SECTION 5 - COSTS OF UTILISATION

8		Interest
8.1		Calculation of interest
		The rate of interest on the Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:
		(a)	Margin;
		(b)	LIBOR; and
		(c)	Mandatory Cost, if any.
8.2		Payment of interest
		The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on the Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than three months, on the dates falling at three monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period).
8.3		Default interest
8.3.1		If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document (other than the Hedging Contract) on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which, subject to clause 8.3.2 below, is 2% higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted the Loan for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing in accordance with this clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the Agent.
8.3.2		If any overdue amount consists of all or part of the Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to the Loan or the relevant part of it:
		(a)	the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to the Loan; and
		(b)	the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be 2% higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.
8.3.3		Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.
8.4		Notification of rates of interest
		The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrowers of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.
9		Interest Periods

9.1.2		Each Selection Notice is irrevocable and must be delivered to the Agent by the Borrowers not later than 11:00 a.m. three Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period.
9.1.3		If the Borrowers fail to deliver a Selection Notice to the Agent in accordance with clause 9.1.2, the relevant Interest Period will subject to clause 9.2 (Interest Periods overrunning Repayment Dates), be three months.
9.1.4		Subject to this clause 9, the Borrowers may select an Interest Period of three, six, nine or 12 months or any other period agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent (on the instructions of all the Lenders).

9.2		Interest Periods overrunning Repayment Dates
		If the Borrowers select an Interest Period for an Advance which would overrun any later Repayment Date for that Advance, such Advance shall be divided into parts corresponding to the amounts by which such Advance is scheduled to be reduced under clause 6.2 (Scheduled repayment of Facility) on each of the Repayment Dates falling during such Interest Period (each of which shall have a separate Interest Period ending on the relevant Repayment Date) and to the balance of such Advance (which shall have the Interest Period selected by the Borrowers).

10.2		Market disruption
10.2.1		If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to the Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of the Loan for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:
		(a)	the Margin;
		(b)	the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and
		(c)	the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s participation in the Loan.
10.2.2		In this Agreement “Market Disruption Event” means that:
		(a)	no Screen Rate is quoted and two or more of the Reference Banks do not, before 1.00pm (London time) on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, provide quotations to the Agent in order to determine LIBOR; or

32

		(b)	at least one Banking Day before the start of an Interest Period, a Bank or Banks whose total participations in the Loan amount to 50% or more of the Loan (or, if an Advance has not yet been made, Commitments together amounting to 50% or more of the Total Commitments) notify the Agent that LIBOR fixed by the Agent would not accurately reflect the cost to that Lender or those Lenders of funding their respective participations in the Loan or their respective Commitments (or any part of them) during the Interest Period in the London Interbank Market at or about 11.00am (London time) on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period; or
		(c)	at least one Banking Day before the start of an Interest Period, the Agent is notified by a Lender or Lenders that for any reason it is unable to obtain Dollars in the London Interbank Market in order to fund its participation in the Loan (or any part of it) during the Interest Period.
10.3		Alternative basis of interest or funding
10.3.1		If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or Borrowers so require, the Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. If no alternative rate of interest is agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent, the rate specified under clause 10.2.1 (Market Disruption) shall be applicable.
10.3.2		Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to clause 10.3.1 above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders be binding on all Parties.
10.4		Break Costs
10.4.1		The Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of the Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrowers on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for the Loan or Unpaid Sum or relevant part of it.
10.4.2		Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.
11		Fees
11.1		Commitment commission

11.1.2		The Borrowers shall pay the accrued commitment commission on the last day of the period of three months commencing on the start date, on the last day of each successive period of three months thereafter until and on the earlier of (a) the Last Availability Date and (b) the final Utilisation Date and, if cancelled in full, on the cancelled amount of the relevant Lender’s Commitment at the time the cancellation is effective.
11.2		Arrangement fee
		The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent (for the distribution to the Arrangers) a non-refundable arrangement fee in the amount and at the times agreed in a Fee Letter.

The Recipient will promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which it reasonably determines relates to the VAT charged on that supply.

		(b)	that Charterer has not, on or before the date falling 18 months prior to the expiry of the Charter or the Replacement Charter of that Ship by effluxion of time, exercised its

50

			option to extend the relevant Charter or the relevant Replacement Charter for the First Option Period (as defined in that Charter or, as the case may be, Replacement Charter),
		then, on or shortly after each Excess Cash Calculation Period, the Agent shall calculate the Excess Cash for that Excess Cash Calculation Period. The Agent shall make such calculation by reference to any information, documents, facts or data available to the Agent at that time, whether pursuant to the provisions of the Finance Documents or otherwise.

		Except with approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, the relevant Owner will not sell, or agree to, transfer, abandon or otherwise dispose of the Ship or any share or interest in it.
20.3		Manager
		A manager of the Ship shall not be appointed unless that manager and the terms of its appointment are approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) and it has delivered a duly executed Manager’s Undertaking to the Security Agent. Once approved, no material variations may be agreed to the terms of appointment of the manager without approval (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any assignment or novation of the terms of appointment without approval shall constitute a material variation).
20.4		Copy of Mortgage on board
		A properly certified copy of the Ship’s Mortgage shall be kept on board the Ship with its papers and shown to anyone having business with the Ship which might create or imply any commitment or Security Interest over or in respect of the Ship (other than a lien for crew’s wages and salvage) and to any representative of the Agent or the Security Agent.
20.5		Notice of Mortgage
		A framed printed notice of the relevant Mortgage shall be prominently displayed in the navigation room and in the Master’s cabin of the Ship. The notice must be in plain type and read as follows:
“NOTICE OF MORTGAGE

20.6		Conveyance on default

52

20.7		Chartering

		(b)	capable of lasting more than 12 calendar months;
		(c)	on terms as to payment or amount of hire which are materially less beneficial to it than the terms which at that time could reasonably be expected to be obtained on the open market for vessels of the same age and type as the Ship under charter commitments of a similar type and period; or
		(d)	to an Affiliate.
20.8		Sharing of Earnings
		Except with approval, the relevant Owner shall not enter into any arrangement under which its Earnings from the Ship may be shared with anyone else.

		The relevant Owner’s Earnings from the Ship shall be paid in the way required by the Ship’s Deed of Covenant and the Ship’s Charter Assignment. If any Earnings are held by brokers or other agents, they shall be paid to the Security Agent, if it requires this after the Earnings have become payable to it under the Ship’s Deed of Covenant and the Ship’s Charter Assignment.
20.10		Variations
		Except with approval:
		(a)	the Building Contract shall not be varied and the specification of the Ship shall not be materially varied (and, for the avoidance of doubt, variations requiring approval shall include, but shall not be limited to, any assignment or novation of the Building Contract, any variation which might reasonably be expected to delay the delivery of the Ship beyond the Last Availability Date or put at risk the delivery of the Ship to the Charterer or any variation to alter the circumstances in which the Building Contract may be cancelled, terminated or suspended); and
		(b)	the specification of the Ship will not be changed in a substantial way (and for the avoidance of doubt, substantial changes requiring approval shall include, but shall not be limited to, any variation which alters the intended type, commercial use, purpose or trading capacity of the Ship or materially reduces the Ship’s anticipated value when completed or impairs the intended use under the Charter or, as the case may be, the Replacement Charter).
		For this purpose, ordering any extras, additions or alterations will be a substantial change and a material variation if their cost (or if the aggregate cost of the proposed work together with the cost of any additional work already ordered or change of specification already agreed) will alter the Contract Price by a cumulative amount greater than 5% of the Delivery Price.
21		Condition and operation of Ship
		Each Borrower undertakes that this clause 21 will be complied with in relation to each Ship throughout the relevant Ship’s Mortgage Period.

53

21.4		Third party owned equipment
		Except with approval, equipment owned by a third party shall not be installed on the Ship, unless it can be removed without risk of causing damage to the structure or fabric of the Ship or without incurring significant expense.
21.5		Maintenance of class; compliance with laws
		The Ship’s class shall be the relevant Classification with the relevant Classification Society and neither its Classification nor its Classification Society shall be changed without approval and there must be no material overdue recommendations.

The Agent shall be given reasonable advance notice of any intended drydocking of the Ship (whatever the purpose of that drydocking). The relevant Owner shall bear and reimburse to the Agent, where incurred by the Agent, all costs and expenses of any such inspection.
21.8		Prevention of arrest

21.9		Release from arrest
		The relevant Owner shall use its reasonable endeavours that the Ship, its Earnings and Insurances shall promptly within 15 days (or such longer period as may be approved) be released from any arrest, detention, attachment or levy, and that any legal process against the

54

		Ship shall be promptly within 15 days (or such longer period as may be approved) discharged, by whatever action is required to achieve that release or discharge.
21.10		Information about Ship
		The Agent shall promptly be given any information which it may reasonably require about the Ship or its employment, position, use or operation, including details of towages and salvages, and copies of all its charter commitments entered into by or on behalf of any Borrower, GasLog or any Manager, provided that any information so requested and supplied which pertains to the relevant Charter or the relevant Replacement Charter shall be held by the Agent and the other Finance Parties on a confidential basis.

		(a)	the wages and allotments and the insurance and pension contributions of the Ship’s crew are being promptly and regularly paid;
		(b)	all deductions from its crew’s wages in respect of any applicable Tax liability are being properly accounted for; and

21.14		Repairers’ liens
		Except with approval, the Ship shall not be put into any other person’s possession for work to be done on the Ship if the cost of that work will exceed or is likely to exceed the Major Casualty

55

		Amount for such Ship unless the relevant Owner has established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent that it has sufficient reserves to pay for the cost of such work.
21.15		Codes
		The Ship and the persons responsible for its operation shall at all times comply with the requirements of any applicable code or prescribed procedures required to be observed by the Ship or in relation to its operation under any applicable law or regulation (including but not limited to those currently known as the ISM Code and the ISPS Code). The Agent shall promptly be informed of:

21.18		War zones
		The Ship may enter or remain in any zone which has been declared a war zone by any government entity or the Ship’s war risk insurers, subject to any requirements of the Ship’s insurers necessary to ensure that the Ship remains properly insured and complies with any requirements (including any requirement for the payment of extra insurance premiums) which the insurers specify.
22		Insurance
		Each Borrower undertakes that this clause 22 shall be complied with in relation to each Ship and its Insurances throughout the Mortgage Period.

56

22.1		Insurance terms
		In this clause 22:
		“excess risks” means the proportion (if any) of claims for general average, salvage and salvage charges not recoverable under the hull and machinery insurances of a vessel in consequence of the value at which the vessel is assessed for the purpose of such claims exceeding its insured value.
		“excess war risk P&I cover” means cover for claims only in excess of amounts recoverable under the usual war risk cover including (but not limited to) hull and machinery, crew and protection and indemnity risks.
		“hull cover” means insurance cover against the risks identified in clause 22.2(a).
		“minimum hull cover” means, in relation to a Ship, an amount, which when aggregated with the insured amounts of each of the other Ships that have been delivered, is equal at the relevant time to the higher of (a) the aggregate Security Value of the Ships as most recently determined in accordance with clause 23 (Minimum Security Value) and (b) 120% of the aggregate of the Loan and the Hedging Exposure at such time.
		“P&I risks” means the usual risks (including liability for oil pollution, excess war risk P&I cover) covered by a protection and indemnity association which is a member of the International Group of protection and indemnity associations (or, if the International Group ceases to exist, any other leading protection and indemnity association or other leading provider of protection and indemnity insurance) (including, without limitation, the proportion (if any) of any collision liability not covered under the terms of the hull cover).
22.2		Coverage required
		The Ship shall at all times be insured:
		(a)	against fire and usual marine risks (including excess risks) and war risks (including war protection and indemnity risks and terrorism risks) on an agreed value basis, for at least its minimum hull cover and no less than 80% of the agreed insurable value;
		(b)	against P&I risks for the highest amount then available in the insurance market for vessels of similar age, size and type as the Ship (but, in relation to liability for oil pollution, for an amount of not less than $1,000,000,000) and a freight, demurrage and defence cover;
		(c)	against such other risks and matters which the Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders) notifies it that it considers reasonable for a prudent shipowner or operator to insure against at the time of that notice; and
		(d)	on terms which comply with the other provisions of this clause 22.
22.3		Placing of cover
		The insurance coverage required by clause 22.2 (Coverage required) shall be:
		(a)	in the name of the Ship’s Owner and (in the case of the Ship’s hull cover) no other person (other than the Security Agent if required by it) (unless such other person is approved and, if so required by the Agent, has duly executed and delivered a first priority assignment of its interest in the Ship’s Insurances to the Security Agent in an approved form and provided such supporting documents and opinions in relation to that assignment as the Agent requires);

57

		(b)	if the Agent so requests, in the joint names of the Ship’s Owner and Security Agent (and, to the extent reasonably practicable in the insurance market, without liability on the part of the Security Agent for premiums or calls);
		(c)	in dollars or another approved currency;
		(d)	arranged through approved brokers or direct with approved insurers or protection and indemnity or war risks associations; and
		(e)	on approved terms and with approved insurers or associations.
22.4		Deductibles
		The aggregate amount of any excess or deductible under the Ship’s hull cover shall not exceed $1,000,000 without the Agent’s approval.
22.5		Mortgagee’s insurance
		(a)	The Borrower shall promptly reimburse to the Agent the cost (as conclusively certified by the Agent) of taking out and keeping in force in respect of the Ship and the other Ships on approved terms, or in considering or making claims under a mortgagee’s interest insurance and a mortgagee’s additional perils (all P&I risks) cover for the benefit of the Finance Parties for an amount of 120% of the Loan; and
		(b)	any other insurance cover which the Agent reasonably requires in respect of any Finance Party’s interests and potential liabilities (but not with respect to loss of hire of the Ship) (whether as mortgagee of the Ship or beneficiary of the Security Documents).
22.6		Fleet liens, set off and cancellations
		If the Ship’s hull cover also insures other vessels, the Security Agent shall either be given an undertaking in approved terms by the brokers or (if such cover is not placed through brokers or the brokers do not, under any applicable laws or insurance terms, have such rights of set off and cancellation) the relevant insurers that the brokers or (if relevant) the insurers will not:
		(a)	set off against any claims in respect of the Ship any premiums due in respect of any of such other vessels insured (other than the other Borrowers’ Ships); or
		(b)	cancel that cover because of non-payment of premiums in respect of such other vessels,
		or the Borrower shall ensure that hull cover for the Ship and any other Ship is provided under a separate policy from any other vessels.
22.7		Payment of premiums
		All premiums, calls, contributions or other sums payable in respect of the Insurances shall be paid punctually and the Agent shall be provided with all relevant receipts or other evidence of payment upon request.
22.8		Details of proposed renewal of Insurances
		At least 14 days before any of the Ship’s Insurances are due to expire, the Agent shall be told the names of the brokers, insurers and associations proposed to be used for the renewal of such Insurances and the amounts, risks and terms in, against and on which the Ship’s Insurances are proposed to be renewed.

23.5		Currency of valuation
		Valuations shall be provided by valuers in dollars or, if a valuer is of the view that the relevant type of vessel is generally bought and sold in another currency, in that other currency.

23.6		Basis of valuation
		Each valuation will be made:
		(a)	without physical inspection (unless required by the Agent);
		(b)	on the basis of a sale for prompt delivery for a price payable in full in cash on delivery at arm’s length on normal commercial terms between a willing buyer and a willing seller; and

23.7		Information required for valuation

The Agent shall respond promptly to any request by the Borrowers for approval of a broker nominated by the Borrowers. The Agent may at any time by notice to the Borrowers withdraw any previous approval of a valuer for the purposes of future valuations. That valuer may not then be appointed to provide valuations unless it is once more approved.

23.12		Security shortfall
		If at any time the Security Value is less than the Minimum Value, the Agent may, and shall, if so directed by the Lenders, by notice to the Borrowers require such deficiency be remedied. The Borrowers shall then within 14 Business Days of receipt of such notice ensure that the Security Value equals or exceeds the Minimum Value. For this purpose, the Borrowers may:
		(a)		provide additional security over other approved assets by the Lenders in accordance with this clause 23; and/or
		(b)		cancel part of the Total Commitments under clause 7.2 (Voluntary cancellation) but on five Business Days’ notice instead of the period required by such clause; and/or
		(c)		prepay part of the Loan under clause 7.3 (Voluntary prepayment) but on five Business Days’ notice instead of the period required by such clause.
23.13		Creation of additional security
		The value of any additional security which the Borrowers offer to provide to remedy all or part of a shortfall in the amount of the Security Value will only be taken into account for the purposes of determining the Security Value if and when:
		(a)		that additional security, its value and the method of its valuation have been approved by the Lenders;
		(b)		a Security Interest over that security has been constituted in favour of the Security Agent in an approved form and manner;
		(c)		this Agreement has been unconditionally amended in such manner as the Agent requires in consequence of that additional security being provided; and
		(d)		the Agent, or its duly authorised representative, has received such documents and evidence it may require in relation to that additional security including documents and evidence of the type referred to in Schedule 3 in relation to that additional security and its execution and (if applicable) registration.
23.14		Security release
		If the Security Value shall at any time exceed the Minimum Value, and the Borrowers shall previously have provided further security to the Security Agent pursuant to clause 23.12 (Security Shortfall), the Security Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after notice from the Borrowers to do so and subject to being indemnified to its satisfaction against the cost of doing so, release any such further security specified by the Borrowers provided that the Agent is satisfied that, immediately following such release, the Security Value will equal or exceed the Minimum Value and no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

		(b)	shall (subject to clause 32.22 (Order of application)) be entitled (in its own name or in the names of nominees) to invest moneys from time to time forming part of the Trust Property or otherwise held by it as a consequence of any enforcement of the security constituted by any Finance Document which, in the reasonable opinion of the Security Agent, it would not be practicable to distribute immediately, by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Security Agent as the Security Agent may think fit without being under any duty to diversify the same and the Security Agent shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate or exchange rate fluctuations except for any loss arising from the Security Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct;
		(c)	may, in the conduct of its obligations under and in respect of the Security Documents (otherwise than in relation to its right to make any declaration, determination or decision), instead of acting personally, employ and pay any agent (whether being a lawyer or any other person) to transact or concur in transacting any business and to do or concur in doing any acts required to be done by the Security Agent (including the receipt and payment of money) and on the basis that (i) any such agent engaged in any profession or business shall be entitled to be paid all usual professional and other charges for business transacted and acts done by him or any partner or employee of his or her in connection with such employment and (ii) the Security Agent shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or

32.28		Finance Parties to provide information
		The other Finance Parties shall provide the Security Agent with such written information as it may reasonably require for the purposes of carrying out its duties and obligations under the Security Documents and, in particular, with such necessary directions in writing so as to enable the Security Agent to make the calculations and applications contemplated by clause 32.22 (Order of application) above and to apply amounts received under, and the proceeds of realisation of, the Security Documents as contemplated by the Security Documents, clause 35.5 (Partial payments) and clause 32.22 (Order of application).

		Each Finance Party acknowledges that pursuant to any enforcement action by the Security Agent (or a Receiver) carried out on the instructions of the Agent it may be desirable for the purpose of such enforcement and/or maximising the realisation of the Charged Property being enforced against, that any rights or claims of or by the Security Agent (for the benefit of the Finance Parties) and/or any Finance Parties against any Obligor and/or any Security Interest over any assets of any Obligor (in each case) as contained in or created by any Finance Document, other than such rights or claims or security being enforced, be released in order to facilitate such enforcement action and/or realisation and, notwithstanding any other provision of the Finance Documents, each Finance Party hereby irrevocably authorises the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Agent) to grant any such releases to the extent necessary to fully effect such enforcement action and realisation including, without limitation, to the extent necessary for such purposes to execute release documents in the name of and on behalf of the Finance Parties.

32.31		Additional trustees

		(b)	for the purpose of conforming with any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed; or

91

		conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Security Agent shall have power to remove any person so appointed. At the request of the Security Agent, the other parties to this Agreement shall forthwith execute all such documents and do all such things as may be required to perfect such appointment or removal and each such party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent in its name and on its behalf to do the same. Such a person shall accede to this Agreement as a Security Agent to the extent necessary to carry out their role on terms satisfactory to the Security Agent and (subject always to the provisions of this Agreement) have such trusts, powers, authorities, liabilities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Security Agent by this Agreement and the other Finance Documents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment (being no less onerous than would have applied to the Security Agent but for the appointment). The Security Agent shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such person if the Security Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such person.
32.32		Non-recognition of trust
		It is agreed by all the parties to this Agreement that:
		(a)	in relation to any jurisdiction the courts of which would not recognise or give effect to the trusts expressed to be constituted by this clause 32, the relationship of the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties shall be construed as one of principal and agent, but to the extent permissible under the laws of such jurisdiction, all the other provisions of this Agreement shall have full force and effect between the parties to this Agreement; and
		(b)	the provisions of this clause 32 insofar as they relate to the Security Agent in its capacity as trustee for the Finance Parties and the relationship between themselves and the Security Agent as their trustee may be amended by agreement between the other Finance Parties and the Security Agent. The Security Agent may amend all documents necessary to effect the alteration of the relationship between the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties and each such other party irrevocably authorises the Security Agent in its name and on its behalf to execute all documents necessary to effect such amendments.

33		Conduct of business by the Finance Parties

		(c)	oblige any Finance Party to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of Tax.
33.2		Finance Parties acting together
		Notwithstanding clause 2.2 (Finance Parties’ rights and obligations), if the Agent makes a declaration under clause 28.23.1 (Acceleration) the Agent shall, in the names of all the Finance Parties, take such action on behalf of the Finance Parties and conduct such negotiations with the Borrowers, any Obligors or any Subsidiaries of an Obligor and generally administer the Facility in accordance with the wishes of the Majority Lenders. All the Finance Parties shall be bound by the provisions of this clause and no Finance Party shall be entitled to take action independently against any Obligor or any of its assets without the prior consent of the Majority Lenders.

92

However (as between any Obligor and the Finance Parties) the relevant Obligor shall be entitled (and bound) to assume that such notice shall have been duly received by each Lender and that the relevant majority shall have been obtained to constitute Majority Lenders when notified to this effect by the Agent whether or not this is the case.
33.3.2		If, within ten Business Days of the Agent despatching to each Lender a notice requesting instructions (or confirmation of instructions) from the Lenders or the agreement of the Lenders to any amendment, modification, waiver, variation or excuse of performance for the purposes of, or in relation to, any of the Finance Documents, the Agent has not received a reply specifically giving or confirming or refusing to give or confirm the relevant instructions or, as the case may be, approving or refusing to approve the proposed amendment, modification, waiver, variation or excuse of performance, then (irrespective of whether such Lender responds at a later date) the Agent shall treat any Lender which has not so responded as having indicated a desire to be bound by the wishes of 66⅔% of those Lenders (measured in terms of the total Commitments of those Lenders) which have so responded.
33.3.3		For the purposes of clause 33.3.2, any Lender which notifies the Agent of a wish or intention to abstain on any particular issue shall be treated as if it had not responded.

33.4		Conflicts
33.4.1		Each Borrower acknowledges that any Arranger and its parent undertaking, subsidiary undertakings and fellow subsidiary undertakings (together an Arranger Group) may be providing debt finance, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other persons with which the Borrowers may have conflicting interests in respect of the Facility or otherwise.
33.4.2		No member of an Arranger Group shall use confidential information gained from any Obligor by virtue of the Facility or its relationships with any Obligor in connection with their performance of services for other persons. This shall not, however, affect any obligations that any member of an Arranger Group has as Agent in respect of the Finance Documents. The Borrowers also acknowledge that no member of an Arranger Group has any obligation to use or furnish to any Obligor information obtained from other persons for their benefit.
33.4.3		The terms parent undertaking, subsidiary undertaking and fellow subsidiary undertaking when used in this clause have the meaning given to them in sections 1161 and 1162 of the Companies Xxx 0000.
33.5		Replacement of a Defaulting Lender
33.5.1		The Borrowers may, at any time a Lender has become and continues to be a Defaulting Lender, by giving 20 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and such Lender:
		(a)	replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and to the extent permitted by law such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to clause 30 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; or

		(a)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the Agent;
		(b)	the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with clause 35 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and
		(c)	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the Sharing Payment) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with clause 35.5 (Partial payments).

		(b)	that Recovering Finance Party’s rights of subrogation in respect of any reimbursement shall be cancelled and the relevant Obligor will be liable to the reimbursing Lender for the amount so reimbursed.

34.5		Exceptions
34.5.1		This clause 34 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Obligor.
34.5.2		A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if:

SECTION 10 - ADMINISTRATION

35		Payment mechanics
35.1		Payments to the Agent
35.1.1		On each date on which an Obligor or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document (other than a Hedging Contract), that Obligor or Lender shall make the same available to the Agent (unless a contrary indication appears in a Finance Document) for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.
35.1.2		Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in a principal financial centre in a Participating Member State or London) with such bank as the Agent specifies.
35.2		Distributions by the Agent
		Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to clause 35.3 (Distributions to an Obligor) and clause 35.4 (Clawback) be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five Business Days’ notice with a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to euro, in the principal financial centre of a Participating Member State or London).
35.3		Distributions to an Obligor
		The Agent may (with the consent of the Obligor or in accordance with clause 36 (Set-off)) apply any amount received by it for that Obligor in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Obligor under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.
35.4		Clawback
35.4.1		Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.
35.4.2		If the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.
35.5		Partial payments
35.5.1		If the Agent receives a payment for application against amounts due under the Finance Documents that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by an Obligor under those Finance Documents, the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Obligor under those Finance Documents in the following order:

			(a)	first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses (ignoring any fees payable under clause 11 (Fees)) of the Agent, the Security Agent or the Arrangers under those Finance Documents;
			(b)	secondly, in or towards payment to the Lenders pro rata of any amount owing to the Lenders under clause 32.10 (Lenders’ indemnity to the Agent) including any amount

96

				resulting from the indemnity to the Security Agent under clause 32.20.1 (Application of certain clauses to Security Agent);
			(c)	thirdly, in or towards payment to the Lenders pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under those Finance Documents;
			(d)	fourthly, in or towards payment to the Lenders pro rata of any principal which is due but unpaid under those Finance Documents; and
			(e)	fifthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under (a) the Hedging Contracts and (b) any other Finance Documents.

35.5.2		The Agent shall, if so directed by all the Lenders and the Hedging Providers, vary the order set out in paragraphs (b) to (e) of clause 35.5.1.
35.5.3		Clauses 35.5.1 and 35.5.2 above will override any appropriation made by an Obligor.
35.6		No set-off by Obligors
		All payments to be made by an Obligor under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim.
35.7		Business Days
35.7.1		Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).
35.7.2		During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the original due date.
35.8		Currency of account
35.8.1		Subject to clauses 35.8.2 to 35.8.3, dollars is the currency of account and payment for any sum due from an Obligor under any Finance Document.
35.8.2		A repayment of all or part of the Loan or an Unpaid Sum and each payment of interest shall be made in dollars on its due date.
35.8.3		Each payment in respect of the amount of any costs, expenses or Taxes or other losses shall be made in dollars and, if they were incurred in a currency other than dollars, the amount payable under the Finance Documents shall be the equivalent in dollars of the relevant amount in such other currency on the date on which it was incurred.
35.8.4		All moneys received or held by the Security Agent or by a Receiver under a Security Document in a currency other than dollars may be sold for dollars and the Obligor which executed that Security Document shall indemnify the Security Agent against the full cost in relation to the sale. Neither the Security Agent nor such Receiver will have any liability to that Obligor in respect of any loss resulting from any fluctuation in exchange rates after the sale.
35.9		Disruption to Payment Systems etc.
		If either the Agent determines (in its discretion) that a Disruption Event has occurred or the Agent is notified by the Borrowers that a Disruption Event has occurred:

(a) the Agent may, and shall if requested to do so by the Borrowers, consult with the Borrowers with a view to agreeing with the Borrowers such changes to the operation or administration of the Facility as the Agent may deem necessary in the circumstances;

97

			(b)	the Agent shall not be obliged to consult with the Borrowers in relation to any changes mentioned in paragraph (a) above if, in its opinion, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances and, in any event, shall have no obligation to agree to such changes;
			(c)	the Agent may consult with the Finance Parties in relation to any changes mentioned in paragraph (a) above but shall not be obliged to do so if, in its opinion, it is not practicable to do so in the circumstances;
			(d)	any such changes agreed upon by the Agent and the Borrowers shall (whether or not it is finally determined that a Disruption Event has occurred) be binding upon the Parties as an amendment to (or, as the case may be, waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents notwithstanding the provisions of clause 42 (Amendments and grant of waivers);
			(e)	the Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever (including, without limitation for negligence, gross negligence or any other category of liability whatsoever but not including any claim based on the fraud of the Agent) arising as a result of its taking, or failing to take, any actions pursuant to or in connection with this clause 35.9; and
			(f)	the Agent shall notify the Finance Parties of all changes agreed pursuant to paragraph (d) above.

36		Set-off
		A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Obligor, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

Schedule 6
Mandatory Cost Formulae

1	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.
2	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.
3	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.
4	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows:
	(a)	in relation to a sterling Loan:
		AB + C(B – D) + E x 0.01		per cent. per annum
		100 – (A + C)
	(b)	in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling:
		E x 0.01	per cent. per annum.
		300
	Where:
A.	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender 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.
B.	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost) and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in clause 8.3.1 (Default interest) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.
C.	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.
D.	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.
E.	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.
5	For the purposes of this Schedule:

119

	(a)	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;
	(b)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
	(c)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and
	(d)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.
6	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e., five per cent. will be included in the formula as five and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.
7	If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.
8	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:
	(a)	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and
	(b)	any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.
	Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
9	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.
10	The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.
11	The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.
12	Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

120

13 The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.
