WHEREAS:





	(A)	 	By a loan agreement dated 20 April 2004 as amended and supplemented by a first supplemental
deed dated as of 30 September 2005 (the “Original Loan Agreement”) entered into between the
Borrower as borrower, the Lenders as lenders, the Agent as agent for (among others) the
Lenders, the Hermes Agent as agent for (among others) the Lenders and the Trustee as trustee
for (among others) the Lenders, the Lenders granted to the Borrower a secured loan in the

(USD334,050,000) (the “Loan”) for the purpose of enabling the Borrower to finance (among other
things) the construction of the Vessel (as such term is defined in the Original Loan
Agreement) on the terms and conditions therein contained. The repayment of the Loan by the

	(B)	 	The Guarantor has requested the consent of the Lenders, the Agent, the Hermes Agent and the
Trustee to the amendment of certain of the provisions of the Original Loan Agreement which
relate to an election by the Borrower for a Fixed Rate.
	 
	(C)	 	This Deed shall be executed as a deed.





NOW THIS DEED WITNESSES as follows:





	1	 	Definitions and Construction






	 	1.1	 	In this Deed including the preamble and recitals hereto (unless the context
otherwise requires) any term or expression defined in the preamble or the recitals

herein but whose meanings are defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the meanings set
out therein except that terms and expressions used in Clause 2.2 and not defined herein
but whose meanings are defined in the Debenture (as




 









 






	 	 	 	amended by this Deed) shall have the meanings set out therein. In addition, the
following term and expression shall have the meaning set out below:
	 
	 	 	 	“Loan Agreement” means the Original Loan Agreement as amended by this Deed.
	 
	 	1.2	 	The provisions of Clauses 1.2 and 1.3 of the Loan Agreement shall apply hereto
(mutatis mutandis).






	2	 	Amendment of Original Loan Agreement and Security Documents






	 	2.1	 	Subject to Clause 4, the parties hereto agree that from the date of this Deed
the Original Loan Agreement shall be read and construed as if:






	 	2.1.1	 	clause 5.3.2 had been deleted and substituted with the following:






	 	“5.3.2	 	Subject to the consent of Hermes and of each of the Lenders remaining
in full force and effect on the date of the Election Notice (as
hereinafter defined), the Borrower may, if no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and no Total Loss has occurred, at any time
prior to 29 September 2006, elect to convert the basis upon which
interest is calculated hereunder by giving notice (an “Election
Notice”) to the Agent not less than fifteen (15) Business Days (or such
shorter time as the parties may agree) before the date on which the
Interest Exchange Arrangements are to be entered into (the “Election
Date”) to request that with effect from a date on or prior to 29
September 2006 (the “Conversion Date”) the rate of interest applicable
to the Loan then outstanding shall be the Fixed Rate.”; and






	 	2.1.2	 	the second paragraph of clause 5.6 had been deleted and
substituted with the following:
	 
	 	 	 	“If it is necessary for the Lenders to break deposits or re-employ funds
taken or borrowed to make or maintain such Lender’s Contribution to the
Portions in order for Conversion to take place on the Conversion Date, the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders interest
accrued to but excluding the Conversion Date together with such amount as
the Agent may certify to be necessary to compensate a Lender for any losses
incurred as a consequence of the Pre-Delivery Interest Period(s) in respect
of the Portions or the Interest Period in respect of the Loan (as the case
may be) being prematurely terminated in order to allow Conversion to occur
on the Conversion Date including, without limitation, any loss (including
the cost of breaking deposits (including warehousing and other related
costs)) or expense (including warehousing and other related costs) on
account of funds borrowed, contracted for or utilised to fund such Lender’s
Contribution to the Loan.”.






	 	2.2	 	The parties hereto agree that from the date of this Deed the Debenture shall be
read and construed as if:






	 	2.2.1	 	the definition of “Outstanding Indebtedness” in clause 1.2
thereof had been deleted and substituted with the following:




2









 






	 	 	 	““Outstanding Indebtedness” means all sums of any kind arising at any time
for any reason payable actually or contingently by the Obligors to any of
the Beneficiaries under or pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the other

repayment of principal, payment of interest or default interest, payment
upon any indemnity or counter-indemnity, reimbursement for costs or
otherwise howsoever);”; and
	 
	 	2.2.2	 	the first paragraph of clause 3.1 thereof had been deleted and
substituted with the following:






	 	“3.1	 	As continuing security for all obligations
whatsoever of the Company, actual or contingent, present and future and
whether of payment or performance under or pursuant to the Loan
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Obligors are
a party, the Company with full title guarantee hereby:”;

continuing security for all obligations whatsoever of the Borrower, actual or
contingent, present and future and whether of payment or performance under or
pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the
Obligors are a party the Borrower with full title guarantee hereby:






	 	(a)	 	conveys, transfers and assigns absolutely to and unto the
Trustee all rights of the Borrower in and to the Current Receivables by way of
fixed security;
	 
	 	(b)	 	mortgages, charges and assigns, and agrees to mortgage, charge
and assign to the Trustee all present and future rights of the Borrower in and
to all freehold or leasehold property of the Borrower and all other estates or
interests therein together with all trade fixtures and fixed plant and
machinery now and for the time being thereon, by way of a fixed charge;
	 
	 	(c)	 	mortgages, charges and assigns, and agrees to mortgage, charge
and assign, to the Trustee all rights now owned or hereafter acquired in and to
the goodwill, franchises, patent rights, copyrights, trademarks and other

	 	(d)	 	mortgages, charges and assigns, and agrees to mortgage, charge
and assign, to the Trustee all rights relating to the aforesaid property
specified in Clauses 2.2.2(b) and (c) including, inter alia, negotiable
instruments, legal and equitable charges, reservations of property rights,
rights of action, collection, recovery or security, rights of tracing and
unpaid vendor’s liens and similar and associated rights, by way of first fixed
legal mortgage and charge; and
	 
	 	(e)	 	mortgages and charges in favour of the Trustee all rights of
the Borrower now owned or hereafter acquired in and to all other assets for the
time being of the Borrower not subject to the fixed securities created by
Clauses 2.2.2(a), (b), (c) and (d) wheresoever situate (including, inter alia,
all undertakings and businesses of the Borrower) by way of first floating
charge and the Borrower shall not be at liberty to create any other mortgage or
charge on any of the securities created by this Clause 2.2.2(e)




3









 






	 	 	 	and no lien shall in any case or in any manner arise on or affect any part
of the said securities in priority to or pari passu with all charges hereby
created, it being the intention that the Borrower shall have no power,
without the written consent of the Agent, to part with or dispose of any
part of the said securities except by way of sale in the ordinary course of
its business;






	 	 	 	PROVIDED THAT upon the unconditional payment and satisfaction of the Outstanding
Indebtedness the rights of the Trustee under this Clause 2.2 will terminate and the
Trustee will at the direction, cost and expense of the Borrower release or reassign
to the Borrower all remaining rights of the Trustee in and to the balance of the
Security Assets.
	 
	 	2.3	 	Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor hereby confirms to the Lenders, the
Agent, the Hermes Agent and the Trustee that with effect from the date of this Deed:






	 	2.3.1	 	all references to the Original Loan Agreement in the Security
Documents to which it is a party shall be construed as references to the Loan
Agreement and all terms used in such Security Documents whose meanings are
defined by reference to the Original Loan Agreement shall be defined by
reference to the Loan Agreement;
	 
	 	2.3.2	 	the Security Documents to which it is a party shall continue
to apply to, and extend to secure, the whole of the Outstanding Indebtedness;
	 
	 	2.3.3	 	its obligations under the Security Documents to which it is a
party shall not be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by reason of the
execution of this Deed or of any of the documents or transactions contemplated
hereby; and
	 
	 	2.3.4	 	its obligations under the Security Documents to which it is a
party shall remain in full force and effect as security for the obligations of
the Borrower under the Loan Agreement and the other Security Documents as
amended by this Deed.






	 	2.4	 	Except as expressly amended hereby or pursuant hereto the Original Loan
Agreement and the Security Documents shall remain in full force and effect and nothing
herein contained shall relieve the Borrower or any other Obligor from any of its
respective obligations under any such documents.

settle Disputes and accordingly no party will argue to the contrary.

Clause (including a failure by it to notify the Borrower or the Guarantor (as the case

	 	11.5	 	Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor appoints in the case of the courts of
England the Process Agent to receive, for and on its behalf service of process in
England of any legal proceedings with respect to this Deed.
	 
	 	11.6	 	A judgment relating to this Deed which is given or would be enforced by an

within fourteen (14) days of the date of this Deed (or such other period as the Agent
may stipulate) and the amendment of the Original Loan Agreement and the Original
Guarantee as aforesaid shall not be construed as a waiver of the Agent’s right to
receive the documents or evidence as aforesaid nor shall this provision impose on the
Agent, the Hermes Agent, the Trustee or the Lenders any obligation to permit the
amendment in the absence of such documents or evidence.

assets pursuant to the provisions of any such agreement or document and in
particular but without prejudice to the foregoing the entry into and
performance of this Deed and the transactions contemplated hereby and

misleading; and
	 
	 	4.1.6	 	it has fully disclosed in writing to the Agent all facts

demand on a full indemnity basis for the reasonable charges and expenses (together with

	 	 	 	agrees that the courts of England are the most appropriate and convenient courts to
settle Disputes and accordingly no party will argue to the contrary.
	 
	 	 	 	This Clause 10.1 is for the benefit of the Agent, the Hermes Agent and the Trustee
only. As a result, no such party shall be prevented from taking proceedings
relating to a Dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed

Clause (including a failure by it to notify the Borrower or the Guarantor (as the case
may be) of the service of any process or to forward any process to the Borrower or the
Guarantor (as the case may be)) shall invalidate any proceedings or judgment.
	 
	 	10.5	 	Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor appoints in the case of the courts of
England the Process Agent to receive, for and on its behalf service of process in
England of any legal proceedings with respect to this Deed.
	 
	 	10.6	 	A judgment relating to this Deed which is given or would be enforced by an
English court shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and/or the Guarantor (as

international convention or otherwise) with regard to the bringing of proceedings, the

related matter in any jurisdiction.
