amount of the deposit (in the case of cash) or determined conclusively by appropriate
advisers appointed by the Lender (in the case of other charged assets).
	 
	3.2	 	The Borrowers undertake to use the proceeds of each Advance in accordance with and for the
purposes referred to in Clause 1; the Lender (although entitled) shall not be obliged to
monitor the application of such proceeds.
	 
	3.3	 	All the liabilities and obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement shall, whether
expressed to be so or not, be joint and several so that each Borrower shall be jointly and
severally responsible with the other Borrowers for all liabilities and obligations of the
Borrowers under this Agreement and so that such liabilities and obligations shall not be
impaired by:






	 	(a)	 	any failure of this Agreement to be legal, valid, binding and enforceable in
relation to any of the Borrowers whether as a result of lack of corporate capacity,
due authorisation, effective execution or otherwise;
	 
	 	(b)	 	any giving of time, forbearance, indulgence, waiver or discharge in relation
to any of the Borrowers or to any other party to the Security Documents; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	any other matter or event whatsoever which might have the effect of impairing
all or any of the liabilities and obligations of any of the Borrowers.






	3.4	 	Each of the Borrowers declares that it is and will, throughout the Security Period, remain a
principal debtor for all amounts owing under this Agreement and none of the Borrowers shall in
any circumstances be construed to be a surety for the obligations of the other Borrowers
hereunder.
	 
	3.5	 	Until all sums owing to the Lender by the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other
Security Documents have been paid in full none of the Borrowers (hereinafter called a
“Creditor Borrower”) will without the prior written consent of the Lender ask, demand, sue
for, take or receive from any of the other Borrowers or any other member of the Group
(hereinafter called a “Debtor Borrower”) by set-off or any other manner the whole or any part
of all present and future sums, liabilities and obligations payable or owing by the Debtor
Borrower to the Creditor Borrower whether actual or contingent jointly or severally or
otherwise howsoever (such sums being hereinafter called the “Subordinated Liabilities”) so
long as any Senior Liabilities are outstanding to the Lender (for which purpose “Senior
Liabilities” shall mean all present and future sums, liabilities and obligations whatsoever
payable or owing by the Borrowers (or any of them) pursuant to the Security Documents or any
of them or otherwise whatsoever, whether actual or contingent jointly or severally or
otherwise howsoever).

Facilities drawn down to a sum in excess of seventy per cent (70%) of the aggregate of the
Market Values of the Ships subject to a Mortgage and the value of any other security
determined in accordance with clause 3.1. on the Drawdown Date of such Advance.






	5.3	 	Unless otherwise expressly agreed between the Borrowers and the Lender no Revolving Advance

accordance with such notice.
	 
	5.6	 	On payment of the amount drawn down in respect of each Advance the Borrowers shall sign an

	5.7	 	If the Borrowers give a Notice of Drawdown pursuant to Clause 5.1.3 and the Lender makes
arrangements on the basis of such notice to acquire Dollars in the London Interbank Market to
fund an Advance or any part thereof and the Borrowers are not permitted or otherwise fail to
borrow in accordance with such Notice of Drawdown (either on account of any condition
precedent not being fulfilled or otherwise) the Borrowers shall indemnify the Lender against
any damages, losses or expenses which the Lender may incur (either directly or indirectly) as
a consequence of the failure by the Borrowers to borrow in accordance with such Notice of
Drawdown.
	 
	5.8	 	The Borrowers may, at any time during the Availability Period, cancel either Facility or, as
the case may be, any part thereof which remains undrawn in whole or in part (but if in part in
a minimum of Five hundred thousand Dollars ($500,000) or a multiple thereof upon giving the
Lender three (3) Banking Days’ notice in writing to that effect. Such notice once given shall
be irrevocable and upon such cancellation taking effect the relevant Facility shall be reduced
accordingly. Notwithstanding any such cancellation pursuant to this Clause 5.8 the Borrowers
shall continue to be liable for any and all amounts due to the Lender under this Agreement
including without limitation any amounts due to the Lender under Clauses 7, 9, 15 and 28.
	 
	6.	 	INTEREST PERIODS
	 
	6.1	 	Subject to Clause 6.2, the Interest Periods applicable to an Advance shall (subject to market
availability) be periods of a duration of one (1), three (3), six (6) months or twelve (12)
months (or such other periods as the Lender and the Borrowers may agree) as selected by the
Borrowers by written notice to be received by the Lender not later than 11.00 a.m. (London
time) on the relevant Nomination Date;
	 
	6.2	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 6.1:






	6.2.1	 	the initial Interest Period in respect of the Term Advance first to occur shall commence on
the Drawdown Date thereof and shall end on the expiry date thereof and the initial Interest
Period in respect of any subsequent Term Advance shall commence on the Drawdown Date thereof
and shall end on the last day of the then current Interest Period in respect of the Term
Advance first to occur and upon expiration of the first Interest Period in respect of the Term
Advance first to occur,




25









 






	 	 	all Term Advances shall be consolidated into and shall be treated in all respects
as a single Term Advance and each subsequent Interest Period for such consolidated
single Term Advance shall commence on the expiry of the preceding Interest Period
in respect thereof;
	 
	6.2.2	 	the initial Interest Period in respect of each Revolving Advance shall commence on the
Drawdown Date thereof and shall end on the expiry date thereof and each subsequent Interest
Period for that Revolving Advance shall commence on the expiry of the preceding Interest
Period in respect thereof;
	 
	6.2.3	 	if any Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Banking Day, that
Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding day which is a Banking Day unless
such next succeeding Banking Day falls in another calendar month in which event the Interest
Period shall end upon the immediately preceding Banking Day;
	 
	6.2.4	 	if any Interest Period commences on the last Banking Day in a calendar month or if there is
no numerically corresponding day in the month in which that Interest Period ends, that
Interest Period shall end on the last Banking Day in that later month;
	 
	6.2.5	 	where any Repayment Date in relation to the Term Facility or a Reduction Date in relation to
the Revolving Facility occurs other than at the end of an Interest Period there shall, in
respect of that part of the relevant Facility equivalent to the amount of the Repayment
Instalment falling due on such Repayment Date or to the amount by which the Applicable Limit
shall be reduced on such Reduction Date (as the case may be) be a separate Interest Period
expiring on such Repayment Date and/or Reduction Date and the Interest Rate relating to such
part shall be fixed separately;
	 
	6.2.6	 	no Interest Period in respect of either Facility shall extend beyond the final
Repayment Date applicable to that Facility;
	 
	6.2.7	 	save as provided in Clause 6.2.1, if the Borrowers fail to select an Interest Period in
accordance with the above, such Interest Period shall be of three (3) months duration or of
such other duration as the Lender in its sole discretion may reasonably select and notify the
Borrowers; and
	 
	6.2.8	 	save as provided in Clauses 6.2.1 and 6.2.5 the Borrowers shall not select more than one (1)
Interest Period in respect of the Term Facility at any one time.






	7.	 	INTEREST
	 
	7.1	 	Subject to the terms of this Agreement the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender interest in
respect of each Advance (or the relevant part thereof) accruing at the Interest Rate for each
Interest Period relating thereto in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period, provided
that where such Interest Period is of a duration longer than three (3) months, accrued




26









 






	 	 	interest in respect of such Advance (or such part thereof) shall be paid every three (3)
months during such Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period.
	 
	7.2	 	Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a three
hundred and sixty (360) day year.
	 
	7.3	 	The Lender shall on the Drawdown Date first to occur and on each date falling at consecutive
quarterly intervals thereafter (each a “Margin Calculation Date”), calculate the Applicable
Margin for the following three (3) months and the Lender shall make such calculations by
reference to the most recent Financial Statements delivered to it in accordance with Clause
19.1; the Lender agrees to notify the Borrowers promptly of the Applicable Margin determined
by it under this Clause 7.3.
	 
	7.4	 	The Interest Rate applicable for each Interest Period shall be calculated and determined by
the Lender on each Interest Determination Date and each such determination of an Interest Rate
hereunder shall be promptly notified by the Lender to the Borrowers at the beginning of each
Interest Period in respect thereof.
	 
	7.5	 	The Lender’s certificate as to the Applicable Margin and/or the Interest Rate applicable
shall be final and (except in the case of manifest error) binding on the Borrowers and the
other Security Parties.
	 
	8.	 	DEFAULT INTEREST
	 
	8.1	 	In the event of a failure by the Borrowers to pay any amount on the date on which such amount
is due and payable pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Security Documents and irrespective
of any notice by the Lender or any other person to the Borrowers in respect of such failure,
the Borrowers shall pay interest on such amount on demand from the date of such default up to
the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at the per annum rate which is
the aggregate of (a) two per cent (2%) and (b) the Applicable Margin and (c) LIBOR.
	 
	8.2	 	Clause 7.2 shall apply to the calculation of interest on amounts in default.
	 
	9.	 	SUBSTITUTE BASIS
	 
	9.1	 	If the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that:






	9.1.1	 	at 11.00 a.m. (London time) on any Interest Determination Date the Lender was not being
offered by banks in the London Interbank Market deposits in Dollars in the required amount and
for the required period; or
	 
	9.1.2	 	by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Market such deposits are not
available to the Lender in such market; or




27









 






	9.1.3	 	adequate and reasonable means do not or will not exist for the Lender to ascertain the
Interest Rate applicable to the next succeeding Interest Period; or
	 
	9.1.4	 	Dollars will or may not continue to be freely transferable;






	 	 	then, and in any such case the Lender shall give notice of any such event to the Borrowers
and in case any of the above occurs on the Interest Determination Date prior to a Drawdown
Date the Borrowers’ right to borrow an Advance which remains available for borrowing shall
be suspended during the continuation of such circumstances.
	 
	9.2	 	If, however, any of the events described in Clause 9.1 occurs on any other Interest
Determination Date relative to an Advance or any part thereof, then the duration of the
relevant Interest Period(s) shall be up to one (1) month and during such Interest Period the
Interest Rate applicable to such Advance or the relevant part thereof shall be the rate per
annum determined by the Lender rounded upwards to the nearest whole multiple of one sixteenth
per cent (1/16th%) to be the aggregate of the Applicable Margin and the cost (expressed as a
percentage rate per annum) to the Lender of funding the amount of such Advance or any part
thereof during such Interest Period(s).
	 
	9.3	 	During such Interest Period(s) the Borrowers and the Lender shall negotiate in good faith in
order to agree an Interest Rate or Rates and Interest Period or Periods satisfactory to the
Borrowers and the Lender to be substituted for those which but for the occurrence of any such
event as specified in this Clause would have applied. If the Borrowers and the Lender are
unable to agree on such an Interest Rate(s) and Interest Period(s) by the day which is two (2)
Banking Days before the end of the Interest Period referred to above, the Borrowers shall
repay the Facilities together with accrued interest thereon at the Interest Rate set out above
together with all other amounts due under this Agreement relative to the Facilities but
without any prepayment fee, on the last day of such Interest Period, whereupon both Facilities
shall be cancelled and no further Advances shall be made hereunder.
	 
	10.	 	PREPAYMENT
	 
	10.1	 	If a Ship is sold or becomes a Total Loss or the Mortgage on that Ship is discharged, on the
Disposal Reduction Date for that Ship, the Borrowers shall prepay such part of the Facilities
as is equal to the higher of (i) the Relevant Amount and (ii) such amount in Dollars as shall
ensure that, following the relevant prepayment, the Security Margin referred to in Clause 23
is maintained.
	 
	 	 	Defined terms
	 
	 	 	For the purposes of this Clause 10.1:






	 	(a)	 	“Applicable Fraction” means, in relation to a Ship, a fraction having a
numerator of an amount equal to the Market Value of such Ship (as most recently
determined in accordance with clause 21.26) and a denominator of an amount equal to
the aggregate Market Values of all of the Ships mortgaged at the relevant time in




28









 






	 	 	 	favour of the Lender (as most recently determined in accordance with clause 21.26),
in each case as at the Disposal Reduction Date of such Ship;
	 
	 	(b)	 	“Disposal Reduction Date” means:






	 	(i)	 	in relation to a Ship which has become a Total Loss, its
Total Loss Reduction Date; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	in relation to a Ship which is sold in accordance with the
provisions of the relevant Security Documents, the date of completion of such
sale by the transfer of title to such Ship to the purchaser in exchange for
payment of the relevant purchase price; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	in relation to a Ship the Mortgage on which is discharged
following the request of the Borrowers and the consent of the Lender in
accordance with this Clause 10.1, the date of discharge of such Mortgage by
the Lender;






	 	(c)	 	“Total Loss Reduction Date” means, in relation to a Ship which has become a
Total Loss, the date which is the earlier of:






	 	(i)	 	the date falling one hundred and eighty (180) days after that
on which such Ship becomes a Total Loss; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the date upon which insurance proceeds are or Requisition
Compensation is received in respect of such Total Loss by the relevant Owner
(or the Lender pursuant to the relevant General Assignment or Mortgage); and






	 	(d)	 	“Relevant Amount” means, in relation to a Ship which has become a Total
Loss or is sold or the Mortgage of which is discharged in accordance with this Clause
10.1, the amount in Dollars which is equal to the amount of the Applicable Fraction
multiplied by the amount of the Facilities outstanding as of the Disposal Reduction
Date for such Ship.






Subject to no Event of Default or any event which with the giving of notice or passage of
time or satisfaction of any other condition or any combination of the foregoing may become
an Event of Default being in occurrence or continuing at the time a prepayment is made
under this Clause 10.1, any balance arising from the sale or Total Loss or discharge of
Mortgage proceeds of a Ship, after the prepayment required by this Clause 10.1 has been
made shall be released to the Borrowers or to such other person as the Borrowers may
direct.




PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT if at any time during the Security Period there is only one Ship
subject to a Mortgage and the Mortgage on that Ship is discharged following the
Borrowers’ request or that Ship is sold (in both cases with the Lender’s prior written
consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or becomes a Total Loss, on the
Disposal Reduction Date the Borrowers shall mandatorily prepay the full amount of the
Indebtedness to the Lender.



29









 






	10.2	 	For the purposes of this Clause 10.1, a Total Loss shall be deemed to have occurred:






	 	(a)	 	in the case of an actual total loss of a Ship on the actual date and at the
time that Ship was lost or if such date is not known, seven (7) days after the date on
which such Ship was last reported;
	 
	 	(b)	 	in the case of a constructive total loss of a Ship upon the date and at the
time notice of abandonment of such Ship is given to the Insurers of that Ship for the
time being (provided a claim for such total loss is admitted by the Insurers) or, if
the Insurers do not admit such a claim, or, in the event that such notice of
abandonment is not given by the owner thereof to the Insurers of that Ship, on the
date and at the time on which the incident which may result, in that Ship being
subsequently determined to be a constructive total loss has occurred;

upon which a binding agreement as to such compromised or arranged total loss has been
entered into by the Insurers of that Ship;
	 
	 	(d)	 	in the case of Compulsory Acquisition of a Ship, on the date upon which the
relevant Compulsory Acquisition occurs; and
	 
	 	(e)	 	in the case of hijacking, theft, condemnation, capture, seizure, arrest,

Acquisition of such Ship) by any Government Entity, or by persons purporting to act on
behalf of any Government Entity, which deprives the owner thereof of the use of that
Ship for more than thirty (30) days, upon the expiry of the period of thirty (30) days
after the date upon which the relevant hijacking, theft, condemnation, capture,
seizure, arrest, detention or confiscation occurred.






	10.3	 	Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred (whereupon all moneys received by the Lender
pursuant to Clause 10.1 shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Clause 12) any
and all amounts prepaid pursuant to Clause 10.1 shall be applied pro rata: (i) towards
prepayment of the amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility and (ii) towards prepayment
of the Repayment Instalments and the Balloon Payment proportionately; provided however that
unless the Borrowers and the Lender otherwise agree in writing, upon prepayment and
application of any sums towards the Revolving Facility in accordance with this Clause 10.3,
the Applicable Limit shall be reduced by the amounts so prepaid and applied.
	 
	10.4	 	In the event that at any time during the Security Period a Corporate Guarantor receives any
proceeds following a cash exercise of warrants issued by such Corporate Guarantor, the
Borrowers shall, upon the Lender’s request, prepay to the Lender an amount equal to such
proceeds on the date of receipt thereof by the relevant Corporate Guarantor and such amount
shall be applied towards either (i) reduction of the Revolving Facility, whereupon the
Applicable Limit shall be reduced by the amount so prepaid and applied or (ii) any other
manner as may be agreed between the Borrowers and the Lender.




30









 






	10.5	 	By giving not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to the Lender the Borrowers
may prepay all or any part of either Facility (but if in part the amount to be prepaid shall
be Five hundred thousand Dollars ($500,000) or a multiple thereof) at the end of the then
current Interest Period. The Borrowers shall obtain any consent or approval from the relevant
authorities that may be necessary to make any such prepayment of a Facility and if it fails to
obtain and/or comply with the terms of such consent or approval and the Lender has to repay
the amount prepaid or the Lender incurs any penalty or loss then the Borrowers shall indemnify
the Lender forthwith against all amounts so repaid and/or against all such penalties and
losses incurred.
	 
	10.6	 	Unless the Lender otherwise expressly agrees in writing, all prepayments under Clause 10.5
and related to the Term Facility shall be applied against pro rata reduction of the Repayment
Instalments and the Balloon Payment.
	 
	10.7	 	Save as otherwise herein expressly provided, any prepayment of a Facility or any part thereof
made or deemed to be made under this Agreement shall, if made otherwise than at the end of an
Interest Period relative to the amounts prepaid, be made together with accrued interest
thereon and such additional amount (if any) as the Lender may certify as necessary to
compensate the Lender for any costs incurred or to be incurred by it as a result of such
prepayment.
	 
	10.8	 	Any notice of prepayment given by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be irrevocable and
the Borrowers shall be bound to prepay in accordance with each such notice.
	 
	10.9	 	Any prepayment made under this Agreement and applied against the Term Facility may not be
reborrowed hereunder.
	 
	10.10	 	Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Clauses
9.3, 10.3, 10.4, 11.2, 15.1, 15.2 and 24) an amount prepaid in respect of the Revolving
Facility may be reborrowed.

express terms of this Agreement.
	 
	11.	 	REPAYMENT
	 
	11.1	 	The Term Facility shall be repaid by the Borrowers by (a) the twenty eight (28) Repayment
Instalments each such Repayment Instalment being due and payable on the Repayment Date
numerically corresponding to it and, on which such Repayment Instalment shall be due and
payable hereunder and (b) the Balloon Payment being due and payable on the twenty eighth
(28th) and final Repayment Date.
	 
	11.2	 	Subject as hereinafter provided, the aggregate of all outstanding amounts under the Revolving
Facility shall be repaid by the Borrowers on the twenty eighth (28th) and final
Repayment Date




31









 






	 	 	whereupon, the Revolving Facility shall be cancelled and no further Revolving Advances
shall be drawn down.
	 
	11.3	 	The Borrowers accept and agree that on each Reduction Date, the maximum amount of the
Revolving Facility shall be reduced to the Applicable Limit available on such Reduction Date
and in case that on any Reduction Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Revolving Advances drawn down and outstanding by such Reduction Date exceeds the Applicable
Limit available on such Reduction Date, the Borrowers covenant to pay to the Lender on such
Reduction Date such part of the Revolving Facility as shall be required in order to reduce the
Revolving Facility to the Applicable Limit available on such Reduction Date.
	 
	11.4	 	Each Repayment Instalment, the Balloon Payment and each amount payable in respect of the
Revolving Facility shall be paid in Dollars.
	 
	12.	 	APPLICATION
	 
	 	 	All moneys received by the Lender under or pursuant to any of the Agreement and/or the
Security Documents and expressed to be applicable in accordance with the provisions of this
Clause 12 shall be held by the Lender, to be applied in the following manner:






	 	(a)	 	firstly, in or towards payment of all sums other than principal of or
interest on the Facilities which may be owing to the Lender under this Agreement and
the other Security Documents or any of them;

the each Facility;
	 
	 	(d)	 	fourthly, in or towards payment to the Lender of any amount due to it in
accordance with the provisions of Clauses 10.6 and 28 by reason of any such payment in
respect of either Facility not being effected on the last day of an Interest Period in
respect of the total amount of that Facility;
	 
	 	(e)	 	fifthly, at any time on or after the occurrence of an Event of Default in
retention of a sum equal to the total of any and all other amounts which (in the
reasonable opinion of the Lender) although not then due to the Lender under this
Agreement and the Security Documents will become so due to the Lender, such sums
thereafter to be applied by the Lender from time to time in accordance with this
clause 12; and
	 
	 	(f)	 	sixthly, the surplus (if any) shall be paid to the Borrowers or to whomsoever
else may be entitled to receive such surplus.










32









 












	13.	 	EVIDENCE OF DEBT
	 
	13.1	 	The Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice one or more Loan Accounts in
the name of the Borrowers evidencing the Indebtedness which shall be in the “account current”
referred to in the Mortgages.
	 
	13.2	 	In any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and/or
the Security Documents the entries made in the Loan Account(s) maintained pursuant to Clause
13.1 shall be conclusive evidence (save in the case of manifest error) of the existence and
amounts of the liabilities of the Borrowers therein recorded.
	 
	14.	 	PAYMENTS
	 
	14.1	 	All amounts payable under this Agreement and/or the Security Documents by the Borrowers,
including amounts payable under this Clause 14, shall be paid in full to the Lender without
set-off or counterclaim or retention and free and clear of and without any deduction or
withholding for or on account of any Taxes.
	 
	14.2	 	In the event the Borrowers are required by law to make any such deduction or withholding from
any payment hereunder then the Borrowers shall forthwith pay to the Lender such additional
amount as will result in the immediate receipt by the Lender (as the case may be) of the full
amount which would have been received hereunder had no such deduction or withholding been
made, but if the Lender shall be or become entitled to any Tax credit or relief in respect of
any Tax which is deducted from any payment by the Borrowers and if the Lender in its sole
determination actually receives a benefit from such Tax credit or relief in its country of
domicile, incorporation or residence, the Lender shall, subject to any laws or regulations
applicable thereto, pay to the Borrowers after such benefit is effectively received by the
Lender such amounts (which shall be conclusively certified by the Lender) as shall ensure that
the net amount actually retained by the Lender is equal to the amount which would have been
retained if there had been no such deduction; the Borrowers shall promptly forward to the
Lender official receipt of the relevant taxation or other authority or other evidence
acceptable to the Lender of the amount deducted or withheld as aforesaid upon receipt of same,
provided that in the event that it shall be illegal for the Borrowers to pay such additional
amount as is referred to in this Clause 14.2 then the Indebtedness shall be repayable by the
Borrowers to the Lender on demand.
	 
	14.3	 	All payments to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement and/or the Security Documents
shall be made in Dollars in immediately available and freely transferable and convertible
funds not later than 11.00 a.m. London time on the date upon which the relevant payment is due
to the Lender at such account as the Lender may from time to time nominate by written notice
to the Borrowers.
	 
	14.4	 	The Borrowers undertake to indemnify the Lender against any loss incurred by the Lender as a
result of any judgment or order being given or made for the payment of any amount due
hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed in a currency other than the currency in
which the payment was due hereunder and as a result of any variation having




33









 






	 	 	occurred in rates of exchange between the date on which the currency is converted for the
purpose of such judgment or order and the date of actual payment thereof. This indemnity
shall constitute a separate and independent liability of the Borrowers and shall continue
in force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.
	 
	15.	 	CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES
	 
	15.1	 	If:






	15.1.1	 	any law, regulation, treaty or official directive (whether or not having the force of law)
or the interpretation thereof by any authority charged with the administration thereof:






	 	(a)	 	subjects the Lender to any Tax with respect to payments of
principal of or interest on the Facilities or either of them or any other
amount payable hereunder, other than Tax on the overall net income of the

amount payable hereunder (other than a change in the rate of Tax on the
overall net income of the Lender); or
	 
	 	(c)	 	imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve and/or
special deposit requirements against or in respect of assets or liabilities
of, or deposits with or for the account of, or loans or credit extended by any

34









 






	 	 	 	then and in each such case upon demand from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to the
Lender such amount as shall compensate the Lender for such increased cost, reduction,
payment or foregone interest or other return. If the Lender is entitled to make a claim
pursuant to this Clause it shall notify the Borrowers of the event by reason of which it is
so entitled and shall submit to the Borrowers a certificate setting out details of the
event giving rise to such compensation, the amount thereof and the manner in which it has

amounts (including amounts payable referred to above and any amount payable under Clause

shall give written notice to the Lender and prepay the amount due to the Lender within
ninety (90) days of the receipt of the certificate referred to above. The Lender’s duties
and liabilities hereunder shall be cancelled on the giving of such notice.






	15.2	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if any change in law, regulation
or treaty or in the interpretation or application thereof by any authority charged with the
administration thereof shall make it unlawful for the Lender to make, fund or maintain the
Facilities or either of them or any part thereof, the Lender may by written notice thereof to
the Borrowers declare that the Lender’s duty to provide the Borrowers with the Facilities
shall be terminated forthwith whereupon the Borrowers will prepay forthwith (or if permitted
by law on the next following Interest Payment Date) the Facilities together with all interest
accrued thereon and all other amounts payable to the Lender hereunder including the amounts
due under Clause 10.7. The Lender’s duties and liabilities hereunder shall be cancelled on the
giving of such notice.
	 
	15.3	 	If any of the events referred to in Clause 15.1 or Clause 15.2 shall occur, but without
prejudice to the liability of the Borrowers to prepay the Facilities, the Borrowers and the
Lender concerned shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing terms for making the
Facilities available from another jurisdiction, or funding the Facilities from alternative
sources or otherwise restructuring the Facilities on a basis which is not unlawful.
