INTERCREDITOR PRINCIPLES
Capitalised terms used below have the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Bond Terms, unless otherwise defined below. The main principles on which the Intercreditor Agreement will be based are as follows:
Parties:
To establish the relative rights of the creditors under various financing arrangements, the Intercreditor Agreement will be entered into (or acceded to where relevant) by and among the following parties:
1.Kosmos Energy GTA Holdings as issuer of the Bonds (the “Issuer”);
2.Kosmos Energy Ltd as the Ultimate Parent;
3.each Senior Guarantor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Ultimate Parent) (together with the Issuer, the “Debtors”);
4.any Issuer Group Company that is a lender under any Intercompany Loan (the “Intra-Group Lenders”);
5.the subordinated creditors in respect of any Subordinated Loan or unsecured Permitted Hedging Obligations (the “Subordinated Creditors”);
6.any hedge counterparties in respect of the Pari Passu Hedging Liabilities (the “Hedge Counterparties”);
7.any Pari Passu Creditor (or, in the case of a Pari Passu Creditor being a bondholder, its bond trustee);
8.the Bond Trustee (in its capacity as bond trustee under the Bonds); and
9.the Security Agent.
Ranking and priority:
The Pari Passu Liabilities owed by the Debtors to the Primary Creditors shall rank in right and priority of payment pari passu and without any preference between them.
Any Guarantee and the Transaction Security shall rank and secure the Pari Passu Liabilities pari passu and without any preference between them (but only to the extent that such Guarantee or Transaction Security is expressed to secure those liabilities).
The Subordinated Liabilities and Intra-Group Liabilities are postponed and subordinated to the Liabilities owed by the Debtors to the Primary Creditors under the Debt Documents.
Permitted payments in respect of Intra-Group Liabilities:
The Debtors may make payments in respect of Intra-Group Liabilities from time to time when due until an event of default has occurred and is continuing and of which an acceleration notice has been served under any of the relevant Debt Documents.
Prior to the final discharge date of the Primary Creditors, neither the Issuer nor any other Debtor shall make any payment of Subordinated Liabilities, other than (a) prior to the occurrence of an acceleration event under the relevant Debt Documents, to the extent permitted under the finance documents governing any Pari Passu Liabilities; or (b) following an acceleration event, with the consent of the Instructing Group. The Debt Documents shall not prohibit or restrict any roll-up or capitalisation of interest, fees or any other amount payable or conversion to equity in respect of any Intra-Group Liabilities or Subordinated Liabilities.
60




Effect of insolvency event:
After the occurrence of an insolvency event in relation to any Issuer Group Company or the Ultimate Parent, any party entitled to receive a distribution out of the assets of that member of the Issuer Group or Ultimate Parent Group (in the case of a Primary Creditor, only to the extent that such amount constitutes enforcement proceeds) in respect of liabilities owed to that party shall, to the extent it is able to do so, direct the person responsible for the distribution of the assets of that person to make that distribution to the Security Agent (or to such other person as the Security Agent shall direct) until the liabilities owing to the Secured Parties have been paid in full.
The Security Agent shall apply such distributions made to it in accordance with section “Application of proceeds” below.
Turnover of receipts:
If at any time prior to the final discharge date of all Primary Creditors, any Creditor receives or recovers any payment on account or in respect of any Liabilities other than as permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement, that Creditor will promptly pay or distribute an amount equal to that receipt or Recovery to the Security Agent for application in accordance with section “Application of proceeds” below.
Bond Trustee protection:
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in the Intercreditor Agreement, the Bond Trustee shall not be liable for any failure by any Bondholder to comply with any obligation such Bondholder may have under the Intercreditor Agreement, including to make any payment or repayment, or any distribution or redistribution (including, without limitation, under section “Turnover of receipts” above), to the Security Agent (or any other Creditor or person) of any amount received or recovered by that Bondholder under or in respect of any Debt Document.
Furthermore, the Bond Trustee shall have no obligation to pay, repay, distribute or redistribute, or ensure the payment, repayment, distribution or redistribution of, any amount received or recovered by any Bondholder under or in respect of any Debt Document which should have been paid, repaid, distributed or redistributed by such Bondholder to the Security Agent (or any other Creditor or person) pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, and shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses incurred by any Creditor or any other person as result of any such failure by any Bondholder referred to above.
61




Enforcement of Transaction Security:
Following notification to the Security Agent of the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, an Event of Default under and as defined in any Pari Passu Hedging Agreement with respect to any Hedge Counterparty), if any of the Pari Passu Creditors (the “Instructing Pari Passu Creditors”) wish to issue instructions as to enforcement of any Transaction Security or Guarantee, the Pari Passu Creditor Representatives representing that group of Instructing Pari Passu Creditors shall deliver a copy of those proposed Enforcement Instructions (an “Initial Enforcement Notice”) to the Security Agent and the Security Agent shall promptly forward such Initial Enforcement Notice to each Pari Passu Creditor Representative and each Hedge Counterparty which did not deliver such Initial Enforcement Notice.
Subject to the exceptions set out below, the Security Agent will act in accordance with such instructions as received from the Majority Pari Passu Creditors (“Enforcement Instructions”).
If the Majority Pari Passu Creditors have not instructed the Security Agent in writing to initiate enforcement of the Transaction Security in accordance with the Enforcement Principles within 60 days of the date of the Initial Enforcement Notice and in accordance with Enforcement Instructions received from the Majority Pari Passu Creditor as regards method of enforcement, the Security Agent will act in accordance with the Initial Enforcement Notice, provided that the Initial Enforcement Notice is consistent with the Enforcement Principles.
If an insolvency event is continuing with respect to a Debtor then the Security Agent shall enforce the Transaction Security or Guarantee or take other action as to Enforcement in such manner as the Majority Pari Passu Creditors shall instruct or, in the absence of any such instructions, as the Security Agent considers in its discretion to be appropriate and consistent with the Enforcement Principles.
No independent enforcement rights for any Hedge Counterparty.
Manner of enforcement:
If the Transaction Security is being enforced, the Security Agent shall enforce the Transaction Security in such manner as the Instructing Group shall instruct (provided that such instructions are consistent with section “Enforcement principles” below) or, in the absence of any such instructions, as the Security Agent considers in its discretion to be appropriate and consistent with those principles.
The other Secured Parties shall not have any independent power to enforce, or have recourse to, any of the Transaction Security or to exercise any right, power, authority or discretion arising under the documents evidencing the terms of the Transaction Security except through the Security Agent.
62

If any disposal proceeds are required to be applied in mandatory prepayment of the Pari Passu Liabilities, then those disposal proceeds shall be applied in accordance with the Debt Documents and the consent of any other party shall not be required for that application.

(ii)to release the Disposed Entity, or any subsidiary of the Disposed Entity, from all or any part of its liabilities;

(vi)to dispose of (including by way of appropriation) all or any part of the liabilities owing to the Disposed Entity, or any subsidiary of the Disposed Entity,
in each case, (A) that may, in the discretion of the Security Agent, be considered necessary or desirable and (B) on behalf of the relevant Creditors, Secured Parties and Debtors.
The net proceeds of each distressed disposal (and each debt disposal) shall be paid, or distributed, to the Security Agent for application in accordance with section “Application of proceeds” below.
For the purposes of distressed disposals, the Security Agent (a) shall act on the instructions of the Instructing Group, or in the absence of any such instructions, as the Security Agent sees fit and (b) may engage, or approve the engagement of, pay for and rely on the services of a financial adviser in accordance with section “Enforcement principles” below.
