At the Borrower’s option and subject to the approval of the Lenders, the Borrower may also request other Lenders to fix the interest rate on their respective 100% pro rata share of the Loan. As soon as practical thereafter, The Bank of Nova Scotia and, where applicable other Lenders, shall convert the interest rate on their pro rata share of the Loan to the Fixed Interest Rate and shall

notify the Borrower as to the date the fixed rate is established (the “Fixed Interest Rate Notice Date”).

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on all Advances on each successive Payment Date from their respective Drawdown Dates until, but not including, the first Payment Date following the Fixed Interest Rate Notice Date, at the applicable Floating Interest Rate.

(c) Commencing the first Payment Date following the Fixed Interest Rate Notice Date and continuing until the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding Loan balance for the next Interest Period at the Floating Interest Rate or Fixed Interest Rate applicable to each Lender.

(d) All calculations in respect of interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days outstanding.

3.2 Fixed Interest Rate Make Whole Provision. Upon (i) the prepayment of all or part of the Loan after the Fixed Interest Rate Notice Date by the Borrower under Section 2.6 and/or 2.7, or (ii) the Lender accelerating the Loan after the Fixed Interest Rate Notice Date, as set out in Section 9.2 hereof, the Borrower shall, in addition to any other amount then payable by the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, in respect of the amount to be prepaid (the “Prepayment Amount”), pay to the Lender, in Dollars, an amount (such amount, the “Make-Whole Amount”) equal to the one-time payment, if any, that the Lender would be required to pay, if the Lender were to enter into a notional fixed-to-floating interest rate swap (the “Swap”) with an acceptable investment grade financial institution counterpart, having the terms set out below.

The Make-Whole Amount shall be determined by the Lender in good faith pursuant to the methodology below as of the date on which the Prepayment Amount is to be paid (the “Prepayment Date”), as if the Lender were the floating rate payor under such Swap, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower for all purposes in the absence of demonstrable error; provided, that, upon the request of the Borrower, the Lender shall describe in writing to the Borrower, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such direct cost. The Swap shall have the following terms:

(a) Both the fixed and floating rate payor dates shall be the same as the scheduled Payment Date of the applicable principal Loan Amount featuring a fixed interest rate (the number of days commencing, and including, on one such Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Payment Date being the “Swap Interest Period”), provided, that the initial Swap Interest Period shall commence on and include the Prepayment Date and the final Swap Interest Period shall end on but exclude the Maturity Date;

(b) The fixed rate shall be the Fixed Rate Base;

(c) The notional amount of the Swap shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be equal to the Prepayment Amount, amortized (if applicable) to reflect the application of the Prepayment Amount in the repayment schedule of the Loan featuring a Fixed Interest Rate;

(d) The day count fraction shall be the actual number of days in the Swap Interest Period divided by 360;

(e) The term of the Swap shall be equal to the period commencing on, and including, the Prepayment Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date; and

(f) The floating interest rate is the floating rate of interest that would be paid by the floating rate payor in respect of a swap having the terms and conditions set out above which appears on Reuters page 19901 (SEMIBOND-column 5) as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the day that is two (2) London Business Days preceding each Swap Interest Period (interpolated, for valuation purposes, in respect of the first calculation period of the Swap, to reflect the number of remaining days in the current Swap Interest Period).

3.3 Default Interest. In the event any amount of principal hereof or accrued interest on a Promissory Note is not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders on demand interest on such unpaid amount (to the extent permitted by applicable law) for the period from the date such amount was due until such amount shall have been paid in full at an interest rate per annum equal to 30-day LIBOR plus the Margin, plus an additional two per cent (2.00%) (the “Default Margin”) per annum.

3.4 Lender’s Option to Convert Loan to a 100% LIBOR-based interest rate following an Event of Default. If the Administrative Agent, on behalf of all Lenders, provides the Borrower with a notice pursuant to Section 9.1 (Events of Default), the Lenders may, at their sole discretion, elect not to accelerate the Loan and instead declare that the Loan shall be converted to a loan payable on demand by the Lenders and the loans pursuant to a Fixed Interest Rate shall be converted to an interest rate equal to one month LIBOR plus the Default Margin. For avoidance of doubt, in such circumstances the provisions of Section 3.2 shall continue to apply and the applicable Lender shall determine if a Make-Whole Amount is payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender. The Make-Whole Amount shall be calculated as if the Loan Amount were being prepaid in full on such conversion date.

3.5 Market Disruption and Alternative Interest Rates.

(a) If on or before the day that is three (3) Business Days prior to the start of an Interest Period, a Lender determines (i) Dollar deposits in the amount of the Advance for a matching Interest Period are generally not available in the London interbank market or (ii) the cost to the Lender of obtaining matching Dollar deposits in the London interbank market in respect of any Loan principal balance would be in excess of LIBOR or (iii) adequate reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then the Lender shall notify the Borrower through the Administrative Agent in writing and on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period and will fund the Loan principal balance at the Alternative Rate.

(b) Upon the Lender determining that the condition in Section 3.5 (a) has ceased, the Lender shall forthwith notify the Borrower through the Administrative Agent in writing, whereupon on the next Payment Date the Advance subject to the Alternative Rate shall be funded on the basis of one (1) month LIBOR.

Upon receipt of such written notice, the Borrower and the Lender shall negotiate in good faith for a period up to, but not exceeding thirty (30) days, with a view to the Lender making available the Advances in a manner free of such sanctions. If upon the expiration of such a period, the Lender remains unable to continue the Advances on the agreed upon revised terms, the Lender may, by written notice, to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, declare its obligations to be terminated on a date specified in the notice whereupon the Lender’s commitments shall cease and the Borrower shall forthwith (or as specified by the Lender) prepay all Advances with accrued interest and all other reasonable amounts payable to the Lender under this Agreement and the transactions it contemplates (such reasonable amounts with any reasonable costs incurred by Lender for the termination of the funding arrangements, (e.g. “break-funding” costs related to the Lender’s cancellation or prepayment of existing funding arrangements)), any reasonable documented, and out-of-pocket legal or business costs incurred by the Lender in order to investigate, assess, attempt to maintain or terminate the Loan, as mandated by competent authorities or reasonably determined by the Lender to be necessary and desirable and any other reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs, unforeseen by the Lender as of the Effective Date hereof, directly related to the purpose of this Section.

7.2 Increased Costs. If due to any Change in Law issued or made after the Effective Date by any Governmental Authority there shall be: (a) any increase in the cost to any Lender of

making or maintaining the Loan; (b) any increase in the amount of capital required or maintained, or expected to be maintained, by the Lender and the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of the Loan outstanding hereunder; or (c) any decrease in the effective rate of return on the capital of the Lender of making or maintaining the Loan to a level below that which the Lender would have attained but for the Change in Law (all of the preceding excluding any such increased costs, increased capital requirements or decreased rate of return (each an “Event”, together the “Events”), resulting from (A) Taxes or (B) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income affecting the Lender), (the determination of any or all of the preceding Event or Events being at the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion with respect to the Loan), then the Lender shall provide the Borrower with a notice through the Administrative Agent, (hereinafter, the “Notice”) that shall (1) describe in reasonable detail the Event together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (2) set forth the cost to the Lender of such Event, and (3) calculate such amount as the Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion is necessary to be compensated for the cost of such Event. Such Notices (or Notices) may be sent by the Lender in respect of an Event (or Events) from time to time. The Borrower shall promptly, following receipt of such Notice, pay directly to the Lender the amount sufficient to compensate the Lender for the cost of such Event. The Notice, including the certifications made therein, shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

SECTION 8

BORROWER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, the Borrower (and, in respect of Sections 8.12 and 8.15, the Guarantor) hereby REPRESENT AND WARRANT to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that, as of the Effective Date and at each Drawdown Date (except where specifically stated to be given as of another date):

8.1 The Borrower has the power, authority, and capacity to enter into, exercise its rights under, and to perform and comply with its obligations under this Agreement, and that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financial Documents have been duly authorised by all necessary actions;

8.2 The obligations expressed as being assumed by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Financial Documents constitute the Borrower’s legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors generally and general principles of equity;

8.3 As of the Effective Date, under the laws of the USVI in force on the Effective Date, it is not necessary that this Agreement be filed, recorded or enrolled with any court or other authority in the USVI or that any registration or similar Taxes be paid on or in relation to this Agreement;

8.4 There is no pending and, to the Borrower’s knowledge, no threatened material litigation against the Borrower;

8.5 There are no pending and, to the Borrower’s knowledge, there are no threatened (i) written claims, complaints, notices or requests for information received by the Borrower with respect to any alleged violation of any Environmental Laws by the Borrower, or (ii) written complaints notices or inquiries received by the Borrower regarding potential material liability of the Borrower under any Environmental Laws;

8.6 Each Advance shall be used in a manner consistent with the purposes set out in Section 2.1 of this Agreement;

8.7 No Event of Default has occurred or is continuing;

8.8 No Material Adverse Effect has occurred and is continuing;

8.9 Neither:

(a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Borrower;

(b) nor the entry into and performance of all terms of this Agreement by the Borrower, any Promissory Notes or any transactions contemplated by this Agreement:

(i) will conflict with, or result in any breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default or require any authorization under any applicable law or regulation by which the Borrower is bound or will violate any order, license, permit or consent applicable to the Borrower or by which the Borrower is bound; or

(ii) will cause any limitation on any of the powers of the Borrower whatsoever and howsoever imposed, to be exceeded; or

(iii) will require any consent or approval of any officer of the Borrower or any other person which has not been obtained.

8.10 The claims of the Lenders regarding the Loan Amount shall rank at least pari passu in respect of the priority of payment of all other claims regarding all present and future Indebtedness of the Borrower;

8.11 The Borrower is in compliance with all applicable USVI laws and regulations, including USVI law relating to the payment of Taxes and to corruption and bribery;

8.12 No member of the Seven Seas Group, nor any Person acting on its or any of their behalf, has committed or engaged in, with respect to any of their respective operations or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, any Sanctionable Practice;

8.13 All written information heretofore furnished by the Borrower to the Lenders for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement is, and all such information hereunder furnished by the Borrower to the Lenders will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is stated or certified. Such information, when taken as a whole, does not contain any material misstatement of a material fact and does not omit to state

any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders in writing any and all facts known to Borrower which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.14 Each Plan sponsored by Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, would result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has made or accrued all contributions due under the terms of any Plan, Welfare Plan or under ERISA with respect to all of its Plans and, with respect to all Plans sponsored by the Borrower, as of the Effective Date, the present fair market value of all Plan assets exceeds the present value of all vested benefits under each Plan on a plan termination basis (using PBGC actuarial assumptions), as determined on the most recent valuation date of the Plan and in accordance with the provisions of ERISA. Neither Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates, sponsors, maintains or contributes to any Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA. None of Borrower’s ERISA Affiliates has incurred any liability to the PBGC under ERISA that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and with respect to any Plan that has been terminated, all Plan obligations have been settled and there exists no unfunded liability of any kind. As of the Effective Date, Borrower does not maintain any Welfare Plan providing coverage for any period of time beyond termination of employment (except to the extent required by Section 4980B of the Code).

8.15 To the extent applicable, each of the Borrower, the Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

8.16 Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” Margin Stock within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms in the Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America (the “Board”). No part of the proceeds of any Loan have been or will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” Margin Stock under Regulation U or for any other purpose that would reasonably be expected to cause any of the Loans to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X. Borrower will not take, nor direct any agent acting on its behalf to take, any action which would reasonably be expected to cause any transaction or obligation, or right created by this Agreement, or any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto, to violate any Regulation of the Board.

(a) Declare the Loan to be immediately due and payable and thereafter proceed to exercise any rights and remedies available to it under applicable law; and

(b) By notice to the Borrower, suspend the Lender’s obligation to make Advances, which suspension will continue until such Event of Default has been cured or the Lender otherwise notifies the Borrower that the suspension is removed and such Event of Default has been waived by the Lenders;

SECTION 11

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

11.1 Authorization.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.5, Administrative Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each Lender, as directed by the Required Lenders or, if required hereunder, all of the Lenders, as the case may be, and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Financial Documents and any related documents delegated to Administrative Agent, together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto,

including the authority from time to time to take any action with respect to any collateral or the Financial Documents which may be necessary to perfect, maintain perfected or insure the priority of the security interest in and liens upon the collateral granted pursuant to the Financial Documents, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by Administrative Agent. Each Lender (a) authorizes Administrative Agent to execute, deliver and, as necessary, amend all Financial Documents upon its direction to the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and (b) agrees that, upon and after such execution and delivery, such Lender shall be bound by such Financial Documents.

(b) Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Security Document: (i) upon the satisfaction of all Obligations, or (ii) constituting property sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent) under any Financial Document (it being understood and agreed that Administrative Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an authorized officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Financial Documents).

(c) The relationship between Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders is that of an independent contractor. The use of the term “Administrative Agent” is for convenience only and is used to describe, as a form of convention, the independent contractual relationship between Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Financial Documents shall be construed to create an agency, trust or other fiduciary relationship between Administrative Agent and any of the Lenders.

(d) As an independent contractor empowered by Lenders to exercise certain rights and perform certain duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Financial Documents, Administrative Agent is nevertheless a “representative” of the Lenders, as that term is defined in Article 1 of the Uniform Commercial Code, for purposes of actions for the benefit of Lenders and Administrative Agent with respect to all collateral security and guarantees contemplated by the Financial Documents. Such actions include the designation of Administrative Agent as “secured party”, “mortgagee” or the like on all financing statements and other documents and instruments, whether recorded or otherwise, relating to the attachment, perfection, priority or enforcement of any security interests, mortgages or deeds of trust in collateral security intended to secure the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, all for the benefit of Lenders and Administrative Agent.

11.2 Employees and Agents. Administrative Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Financial Documents. Administrative Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as agents in its sole discretion and may pay any and all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any such Persons.

11.3 No Liability. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any Administrative Agent or employee thereof, shall be liable for any waiver, consent or approval given or any

action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the Financial Documents or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever.

11.4 No Representations. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the other Financial Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Promissory Note, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Promissory Note, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the Financial Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Promissory Note or to inspect any of the properties, books or records of Borrower or Guarantor. Administrative Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by Borrower, Guarantor or any holder of the Promissory Note shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. Administrative Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the credit worthiness or financial conditions of Borrower or Guarantor. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Administrative Agent agrees to provide the Lenders with notice of (a) the acceleration of the Obligations and (b) the commencement of the exercise of remedies under the Financial Documents.

11.5 Payments.

(a) A payment by Borrower to Administrative Agent hereunder or any of the other Financial Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. Administrative Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of payments received by Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Financial Documents.

(b) If in the sole and absolute opinion of Administrative Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Promissory Note or under any of the other Financial Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to Administrative Agent its Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financial Documents, any Lender that fails to make available to Administrative Agent its Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any Loan Amount shall be deemed a delinquent lender (a “Delinquent Lender”) until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it, whether on account of outstanding Loan Amounts, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective Lender’s Commitment Percentages of all outstanding Loan Amounts. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their Lender’s Commitment Percentages of all outstanding Loan Amounts. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loan Amounts of the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loan Amounts have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

(d) Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which Administrative Agent or such Affiliate or such officer, director, employee or agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required herein or under any other Financial Documents, and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, or any of the other Financial Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or Administrative Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder.

(e) In its individual capacity, Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Lenders Commitment Percentage and the portion of the Loan Amount made by it, as it would have were it not also Administrative Agent.

11.6 Resignation. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lenders or accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Financial Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

11.7 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

(a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial, administrative or like proceeding or any assignment for the benefit of creditors relative to: the Borrower or the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan Amount shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding, under any such assignment or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan Amount and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent) allowed in such proceeding or under any such assignment; and

(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

(b) Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding or under any such assignment is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, nevertheless to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent hereunder.

(c) Nothing contained herein shall authorize Administrative Agent to consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations owed to such Lender or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding or under any such assignment.

SECTION 12

GENERAL

12.1 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid in whole or in part as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid to such extent without affecting the remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to the other parties or in any other jurisdiction and to this end, the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

12.2 No Waiver, Cumulative Remarks. No failure or delay by the Lenders in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof. The partial or single exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver or as an estoppel regarding any rights under the same. All rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised contemporaneously or successively, and are in addition to and not exclusive of any other rights and remedies provided by law.

12.3 Conclusive Evidence. A certificate signed by an officer of the Lender shall be conclusive evidence as to any rates or amounts to be calculated or owing under or in respect of this Agreement (save for demonstrable error).

12.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all of the representations and warranties, undertakings, covenants and agreements between the parties. All prior negotiations, understandings, undertakings, covenants, representations and agreements, whether oral or written, in connection with the Agreement are merged herein.

12.5 Modification, Amendment. No provision of this Agreement or any other Financial Document may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived, except by a written instrument signed by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders), the Borrower and the Guarantor, as applicable; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall: (i) increase a Lender’s Commitment Percentage (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Loan Amount, shall not constitute an increase of the Lender’s Commitment Percentage), without the prior written consent of such affected Lender, (ii) postpone or delay the scheduled final maturity date of any Loan, without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, or postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Financial Document for any payment of principal, interest or fees due to any Lender hereunder or under any other Financial Document, without the prior written consent of such affected Lender, (iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified in any Financial Document on, any Loan Amount of any Lender, without the prior written consent of such affected Lender, (iv) release all or substantially all of any collateral except as shall be otherwise provided in any Security Document or other Financial Document, or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of or the Guarantor any of their respective obligations under this Credit Agreement or any other Financial Document without the prior written, unanimous consent of the Lenders, or (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 12.5 without the prior written, unanimous consent of the Lenders. Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification made or entered into in accordance with this Section 12.5 shall be binding upon the Borrower and the Lenders (including the Administrative Agent). Any amendment or waiver of any provision of any document which relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent shall require the written agreement of the Administrative Agent in addition to satisfying any other requirement under this Agreement.

12.6 Assignment. The Borrower and the Guarantor may not assign, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) whether in whole or in part, the benefits of this Agreement. Prior to the Final

Drawdown Date and in the absence of an Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Lenders hereunder may be assigned with the prior written consent of the Borrower, the Guarantor and the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and such consent of the Borrower and the Guarantor not to be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). After the Final Drawdown Date or following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Lenders may be assigned without notice to the Borrower or Guarantor.

12.7 Disclosure of Information — Confidentiality. The Lenders, the Borrower and the Guarantor (each a “Confidential Information Holder” as the context may require) agree to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information disclosed by the Lenders, the Borrower or the Guarantor in connection with the Financial Documents (“Confidential Information”); provided, however, that a Confidential Information Holder may disclose the Confidential Information: (i) if the Confidential Information Holder obtains such Confidential Information from a third party who is not bound by the obligation of confidentiality; (ii) if the Confidential Information is a matter of public knowledge through no fault of the Confidential Information Holder; (iii) to any assignee or to any Person who may otherwise enter into contractual relations with the Confidential Information Holder in relation to this Agreement, provided, that, prior to any such disclosure, such assignee or Person shall agree to preserve the confidentiality, pursuant to this Section 12.7, of any Confidential Information received by it from the Confidential Information Holder; (iv) if the Confidential Information is disclosed under a requirement of law or by the Confidential Information Holder in the course of enforcing its rights hereunder or defending itself against any action, suit claim or similar dispute or (v) any disclosures of Confidential Information required by US GAAP.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Guarantor agree that the Lenders may disclose the following information in their respective annual report or in advertising (in the form of a tombstone): the name of the Lender, the name of the Borrower and Guarantor, the date of this Agreement, a general description of the transaction (including the country) relating to this Agreement and the amount of the Loan.

12.8 Withholding Taxes. All payments due hereunder (including without limitation under any Promissory Notes contemplated by this Agreement) shall be made without set off and free from all Taxes imposed on the Lender unless deduction of said Taxes cannot be avoided or waived by operation of law. In the event that the Borrower is required by law to deduct Taxes from such payment then (a) provided that the Lender would continue to be entitled to treat any such deductions by the Borrower as evidence that it has already paid Taxes on payments to it from the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall provide the Lender with evidence that it has paid the Taxes deducted from payments to the relevant authorities; (b) regardless of whether the circumstances in clause (a) are or are not applicable, the payments due by the Borrower must still be increased insofar as necessary in order to ensure that the amount which remains following such deductions shall equal the amount which would have been made payable in the absence of such requirement.

In the event that a Lender located in the USVI funds its pro rata share of the Loan from outside of the USVI, the Margin shall be adjusted to reflect withholding tax on the Lender’s funding.

12.9 Business Day Interest Extension. Whenever a Payment Date occurs on a day other than a Business Day, such Payment Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest.

12.10 Judgment Currency. It is of the essence of this Agreement that the respective parties make the various payments hereunder in the currency expressed for such payments (the currency expressed with respect to each payment therein called the “Required Currency” of such payment). The obligation of each party to make each payment in the Required Currency shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any other currency (including the payment of damages for the breach of this Agreement), until and except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the receiving party in the Required Currency of the amount expressed to be payable in that currency. The obligation of each party to make such payment in the Required Currency shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovery in the Required Currency of the amount, (if any), by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under this Agreement.

12.11 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, directions, consents and other communications under this Agreement shall, unless otherwise stated herein, he in writing, and mailed or hand-delivered or sent by facsimile or e-mail transmission as to each party hereto, at the address for such party set forth below, or at stich address as shall be designated by the party in a written notice to the other party hereto (and, for ease of reference, facsimile or e-mail transmissions sent from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Electronic Communication Agreement, save to the extent that any of its provisions are in conflict with the terms of this Agreement, and, in such cases, the terms of this Agreement shall have priority):
