This future obligation of AB Klaipėdos Nafta secured by mortgage will emerge once the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania pays to EIB the sums under the State Guarantee Agreement. Once the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania has made such a payment to EIB, the parties to the mortgage agreement will define the conditions of the obligation of AB Klaipėdos Nafta to repay the corresponding amounts in the debt repayment agreement.

The parcel of land specified in clause 2(a) shall be mortgaged under primary maximum ordinary mortgage whereas the immovable items and the property complex listed in clause 2(b) shall be mortgaged under primary maximum conditional mortgage.

For the purpose of mortgaging the property listed in clause 2, to conclude and sign a maximum conditional and ordinary mortgage agreement with the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania (hereinafter referred to as Mortgage Agreement) and any other documents related to the Mortgage Agreement, undertake and fulfil all obligations arising from the Mortgage Agreement (including property insurance and valuation, as defined in the Mortgage Agreement), and take other actions required for appropriate conclusion, signing, submission, registration, validity and performance of the Mortgage Agreement.

Since the property listed in clause 2(b) is being mortgaged as future property, clause 2(b) provides a preliminary list of such mortgaged property. Regardless of the above, the Board hereby decides to mortgage the entire terminal that will be created during the LNGT project, including the link, which comprises immovable property, and as a complex of property, movable property installed and/or built in or next to such immovable property (installations/equipment), which will be owned by AB Klaipėdos Nafta. Once the conditions for the coming into effect of conditional mortgage specified in the Mortgage Agreement emerge, the list of property mortgaged under the Mortgage Agreement may be adjusted under the procedure defined in the Mortgage Agreement so that it matches the actual composition of the immovable property comprising the LNGT that was created and whose ownership was obtained by AB Klaipėdos Nafta and of the movable property (installations/equipment) installed/built in and/or next to that property. The Board also hereby decides on the conclusion, signing and registration of the amendments to the Mortgage Agreement that are required for the implementation of the said adjustment of the list of property mortgaged under the Mortgage Agreement and no separate decision of the Board to make those amendments will be required.

3. AB Klaipėdos Nafta may conclude a Mortgage Agreement specified in clause 2 and sign any related documents as well as take other required actions and may pay the margin payment specified in clause 1 only after receiving a confirmation from the European Commission that the state guarantee granted to the European Investment Bank is not considered state aid under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union or is considered state aid compatible with the internal market under the Treaty. This decision of the Board will be totally sufficient for undertaking the obligations specified in clauses 1 and 2, signing the documents and taking the actions as soon as such confirmation of the European Commission is received, and a separate additional decision of the Board on matters listed in this decision will not be required.

4. The head of AB Klaipėdos Nafta or another person duly authorised by him is being authorised and empowered to: On behalf of AB Klaipėdos Nafta and at his discretion, negotiate and agree on all the documents specified in clauses 1 and 2 of this decision, including but not limited to the conditions of the Margin Payment Agreement, the Mortgage Agreement and of the amendments in its clause 2 and the conditions of any related documents; conclude, sign and register these documents, including but not limited to the Margin Payment Agreement, the Mortgage Agreement and the amendments in its clause 2, and any other related documents and take any other actions required or recommended in order to duly conclude, sign, submit and register the transactions provided in this decision (including amendments, supplementations and other modifications to such documents); conclude, sign and submit the required documents and take any other actions required for stating, confirmation and/or registration in the respective registries of the emergence of the conditional mortgage conditions defined in the Mortgage Agreement.
