1

(100%) of the BpiFAE Premium, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Maximum Loan Amount.

(C) Subject to the terms and conditions set out herein, the Loan proceeds (but for this purpose, excluding any deemed advance of the Deferred Tranche) will be provided to (i) the Builder for the purpose of paying a portion of the Cash Contract Price in connection with the Borrower’s purchase of the Purchased Vessel, (ii) the Borrower for the purpose of reimbursing it for Borrower-Paid Change Orders and the amounts expended by it in respect of the Non-Yard Costs and (iii) BpiFAE for the purpose of paying the BpiFAE Premium.

5. REPAYMENTS, PREPAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES

5.1 Repayments

(a) Subject to paragraph (b) below (which it is acknowledged that as of the Deferred Tranche Effective Date, did not apply), the Borrower shall repay (i) the Loan (but for this purpose excluding the Deferred Tranche) in the installments and on the dates set out in Part A of Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) and (ii) the Deferred Tranche, in the installments and on the dates set out in Part B of Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) (in each case as such Schedule B was substituted on the Deferred Tranche Effective Date).

(b) (i) Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) has been prepared as at the date of this Agreement on the assumptions that:

(A) the Disbursement Date will be the Original Scheduled Delivery Date;

(B) the principal amount of the Loan advanced under this Agreement will be the Maximum Loan Amount; and

(C) the Loan will not be prepaid in whole or in part.

(ii) If any of these assumptions proves to be incorrect then, as soon as reasonably practicable, the Facility Agent shall, in consultation with the Borrower and the Funding Entity, prepare a substitute Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) on the same basis as the existing Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) but reflecting the correct Disbursement Date, amount of the Loan advanced or, as the case may be, principal amount of the Loan outstanding after any such prepayment.

(iii) The Facility Agent shall provide the Lenders, the Borrower and the Funding Entity with a copy of the substitute Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) promptly following its preparation and in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the first or, as applicable, next Repayment Date.

(iv) Upon the receipt by the Lenders and the Borrower of the substitute Schedule B (Repayment Schedule), subject to there being no manifest error therein, such substitute schedule will replace the existing Schedule B (Repayment Schedule) and all repayments of the Loan will, subject to the further application of clause (i) above, be made in accordance with the substitute Schedule B (Repayment Schedule).

40

(c)

(i) If with respect to any date on which an amount of principal and/or interest is due and payable by the Borrower under this Agreement (the “EUR Amount”) and an amount of principal and/or interest is due and payable by the Borrower under the USD Facility Agreement (the “USD Amount”), the Borrower becomes aware that it will be making a payment that is not sufficient to pay in full both the EUR Amount and the USD Amount (a “Short Payment”), the Borrower shall inform the Facility Agent and the USD Facility Agent thereof in advance in writing and shall share the Short Payment such that each of the Facility Agent and the USD Facility Agent receives the payment to be made to it under each of the Agreement and the USD Facility Agreement on a pro rata and pari-passu basis as provided in paragraph (ii) below.

(ii) Such pro rata and pari-passu payment shall be made by reference to the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan and the then outstanding principal amount of the loan under the USD Facility Agreement (after converting the same into EUR at the Applicable Spot Rate on that date).

(iii) The Borrower only (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not the Finance Parties or the USD Finance Parties) shall be responsible for the ongoing monitoring of the pro- rata and pari-passu payment share so that any Short Payment is made on a pro rata and pari-passu basis between the Lenders and the USD Facility Lenders. If the Borrower fails to comply with the provisions of this Clause 5.1(c), no Finance Party shall be required to repay to the Borrower or to any USD Facility Finance Party any amount received from the Borrower as payment for the EUR Amount or the USD Amount, as the case may be.

(iv) On the date on which the Borrower makes a Short Payment it shall provide reasonable written details to each of the Facility Agent and the USD Facility Agent of (A) the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan and the then outstanding principal amount of the loan under the USD Facility Agreement (converted into EUR at the Applicable Spot Rate on that date) and (B) how it calculated the apportionment of the Short Payment, including a screen shot of the Applicable Spot Rate.

(v) The provisions of this Clause 5.1(c) are not to be regarded as a waiver by any Finance Party of any failure by the Borrower to pay in full any EUR Amount on the relevant due date and the compliance by the Borrower with the provisions of this Clause 5.1(c) will not in any way preclude the application of the provisions of Clause 10.1(a) (Non-Payment of Obligations) if the full amount of the relevant payment is not made within the applicable remedy period.

(d) No amounts repaid by the Borrower under this Agreement may be reborrowed by the Borrower.

41

(e) Upon the occurrence of the Starting Date of Repayment (but for this purpose excluding the Starting Date of Repayment in respect of any part of the Deferred Tranche) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Facility Agent shall notify such date to the Borrower and the USD Facility Agent.

5.2 Prepayment

(a) The Borrower:

(i) may, from time to time on any Business Day, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan; provided that:

(ii) shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the repayment of the installments of the Loan pursuant to Clause 10.2 (Action if Bankruptcy) or Clause 10.3 (Action if Other Event of Default) or the mandatory prepayment of the Loan pursuant to Clause 11.2 (Mandatory Prepayment), repay the Loan or, in the case of a Mandatory Prepayment Event arising pursuant to Clauses 11.1(o) (Dividend or New Debt) or 11.1(p) (Breach of Principles), repay the Deferred Tranche, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan or the Deferred Tranche (as applicable) and, other than in the case of a Mandatory Prepayment Event arising pursuant to Clauses 11.1(o) (Dividend or New Debt) or 11.1(p) (Breach of Principles), all other Obligations payable to the Finance

42

Parties.

(b) Each prepayment of the Loan (including any prepayment of the Deferred Tranche) made in accordance with this Clause 5.2 (Prepayment) shall be subject to the payment of any Funding Losses but otherwise without any premium or penalty, provided that no Funding Losses shall be payable in connection with any such prepayment if the Floating Rate applies and such prepayment is made on the last day of an Interest Period.

(c) No amounts prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to this Clause 5.2 (Prepayment) may be reborrowed by the Borrower.

(ii) The drawn portion of the Deferred Tranche shall accrue interest from the first Repayment Date to fall during the Advanced Loan Deferral Period (or, in the case of a further advance in respect of the Deferred Tranche after the first advance and in respect of that further advance, from the relevant Repayment Date in respect of the Loan to which that further advance of the Deferred Tranche relates) to the date of repayment or prepayment of the Deferred Tranche in full to the Lenders at the Floating Rate.

43

the Repayment Dates set out in the relevant part of Schedule B (Repayment Schedule). The Loan (including any drawn portion of the Deferred Tranche) shall bear interest on a day-to-day basis during each Interest Period at the interest rate determined hereunder as being applicable to the Loan.

(c) Post-Maturity Rates

After the date on which any principal amount of the Loan is due and payable (whether on any Repayment Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary Obligation of the Borrower shall have become due and payable (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment Fee or any fee payable under any Fee Letter), the Borrower shall pay on first demand, but only to the extent permitted by relevant and applicable law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts for each day during the period of such default at a rate per annum equal to:

(i) with respect to any Funded Loan Portion, the sum of the Fixed Rate or Floating Rate, as applicable, plus two per cent. (2.0%) per annum; and

(i) Without prejudice to paragraph (c) above or clause (ii) below, interest accrued on the Loan shall be payable, without duplication, on:

(A) each Repayment Date;

(B) the date of any prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on the Loan (but only on the principal so prepaid); and

(C) with respect to any portion of the Loan the repayment of which is accelerated pursuant to Clause 10.2 (Action if Bankruptcy) or Clause

44

  10.3 (Action if Other Event of Default), immediately upon such acceleration.

(ii) Interest accrued on the Loan or any other monetary Obligation arising under or in connection with this Agreement after the date such amount is due and payable (whether upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.

5.4 Commitment Fee

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on the daily Available Commitment of each Lender equal to:

(i) zero point fifteen per cent. (0.15%) per annum for the period commencing on (and including) the date hereof and ending on (but excluding) the earlier of the date falling two (2) years prior to the Original Scheduled Delivery Date (the “First Calculation Period End Date”, being 29 April 2014) and the Commitments Termination Date;

(ii) if the Commitments Termination Date has not occurred prior to the First Calculation Period End Date, zero point twenty five per cent. (0.25%) per annum for the period commencing on (and including) the First Calculation Period End Date and ending on (but excluding) the earlier of the date falling one (1) year prior to the Original Scheduled Delivery Date (the “Second Calculation Period End Date”, being 29 April 2015) and the Commitments Termination Date; and

(iii) if the Commitments Termination Date has not occurred prior to the Second Calculation Period End Date, zero point thirty per cent. (0.30%) per annum for the period commencing on (and including) the Second Calculation Period End Date and ending on (but excluding) the Commitments Termination Date.

(b) The Commitment Fee shall be payable by the Borrower to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender in arrear as from the date of this Agreement on (i) the date falling six (6) months after the date hereof, (ii) the last day of each six (6) month period thereafter ending prior to the Commitments Termination Date and (iii) the Commitments Termination Date.

(c) The other provisions of this Clause 5.4 shall not (but without prejudice to any Commitment Fee that has been paid by the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the Deferred Tranche Effective Date) apply to any Lender’s Commitment in respect of the Deferred Tranche, in respect of which the Borrower agrees to pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee on the basis, and at the times, set out in a Fee Letter to be entered into on or about the date of Amendment and Restatement No.4.

45

5.5 Other Fees

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Facility Agent the fees set forth in the Fee Letters on the dates and in the amounts set forth therein.

5.6 Calculation Basis

All interest and fees under the Finance Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment Fee and any fee payable under any Fee Letter, and excluding any “flat” fees) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year comprised of three hundred and sixty (360) days.

5.7 Currency

All payments by the Borrower under the Finance Documents shall be made in Euros. The Borrower waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Finance Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.

6. EURIBOR-RELATED PROVISIONS; FUNDING LOSSES; INCREASED CAPITAL COSTS; TAXES; RESERVE COSTS; PAYMENTS; ETC.

6.1 EURIBOR Determination; Replacement Reference Banks

(a) Where the Floating Rate applies in respect of any Funded Loan Portion (including any drawn portion of the Deferred Tranche), the determination of EURIBOR made by the Funding Entity pursuant to the Funding Agreement as notified to the Borrower by the Facility Agent shall be applicable for the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) In respect of any Unfunded Loan Portion, the Facility Agent shall obtain from each Reference Bank timely information for the purpose of determining EURIBOR in the event that EURIBOR is to be determined pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition thereof. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall fail to furnish in a timely manner such information to the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent shall determine EURIBOR on the basis of the information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks. If a Reference Bank ceases for any reason to be able and willing to act as such, the Facility Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders and after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders (and, if the Funding Agreement is then in effect, subject to the Funding Entity’s approval), appoint a replacement for such Reference Bank reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, and such replaced Reference Bank shall cease to be a Reference Bank hereunder. The Facility Agent shall furnish to the Borrower and to the Lenders each determination of EURIBOR made by reference to quotations of interest rates furnished by Reference Banks.

46

6.2 EURIBOR Lending Unlawful

If, after the date hereof, the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over any Lender or the Funding Entity asserts that it is unlawful for such Lender or the Funding Entity to make, continue or maintain the Loan (including the Deferred Tranche), its participation therein or the refinancing under the Funding Agreement (as applicable) bearing interest at a rate based on EURIBOR, then the obligation of such Lender or the Funding Entity, as the case may be, to make, continue or maintain its participation in the Loan or the refinancing under the Funding Agreement (as applicable) shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower, the Facility Agent and each other Lender (in the case of the Funding Entity, either directly or through the Funding Agents), forthwith be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, provided that such Lender’s obligation to make, continue and maintain its participation in the Loan hereunder shall be automatically converted into an obligation to make, continue and maintain its participation in the Loan bearing interest at a rate to be negotiated between such Lender and the Borrower (and, if the Funding Agreement is then in effect, approved by the Funding Entity) that is the equivalent of the sum of EURIBOR for the relevant Interest Period plus the Floating Rate Margin.

6.3 Market Disruption in respect of a Funded Loan Portion

(a) The provisions of paragraph (b) below shall apply in respect of any Funded Loan Portion (including in respect of any drawn portion of the Deferred Tranche) to which the Floating Rate applies.

(b) If the Funding Entity makes a claim pursuant to clause 13 (Modifications du Calcul des Intérêts) of the Funding Agreement, the Facility Agent shall promptly deliver the details of such claim to the Borrower and the Borrower shall pay promptly to the Facility Agent for onward payment to the Funding Entity the amount so claimed by the Funding Entity.

(c) Save for the claims of the Funding Entity referred to in paragraph (b) above, the Lenders shall not be entitled to make any claim for market disruption for Funded Loan Portions.

(d) The Facility Agent shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the Funding Entity the relevant supporting details, and solely if such details are provided by the Funding Entity shall they be provided to the Borrower.

6.4 Market Disruption in respect of an Unfunded Loan Portion

(a) The provisions of paragraph (b) below shall apply in respect of any Unfunded Loan Portion (including in respect of any drawn portion of the Deferred Tranche) to which the Floating Rate applies.

47

(b) If:

(i) at or about noon (Paris time) on the Quotation Date for the relevant Interest Period, the Screen Rate is not available and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Facility Agent to determine EURIBOR (for the purposes of paragraph (b) of such definition) for Euros for the relevant Interest Period; or

(ii) before close of business in Paris, France on the Quotation Date for the relevant Interest Period, the Facility Agent receives a duly evidenced notification from one or more Lenders whose aggregate participations in the Unfunded Loan Portion exceed forty two point five per cent. (42.5%) of the Loan (excluding the participation of any Lender who is participating in the Unfunded Loan Portion by reason of its funding under the Funding Agreement having been suspended, repudiated, terminated or cancelled, in whole or in part, due to its gross negligence or wilful misconduct (an “excluded Lender”) and subject to the respective participations of the other Lenders participating in the Unfunded Loan Portion being notionally and proportionally increased to account for such disqualification of the excluded Lender’s participation) that the cost to them of obtaining matching deposits in the European interbank market for the relevant Interest Period would be in excess of EURIBOR,

then in any such case the Facility Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and each of the Lenders together with copies of each of the notices and evidence provided to the Facility Agent pursuant to clause 6.4(b)(i) and/or 6.4(b)(ii) above (hereinafter called a “Market Disruption Notice”).

(c) Upon the issuance of a Market Disruption Notice pursuant to paragraph (b)(i) above, the rate of interest on any affected Lender’s participation in the Unfunded Loan Portion for the relevant Interest Period shall (after consultation with the Facility Agent and the other Lenders) be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of the Floating Rate Margin and the rate notified to the Facility Agent and the Borrower by such Lender as soon as practicable and in any event before the close of business in France on the second (2nd) Business Day after the Quotation Date, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Unfunded Loan Portion for the relevant Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select, the details of which shall be stated in that Lender’s notice; and

48

(d) Upon the issuance of a Market Disruption Notice pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii) above, the rate of interest on each affected Lender’s participation in the Unfunded Loan Portion for the relevant Interest Period shall (after consultation with the Facility Agent and the other Lenders) be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of the Floating Rate Margin and a rate that is the weighted average (in proportion to each affected Lender’s participation in the Unfunded Loan Portion) of the rates notified to the Facility Agent and the Borrower by each of the affected Lenders as soon as practicable and in any event before the close of business in France on the second (2nd) Business Day after the Quotation Date to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Unfunded Loan Portion for the relevant Interest Period from whatever source it may reasonably select, the details of which shall be stated in that Lender’s notice.

(e) If a Market Disruption Notice has been issued and the Borrower so requires, the Facility Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith for a period of not more than fifteen (15) Business Days with a view to agreeing upon a mutually satisfactory interest rate and interest period (or interest periods) to be substituted for those which would otherwise have applied under this Agreement. Any such agreed and approved interest rate and interest period (or interest periods) shall, with the prior consent of the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that no substitute basis is agreed upon pursuant to this paragraph (e) by the end of the fifteen (15) Business Day period, then the rate of interest for the Unfunded Loan Portion shall continue to be the rate otherwise determined in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) In the event that the circumstances described in paragraph (a) above shall extend beyond the end of the relevant Interest Period or any other interest period agreed pursuant to paragraph (d) above or shall occur in respect of any other Interest Period or other interest period, as the case may be, the procedures described in paragraphs (b), (c) and/or (e) above, as applicable, shall apply and shall be repeated as often as may be necessary and in respect of each Interest Period or other interest period affected by such circumstances.

6.5 Increased Loan Costs, etc.

(a) If, after the date hereof, a change in any applicable treaty, law, regulation or regulatory requirement or in the interpretation thereof or in its application to the Borrower, or the compliance by any Lender or the Funding Entity with any applicable direction, request, requirement or guideline (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or other authority, including any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority, insofar as it may be changed or imposed after the date hereof, shall:

(i) subject any Lender or the Funding Entity to any tax with respect to its participation in the Loan or any part thereof or the refinancing under the Funding Agreement or any part thereof (as applicable) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (other than taxation on overall net income and, to the extent such taxes are described in Clause 6.8 (Taxes), withholding taxes); or

(ii) change the basis of taxation to any Lender or the Funding Entity (other than a change in taxation on the overall net income of such Lender or the Funding Entity, as the case may be) of payments of principal or interest or any other payment due or to become due pursuant to this Agreement, the

49

		other Finance Documents and/or the Funding Agreement, as applicable; or
	(iii)	impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve or capital adequacy requirements (other than the increased capital costs described in Clause 6.7 (Increased Capital Costs) and the reserve costs described in Clause 6.9 (Reserve Costs)) or other banking or monetary controls or requirements which affect the manner in which a Lender or the Funding Entity shall allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder or under the Funding Agreement or require the making of any special deposits against or in respect of any assets or liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of, or loans by, such Lender or the Funding Entity (provided that such Lender or the Funding Entity, as the case may be, shall, unless prohibited by law, allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder or under the Funding Agreement, as applicable, in a manner which is consistent with its present treatment of the allocation of its capital resources); or

(iv) impose on any Lender or the Funding Entity any other condition affecting its participation in the Loan or the refinancing under the Funding Agreement (as applicable) or any part thereof,

and the result of any of the foregoing is either (A) to increase the cost to such Lender or the Funding Entity of making or maintaining its participation in the Loan or any part thereof or the refinancing under the Funding Agreement or any part thereof (as applicable), (B) to reduce the amount of any payment received by such Lender or the Funding Entity or its effective return hereunder or under the Funding Agreement (as applicable) or on its capital or (C) to cause such Lender or the Funding Entity to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder or the Funding Entity under the Funding Agreement, as applicable, then, in any such case, if such increase or reduction in the opinion of such Lender or the Funding Entity, as the case may be, materially affects the interests of such Lender or the Funding Entity, as applicable:

(I) solely with respect to the Lenders, such Lender shall notify the Facility Agent who shall then notify the Borrower of the occurrence of such event;

(II) solely with respect to the Funding Entity, the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower of the occurrence of such event; and

(III) in any such case, the Borrower shall forthwith upon such demand pay to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender or the Funding Entity, as the case may be, such amount as is necessary to compensate such Lender or the Funding Entity for such additional cost or such reduction and ancillary expenses, including taxes, incurred as a result of such adjustment.

(b) Any notice provided pursuant to paragraph (a)(I) or (II) above shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the event leading to such additional cost, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof and (ii) set forth the amount of such

50

additional cost and, with respect to the Funding Entity, shall be accompanied by a copy of any relevant notice and supporting documentation provided by the Funding Entity (and received by the Facility Agent, directly or through the Funding Agents) under clause 16.2 (Réclamations) of the Funding Agreement. If the Facility Agent (directly or through the Funding Agents) has not received such relevant notice and/or supporting documentation from the Funding Entity in accordance with the Funding Agreement, the Facility Agent (directly or through the Funding Agents) shall request the same from the Funding Entity for purposes of this paragraph (b).

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Funding Entity to demand compensation pursuant to this Clause 6.5 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Funding Entity’s, as applicable, right to demand such compensation.

6.6 Funding Losses

(a) The Borrower shall pay:

(i) all losses or expenses incurred by the Lenders in respect of an Unfunded Loan Portion; and

(ii) all losses or expenses incurred by the Funding Entity in respect of its funding of a Funded Loan Portion (including all xxxxx de rupture as such term is defined in the Funding Agreement),

in each such case which are incurred directly by reason of the liquidation or redeployment (at not less than a market rate) of deposits or other funds acquired or contracted to be acquired by such Lender or the Funding Entity or in un-winding, breaking, terminating, closing out, cancelling, substituting or replacing or modifying any such deposits; and

(iii) where the Fixed Rate applies, all losses and expenses pursuant to any hedging agreement or other swap or similar arrangements entered into for the purposes of or in connection with making, continuing to make or maintaining any portion of the principal amount of the Loan or pursuant to or in connection with the CIRR,

in any such case in the maximum amount specified in paragraph (c) below (“Funding Losses”) and in each case which are incurred by any Lender or the Funding Entity as a direct result of any of the following events (each a “Funding Losses Event”):

(A) any total or partial cancellation of the Commitments by or attributable to the Borrower if such cancellation is made or occurs later than the date on which the Borrower issues the Drawing Request (which has not been withdrawn pursuant to Clause 2.6 (Delayed Delivery));

(B) after the date on which the Borrower issues the Drawing Request, any failure

51

		of the Loan to be made in accordance with the Drawing Request, other than (I) if the Loan is made within five (5) Business Days of the Funding Date as contemplated by Clause 2.6 (Delayed Delivery) or (II) to the extent attributable to the relevant Lender’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct or the Funding Entity’s faute lourde or dol (as applicable);
	(C)	any prepayment by the Borrower of all or any part of the Loan for any reason whatsoever (whether voluntary, involuntary or mandatory, including following the acceleration of the Loan), except for:

(I) where the Floating Rate applies, any prepayment made on an Interest Payment Date; and

(II) irrespective of whether the Floating Rate or the Fixed Rate applies, any mandatory prepayment attributable solely to the fact that (I) the Funding Agreement is no longer in effect or (II) the BpiFAE Insurance Policy is no longer in full force and effect, is terminated or cancelled or is no longer valid, or it is suspended for more than six (6) months, in each case where the same is due to the faute lourde or dol of the relevant Lender;

(D) any payment not being made on its due date, including following acceleration of the Loan; or

	(E)	any prepayment not being made after a notice of prepayment has been provided to the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 5.2 (Prepayment) or any other clause of this Agreement.
	(b)	The Borrower shall make payment of all Funding Losses, on the later of the seventh (7th) Business Day after its receipt of a written notice of a Funding Losses Event from the Facility Agent (a “Funding Losses Notice”) and the effective date of the relevant Funding Losses Event, to the Facility Agent for the account of the Funding Entity and/or the relevant Lender, as applicable.

(c) The amount of the Funding Losses payable by the Borrower shall be:

(i) in respect of any Funded Loan Portion and the Funding Entity, the amount notified to the Funding Coordination Agent under clause 13.3(b) of the Funding Agreement and duly justified in accordance with clause 8.8(b) of the Funding Agreement, and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Funding Losses shall be payable to the Funding Entity (whether the Borrower has elected the Floating Rate or the Fixed Rate) in the case of a prepayment of the Loan on an Interest Payment Date;

(ii) in respect of any Unfunded Loan Portion and a Lender, the amount by which:

(A) interest calculated by applying the Floating Rate (whether the Borrower has elected the Floating Rate or the Fixed Rate) to the

52

amount of such Lender’s participation in the Unfunded Loan Portion received or recovered by it (or which such Lender was entitled to have received or recovered under this Agreement, as the case may be) as a result of a Funding Losses Event which would be payable by the Borrower under this Agreement if (I) such Funding Losses Event had not occurred and (II) where the Fixed Rate applies, the Borrower had elected the Floating Rate, for the period starting on the date of such Lender’s receipt or recovery of such amount (or the date on which such Lender was entitled to receive or recover such amount, as the case may be) and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period (the “Relevant Period”)

exceeds

(B) the amount which such Lender would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the amount received or recovered by it (or which it was entitled to have received or recovered, as the case may be) on deposit with a leading bank in the European interbank market for the Relevant Period; and

(iii) where the Fixed Rate applies, since the Lenders commit themselves irrevocably to the French Authorities in charge of monitoring the CIRR mechanism, any prepayment (whether voluntary, involuntary or mandatory, including following the acceleration of the Loan) will be subject to the mandatory payment by the Borrower of the amount calculated in liaison with the French Authorities two (2) Business Days prior to the prepayment date by taking into account the differential (the “Rate Differential”) between the CIRR and the prevailing market yield (currently ISDAFIX) for each installment to be prepaid and applying such Rate Differential to the remaining residual period of such installment and discounting to the net present value as described below. Each of these Rate Differentials will be applied to the corresponding installment to be prepaid during the period starting on the date on which such prepayment is required to be made and ending on the original Repayment Date (as adjusted following any previous prepayments) for such installment and

(A) the net present value of each corresponding amount resulting from the above calculation will be determined at the corresponding market yield; and

(B) if the cumulated amount of such present values is negative, no amount shall be due to the Borrower or from the Borrower.

(d) Any Funding Losses Notice with respect to Funding Losses suffered by a Finance Party shall include calculations in reasonable detail of the relevant amounts and set forth the relevant loss and expense.

(e) If the Funding Entity suffers any Funding Losses, the Facility Agent shall, or

53

		shall procure that the Funding Agents shall, use reasonable efforts to obtain from the Funding Entity the reasonable details of the calculations of such Funding Losses and the related documentation required to be provided by the Funding Entity under clauses 13.3(b) and 8.8(b) of the Funding Agreement. Solely if such details are provided by the Funding Entity shall they be provided to the Borrower together with the relevant Funding Losses Notice.
	(f)	The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower, in writing, of the amount of the Funding Losses due from the Borrower by sending a Funding Losses Notice to the Borrower as soon as is reasonably practicable after the occurrence of the relevant Funding Losses Event and after it has received notice of the amount of Funding Losses calculated by the Funding Entity, the relevant Lender or the French Authorities, as applicable.

6.7 Increased Capital Costs

(a) If, after the date hereof any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority increases the amount of capital required to be maintained by any Lender or the Funding Entity or any Person controlling such Lender or the Funding Entity, as the case may be, and the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Commitment or the Loan made by such Lender or the refinancing by the Funding Entity under the Funding Agreement, as applicable, is reduced to a level below that which such Lender, the Funding Entity or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such change in circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by the Facility Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender or the Funding Entity, as the case may be, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender, the Funding Entity or such controlling Person, as applicable, for such reduction in rate of return.

(b) Any notice pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the capital adequacy requirements which have been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof and (ii) set forth the amount of such lowered return, and, with respect to the Funding Entity, shall be accompanied by a copy of any relevant notice and supporting documentation provided by the Funding Entity (and received by the Facility Agent, directly or through the Funding Agents) under clause 16.2 (Réclamations) of the Funding Agreement. If the Facility Agent (directly or through the Funding Agents) has not received such relevant notice and/or supporting documentation from the Funding Entity in accordance with the Funding Agreement, the Facility Agent (directly or through the Funding Agents) shall request the same from the Funding Entity for purposes of this paragraph (b).

(c) In determining such amount, such Lender or the Funding Entity, as the case may be, may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall, subject to paragraph

54

		(b) above, deem applicable.
	(d)	Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid such reduction in such rate of return and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Funding Entity to demand compensation pursuant to this Clause 6.7 (Increased Capital Costs) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Funding Entity’s, as applicable, right to demand such compensation.

6.8 Taxes

(a) All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder and any other Finance Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, under any Fee Letters) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Covered Taxes.

(b) In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Finance Document is required in respect of any Covered Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will:

(i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii) promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) forward to the Facility Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Facility Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(iii) pay to the Facility Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Funding Entity (as applicable) such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender and/or the Funding Entity (as applicable) will equal the full amount such Lender and/or the Funding Entity (as applicable) would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(c) If any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against the Facility Agent, any Lender or the Funding Entity with respect to any payment received or paid by the Facility Agent, such Lender or the Funding Entity hereunder or under any other Finance Document, the Facility Agent, such Lender or the Funding Entity (as applicable) may pay such Covered Taxes and the Borrower will, promptly after (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of) demand, pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Covered Taxes (including any

55

		Covered Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted.
	(d)	If the Borrower fails to pay any Covered Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Facility Agent for the account of the respective Lenders or the Funding Entity (as applicable) the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders and the Funding Entity (as applicable) for any incremental withholding Covered Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender or the Funding Entity as a result of any such failure (so long as such amount did not become payable as a result of the failure of such Lender or the Funding Entity, as applicable, to provide timely notice to the Borrower (directly or through the Facility Agent) of the assertion of a liability related to the payment of Covered Taxes). For purposes of this Clause 6.8 (Taxes), a distribution hereunder by the Facility Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt with respect to paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) above, the underlying payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Finance Document to or for the account of the Funding Entity are the relevant amounts expressed to be payable to or for the benefit of the Funding Entity in this Agreement or in the other Finance Documents, as applicable (including any such expression achieved by the specific incorporation by reference herein of the provisions of the Funding Agreement).

(f) If any Lender is entitled to any refund, credit, deduction or other reduction in tax by reason of any payment made by the Borrower in respect of any Covered Tax under this Clause 6.8 (Taxes) or by reason of any payment made on account of Tax by the Borrower pursuant to Clause 6.5 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), such Lender shall in its absolute discretion use reasonable efforts to obtain such refund, credit, deduction or other reduction and, promptly after receipt thereof, will pay to the Borrower such amount (plus any interest received by such Lender in connection with such refund, credit, deduction or reduction) as is equal to the net after-tax value to such Lender of such part of such refund, credit, deduction or reduction as such Lender reasonably determines is allocable to such Covered Tax or such payment (less out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender), provided that no Lender shall be obligated to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.

(g) Each Lender agrees with the Borrower and the Facility Agent that it will:

(i) in the case of a Lender organised under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States:

(A) provide to the Facility Agent and the Borrower an appropriately executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that any payments made to or for the benefit of such Lender are effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States (or

56

		alternatively, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming the benefits of a tax treaty, but only if the applicable treaty described in such form provides for a complete exemption from U.S. federal income tax withholding), or any successor form, on or prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of any New Lender, on or prior to the date of the relevant assignment), in each case attached to an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, if appropriate;
	(B)	notify the Facility Agent and the Borrower if the certifications made on any form provided pursuant to clause (A) above are no longer accurate and true in all material respects; and

(C) provide such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law, if any, or as otherwise reasonably requested, to demonstrate, to the extent applicable, that payments to such Lender hereunder and under the other Finance Documents are exempt from withholding under FATCA; and

(ii) in all cases, provide such forms, certificates or other documents, as and when reasonably requested by the Borrower, necessary to claim any applicable exemption from, or reduction of, Covered Taxes or any payments made to or for benefit of such Lender, provided that the Lender is legally able to deliver such forms, certificates or other documents.

(h) For any period with respect to which a Lender (or New Lender) has failed to provide the Borrower with the applicable forms described in paragraph (g) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided (which, in the case of an New Lender, would be the date on which the original assignor was required to provide such form) or if such form otherwise is not required hereunder) such Lender (or New Lender) shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Clause 6.8 (Taxes) with respect to Covered Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

(i) Without prejudice to the foregoing, all consideration expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any party thereto to a Finance Party shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT. If VAT is chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to another party in connection with a Finance Document, that party shall pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying the consideration) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (subject to such Finance Party having provided an appropriate VAT invoice to such party) or, where applicable, directly account for such VAT at the appropriate rate under the reverse charge procedure provided for by article 56 of the European Directive 2006/112/EC and any relevant Tax provision of the jurisdiction in which such party receives such supply.

(j) Where a Finance Document requires any party to reimburse a Finance Party for any costs or expenses, that party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify such Finance Party against all VAT incurred by such Finance Party in respect of the costs

57

		or expenses to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that neither it nor any other member of the group of which it is a member for VAT purposes is entitled to credit or repayment of full VAT incurred. In case such Finance Party is entitled to benefit from partial recovery of VAT incurred, it shall be indemnified and held harmless by the reimbursing party against the portion of VAT that it or any other member of the group of which it is a member for VAT purposes has not recovered or for which it has not benefited from a credit.
	(k)	Each party to this Agreement shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another party hereto:

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

(A) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(B) not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(ii) with effect from 2014, supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “passthru payment percentage” or other information required under the U.S. Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party’s compliance with FATCA.

(l) If any party to this Agreement confirms to another party hereto pursuant to paragraph (k)(i)(A) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be, a FATCA Exempt Party, that party shall notify that other party reasonably promptly.

(m) If a party to this Agreement fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (k) above, then:

(i) if that party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(ii) if that party failed to confirm its applicable “passthru payment percentage” then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable “passthru payment percentage” is one hundred per cent. (100%),

until (in each case) such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

6.9 Reserve Costs

(a) Without in any way limiting the Borrower’s obligations under Clause 6.5

58

(Increased Loan Costs, etc.), the Borrower shall, on and after the Deferred Tranche Effective Date, if applicable, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender on the last day of each Interest Period in which there remains an amount of the Deferred Tranche outstanding, and so long as the relevant Lending Office of such Lender is required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the F.R.S. Board, upon notice from such Lender, an additional amount equal to the product of the following for the Deferred Tranche for each day during such Interest Period:

(i) the principal amount of the Deferred Tranche outstanding on such day; and

(ii) the remainder of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the rate (expressed as a decimal) at which interest accrues on the Deferred Tranche for such Interest Period as provided in this Agreement (less, if applicable, the Floating Rate Margin) and the denominator of which is one (1) minus any increase after the Deferred Tranche Effective Date in the effective rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed on such Lender minus (ii) such numerator; and

(iii) 1/360.

(b) Such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the reserve requirement that has been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof and (ii) set forth the applicable reserve percentage.

6.10 Payments

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Finance Documents shall be made by the Borrower to the Facility Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment. All such payments required to be made to the Facility Agent shall be made not later than 3:00 p.m. (Paris time) on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds, to such account as the Facility Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) The Facility Agent shall promptly (but in any event on the same Business Day that the same are received or, as contemplated in paragraph (a) above, deemed received) remit in same day funds to each Lender or such Lender’s designee its share, if any, of such payments received by the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender without any set- off, deduction or counterclaim.

(c) If the Facility Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by the Borrower under the Finance Documents, the Facility Agent shall apply that payment towards the Borrower’s obligations under the Finance Documents in the following order:

(i) first, in or towards payment of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the

59

		Facility Agent under the Finance Documents;
	(ii)	secondly, in or towards payment pro rata among the relevant Finance Parties of any fees, costs, expenses or commission due but unpaid under this Agreement or the other Finance Documents;
	(iii)	thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata among the relevant Finance Parties of any accrued interest due but unpaid under Clause 5.3(c) (Post-Maturity Rates);
	(iv)	fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata among the relevant Finance Parties of any other accrued interest and Deferred Costs due but unpaid under this Agreement;
	(v)	fifthly, in or towards payment pro rata among the Lenders of any principal due but unpaid under this Agreement; and
	(vi)	sixthly, in or towards payment pro rata among the relevant Finance Parties of any other sum due to the Finance Parties but unpaid under the Finance Documents,

in each case in the inverse order of the maturity thereof, provided that the Facility Agent shall, if so directed by the Required Lenders, vary the order set out in clauses (ii) to (iv) above and, provided further that any such appropriation will override any appropriation made by the Borrower.

(d) Whenever any payment to be made under any Finance Document shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (except that, if such next succeeding Business Day does not fall in the same calendar month as the original payment due date, then the relevant payment shall be made on the last Business Day in the calendar month of the original payment due date) and any such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment. If any payment date under a Finance Document is altered by the application of this paragraph (d), the subsequent payment date shall not be altered unless that subsequent payment date also requires alteration pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(e) For any payment of principal, interest or Commitment Fees to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Borrower shall procure that the Facility Agent receives (i) a SWIFT advice in the form of an MT 199 of such payment from the Borrower’s payment bank on or before the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the payment date and (ii) a written confirmation in the form of an MT 103 that such payment has been made from the Borrower’s payment bank by no later than 3:00 p.m. (Paris time) on the payment date.

60

6.11 No Double Counting

Any payment required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to any of Clauses 6.5 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.6 (Funding Losses), 6.7 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.8(c), (d), (i) or (j) (Taxes) or 6.9 (Reserve Costs) shall be calculated without double-counting under any other such Clauses or the payment under any other provision of this Agreement, and on the basis that the Borrower shall not be liable to make any payment pursuant to any such Clause to the extent that such amount has been compensated under Clause 6.8 (Taxes) or would have been so compensated but for any exclusions applicable thereunder, is attributable to a Lender’s failure to satisfy its obligations under Clause 6.8(g) (Taxes) or is attributable to a Lender’s breach by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or the Funding Entity’s breach by its faute lourde or dol, as the case may be, of any applicable treaty, law, regulation or regulatory requirement.

6.12 Cancellation of Commitment or Prepayment of Affected Lender

If the Borrower shall be required to make any payment to any Lender pursuant to Clauses 6.4 (Market Disruption in respect of an Unfunded Loan Portion), 6.5 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.6 (Funding Losses), 6.7 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.8 (Taxes) or 6.9 (Reserve Costs), the Borrower shall be entitled at any time (so long as no Default and/or Mandatory Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing) within one hundred and eighty (180) days after receipt of notice from such Lender of such required payment to cancel or prepay the affected portion of such Lender’s Commitment or participation in the Loan (as applicable), together with (in the case of prepayment) any accrued interest thereon through the date of such prepayment. Any such prepayment shall include a prepayment of principal and interest in respect of the relevant Lender’s Commitment in relation to the Deferred Tranche.

6.13 Funding Entity

If Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations is succeeded or otherwise replaced by another Person in its capacity as Funding Entity or assigns its role as Funding Entity to another Person, then, provided that no Default is continuing at the time of such succession, replacement or assignment, the Borrower’s obligations under Clauses 6.3 (Market Disruption in respect of a Funded Loan Portion), 6.5 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.6 (Funding Losses), 6.7 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.8 (Taxes) and 6.9 (Reserve Costs) or under any other provisions of the Finance Documents shall be no greater than had no such succession, replacement or assignment occurred.

6.14 Sharing of Payments

(a) If a Lender (a “Recovering Party”) receives or recovers any amount from the Borrower other than in accordance with Clause 6.10(a) (a “Recovered Amount”) and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

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

61

(ii) the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 6.10 (Payments), without taking account of any tax which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(iii) the Recovering Party shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent an amount (the “Sharing Payment”) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Facility Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 6.10 (Payments).

(b) The Facility Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the Borrower and distribute it between the Lenders (other than the Recovering Party) (the “Sharing Parties”) in accordance with Clause 6.10 (Payments) towards the obligations of the Borrower to the Sharing Parties.

(c) On a distribution by the Facility Agent under paragraph (b) above of a payment received by a Recovering Party from the Borrower, as between the Borrower and the Recovering Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower.

(d) If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Party to the Borrower, then:

(i) each Sharing Party shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of that Recovering Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Party is required to pay) (the “Redistributed Amount”); and

(ii) as between the Borrower and each relevant Sharing Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower.

(e) This Clause 6.14 (Sharing of Payments) shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause 6.14 (Sharing of Payments), have a valid and enforceable claim against the Borrower.

(f) A Recovering Party is not obliged to share with any other Lenders any amount which the Recovering Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

(i) it notified that other Lender of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

(ii) that other Lender had an opportunity to participate in those legal or

62

arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable after having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

6.15 No Borrower Set-off

All payments required to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents shall be made without set-off, deduction or counterclaim.

6.16 Finance Party Set-off

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Mandatory Prepayment Event and while it is continuing, each Finance Party shall have, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations then due and owing to it any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or monies of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Finance Party (collectively, the “Borrower Amounts”); provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Clause 6.14 (Sharing of Payments). If any Borrower Amount is in a different currency than the Obligations, the relevant Finance Party may convert such Borrower Amount at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. Each Finance Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Facility Agent (unless such Finance Party is the Facility Agent) after any such set-off and application made by such Finance Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Finance Party under this Clause 6.16 (Finance Party Set-off) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off under applicable law or otherwise) which such Finance Party may have.

6.17 Use of Proceeds

(a) The proceeds of the Loan shall be applied in accordance with Clause 2.2 (Purpose).

(b) Without prejudice to paragraph (a) above, no proceeds of the Loan will be used to acquire any equity security of a class which is registered pursuant to section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any “margin stock”, as defined in F.R.S. Board Regulation U.

6.18 Deferred Costs

Independently of any other obligation to pay costs, expenses or interest under or in connection with this Agreement, the Borrower shall as a separate obligation, also pay to the Facility Agent (for distribution to each Lender) deferred costs in respect of any drawn portion of the Deferred Tranche at the Deferred Costs Percentage for each Interest Period during which any part of the Deferred Tranche remains outstanding. Whilst not an interest liability, such deferred costs shall be charged from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period in which an amount of the Deferred Tranche is outstanding to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period, and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Repayment Date. Any deferred costs payable in accordance with this Clause 6.18 shall be

63

calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year comprised of 360 days.

6.19 Unavailability of Screen Rate

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Finance Document, if the Facility Agent determines (which determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive) or the Borrower or the Required Lenders notify the Facility Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrower) that the Borrower or the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined that:

(a) adequate and reasonable means would not exist for ascertaining (should the Floating Rate apply) the Screen Rate for the relevant Interest Period including, without limitation, because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(b) the administrator of the Screen Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Facility Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Screen Rate shall no longer be made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(c) syndicated loans currently being executed, or existing syndicated loans that include language similar to that contained in this Clause 6.19, are being executed and/or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Screen Rate,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Facility Agent or receipt by the Facility Agent of such notice, as applicable, or if the Borrower otherwise requests, the Facility Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Screen Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Euro denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “Euro Successor Rate”), and also together with any proposed Euro Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 P.M. (London time) on the fifth (5) Business Day after the Facility Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Facility Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. Such Euro Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Facility Agent, such Euro Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Facility Agent.

If no Euro Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under paragraph (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Facility Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to fund or maintain the relevant portion of the

64

Loan (including the Deferred Tranche) at the Screen Rate (to the extent of the affected part of the Loan, the Deferred Tranche or Interest Periods) shall be suspended and the Borrower shall pay interest on such part of the Loan at a rate equal to the sum of the Floating Rate Margin and the weighted average of the cost to the Lenders of funding the respective portions of the affected part of the Loan (as notified to the Facility Agent and the Borrower no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the start of the relevant Interest Period). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of any part of the Loan (to the extent of the affected part of the Loan, the Deferred Tranche or Interest Periods).

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of Euro Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Euro Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Euro Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed Euro Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Floating Rate, Screen Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Facility Agent in consultation with the Borrower, to reflect the adoption of such Euro Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Facility Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Facility Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such Euro Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Facility Agent determines is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

(k) Funding Agreement

The Funding Agreement is no longer in full force and effect or has been suspended, repudiated, terminated, cancelled, repaid, prepaid or accelerated in respect of any Lender (such Lender being an “affected Lender” for the purposes of Clause 11.2 (Mandatory Prepayment)), except where the same is due to a Lender’s voluntary repayment or prepayment thereof or due to the faute lourde or dol under the Funding Agreement of any Finance Party or a breach or an event of default thereunder which is attributable solely to a Finance Party (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the underlying cause for which is not attributable to the fault of the Borrower).

Upon the occurrence of an Illegality Event, the affected Lender may give written notice (the “Illegality Notice”) to the Borrower and the Facility Agent of such event, including reasonable details of the relevant circumstances. If an affected Lender delivers an Illegality Notice, the Borrower and the affected Lender shall discuss in good faith (but without obligation) what steps may be open to the relevant Lender to mitigate or remove such circumstances in accordance with the provisions of Clause 13.3(a), but, if they are unable to agree such steps within the Option Period or if the Borrower so elects, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable at any time during the Option Period, either:

(1) to prepay the affected Lender’s participation in the Loan in full on or before the expiry of the Option Period, together with all unpaid interest and fees thereon accrued to but excluding the date of such prepayment, or

90

(ii) the Borrower completes a Debt Incurrence;

(iii) the Borrower completes an Equity Issuance; or

11.2 Mandatory Prepayment

(a) If any Mandatory Prepayment Event shall occur and be continuing, the Facility Agent, upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower and without prejudice to the Borrower’s obligations in Clause 6.6 (Funding Losses), require the Borrower to prepay in full on the date of such notice:

(i) the Loan or (A) in the case of Clauses 11.1(k) (Funding Agreement), 11.1(l) (BpiFAE Insurance Policy), 11.1(m) (Illegality for Lenders) and 11.1(n) (Illegality for the Funding Entity), each affected Lender’s participation in the Loan (as applicable) or (B) in the case of Clauses 11.1(o) (Dividend or New Debt) and 11.1(p) (Breach of Principles), any drawn amount of the Deferred Tranche;

(ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan or (A) in the case of Clauses 11.1(k) (Funding Agreement), 11.1(l) (BpiFAE Insurance Policy), 11.1(m) (Illegality for Lenders) and 11.1(n) (Illegality for the Funding Entity), each affected Lender’s participation in the Loan (as applicable) or (B) in the case of Clauses 11.1(o) (Dividend or New Debt) and 11.1(p) (Breach of Principles), in respect of any drawn amount of the Deferred Tranche; and

and, in such event, the Borrower agrees to so pay all such amounts.

(b) In addition to any prepayment made pursuant to paragraph (a) above, in the case of a Mandatory Prepayment Event arising under Clause 11.1(o) (Dividend or New Debt) or Clause 11.1(p) (Breach of Principles), the Facility Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower (i) require that any part of the Deferred Tranche that has not been advanced as at the time of such Mandatory Prepayment Event be automatically cancelled and, on the Repayment Date on which that portion of the Deferred Tranche would have otherwise been advanced, the Borrower shall continue to be obliged to make the relevant repayment of the Loan (and thus no deemed advance in respect of the Deferred Tranche shall occur) and (ii) immediately terminate the waiver contained in Clause 11.1(e) (Non-Performance of Certain Covenants and Obligations) relating to the occurrence of any Mandatory Prepayment Event in respect of Clause 9.4 (Financial Condition), such that any breach of Clause 9.4 (Financial Condition) in existence as at the date of the notice from the Facility Agent referred to above or any breach occurring at any time after such notice, shall constitute a Mandatory Prepayment Event with all attendant consequences.

12. THE FACILITY AGENT, MANDATED LEAD ARRANGERS AND DOCUMENTATION BANK

(a) Each Finance Party (other than the Facility Agent) hereby appoints Société Générale, as Facility Agent, as its agent under and for purposes of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Facility Agent is a party.

(b) Each Finance Party (other than the Facility Agent) irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to sign the Funds Flow Agreement and the relevant Fee Letters on behalf of such Finance Party and to act on behalf of such Finance Party under and in respect of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, including by giving the payment instructions set forth in the Funds Flow Agreement, and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by the Facility Agent (with respect to which the Facility Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Clause 12 (The Facility Agent, Mandated Lead Arrangers and Documentation Bank), as otherwise advised by counsel or as otherwise instructed by any French Authority, it being understood and agreed that any instructions provided by a French Authority shall prevail), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Facility Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto.

92

(c) The Facility Agent shall not be obliged to act on the instructions of any Finance Party or the Required Lenders if to do so would, in the opinion of the Facility Agent, be contrary to any provision of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document to which the Facility Agent is a party or the BpiFAE Insurance Policy or to any law or the conflicting instructions of any French Authority, or would expose the Facility Agent to any actual or potential liability to any third party.

(d) The Facility Agent’s duties under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party are solely mechanical and administrative in nature.

12.2 Indemnity

Without prejudice to the Borrower’s indemnity obligations hereunder, each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) the Facility Agent, pro rata according to such Lender’s Commitment, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that be incurred by or asserted or awarded against, the Facility Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by the Facility Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses which have resulted from the Facility Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Facility Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Facility Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Facility Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any such indemnified costs, this Clause 12.2 (Indemnity) applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Facility Agent, any Lender or any third party. The Facility Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, unless it is expressly required to do so under this Agreement or is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of the Facility Agent shall be or become, in the Facility Agent’s determination, inadequate, the Facility Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

12.3 Funding Reliance, etc.

Each Lender shall notify the Facility Agent by 10:00 a.m. (Paris time), one (1) day prior to the advance of the Loan if it is not able to fund the following day. Unless the Facility Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 10:00 a.m. (Paris time), on the day prior to the advance of the Loan that such Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its percentage (based upon its Commitment)

93

of the Loan on the date specified therefor, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Facility Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, may, but shall not be obliged to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Facility Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay the Facility Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Facility Agent made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loan without premium or penalty.

12.4 Exculpation

The Facility Agent shall not be liable to any other Finance Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for the Facility Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. No director, officer, employee or agent of the Facility Agent shall be liable to any Finance Party other than the Facility Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in connection herewith or therewith. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Facility Agent:

(b) makes no warranty or representation to any other Finance Party and shall not be responsible to any other Finance Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement;

(c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or the existence at any time of any Default, Event of Default or Mandatory Prepayment Event or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower;

(d) shall not be responsible to any other Finance Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

(e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by action upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and

(f) shall have no responsibility to the Borrower or any other Finance Party on account of:

(i) the failure of another Finance Party or the Borrower to perform any of its

94

obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or of the Funding Entity to perform any of its obligations under the Funding Agreement;

(ii) the financial condition of the Borrower;

(iii) the completeness or accuracy of any statements, representations or warranties made in or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in or pursuant to any document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or

(iv) the negotiation, execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, admissibility in evidence or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or of any document executed or delivered pursuant to or in connection with any Transaction Document.

12.5 Successor/Replacement

(a) Subject in all respects to the terms of the Funding Agreement, the Facility Agent may resign or be replaced as such at any time upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Borrower and all Lenders, and a successor Facility Agent (which shall also have become, previously or simultaneously, the successor Funding Paying Agent under the Funding Agreement if the Funding Agreement is then in effect) shall be appointed with the approval or at the request of the Funding Entity; provided that no such approval by the Funding Entity is required to be obtained if HSBC France is the successor Facility Agent or, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Funding Agreement is no longer in full force and effect.

(b) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of a proposed successor Facility Agent under paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within two (2) Business Days, advise the existing Facility Agent in writing whether the Borrower approves or objects to such proposed successor Facility Agent; provided that, if the Borrower fails to so advise the Facility Agent in writing within such two (2) Business Days, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have approved of such proposed successor Facility Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower’s approval is not required for HSBC France to become the successor Facility Agent, and the Borrower shall otherwise only have an approval right with respect to the first proposed successor Facility Agent (other than HSBC France) notified to the Borrower. If the Borrower objects to such first proposed successor Facility Agent (other than HSBC France) notified to the Borrower, then such proposed successor Facility Agent shall not become the successor Facility Agent hereunder (unless the Borrower, after consultation with the existing Facility Agent (which consultation shall not be required of the Borrower), agrees to the contrary).

95

(c) Any successor Facility Agent hereunder shall be entitled to receive from the resigning or otherwise replaced Facility Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Facility Agent or (if the Funding Agreement is then in effect) the Funding Entity may request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or otherwise replaced Facility Agent, and the resigning or otherwise replaced Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

(d) After any resigning or otherwise replaced Facility Agent’s resignation or replacement hereunder as the Facility Agent, the provisions of:

(i) this Clause 12 (The Facility Agent, Mandated Lead Arrangers and Documentation Bank) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Facility Agent under this Agreement; and

(ii) Clause 13.5 (Payment of Costs and Expenses) and Clause 13.6 (Indemnification) shall continue to inure to its benefit.

(e) The Facility Agent shall resign in accordance with paragraph (a) above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Facility Agent pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above) if, on or after the date which is three (3) months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents, either:

(i) the Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 6.8(k) and a Lender reasonably believes that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

(ii) the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 6.8(k) or (l) indicates that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

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

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

12.6 Loans by the Facility Agent

The Facility Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if the Facility Agent were not the Facility Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the other Finance Parties. The Facility Agent shall have no duty to

96

disclose information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as the Facility Agent.

12.7 Credit Decisions

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of the Facility Agent and each other Finance Party, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial information of the Borrower, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitment or otherwise participate in the Loan. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Facility Agent and each other Finance Party, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

12.8 Copies, etc.

The Facility Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender and (for as long as the Funding Agreement is in effect) the Funding Entity of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to the Facility Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders and/or the Funding Entity, as applicable, by the Borrower). The Facility Agent will distribute to each Lender and (for as long as the Funding Agreement is in effect) the Funding Entity each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by the Facility Agent from the Borrower for distribution to the Lenders and/or the Funding Entity, as the case may be, by the Facility Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

12.9 The Facility Agent’s Rights

The Facility Agent may (a) assume that all representations or warranties made or deemed repeated by the Borrower in or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document are true and complete, unless, in its capacity as the Facility Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary; (b) assume that no Default, Event of Default or Mandatory Prepayment Event has occurred unless, in its capacity as Facility Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary; (c) rely on any document or notice believed by it to be genuine; (d) rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it; (e) rely as to any factual matters which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of the Borrower on a certificate or other document signed by or on behalf of the Borrower; and (f) refrain from exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy unless and until instructed to exercise that right, power, discretion or remedy and as to the manner of such exercise by the Lenders (or, where applicable, by the Required Lenders) and unless and until it has received from the Lenders any payment which it may require on account of, or any security which it may require for, any costs, claims, expenses (including legal and other professional fees) and liabilities which it considers it may incur or sustain

97

in complying with those instructions.

12.10 The Facility Agent’s Duties

(a) The Facility Agent shall (i) if requested in writing to do so by a Lender, make enquiry and advise the Lenders as to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by the Borrower and/or as to the existence of a Default, Event of Default and/or Mandatory Prepayment Event and (ii) inform the Lenders promptly of any Default, Event of Default and/or Mandatory Prepayment Event of which the Facility Agent has actual knowledge.

(b) The Facility Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of the falsehood or incompleteness of any representation or warranty made or deemed repeated by the Borrower or actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Default unless a Lender, or the Borrower, shall have given written notice thereof to the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent. Any information acquired by the Facility Agent other than specifically in its capacity as the Facility Agent shall not be deemed to be information acquired by the Facility Agent in its capacity as the Facility Agent.

(c) The Facility Agent may, without any liability to account to the Lenders, generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the Borrower or with the Borrower’s subsidiaries or associated companies or with a Lender as if it were not the Facility Agent.

12.11 Employment of Agents

In performing its duties and exercising its rights, powers, discretions and remedies under or pursuant to this Agreement, the Facility Agent shall be entitled to:

(a) employ and pay agents to do anything which the Facility Agent is empowered to do under or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including the receipt of money and documents and the payment of money); provided that, unless otherwise provided herein, including Clause 13.5 (Payment of Costs and Expenses), the employment of such agents shall be for the Facility Agent’s account; and

(b) to act or refrain from taking action in reliance on the opinion of, or advice or information obtained from, any lawyer, banker, broker, accountant, valuer or any other Person believed by the Facility Agent in good faith to be competent to give such opinion, advice or information.

12.12 Distribution of Payments

The Facility Agent shall pay promptly to the order of each Lender (or, if the Funding Agreement is in effect, directly to the Funding Entity on behalf of such Lender in accordance with the Funding Agreement) such Lender’s pro rata share of every sum of money received by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Finance

98

Documents (with the exception of any amounts which, by the terms of this Agreement or any Fee Letter, as the case may be, are payable to the Facility Agent for its own account or specifically for the account of one or more Lenders) and until so paid such amount shall be held by the Facility Agent on trust absolutely for such Lender.

12.13 Reimbursement

The Facility Agent shall have no liability to pay any sum to a Lender (or to the Funding Entity on behalf of such Lender) until it has itself received payment of that sum. If, however, the Facility Agent does pay any sum to a Lender (or to the Funding Entity on behalf of such Lender) on account of any amount prospectively due to such Lender (or to the Funding Entity on behalf of that Lender) pursuant to Clause 12.12 (Distribution of Payments) before it has itself received payment of that amount, and the Facility Agent does not in fact receive payment within five (5) Business Days after the date on which that payment was required to be made by the terms of this Agreement or the other Finance Documents, as applicable, then that Lender will, on demand by the Facility Agent and without prejudice to the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, to the extent not prohibited by the Funding Agreement, refund to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the amount received by it (or paid to the Funding Entity on its behalf), together with an amount sufficient to reimburse the Facility Agent for any amount which the Facility Agent may certify that it has been required to pay by way of interest on money borrowed to fund the amount in question during the period beginning on the date on which that amount was required to be paid by the terms of this Agreement or the other Finance Documents, as applicable, and ending on the date on which the Facility Agent receives reimbursement.

12.14 Instructions

Where the Facility Agent is authorised or directed to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders or of the Required Lenders, each of the Lenders shall provide the Facility Agent with instructions within three (3) Business Days of the Facility Agent’s request (which request may be made orally or in writing). If a Lender does not provide the Facility Agent with instructions within that period, that Lender shall be bound by the decision of the Facility Agent. Nothing in this Clause 12.14 (Instructions) shall limit the right of the Facility Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action without obtaining the instructions of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, if the Facility Agent in its discretion considers it necessary or appropriate to take, or refrain from taking, such action in order to preserve the rights of the Lenders under or in connection with this Agreement and/or the other Finance Documents. In that event, the Facility Agent will notify the Lenders of the action taken by it as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Lenders agree to ratify any action taken by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Clause 12.14 (Instructions).

12.15 Payments

All amounts payable to a Lender under this Clause 12 (The Facility Agent, Mandated Lead Arrangers and Documentation Bank) shall be paid to such account at such bank as that Lender may from time to time direct in writing to the Facility Agent.

99

12.16 “Know your customer” Checks

Each Lender shall promptly upon the request of the Facility Agent supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Facility Agent (for itself) in order for the Facility Agent to carry out and be satisfied that it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” and other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

12.17 No Fiduciary Relationship

Except as provided in Clause 12.12 (Distribution of Payments), the Facility Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with or be deemed to be a trustee of or for any other Person and nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall constitute a partnership between any two or more Lenders or between the Facility Agent and any other Person.

12.18 The Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Documentation Bank

Except as specifically provided herein, none of the Mandated Lead Arrangers or the Documentation Bank has any obligations of any kind to any Person under or in connection with any Transaction Document.

13.2 Exercise of Remedies

No failure or delay on the part of the Facility Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right under this Agreement or any other Finance Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Facility Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Finance Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

102

13.3 Mitigation, Borrower Challenges, etc.

(a) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the Funding Agreement, the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with Natixis DAI relating to the CIRR), in consultation with the Borrower, to avoid any circumstances which arise and which would result in any Commitments becoming cancellable or amounts becoming payable or prepayable pursuant to Clauses 2.5 (Cancellation due to Lender Illegality), 2.7 (Automatic Cancellation), 6.4 (Market Disruption in respect of an Unfunded Loan Portion), 6.5 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.7 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.8(c), (d), (i) or (j) (Taxes), 6.9 (Reserve Costs), 11.1(m) (Illegality for Lenders) and/or 11.1(n) (Illegality for the Funding Entity), including using reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the Funding Agreement (if it then maintains a Funded Loan Portion), the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with Natixis DAI relating to the CIRR) to designate a different Lending Office, if such efforts would avoid such Commitments becoming cancellable or such amounts becoming payable or prepayable, provided that, in each such case, such efforts shall not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be prejudicial or otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and/or its Affiliates.

(b) If the Borrower (acting reasonably) disagrees with any of:

(i) the Funding Entity’s determination of EURIBOR in accordance with Clause 6.1(a);

(ii) a claim by the Funding Entity under Clause 6.3(b);

(iii) the notice or calculations of the Funding Entity provided pursuant to Clauses 6.5(b) or 6.7(b); or

(iv) the details, calculations or supporting documentation in respect of Funding Losses of the Funding Entity provided pursuant to Clause 6.6(c) or (e),

then the Borrower shall promptly notify the Facility Agent thereof in writing with reasonable details of the Borrower’s position and the Facility Agent shall, subject to the terms of the Funding Agreement, use reasonable efforts to present the Borrower’s position and such details to the Funding Entity and shall revert to the Borrower with details of any responses from the Funding Entity. Until such time as the Funding Entity shall revise its determination or withdraw its claim (as applicable), the Funding Entity’s

initial determination shall apply and any claimed amount shall be payable by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the relevant aforementioned Clauses.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Facility Agent shall not be required to take or omit to take any action pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above if it would put the Facility

103

Agent in default under the Funding Agreement and/or the Funds Flow Agreement.

(d) The Lenders shall not exercise any voluntary cancellation or voluntary prepayment rights under the Funding Agreement without the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

13.4 Notices

13.5 Payment of Costs and Expenses

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Finance Parties (including the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of external counsel to the Finance Parties and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by counsel to the Finance Parties; provided that the Borrower shall only be required to pay the fees of one collective counsel to the Finance Parties per relevant jurisdiction) in connection with (i) structuring the transactions contemplated hereby and

(ii) the negotiation, preparation, review, printing and execution of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents and the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, in each case whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay the following:

(i) the documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Funding Entity for which the Finance Parties are responsible (directly or through the CDC Funding Agents) under clause 19 (Frais) of the Funding Agreement to the extent that they arise as a result of (A) any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to the Funding Agreement as may from time to time hereafter be (I) consented to, or requested, by the Borrower, (II) required to correspond to changes to the Construction Contract or waivers of or amendments to the Finance Documents and/or (III) required due to the occurrence of a Default that is continuing and/or (B) a Default that is continuing; and

(d) Without prejudice to paragraph (b) above, the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Finance Parties upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Finance Parties in connection with (a) the negotiation of any restructuring or “work-out”, whether or not consummated, of any Obligations and (b) the enforcement of any Obligations.

13.6 Indemnification

(a) The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Finance Party, the Funding Agents and each of their respective Affiliates and their (and their Affiliates’) respective officers, advisors, directors and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel, which must be reasonable so long as no Event of Default is continuing), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (including in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defence in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement, the other Finance Documents, the Funding Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), except (i) to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct or is a claim, damage, loss, liability or expense which would have been compensated under other provisions of the Finance Documents but for any exclusions applicable thereunder and (ii) with respect to claims, damages, losses, liability or expenses arising solely under the Funds Flow Agreement, to the extent the same are not attributable to the Borrower’s breach of the terms thereof.

(b) In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Clause 13.6 (Indemnification) applies, such indemnity shall be effective

108

whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto.

(c) Each Indemnified Party shall:

(i) furnish the Borrower with prompt notice of any action, suit or other claim covered by this Clause 13.6 (Indemnification);

(ii) not agree to any settlement or compromise of any such action, suit or claim without the Borrower’s prior consent;

(iii) cooperate fully in the Borrower’s defence of any such action, suit or other claim (provided that the Borrower shall reimburse such Indemnified Party for its out-of- pocket expenses incurred pursuant hereto, which must be reasonable so long as no Event of Default is continuing); and

(iv) at the Borrower’s request, permit the Borrower to assume control of the defence of any such claim, other than regulatory, supervisory or similar investigations, provided that:

(A) the Borrower acknowledges in writing its obligations to indemnify such Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms herein in connection with such claims;

(B) the Borrower shall keep such Indemnified Party fully informed with respect to the conduct of the defence of such claim;

(C) the Borrower shall consult in good faith with such Indemnified Party (from time to time and before taking any material decision) about the conduct of the defence of such claim;

(D) the Borrower shall conduct the defence of such claim properly and diligently taking into account its own interests and those of such Indemnified Party;

(E) the Borrower shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party and at the Borrower’s expense; and

(F) the Borrower shall not enter into a settlement with respect to such claim unless either:

(I)          such settlement involves only the payment of a monetary sum, does not include any performance by or an admission of liability or responsibility on the part of such Indemnified Party and contains a provision unconditionally releasing such Indemnified Party and each other Indemnified Party from, and holding all such Persons harmless against, all

109

liability in respect of claims by any releasing party; or

(II) such Indemnified Party provides written consent to such settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) Notwithstanding the Borrower’s election to assume the defence of an action, suit or other claim pursuant to paragraph (c) above, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defence of such action, suit or claim and the Borrower shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if:

(i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent such Indemnified Party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest;

(ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Borrower and such Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be legal defences available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower and determined that it is necessary to employ separate counsel in order to pursue such defences (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defence of such action on such Indemnified Party’s behalf);

(iii) the Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or

(iv) the Borrower authorises such Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’s expense.

(e) If any sum due from the Borrower under the Finance Documents (a “Sum”), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the “First Currency”) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the “Second Currency”) for the purpose of:

(i) making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower;

(ii) obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings;

the Borrower shall as an independent obligation, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Indemnified Party to whom that Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that Indemnified Party at the time of its receipt of that Sum.

13.7 Survival

110

The obligations of the Borrower under Clauses 6.5 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.6 (Funding Losses), 6.7 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.8 (Taxes), 6.9 (Reserve Costs), 13.5 (Payment of Costs and Expenses) and 13.6 (Indemnification) and the obligations of the Lenders under Clause 12.2 (Indemnity), shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all Obligations. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

13.8 Severability

Any provision of any Finance Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of such Finance Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

13.9 Execution in Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement.

13.10 Successors and Assigns

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that:

(a) except to the extent permitted by Clause 9.6 (Consolidation, Merger, etc.), the Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Facility Agent, each Lender, BpiFAE and (for as long as the Funding Agreement is in effect) the Funding Entity; and

(b) the rights of sale, assignment and transfer of the Lenders are subject to Clause 13.11 (Lender Transfers, Assignments and Participations).

13.11 Lender Transfers, Assignments and Participations

Each Lender may transfer by novation all or any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or assign all or any such rights or sell participations in its portion of any part of the Loan or grant security over its rights under the Finance Documents to one or more other Persons in accordance with this Clause 13.11 (Lender Transfers, Assignments and Participations).

(a) Transfers and Assignments

(i) Any Lender, upon prior notice to BpiFAE and with the prior written consent of the Funding Entity (if the Funding Agreement is then in effect and if the

111

transferee or assignee requires the benefit thereof), Natixis DAI (if the Loan is accruing interest at the Fixed Rate) and the Borrower (the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), may at any time (and from time to time) transfer by novation all or any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or assign all or any of its rights under the Finance Documents to any Person (including BpiFAE and any financial institution presented to the Lenders by the Borrower, which shall be subject to the approval of the Lenders (acting reasonably) and, if the Funding Agreement is then in effect, the Funding Entity) (any such transferee or assignee, as the case may be, a “New Lender”); provided that any New Lender (other than BpiFAE) shall, if the Fixed Rate applies, be eligible to benefit from the CIRR stabilisation.

(ii) Notwithstanding clause (i) above, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required:

(A) in the case of any transfer or assignment to BpiFAE, any other existing Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender (provided that, for a transfer or assignment to an Affiliate of any Lender occurring prior to the Disbursement Date, at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice shall be given to the Borrower); and/or

(B) for any transfer or assignment during the continuation of an Event of Default under Clauses 10.1(a) (Non Payment); 10.1(d)(i) (Default on other Indebtedness) and 10.1(e) (Bankruptcy, Insolvency, etc.).

(iii) The consent of the Borrower to a transfer or assignment shall be deemed to be given in the absence of a written notice delivered by the Borrower to the Facility Agent, on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after receipt by the Borrower of such Lender’s request for consent, stating, in reasonable detail, the reasons why the Borrower proposes to withhold such consent.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower hereby expressly consents to the transfer or assignment to Natixis of up to ten per cent. (10%) of the Commitments as at the date of this Agreement.

(v) Any transfer or assignment by a Lender under this paragraph (a) (other than a transfer or assignment to BpiFAE and/or where a Default is continuing and/or where the transfer or assignment is at the Borrower’s request) shall not result in an increase of the Borrower’s obligations under Clauses 6.5 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.6 (Funding Losses), 6.7 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.8 (Taxes) and 6.9 (Reserve Costs) or any other additional costs to the Borrower which the Borrower would not have been obligated to pay to the transferring or assigning Lender had the transfer or assignment (as the case may be) not occurred.

(b) Procedure for Transfer or Assignment

112

(i) The Borrower and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the existing Lender in connection with the interests to be transferred or assigned to a New Lender until (i) such New Lender and the transferring/assigning Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Facility Agent a duly completed Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, as applicable, (ii) the Facility Agent shall have executed such Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, as applicable, and (iii) the processing fee described in clause (viii) below shall have been paid.

(ii) Subject to:

(A) the Facility Agent performing all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the New Lender; and

(B) the Facility Agent (after consultation with the Funding Entity (if the Funding Agreement is then in effect) and upon the Lenders’ instructions) being satisfied if the Funding Agreement is then in effect that the security in favour of the Funding Entity under the Funding Agreement will not be adversely affected by the proposed transfer/assignment and confirming that, simultaneously with the transfer/assignment:

(I) the New Lender will have rights and/or obligations, as the case may be, of a borrower under the Funding Agreement equal in proportion to the rights and/or obligations hereunder being transferred or assigned to the New Lender; and

(II) the New Lender’s rights under the Finance Documents and the BpiFAE Insurance Policy will be delegated, pledged or assigned, as applicable, in favour of the Funding Entity to the same extent as the Existing Lender’s rights thereunder immediately prior to such transfer/assignment,

the Facility Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, as applicable, and promptly thereafter provide a copy thereof to the Borrower.

(iii) For as long as the Funding Agreement is in effect, any transfer or assignment under this Clause 13.11 (Lender Transfers, Assignments and Participations) shall not be effective unless (A) the New Lender shall have rights and/or obligations, as the case may be, of a borrower under the Funding Agreement equal in proportion to the rights and/or obligations hereunder being

113

transferred or assigned to the New Lender and (B) the New Lender’s rights under the Finance Documents and the BpiFAE Insurance Policy shall have been delegated, pledged or assigned, as applicable, in favour of the Funding Entity to the same extent as the Existing Lender’s rights thereunder immediately prior to such transfer/assignment. In addition, any transfer or assignment under paragraph (a)(iv) above shall not be effective unless Natixis is named as a co-insured under the BpiFAE Insurance Policy.

(iv) Any transfers or assignment must be in a minimum aggregate amount of fifteen million Euros (EUR 15,000,000) (or, if less, all of the existing Lender’s Commitment or portion of the Loan, as applicable).

(v) From and after the date that the Facility Agent executes the Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, as applicable, (A) the New Lender thereunder shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and/or obligations hereunder have been transferred or assigned to such New Lender in connection with such Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and/or obligations, as the case may be, of a Lender hereunder and under the other Finance Documents, and (B) the transferring/assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and/or obligations hereunder have been transferred or assigned by it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Finance Documents.

(vi) Except to the extent resulting from a change in law occurring after the date of a transfer or assignment (as the case may be), in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay to any New Lender any amount under Clauses 6.5 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.6 (Funding Losses), 6.7 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.8 (Taxes) or 6.9 (Reserve Costs) that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no such transfer or assignment been made.

(vii) Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement, confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Facility Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the Transfer Date and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

(viii) Any transferring/assigning Lender or the relevant New Lender must pay a processing fee to the Facility Agent upon delivery of any Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement in the amount of two thousand Euros (EUR 2,000) (and shall also reimburse the Facility Agent for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the assignment, unless a Default is continuing, in which case the Borrower shall be liable for such costs, fees

114

and expenses). Natixis shall not be required to pay any such processing fee or costs, fees or expenses in connection with a transfer or assignment made pursuant to paragraph (a)(iv) above.

(c) Limitation on Responsibility of Existing Lenders

(i) Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

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

(B) the financial condition of the Borrower;

(C) the performance and observance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

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

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

(ii) Each New Lender confirms to the relevant existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

(A) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document; and

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

(iii) Nothing in any Finance Document obliges any existing Lender to:

(A) accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 13.11 (Lender Transfers, Assignments and Participations); or

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

115

(d) Participations

Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions participating interests in its portion of the Loan without informing, consulting with or obtaining the consent of any other party to the Finance Documents; provided that:

(i) no participation contemplated in this paragraph (d) shall relieve such Lender from its obligations hereunder;

(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder;

(iii) the Borrower and the Facility Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Finance Documents; and

(iv) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Clauses 6.5 (Increased Loan Costs, etc.), 6.6 (Funding Losses), 6.7 (Increased Capital Costs), 6.8 (Taxes) or 6.9 (Reserve Costs) that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold.

(e) Lender Screen

The Facility Agent shall maintain in its internal data system an electronic file (the “Lender Screen”) identifying, at any time, (i) the then current Lenders, (ii) each such Lender’s then current Commitments or participations in the Loan, as the case may be, after the Disbursement Date, the amount of the then outstanding Loan owed to each such Lender and (iv) if applicable, the fact that such Lender acquired or sold its Commitments or participations in the Loan, as the case may be, pursuant to a Lender Transfer Certificate or Lender Assignment Agreement. The entries on the Lender Screen shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Upon reasonable prior notice, the Facility Agent shall make a screen-shot of the Lender Screen available to the Borrower and/or any Finance Party.

(f) Security Over Lenders’ rights

(i) In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 13.11 (Lender Transfers, Assignments and Participations), each Lender may at any time charge, assign or otherwise create security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender, including:

(A) any charge, assignment or other security to secure obligations to its federal reserve or central bank;

116

(B) upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, any charge, assignment or other security to secure obligations of that Lender for the benefit of any of its Affiliates;

(C) any delegation, pledge or assignment in favour of the Funding Entity in connection with the Funding Agreement; and

(D) in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

provided that any such charge, assignment or security shall:

(I) be made only with the Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except if it is made pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) above in which case no such consent shall be required;

(II) not release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or other security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; and

(III) not require any payments to be made by the Borrower or grant to any Person any more extensive rights than those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon enforcement by the Funding Entity of any delegation, pledge or assignment described in clause (i)(C) above in accordance with its terms, all rights of the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents which are subject to that delegation, pledge or assignment (as applicable) shall be transferred ipso jure to the Funding Entity which shall become the direct beneficiary of the same without the need for any formality (including, for the avoidance of doubt, without the need to comply with the procedures provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above).

(iii) Any Lender charging, assigning or otherwise creating security in or over any of its rights under the Finance Documents pursuant to this paragraph (f) or the relevant chargee, assignee or secured party (as applicable), other than the Funding Entity, shall reimburse the Facility Agent for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the relevant charge, assignment or other security.

(g) Borrower’s Lender Replacement Rights

In respect of any Lender (an “affected Lender”), if the Commitments of such affected Lender become cancellable pursuant to Clause 2.5 (Cancellation due to

117

Lender Illegality) or the Borrower is at any time required or entitled to cancel any Commitments of the affected Lender pursuant to Clause 6.12 (Cancellation of Commitment or Prepayment of Affected Lender) or prepay the affected Lender’s participation in the Loan pursuant to Clause 11.1(k) (Funding Agreement), Clause 11.1(m) (Illegality for Lenders) or Clause 11.1(n) (Illegality for the Funding Entity), the Borrower shall be entitled:

(i) in the case of any such cancellation of Commitments, within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of the relevant underlying event (which shall be at least thirty (30) days prior to the Scheduled Delivery Date or, if the requirement to cancel is due to an illegality, such shorter period as is required by law); and

(ii) in the case of any such prepayment, within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of the relevant underlying event or, if the requirement to prepay is due to an illegality, such shorter period as is required by law,

and (so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing) without liability for the Borrower for any premium or penalties but subject to any liability for Funding Losses to the extent provided for in Clause 6.6 (Funding Losses), to request that the affected Lender shall, and the affected Lender shall, use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the Funding Agreement (if it then maintains a Funded Loan Portion), the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with Natixis DAI relating to the CIRR) to:

(I) with the Funding Entity’s approval and, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, in consultation with the Borrower, replace itself with one or more Affiliates and/or one or more other financial institutions (including any financial institution(s) presented to the Lenders by the Borrower, which must have a minimum rating of at least A- by Standard & Poor’s and/or A3 by Xxxxx’x and must be approved by the Funding Entity); or

(II) transfer its Commitment and its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the other Finance Documents, the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if it then maintains a Funded Loan Portion) the Funding Agreement to one or more unaffected Lenders,

in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and provided that such efforts would avoid such cancellation or prepayment and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the affected Lender, be prejudicial or otherwise disadvantageous to the affected Lender and/or its Affiliates.

This paragraph (g) is without prejudice to the Lenders’ obligations under Clause 13.3 (Mitigation, Borrower Challenges, etc.).

118

13.12 Other Transactions

Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Facility Agent or any other Finance Party from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Finance Document, with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which the Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

13.13 BpiFAE Premium

(a) The Borrower shall exclusively bear the cost of the BpiFAE Premium. The Borrower shall pay the BpiFAE Premium to the Facility Agent (for the account of BpiFAE) with the proceeds of the disbursement of the Loan as specified in the Drawing Request.

(b) Subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) below, the BpiFAE Premium shall be in an aggregate amount of two point three five per cent. (2.35%) of the aggregate of the amounts made available under the Facility as described in Clause 2.2(a)(i)(A) to (D). The estimated maximum amount of the BpiFAE Premium as of the date of this Agreement is set out in Clause 2.2(a)(ii).

(c) The Borrower acknowledges that the maximum amount of the BpiFAE Premium set out in Clause 2.2(a)(ii) is based on the Maximum Loan Amount and the Final Maturity Date, and that the actual amount of the BpiFAE Premium will be equal to two point three five per cent. (2.35%) of the portion of the Loan which is actually borrowed by the Borrower in respect of the items listed in Clause 2.2(a)(i)(A) to (D). The Borrower shall make payment of the actual amount of the BpiFAE Premium notwithstanding that such actual amount may be different from the estimated maximum amount set out in Clause 2.2(a)(ii).

(d) If the Longstop Date is extended by agreement between the Borrower and the Lenders, the BpiFAE Premium may be redetermined by BpiFAE and notified to the Borrower by the Facility Agent, and any increase thereof shall be promptly paid by the Borrower to the Facility Agent with the Borrower’s own funds.

(e) Notwithstanding the above, a minimum premium being, as of the date of this Agreement, in an amount of one thousand five hundred and fifteen Euros (EUR 1,515) shall be paid to BpiFAE by the Borrower in respect of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy upon the execution of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy. Such amount shall remain the property of BpiFAE and is accordingly payable by the Borrower to BpiFAE in any event.

(f) The Borrower acknowledges that the obligation to pay one hundred per cent. (100%) of the BpiFAE Premium out of, and subject to, the Disbursement (subject to paragraph (d) above) and to pay all other duly documented costs of BpiFAE incurred in connection with the BpiFAE Insurance Policy at the times required under the foregoing paragraphs of this Clause 13.13 (BpiFAE Premium) is absolute and unconditional.

(g) If, following the Disbursement Date, the Borrower:

119

(i) voluntarily prepays all or part of the Loan, BpiFAE will refund to the Facility Agent, for the account of the Lenders and ultimately the Borrower, eighty per cent. (80%) of the unexpired BpiFAE Premium (save in respect of the additional BpiFAE Premium payable in relation to the Deferred Tranche), calculated in accordance with the following formula:

R = P x (1 – (1 / (1+2.35%)) x (N / (12 * 365)) x 80%

where:

“R” means the amount of the refund;

“P” means the amount of the prepayment;

“N” means the number of days between the effective prepayment date and the Final Maturity Date; and

P x (1 – (1 / (1+2.35%)) corresponds to the share of the financed BpiFAE Premium corresponding to P; and

(ii) prepays all or part of the Loan for any reason other than a voluntary prepayment, the Facility Agent shall promptly request that BpiFAE refund to the Facility Agent, for the account of the Lenders and ultimately the Borrower, eighty per cent. (80%) of the unexpired BpiFAE Premium, calculated in accordance with the formula set out in clause (i) above,

and in any such case, upon the Facility Agent’s receipt of any such reimbursement from BpiFAE, the full amount of such reimbursement shall be repaid by the Facility Agent to the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, should the Facility Agent not receive any such reimbursement from BpiFAE, it shall have no payment obligations towards the Borrower. However, the Facility Agent shall duly demand the payment of such reimbursement from BpiFAE in each case in which the right to such reimbursement arises under this paragraph (g).

(h) Subject only to paragraph (g) above, the BpiFAE Premium is not refundable to the Borrower for any reason whatsoever and the portion of the Loan made for purposes of financing the BpiFAE Premium shall be repaid in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof.

If the appointment of the Person mentioned in this paragraph (d) ceases to be effective in respect of the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately notify the Facility Agent and appoint a further Person in England to accept service of process on its behalf in England and, failing such appointment within fifteen (15) days, the Facility Agent shall be entitled, at the cost of the Borrower, to appoint such Person by notice to the Borrower.

(e) Waiver of Immunity

To the extent that the Borrower may in any jurisdiction claim for itself or its assets or revenues immunity from suit, execution, attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to itself, its assets or revenues such immunity (whether or not claimed), the Borrower irrevocably agrees not to claim, and irrevocably waives, such immunity to the full extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.

The Principles

CRUISE DEBT HOLIDAY PRINCIPLES

This document sets out the key principles for a temporary suspension of repayments and testing of financial covenants (the “Debt Holiday”) for BPI France covered loan agreements (“Loan Agreement”) in connection with the financing of cruise vessels.

1. Preamble

The current Corona-pandemic impacts the global tourism industry including all cruise operators ("Companies" or if related to an individual operator "Company"). All cruise ship operation will be ceased or is already ceased globally mainly due to government order directly or indirectly by port or border closures. The shutdown of cruise operations may have substantial negative impact on European cruise related jobs as well as on the cruise yards with its vast supplier and subcontractor network.

Since all Companies are effected in the same manner governmental support shall apply to all Companies in a coordinated process with equal treatment of all cruise operators. The intention of the Debt Holiday Initiative is to provide an interim relief to the Companies in its debt service obligations under existing financings. Apart from supporting the Companies, it is the firm understanding of the Lenders together with the respective ECAs that Companies taking advantage of the relief shall use its best endeavors fulfilling their contractual obligations under their existing shipbuilding contracts with the yard, i.e. do not unreasonably, unduly, and without consultation delay instalments and scheduled vessel deliveries and work in good faith with the yards to resolve any crisis-related construction delays.

For the avoidance of doubt, all measures to maintain a sufficient liquidity position of the Company during the crisis and later recovery phase will be considered reasonably by ECA in regards to the below Terms and Conditions.

A support package which is based on the Terms and Conditions below has been coordinated with BPI France and shall be applicable to all disbursed and undisbursed BPI France covered (whether benefiting from CIRR cover or not) export financings ("Export Financing") for the cruise sector.

Individual amendments of loan agreements shall be based on the Terms and Conditions outlined below.

2. Effective Date and Term

Debt Holiday may be applied to all amortization / principal payments of disbursed Export Financings from 01 April 2020 until 31 March 2021 (“Deferred Payments” and also the “Deferral Period”).

Debt Holiday Terms and Conditions shall be effective from Wednesday, 01 April 2020, subject to formal and acceptable amendment to the existing legal documentation and conditions precedents as customary for this kind of financing (“Closing Date”) being in place and in full force. Should the legal documentation and/or the conditions precedents not been met by Wednesday, 01 April 2020, the benefit of such Debt Holiday Terms and Conditions shall be made retroactively, whereby inter alia any amortization / principal payments which have been made between 01 April 2020 included and the Closing Date shall be made available for drawdown / reimbursement pursuant to the “ECA New Tranche” as defined here below.

F-1

3. Terms and Conditions

3.1. Deferred Payments

3.1.1. Deferred Payments shall include the sums described in clause 2 as well the sums described in clause 3.4.2.

3.1.2. Any Deferred Payments must be redeemed within 5 years (latest until 31. March 2025) irrespective of remaining tenor of each individual Export Financing.

3.1.3. Repayment schedule of Deferred Payments may be determined individually and if remaining tenor of Export Financing is less than 5 years, prolongation of original final maturity of Export Financing is possible.

3.1.4. Deferred Payments shall be accounted for as a new loan tranche ("ECA New Tranche") which shall be made available in several drawdowns and in the form of a stretch facility structured as an additional tranche to the existing Export Financing facility and sharing the security package of the existing Export Financing facility on a pro-rata, pari-passu basis. Each relevant drawdown under the ECA New Tranche shall be made at the same time*, and for the same amount of principal payment, as each relevant Deferred Payment during the Deferral Period under the original Export Financing. Any drawdown fully available to the Company, once all relevant condition precedents are met, shall be cancelled if not used by the Company within 5 business days.

[* or as soon as possible in the case described in paragraph 2. whereby the documentation and the CPs for drawdown under the ECA Debt Holiday Tranche may not be completed and in full force and effect by the first repayment otherwise due during the Deferral Period]

The ECA New Tranche shall be priced on a floating rate basis according to the underlying Export Financing Loan Agreement and at the same margin as the one defined in the Export Financing Loan Agreement, with a separate repayment schedule. For Export Financing with a remaining tenor of more than 5 years, the Debt Holiday Tranche should be repaid in up to 8 equal half-yearly instalments beginning on the first regular repayment date after 1 April 2021 (other arrangements possible) due under the relevant Export Financing if no other repayment scheduled has been agreed and approved by the ECA. Voluntary prepayments of the ECA New Tranche are permitted at any time, if during interest period breakage cost may apply.

3.1.5. Additional imputed/calculative funding cost incurred by funding provider (Lender) due to Deferred Payments shall be borne by the borrower (or Company). Each funding provider may quote and charge its individual imputed/calculative funding cost, as may be governed by the underlying Loan Agreement. Commitment fees shall be due and payable under the ECA New Tranche from the date of effectiveness of the ECA New Tranche at the rate applicable under the Export Financing Loan Agreement.

3.2. Suspension of Financial Covenant Testing

Testing of all agreed Financial Covenants on all existing Export Financings (disbursed and undisbursed) may be suspended from 01 April 2020 until 31 March 2021 ("Testing Suspension"), Financial Covenants undertakings according to the Loan Documentation remain in place but non-compliance shall not trigger an Event of Default as defined under the corresponding Loan Agreement unless the Company has entered into all-lender restructuring or moratorium, customary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

3.3. Interest

F-2

3.3.1. Notwithstanding any amount otherwise due under the ECA New Tranche, Interest (floating or fixed), (or commitment fee on undisbursed amounts) and any scheduled ECA premium payments shall continue to be payable, under the original Export Financing as and when due.

3.3.2. Agreed interest margin and fixed interest rate on amounts outstanding including Deferred Payments shall not be increased due to Debt Holiday, however any agreed margin grid terms according to the Loan Agreement shall remain effective and will apply.

3.4.2. BPI France shall be entitled to charge an additional insurance premium on the ECA New Tranche). Any additional premium on the ECA New Tranche shall be due and payable by the Borrower in its entirety at the time of the first drawdown under the ECA New Tranche, and may be financed by an increase of the ECA New Tranche as granted by the lenders (in which case, such additional amount to benefit from the same ECA cover and a premium on premium amount to be calculated and applied by the ECA agent).

3.4.3. It is an express condition of the support by BPI France in reference to any ECA Debt Holiday support that the Company (or its relevant subsidiaries) shall undertake to continue to perform its obligations under any and all signed shipbuilding contracts covered by a BPI Export Financing, including but not limited to making all scheduled ship building contract instalments (or such similar arrangement of the same effect), save for any changes which may be agreed between the shipyard and the Company, in consultation with BPI France.

Any failure to do so shall trigger:

·           During the Deferral Period: a freeze and cancellation of any amounts yet to be drawn under all ECA New Tranches, and the immediate prepayment of all sums already drawn under the ECA New Tranches granted to the Company.

·           After the Deferral Period: the immediate termination of all ECA New Tranches and the prepayment of all sums due and payable under the ECA New Tranches granted to the Company.

The Company shall inform promptly BPI France and all Facility Agent of any event under clause 3.4.3 which may trigger any freeze or prepayment under ECA Debt Holiday Tranche granted under an Export Financing. Any incurred legal and administrative cost shall be borne by the borrower (or Company).

F-3

3.5. Conditions / Liquidity measures

Any dividend payment, any share buy-back program or any other distribution or payment to share capital or shareholders (including repayment of shareholder loans) and/or any new regular debt (save if raised in consideration of capex already committed by the Company but not yet financed and / or for the rollover of balloons under existing financings or the rollover of existing bonds, a list of which shall be provided as part of the Information Package see 4.2 for the review and acceptance of BPI and the Lenders), or equity issue (such as bond or new equity emission) by the Company shall trigger mandatory and immediate prepayment of any outstanding ECA New Tranche and immediate cessation of Testing Suspension. For the sake of good order, regular debt raised to meet minor capex/investment of less than [Eur 3 million or its equivalent] shall not trigger a mandatory and immediate prepayment of any outstanding ECA New Tranche and immediate cessation of Testing Suspension, if such capex/investment is financed in the ordinary course of business or if paid out of existing equity by the Company.
