment) as soon as practicable after the date of Total Loss of the Haewene Brim endeavour to arrange a sale of the Surviving Parts.

12.18 Copy of this Agreement

Carry a true and complete copy of this Agreement with the Haewene Brim's papers and on demand exhibit the same to any person having business with the Haewene Brim which might reasonably be considered to give rise to any Lien other than any Permitted Lien.

Implement and maintain the required systems to comply with the requirements of the Verification Scheme and the Safety Critical Elements and provide to the Lessor certified copies of all reports and recommendations of the Safety Inspector and/or the Health and Safety Executive from time to time issued in connection with the Verification Scheme which are not implemented by the time stipulated or in respect of the compliance or otherwise with any applicable statutes, regulations and operating codes from time to time in force regarding the safe operation, maintenance, management and integrity of the Haewene Brim (or any part thereof) or otherwise in connection with the Operating Safety Case.

12.20 Safety and operation

PPC shall, take such steps as are reasonably practicable to ensure that the Haewene Brim Equipment and all constituent parts thereof will be safe and without risk to health when in use and that the Haewene Brim Equipment is not operated beyond its specified or recommended limits or capacity. To this end and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing PPC shall ensure that any defects in the Haewene Brim Equipment which could be or cause a danger to safety and a risk to health are repaired and made good so far as is reasonably practicable in accordance with PPC's normal practices. For this purpose PPC shall cause the Haewene Brim Equipment to be inspected regularly and its various systems tested provided that such inspection and testing will only be carried out in accordance with and at the interval specified in PPC's maintenance schedule for the Haewene Brim and the Verification Scheme or otherwise at times and in such manner as a prudent operator of floating production vessels of a similar type to the Haewene Brim and engaged in a similar trade would normally expect to carry out such inspection and testing. PPC shall also take all reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safety measures are adopted and all provisions of the Operating Safety Case and all applicable laws, codes and regulations relating to offshore installations are complied with.

12.21 Operational control

Within the operational framework constituted by the above covenants, the Lessor acknowledges that, as between itself and PPC, PPC shall have the full operational control of the Haewene Brim Equipment, but without prejudice to the right of the Lessor following the delivery by it of a Termination Notice (but subject always to the provisions of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities) to repossess the Haewene Brim Equipment.

12.25.1: arrested, seized, taken into custody or otherwise detained by any court or other tribunal or by any Government Entity (other than by a Compulsory Acquisition or any requisition for hire or any seizure, confiscation or forfeiture of the Haewene Brim by a Government Entity otherwise than in the exercise of any enforcement or security rights or by reason of a Lessor's Lien); or
12.25.2: subjected to distress or other legal proceedings by reason of any process, claim, the exercise of any rights conferred by a Lien or by any other action whatsoever (other than by reason of a Lessor's Lien),

PPC shall procure the release of the Haewene Brim from such arrest, seizure or detention forthwith upon receiving notice thereof by providing bail or otherwise as the circumstances may require. The Lessor acknowledges and accepts that PPC shall, unless and until a Relevant Event shall have occurred which is continuing, have the sole right to contest any litigation, arbitration or administrative proceedings in respect of the foregoing and the Lessor shall, upon receipt of the written request from PPC and being secured to the Lessor's satisfaction against its costs and expenses of so doing, not unreasonably refuse to render all necessary assistance as PPC may reasonably require in connection therewith, provided however that the Lessor may, in its absolute discretion, refuse to permit its name or the name of the Bank to be used in any manner in any such litigation, arbitration or other proceedings.

"NOTICE OF LEASE"

"This floating production storage and offloading facility (the "FPSO") is registered in the name of Bluewater (Haewene Brim) N.V. ("BHB"). The Haewene Brim Hull(the "Hull") is the property of BHB and is subject to a lease agreement in favour of Xxxxxx Production Company Limited ("PPC"). The topsides processing plant and Haewene Brim Equipment (the "Haewene Brim Equipment") attached to the Haewene Brim Hull is the property of Xxxx Xxxxxx Leasing (No. 4) Limited (the "Lessor") and is subject to a head lease granted by the Lessor in favour of PPC.

Neither PPC, nor any manager, nor the O.I.M. nor any servant or agent of any thereof have any authority whatsoever to contract on behalf of BHB or the Lessor or to pledge the credit of BHB or the Lessor or the involvement of BHB or the Lessor in any liability whatsoever and none of PPC, any manager, the O.I.M. of the FPSO and any other person has any right, power or authority to create, incur or permit to be imposed upon this FPSO any Lien whatsoever except for general average, crew's wages or salvage"

12.27.2: PPC undertakes not to remove or cover up the notice specified in clause 12.27.1 and will not place or permit to be placed any other notice (affecting the ownership of the Haewene Brim or the Haewene Brim Equipment or otherwise relating to the rights of BHB, the General Security Trustee or the Beneficiaries and dealing with the rights of any person other than BHB, the General Security Trustee and the Beneficiaries) in or on the Haewene Brim or any part thereof save as is expressly permitted or required by the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Lessor.

13 Movement of Haewene Brim

13.1 Approved Location

PPC shall procure that after Delivery, the Haewene Brim is not moved from the Approved Location where it is at any time located without the Lessor's consent, which consent the Lessor may withhold in its absolute discretion, subject to the further provisions of this clause 13 and to clause 22.1.3.

13.2 Relevant Event and consultation

If a Relevant Event has occurred which is continuing, PPC shall not be entitled to request the consent of the Lessor under clause 13.1, but the Lessor is prepared (without commitment and subject always to its right under clause 13.1 to withhold its consent) to consult with the Credit Security Trustee for a period not exceeding forty five (45) days regarding the movement of the Haewene Brim.

13.3 Relocation on UK Continental Shelf

PPC shall be entitled at any time on one (1) month's notice to request that the Lessor consent to a relocation of the Haewene Brim to a specified location on the UK Continental Shelf. The Lessor shall, subject to the Lessor, upon advice from relevant legal, insurance and other advisers, being satisfied in its absolute discretion that its potential liability for pollution risks would not be greater than the Current Risk Position (as regards either quantum or likelihood of occurrence), consent to such request and shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify PPC of its decision. For the avoidance of doubt, the Lessor shall in no circumstances be deemed to grant any consent which should only be effective upon written notification of the same being given by the Lessor to PPC.

13.4 Relocation on Dutch, Danish, or Norwegian Continental Shelf

Subject to the Lessor obtaining satisfactory advice from its Insurance Advisers and legal advisers in the applicable jurisdictions regarding the then Current Risk Position, PPC shall be entitled at any time by written notice to request that the Lessor consent to a relocation of the Haewene Brim to a specified location on the Dutch, Danish or Norwegian Continental Shelf. The Lessor shall have full liberty to withhold its consent to such request, without being obliged to give reasons therefor, but agrees that it will give reasonable consideration to any such request and PPC acknowledges that the Lessor shall be deemed to have given reasonable consideration to that request if it seeks internal approval of that request, whether such internal approval is granted or withheld.

13.5 Lessor's confirmation

Without prejudice to the provisions of clause 13.3, upon receipt of advice from its legal and insurance advisers and the result of any internal review process the Lessor will, as soon as reasonably practicable, issue a written confirmation to PPC confirming whether or not the Haewene Brim may be moved from the Approved Location to the new location. From the date of that confirmation if positive, or other consent of the Lessor pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this clause 13, the new location shall be an Approved Location for the purposes of this Agreement to the exclusion of the original location once the Haewene Brim has been moved from that original location.

13.6 PPC's obligations

In relation to any movement of the Haewene Brim permitted under this clause 13:

13.6.1: PPC shall ensure that the Lessor is kept fully informed of the progress of such relocation, including any docking of the Haewene Brim, her transit to the new Approved Location and her mooring, hook-up, commissioning and commencement of production at that new Approved Location;
13.6.2: PPC shall ensure that the Haewene Brim is only moved if there are no hydrocarbons (other than residue) in the Haewene Brim Equipment or her cargo tanks; and
13.6.3: such consent shall be a consent to the Haewene Brim being docked in the course of her transit to the new Approved Location.

13.7 Costs and expenses of Lessor

All costs incurred by the Lessor in considering any such request, including but not limited to the costs and expenses of any external advisers considered by the Lessor to be relevant, shall be paid by PPC on demand whether or not the Lessor's consent to any relocation is given, provided that (a) no such costs shall be incurred without the prior consent of PPC, but (b) PPC acknowledges that without obtaining such advice as the Lessor considers appropriate at PPC's cost, the Lessor is unlikely to grant the consent requested.

13.8 Additional security

If the Lessor is prepared to consent to any relocation of the Haewene Brim upon terms that one or more of the Lease Documents be amended or that additional security be provided for any increase in the Lessor's potential exposure as determined, upon advice from the relevant legal and insurance advisers, by the Lessor (i) to any third party liability or (ii) under the Lease Documents, in each case by virtue of such relocation, PPC shall provide or execute and deliver to the Lessor or, as the case may be, procure that there are provided or executed and delivered to the Lessor such additional security or such amending documents in such form and content as the Lessor may require. Any cost (including legal costs and expenses and any Irrecoverable VAT thereon) incurred by the Lessor in the preparation, negotiation and execution of any such amending documents shall be paid to the Lessor by PPC on demand.

13.9 Compelled Event

Without prejudice to PPC's other rights under this clause 13, PPC may move the Haewene Brim from the Approved Location where the Haewene Brim is then located, without having obtained the prior written consent of the Lessor under the foregoing provisions of this clause 13 in order to comply with the requirements of the Health and Safety Executive, or any applicable Government Entity or if, in PPC's opinion, the safety of the Haewene Brim or the crew of the Haewene Brim would otherwise be endangered (such requirement for the relocation of the Haewene Brim being referred to in this clause 13.9 as a "Compelled Event"). For the avoidance of doubt such relocation of the Haewene Brim by reason of a Compelled Event shall (unless the Lessor's prior written consent to the movement of the Haewene Brim has been obtained, which consent the Lessor shall be at full liberty to withhold) constitute an event falling within clause 21 (Termination provisions) and, in any event, PPC shall procure that if the Lessor's exposure (i) to any third party or (ii) under the Lease Documents shall have increased, in each case by virtue of such relocation, PPC shall provide or execute and deliver to the Lessor, or, as the case may be, procure that there are provided or executed and delivered to the Lessor such additional security or such amending documents in such form as the Lessor may require. Any costs (including legal costs and expenses and any Irrecoverable VAT thereon) incurred by the Lessor in considering any such relocation or in the preparation, negotiation and execution of any such amending documents shall be paid to the Lessor by PPC on demand.

14 Inspection

14.1: Without imposing or implying any obligation on the Lessor, the Lessor may inspect, and may instruct an agent on its behalf, at any reasonable time upon reasonable notice, to inspect the Haewene Brim Equipment. It is, however, acknowledged by the Lessor and PPC that as the Haewene Brim will be continually moored offshore that it is the Lessor's present intention that such inspection right would be exercised only (a) if the Lessor has actual notice of a Termination Event or (b) if the Haewene Brim is, for any reason, brought into dock. PPC shall (i) procure that all necessary consents from any other Xxxxxxx Energy Group Member are obtained and (ii) shall, on behalf of the Lessor, use all reasonable efforts to obtain any other necessary consents in order to facilitate any inspection pursuant to this clause 14.
14.2: The costs of such inspection shall be borne by:
14.2.1: the Lessor if, at the time of the inspection, no Relevant Event has occurred which is continuing and such inspection reveals that all provisions of this Agreement with regard to the operation and maintenance of the Haewene Brim Equipment are being substantially complied with; and
14.2.2: PPC in each other case.
14.3: Provided no Relevant Event has occurred which is continuing, the Lessor agrees that no such inspection shall interfere with the operation, maintenance or repair of the Haewene Brim Equipment.
14.4: The Lessor also agrees that it or its agent shall comply with all safety, fire and operational regulations and instructions which may be given on the occasion of any inspection.

15 Risk

PPC shall bear all risks howsoever arising whether of navigation of the Haewene Brim or the operation or maintenance of the Haewene Brim Equipment (or any part thereof) or otherwise. PPC agrees that the Lessor shall not be liable for any liability, claim, loss, damage or expense of any kind or nature caused directly or indirectly by the Haewene Brim Equipment or any part thereof or any inadequacy thereof for any purpose or any deficiency or defect therein or the use or performance thereof or any repairs or servicing thereto or any delay in providing or failure to provide any thereof or any interruption or loss of service or use thereof or any loss of business or other consequential damage or any damage whatsoever and howsoever caused or any other matter which but for this provision might operate to frustrate this Agreement, save for direct losses and expenses suffered or incurred by PPC (including any losses and expenses against which PPC is obliged to indemnify any third party irrespective of any limit on the right of recourse by that third party to PPC or its assets) or (without double counting) BHB which result solely from a breach by the Lessor of its express and specific obligations under the Lease Documents to which it is party.

16 Requisition for hire

16.1: If the Haewene Brim Equipment or the Haewene Brim is requisitioned for hire by any Government Entity during the Lease Period, then unless and until such requisition results in the Haewene Brim Equipment or the Haewene Brim becoming a Total Loss and all sums due pursuant to clause 10.1.2 (Total Loss) shall have been paid the leasing of the Haewene Brim Equipment shall continue in full force and effect for the remainder of the Lease Period and PPC shall remain fully responsible for the due compliance with all its obligations under this Agreement other than in respect of provisions which PPC is precluded from performing as a result of such requisition.

16.3: PPC shall be under no liability to the Lessor in respect of any change in the structure, state and condition of the Haewene Brim Equipment in so far as such change is due to the manner in which the Haewene Brim Equipment has been used or treated or to the events that have occurred during the period of requisition. Nonetheless, subject to the rights of the General Security Trustee or any Beneficiary pursuant to the General Assignment, PPC shall (subject to the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities) ensure that any compensation payable by the requisitioning authority in respect of such change shall, unless the Lessor otherwise agrees in writing:

16.4.3: thirdly provided that the Haewene Brim Equipment has at such time (so far as is possible) been restored to the condition which it was in at the time the requisition took place, in payment by the Lessor to PPC or (as the case may be) retention by PPC for its own account of any surplus as if it were requisition for hire.
16.5: Any such compensation as is referred to in clause 16.3 which relates to any period after the end of the Lease Period shall, unless the Lessor otherwise agrees in writing and subject always to the terms of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities, be applied:

All salvage and towage and all proceeds from derelicts shall, subject to the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities and the Lessor's prior right to retain therefrom any sums which may be due from PPC to the Lessor under this Agreement be for PPC's benefit and the cost of repairing damage occasioned thereby shall be borne by PPC.

18 Title and Liens

18.1 Title

During the Lease Period the Haewene Brim Equipment shall at all times be the property of and belong to the Lessor. Nothing in the Lease Documents shall have the effect of or be deemed to have the effect of passing title or beneficial ownership of the Haewene Brim Equipment or any part thereof to PPC, BHB or the applicable Field Operator. For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly agreed that none of PPC, BHB or Enterprise shall, as against the Lessor, have an option or right to acquire title to or any proprietary right or interest in or to all or any of the Haewene Brim Equipment, otherwise than as regulated by the terms of the Lessor's Quiet Enjoyment Letter.

In that event, PPC and the Lessor shall each appoint surveyors to be present at such survey and the surveyors present shall determine the condition of the Haewene Brim Equipment and shall state the repairs or work necessary to place the Haewene Brim Equipment at the date of re-delivery in the structure, state and condition required to demonstrate compliance by PPC with the repair and maintenance covenants contained in this Agreement. If the said surveyors disagree they shall refer the matter to a senior surveyor of the Classification Society whose decision shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. All reasonable costs occasioned by any such survey including the costs of the said surveyors appointed by PPC and the Lessor and, if appointed, the costs of the senior surveyor of the Classification Society shall be payable by PPC, but if the Haewene Brim Equipment is found by such senior surveyor to be in the condition provided for in this Agreement, fair wear and tear alone and changes and alterations properly made by PPC as permitted under this Agreement excepted, such reasonable costs shall be payable by the Lessor.

In order to assist PPC in reorganising the security arrangements in these circumstances, the Lessor hereby agrees that during the Primary Period only and for so long as no Termination Event has occurred which is continuing, the moneys payable under the Initial Letter of Credit (or under any Supplemental Letter of Credit or Replacement Letter of Credit if such circumstances may arise thereunder) in such exceptional circumstances (the "Enforced Payment") shall be paid to the Contingency Account which shall earn interest at LIBID from the date of such deposit until the next Adjustment Date and thereafter from Adjustment Date to Adjustment Date and which shall, subject to clause 22.3.3, constitute acceptable Additional Security for a period (the "Holding Period") ending on the first Adjustment Date falling at least twenty (20) Business Days after the date upon which the Enforced Payment is credited to the Contingency Account.
22.3.3: If an Enforced Payment is made into the Contingency Account at any time, PPC shall on an Adjustment Date during the Holding Period, provide to the Lessor either a Letter of Credit or Additional Security (other than cash) which has, in either case, a Value for the Adjustment Date at least equal to the Termination Requirement for that Adjustment Date. The Lessor agrees that it will release moneys standing to the credit of the Contingency Account (provided that no Termination Event has occurred which is continuing and less any Broken Funding Costs) against the provision of such Additional Security acceptable to the Lessor and shall give such instructions as shall be required in order to permit such release.

22.4 Letters of credit

The Lessor, PPC and Bluewater Energy hereby agree that without prejudice to clause 22.5, the Lessor shall, no later than the third Business Day (unless otherwise agreed) after receipt of notice from PPC of the intended Delivery Date produce a New Schedule 2 and Bluewater Energy shall procure that an irrevocable standby letter of credit shall be issued by the L/C Bank in favour of the Lessor by 11.00 am (London time) on the Delivery Date. That letter of credit shall be for the Initial L/C Amount and shall be in the form of the letter of credit set out in Schedule 8 hereto or in such other form and upon such terms as the Lessor may agree in its absolute discretion.

22.5 Substitution of New Schedule 2

The Lessor, PPC and Bluewater Energy hereby agree that within twenty-eight (28) days (or such lesser period as the Lessor shall determine) after any of:

22.5.1: the first day of a Deposit Period (as defined in the First Deposit Deed); or
22.5.2: the determination by the Lessor that any of the Assumptions or, as the case may be, the Termination Assumptions shall not be correct, such that the schedule 2 which then applies is incorrect; or
22.5.3: a payment by the L/C Bank or any Supplemental L/C Bank or any Replacement L/C Bank to the Lessor pursuant to the Letter of Credit or any Supplemental Letter of Credit or any Replacement Letter of Credit; or
22.5.4: the occurrence of any event which entitles any Credit Support Party to make any withholding or deduction on account of Taxes or any illegality which relieves that Credit Support Party from making any payment under the document or documents constituting or evidencing the relevant security or Additional Security; or
22.5.5: the occurrence of an Other Termination Date; or

22.5.6: the provision of any Additional Security; or
22.5.7: the provision of a valuation obtained pursuant to clause 11.2.1 which demonstrates that the Value of the Second Priority Security is less than the Minimum Second Priority Security Amount;
22.5.8: the entry into of a replacement Field Contract or the provision of a valuation of the Assets demonstrating that the Value of the Second Priority Security is restored to the Minimum Second Priority Security Requirement as at the applicable time which entitles PPC to exercise its rights under clause 22.6.4 to request the release of the Additional Security provided pursuant to clause 22.6.2;
22.5.9: the Acceleration Date; or
22.5.10: any other change which would, in the Lessor's opinion affect the calculations inherent in schedule 2; or
22.5.11: the making of an Enforced Payment by any L/C Bank,

the Lessor shall produce a New Schedule 2 to this Agreement which shall (save in the case of manifest error) be substituted by the Lessor for the schedule 2 which applied immediately prior to such substitution. Each New Schedule 2 shall, until itself substituted, constitute schedule 2 to this Agreement and references to schedule 2 in this Agreement shall be construed accordingly.

22.6 Increase of Termination Requirement

22.6.1: If (a) the Enterprise Contract is terminated or expires and while no replacement charter with a replacement Field Operator in each case approved by the Lessor in accordance with clause 21.1.16 is in place or (b) the aggregate of the Value of the Second Priority Security and any Additional Security then held by the Lessor for the Minimum Second Priority Security Amount falls below the Minimum Second Priority Security Requirement at any time then the Maximum Unsecured Strip Liability Amount shall thenceforth be treated as zero and the Lessor shall recalculate its security requirements and produce a New Schedule 2 and shall notify PPC and Bluewater Energy in writing of such recalculated requirements.
22.6.2: Within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a New Schedule 2 from the Lessor, PPC and Bluewater Energy shall procure that the Letter of Credit be increased, or a Replacement Letter of Credit or a Supplemental Letter of Credit be issued or other Additional Security is provided to the Lessor such that the Value of the Letter of Credit and any Additional Security as at such date is at least equal to the aggregate of (i) the SLV as at the applicable date as multiplied by the Agreed Percentage and (ii) the Actual L/C Balance as at that date multiplied by one hundred percent. (100%) of the applicable WHT Rate as at that date.
22.6.3: Where following the production of a New Schedule 2 the Lessor determines that there is a Security Excess PPC may (subject to the provision of any further New Schedule 2) on the Deposit Date following the delivery of any New Schedule 2 showing such Security Excess to PPC procure that the Value of any Letter of Credit then held by the Lessor is amended (on terms approved by the Lessor), with effect from that Deposit Date, by such sum as the Lessor shall notify to PPC and to the relevant L/C Bank so that the Lessor shall be satisfied that the Security Value for any date up to and including the Acceleration Date shall be at least equal to the sum of the SLV for that date multiplied by the Agreed Percentage.

22.6.4: If (a) following the termination or expiry of the Enterprise Contract, a replacement Field Contract is entered into with a replacement Field Operator within two years of the anniversary of the termination or expiry of the Enterprise Contract, or (b) the Lessor receives a valuation of the Assets from the Approved Valuer together with a revised certificate from PPC and endorsed by the Facility Agent setting out all the Available Credit at such time evidencing that the Value of the Second Priority Security is restored to the Minimum Second Priority Security Requirement at the applicable time, or (c) the WHT Rate is reduced the Lessor agrees that, provided no Termination Event has occurred which is continuing at the applicable time as soon as reasonably practicable upon receipt of a written request from PPC together with, in the case of (a) above a copy of the replacement Field Operator Contract in the approved form together with notice that the same has become effective and, in the case of (b) above, the valuation and certificate referred to therein and, in thew case of (c) above, evidence of the then current WHT Rate, it will release the Additional Security provided in accordance with clause 22.6.2.

23 Recourse and release

23.1 Release

The parties hereto agree that the Lessor shall have no right of recourse against PPC or its assets or against Bluewater Energy or its assets (other than to any of the First Account, the Second Account or the Holding Account or the Contingency Account in accordance with the terms of the First Deposit Deed, the Second Deposit Deed and the Holding Account Deed and the Contingency Account Deed respectively and any moneys standing to the credit of any such account (the "Account Security")) and, subject always to clause 23.6 for the purpose of determining the amounts set out in (a) and (b) below, PPC and Bluewater Energy and their respective assets (excluding for this purpose the Account Security) shall be released and relieved from the obligation to pay or otherwise discharge the obligation to pay:

(a): each instalment of Annual Amount (being each of the amounts set out in the column headed "Rentals" in the Original Cash Flow Report), other than the instalment of Rent due on the first Quarter Date falling after the Commencement Date to the extent of an amount equal to the Value (calculated for the relevant Rent Payment Date) of the Rent Security then held by the Lessor (the "Rent Limit"); and
(b): the Termination Rent, to the extent of an amount equal to the Value (calculated for the relevant Termination Payment Date) of the Termination Security then held by the Lessor (the "Termination Limit"),

23.2 Full recourse

Save insofar as the Lessor has agreed to limit its rights of recourse against PPC and Bluewater Energy and their respective assets (other then the Account Security) under clause 23.1 above and to release and relieve PPC and Bluewater Energy and their respective assets (other than the Account Security) from their specific payment obligations referred to in clause 23.1 above, the Lessor shall have full recourse against each of PPC and Bluewater Energy and their respective assets for all of the other obligations of each of PPC and Bluewater Energy under this Agreement and the other Lease Documents. Accordingly and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that the amount of any Rent exceeds the Rent Limit or the amount of any Termination Rent exceeds the Termination Limit each of PPC and Bluewater Energy shall be obliged to make payment of the relevant excess in full and the Lessor shall have full recourse to each of PPC and Bluewater Energy and to their respective assets to the extent that such payment is not made.

23.3 Notice of Restricted Access

The Lessor shall, upon becoming aware of the same, give written notice to both PPC and Bluewater Energy that there is Restricted Access to the moneys standing to the credit of either of the First Account or the Second Account and the Lessor shall take no action (other than the delivery of any relevant notices or demands) against either PPC or Bluewater Energy or their respective assets (other than the moneys standing to the credit of the First Account or the Second Account) for a period (the "Moratorium") of five (5) Business Days thereafter to recover any amounts which would, but for such Restricted Access, be payable pursuant to Released Obligations. If during the Moratorium either PPC or Bluewater Energy (at their own cost and expense) have obtained and delivered to the Lessor a written opinion from English legal counsel (such counsel being reasonably acceptable to the Lessor) that there is a reasonable prospect of successfully obtaining an order of the High Court in London to effect a release of the moneys which are subject to such Restricted Access, the Moratorium shall be extended for a further period of five (5) Business Days, but, subject to the further provisions of this clause 23.3, will then end. If during the Moratorium there ceases to be Restricted Access to the relevant moneys, sub-paragraph (cc) of paragraph (c) of the definition of "Value" shall cease to apply thereto.

23.4 Application to High Court

If counsel's opinion as specified in clause 23.3 is obtained and delivered to the Lessor within the time specified, the Lessor shall, upon its being secured to its satisfaction against any costs, expenses, losses and liabilities which may be suffered or incurred by the Lessor so doing, give to Bluewater Energy such assistance as may be reasonably requested for the purpose of making an application to the High Court in London for an order as contemplated in clause 23.3, including (if the Lessor so agrees in its absolute discretion) the use of the Lessor's name in making such application.

23.5 Minimum Credit Rating

If (A) at any time the Credit Rating of an LC Bank is less than the Minimum Credit Rating or (B) if the Credit Rating of an LC Bank is equal to the Minimum Credit Rating for either Xxxxx'x or S&P or, where such credit rating agencies no longer exist, credit ratings of equivalent prime credit rating agencies acceptable to the Lessor ("alternative rating agencies") but that LC Bank is placed on credit watch with negative implications by either Xxxxx'x or S&P or, as the case may be, alternative rating agencies, or (C) if at any time an LC Bank is not or ceases to be rated by either Xxxxx'x or S&P or, as the case may be, alternative rating agencies, PPC shall, within twenty (20) Banking Days of written notice from the Lessor either:

23.5.1: replace the existing LC Bank with a new bank or banks acceptable to the Lessor (in its absolute discretion) and procure that such bank executes a new letter of credit on substantially the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as the Initial Letter of Credit with such changes as the Lessor may agree; or
23.5.2: if the Lessor so agrees, constitute to the satisfaction of the Lessor such Additional Security and upon such terms in each case as the Lessor may in its absolute discretion agree in substitution for the applicable Letter of Credit.

If the Lessor approves any bank for the purposes of that bank becoming a Replacement LC Bank or a Supplemental LC Bank, the Lessor shall notify PPC in writing of the Minimum Credit Rating (if any) applicable to that bank

23.6 Calculations

Notwithstanding the release contained in the provisions of clause 23.1, for the purposes of determining the amount of Rent and/or, as the case may be, Termination Rent in accordance with the Financial Schedule and which is or becomes due and payable in accordance with this Agreement and the Financial Schedule, the limitation on recourse against PPC and Bluewater Energy and their respective assets and the release of PPC and Bluewater Energy and their respective assets from the obligations to pay or discharge the obligation to pay the amounts stipulated in paragraphs (a) and (b) of clause 23.1 shall be disregarded and provided further that in the case of each of the amounts stipulated in paragraphs (a) and (b) of clause 23.1 (i) the Value of any Additional Security delivered to the Lessor otherwise than pursuant to clause 22.1.1 (b) (iii) or, as the case may be, 22.1.2(c) shall be disregarded unless, at the time the relevant Additional Security is provided to the Lessor, the Lessor agrees that the Lessor shall have no right of recourse against PPC or Bluewater Energy or their respective assets and that PPC and/or Bluewater Energy and their respective assets shall be released and relieved from the obligation to pay such amounts in each case to the extent of the Value of that Additional Security and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, where it is illegal for any Credit Support Party to make payment to the Lessor of amounts which would otherwise constitute Rent Security or Termination Security or the obligations of that Credit Support Party become unenforceable by the Lessor (otherwise than as a direct consequence of the occurrence of an Insolvency Event in relation to the applicable Credit Support Party or the occurrence of any event or circumstance which with the expiry of any relevant period of time or the fulfilment of any other condition will result in an Insolvency Event of the Applicable Credit Support Party), the Value to be attributed to the relevant security shall only be the amount of money actually received and retained by the Lessor.

24 Change of circumstances etc.

24.1 Change of circumstances

This clause 24.1 applies, otherwise than where a payment is made in respect of the effect of a Change of Law in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Schedule, if at any time the Lessor shall be of the opinion that the effect of a Change in Law (excluding any introduction or change that relates to the Taxation of the Lessor or any member of the Lessor's Group, but including, without limitation, any such change that relates to the application or modification of any reserve, deposit, cash ratio, liquidity or similar requirement or to capital adequacy or that affects the manner in which or the extent to which the Lessor or any Relevant Member allocates capital resources to its obligations or to any other form of banking or monetary controls) is that:

24.1.1: the Lessor or a Relevant Member incurs a cost or an additional cost as a result of the Lessor having entered into or assuming, performing, maintaining or funding its obligations under or pursuant to any of this Agreement or the other Lease Documents; or
24.1.2: the Lessor or a Relevant Member incurs a cost or an additional cost in making payment of, funding or maintaining all or any amounts of Balance, or all or any commitments or obligations under or pursuant to any of this Agreement or the other Lease Documents; or
24.1.3: any amount payable to the Lessor or a Relevant Member or the effective return to the Lessor or a Relevant Member under or pursuant to any of this Agreement or the other Lease Documents or on all or any of its capital is reduced; or
24.1.4: the Lessor or a Relevant Member makes any payment or foregoes any interest or other return on or calculated by reference to any amount received or receivable by it under or pursuant to any of this Agreement or the other Lease Documents.

24.2 Demands by Lessor

If clause 24.1 applies, then the Lessor may serve one or more demands on PPC, notifying PPC of the relevant event as and when the same shall occur and reasonable details of the basis of the calculation of the amount referred to in clause 24.3 provided that the Lessor shall not be entitled to serve any demand in respect of a Change in Law which arises as a consequence of (or of any law or regulation implementing) (a) the proposals for international convergence of capital measurement and capital standards published by the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices in July 1988 and/or (b) any applicable directive of the European Union (in each case) unless it results from any change in such proposals or any such applicable directive (or any law or regulation implementing the same) occurring or change in the official interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof. For the purposes of this clause 24.2 the term "applicable directive" means (exclusively) the Banking Consolidation Directive (2000/12/EC) each of the Own Funds Directive.

24.3 Payment by PPC

Promptly following the service of any demand, PPC shall pay to the Lessor such amount as the Lessor determines and certifies in the demand will compensate it or a Relevant Member for the applicable increased cost and in relation to the period expressed to be covered by such demand.

24.4 Meaning of "increased cost"

In this clause 24 "increased cost" means the aggregate of:

24.4.1: the cost or additional cost incurred referred to in clause 24.1.1; and/or
24.4.2: the cost or additional cost incurred referred to in clause 24.1.2 that is attributable to the Lessor or the relevant member of the Lessor's Group in making payment of, funding or maintaining all or any amounts of Balance, or all or any commitments or obligations under or pursuant to any of this Agreement or the other Lease Documents; and/or
24.4.3: the reduction in the amount payable or in the return referred to in clause 24.1.3; and/or
24.4.4: the payment or foregone interest or return referred to in clause 24.1.4 as appropriate;

PROVIDED THAT an increased cost does not include:

(a): any increased cost compensated for by the payment of PLA Costs;
(b): any Tax Liability; and
(c): any Risk Asset Weighting.

24.5 Method of calculation

When calculating an increased cost, the Lessor may allocate or spread costs, liabilities and losses to or across the liabilities or assets of itself or members of the Lessor's Group, or any class of such liabilities or assets, and on such basis, as it considers appropriate. A certificate under hand of an officer of the Lessor specifying the amount of such compensation shall in the absence of manifest error be conclusive. Nothing contained in this clause shall oblige the Lessor to disclose any information relating to the way in which it and members of the Lessor's Group employ their capital or arrange their internal financial affairs.

25.2 Exclusions from general indemnity

The indemnities contained in clause 25.1.1 and 25.1.2 shall not extend to any Liability:

25.2.1: to the extent that such Liability is caused by any act of an Indemnified Person which constitutes the wilful or reckless misconduct of such Indemnified Person;

25.3 Notification of indemnity claims

25.3.1: notify PPC in writing as soon as practicable after receipt by the Lessor of notice of a Liability (provided such notice is in writing). Such notification to PPC from the Lessor shall give such details as the Lessor then has and which are in all the circumstances reasonable having regard to the contents of the notice of a Liability received by the Lessor; and
25.3.2: where reasonably practicable notify PPC of the Lessor's intention to pay or procure the payment of any moneys in respect of any such Liability before any such payment is made, provided that interest on any moneys payable to the Lessor or any Indemnified Person under clause 25.1 in respect of such Liability shall only accrue at LIBOR (or, in relation to any currency other than Sterling, the Lessor's funding cost in that other currency) from the date on which the Lessor or that Indemnified Person incurs that Liability, until such time as the Lessor notifies PPC of that Liability, whereafter interest will accrue at the Default Rate until reimbursed in full under clause 25.1.

25.4 Defence of claims

25.4.1: Without prejudice to the provisions of this clause 25, PPC shall (subject to having first obtained the consent of the relevant insurers, if any, and complying in all respects with its obligations under this Agreement) be entitled to take (at its own cost) such actions as PPC reasonably deems fit to defend or avoid any liability arising in respect of a Liability or to take action against any third party in respect of a Liability and shall be entitled if so agreed by the Lessor (which agreement the Lessor shall be at full liberty to withhold) in writing to take such action in the name of the Lessor, but subject always to the Lessor first being indemnified and secured to its satisfaction by PPC against all potential losses, costs, damages and expenses.
25.4.2: The parties hereto agree further that if the Lessor is required to defend any liability or contingent liabilities in respect of a Liability or to take action against any third party in respect of a Liability the Lessor shall be entitled to request additional security of a type and from a person and upon terms acceptable to the Lessor, such that the value of that additional security shall, in the opinion of the Lessor, be sufficient to ensure that the Lessor is adequately protected and secured against all potential losses, costs, damages and expenses arising as a consequence of the requirement that the Lessor defend or take action against such liability. The Lessor agrees that when ascertaining the value of the security it requires in order to defend or take action in these circumstances it will have due regard to the nature of the proceedings which it is required to commence or defend and that the value of the additional security required will be commensurate with such proceedings.

25.5 Recoveries from third parties

If any Indemnified Person shall recover from or be paid by, any person (other than PPC, Enterprise Oil or Xxxxxxx Energy or out of any security constituted by any of the Lease Documents) any amount (other than under clause 26) in respect of any payments paid or discharged by PPC in accordance with this clause 25, then provided that the Lessor has received payment of such amount and is satisfied that such amount is unconditionally available for retention by the Lessor, the Lessor shall pay to PPC a sum equal to the value of such recovered or paid amount together with any interest actually earned on such recovered or paid amount (less the amount of any Tax Liability thereon), such payment by the Lessor to be subject always to the provisions of clause 26.

25.6 Other indemnities

Each of the indemnities contained in this clause 25 or otherwise contained in this Agreement or in any other of the Lease Documents is in addition to, and not in substitution for, and shall not affected or prejudiced by, any other security, guarantee or indemnity (including the other indemnities aforesaid) now or hereafter held by the Lessor.

25.7 Pass through of indemnity benefits

Where in this clause 25 or in clause 26 below an indemnity is expressed to be for the benefit of any person who is not a party to this Agreement the Lessor shall be entitled to indemnify such person on the same terms (and subject in particular to clause 25.4) mutatis mutandis as the indemnities expressed to be for the benefit of such person in this clause 25 and PPC shall indemnify the Lessor and hold the Lessor harmless on a full indemnity basis from and against each amount paid or payable by the Lessor to such person under any such indemnity.

25.8 Waiver of rights

Each of PPC and Bluewater Energy further agree and do hereby agree, without prejudice to the express provisions of this Agreement, to waive any rights as against the Lessor that either PPC or Bluewater Energy or Xxxxxxx Energy may have under the 1976 Convention on the Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims (as most recently enacted in the United Kingdom pursuant to the Merchant Shipping Act 1995) to limit or reduce any amount that either PPC or Bluewater Energy or Xxxxxxx Energy, as the case may be, is or may be obliged to pay.

25.9 Mitigation

If circumstances arise in respect of the Lessor which would, or would upon the giving of notice, result in either PPC or Bluewater Energy or Xxxxxxx Energy being obliged to pay to the Lessor additional amounts pursuant to clause 26.3.2 (Payments and Taxes), then, without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying the obligations of PPC and Bluewater Energy and Xxxxxxx Energy under clause 26.3.2, the Lessor agrees that it will, for a period not exceeding 30 days consult with PPC and Bluewater Energy and Xxxxxxx Energy in good faith with the intention of determining whether it is possible to mitigate the effects of such circumstances, provided that any costs incurred by the Lessor in connection with such consultation or mitigation shall be reimbursed on demand by each of PPC and Bluewater Energy and Xxxxxxx Energy and further that the Lessor shall be under no obligation to take any action and in particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing words, the Lessor shall be under no obligation to take any action which might have an adverse effect upon its business, operations or financial condition or the management of its Tax affairs.

26 General Tax indemnity and other Tax provisions

26.1 General Tax indemnity and payment of certain outgoings

PPC shall pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged, as soon as the same arise or become payable (and shall, if requested by the Lessor, produce to the Lessor evidence of the payment and discharge thereof) and indemnify the Lessor and keep the Lessor fully indemnified against:

26.1.1: any Tax Liabilities; and
26.1.2: any licence duties, registration, recording, titling or filing fees, charges or levies and any interest or penalties payable in connection with any of the same;

which arise or become payable at any time in respect of, in consequence of or by reference to:

(a): the Haewene Brim Equipment (or any part thereof) or any interest therein; or
(b): any document, payment, matter, circumstance or transaction entered into, made or occurring pursuant to, contemplated by or in accordance with this Agreement or by any of the other Transaction Documents including (without limitation) the agreement to purchase, ownership, delivery to or by the Lessor, leasing, use, possession, operation, import, export, return, storage, maintenance, protection, sale, attempted sale or other disposition of the Haewene Brim Equipment (or any part thereof) or any interest therein;

or which arise or become payable as a result (whether alone or in connection with any other matter or circumstance) of anything done in response to any request by any member of the Xxxxxxx Energy Group.

26.2 Restriction on general tax indemnity

PPC shall not be obliged to indemnify the Lessor pursuant to clause 26.1:

26.2.1: against Corporation Tax attributable to any Rent or Termination Payment or interest actually receivable hereunder by the Lessor or to any other amounts payable to and unconditionally received by the Lessor under this Agreement or pursuant to or in connection with any of the other Transaction Documents or to any sales or other proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance moneys) actually received and (subject to the terms of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities) retained by the Lessor in respect of the Haewene Brim Equipment or the Lessor's rights under the Sale Agreement Provided that this clause 26.2.1 shall not apply to any Corporation Tax attributable to (i) interest receivable in respect of the Lessor Proceeds Account; (ii) any Corporation Tax under Chapter IV of Part XVII ICTA 1988 and (iii) any Rent payable under clause 7;
26.2.2: against any Tax Liability or liability in respect of any of the matters referred to in clause 26.1.2 to the extent it would not have arisen but for the reasonably avoidable delay or failure by the Lessor in the filing of Tax returns or the payment of Taxes or any duties, fees, charges or levies referred to in clause 26.1.2 assessed on or payable by the Lessor which delay or failure has not been consented to, or requested by PPC or unless such failure or delay by the Lessor arises from a failure by PPC promptly to provide the Lessor with correct, suitable and adequate information to enable the Lessor to file the relevant Tax return or pay such Taxes or other amounts;
26.2.3: against any Tax Liability to the extent that it is taken into account in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Schedule in computing the amount of any Rent or Termination Payment or any adjustment thereto or would be so taken into account but for the operation of paragraph 3.3.1 of part 3 of the Financial Schedule;

26.2.4: against any Tax Liability which is imposed by way of deduction or withholding from any payment due from PPC under this Agreement to the Lessor, whether or not PPC is required to make any payment or increased payment in respect thereof under clause 26.3;
26.2.5: against any Tax Liability which is suffered by the Lessor by reason of any payment made by or loss suffered by the Lessor not being fully deductible in computing the Lessor's liability to Corporation Tax for any Accounting Period, whether or not the Lessor is entitled to receive an Additional Payment under clause 26.5 or make any withholding in respect thereof under clause 26.7 PROVIDED THAT this clause 26.2.5 shall not restrict the application of clause 26.1 to the extent that the Lessor is not entitled to make any withholding in respect of any payment to PPC under clause 26.7 by virtue of that clause 26.7 being disapplied in accordance with the provisions of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities. For the avoidance of doubt if the Lessor determines that clause 26.7 would have applied in respect of the payment were it not for the disapplication of such clause in accordance with the provisions of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities, the absence of a right to a deduction or a full deduction for such payment in computing the Lessor's liability for Corporation Tax in the Accounting Period of the Lessor in which the payment is made shall be regarded as the loss of a Relief for the purposes of sub-paragraph (ii) of the definition of "Tax Liability".
26.2.6: to the extent that such Tax Liability is caused by any act of the Lessor which constitutes wilful or reckless misconduct of the Lessor or a breach by the Lessor of its obligations under the Transaction Documents;
26.2.7: against any Tax Liability in respect of VAT or Irrecoverable VAT, whether or not PPC is required to make any payment or increased payment in respect thereof under clause 26.4;
26.2.8: to the extent that such Tax Liability arises solely as a result of a failure of any Credit Support Party to comply with any obligation on its part under any Lease Document to which it is a party.

26.3 Payments and Taxes

26.3.1

All the sums payable to the Lessor and/or any member of the Lessor's Group pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents shall be paid in full without any set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and free and clear of all deductions or withholdings whatsoever save only as may be required by law.

26.3.2

If any deduction or withholding is required by law in respect of any payment due to the Lessor and/or any member of the Lessor's Group pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, PPC shall:

(a)

ensure or procure that the deduction or withholding is made and that it does not exceed the minimum legal requirement therefor;

(b)

pay, or procure the payment of, the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxation or other authority in accordance with the applicable law;

((c): ) ((i)) if the payment is to be made by PPC, increase the payment in respect of which the deduction or withholding is required so that the net amount received by the Lessor or, as the case may be, the applicable Relevant Member as aforesaid after the deduction or withholding (and after taking account of any further deduction or withholding which is required to be made which arises as a consequence of the increase) shall be equal to the amount which the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any requirement to make a deduction or withholding; or (as the case may be)

(ii): if the payment is to be made by any person other than PPC, pay directly to the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member such sum (a "compensating sum") as will, after taking into account any deduction or withholding which is required to be made in respect of the compensating sum, enable the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member to receive, on the due date for payment, a net sum equal to the sum which the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member would have received in the absence of any obligation to make a deduction or withholding; and

(d): promptly deliver or procure the delivery to the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member of appropriate receipts evidencing the deduction or withholding which has been made and/or payments made to the relevant Taxation or other authority pursuant to clause 26.3.2(b).

26.3.3: If the Lessor or, as the case may be, the applicable Relevant Member determines in its absolute discretion acting in good faith that it has received, realised, utilised and retained a Tax benefit by reason of any deduction or withholding in respect of which PPC has made an increased payment or paid a compensating sum under this clause 26.3 or the receipt by a Relevant Member of an increased or Compensating Sum from another party to the Transaction Documents in relation to any such deduction or withholding the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member shall, provided the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member has received all amounts which are then due and payable by PPC under any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, pay to (and, in the case of any member who is not a party to this Agreement, the Lessor shall procure a payment to) PPC (to the extent that the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member can do so without prejudicing the amount of that benefit and the right of the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member to obtain any other benefit relief or allowance which may be available to it) as soon as reasonably practicable such amount, if any, as the Lessor shall determine in its absolute discretion acting in good faith will leave the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member in no better and no worse position than the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member would have been in if the deduction or withholding had not been required,

PROVIDED THAT

(a): the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member shall have an absolute discretion as to the time at which and the order and manner in which it realises or utilises any Tax benefit;
(b): the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member shall not be obliged to disclose any information regarding its business, Tax affairs or Tax computations;
(c): if the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member has made a payment to PPC pursuant to clause 26.3.3 on account of any Tax benefit and it subsequently transpires that the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member did not receive that Tax benefit, or received a lesser Tax benefit, PPC shall pay on demand to the Lessor such sum as the Lessor may determine as being necessary to restore the after-Tax position of the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member to that which it would have been had no adjustment under this proviso (c) been necessary. Any sums payable by PPC to the Lessor under this proviso (c) shall be subject to the provisions of clause 26.5;
(d): the Lessor or, as the case may be, that member shall not be obliged to make any payment under this clause 26.3 if, by doing so, it would contravene the terms of any applicable law or any notice, direction or requirement of any governmental or regulatory authority (whether or not having the force of law);

PROVIDED FURTHER THAT if PPC requests the Lessor, in writing, to make an application for relief (whether in whole or in part) in respect of any deduction or withholding required by law pursuant to the provisions of a double tax treaty, the Lessor shall (at the cost of PPC) take such action as PPC shall reasonably request to make such application to an applicable Tax authority. If the Lessor subsequently obtains a repayment (whether in whole or in part) of such deduction or withholding from that Tax authority in circumstances where PPC has made an increased payment or paid a compensating sum under this clause 26.3 the Lessor shall, provided that the Lessor has received all amounts which are then due and payable by PPC under any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, pay to PPC such amount as will leave the Lessor in no better and in no worse position than the Lessor would have been in if the deduction or withholding had not been required.

26.4 Value Added Tax

26.4.1: If the Lessor makes any supply for Value Added Tax purposes pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction or document contemplated herein or therein, PPC shall (save to the extent that the Lessor is entitled to be indemnified in respect of that Value Added Tax by an increased payment under clause 26.4.2 below) at such time as the Lessor certifies to PPC that any amount of VAT payable in respect of that supply has not been paid to the Lessor and having duly accounted for such VAT to Customs and Excise at the correct time and having duly claimed bad debt relief in respect of that VAT the Lessor either has or has not received such relief, pay on demand to the Lessor an amount equal to the aggregate of any Value Added Tax which is payable in respect of that supply and has not been the subject of bad debt relief and interest on an amount equal to any Value Added Tax payable in respect of the supply at LIBOR ascertained in respect of the date on which such VAT was accounted for to Customs and Excise for the period from that date until the date of the Lessor's certificate or the date upon which bad debt relief is received.
26.4.2: Save where expressly provided to the contrary, all payments made under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are calculated without regard to Value Added Tax. If any such payment constitutes the whole or any part of the consideration for a taxable or deemed taxable supply (whether that supply is taxable pursuant to the exercise of an option or otherwise), the amount of that payment shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount of Value Added Tax which is chargeable in respect of the taxable supply in question PROVIDED THAT the Lessor shall not be liable to pay an amount in respect of Value Added Tax until such time as, and to the extent that it receives a credit for such VAT as "input tax", as defined in sub-section (1) of section 24 of VATA, under sections 25 and 26 of VATA or equivalent credit from a Taxation authority in another jurisdiction, in which case such payment shall be made as soon as practicable after the credit is received.
26.4.3: If any amount or Value Added Tax paid by the Lessor pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents shall be Irrecoverable VAT, PPC shall forthwith on demand by the Lessor indemnify the Lessor and keep the Lessor fully indemnified at all times against such Irrevocable VAT PROVIDED THAT if the Lessor determines that such Irrecoverable VAT subsequently proves to be recoverable, the Lessor shall pay to PPC such amount, if any, as the Lessor in its absolute discretion shall determine will leave the Lessor in no better and no worse a position than the Lessor would have been in if no payment had been made by PPC to the Lessor under this clause 26.4.3.

26.5 Grossing-up of indemnity payments

26.5.1

If the Lessor makes a payment or suffers a loss in respect of which it is entitled to be indemnified or reimbursed or otherwise kept harmless pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and the Lessor determines in its absolute discretion that:

(a): the loss or payment is not or will not be wholly deductible in computing the profits of the Lessor for the purposes of Tax whilst the payment to be made by way of indemnity or reimbursement (for the purpose of this clause 26.5, the "Payment") will or is likely to give rise to a Tax Liability for the Lessor; or
(b): the Payment is likely to give rise to a Tax Liability for the Lessor in any Accounting Period of the Lessor earlier than the Accounting Period in which the loss or payment is deductible;

then, at the time of the Payment PPC shall pay such an amount (the "Additional Payment") as will, after taking into account any Tax Liability likely to be suffered or incurred by the Lessor in respect of the Payment or the Additional Payment, leave the Lessor in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Payment not given rise to any Tax Liability and the loss or payment had not been deductible PROVIDED THAT if at the time of the Payment the Lessor considers that no Additional Payment is necessary but subsequently determines that an Additional Payment is necessary so to indemnify the Lessor, the Additional Payment shall be paid by PPC to the Lessor following a demand by the Lessor;

26.5.2: the loss or payment has proved to be wholly deductible in computing the profits of the Lessor for the purposes of Tax whilst the Payment by PPC has provided not to give rise to any Tax Liability for the Lessor, then the Lessor shall pay to PPC a rebate of Rent (for the purposes of this clause 26.5 the "Rebate") of such amount as will leave the Lessor in no better and no worse position than it would have been in if the Payment had not given rise to a Tax Liability for the Lessor and the loss or payment had not been deductible,

PROVIDED THAT if the Lessor subsequently determines that any payment by PPC to the Lessor under this clause 26.5 by way of an Additional Payment or, as the case may be, any Rebate was calculated on an incorrect basis, such adjustment shall be made between the Lessor and PPC as the Lessor determines necessary to restore the after-Tax position of the Lessor to that which it would have been if no adjustment had been necessary.

26.6 Documentary and other similar Taxes

All stamp, documentary, registration or other like duties or Taxes, including any penalties, additions, fines, surcharges or interest relating thereto, which are imposed on or chargeable on or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents shall be paid by PPC PROVIDED THAT the Lessor shall be entitled but not obliged to pay any such duties or Taxes, whether or not they are its primary responsibility, whereupon PPC shall on demand indemnify the Lessor against those duties or Taxes. The Lessor agrees that if it decides to pay any such duties or Taxes, it shall give PPC not less than five (5) Business Days' notice before making such payment and, without prejudice to the Lessor's right to pay such duties or Taxes, will consider any representations made by PPC as to why such duties or Taxes need not be paid.

26.7 Deductibility

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (other than the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities), if the Lessor determines that any payment which it is required to make to PPC under this Agreement or under any of the other Transaction Documents, by way of rebate of Rent or otherwise, will not or may not be fully deductible in computing the Lessor's liability to Corporation Tax for the Accounting Period of the Lessor in which the payment is made, the Lessor shall, except to the extent that such non-deductibility has been taken into account in accordance with the Financial Schedule as a result of Assumption 2.3.13 (d) (iii) proving not to be correct, be entitled to withhold and retain from that payment such amount as the Lessor determines to be necessary to enable it to occupy the same after-Tax position as it would occupy if the payment were fully deductible as aforesaid;

PROVIDED THAT if:

26.7.1: any such payment is made without withholding and the Lessor subsequently determines that the payment will not or may not be fully deductible as aforesaid; or
26.7.2: any such payment is made subject to withholding and the Lessor subsequently determines that no such withholding ought to have been made or the basis on which the withholding was calculated was incorrect;

such adjustment shall be made between the Lessor and PPC as the Lessor determines to be necessary, taking into account the time value of money, to enable the Lessor to occupy the same after-Tax position as it would occupy if no such adjustment were necessary. Any sum payable by PPC to the Lessor under this proviso shall be subject to the provisions of clause 26.5.

27 Preservation of indemnities

Without prejudice to damages or other claim which either party may, at any time, have against the other hereunder or under any of the Lease Documents it is hereby agreed and declared that the indemnities given by PPC in favour of the Lessor or any member of the Lessor's Group contained in this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any sale or other disposition of the Haewene Brim Equipment, a Total Loss having occurred or any breach of the terms hereof or thereof by the Lessor (including fundamental breach), the repudiation by the Lessor or PPC of this Agreement or any of the Lease Documents or the expiration of the Lease Period through effluxion of time or otherwise or the termination of the leasing or sale of the Haewene Brim Equipment hereunder or any other circumstance whatsoever.

28 Assignment

28.1 Assignment by Lessor

28.1.1: to any person who is not a member of the Lessor's Group with the consent of PPC (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld if the Lessor procures that the assignee, transferee or novatee (as the case may be) confirms to PPC at the time of such assignment transfer, novation or other disposal (as the case may be) that neither PPC nor any other Primary Obligor shall be required to suffer or incur any greater cost in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Lease Documents to which it is a party, or any loss of benefit, than would have been the case but for such assignment, transfer, novation or other disposal ("Relevant Disposal")) and provided that, as at such time, no greater cost would be so suffered or incurred by PPC or any other Primary Obligor as a result of any such Relevant Disposal under this Agreement or any of the Lease Documents to which it is a party, or any loss of benefit than would have been the case but for such Relevant Disposal; and
28.1.2: to any person who is a member of the Lessor's Group without the need for PPC's consent provided that neither PPC nor any other Primary Obligor shall not be required to suffer or incur any greater cost in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Lease Documents to which it is a party, or any loss of benefit, than would have been the case but for such assignment, transfer, novation or other disposal,

and in each case, and PPC hereby agrees and undertakes that it will upon the request of the Lessor execute such further documents and give such notices as the Lessor may reasonably require in order to effect such assignment, transfer, novation or other disposal, provided that any costs incurred by PPC Primary Obligor (including any legal fees and Irrecoverable VAT thereon) in connection therewith or with any consequential amendments to the Transaction Documents shall be reimbursed by the Lessor upon presentation of a copy of the relevant invoice. The parties acknowledge that any such assignment, transfer, novation or other disposal shall be subject to and in accordance with clause 23 of the Deed of Proceeds and Priorities.

Save as aforesaid PPC authorises the Lessor to apply any credit balance to which PPC is entitled on any account of PPC with the Lessor in satisfaction of any sum due and payable from the Lessor hereunder or under any of the other Lease Documents but unpaid; for this purpose, the Lessor is authorised to purchase with the moneys standing to the credit of any such account such other currencies as may be necessary to effect such application. The Lessor shall not be obliged to exercise any right given to it by this clause 29.

30.1.1: pay or reimburse to the Lessor all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the Lessor's Expenses, survey costs and expenses and costs and expenses in establishing and maintaining the corporate existence of the Standby Purchaser) of the Lessor properly incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of the Lease Documents and any amendment, variation or waiver from time to time hereto or thereto or any consent from time to time hereunder or thereunder and with delivery to or by the Lessor, redelivery or sale of the Haewene Brim Equipment or any part thereof, save to the extent that such costs and expenses have been taken into account in the Financial Schedule;

3	Example Cashflow Report
3.1	Example Cashflow Report
	The Example Cashflow Report has been produced by the Initial Evaluation Software, on the basis, inter alia, of the Initial Notional Accounts and the Assumptions and also by reference to the Principles, as respectively set out in paragraphs 3.3 and 3.2.
3.2	The Principles
	The Principles on which the Example Cashfiow Report has been based are as follows:—
3.2.1	that each amount payable by the Lessor by way of Total Equipment Cost under the Sale Agreement for the Equipment is charged to the Cashflow Report in the column headed "Asset Cost";
3.2.2	that interest on the day-to-day balance of the Balance during each Interest Period is calculated on a day-to-day basis, on the basis of a three hundred and sixty-five (365) day year and on the basis referred to in Principle Error! Reference source not found. and is charged or credited to the Cashflow Report on the Adjustment Date relating to each such Interest Period in the column headed "Interest";
3.2.3
	(a)	that the day-to-day amount of the Balance will, until the first Adjustment Date referred to in paragraph Error! Reference source not found. (c), when it is a negative amount, be funded by the Lessor at an annual interest rate of Assumed LIBOR (compounded on each Adjustment Date);
	(b)	that the day-to-day amount of the Balance will, until the first Adjustment Date referred to in paragraph Error! Reference source not found. (d), when it is a positive amount be reinvested by the Lessor at an annual interest rate of Assumed LIBID (compounded on each Adjustment Date);
	(c)	that the day-to-day amount of the Balance will, from the first Adjustment Date occurring on or after the end of the period after the Final Accounting Period, when it is a negative amount, be funded by the Lessor at the aggregate rate of LIBOR and Adjusted PLA Costs compounded on each Adjustment Date and that such aggregate is 0%; and
	(d)	that the day-to-day amount of the Balance will, from the first Adjustment Date occurring on or after the end of the period after the Final Accounting Period, when it is a positive amount, be reinvested by the Lessor at LIBID compounded on each Adjustment Date and that LIBID is 0%.
3.2.4	that the Return at a particular date is equal to the Return Rate applied to the day-to-day balance of the Balance (when negative) during the Interest Period ending on that date and will be charged to the Cashflow Report in the column headed "Margin" on each Adjustment Date until the Final Date.

111

3.2.5	that the Rent payable in respect of the Lease Period shall be such that;
	(a)	the Rent due on each Rent Payment Date shall be equal to the Rent (if any) due on the immediately preceding Rent Payment Date multiplied by 1.05, save that where an instalment of Rent is payable in respect of a period which is not one year, such instalment shall be increased or reduced pro rata to reflect the length of that period;
	(b)	the payments of Rent shall be calculated in accordance with Principle 3.2.5(a) and shall be of such amount as would ensure that the amount of the Balance as at the Final Date is zero or as close to zero as may be (assuming that the Final Date is such as would occur were the Lease Period to expire on the Lease Period End Date).
3.2.6
	(a)	that the payments for group relief assumed to be received through Tax Losses surrendered shall be credited to the Cashflow Report in the column headed "Tax" on the date that tax or that payment is assumed on the basis of the Assumptions to be received;
	(b)	that Corporation Tax on Tax Profit shall be calculated by reference to the Notional Accounts and shall be charged to the Cashflow Report in the column headed "Tax" on the date that Corporation Tax (including any liability for interest or penalties) is assumed, on the basis of the Assumptions, to fall due for payment.
3.2.7	that any surrender of Tax Losses by the Lessor to any other Member, as referred to in Assumption 3.3.5(a), will be in respect of the profits of such Member arising in the Accounting Period of such Member which completely coincides with the Lessor's Accounting Period in which such Tax Losses arose.
3.2.8	[not used]
3.2.9	that the acquisition of the Equipment by the Lessor under the Sale Agreement, the leasing of the Equipment under this Agreement, the sale or other disposal of the Equipment by the Lessor under or as contemplated by the terms of the Transaction Documents and the transactions and arrangements deemed to apply in relation thereto are the only transactions carried out by the Lessor and the Lessor shall be regarded as having no assets in respect of which Writing Down Allowances are available other than the Equipment, provided that nothing in this Principle shall either imply that the Lessor does not carry on a trade of leasing in the course of which it acquires the Equipment and leases the Equipment under this Agreement or deem a balancing allowance to be received by the Lessor at any time.
3.2.10	that all amounts due to the Lessor under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents will be paid when due.
3.2.11	that any amount of Value Added Tax shall be left out of account in preparing the Cashflow Report.
3.2.12	that every day is a Business Day.
3.2.13	that the Notional Accounts are prepared on a basis that is generally consistent with the Accounts, taking into account Principle 3.2.9, and the Lessor will prepare its accounts to comply with UK GAAP.

3.2.15	that the Lessor will not be entitled to capital allowances or writing down allowances or any other form of tax relief in respect of Total Equipment Cost at a rate of more than twenty five per cent. (25%) per annum on a reducing balance basis.

112

3.2.16	that the Lessor's Exposure on any date shall not exceed the amount set out in Annex C for the period in which such date falls.
3.2.17	that where as a result of any change or changes in any one or more Assumptions or Termination Assumptions, the amount of Corporation Tax payable, or Group Relief Receipt receivable, by the Lessor on a Tax Payment Date falling before the date on which the Cashflow Report is prepared ("Prior Tax Payment Date") is different from the amount of Corporation Tax that would have been payable, or Group Relief Receipt which would have been receivable, by the Lessor on that Prior Tax Payment Date if that Assumption or Termination Assumption had not changed, it shall be assumed that no adjustment shall be made to the amount of Corporation Tax shown as payable on that Prior Tax Payment Date, but an amount equal to any change in such Corporation Tax (or Group Relief Receipt) together with an amount equal to interest on Inland Revenue Terms to the Tax Payment Date referred to below in respect of such amount (on the basis that a Group Relief Receipt represents a repayment of Corporation Tax from the Inland Revenue) shall be shown in the Cashflow Report on the next Tax Payment Date after the date on which any Cashflow Report is prepared in consequence of such change or changes in Assumptions or Termination Assumptions (the "Subsequent Tax Payment Date") (provided that the Subsequent Tax Payment Date falls at least ten (10) London Banking Days after the date of preparation of such Cashflow Report, and that if it does not, such amount shall be calculated for the Tax Payment Date next following the Subsequent Tax Payment Date).

117

4.2	Preparation of Revised Cashflow Reports and revised Notional Accounts after the Commencement Date.
	The Lessor shall produce and deliver to PPC a Revised Cashflow Report as soon as practicable if at any time after the Commencement Date, and from time to time, (i) paragraph 4.23 applies, or (ii) any of the Assumptions shall not be correct such that the Latest Cashflow Report shall be incorrect, or (iii) paragraph 4.11 applies such that it would result in a Return Rate different from that used for the Latest Cashflow Report, in each case on the same basis as the Latest Cashflow Report except as set out below.
4.3	The Original Cashflow Report and each Revised Cashflow Report shall (subject to the limitation on adjustments contained in paragraph 4.12.1) take account of any changes in the facts underlying the Assumptions including the effect of any such change having retrospective effect if this is the case.

	(a)	the Rent due up to and including the date on which such Revised Cashfiow Report is produced shall be in amounts determined by reference to the Latest Cashflow Report; and
	(b)	the remaining Rents shall be increased or decreased by such equal percentage from the Rent set out in the Latest Cashflow Report as would. in each case, ensure that the amount of the Balance as at the Final Date is zero (or as close to zero as may be), assuming for this purpose that the Final Date is such as would occur if the Lease Period were to end on the Lease Period End Date.
4.5	Where if paragraphs 4.1-4.11 were applied (disregarding for this purpose this paragraph 4.5) on any date after the date hereof determined in accordance with paragraph 4.2 by the Lessor (the "Relevant Date") and any of the Rents due after the Relevant Date would be of an amount so that the Lessor's Exposure for any date after the Relevant Date determined by the Lessor (the "Nominated Date") would exceed the amount set out in Annex C for the period in which such date falls, then neither paragraph 4.4(b) nor Principle 3.2.5 shall apply and:
	(a)	the Rent due up to and including the date on which such Cashflow Report is produced (if any) shall be in amounts determined by reference to the Latest Cashflow Report;
	(b)	the minimum additional Rent required to be paid by PPC to the Lessor on the Relevant Date so as to ensure that the Lessor's Exposure for any date would not exceed the amount set out in Annex C for the period in which such date falls shall be paid by PPC to the Lessor on the Relevant Date; and
	(c)	the remaining Rents shall be increased by such equal percentage from the Rent set out in the Latest Cashflow Report as would when taken with the additional Rent referred to in paragraph 4.5(b) above, ensure that the amount of the Balance as at the Final Date is zero (or as close to zero as may be), assuming for this purpose that the Final Date is such as would occur if the Lease Period End Date and that the Assumptions, as amended thereafter remain correct.

118

4.6	Where paragraphs 4.1-4.11 are applied and such Revised Cashflow Report is produced after the final Rent Payment Date during the Lease Period then such Revised Cashflow Report shall be used to calculate an additional Rent to be paid by PPC to the Lessor or a rebate of Rent to be paid by the Lessor to PPC, in each case on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date on which the Revised Cashflow Report is prepared and delivered to PPC (or, the last day of the Accounting Period of the Lessor in which that date occurs, if earlier), as would reduce the Balance on the Final Date to zero (or as close to zero as may be), assuming that the Assumptions, as amended, thereafter remain correct.
4.7	If
	(a)	the Equipment is not sold by the Lessor on or prior to the Lease Period End Date so that Assumption 3.3.13(a) proves incorrect; or
	(b)	the Equipment is sold by the Lessor on or prior to the Lease Period End Date but Assumption 3.3.13(b) is not correct,
	the Assumptions that:
		(i)	in the case of (a) only, the Equipment will not be sold;
		(ii)	in the case of (a) only, the Net Disposal Proceeds will be nil; and
		(iii)	in either case, tax relief is available to the Lessor in the Accounting Period of the Lessor in which the Lease Period End Date occurs equal to such amount of tax relief as is due to any remaining Writing Down Allowances in respect of the Equipment that the Lessor calculates will be available over the next ensuing ten (10) Accounting Periods, such Writing Down Allowances being discounted at the Designated Discount Rate compounded quarterly to the ending of the Accounting Period of the Lessor in which the Lease Period End Date occurs, with the resulting benefit being calculated at the Corporation Tax Rate applicable to the Lessor in the Accounting Period of the Lessor in which the Lease Period End Date occurs
	shall apply.
4.8	The Lessor shall produce revised Notional Accounts on production of the Original Cashflow Report if and as often as a Revised Cashflow Report is produced.
4.9	Risk Asset Weighting
	If Assumption 3.3.20 proves not to be correct, the Return Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the following:
	(a)	if the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting increases from a Relevant Risk Asset Weighting of 20 per cent. or more than 20 per cent., the Relevant Return Rate shall be increased by 0.21986125 per cent. per annum for every increase of 10 per cent. in the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting above the previously applicable Relevant Risk Asset Weighting and pro rata for increases which are not whole multiples of 10 per cent., or
	(b)	if the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting increases from a Relevant Risk Asset Weighting of less than 20 per cent. to a Relevant Risk Asset Weighting of more than 20 per cent., the Relevant Return Rate shall be:

119

		(ii)	increased by 0.21986125 per cent. per annum for every increase of 10 per cent. in the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting above 20 per cent. and pro rata for increases which are not whole multiples of 10 per cent., or
	(c)	if the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting increases from a Relevant Risk Asset Weighting of less than 20 per cent. to a Relevant Risk Asset Weighting of 20 per cent. or less than 20 per cent., the Relevant Return Rate shall be increased by 0.026955 per cent. per annum for every increase of 10 per cent. in the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting above the previously applicable Relevant Risk Asset Weighting and pro rata for increases which are not whole multiples of 10 per cent., or
	(d)	if the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting decreases to a Relevant Risk Asset Weighting of 20 per cent. or more than 20 per cent., the Relevant Return Rate shall be decreased by 0.21986125 per cent. per annum for every decrease of 10 per cent. in the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting below the previously applicable Relevant Risk Asset Weighting and pro rata for decreases which are not whole multiples of 10 per cent., or
	(e)	if the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting decreases from a Relevant Risk Asset Weighting of more than 20 per cent. to a Relevant Risk Asset Weighting of less than 20 per cent., the Relevant Return Rate shall be:
		(i)	decreased by 0.21986125 per cent. per annum for every decrease of 10 per cent., in the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting below the previously applicable Relevant Risk Asset Weighting down to and including 20 per cent. and pro rata for decreases which are not whole multiples of 10 per cent., and
		(ii)	decreased by 0.026955 per cent. per annum for every decrease of 10 per cent., in the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting below 20 per cent. and pro rata for decreases which are not whole multiples of 10 per cent., or
	(f)	if the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting decreases from a Relevant Risk Asset Weighting of 20 per cent. or less than 20 per cent., the Relevant Return Rate shall be decreased by 0.026955 per cent. per annum for every decrease of 10 per cent. in the Relevant Risk Asset Weighting below the previously applicable Relevant Risk Asset Weighting and pro rata for decreases which are not whole multiples of 10 per cent.,

	(a)	shall be produced using the same Evaluation Software (subject to paragraph 4.23.1);
	(b)	shall be produced on the basis of the Principles (subject to paragraph 4.23.2);
	(c)	shall take into account the Assumptions (as varied from time to time in accordance with this Financial Schedule); and

120

	(d)	may, if the Lessor determines to be appropriate include columns and rows additional to those in the Example Cashflow Report.
4.11	Lessor's Exposure and changes to Return Rate
	This paragraph 4.11 shall apply on each occasion on which there is a change in any Assumption (excluding Assumption 3.3.19 and except as provided for in paragraph 4.11(d) below). Where this paragraph 4.11 applies:
	(a)	Prior to the preparation of the Revised Cashflow Report, the Lessor shall:
		(i)	prepare Termination Cashflow Reports to determine a Termination Sum for the Commencement Date and for each Quarter Date falling after the Commencement Date and on or before the Lease Period End Date on the basis of the Termination Assumptions (as varied); and
		(ii)	calculate for the Commencement Date and each Quarter Date falling on or after the Commencement Date and on or before the Lease Period End Date an amount equal to the Security Value on that date (the "Sterling Secured Amount"): and
		(iii)	prepare a Table or as the case may be a revised Table in the form of the Example Annex E Table on the basis set out below.
	(b)	The Table shall be prepared as follows:
		(i)	the Sterling Secured Amount for each date specified in the column headed "Date" shall be inserted in Column A against that date;
		(ii)	the Termination Sum as calculated in accordance with paragraph 4.11(a)(i) for each date specified in the column headed "Date" shall be inserted in Column B against that date;
		(iii)	in the event that the figure for any date in Column B exceeds the corresponding figure in Column A, the difference shall be inserted in Column C;
		(iv)	for each such date, the Lessor shall insert in Column D the result of the figure in Column C expressed as a percentage of the figure in Column B;
		(v)	the Lessor shall then determine the following average percentages:
			(A)	for the Quarter Date immediately following the Commencement Date (the "First Quarter Date"), the average of the percentages shown in Column D for the First Quarter Date and the immediately following Quarter Dates which fail before the first January Date and shall insert such percentage in the Table in Column E against the First Quarter Date;
			(B)	for each January Date, the average of the percentages shown in Column D for such January Date and the immediately following three Quarter Dates and shall insert such percentage in the Table in Column E against the relevant January Date;
		(vi)	a percentage shall be inserted in the Table in Column F against the First Quarter Date and each relevant January Date determined in accordance with the formula
	X × E

121

			where E is the percentage in Column E for that date, and X is the Strip Risk Return Rate;
		(vii)	a percentage shall be inserted in the Table in Column G against the First Quarter Date and each relevant January Date in accordance with the formula
	Y × (1-E)
			where E has the same meaning as in (vi) above, and Y is the Bank Risk Return Rate (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the figure 1 in this formula is the equivalent of 100 per cent.);
		(viii)	a percentage shall be inserted in Column H in the Table against the First Quarter Date and each relevant January Date being the aggregate of the percentages in Columns F and G for that date. Where no percentage would otherwise be inserted for any relevant date, the Bank Risk Return Rate shall be inserted;
		(ix)	a percentage shall be inserted in Column I in the Table against the First Quarter Date and each relevant January Date being the percentage in Column H for that date minus the percentage in Column H of the Example Annex C Table for that date;
		(x)	a percentage shall be inserted in Column J in the Table against the First Quarter Date and each relevant January Date being the sum of the Day One Return Rate and the percentage in Column I for that date,
		and for the purposes of this Table, the percentage in column J shall be shown to four decimal places.
	(c)	Following production of the Table or as the case may be any revised Table, the same shall be used to determine the Return Rate for any day for the purposes of any Revised Cashflow Report to be prepared. The Return Rate for any day shall, until the next occasion on which paragraph 4.9 or this paragraph 4.11 is used to determine a new Return Rate, be the figure shown in Column J of the latest Table for the First Quarter Date or the January Date falling on or immediately preceding that date. The Revised Cashflow Report shall be prepared on the basis of the revised Return Rate determined in accordance with paragraph 4.9 or this paragraph 4.11.
	(d)	For the avoidance of doubt, where a Table produced in accordance with this paragraph 4.11 has been used to determine the Return Rate for the purposes of any Revised Cashflow Report, any change in Assumption that arises as a result of such Revised Cashflow Report shall not give rise to an obligation to produce a new Table in accordance with this paragraph 4.11.
4.12	Substitution of the Original Cashflow Report and Revised Cashflow Report for Latest Cashflow Report
	The Original Cashflow Report and each Revised Cashflow Report produced in accordance with paragraphs 4.1-4.11 shall be promptly delivered to PPC together with reasonable details of any changes in the Assumptions determined by the Lessor, and shall be substituted for the Latest Cashflow Report and the amounts of Rent falling due after the Original Cashflow Report or such Revised Cashflow Report is produced and delivered shall be determined by reference to the Original Cashflow Report or such Revised Cashfiow Report (as the case may be) to the exclusion of any previous Cashflow Report. (Thereafter, references to the correctness of, or any change in, any Assumption shall be construed accordingly.)

122

	(c)	Assumption 3.3.4 and/or Assumption 3.3.5 are not in fact correct including, for the avoidance of doubt, any circumstance where such Assumptions are not in fact correct as a result of a deficiency of taxable profits of the Lessor or of a Member (or Members) or as a result of any Member not making payment to the Lessor in respect of any Losses (calculated in accordance with the Principles and the Assumptions) surrendered to that Member in accordance with Assumption 3.3.5(b); or
	(d)	any act of the Lessor or any member of the Lessor's Group (excluding any act of PPC or any member of the Xxxxxxx Energy/Bluewater Group acting in any capacity on behalf of the Lessor or such member) which constitutes wilful or reckless misconduct or a breach by the Lessor of its obligation under the Transaction Documents; or
	(e)	interest being paid, or assumed to be paid, by the Lessor otherwise than:

123

	(h)	as a result of the reasonably avoidable delay or failure of the Lessor in the filing of accurate and complete Tax returns or the payment of Taxes assessed on the Lessor or any Member, except to the extent that such failure or delay by the Lessor is caused by an act or omission of PPC, or any member of the Xxxxxxx Energy/Bluewater Group Provided that for this purpose Tax returns produced in accordance with the Assumptions, the Termination Assumptions and the Lessors Increased Termination Assumptions (as varied from time to time) shall not be regarded as inaccurate for this purpose; or
	(i)	the basis on which the Lessor or any Member prepares Its Tax computations as initially submitted to the Inland Revenue being inconsistent with the Principles or Assumptions (as they may be adjusted from time to time).
4.13	Calculation of Money Cost Variations in respect of the Cashflow Report

		(i)	an amount (expressed as negative) calculated on a day-to-day basis on the Balance (when that balance is a negative figure) for such Interest Period ending on such Adjustment Date at LIBOR plus Adjusted PLA Costs for the Interest Period as determined on the first day of such Interest Period; plus

124

		(ii)	an amount (expressed as positive) calculated on a day-to-day basis on the balance of the Balance (if any) (when that is a positive figure) for such Interest Period at LIBID for the Interest Period as determined on the first day of such Interest Period.

		(i)	an amount (expressed as negative) calculated on the same basis (and determined from the Cashflow Report) as for sub-paragraph 4.14(a)(i) above except that the rate shall be Assumed LIBOR and not LIBOR and Adjusted PLA Costs;
		(ii)	an amount (expressed as positive) calculated on the same basis (and determined from the Cashflow Report) as for sub-paragraph 4.14(a)(ii) above except that the rate shall be Assumed LIBID and not LIBID.
4.15	Where the amount (if any) of the Actual Money Costs arithmetically exceeds (having regard to positive and negative signs) the Assumed Money Costs as both are determined pursuant to and in accordance with paragraph 4.14 above, such excess shall be a Lessee Adjustment Amount.
4.16	Where the amount (if any) of the Actual Money Costs are arithmetically less (having regard to positive and negative signs) than the Assumed Money Costs, as both are determined pursuant to and in accordance with paragraph 4.14 above, such shortfall shall be a Lessor Adjustment Amount.
4.17	The Lessor shall not less than (5) Business Days prior to each Adjustment Date occurring after the Delivery Date notify PPC of the amount of any Lessee Adjustment Amount or Lessor Adjustment Amount for such Adjustment Date pursuant to paragraphs 4.13-4.17.
4.18	Account to be operated by the Lessor
	(a)	The Lessor shall operate a notional Sterling account to be known as the "Interest Adjustment Account". For the avoidance of doubt, the Interest Adjustment Account shall be an account for the purposes of calculation only and shall not at any time constitute a debt between the parties hereto, it being agreed that the only payment obligations arising pursuant to paragraphs 4.18 and 4.19 shall be those expressly provided for in paragraph 4.19;
	(b)	Any reference in this paragraph 4.18 to an amount being credited to the Interest Adjustment Account is a reference to that amount being added to the credit balance on the Interest Adjustment Account;
	(c)	The balance of the Interest Adjustment Account shall be a function of credits to be made in accordance with the following provisions:
		(i)	the opening balance on the Interest Adjustment Account shall be zero;
		(ii)	on any Adjustment Date occurring after the Delivery Date up to and including the Finale Date for which there is a Lessor Adjustment Amount calculated under paragraphs 4.13-4.17 an amount equal to such Lessor Adjustment Amount shall be treated as credited to the Interest Adjustment Account;

125

		(iii)	if there has been a credit balance on the Interest Adjustment Account at any time during an Interest Period, an amount in respect of interest for that Interest Period calculated in accordance with sub-paragraphs (iv) and (v) below shall be credited to the Interest Adjustment Account on the Adjustment Date on which such Interest Period expires;
		(iv)	the amount to be credited in accordance with sub-paragraph (iii) above in respect of any Interest Period shall be equal to interest on the credit balance on the Interest Adjustment Account during that Interest Period at LIBID for the Interest Period determined on the first day of that Interest Period;
		(v)	the amounts of interest referred to in sub-paragraph (iii) shall be calculated on a daily basis and on the basis of a 365 day year;

The amount of any credit balance so calculated by the Lessor on any Interest Adjustment Date is referred to as a Lessor Adjustment Credit; and
		(vii)	on each Interest Adjustment Date, the balance on the Interest Adjustment Account shall be reduced (or, as the case may be, increased) to zero (for the avoidance of doubt, after the calculation of the balance thereof by the Lessor pursuant to sub-paragraph (vi) above) by crediting the Lessor Adjustment Amount to PPC in accordance with paragraph 4.19(a).
4.19	Payments to be made by the Lessor and PPC
	(a)	If, for any Interest Adjustment Date the Lessor shall have calculated pursuant to subparagraph (c)(vi) of paragraph 4.18 that there is a Lessor Adjustment Credit for that Interest Adjustment Date, then the instalment of Rent, the Termination Payment or the amount payable by way of additional Rent (as the case may be) payable by PPC on that Interest Adjustment Date shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Lessor Adjustment Credit.
	(b)	If, for any Adjustment Date the Lessor shall have calculated pursuant to paragraph 4.15 that there is a Lessee Adjustment Amount for that Adjustment Date, then PPC shall on such Adjustment Date pay to the Lessor by way of additional Rent under this Agreement, in respect of the period commencing on the previous Adjustment Date (or, if none, the Delivery Date) and ending on such Adjustment Date, in an amount equal to such Lessee Adjustment Amount.
	(c)	The Lessor shall not less than five (5) Business Days prior to each Interest Adjustment Date notify PPC of the amount of the Lessor Adjustment Credit (if any) calculated for that date pursuant to paragraph 4.18.
4.20	Where the Adjustment Date occurs by reason of a Termination the time limits referred to in paragraphs 4.14 and 4.18 shall not apply and the Lessor shall make the relevant notification on or after that Adjustment Date.

4.22	Adjustments on Substitution of Revised Cashflow Report or Revised Termination Cashflow Report etc.
	Where any Revised Cashflow Report or Revised Termination Cashflow Report is prepared under paragraph 4.12 or 5.5, the Lessor shall separately calculate the financial adjustment (if any) which needs to be made between the Lessor and PPC by reason of adjustments in respect of the money cost variations paid under paragraphs 4.13 to 4.19 having been based on figures in respect of the Balance which such Revised Cashflow Report or Revised Termination Cashflow Report may show to be incorrect. A payment to reflect the adjustment so calculated shall be made between the Lessor and PPC on the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date the Lessor calculates the financial adjustment, (but shall not be reflected in any Cashflow Report).
4.23	Evaluation Software and Interest Rate Adjustments
4.23.1	The Lessor may from time to time:—
	(a)	utilise a later version or release of the Evaluation Software or substitute alternative Evaluation Software for that previously used to calculate any amount due under this Financial Schedule; and/or
	(b)	supplement the operation of the Evaluation Software by calculating or recalculating data to be input to the Evaluation Software and/or data generated by the Evaluation Software (but not so as to produce a result which is inconsistent with the Example Cashflow Report)
	and make any consequential changes to the form of the Cashflow Reports PROVIDED THAT the Lessor shall promptly inform PPC of any action taken by it pursuant to this paragraph 4.23.1 and shall supply to PPC such information concerning that action as PPC may reasonably require in order to verify the effect of such action on the form and/or content of Cashflow Reports.
4.23.2	If as a result of any changes made by the Lessor pursuant to paragraph 4.23.1, or as a consequence of any Change of Tax Law or Change of Accountancy Practice, or of any Assumption being or becoming incorrect, any of the Principles (including any related defined terms) ceases to reflect the proper basis for producing Cashflow Reports, the Principles and any relevant defined terms shall be varied to such extent, and such consequential changes shall be made elsewhere in this Financial Schedule, as the Lessor shall reasonably determine to be necessary PROVIDED that the Lessor shall promptly notify PPC of all such changes and shall provide sufficient additional information (including when appropriate examples of the operation of the revised Principles) to enable PPC to ascertain the effect of the changes.
4.23.3	Following the occurrence of any relevant Change of Tax Law or Change of Accountancy Practice, the Lessor may from time to time, if LIBOR differs from Assumed LIBOR in respect of any current or prior Interest Period elect to prepare a Revised Cashflow Report taking account of the actual rate of LIBOR for that Interest Period and, in any such case, paragraphs 4.13-4.17 shall not apply in respect of the relevant Interest Period.
4.24	[Not used]

127

4.25	Broken Funding Costs and Benefits
4.25.1	PPC shall on demand pay to the Lessor (which payment shall be deemed to be an indemnity payment for the purposes of this Agreement) an amount equal to any Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of any premature termination of the underlying funding arrangements made by the Lessor or any Member in contemplation of or in connection with the transaction, and on terms, contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any Termination).
4.25.2	Provided no event within Clause 21.1 has occurred the Lessor shall pay to PPC, by way of a rebate of Rent, any Broken Funding Benefit when that benefit so arising has been calculated.
4.26	Revision of Assumptions
	In the event of a change in any of the Assumptions, Termination Assumptions, or Lessor's Increased Termination Assumptions, that assumption shall be deemed to be revised as necessary to reflect such change and that assumption, as so revised shall be deemed to be incorporated herein in substitution for that set out in this Schedule (as the same may previously have been revised pursuant to this Schedule).
4.27	[Not used]
4.28	Change of Assumption
	Without prejudice to any other circumstances where an Assumption, Termination Assumption or Lessor's Increased Termination Assumption changes, a change of Assumption, Termination Assumption or Lessor's Increased Termination Assumption shall be deemed to occur:
	(a)	when any statute or statutory instrument the effect of which is or will be to render such Assumption, Termination Assumption or Lessor's Increased Termination Assumption incorrect, becomes law; or
	(b)	following any decision by the Special Commissioners which affects the accuracy of any Assumption, Termination Assumption or Lessor's Increased Termination Assumption or following any judicial decision in the High Court or any appellate body which affects the accuracy of any Assumption.
5	Calculation of Payments on Termination
5.1	Payments on Termination
	Where a Termination Payment becomes due and payable pursuant to any provision of this Agreement that Termination Payment shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph 5.
5.2	Termination Payment
	The Termination Payment is the aggregate of:
	(a)	the Termination Rent derived from the Termination Cashflow Report; and
	(b)	the Early Termination Fee (if any).
5.3	Termination Rent
5.3.1	When a Termination Rent has to be ascertained the Lessor shall produce and deliver to PPC a Termination Cashflow Report to be prepared on the basis of, inter alia, the Termination Principles and Termination Assumptions and otherwise on the same basis as the Latest Cashflow Report.

128

5.3.2	The Termination Principles are:
	(a)	the Principles (except Principle 3.2.5); and
	(b)	that:
		(i)	the Rent due up to but excluding the Termination Payment Date shall be in amounts determined by reference to the Latest Cashflow Report;
		(ii)	the amount shown in the Column headed "Rentals" in the Termination Cashflow Report to be due on the Termination Payment Date (the Termination Rent) shall be such amount as would ensure that (provided the Termination Assumptions prove to be correct) on the Final Date the Balance would be zero (or as dose to zero as may be);
		(iii)	no Rent is due on or after the Termination Payment Date, and
	(c)	that the Lease Period shall end on the Termination Payment Date.
5.3.3	The Termination Assumptions are:—
	(a)	the Assumptions applied in preparing the Latest Cashftow Report excluding Assumptions 3.3.13 and 3.3.24 (but where any of such Assumptions have proved to be incorrect on or before the Termination Payment Date the Termination Cashflow Report shall (subject to paragraph 4.12.1) take account of any changes in the facts underlying the Assumptions); and
	(b)	that:
		(i)	the Lessor will sell the Equipment on the Termination Payment Date and the Equipment will cease to belong to the Lessor for the purposes of CAA 2001 in the Final Accounting Period;
		(ii)	the Net Disposal Proceeds will be an amount not less than the Tax Written Down Value of the Equipment brought forward at the commencement of the Final Accounting Period;
		(iii)	the Net Disposal Proceeds actually received will be treated solely as the Disposal Value in respect of the Equipment and the Lessor will not be required to bring into account any amount or amounts of Disposal Value in respect of the Equipment other than the Net Disposal Proceeds,
			(i), (ii) and (iii) being ("the Sale Assumptions"); and
		(iv)	in respect of the Final Accounting Period the Lessor will be entitled to a deduction in computing its trading profits for Corporation Tax which deduction is to be computed on the following assumptions:
			(x)	the Lessor will, in that Accounting Period, make a rebate of Rent to PPC in an amount equal to those Net Disposal Proceeds assumed to be received in subparagraph (b)(ii);
			(y)	the rebate of Rent referred to in sub-paragraph (x) above will be fully deductible for Corporation Tax as a trading expense for the Lessor in that Accounting Period; and
			(z)	the Lessor will thereby be entitled in respect of that Accounting Period, to a deduction in computing its trading profits or losses for Corporation Tax in that amount.

129

5.4	Early Termination Fee
5.4.1	If a Termination occurs on or before the third (3rd) anniversary of the Delivery Date then, subject to paragraph 5.4.3 below, there will be added into the sum so required on the date of such termination an additional sum (the "Early Termination Fee") calculated in accordance with paragraph 5.4.2.
5.4.2	The Early Termination Fee will be the amount calculated by taking from the Latest Cashflow Report the sums shown in the column headed "Margin" from the Termination Payment Date to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Delivery Date (both dates inclusive) multiplied by the factor (100/(100 - x)); where x equals the Corporation Tax Rate applicable to the Accounting Period in which the Termination Payment Date falls, expressed as a whole number (and not as a percentage).
5.4.3	The Termination Fee shall be nil where PPC terminates this Agreement under Clause 21.4 in circumstances where the transaction has become Economically Burdensome.
5.5	Subsequent Adjustment to Termination Rent
5.5.1	If at any time and from time to time following the Termination Payment Date until the End Date, any of the Termination Assumptions taken into account in preparing the Latest Termination Cashflow Report shall prove to be incorrect, there shall, subject to the provisions of paragraph 4.12.1 above, be calculated and paid by way of adjustment either an additional Rent by PPC to the Lessor or, as the case may be, a rebate of Rent from the Lessor to PPC and for the purpose of that calculation the Lessor shall as soon as is practicable prepare and deliver to PPC a Revised Termination Cashflow Report.
5.5.2	A Revised Termination Cashflow Report shall be prepared on the same basis as the Latest Termination Cashflow Report except that:
	(a)	it shall take account of the amount of the Termination Rent calculated in respect of the Termination Payment Date and any amounts payable under this paragraph 5.5 in accordance with any previous Revised Termination Cashflow Report and of the dates any such amounts were due.
	(b)	it shall take no account of the Termination Principle set out in paragraph 5.3.2(b)(iii) but shall assume that the only Rent due after the Termination Payment Date is any amount payable under this paragraph 5.5.
	(c)	to the extent that any Termination Assumptions as are referred to in paragraph 5.3.3 above have proved to be incorrect it shall (subject as otherwise provided in this paragraph 5.5.2 and subject to paragraph 4.12.1 above) be prepared on the basis of such Termination Assumptions as corrected.
	(d)	if any of the Corporation Tax Rates assumed for the purpose of the Latest Termination Cashflow Report have proved to be incorrect, it shall instead take account of the Corporation Tax Rates which are subsequently known or reasonably predicted by the Lessor to apply for the Accounting Period of the Lessor in which the Termination Payment Date falls and any subsequent Accounting Periods.
	(e)	if the Equipment is not sold by the Lessor on or prior to the Termination Payment Date so that Termination Assumption 5.3.3(b)(i) proves incorrect or the Equipment is so sold, but Termination Assumption 5.3.3(b)(ii) is not correct, the following Assumptions (which shall be treated as Termination Assumptions) shall apply:
		(i)	that where there has been no sale on or prior to the Termination Payment Date, the Equipment will not be sold;

130

		(ii)	that where there has been no sale on or prior to the Termination Payment Date, the Net Disposal Proceeds will be nil; and
		(iii)	that whether or not there has been a sale, tax relief is available to the Lessor in the Accounting Period of the Lessor in which the Termination Payment Date occurs equal to such amount of tax relief as is due to any remaining Writing Down Allowance in respect of the Equipment will be available over the next ensuing ten (10) Accounting Periods such Writing Down Allowances being discounted at the Designated Discount Rate per annum compounded quarterly to the ending of the Final Accounting with the resulting benefit being calculated at the Corporation Tax Rate applicable to the Lessor in the Final Accounting Period.
5.5.3	Such Revised Termination Cashflow Report shall be used to calculate such additional Rent to be paid by PPC to the Lessor or such rebate of Rent to be paid by the Lessor to PPC in each case on the tenth (10th) day following the date of preparation and delivery of the Revised Termination Cashflow Report (or, the last day of the Accounting Period of the Lessor in which that date occurs, if earlier), as would reduce the Balance on the Final Date to zero, or as close thereto as may be, assuming that the Termination Assumptions (as corrected in the manner above required) thereafter remain correct. Each Revised Termination Cashflow Report shall be promptly delivered to PPC.
6	Calculation of Lessor's Increased Termination Sum
6.1	Lessor's Increased Termination Sum
	On or before the commencement of the first Interest Period the Lessor shall ascertain the highest Termination Payment that could be calculated in accordance with paragraph 6.2 in respect of any day falling within the Lease Period ("Lessor's Increased Termination Sum"). The Lessor shall notify PPC as soon as reasonably practicable after the calculation of the highest Lessor's Increased Termination Sum.
6.2	Lessor's Increased Termination Cash Flow
	(a)	The Lessor's Increased Termination Sum in respect of any day (the "Relevant Termination Date") shall be calculated by producing a Cashflow Report (the "Lessor's Increased Termination Cash Flow") to be prepared in accordance with paragraph 5.3 on the basis of, inter alia, the Lessor's Increased Termination Assumptions and the Lessor's Increased Termination Principles.
	(b)	The Lessor's Increased Termination Principles are:
		(i)	the Termination Principles, with all references to Termination Payment Date, Termination Cashflow Report, Termination Rent and Termination Assumptions being construed as references to Relevant Termination Date, Lessor's Increased Termination Cashflow Report, Lessor's Increased Termination Sum and Lessor's Increased Termination Assumptions respectively; and

131

		(ii)	that tax relief is available to the Lessor in the Accounting Period of the Lessor in which the Relevant Termination Date occurs equal to such amount of tax relief as is due to writing down allowances in respect of the Equipment for such Accounting Period and such writing down allowances will be available over the next ensuing twenty (20) Accounting Periods, such writing down allowances being (a) discounted at the Designated Discount Rate per annum as calculated by the Lessor, (b) calculated at the Corporation Tax Rate applicable to the Lessor and (c) calculated assuming that the benefit of any writing down allowances in respect of any Accounting Periods after the twentieth Accounting Period will be received in such twentieth Accounting Period.
	(c)	The Lessor's Increased Termination Assumptions are:
		(i)	the Termination Assumptions, except the Sale Assumptions, with all references to Termination Payment Date and Termination Rent being construed as references to Relevant Termination Date and Lessor's Increased Termination Sum respectively save that the reference to Termination Payment Date contained in paragraph 5.3(a) shall be construed as a reference to the date on which the Lessor's Increased Termination Cash Flow is being prepared; and
		(ii)	that no sale of the Equipment takes place, no Total Loss and no cessation of the benefit of the Lessor's rights under the Sale Agreement occurs.
6.3	Subsequent adjustment to Lessor's Increased Termination Cash Flow
	As soon as practicable after any of the Lessor's Increased Termination Assumptions shall prove not be correct the Lessor shall calculate a revised Termination Payment (the "Revised Lessor's Increased Termination Sum") by producing a revised Cashflow Report (the "Revised Lessor's Increased Termination Cashflow Report") prepared on the same basis as the Lessor's Increased Termination Cashflow Report save that there shall be substituted the correct assumption for those Lessor's Increased Termination Assumptions which have proved to be incorrect. The Lessor shall notify PPC as soon as reasonably practicable after the calculation of the highest Revised Lessor's Increased Termination Sum.

Annex A

Prime Liquid Assets Formula

Subject to the proviso below, the cost of compliance with existing requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or/and any other authority which replaces all or any of their functions) affecting UK clearing banks generally for the purpose of this transaction will be calculated, save where stated below, in relation to each period over which LIBOR is compounded in the Agreement (each an "Interest Payment Period") by reference to the circumstances existing on the first day of each Interest Payment Period, in accordance with the following formula:

A B +D (B - E) +C × 0.01 per cent. per annum = PLA Costs
100 - (A+D)

Where.:

A: is the percentage of eligible liabilities which Lloyds TSB Bank plc ("the Bank") is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements (above any stated minimum).
B: is the percentage rate per annum at which Sterling deposits are offered to the Bank for the relevant Interest Period (or remainder thereof) or three months whichever is the shorter in the London Interbank Market at or about 11.00 a.m. for an amount equivalent to, or comparable with (in the judgement of the Bank), the relevant amount in respect of which LIBOR is being determined.
C: is the amount of Sterling per £1,000,000 of the fee base of an authorised institution payable to the Financial Services Authority per annum (disregarding any minimum fee payable under the Fee Regulations)
D: is the percentage of eligible liabilities which the Bank is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing special deposits with the Bank of England (above any stated minimum).
E: is the lower of B and the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Bank on interest-bearing special deposits.

1: The percentages used in A, D and E above shall be those required to be maintained on the first day of each Interest Period.
2: In the application of the above formula A, B, D and E will be included in the formula as figures to 4 decimal places and not as percentages e.g. if A = 0.5% and B = 12%. AB will be calculated as 0.5 × 12 and not as 0.5% × 12%.
3: Calculations will be made on the basis of a 365 day year.
4: A negative result obtained by subtracting E from B shall be taken as zero.
5: If the resulting figure is positive then the rate of interest payable shall be rounded up to the nearest whole multiple of one-thirty-second of one percent (1/32%) per annum.

Provided that, if whether because of a change in circumstances (including the imposition of alternative or additional official requirements) or otherwise the Bank determines the foregoing formula or any element thereof is no longer appropriate, the Lessor is entitled to specify another formula (or any element thereof) which would properly cover the Bank's cost of compliance with the then current requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority affecting United Kingdom clearing banks.

Schedule 3

The Haewene Brim Equipment—Topsides Facilities Description

The "FPSO topsides" are the facilities that perform the oil and gas processing, provide the main utilities required for such processing and the auxiliary system supporting the production.

The topsides will perform the above duties whilst some utilities are supplied from the Haewene Brim Hull machinery.

The topsides comprise following duties:

•: Two stage 3 phase Crude oil separation system plus test separator
•: Gas treatment and 4 stages of compression with dehydration facilities utilising a Tri Ethylene Glycol system (produced gas is being re-injected in the reservoir to stimulate oil recovery and minimise emission)
•: Produced water will be treated via centrifugal hydro-cyclones, treatment through slop tanks is available for back-up purposes
•: Power generation
•: Process supporting utilities including:
•: a closed loop flare system, which is only ignited when the flare system is activated
•: open and closed drain systems collecting fluids for recycling and safe disposal overboard within the Montreal Protocol Limitations
•: a chemical injection package, provided for processing chemicals
•: Process control system

Currently feasibility studies and Front End Engineering Design is being executed to enable the Field Contractor to judge the feasibility of integrating a seawater injection system to the topsides.

The existing topsides facilities are pre-assembled skid mounted modules or PAU's which have been installed on supporting stools integrated with the tanker hull structure.

Connection to the xxxxx is being established by means of a STP (Submerged Turret Production) Buoy, which allows the vessel to weathervane. Subsea and topsides emergency shutdown valves are operated by a dedicated hydraulic package. Marine thrusters and a dynamic positioning system is available to improve station keeping and heading control.

The Process Control system is based on a DCS system. The DCS allows the control room Operations personnel to communicate with the topside facilities from remote.

The safety and automation system (SAS) provided by Kongsberg Simrad covers both marine and topsides incorporating:

•: Fire and gas detection
•: CO2
•: Deluge
•: Emergency shutdown
•: Process shutdown etc.
•: Vessel management e.g. ballast, bilge and cargo transfer.

The Haewene Brim Equipment is more particularly described in the Sale Agreement.
