clauses 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 below.



|2.2.2 | The transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents shall be regarded as being Commercially Burdensome when the Lessee determines that it is no longer
compatible with the commercial strategy of the Lessee and as a consequence the Lessee has good commercial reasons for wishing to terminate the transaction, provided however that the Lessee shall not be deemed to have a good commercial reason for
terminating the transaction if primarily motivated by, or the termination is for the purposes of, the Lessee entering into any alternative financing arrangement with respect to the Ship with any other financier.

clause 18.2 or, as the case may be, clause 18.3 to treat the occurrence of such event as constituting a voluntary termination by the Lessee in accordance with this clause 2.2, whereupon the provisions of clause 2.2.6 and 2.3 shall apply.
|----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2.2.6 | On the applicable Termination Payment Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor an amount equal to the Termination Amount as at that date as determined in accordance with

Lessee fails to pay to the Lessor the applicable Termination Amount payable by the Lessee pursuant to, and determined in accordance with, clause 18.4 and all other amounts then due to the Lessor which are payable by the Lessee in each case as at the

|2.5.8 | If the Lessee is treated as having given a notice terminating the leasing of the Ship pursuant to clause 2.5.4 or 2.5.5 and the Lessee fails to pay to the Lessor the applicable
Termination Amount payable by the Lessee pursuant to, and determined in accordance with, clause 18.4 and all other amounts then due to the Lessor which are payable by the Lessee as at the applicable Lease Termination Date, the leasing of the Ship

if the Lessee does not agree with the Lessors Certificate it shall be entitled to require the Lessor to obtain promptly a written opinion from leading tax counsel (Counsel) (in accordance with the provisions of clause

of the Ship, such security to be released to the Lessee to the extent not required to meet any cost or expense on the End Date (as defined in the Financial Schedule);

requires Counsels opinion on the Lessors Certificate. Counsel shall be instructed on the basis of instructions prepared by the Lessors legal advisers in consultation with the Lessee and its legal advisers (with the intent that the
Lessee and its legal advisers shall have a reasonable opportunity to consider and contribute to such instructions). The Lessee and its legal advisers shall be entitled to attend any consultation with Counsel save that the Lessee and its professional
advisers shall withdraw from such consultation at the request of the Lessor for so long as, in the reasonable opinion of the Lessor, matters which are confidential or of a sensitive nature having regard to the business of the Lessor, or which relate
to the confidential affairs of a third party, are to be discussed during such consultation. The cost of Counsels opinion shall be for the account of the Lessee save where Counsel is of the opinion that the Lessors Certificate is
incorrect, in which case it shall be for the account of the Lessor;

|7.5 | Exclusions
|--- | ----------

The indemnities contained in clause 7.4
and clause 7.2 shall not extend to any Loss:



|7.5.1 | to the extent that such Loss is caused by Lessor Misconduct or recklessness (with full knowledge of the probable consequences) on the part of the applicable Indemnified Person (or a
third party, not being a Transaction Company acting on behalf of the Lessor or other applicable Indemnified Person) which would otherwise seek to claim the benefit of such indemnities or, in circumstances where such Loss arises in connection with a
payment owing to an Indemnified Person, if such payment was made in due time but was not accounted for by such Indemnified Person as a result of an error on their part;
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7.5.2 | to the extent that such Loss is caused by any Lessor Breach;

accordance with the Financial Schedule, in computing the amount of Rental payable by the Lessee under this Agreement;
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



42



---

|7.5.6 | to the extent that such Loss arises out of or in connection with a Lessors Security Interest;
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7.5.7 | to the extent that such Loss would be a loss of profit derived from or arising out of loss of a business opportunity of the Lessor or the applicable Indemnified Person;
|----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7.5.8 | to the extent that the event or circumstance giving rise to the Loss occurs after the end of the Lease Period and is not in any way directly or indirectly attributable to, or which
occurs as a consequence of or in connection with, any event, circumstance, action or omission which occurred during the Lease Period;
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7.5.9 | to the extent that such Loss is part of the normal administrative overheads of the Lessor or the applicable Indemnified Person; and/or

|7.5.10 | to the extent that such Loss constitutes the Purchase Price or any part thereof (excluding any Contribution Payments required pursuant to clause 3.10.2).
|------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, to the extent that the Lessor or other Indemnified Person shall have actually and unconditionally received reimbursement from insurers for
a Loss of the Lessor or any other Indemnified Person which has already been satisfied in full by the Lessee then, subject to clause 8.6, the Lessor shall procure that the Lessee is reimbursed for an amount equal to the amount received from the
insurers. In addition, in circumstances where the Lessee has indemnified the Lessor or any other Indemnified Person in full in relation to a Loss which may be recoverable by insurance then, provided no Termination Event has occurred and is
continuing, and provided the Lessor or such other Indemnified Person is (if requested by it) secured to its satisfaction (acting in good faith) against any Loss it may incur by virtue of the Lessee exercising such rights of subrogation and subject
to the rights of insurers, the Lessee shall be subrogated to the claim of the Lessor or such other Indemnified Person in relation to the Loss.



|7.6 | Conduct of Claims
|--- | -----------------

In connection with the
indemnities in favour of any Indemnified Person under this Agreement, other than in relation to any matter which is an Issue under (and as defined in) the Tax Consultation Letter:



|7.6.1 | the Lessor will as soon as practicable notify the Lessee if a claim is made, or if it becomes aware that a claim may be made against the Lessor or any other Indemnified Person which
may give rise to a Loss in respect of which the Lessor or any other Indemnified Person is or may become entitled to an indemnity under clause 7.4;
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7.6.2 | a notification under clause 7.6.1 shall give such details as the Lessor or the other Indemnified Person then has regarding the claim or potential claim and any Loss or potential
Loss;
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7.6.3 | if the claim or potential claim may give rise to a Loss in respect of which the liability of the Lessor or such other Indemnified Person is fully insured under the protection and
indemnity insurances relating to the Ship, the Lessor will act, and will procure that any other Indemnified Person will act, in accordance with the directions of the protection and indemnity club or association in which the Ship is entered in
relation to defending, accepting or settling that claim, preserving nevertheless the rights of the Lessor against the Lessee under this Agreement and the other Lease Documents;
|----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



43



---

|7.6.4 | subject to clause 7.6.1 the Lessor will not, and will procure that no other Indemnified Person will, settle any claim or discharge and pay any court judgment or administrative
penalty in respect of any claim unless:
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (a) | the Lessor is of the opinion, acting in good faith, that the continuance of the proceedings in respect of such claim and/or the non-payment of any court judgment or administrative
penalty will result in criminal liability for, or the imposition of a civil penalty on, or the attachment of any assets of the Lessor or any other Indemnified Person; or
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | the Lessor and the Lessee do not agree that there are reasonable grounds for disputing such claim or for a successful appeal against such judgment or penalty (as appropriate),
whereupon the Lessee shall have the right (subject always to paragraph (a) above) to seek an opinion from leading counsel as to whether there is more than a sixty-five per cent (65%) chance of successfully disputing such claim or for such
an appeal to be successful (and if such leading counsel is of that opinion, any costs reasonably incurred by the Lessee in obtaining such opinion shall be reimbursed by the Lessor and the Lessor will not settle the claim or discharge or pay the
applicable judgment) provided however that if leading counsel is of the opinion that there is a less than sixty-five per cent (65%) chance of successfully disputing the action or for such an appeal to be successful, then the Lessor shall be
entitled to settle the claim or discharge or pay the court judgment or administrative penalty, as the case may be.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is
agreed that if any insurers have made a partial payment in respect of any claim the Lessor shall have no responsibility to the Lessee if the insurers subsequently settle a claim in exercise of their rights of subrogation. The Lessor shall agree not
to settle any claim or discharge and pay any court judgment or administrative penalty in respect of any claim, if it is secured to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lessee against the amount of such claim, court judgment or administrative penalty
and the Lessor is satisfied (in its absolute discretion) that none of the circumstances envisaged in clause 7.6.5(e) below shall apply or arise if the Lessor does not settle the claim or discharge or pay any judgment or penalty in respect thereof;



|7.6.5 | Without prejudice to the provisions of this clause 7.6, the Lessee shall be entitled (subject to the Lessee complying in all respects with its obligations under this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party) to take (at its own cost) such lawful and proper actions as the Lessee reasonably deems fit to defend, avoid or mitigate any Loss or to take such action in the name of the Lessor or other
relevant Indemnified Person, provided that the Lessees ability to take action in the name of the Lessor or such other Indemnified Person shall be subject to:
|----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (a) | the Lessor or such other Indemnified Person first being indemnified and secured to the satisfaction of the Lessor (or, as the case may be, such Indemnified Person), acting
reasonably, against all Losses incurred and from time to time reasonably anticipated to be incurred in connection therewith;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | the ability of the Lessee to commence court proceedings in the name of the Lessor or such other Indemnified Person, or to instigate a counterclaim in the name of
the
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



44



---

| | Lessor or such other Indemnified Person (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, to defend court proceedings brought by a third party which do not involve a
counterclaim) being subject to the prior written consent of the Lessor (which consent the Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold but in relation to which the Lessee acknowledges the wish and interest of the Lessor and the Lessors Group to
preserve their reputation as a financial institution, their business interests and their customer relations);
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | if court proceedings have been commenced by a third party against the Lessor or such other Indemnified Person as defendant or if, pursuant to sub-clause (b) above, the Lessor
gives its consent to the use of its name or the name of the relevant Indemnified Person in court proceedings (whether by way of claim or counterclaim), the Lessor shall permit the Lessee to have the full conduct of the court proceedings, or to
instigate a counterclaim in the name of the Lessor or such other Indemnified Person, but the Lessee shall (i) consult with the Lessor and keep the Lessor fully informed in relation to their conduct and have due regard to the wishes of the
Lessor in relation to the conduct of such court proceedings acknowledging the interest of the Lessor and each Lessors Group Member in preserving the reputations of the Lessor and each Lessors Group Member as financial institutions and
their respective business interests and customer relations and (ii) give timely notice to the Lessor of any meetings with counsel or attendances at court, and the Lessor and its advisers shall be entitled to attend any such meetings or court
attendances;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | in relation to all other matters contemplated by this clause 7.6, the Lessee shall keep the Lessor fully informed and have due regard to the wishes of the Lessor in relation to the
use of the Lessors name or the name of any other Indemnified Person acknowledging the interest of the Lessor and each Lessors Group Member in preserving the reputation of the Lessor and each Lessors Group Member as financial
institutions and their respective business interests and customer relations; and
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (e) | notwithstanding sub-paragraph (c) above, the Lessor at any time may notify the Lessee that the Lessor is of the opinion, acting in good faith, that the continuance of such
proceedings by the Lessee in the name of the Lessor or the name of any other Indemnified Person is damaging to the reputation of the Lessor or any Lessor Group Member as financial institutions or contrary to the business interests of any of them or
will result in any criminal liability for, or the imposition of a civil penalty on, or the attachment of any assets of the Lessor or any other Indemnified Person. A certificate signed by a director of the Lessor shall be conclusive as to the
correctness of such opinion. If the Lessor so notifies the Lessee, the Lessee shall forthwith cease to be entitled to conduct the court proceedings in the name of the Lessor or the name of any other Indemnified Person, and the Lessor shall be at
liberty to conduct, settle or discontinue such proceedings as it sees fit.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Without prejudice to the generality of this clause
7.6 and in particular sub-paragraph (e), the Lessor shall, at the cost of the Lessee, do such acts as the Lessee may reasonably request with a view to assisting the Lessee in taking actions to defend, mitigate or avoid any liability.

|7.7 | Pass-through of indemnity benefits
|--- | ----------------------------------

Where in this
clause 7 an indemnity is expressed to be for the benefit of any person who is not a party to this Agreement the Lessor shall be entitled to indemnify such person on the same terms (and subject in particular to clause 7.6) mutatis mutandis as the
indemnities expressed to be for the benefit of such person in this clause 7 and the Lessee shall indemnify the Lessor and hold the Lessor harmless on a full indemnity basis from and against each amount paid or payable by the Lessor to such person
under any such indemnity, provided that to the extent this clause 7 purports to impose any obligations on Indemnified Persons other than the Lessor, the Lessor shall have procured the compliance by each such Indemnified Person with those purported
obligations.



|7.8 | Survival of indemnities
|--- | -----------------------

The indemnities contained

|8.2.2 | if the payment is to be made by the Lessee, the sum due from the Lessee in respect of that payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of

|8.2.3 | if the payment is to be made by any person other than the Lessee, the Lessee shall pay directly to the Lessor such sum (a compensating sum) as after taking into
account any deduction or withholding which is required to be made in respect of the compensating sum, will enable the Lessor or the applicable Lessor Group Member to receive, on the due date for payment, a net sum equal to the sum which the Lessor
or, as the case may be, the appropriate Lessor Group Member would have received in the absence of any obligation to make a deduction or withholding.

In relation to the UK tonnage tax

|8.4 | Grossing-up of indemnity payments
|--- | ---------------------------------



|8.4.1 | If and to the extent that any amount payable to the Lessor or any Lessor Group Member by or on behalf of the Lessee under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents by
way of indemnity proves, by reason of that sum being taxable in the hands of the Lessor or, as the case may be, any Lessor Group Member, to be insufficient for the Lessor to discharge the corresponding liability to a third party or to reimburse the
Lessor or such Lessor Group Member for the cost incurred by it in discharging the corresponding liability to a third party, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor or the applicable Lessor Group Member such additional amount as, after taking into account
any Tax suffered by the Lessor in respect of that sum, is required to make up the insufficiency.
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.4.2 | There shall be taken into account, in determining whether any amount referred to in clause 8.4.1 is insufficient, the amount of any deduction or other relief, allowance or credit
received by the Lessor in respect of the Lessors corresponding liability to a third party or the cost incurred by the Lessor in discharging the corresponding liability to a third party to the extent that the Lessor determines that such
deduction or other relief, allowance or credit confers a genuine benefit on the Lessor.
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.4.3 | If and to the extent that any amount (the indemnity amount) constituting (directly or indirectly) an indemnity by the Lessee to the Lessor, but paid by the Lessee
under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to any person other than the Lessor, shall be treated as taxable in the hands of the Lessor the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor such amount (the compensating amount) as
(after taking into account any Tax suffered by the Lessor in respect of the compensating amount) shall reimburse the Lessor for any Tax suffered by it in respect of the indemnity amount.
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



47



---

|8.4.4 | There shall be taken into account in determining the amount of any compensating amount under clause 8.4.3 the amount and time of payment of any deduction or other relief, allowance
or credit available to the Lessor in respect of the Lessors corresponding liability or Losses in respect of which the indemnity amount is paid to the extent that the Lessor determines that such deduction or other relief, allowance or credit
confers a genuine benefit on the Lessor.
|----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.4.5 | To the extent that liability arises under clause 8.4.1 which may lawfully be avoided by the Lessee discharging the Lessors liability directly, then the parties shall endeavour
to settle their respective liabilities in this manner.
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.5 | Credits etc.
|--- | ------------

If following the making of any
increased payment or compensating sum or compensating amount by the Lessee pursuant to clauses 8.2 or 8.4 the Lessor receives or is granted a credit against, remission for or repayment of any Tax payable by it which is referable to such deduction or
withholding or increased payment made by the Lessee and which has not already been taken into account pursuant to clause 8.4.2 or 8.4.4, the Lessor shall:



|8.5.1 | give to the Lessee a certificate setting out the basis of the computation of the amount of any credit, remission or repayment referred to in this clause 8.5; and
|----- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.5.2 | to the extent that it is satisfied that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of such credit, remission or repayment, promptly reimburse the Lessee with such amount as the
Lessor shall determine to be such proportion of such credit, remission or repayment as will leave the Lessor, after such reimbursement, in the same net after Tax position as it would have been in had no such deduction or withholding been required to
be made,
|----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Provided that:



| | (a) | the Lessor shall be the sole judge (acting in good faith) of the amount of any such credit, remission or repayment and of the date on which it is received;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | the order and manner in which the Lessor employs or claims Tax credits and allowances available to it shall be determined by the Lessor in its discretion provided always that the
Lessor shall, in determining the order in which it employs or uses Tax Credits or allowances available to it, treat the Lessee in no less favourable a way than it treats its other customers in respect of similar transactions of a similar size;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | the Lessor shall not be obliged to disclose to the Lessee any information regarding the Tax affairs or Tax computations of the Lessor or the Lessors Group; and
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | if, following any reimbursement pursuant to this clause 8.5, the credit, remission or repayment in respect of which reimbursement was made is disallowed in whole or in part by any
applicable Tax or other authority, the Lessee will pay to the Lessor the amount required to restore the after-Tax position of the Lessor to that which it would have been had adjustment under this clause 8.5.2 not been necessary.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This clause 8.5 applies also to the extent that any credit, remission or repayment is granted to a Lessor Group Member and
the Lessor will procure that such Lessor Group Member complies with the obligations of the Lessor, with appropriate modifications, under this clause 8.5.

|8.6 | Duties and other taxes
|--- | ----------------------

The Lessee shall pay all
stamp, documentary, registration and other like duties or Taxes (including any such duties or Taxes payable by the Lessor) imposed on or in connection with this Agreement, the Novation Agreement, the Supervision Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and shall indemnify the Lessor against any liability arising by reason of any delay or omission by the Lessee to pay such duties or Taxes.



|8.7 | Non-deductibility
|--- | -----------------

If any amount paid or to be paid
by the Lessor pursuant to this Agreement by way of rebate of Rental or reimbursement or otherwise is not fully allowed or will not be fully allowed as a deductible trading expense in computing for Tax purposes the chargeable profits of the Lessor
(to the extent that the Lessor shall determine in good faith that the receipt by the Lessor out of which the obligation to make the relevant rebate reimbursement or other payment arises or arose is or will be brought into charge for computing for
Tax purposes the chargeable profits of the Lessor) the Lessor shall be entitled to reduce the payment by such amount or, if the Lessor has not done so, the Lessee will pay to the Lessor such additional amount as will put the Lessor in the same
after-Tax position as it would have been in had the payment been allowed as a deductible trading expense.



|8.8 | Deductibility
|--- | -------------

If a payment is made by the Lessee
or the Lessor has reduced the amount of a rebate or reimbursement made by it pursuant to clause 8.7 and the Lessor in fact obtains a deduction for the whole or part of the rebate or reimbursement the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee such additional
amount as the Auditors certify will leave the Lessor in the same after-Tax position had the payment pursuant to clause 8.7 not been necessary.



|8.9 | No double-counting
|--- | ------------------

Notwithstanding the preceding
provisions of this clause 8, if:



|8.9.1 | either a liability to Tax arises, or would have arisen but for an insufficiency of taxable profits, or a deduction for Tax purposes is not available to the Lessor, or an event
giving rise to such a liability or non-deduction occurs (which would not have been, or given rise to, such a liability or non-deduction had all of the Assumptions proved to be correct) by reason of which the Lessee is (or would, but for this clause
8.9, be) liable to make a payment under the provisions of this clause 8; and
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8.9.2 | in consequence of any of the Assumptions proving not to be correct any amount of Rental payable under this Agreement or the amount of the Termination Sum or both is or are adjusted
upwards or would be so adjusted but for the provisions of paragraph 4.6 of the Financial Schedule,
|----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Lessee shall not be
liable to make any payments to the Lessor or otherwise in respect of Taxes under this clause 8.



|8.10 | Exclusion from tax indemnities
|---- | ------------------------------

The Lessee is not
obliged to indemnify the Lessor or any Lessor Group Member under clause 8.1 against:



|8.10.1 | any Tax liability to the extent that such liability is imposed by way of deduction or withholding from any payment due from the Lessee under this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents to the Lessor or any Lessor Group Member in circumstances where clause 8.2 applies (in which case the liability of the Lessee to pay such Tax liability shall be governed by that clause);

amount under clause 8.4 or an amount under clause 8.7; or

constitutes the whole or any part of the consideration for a taxable or deemed taxable supply, the amount of that payment shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount of VAT which is chargeable in respect of the taxable supply in question
against delivery of an appropriate VAT invoice provided that the Lessor shall not be liable to pay an amount in respect of VAT until such time as, and to the extent that it (or any member of its VAT group which is the representative member (or

recoverable and to the extent that no adjustment has been made in the calculation of such Irrecoverable VAT pursuant to the proviso in the definition of Irrecoverable VAT, the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee such amount, if any, as the

aggregate of any VAT which is payable in respect of that supply and has not been the subject of bad debt relief together with interest on an amount equal to any VAT payable in respect of the supply at LIBOR ascertained in respect of the date on

recovered by the Lessor or the Representative Member which is attributable to VAT in respect of which the Lessee has made a payment under this clause 8.11.3 the Lessor shall, or shall procure that the Representative Member shall, pay an amount equal
to such recovery to the Lessee to the extent such payment will not prejudice the retention of such VAT bad debt relief.

Lessee shall consult in good faith with the other party as to the requirement to make such disclosure and the terms on which such disclosure shall be made provided that notwithstanding such requirements to consult, any decision as to whether a
disclosure is required to be made and the terms of that disclosure shall be made by the person wishing to make the disclosure acting in good faith.

insurances.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The requirements of this clause 9.3.6 shall be deemed satisfied if the Ship is held covered under a relevant

|9.4 | Provision of information in respect of the Ships employment and trade
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



|9.4.1 | The Lessee shall procure that the Lessor is advised in writing if the Ships trading pattern would or may result in a liability being imposed in the United States of America on
the Lessor for US Transportation Tax, or any equivalent future Tax notwithstanding that, in such circumstances, it shall in such case be the responsibility of the Lessee to attend to all administrative matters relating thereto and to indemnify the
Lessor for any such Tax liability.

| | --- | -------------------------

provided that (in the case of
information relating to, and copies of contracts for the chartering or hire of the Ship other than the Time Charter) the Lessee is able to procure that such information is provided or such copies are provided, in each case without breaching any
confidentiality covenants on the part of any Guarantor Group Member under such contracts and, if the provision of this information or copies of the applicable charter contracts would, in the opinion of the Lessee (acting reasonably) cause such
covenants to be breached, the Lessee delivers to the Lessor an opinion from the Lessees English counsel setting out the reasons why (in the reasonable opinion of the Lessees English



55



---

counsel) the terms of the proposed charter or sub-charter will not cause the Lessee to be in breach of the covenant in clause 9.2, provided always that if
the Lessor is required by its Tax Authority to disclose any such charter or sub-charter the Lessee shall procure in so far as possible that the applicable Guarantor Group Member obtains the consent of its counterparty to such contract for a copy of
the contract to be provided to the Lessors Tax Authority.

|10.5 | Modifications
|---- | -------------

The Lessee shall procure that no
modification is made to the Ship which would:

liens (other than Permitted Security Interests) on, or claims enforceable against, the Ship or the Insurances or any part thereof. If at any time during the Lease Period any writ or equivalent claim or pleading in admiralty is filed against the Ship
or the Insurances or any part thereof, or the Ship or the Insurances or any part thereof is arrested or detained or attached or levied upon pursuant to legal process or purported legal process or in the event of the detention of the Ship in the
exercise or the purported exercise of any such lien or claim as aforesaid (other than by reason of a Compulsory Acquisition or by reason of a Lessors Security Interest), the Lessee shall procure the release of the Ship and the Insurances from
such arrest, detention, attachment or levy or, as the case may be, the discharge of the writ or equivalent claim or pleading in admiralty as soon as reasonably



57

The Lessee shall

|10.10 | Ships Software

The Lessee shall obtain and
maintain and procure that there are obtained and maintained for the benefit of the Lessor, the Lessee, and the Time Charterer and any other person hiring or chartering or operating the Ship from time to time all licences and permits (without

are renewed prior to any such expiry).



|10.11 | Manager
|----- | -------

The Lessee shall procure that no manager
of the Ship is appointed which is not an Approved Manager. For the avoidance of doubt this shall not be construed as a prohibition on the appointment of sub-contractors by the Approved Manager, providing that the Approved Manager remains responsible
for management of the Ship.



|10.12 | Safe operation
|----- | --------------

The Lessee shall take all steps
necessary so as to ensure that the Ship should be navigated and operated in a proper, safe and seaman-like manner and in the manner prescribed by any legislation, including Environmental Laws, in force in the state of registration for the time being

Save for periods when the Ship is in
dry-dock, the Lessee shall procure that the Ship should at all times be fit to go to sea without serious danger to human life (by reason of the condition, or the unsuitability for its purpose, of either the Ship or its machinery or equipment or any
part of the Ship or its machinery or equipment or undermanning or overloading or unsafe or improper loading or any other matter relevant to the safety of the Ship).



58



---

|10.14 | Inspection
|----- | ----------

The Lessee shall ensure that the
Lessor, its surveyors or other persons appointed by it will be permitted to inspect the Ship, upon reasonable notice and without interfering with the Ships operation. Such inspections shall be without cost to the Lessee unless either such
inspection reveals that the requirements of this clause 10 are not then being complied with in all material respects or it is made after the occurrence of a Termination Event that is continuing, in which case it shall be at the cost of the Lessee.



|10.15 | Ship-related expenses
|----- | ---------------------

The Lessee shall procure
that, in relation to the operation of the Ship, at no time is the Lessors credit pledged to pay for any costs of maintenance, repair, operation or use of the Ship or in relation to any of the other matters listed below and the Lessee shall pay
or procure that there is paid within any applicable grace or credit period all costs, charges and expenses arising during or in respect of the Lease Period, from the purchase, exportation, importation, registration, ownership, chartering,
sub-chartering, possession, control, use, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, refurbishment, overhaul, insurance, storage, redelivery, dry-docking or disposal of the Ship or any modification to or any change or alteration in the Ship and

|------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|10.15.3 | to the extent that such items are already the subject of indemnification, either under clause 7 or under the Financial Schedule.
|------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While the Lessees liability to pay ultimately the amount due in respect of any such costs, charges or expenses is not diminished, the Lessee may
delay or refrain from paying any such costs, charges or expenses while it is contesting them in good faith by appropriate steps and provided that adequate reserves have been made to meet such liability in case the Lessees contest ceases or is
unsuccessful, for whatever reason and provided that such delay or withholding does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Lessor, carry with it any material risk of arrest, forced sale, loss, confiscation or forfeiture of the Ship or any interest
therein.

The Lessee will also not hold out the Lessor as being involved in the operation of the Ship.

If a claim is made against the Lessor for payment of any amounts referred to in this clause 10.15, the Lessee shall produce to the Lessor such evidence as
it shall reasonably require of the due payment of any sums referred to in this clause.

Schedule 3

Part A - Form of Lessor Parent Support Letter (Lessee)

[On Bank of Scotland plc notepaper]



|To: | [Lessee]
|--- | --------

2007

Dear Sir/Madam,

[] Limited
(the Subsidiary)

UK Finance Lease for Samsung Hull no. [] (the Ship)

We refer to the Lease of even date herewith between the Subsidiary and yourselves (the Lessee) relating to the Ship (the
Lease). Terms defined in the Lease shall have the same meanings when used in this letter.

We confirm that the Subsidiary is a wholly
owned UK subsidiary of Bank of Scotland plc and that we are aware of the Subsidiarys current obligations and liabilities to the Lessee under the Transaction Documents.

In consideration of the Lessee agreeing to lease the Ship from the Subsidiary we confirm that throughout the term of the Transaction Documents we will ensure that the Subsidiary is able to and will perform its
obligations and discharge its liabilities to the Lessee arising from the Transaction Documents.

If, at a time whilst the Subsidiary continues to have any
obligations or liabilities to the Lessee under the Transaction Documents, shares in the Subsidiary or any intermediate shareholding company are intended to be transferred (whether by ourselves or any intermediate holding company) so that the
Subsidiary will cease to be a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Bank of Scotland plc, we will give notice of such intended transfer to the Lessee and, if the Lessee so requests in writing within 20 Business Days after receipt of such
notice, we will, prior to such transfer of shares, procure that the rights, interests and obligations of the Subsidiary under the Transaction Documents are transferred to another company (Transferee) which is itself a wholly-owned
direct or indirect Subsidiary of Bank of Scotland plc.

The provisions of this letter shall apply to a Transferee as if references to the
Subsidiary in this letter were references to such Transferee.

Any transfer of the rights, interests and obligations pursuant to this letter
shall be effected at no cost to the Lessee and so as to ensure that the Lessee shall be under no greater liability nor receive any lesser benefit, financial or otherwise, under the Transaction Documents to which the Subsidiary is party as a result
of such transfer than would have been the case had no such transfer taken place.

Without prejudice to or limitation of our other statements and
undertakings in this letter, and our contractual obligations and liabilities in respect of the foregoing, nothing in this letter shall constitute, or shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the Subsidiarys obligations under the
Transaction Documents.



108



---

This letter is intended to create legal relations between us and will be governed by and construed in accordance with
English law.

No term of this letter is enforceable under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by a person who is not party to this Letter.

The Letter is confidential and shall not be disclosed to any party save as permitted by clause 26 of the Lease.

Yours faithfully



|

intermediate holding company) so that the Subsidiary will cease to be a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Bank of Scotland plc, we will give notice of such intended transfer to the Builder and, if the Builder so requests in writing
within 20 Business Days after receipt of such notice, we will, prior to such transfer of shares, procure that the rights, interests and obligations of the Subsidiary under the Contract are transferred to another company
(Transferee) which is itself a wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of Bank of Scotland plc.

The provisions of this letter shall
apply to a Transferee as if references to the Subsidiary in this letter were references to such Transferee.

Any transfer of the rights,
interests and obligations pursuant to this letter shall be effected at no cost to the Builder and so as to ensure that the Builder shall be under no greater liability nor receive any lesser benefit, financial or otherwise, under the Contract to
which the Subsidiary is party as a result of such transfer than would have been the case had no such transfer taken place.

Nothing in this letter shall
constitute, or shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the Subsidiarys obligations under the Contract.
