3.Assumption of liability and obligations

a.Substitution

It is hereby agreed that, as and with effect from the Novation Effective Time:

1.the New Borrower shall be, and is hereby made, a party to the Principal Agreement in substitution for the Existing Borrower; and

2.the Principal Agreement shall be amended and restated as set out in clause 4.

b.Assumption of liability

The New Borrower hereby agrees with the Finance Parties that, as and with effect from the Novation Effective Time, it shall be indebted to the Finance Parties for the full amount of the Novated Loan Balance and, when drawn pursuant to clause 5.2 (and as adjusted pursuant to clause 5.3), the Additional Advances and the New Borrower further agrees that from the Novation Effective Time it shall duly and punctually perform all the liabilities and obligations to be performed or discharged in respect of the Novated Loan Balance under the Novated Credit Agreement and shall be bound by the terms of the Novated Credit Agreement from the Novation Effective Time as the “Borrower” thereunder.

c.Release

The Existing Borrower and the Finance Parties hereby agree that, as and with effect from the Novation Effective Time, they shall each mutually release and discharge each other from all liabilities, obligations, claims and demands whatsoever under or touching or concerning the Principal Agreement and in respect of anything done or omitted to be done under or in connection therewith except that if at the Novation Effective Time there are any outstanding liabilities of the Existing Borrower under the Principal Agreement which are the subject of an indemnity claim against the Seller pursuant to clause 7 of the Receivable Purchase Agreement, to prevent the Finance Parties losing the ability to recover those claims against the Seller, such liabilities shall be preserved against the Existing Borrower until such claims are satisfied.

d.No liability

The Finance Parties hereby confirm to the New Borrower, that except for the obligations in respect of the Novated Loan Balance which are, with effect from the Novation Effective Time, to be assumed by the New Borrower pursuant to clause 3.2, the New Borrower shall have no liability, and the Finance Parties shall have no recourse whatsoever to the New Borrower or any of its assets, in respect of any liabilities, obligations, claims and demands whatsoever under or touching or concerning the Principal Agreement or in respect of anything done or omitted to be done under or in connection therewith.

e.Novated Loan Balance

The Facility Agent agrees that:

3.following each Drawdown Date (and at any other time upon reasonable request), it will provide the New Borrower with an update in relation to the amount of the outstanding Loan;

4.not less than ten Banking Days prior to the anticipated Actual Delivery Date, it will consult with the New Borrower regarding the anticipated amount of the Novated Loan Balance as at the anticipated Novation Effective Time to enable the New Borrower to confirm and verify this amount (having regard to paragraphs (a) and (b) of the definition of Novated Loan Balance) and satisfy itself that it is an amount which reflects the expected drawdown of the Loan during the period prior to the Actual Delivery Date and that the same does not include any Unsecured Advances. The New Borrower shall promptly confirm its acceptance of the amount or, if applicable, raise any questions as to the calculation of this amount with the Facility Agent so that the amount can be approved prior to the Novation Effective Time; and

5.as part of the process of agreeing the Novated Loan Balance it will participate in the preparation of the delivery funds flow agreement referred to in clause 13.6 of the Buyer Consent Agreement.

f.Prepayment in respect of overpaid Purchase Price

If at the Novation Effective Time the Seller has become liable to make a refund of the Purchase Price pursuant to clause 2.5 of the Receivable Purchase Agreement and has not made payment of that refund such that a partial prepayment of the Loan in an amount equal to that refund (the Refund Prepayment Amount) has not been made, the New Borrower shall prepay an amount of the Novated Loan Balance corresponding to that Refund Prepayment Amount on the Novation Effective Date, such prepayment to be without premium, penalty or breakage costs, and shall be by way of a regularly scheduled required prepayment (and not a requirement to make payment prior to the scheduled maturity thereof).

Where any such prepayment is required by the New Borrower pursuant to this clause 3.6:

6.the relevant amount of such prepayment may, if requested by the New Borrower, be deducted from the amount of the Additional Advances to be made available to the New Borrower on the Novation Effective Date and, where the New Borrower has requested that the prepayment required under this clause 3.6 be deducted from the Additional Advances, an actual payment shall only be required by the New Borrower if the prepayment amount exceeds the aggregate amount of the Additional Advances to be advanced to the New Borrower; and

7.the New Borrower shall be entitled to exercise its rights under clause 13.2(b) of the Buyer Consent Agreement.

It is agreed that the liability of the New Borrower in respect of the Refund Prepayment Amount under this clause shall not exceed the amounts referred to in clause 13.2(a) of the Buyer Consent Agreement.

g.Notification of set-off

Where clause 7.5 (Set-off for unpaid amounts) of the Receivable Purchase Agreement applies and an amount is to be deducted from the Payment Amount due to the Seller in relation to any amount due and owing by the Seller to the Existing Borrower or the Finance Parties under the Transaction Documents which remains unpaid at the Drawdown Date for an Advance (an unpaid amount) and that unpaid amount will consequently be retained from the relevant Advance under clause 2.2(d) of the Principal Agreement, the Facility Agent shall notify the New Borrower before the relevant Drawdown Date of the unpaid amount (together with reasonable

details of the type, amount and the manner in which such amount, and all components thereof, have been calculated).

4.Amendment and restatement of Principal Agreement

The Principal Agreement shall, with effect on and from the Novation Effective Time, be (and it is hereby) amended and restated so as to read in accordance with the form of the Novated Credit Agreement set out in Schedule 3 and (as so amended and restated) will be binding upon each of the parties thereto in accordance with its terms as so amended and restated.

5.Loan currency, Additional Advances and undrawn Commitments under the Principal Agreement

a.Currency conversion

On the Novation Effective Date the Additional Advances to be drawndown by the New Borrower on the Novation Effective Date shall be made available in Dollars in accordance with the following provisions of this clause 5 and the Novated Credit Agreement and thereafter the Novated Loan Balance shall be converted from euro to Dollars by reference to the US Dollar Equivalent (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement) of such amount.

b.Additional Advances

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Novation Effective Date, the New Borrower shall be entitled to borrow further advances (the Additional Advances) in Dollars in respect of the following amounts:

i.an amount of up to 80% of the incurred Non-Yard Costs (of up to €150,000,000) and the Other Basic Contract Price Increases paid or to be paid by the New Borrower under the Building Contract of up to EUR 68,000,000, (but which, when aggregated with the Non-

Yard Costs, shall not exceed an amount equal to EUR 175,000,000); and

ii.an amount equal to 100% of the BpiFAE Premium as calculated in accordance with Section 11.13.1(b) of the Novated Credit Agreement as at the Novation Effective Time, which amount shall be divided into two parts:

1.the amount payable by the New Borrower to BpiFAE in respect of such part of the BpiFAE Premium which remains payable to BpiFAE at the Novation Effective Date; and

2.the balance, which shall, subject to the New Borrower’s set-off rights referred to in clause 13.3 of the Buyer Consent Agreement, be payable by the New Borrower to the Seller in reimbursement of the amounts which have been deducted from the Payment Amounts in respect of the BpiFAE Premium pursuant to the Receivable Purchase Agreement,

provided however that the aggregate amount of the Additional Advances (as adjusted, where relevant, under clause 5.3), when added to the Novated Loan Balance (or, if different and to the extent applicable, the aggregate of any amounts advanced in respect of the Facility (and not of the Additional Advances) in the manner contemplated by clause 5.4), shall not exceed the Maximum Loan Amount.

The Weighted Average Rate of Exchange shall be used to calculate the Dollar amount of the Additional Advance referred to in clause 5.2(a) and the Spot Rate of Exchange shall be used to calculate the Dollar amount of the Additional Advance referred to in clause 5.2(b).

The Additional Advance referred to in clause 5.2(b)(i) shall be paid directly to BpiFAE in the manner described in Section 2.3(d) of the Novated Credit Agreement.

c.Adjustment of Additional Advances

On the Novation Effective Date, the parties hereby agree that the aggregate amount of the Additional Advances (other than the amount referred to in clause 5.2(b)(i)) shall be adjusted, as applicable, by a Dollar amount (the Adjustment Amount) equal to the product of:

i.the difference obtained by subtracting the Spot Rate of Exchange on the Actual Delivery Date from the Weighted Average Rate of Exchange; and

ii.the Novated Loan Balance.

If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, the aggregate amount of the Additional Advances to be drawn in Dollars shall be increased by such Adjustment Amount.

Conversely, if the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, the aggregate amount of the Additional Advances to be drawn in Dollars shall be decreased by such Adjustment Amount, provided however, if such Adjustment Amount exceeds the amount of the Additional Advances that would have been advanced in Dollars but for the operation of this clause (and subject to any agreement reached to the contrary in the delivery funds flow agreement referred to in clause 3.5(c)), no Dollar Additional Advances will be made and the New Borrower shall prepay (in Dollars) an amount of the Novated Loan Balance corresponding to that excess amount on the Novation Effective Date (a Section 5.3 Prepayment), such prepayment to be without premium, penalty or breakage costs, and shall be by way of a regularly scheduled required prepayment (and not a requirement to make payment prior to the scheduled maturity thereof). Any failure by the New Borrower to make the Section 5.3 Prepayment on the Novation Effective Date shall be capable of giving rise to an Event of Default under Section 8.1.1 of the Novated Credit Agreement unless waived by, or alternative arrangements are agreed with, the Required Lenders (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement) acting on the instructions of BpiFAE.

d.Undrawn Commitments under the Principal Agreement

In the event that either:

i.the Existing Borrower has not drawn the full amount of the Total Commitments under the Principal Agreement at the Novation Effective Date; or

ii.the Total Commitments under the Principal Agreement have been cancelled or reduced before the Novation Effective Date and this is not as a result of a cancellation of the Building Contract by the Seller due to a Buyer Specified Event; or

iii.it is not possible for the Facility to be made available to the Existing Borrower to the satisfaction of the Seller and the New Borrower,

the Finance Parties agree that if the Vessel continues to be constructed by the Seller in France and the BpiFAE Insurance Policy continues to be maintained (or, if applicable, reinstated or reissued) then, if required by the New Borrower, the Facility will continue to be available to the New Borrower and the amount of the Facility shall be the amount that it would otherwise have been but for the occurrence of the events referred to in (a) to (c) above and such Facility shall include, without limitation, amounts to finance or refinance any reasonable completion expenses (the Completion Expenses) incurred by the New Borrower in completing the Vessel (of the type contemplated by Article XI 5 of the Building Contract and, where applicable, up to the amount of such Completion Expenses agreed pursuant to clause 10.2 of the Buyer Consent Agreement).

If this clause applies and the New Borrower exercises its rights to continue to have the Facility made available to it on the Actual Delivery Date or (with the prior consent of BpiFAE, not to be unreasonably withheld and having regard to the provisions relating to BpiFAE below) before the Actual Delivery Date this will either be through a novation, amendment and restatement of the Principal Agreement in the manner contemplated by clauses 3 and 4 or through the execution of a new credit agreement based substantially on the terms of the Novated Credit Agreement, but in each case updated to the extent necessary to reflect the additional amounts which would

need to be made available thereunder in addition to the Additional Advances and, when applicable, in respect of the Completion Expenses, to allow the New Borrower to draw and/or assume by way of novation an amount in aggregate up to the Maximum Loan Amount and to reflect any agreed changes related to the New Borrower’s hedging arrangements in respect of the Contract Price. In these circumstances the Finance Parties and the New Borrower shall, in good faith, agree such changes to this Agreement and/or the Novated Credit Agreement or agree and thereafter enter into a new credit agreement of the type referred to above, so as to place the New Borrower in all material respects in the same position it would have been had the Facility been fully available during the pre-delivery period in the manner set out in the Transaction Documents.

Where this clause applies, the amount of the Facility available to the New Borrower shall not exceed the Maximum Loan Amount and the amount of the indebtedness of the Existing Borrower under the Principal Agreement which the New Borrower may be required to assume by way of novation shall not exceed an amount equal to the Novated Loan Balance at the relevant time.

It is acknowledged that BpiFAE have confirmed that they will agree to continue, reinstate or reissue the BpiFAE cover in circumstances where this clause applies and the New Borrower is to draw the Facility on the Actual Delivery Date. Formal consent of BpiFAE will be required in relation to (i) any availability of the Facility to the New Borrower before the Actual Delivery Date and (ii) the arrangements and the terms of any new or novated facility agreement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The New Borrower and the Finance Parties agree to co- operate in good faith and use reasonable efforts to procure such consent.

In addition, where this clause applies, the New Borrower agrees that:

(A)the amounts payable to the Lenders in respect of arrangement fees in respect of the Facility (as set out in the relevant Fee Letter attached to any Fee Letter signed by the New Borrower) and the BpiFAE Premium payable to BpiFAE, shall continue to be payable in full and the New Borrower shall be required, where it does not currently have responsibility for the full payment of all those amounts, to assume responsibility for the payment of such amounts (it being acknowledged that the New Borrower shall not have any responsibility for payment of amounts of BpiFAE Premium already paid to BpiFAE pursuant to the Receivable Purchase Agreement where these amounts have not been (or will not be) refunded due to the cancellation of the Facility); and

(B)it shall be liable to pay commitment fees on the basis set out in Section 3.4 (Commitment Fees) of the Novated Credit Agreement (but without double counting in relation to any amounts due under clause 10.1).

The Finance Parties agree that this clause 5.4 shall apply notwithstanding that the Initial Effective Date may not occur.

e.Borrowing procedure for Additional Advances

The New Borrower and the Finance Parties agree that the procedures set out in Article II (Commitments and borrowing procedures) of the Novated Credit Agreement shall apply in relation to the borrowing of the Additional Advances and, if applicable (and subject to any agreed amendments arising pursuant to clause 5.4), any amounts under clause 5.4.

f.Notification of New Borrower’s hedging arrangements

8.In connection with the calculation of the Weighted Average Rate of Exchange, the New Borrower agrees to provide the Facility Agent with the information referred to in this clause

5.6. The New Borrower and the Facility Agent agree to have an initial discussion in relation to the calculation by no later than the date falling 60 days before the anticipated Actual Delivery Date and thereafter, following the invoicing of the Non-Yard Costs to the Builder (on or about the date falling 30 days before the anticipated Actual Delivery Date),

the New Borrower and the Facility Agent will further discuss the calculation of the Weighted Average Rate of Exchange during the period up to the Novation Effective Time.

9.The New Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent (who shall promptly forward the same to the Lenders and BpiFAE), on a quarterly basis following the Signing Date, a schedule of the Weighted Average Rate of Exchange, accompanied by copies of confirmations or screen shots evidencing the entry into, termination or modification of any trades or fixings effected during such quarter under any agreements entered into by the New Borrower from time to time in spot or forward currency markets for the purchase of euros with Dollars in order to pay the Contract Price or fix the NYC Applicable Rate.

10.Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, on or between the tenth and second Banking Days prior to the date on which the New Borrower intends to deliver the Loan Request (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement) to the Facility Agent, the New Borrower shall deliver to the Facility Agent (who shall promptly forward the same to the Lenders and BpiFAE) the New Borrower's preliminary written calculation in reasonable detail of the Weighted Average Rate of Exchange (to the extent not previously provided) and the New Borrower shall also provide copies or other evidence of such currency hedges as the Facility Agent may reasonably require.

In calculating the amount of commitment fee due to each Lender on each Commitment Fee Payment Date (as defined in Section 3.4), the Facility Agent shall take into account whether any Lender was a Defaulting Lender at any time during the period since the previous Commitment Fee Payment Date. For this purpose, each Lender agrees that it will notify the Facility Agent, the other Lenders and the New Borrower if it becomes a Defaulting Lender. In the event that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders have not confirmed to the New Borrower within five Banking Days of receiving the notice referred to above that they will honour the commitment of any Defaulting Lender, no commitment fee shall be payable to the Facility Agent for the account of a Lender on any unused portion of the Maximum Loan Amount of that Lender for any day on which that Lender was a Defaulting Lender. If the other Lenders (or any of them) have confirmed within such five Banking Day period that they will honour all or part of a Defaulting Lender’s commitment, the commitment fee shall continue to be payable in respect of the relevant portion of the Defaulting Lender’s commitment so honoured.

b.Cancellation

The New Borrower may, by written notice to the Facility Agent at any time prior to the date falling not less than ten days prior to the anticipated Actual Delivery Date (and which shall also be a minimum period of not less than 10 Banking Days prior to the proposed date of cancellation set out in the New Borrower’s notice, the Notified Cancellation Date), without premium or penalty (except as may be required by clause 10.5), terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitment (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement). Any such termination or reduction of the Commitment shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments. Where the Commitment is cancelled in full or in part the New Borrower shall pay on the date of such cancellation all amounts, including any fees and commissions which have accrued but remain unpaid at such date and any breakage costs payable pursuant to clause 10.5, which are due and owing by the New Borrower to the Finance Parties at such date pursuant to this Agreement or any Fee Letter or any mandate letter entered into in connection with the Transaction Documents to which the New Borrower is a party to the extent that such amounts are the subject of invoices from the Facility Agent to the New Borrower received by the New Borrower not less than two Banking Days prior to the date of such cancellation (the Invoiced Amounts). It is acknowledged and agreed that where the Commitment is cancelled in full the effectiveness of any such proposed cancellation shall be conditional on the payment of the Invoiced Amounts (but on the basis that commitment fees under clause 10.1 shall cease on the Notified Cancellation Date). The ECA Agent shall in such circumstances use reasonable endeavours to provide the New Borrower with both an indicative calculation of any potential breakage costs arising from the proposed cancellation as soon as practicable following receipt of the cancellation notice and an invoice in respect of any actual breakage amounts as soon as practicable prior to the Notified Cancellation Date. If no invoices have been issued for any such amounts (the Non-Invoiced Amounts), such Non-Invoiced Amounts shall be payable by the New Borrower following the Notified Cancellation Date upon the second Banking Day following receipt of the relevant invoices. Where the Commitment is cancelled in part, the allocation of such cancellation between the Novated Loan Balance and the Additional Advances shall be determined at the relevant time of cancellation at the New Borrower’s election made in its discretion after consultation with the other parties concerned including Natixis DAI and BpiFAE (but on the basis that any allocation of any such partial cancellation cannot cause the Novated Loan Balance to be reduced to zero and will be subject to BpiFAE confirming it has no objection to such allocation). In addition, where the Commitment is cancelled in part, any amounts required to be paid by the New Borrower under this clause in respect of such cancellation which remain outstanding at the Novation Effective Time shall be treated as a liability on the New Borrower under the Novated Credit Agreement.

c.Prepayment of Loan under the Principal Agreement

Where a cancellation notice in respect of the full amount of the Commitment is given by the New Borrower in accordance with 10.2:

26.the provisions of clause 3 shall not apply and accordingly the Novation Effective Time shall not be capable of occurring; and

27.the Existing Borrower and the Finance Parties hereby acknowledge that the Loan will be prepaid in full on the Actual Delivery Date in accordance with clause 4.3(e) of the Principal Agreement but that the Principal Agreement shall otherwise continue in force in accordance with its terms and the Facility will continue to be available to the Existing Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Principal Agreement.

d.BpiFAE Premium

It is acknowledged by the parties that if the New Borrower voluntarily cancels all or any of the Commitment under clause 10.2, the New Borrower shall not be obliged to pay (or reimburse the Existing Borrower or the Seller for) all or any part of the BpiFAE Premium.

e.Fixed rate breakage costs

If the New Borrower:

28.voluntarily cancels all or any of the Commitment under clause 10.2;

29.voluntarily cancels all or any of the Commitment after it has exercised its rights under clause 4.3 of the Buyer Consent Agreement; or

30.subject to the proviso below, does not borrow the Maximum Loan Amount as a result of the Contract Price being reduced in accordance with Article III of the Building Contract (resulting in a corresponding cancellation of part of the Commitment),

the New Borrower shall pay to the Facility Agent breakage costs in the amount notified to it following a calculation of such breakage costs based on the methodology referred to in Section 4.4.1b) of the Novated Credit Agreement and on the basis that for this purpose references in such clause to prepayment and prepay shall be treated as references to cancellation and the basis for the calculation of any breakage costs shall be determined by reference to:

i.if:

a.the Commitment is cancelled in full, 80% of €1,097,411,000; or

b.the Commitment is partially cancelled, the amount which is 80% of

€1,097,411,000 minus the un-cancelled Commitment; and

ii.24 assumed semi-annual repayment instalments starting from the Expected Delivery Date at the Signing Date.

Provided however that no breakage costs will be charged under clauses 10.5(a), 10.5(b) or 10.5(c) above if the Loan (as defined in the Novated Credit Agreement) assumed by and/or advanced to the New Borrower on the Novation Effective Date or otherwise pursuant to any restated or new credit agreement entered into in accordance with clause 5.4 equals or exceeds the US Dollar Equivalent of €877,928,800 (being 80% of €1,097,411,000).

For the purpose of calculating the Dollar amount of the breakage costs under this clause, the notional amount of the Loan shall be converted to a corresponding Dollar amount on the basis of the Spot Rate of Exchange on the date which is two Banking Days prior to the date of effective cancellation.

It is acknowledged and agreed for all purposes of this Agreement and the Novated Credit Agreement that the New Borrower shall not be liable to pay (or indemnify any Indemnified Party under Section 11.4 of the Novated Credit Agreement in respect of) any breakage costs related to the Fixed Rate in the event the Fixed Rate is not available as a result of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1.10 of the Novated Credit Agreement not being satisfied for any reason other than due to the New Borrower’s own breach of the terms of this Agreement.

11.Satisfaction of Receivable, releases and BpiFAE Insurance Policy

a.Receivable

The Existing Borrower and the New Borrower agree that the assumption by the New Borrower of the Existing Borrower’s obligation to repay the Novated Loan Balance on the Novation Effective Date shall satisfy the obligation of the New Borrower to pay the Receivable to the Existing Borrower (as purchaser of the Receivable from the Seller pursuant to the Receivable Purchase Agreement).

b.Release of Security Documents on Novation Effective Date

It is acknowledged that on the Novation Effective Date (and subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents):

31.the Mortgage will be released (but without prejudice to the Finance Parties’ obligation to release the Mortgage in accordance with clause 11.1 of the Buyer Consent Agreement);

32.the Borrower Assignment (and any security assigned thereunder) and the Share Security will be released;

33.the Security Trustee will be released from its obligations under the Security Trust Deed and the Agency and Trust Deed;

34.the Facility Agent, the French Coordinating Bank and the ECA Agent will be released from their respective obligations under the Agency and Trust Deed (on the basis that the provisions of Article X of the Novated Credit Agreement will then apply); and

35.the Facility Guarantors shall be released from their obligations under the Facility Guarantees,

and the parties to such documents agree to enter into such documentation as the Facility Agent or any other party may reasonably require in order to effect such releases and discharges.

c.BpiFAE Insurance Policy

It is acknowledged that the BpiFAE Insurance Policy will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence of the Novation Effective Date.

12.Assignment and transfers

The provisions of clause 14 (Assignment, transfer and facility office) of the Principal Agreement shall apply with equal effect to the Existing Borrower and the Finance Parties in relation to this Agreement as if the same were expressly stated herein and references therein to “the Agreement” shall be construed as references to this Agreement. Except to the extent permitted under section 7.2.6 of the Novated Credit Agreement, the New Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

13.Miscellaneous and notices

a.Notices

c.Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999

36.With the exception of BpiFAE, no term of this Agreement is enforceable under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by a person who is not a party to this Agreement.

37.Notwithstanding any term of this Agreement, the consent of any person who is not a party to this Agreement is not required to amend or vary this Agreement at any time.

d.Rights of New Borrower under the Principal Agreement

It is agreed where any rights are expressed to be conferred on the New Borrower (as Buyer) under the Principal Agreement, the New Borrower shall be entitled to the benefit of such rights as if it were a party to the Principal Agreement for the sole purpose of those rights (and clause

17.7 of the Principal Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly).

e.New Borrower payments

The provisions of section 3.3.4 (Post Maturity Rates) and 4.6 (Taxes) of the Novated Credit Agreement shall be deemed to apply in relation to any non-payment or, as the case may be, payments of amounts required to be made by the New Borrower to any of the Finance Parties under this Agreement as if the same was expressly incorporated herein and references therein to “the Agreement” shall be construed as references to this Agreement.

f.Confidentiality

The Lenders agree to be bound by the terms of clause 24 of the Buyer Consent Agreement as if the same were set out in full herein and as if references to a Party in that clause included a Lender.

14.Governing law and jurisdiction

a.Law

This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations connected with it are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with English law.

b.Submission to jurisdiction

The Existing Borrower and the New Borrower agree, for the benefit of the Finance Parties, that any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement against the Existing Borrower and/or the New Borrower or any of its assets (including any non-contractual obligations) may be brought in the English courts.

The parties further agree that only the courts of England and not those of any other country shall have jurisdiction to determine any claim which the Existing Borrower and/or the New Borrower may have against any of the Finance Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

c.Waiver of immunity

To the extent that the Existing Borrower or the New Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its assets, each of the Existing Borrower and the New Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

IN WITNESS whereof the parties to this Agreement have caused this Agreement to be duly executed on the date first above written.

ARTICLE II

COMMITMENTS AND BORROWING PROCEDURES

SECTION 2.1. Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including Article V), each Lender severally agrees to make its portion of the Loan pursuant to its Commitment described in Section 2.2. No Lender’s obligation to make its portion of the Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to make its portion of the Loan.

SECTION 2.2. Commitment of the Lenders; Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

a)Each Lender will make its portion of the Loan available to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3 on the Actual Delivery Date. The commitment of each Lender described in this Section 2.2 (herein referred to as its “Commitment”) shall be the commitment of such Lender to make available to the Borrower its portion of the Loan hereunder expressed as the initial amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on its signature page attached hereto or, in the case of any Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to an assignment pursuant to Section 11.11.1, the amount set forth as such Lender’s Commitment in the related Lender Assignment Agreement, in each case as such amount may be reduced from time to time pursuant clause 10.2 of the Novation Agreement or reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to assignments by or to such Lender pursuant to Section 11.11.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender’s Commitment shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the Commitment Termination Date if the Purchased Vessel is not delivered prior to such date and (ii) the Actual Delivery Date.

b)If any Lender shall default in its obligations under Section 2.1, the Facility Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to assist the Borrower in finding a bank or financial institution acceptable to the Borrower to replace such Lender.

SECTION 2.3. Borrowing Procedure.

a)Part of the Loan in an amount equal to the Novated Loan Balance shall be assumed by the Borrower and be deemed to be advanced to, and borrowed by the Borrower, pursuant to the provisions of clause 3 of the Novation Agreement and thereafter converted into Dollars pursuant to clause 5.1 of the Novation Agreement.

b)In relation to the amount of the Loan comprised by the Additional Advances, the Borrower shall deliver a Loan Request and the documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1.1(a) to the Facility Agent on or before 3:00 p.m., London

time, not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Actual Delivery Date. The Additional Advances shall be drawn in Dollars.

c)The Facility Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Loan Request in respect of the Additional Advances by forwarding a copy thereof to each Lender, together with its attachments. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the portion of the Loan in respect of the Additional Advances shall be made on the Actual Delivery Date. On or before 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Actual Delivery Date, the Lenders shall, without any set-off or counterclaim, deposit with the Facility Agent same day funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the requested portion of the Additional Advances in Dollars. Such deposits will be made to such account which the Facility Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Lenders. To the extent funds are so received from the Lenders (and having regard, where applicable, to Sections 2.3d), e) and f) below), the Facility Agent shall, without any set-off or counterclaim, make such funds available to the Borrower on the Actual Delivery Date by wire transfer of same day funds to the accounts the Borrower shall have specified in its Loan Request.

d)If the Borrower elects to finance that part of the BpiFAE Premium payable by the Borrower with an Additional Advance under clause 5.2(b)(i) of the Novation Agreement, the Borrower shall indicate such election in the Loan Request. The amount of the advance in Dollars (the “US Dollar BpiFAE Advance Amount”) that will fund the BpiFAE Premium shall be equal to the Dollar amount that corresponds to the EUR amount of the BpiFAE Premium to be financed with such advance, which amount shall be determined by the Facility Agent based on the Spot Rate of Exchange. The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the US Dollar BpiFAE Advance Amount on the date such Loan Request is delivered, and the Lenders shall deposit such US Dollar BpiFAE Advance Amount with the Facility Agent in accordance with Section 2.3.c). The Facility Agent shall furnish a certificate to the Borrower on the date such Loan Request is delivered setting forth such Spot Rate of Exchange, its derivation and the calculation of the US Dollar BpiFAE Advance Amount. If the Borrower elects to so finance the BpiFAE Premium, the Borrower will be deemed to have directed the Facility Agent to pay over directly to BpiFAE on behalf of the Borrower that portion of the EUR amount of the BpiFAE Premium to be financed with the proceeds of the advance on the Actual Delivery Date and to retain for its own account deposits made by the Lenders in Dollars in an amount equal to the portion of the US Dollar BpiFAE Advance Amount attributable to the BpiFAE Premium paid by the Facility Agent to BpiFAE on behalf of the Borrower.

e)If the Borrower elects to finance that part of the BpiFAE Premium payable by the Borrower with an Additional Advance under clause 5.2(b)(ii) of the Novation Agreement, the Borrower shall indicate such election in the Loan Request (and whether it wishes to receive such amount in EUR or in Dollars). The amount of the advance in Dollars (the “US Dollar BpiFAE Balance Amount”) that will fund the BpiFAE Premium shall be equal to the Dollar amount that corresponds to the EUR amount of the BpiFAE Premium to be financed with such advance, which amount shall be determined by the Facility Agent based on the Spot Rate of Exchange. The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the US Dollar BpiFAE

Balance Amount on the date such Loan Request is delivered, and the Lenders shall deposit such US Dollar BpiFAE Balance Amount with the Facility Agent in accordance with Section 2.3.c). The Facility Agent shall furnish a certificate to the Borrower on the date such Loan Request is delivered setting forth such Spot Rate of Exchange, its derivation and the calculation of the US Dollar BpiFAE Balance Amount. If the Borrower elects to so finance the BpiFAE Premium and receive the proceeds in EUR, the Borrower will be deemed to have directed the Facility Agent to pay over to the Borrower that portion of the EUR amount of the BpiFAE Premium to be financed with the proceeds of the advance on the Actual Delivery Date and to retain for its own account deposits made by the Lenders in Dollars in an amount equal to the US Dollar BpiFAE Balance Amount.

f)In relation to any Additional Advance that is to be advanced to the Borrower in respect of the Non-Yard Costs it is agreed that:

i)an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent of eighty per cent (80%) of the Paid Non-Yard Costs shall be advanced to the Borrower on the Actual Delivery Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 c), which amount shall be determined by the Facility Agent based on the amounts contained in the Delivery Non-Yard Costs Certificate; and

ii)an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent of eighty per cent (80%) of the Unpaid Non-Yard Costs, which amount shall be determined by the Facility Agent based on the amounts contained in the Delivery Non-Yard Costs Certificate (the “Escrow Amount”), shall be remitted by the Facility Agent (and the Borrower hereby instructs the Facility Agent to make such remittance) to the Escrow Account and such amount shall be regulated in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.3 f) and the Escrow Account Security,

subject to the aggregate of the amounts referred to in i) and ii) above not exceeding the Maximum Non-Yard Costs Amount.

Where an Escrow Amount payment is made to the Escrow Account pursuant to ii) above, the Borrower shall be entitled at any time prior to the NYC Cut Off Date to provide the Facility Agent with the Final Non-Yard Cost Certificate setting out the final amount of the Paid Non-Yard Costs. Where the Final Non-Yard Costs Certificate is so received by the Facility Agent, the Facility Agent shall determine promptly the US Dollar Equivalent of the EUR amount of the Paid Non-Yard Costs and within one Business Day thereafter shall authorize the release of the Escrow Amount (or, if less, an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent of eighty per cent of the final amount of the Paid Non-Yard Costs (as determined above) less the amount previously advanced to the Borrower under i) above) to the Borrower. Any interest accruing on the Escrow Account shall be released to the Borrower at the same time as the release of the Escrow Amount (or, if applicable, part thereof) to the Borrower pursuant to this provision.

If any amount of the Escrow Amount remains on the Escrow Account on the day falling immediately after the NYC Cut Off Date (having regard to any applicable permitted release of moneys from the Escrow Account to the Borrower referred to

above) then on the Business Day thereafter the Facility Agent shall be entitled to request the withdrawal of that amount from the Escrow Account and shall apply the amount so received, on behalf of the Borrower, in or towards prepayment of the Loan.

The basis on which the Escrow Account Security is held by the Security Trustee for the benefit of the Lenders is regulated under the Escrow Agency and Trust Deed.

SECTION 2.4. Funding. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make or continue its portion of the Loan hereunder by causing a branch or Affiliate (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) other than that indicated next to its signature to this Agreement or, as the case may be, in the relevant Lender Assignment Agreement, to make or maintain such portion of the Loan; provided that such portion of the Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such portion of the Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 4.2(c), 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had the Lender not caused such branch or Affiliate (or international banking facility) to make or maintain such portion of the Loan.

c)If an affected Lender delivers an Illegality Notice, the Borrower, the Facility Agent 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 but, if they are unable to agree such steps within 20 Business Days or if the Borrower so elects, the Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable at any time within 50 days after receipt of such Illegality Notice or, if earlier, the date upon which the unlawful event referred to in (b) above will apply (but not being a date falling earlier than the end of the 20 Business Day period referred to above) (the "Option Period"), either (1) to prepay the portion of the Loan held by such Lender 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 (2) to replace such Lender on or before the expiry of the Option Period with one or more financial institutions (I) acceptable to the Facility Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (II) where relevant, eligible to benefit from an Interest Stabilisation Agreement, pursuant to assignment(s) notified to and consented in writing by BpiFAE and, where relevant Natixis DAI, provided that (x) in the case of a single assignment, any such assignment shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or, in the case of more than one assignment, an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that collectively cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement and (y) no Lender shall be obliged to make any such assignment as a result of an election by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from one or more Assignee Lenders and/or the Borrower in an aggregate amount at least equal to the portion of the Loan held by such Lender, together with all unpaid interest and fees thereon accrued to but excluding the date of such assignment (and all other amounts then owing to such Lender under this Agreement).

Each prepayment of the Loan made pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty, except as may be required by Section 4.4. No amounts prepaid by the Borrower may be re-borrowed under the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.3.1. Rates. The Loan shall accrue interest from the Actual Delivery Date to the date of repayment or prepayment of the Loan in full to the Lenders at either the Fixed Rate or, where the proviso to Section 5.1.10 applies, the Floating

Rate. Interest calculated at the Fixed Rate or the Floating Rate shall be payable in arrears on each Repayment Date. The Loan shall bear interest from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to the Loan. All interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year comprised of 360 days.

SECTION 3.3.2. [Intentionally omitted]

SECTION 3.3.3. Interest stabilisation. Each Lender who is a party hereto on the Restatement Date represents and warrants to the Borrower that it has entered into an Interest Stabilisation Agreement and any Lender not a party hereto on the Restatement Date (other than BpiFAE or CAFFIL as assignee of all or any of SFIL’s rights as Lender following the enforcement of the security granted pursuant to paragraph (iv) of Section 11.11.1 in connection with the BpiFAE Enhanced Guarantee, subject as provided in Section 11.11.1(iv)) represents and warrants to the Borrower on the date that such Lender becomes a party hereto that it has entered into an Interest Stabilisation Agreement on or prior to becoming a party hereto.

SECTION 3.3.4. Post-Maturity Rates. After the date 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, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by 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 certified by the Facility Agent to the Borrower (which certification shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) to be equal to the sum of the Floating Rate plus 1.5% per annum.

SECTION 3.3.5. Payment Dates. Interest accrued on the Loan shall be payable, without duplication, on the earliest of:

a)each Interest Payment Date;

b)each Repayment Date;

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

d)on that portion of the Loan the repayment of which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, immediately upon such acceleration.

SECTION 3.3.6. Interest Rate Determination; Replacement Reference Banks. Where Section 3.3.4 or the Floating Rate applies, the Facility Agent shall

obtain from each Reference Bank timely information for the purpose of determining the LIBO Rate in the event that no offered quotation appears on Thomson Reuters LIBOR01 Page (or any successor page) and the LIBO Rate is to be determined by reference to quotations supplied by the Reference Banks and not by reference to the Historic Screen Rate. If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall fail to furnish in a timely manner such information to the Facility Agent for any such interest rate, the Facility Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of the information furnished by the remaining Reference

Banks. If the Borrower elects to add an additional Reference Bank hereunder or 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, 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 the LIBO Rate made by reference to quotations of interest rates furnished by Reference Banks (it being understood that the Facility Agent shall not be required to disclose to any party hereto (other than the Borrower) any information regarding any Reference Bank or any rate quoted by a Reference Bank, including, without limitation, whether a Reference Bank has provided a rate or the rate provided by any individual Reference Bank).

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

SECTION 3.3.7. Unavailability of the LIBO Rate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, 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 LIBO Rate for the relevant Interest Period including, without limitation, because the LIBO Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

b)the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Facility Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO 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 section 3.3.7, are being executed and/or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the LIBO 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 LIBO 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 U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBO Successor Rate”), and also together with any proposed LIBO 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 LIBO 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 LIBO Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Facility Agent.

If no LIBO 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 Loan at the LIBO Rate (to the extent of the affected part of the Loan or Interest Periods) shall be suspended. 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 or Interest Periods).

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

For the purposes of this Agreement, “LIBO Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBO Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Floating 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 LIBO 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 LIBO 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).

SECTION 3.4. Commitment Fees. Subject to clause 10.1 of the Novation Agreement, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on its daily unused portion of Maximum Loan Amount (as such amount may be adjusted from time to time), for the period commencing on the Signing Date and continuing through the earliest to occur (the “Commitment Fee Termination Date”) of (i) the Actual Delivery Date, (ii) the date upon which the Facility Agent has provided the Borrower with written notice that the Lenders will not advance the Loan because the Commitments have been terminated pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3, (iii) the Commitment Termination Date and (iv) the date the Commitments shall have been terminated in full pursuant to clause 10.2 of the Novation Agreement.

SECTION 3.4.1. Payment. The Commitment Fee shall be payable by the Borrower to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender six-monthly in arrears, with the first such payment (the “First Commitment Fee Payment”) to be made on the day

falling six months following the Signing Date and the final such payment to be made on the Commitment Fee Termination Date (each date on which a Commitment Fee payment is required to be made in accordance with this Section 3.4.1 referred to herein as a “Commitment Fee Payment Date”). The Commitment Fee shall be in the amount in EUR equal to the product of the Applicable Commitment Rate, multiplied by, for each day elapsed since the preceding Commitment Fee Payment Date (or, in the case of the First Commitment Fee Payment, the Signing Date), 75% of the daily unused portion of Maximum Loan Amount (as such amount may be adjusted from time to time), divided by 360 days.

SECTION 3.5. Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Facility Agent the agreed-upon fees set forth in the Fee Letters on the dates and in the amounts set forth therein.

If after the Signing Date 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 such Lender asserts that it is unlawful for such Lender to make, continue or maintain its portion of the Loan where the relevant Lender has funded itself in the interbank market at a rate based on the LIBO Rate, the obligation of such Lender to make, continue or maintain its portion of the Loan shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower, the Facility Agent and each other Lender, forthwith be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, provided that such Lender’s obligation to make, continue and maintain its portion of the Loan hereunder shall be automatically converted into an obligation to make, continue and maintain its portion of the Loan bearing interest at a rate to be negotiated between such Lender and the Borrower that is the equivalent of the sum of the LIBO Rate for the relevant Interest Period plus the Floating Rate Margin.

SECTION 4.2. Deposits Unavailable. If any Lender has funded itself in the interbank market and the Facility Agent shall have determined that:

a)Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to each Reference Bank in its relevant market, or

b)by reason of circumstances affecting the Reference Banks’ relevant markets, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate loans for the relevant Interest Period, or

c)the cost to Lenders that in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan then held by Lenders of obtaining matching deposits in the relevant interbank market for the relevant Interest Period would be in excess of the LIBO Rate, (provided, that no Lender may exercise its rights under this Section 4.2.c) for amounts up to the difference between such Lender’s cost of obtaining matching deposits on the date such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder less the LIBO Rate on such date),

then the Facility Agent shall give notice of such determination (hereinafter called a “Determination Notice”) to the Borrower and each of the Lenders. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Facility Agent shall then negotiate in good faith in order to agree 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. If the Borrower, the Lenders and the Facility Agent are unable to agree upon an interest rate (or rates) and interest period (or interest periods) prior to the date occurring fifteen (15) Business Days after the giving of such Determination Notice, the Facility Agent shall (after consultation with the Lenders) set an interest rate and an interest period (or interest periods), in each case to take effect at the end of the Interest Period current at the date of the Determination Notice, which rate (or rates) shall be equal to the sum of the Floating Rate Margin and the weighted average of the corresponding interest rates at or about 11:00 a.m. (London time) two (2) Business Days before the commencement of the relevant Interest Period on Thomson Reuters’ pages KLIEMMM, GARBIC01 and FINA01 (or such other pages as may replace Thomson Reuters’ pages KLIEMMM, GARBIC01 or FINA01 on Thomson Reuters’ service) (or, in the case of clause (c) above, the lesser of (x) the respective cost to the Lenders of funding the respective portions of the Loan held by the Lenders and (y) such weighted average). The Facility Agent shall furnish a certificate to the Borrower as soon as reasonably practicable after the Facility Agent has given such Determination Notice setting forth such rate(s). In the event that the circumstances described in this Section 4.2 shall extend beyond the end of an interest period agreed or set pursuant hereto, the foregoing procedure shall be repeated as often as may be necessary.

SECTION 4.3. Increased LIBO Rate Loan Costs, etc. If after the Signing Date a change in any applicable treaty, law, regulation or regulatory requirement or in the interpretation thereof or in its application to the Borrower, or if compliance by any Lender with any applicable direction, request, requirement or guideline (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or other authority including, without limitation, 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:

a)subject any Lender to any taxes, levies, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings of any nature with respect to its portion of the Loan or any part thereof 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 Section 4.6, withholding taxes); or

b)change the basis of taxation to any Lender (other than a change in taxation on the overall net income of any Lender) of payments of principal or interest or any other payment due or to become due pursuant to this Agreement; or

c)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve or capital adequacy requirements (other than the increased capital costs described in Section 4.5 and the reserve costs described in Section 4.7) or other banking or monetary controls or requirements which affect the manner in which a Lender shall allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder 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, any Lender (provided that such Lender shall, unless

prohibited by law, allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder in a manner which is consistent with its present treatment of the allocation of its capital resources); or

d)impose on any Lender any other condition affecting its portion of the Loan or any part thereof,

and the result of any of the foregoing is either (i) to increase the cost to such Lender of making its portion of the Loan or maintaining its portion of the Loan or any part thereof, (ii) to reduce the amount of any payment received by such Lender or its effective return hereunder or on its capital or (iii) to cause such Lender to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, then and in any such case if such increase or reduction in the opinion of such Lender materially affects the interests of such Lender, (A) such Lender shall (through the Facility Agent) notify the Borrower of the occurrence of such event and use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of 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 the making of such a designation would avoid the effects of such law, regulation or regulatory requirement or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and (B) the Borrower shall forthwith upon such demand pay to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender such amount as is necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction and ancillary expenses, including taxes, incurred as a result of such adjustment. Such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the event leading to such additional cost, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the amount of such additional cost, (iii) describe the manner in which such amount has been calculated, (iv) certify that the method used to calculate such amount is such Lender’s standard method of calculating such amount, (v) certify that such request is consistent with its treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions, and (vi) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such change in circumstance is of general application to the commercial banking industry in such Lender’s jurisdiction of organization or in the relevant jurisdiction in which such Lender does business. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that in relation to increased costs or reductions arising after the Effective Date the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but not more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such cost or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

It is acknowledged that the Borrower shall have no liability to compensate any Lender under this Section for amounts of increased costs that accrue before the Effective Time on the Actual Delivery Date (with any such amounts arising before the Effective Time being the responsibility of the Original Borrower).

SECTION 4.4. Funding Losses.

SECTION 4.4.1. Indemnity. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (for the avoidance of doubt excluding loss of profit) by reason of the liquidation or re-employment (at not less than the market rate) of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender, to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of its portion of the Loan as a result of:

i)any repayment or prepayment or acceleration of the principal amount of such Lender’s portion of the Loan, other than any repayment made on the date scheduled for such repayment or (if the Floating Rate applies) any repayment or prepayment or acceleration on a date other than the scheduled last day of an Interest Period or otherwise scheduled date for repayment or payment; or

ii)the relevant portion of the Loan not being made in accordance with the Loan Request therefor due to the fault of the Borrower or as a result of any of the conditions precedent set forth in clause 6.1(c) of the Novation Agreement and Article V not being satisfied,

(a “Funding Losses Event”) then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Facility Agent), the Borrower shall, within three (3) days of its receipt thereof:

a)if at that time interest is calculated at the Floating Rate on such Lender’s portion of the Loan, pay directly to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender an amount equal to the amount by which:

(i)interest calculated at the Floating Rate (excluding the Floating Rate Margin) which such Lender would have received on its share of the amount of the Loan subject to such Funding Losses Event for the period from the date of receipt of any part of its share in the Loan to the last day of the applicable Interest Period,

exceeds:

(ii)the amount which such Lender would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to the amount received by it on deposit with a leading bank in the appropriate interbank market for a period starting on the Business Day following receipt and ending on the last day of the applicable Interest Period; or

b)if at that time interest is calculated at the Fixed Rate on such Lender’s portion of the Loan, pay to the Facility Agent the amount notified to it following the calculation referred to in the next paragraph.

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.

Such written notice shall include calculations in reasonable detail setting forth the loss or expense to such Lender.

SECTION 4.4.2. Exclusion In the event that a Lender’s wilful misconduct or gross negligence has caused the loss or cancellation of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy, the Borrower shall not be liable to indemnify that Lender under Section 4.4.1 for its loss or expense arising due to the occurrence of the Prepayment Event referred to in Section 9.1.9.

SECTION 4.5. Increased Capital Costs. If after the Signing Date 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 any Person controlling such Lender, and the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Commitment or its portion of the Loan made by such Lender is reduced to a level below that which such Lender 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 such Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. Any such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the capital adequacy requirements which have been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the amount of such lowered return, (iii) describe the manner in which such amount has been calculated, (iv) certify that the method used to calculate such amount is such Lender’s standard method of calculating such amount, (v) certify that such request for such additional amounts is consistent with its treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions and (vi) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such change in circumstances is of general application to the commercial banking industry in the jurisdictions in which such Lender does business. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall, subject to the foregoing sentence, deem applicable. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and

the terms of 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 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. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that in relation to increased costs or reductions arising after the Effective Date the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but not more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

It is acknowledged that the Borrower shall have no liability to compensate any Lender under this Section for reduced returns that accrue before the Effective Time on the Actual Delivery Date (with any compensation liability to the Lenders arising before the Effective Time being the responsibility of the Original Borrower).

SECTION 4.6. Taxes. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s net income or receipts of such Lender and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes or taxes on receipts, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof or the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or any other jurisdiction unless such net income taxes are imposed solely as a result of the Borrower’s activities in such other jurisdiction, and any taxes imposed under FATCA (such non-excluded items being called “Covered Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Covered Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will:

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

b)promptly forward to the Facility Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Facility Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

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

Moreover, if any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against the Facility Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received or paid by the Facility Agent or such Lender

hereunder, the Facility Agent or such Lender may pay such Covered Taxes and the Borrower will promptly 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 Covered Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted.

Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with Natixis DAI relating to the CIRR) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

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 the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental withholding Covered Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender 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 to provide timely notice to the Borrower of the assertion of a liability related to the payment of Covered Taxes). For purposes of this Section 4.6, 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.

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 Section 4.6 or by reason of any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.3, such Lender shall 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.

Each Lender (and each Participant) agrees with the Borrower and the Facility Agent that it will (i) in the case of a Lender or a Participant organized 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 or such Participant are effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States (or 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 Assignee Lender or Participant, on or prior to the date of the relevant assignment or participation), 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 this paragraph are no longer accurate and true in all material

respects and (c) without prejudice to its obligations under Section 4.13, 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 Party (or Participant) hereunder 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 Party or such Participant, provided that the Lender Party or Participant is legally able to deliver such forms, certificates or other documents. For any period with respect to which a Lender (or Assignee Lender or Participant) has failed to provide the Borrower with the foregoing forms (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 Assignee 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 Assignee Lender or Participant) shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Section 4.6 with respect to Covered Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

All fees and expenses payable pursuant to Section 11.3 shall be paid together with value added tax or any similar tax (if any) properly chargeable thereon. Any value added tax chargeable in respect of any services supplied by a Lender or an Agent under this Agreement shall, on delivery of the value added tax invoice, be paid in addition to any sum agreed to be paid hereunder.

SECTION 4.7. Reserve Costs. Without in any way limiting the Borrower’s obligations under Section 4.3, the Borrower shall, with effect from the Effective Time, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of each Lender on the last day of each Interest Period, 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 Loan for each day during such Interest Period:

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

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

(iii)1/360.

Such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the reserve requirement that has been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the applicable reserve percentage, (iii) certify that such request is consistent with such Lender’s treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions and (iv) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such requirements are of general application in the commercial banking industry in the United States.

Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and (if the Fixed Rate applies) the arrangements with Natixis DAI relating to the CIRR) to avoid the requirement of maintaining such reserves (including by designating a different Lending Office) if such efforts would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 4.8. Payments, Computations, etc.

a)Unless otherwise expressly provided, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document 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, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System (or such other funds as may be customary for the settlement of international banking transactions in Dollars), 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)Each Lender hereby instructs the Facility Agent, with respect to any portion of the Loan held by such Lender, to pay directly to such Lender interest thereon at the Fixed Rate or (if the proviso to Section 5.1.10 applies) the Floating Rate, on the basis that (if the Fixed Rate applies) such Lender will, where amounts are payable to Natixis by that Lender under the Interest Stabilisation Agreement, account directly to Natixis for any such amounts payable by that Lender under the Interest Stabilisation Agreement to which such Lender is a party.

c)The Facility Agent shall promptly (but in any event on the same Business Day that the same are received or, as contemplated in clause (a) of this Section, deemed received) remit in same day funds to each Lender 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. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

SECTION 4.9. Replacement Lenders, etc. If the Borrower shall be required to make any payment to any Lender pursuant to Section 4.2(c), 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 or 4.7, the Borrower shall be entitled at any time (so long as no Default and no Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing) within 180 days after receipt of notice from such Lender of such required payment to (a) terminate such Lender’s Commitment (where upon the Percentage of each other Lender shall automatically be adjusted to an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of the remaining Commitments), (b) prepay the affected portion of such Lender’s Loan in full, together with accrued interest thereon through the date

of such prepayment (provided that the Borrower shall not terminate any Lender’s Commitment pursuant to clause (a) or prepay any such Lender pursuant to this clause (b) without replacing such Lender pursuant to the following clause (c) until a 30-day period shall have elapsed during which the Borrower and the Facility Agent shall have attempted in good faith to replace such Lender), and/or (c) replace such Lender with another financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent and (if the Fixed Rate applies) Natixis DAI, provided that (i) each such transfer shall be either a transfer of all of the rights and obligations of the transferring Lender under this Agreement or a transfer of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such transfer or other such transfers that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the transferring Lender under this Agreement and (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such transfer as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more Assignee Lenders in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement. Each Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower that, as of the Signing Date (or, with respect to any Lender not a party hereto on the Signing Date, on the date that such Lender becomes a party hereto), there is no existing treaty, law, regulation, regulatory requirement, interpretation, directive, guideline, decision or request pursuant to which such Lender would be entitled to request any payments under any of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 to or for account of such Lender.

SECTION 4.10. Sharing of Payments.

SECTION 4.10.1. Payments to Lenders. If a Lender (a "Recovering Lender") receives or recovers any amount from the Borrower other than in accordance with Section 4.8 (Payments, Computations, etc.) (a "Recovered Amount") and applies that amount to a payment due under the Loan Documents then:

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

b)the Facility Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Lender would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Facility Agent and distributed in accordance with the said Section 4.8, without taking account of any taxes which would be imposed on the Facility Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

c)the Recovering Lender 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 Lender as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with any applicable provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.10.2. Redistribution of payments. 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 Lender) (the "Sharing Lenders") in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement towards the obligations of the Borrower to the Sharing Lenders.

SECTION 4.10.3. Recovering Lender's rights. On a distribution by the Facility Agent under Section 4.10.2 of a payment received by a Recovering Lender from the Borrower, as between the Borrower and the Recovering Lender, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by the Borrower.

SECTION 4.10.4. Reversal of redistribution If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Lender becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Lender, then:

a)each Sharing Lender shall, upon request of the Facility Agent, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of that Recovering Lender 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 Lender for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Lender is required to pay) (the "Redistributed Amount"); and

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

SECTION 4.10.5. Exceptions.

a)This Section 4.10 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Lender would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Section 4.10, have a valid and enforceable claim against the Borrower.

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

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

(ii)the other Lender had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

SECTION 4.11. Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Prepayment Event, each Lender 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 moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Lender; provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.10. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Facility Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this

Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 4.12. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of the Loan made available to the Borrower in respect of the Additional Advances for the purpose of making payments of, or reimbursing the Borrower for payments already made for, the amounts referred to in clauses 5.2, 5.3 and/or 5.4 of the Novation Agreement and, without limiting the foregoing, 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.

SECTION 4.13. FATCA Information.

a)Subject to paragraph c) below, each party (other than the Borrower) shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another party (other than the Borrower):

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

(A)a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(B)not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(ii)supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party's compliance with FATCA;

(iii)supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party's compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

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

c)Paragraph a) above shall not oblige any Lender or the Facility Agent to do anything, and paragraph a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(i)any law or regulation;

(ii)any fiduciary duty; or

(iii)any duty of confidentiality.

d)If a party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph

THE FACILITY AGENT AND THE ECA AGENT

SECTION 10.1. Actions. Each Lender hereby appoints Citibank Europe plc, UK Branch, as Facility Agent and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation Europe Limited, Paris Branch as ECA Agent, as its agent under and for purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document (for purposes of this Article X, the Facility Agent and the ECA Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”). Each Lender authorizes the Agents to act on behalf of such Lender under this Agreement and each other Loan Document and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by the Agents (with respect to which each Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.1 or 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 Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto. Neither Agent shall be obliged to act on the instructions of any Lender or the Required Lenders if to do so would, in the opinion of such Agent, be contrary to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the BpiFAE Insurance Policy or to any law or the conflicting instructions of any French Authority, or would expose such Agent to any actual or potential liability to any third party. As between the Lenders and the Agents, it is acknowledged that

each Agent’s duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely mechanical and administrative in nature.

SECTION 10.2. Indemnity. Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) each Agent, pro rata according to such Lender’s Percentage, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that be incurred by or asserted or awarded against, such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement and any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan 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 such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by such 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 such 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 Section applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Agent, any Lender or a third party. Neither Agent shall be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan 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 an Agent shall be or become, in such Agent’s determination, inadequate, such Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

SECTION 10.3. Funding Reliance, etc. Each Lender shall notify the Facility Agent by 4:00 p.m., London time, one 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 4:00 p.m., London 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 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.

SECTION 10.4. Exculpation. Neither of the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent (i) may consult with legal

counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) 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 or Prepayment Event or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (v) 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 telecopier) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties, and (vi) shall have no responsibility to the Borrower or any Lender on account of (A) the failure of a Lender or the Borrower to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document; (B) the financial condition of the Borrower; (C) the completeness or accuracy of any statements, representations or warranties made in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document, or in or pursuant to any document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document; or (D) the negotiation, execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, admissibility in evidence or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Loan Document or of any document executed or delivered pursuant to or in connection with any Loan Document.

SECTION 10.5. Successor. The Facility Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Borrower and all Lenders and shall resign where required to do in accordance with Section 4.14, provided that any such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Facility Agent has been appointed as provided in this Section 10.5 and such successor Facility Agent has accepted such appointment. If the Facility Agent at any time shall resign, the Required Lenders shall, subject to the immediately preceding proviso and subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint another Lender as a successor to the Facility Agent which shall thereupon become such Facility Agent’s successor hereunder (provided that the Required Lenders shall, subject to the consent of the Borrower unless an Event or Default or a Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) offer to each of the other Lenders in turn, in the order of their respective Percentages of the Loan, the right to become successor Facility Agent). If no successor Facility Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the Facility Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the Facility Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Facility Agent, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies), subject, in each case, to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Facility Agent hereunder by a successor Facility Agent, such successor Facility Agent shall be entitled to receive from the resigning Facility Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Facility Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Facility Agent, and the resigning Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this

Agreement. After any resigning Facility Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Facility Agent, the provisions of:

a)this Article X 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

b)Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

If a Lender acting as the Facility Agent assigns its Loan to one of its Affiliates, such Facility Agent may, subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) assign its rights and obligations as Facility Agent to such Affiliate.

SECTION 10.6. Loans by the Facility Agent. The Facility Agent shall have the same rights and powers with respect to the Loan made by it or any of its Affiliates. 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 Lenders. The Facility Agent shall have no duty to 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.

SECTION 10.7. Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of each Agent and each other Lender, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial information of the Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (the terms and provisions of which being satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitment. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of each Agent and each other Lender, 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 Loan Document.

SECTION 10.8. Copies, etc. Each Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to such Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Borrower). Each Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by such Agent from the Borrower for distribution to the Lenders by such Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.9. The Agents’ Rights. Each Agent may (i) assume that all representations or warranties made or deemed repeated by the Borrower in or pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document are true and complete, unless, in its capacity as the Facility Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary, (ii) assume that no Default has occurred unless, in its capacity as an Agent, it has acquired actual knowledge to the contrary, (iii) rely on any document or notice believed by it to be genuine, (iv) rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it, (v) rely as to any factual matters which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of the Borrower on a certificate

signed by or on behalf of the Borrower and (vi) 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 its exercise by the Lenders (or, where applicable, by the Required Lenders) and unless and until such Agent has received from the Lenders any payment which such Agent may require on account of, or any security which such Agent may require for, any costs, claims, expenses (including legal and other professional fees) and liabilities which it considers it may incur or sustain in complying with those instructions.

SECTION 10.10. The Facility Agent’s Duties. 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 Loan Document by the Borrower or as to the existence of an Event of Default and (ii) inform the Lenders promptly of any Event of Default of which the Facility Agent has actual knowledge.

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.

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.

SECTION 10.11. Employment of Agents. In performing its duties and exercising its rights, powers, discretions and remedies under or pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents, each Agent shall be entitled to employ and pay agents to do anything which such Agent is empowered to do under or pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents (including the receipt of money and documents and the payment of money); provided that, unless otherwise provided herein, including without limitation Section 11.3, the employment of such agents shall be for such Agent’s account, and 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 such Agent in good faith to be competent to give such opinion, advice or information.

SECTION 10.12. Distribution of Payments. The Facility Agent shall pay promptly to the order of each Lender that Lender’s Percentage share of every sum of money received by the Facility Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.4.1 but not including any amounts payable pursuant to the Fee Letter and any amounts which, by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, are paid to the Facility Agent for the account of the Facility Agent alone 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 that Lender.

SECTION 10.13. Reimbursement. The Facility Agent shall have no liability to pay any sum to a Lender until it has itself received payment of that sum. If,

however, the Facility Agent does pay any sum to a Lender on account of any amount prospectively due to that Lender pursuant to Section 10.12 before it has itself received payment of that amount, and the Facility Agent does not in fact receive payment within two (2) Business Days after the date on which that payment was required to be made by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, that Lender will, on demand by the Facility Agent, refund to the Facility Agent an amount equal to the amount received by it, 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 Loan Documents and ending on the date on which the Facility Agent receives reimbursement.

SECTION 10.14. Instructions. Where an Agent is authorized 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 such Agent with instructions within three (3) Business Days of such Agent’s request (which request may be made orally or in writing). If a Lender does not provide such Agent with instructions within that period, that Lender shall be bound by the decision of such Agent. Nothing in this Section 10.14 shall limit the right of such Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action without obtaining the instructions of the Lenders or the Required Lenders if such 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 or the Loan Documents. In that event, such 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 Section 10.14.

SECTION 10.15. Payments. All amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 10 shall be paid to such account at such bank as that Lender may from time to time direct in writing to the Facility Agent.

SECTION 10.16. “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 it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations pursuant to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.17. No Fiduciary Relationship. Except as provided in Section 10.12, no Agent shall 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 Loan Document shall constitute a partnership between any two or more Lenders or between either Agent and any other person.

SECTION 10.18. Illegality. The Agent shall refrain from doing anything which it reasonably believes would be contrary to any law of any jurisdiction (including but not limited to England and Wales, the United States of America or any jurisdiction forming part of it) or any regulation or directive of any agency of such state or jurisdiction or which would or might render it liable to any person and may without liability

do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation.

SECTION 11.4. Indemnification. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Lender and the extension of the Commitments, the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Facility Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, advisors, directors and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages,

losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), except 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 willful misconduct or the material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the BpiFAE Insurance Policy or Interest Stabilisation Agreement and which breach is not attributable to the Borrower’s own breach of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or is a claim, damage, loss, liability or expense which would have been compensated under other provisions of the Loan Documents but for any exclusions applicable thereunder.

In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective 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. Each Indemnified Party shall (a) furnish the Borrower with prompt notice of any action, suit or other claim covered by this Section 11.4, (b) not agree to any settlement or compromise of any such action, suit or claim without the Borrower’s prior consent, (c) shall cooperate fully in the Borrower’s defense of any such action, suit or other claim (provided that the Borrower shall reimburse such indemnified party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred pursuant hereto) and (d) at the Borrower’s request, permit the Borrower to assume control of the defense of any such claim, other than regulatory, supervisory or similar investigations, provided that (i) the Borrower acknowledges in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms herein in connection with such claims, (ii) the Borrower shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed with respect to the conduct of the defense of such claim, (iii) the Borrower shall consult in good faith with the Indemnified Party (from time to time and before taking any material decision) about the conduct of the defense of such claim, (iv) the Borrower shall conduct the defense of such claim properly and diligently taking into account its own interests and those of the Indemnified Party, (v) the Borrower shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at the Borrower’s expense, and (vi) the Borrower shall not enter into a settlement with respect to such claim unless either (A) 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 the Indemnified Party, and contains a provision unconditionally releasing the Indemnified Party and each other indemnified party from, and holding all such persons harmless, against, all liability in respect of claims by any releasing party or (B) the Indemnified Party provides written consent to such settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the Borrower’s election to assume the defense of such action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action 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 the 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 the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses 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 defenses (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on the Indemnified Party’s behalf), (iii) the Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, or (iv) the Borrower authorizes the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’s expense. The Borrower acknowledges that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non- appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

SECTION 11.5. Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 11.3 and 11.4 and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 10.1, 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 and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document.

SECTION 11.6. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan 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 this Agreement or such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

provisions of paragraph (iv) of Section 11.11.1, in connection with the BpiFAE Enhanced Guarantee.

Each Person described in the foregoing clauses as being the Person to whom such assignment or transfer is to be made, is hereinafter referred to as an “Assignee Lender”. Assignments in a minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000 (or, if less, all of such Lender’s portion of the Loan and Commitment) (which assignment or transfer shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of such Lender’s portion of the Loan) are permitted; provided that the Borrower and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned or transferred to an Assignee Lender until:

Such assignor Lender or such Assignee Lender must also pay a processing fee to the Facility Agent upon delivery of any Lender Assignment Agreement in the amount of $5,000 (and shall also reimburse the Facility Agent and Natixis for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the assignment).

SECTION 11.11.2. Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions (each of such commercial banks and other financial institutions being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in its Loan; provided that:

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

c)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 Loan Documents;

e)the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 4.2(c), 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold; and

f)each Lender that sells a participation under this Section 11.11.2 shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each of the Participant’s interest in that Lender’s portion of the Loan, Commitments or other interests hereunder (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes hereunder.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for purposes of Sections 4.2(c), 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and clause (e) of 7.1.1, shall be considered a Lender.

SECTION 11.11.3. Register. The Facility Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.2 a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment(s) of, and principal amount of the Loan owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

SECTION 11.11.4. Rights of BpiFAE to payments. The Borrower acknowledges that, immediately upon any payment by BpiFAE (i) of any amounts to a Lender under the BpiFAE Insurance Policy, BpiFAE will be automatically subrogated to the extent of such payment to the rights of that Lender under the Loan Documents or (ii) of any amount under the BpiFAE Enhanced Guarantee and the enforcement of any related security granted by SFIL to any of its Affiliates, which may benefit BpiFAE after payment by BpiFAE under the BpiFAE Enhanced Guarantee, BpiFAE will be automatically entitled to receive the payments normally due to SFIL under the Loan Documents( but, for the avoidance of doubt, such payments shall continue to be made by the Borrower to the Facility

Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.8 or any other relevant provisions of this Agreement, as applicable).

SECTION 11.12. Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Facility Agent or any Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan 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.

SECTION 11.13. BpiFAE Insurance Policy.

SECTION 11.13.1. Terms of BpiFAE Insurance Policy

a)The BpiFAE Insurance Policy will cover 100% of the Loan.

b)The BpiFAE Premium will equal 3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loan as at the Actual Delivery Date.

c)If, after the Actual Delivery Date, the Borrower prepays all or part of the Loan in accordance with this Agreement, BpiFAE shall reimburse to the ECA Agent for the account of the Borrower an amount equal to 80% of all or a corresponding proportion of the unexpired portion of the BpiFAE Premium, having regard to the amount of the prepayment and the remaining term of the Loan, such amount to be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

R = P x (1 – (1 / (1+3%)) 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 Final Maturity; and

P x (1 – (1 / (1+3%)) corresponds to the share of the financed BpiFAE Premium corresponding to P.

SECTION 11.13.2. Obligations of the Borrower. Provided that the BpiFAE Insurance Policy complies with Section 11.13.1 and remains in full force and effect, the Borrower shall pay the balance of the BpiFAE Premium calculated in accordance with Section 11.3.1(b) and still owing to BpiFAE on the Actual Delivery Date to BpiFAE on the Actual Delivery Date by directing the Agent in the Loan Request to pay the Additional Advance in respect of the BpiFAE Premium directly to BpiFAE.

SECTION 11.13.3. Obligations of the ECA Agent and the Lenders.

a)Promptly upon receipt of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy from BpiFAE, the ECA Agent shall (subject to any confidentiality undertakings given to BpiFAE by the

ECA Agent pursuant to the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy) send a copy thereof to the Borrower.

b)The ECA Agent shall perform such acts or provide such information, which are, acting reasonably, within its power so to perform or so to provide, as required by BpiFAE under the BpiFAE Insurance Policy as necessary to ensure that the Lenders obtain the support of BpiFAE pursuant to the BpiFAE Insurance Policy.

c)Each Lender will co-operate with the ECA Agent, the Facility Agent and each other Lender, and take such action and/or refrain from taking such action as may be reasonably necessary, to ensure that the BpiFAE Insurance Policy and each Interest Stabilisation Agreement continues in full force and effect and shall indemnify and hold harmless each other Lender in the event that the BpiFAE Insurance Policy or such Interest Stabilisation Agreement (as the case may be) does not continue in full force and effect due to its gross negligence or willful default or due to a voluntary change in status which results in it no longer being eligible for CIRR interest stabilisation.

d)The ECA Agent shall, in conjunction with the Facility Agent:

(i)make written requests to BpiFAE seeking a reimbursement of the BpiFAE Premium in the circumstances described in Section 11.13.1(c) promptly after the relevant cancellation or prepayment and (subject to any confidentiality undertakings given to BpiFAE by the ECA Agent pursuant to the terms of the BpiFAE Insurance Policy) provide a copy of the request to the Borrower;

(ii)use its reasonable endeavours to seek any reimbursement of the BpiFAE Premium to which the ECA Agent is entitled;

(iii)pay to the Borrower (in the same currency as the refund received from BpiFAE) the full amount of any reimbursement of the BpiFAE Premium that the ECA Agent receives from BpiFAE within two (2) Business Days of receipt with same day value; and

(iv)relay the good faith concerns of the Borrower to BpiFAE regarding the amount of any reimbursement to which the ECA Agent is entitled, it being agreed that the ECA Agent’s obligation shall be no greater than simply to pass on to BpiFAE the Borrower’s concerns.

Non-recognition of trust and amendments

g.It is agreed between all parties to this Agreement that:

i.in relation to any jurisdiction the courts of which would not recognise or give effect to the trusts expressed to be constituted by this Agreement the relationship of the Finance Parties to the Security Trustee shall be construed simply as one of principal and agent but, to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of each and every such jurisdiction, this Agreement shall have full force and effect as between the parties; and

ii.any of the provisions of this clause 3 or of clauses 2 or 4 may be amended by agreement between the Security Trustee and the other Finance Parties without the consent of the Borrower and each such party other than the Security Trustee irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent in its name and on its behalf to execute all documents necessary to effect any such amendment.

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

iii.for the purpose of obtaining a judgement in any jurisdiction or the enforcement in any jurisdiction against any person of a judgement already obtained,

any person so appointed shall (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) have such rights (including as to reasonable remuneration), powers, duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Security Trustee shall have power to remove any person so appointed and shall notify the other Finance Parties of such removal. At the request of the Security Trustee, the other parties to this Agreement shall forthwith execute all such documents and do all such things as may be required to perfect such appointment or removal and each such party irrevocably authorises the Security Trustee in its name and on its behalf to do the same. Each and any such person shall (subject always to the provisions of this Agreement) have such trusts, powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Security Trustee by this Agreement and the Loan Documents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Security Trustee shall not be bound to supervise or, only as between the Security Trustee on one hand and the Lenders on the other hand, be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such person if the Security Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such person (which, without limitation, shall conclusively be deemed to be the case in respect of any such person approved in writing by the Required Lenders).

BD-#33675344-v5

iv.fourthly, the balance (if any) shall be paid to the Borrower.

Prompt distribution of proceeds

c.The Facility Agent shall make each application and/or distribution falling to be made in accordance with clause 4.2 as soon as is practicable after the relevant moneys are received by, or otherwise become available to, the Facility Agent save that (without prejudice to any other provision contained in any of the Loan Documents) each Agent or any Receiver may (subject to clause 4.4 below) credit any moneys received by it to an interest bearing suspense account for so long and in such manner as such Agent or such Receiver may from time to time reasonably determine with a view to preserving the rights of the Finance Parties or any of them to prove for the whole of their respective claims against the Borrower or any other person liable, provided always that any Lender may instruct the Agent or the Receiver to release to it its share of any such amounts (subject always to clause 4.2).

d.If at any time the aggregate amount of the funds standing to the suspense account referred to in clause 4.3 above, together with any other moneys then held by any of the Finance Parties and which are available to be applied in respect of the Secured Obligations, are in an amount sufficient to discharge the Secured Obligations in full, the relevant Agent or any Receiver (as applicable) shall promptly withdraw the funds from such suspense account and apply them in accordance with clause 4.2 above.

e.The Security Trustee shall not be under any duty to consider investing moneys elsewhere and the Security Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate or exchange rate fluctuations and shall not be liable to account for an amount of interest greater than the standard amount that would be payable to an independent customer.

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

Waiver by Borrower

g.To the extent permitted by law and without prejudice to any duty the Agents and the other Finance Parties may have to mitigate any losses, the Borrower hereby unconditionally waives any rights it may have, whether at law or otherwise, to require demands to be made by any of the Finance Parties under any of the Loan Documents or for the security or any guarantee or other assurance created by the Loan Documents in favour of the Finance Parties (or any of them) to be enforced or realised in any specific order or manner or to require the proceeds thereof to be appropriated in any specific order or manner.
