**Clause        53.**

|   | (a) | In                  consideration of the Commitments of the Owner, the Guarantor hereby                  unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Owner, as primary                  obligor and not as mere surety (i) the full and prompt payment                  of all                  amounts payable by the Charterer under the terms of this Charter,                  including but not limited to Charter Hire; insurance premiums and                  P&I                  calls; costs and fees, as the same shall become due and payable,                  whether                  at the stated time for payment thereof, or by acceleration upon                  a                  Charterparty Event of Default; (ii) the full and prompt payment                  of any                  indemnity for loss, claim, expense or liability that the Owner                  may suffer                  or incur by reason of or in connection with this Charter, or the                  operation, use or employment of the Vessel; and (iii) the full                  and prompt                  performance and observance by the Charterer of all obligations,                  undertakings, covenants and agreements required to be performed                  and                  observed by the Charterer under the terms of this Charter (items                  (i)                  through (iii), the “Guarantee Obligations”). |
