(3) months from the commencement of the Interest Period and the subsequent instalments at intervals of three (3) months thereof or, if shorter, the period from the date of the preceding instalment until the Interest Payment Date relative
to such Interest Period) at the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be the aggregate of (a) the Margin and (b) LIBOR for such Interest Period. 
  

	3.2	Selection of Interest Periods 

 The Borrower may by notice received by the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the third Banking Day before the beginning of each Interest Period specify whether such Interest Period shall have a duration

 Every Interest Period shall be of the duration required by, or specified by the Borrower pursuant to, clause 3.2 but so that: 

 

	3.3.1	the first Interest Period shall commence on the Drawdown Date and each subsequent Interest Period shall commence on the last day of the previous Interest Period;


  

	3.3.2	if any Interest Period would otherwise overrun a Repayment Date, then, in the case of the last Repayment Date such Interest Period shall end on such Repayment Date, and
in the case of any other Repayment Date or Repayment Dates the Loan shall be divided into parts so that there is one part in the amount of the repayment instalment or instalments due on each Repayment Date falling during that Interest Period and
having an Interest Period ending on the relevant Repayment Date and another part in the amount of the balance of the Loan having an Interest Period ascertained in accordance with clause 3.2 and the other provisions of this clause 3.3; and


  

	3.3.3	if the Borrower fails to specify the duration of an Interest Period in accordance with the provisions of clause 3.2 and this clause 3.3 such Interest Period shall have
a duration of three (3) months or such other period as shall comply with this clause 3.3. 

  

	3.4	Default interest 

 If the
Borrower fails to pay any sum (including, without limitation, any sum payable pursuant to this clause 3.4) on its due date for payment under any of the Security Documents, the Borrower shall pay interest on such sum on demand from the due date up to
the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at a rate determined by the Agent pursuant to this clause 3.4. The period beginning on such due date and ending on such date of payment shall be divided into successive periods of not
more than three (3) months as selected by the Agent, each of which (other than the first, which shall commence on such due date) shall commence on the last day of the preceding such period. The rate of interest applicable to each such period
shall be the aggregate (as determined by the Agent) of (a) two per cent (2%) per annum, (b) the Margin and (c) LIBOR for such period. Such interest shall be due and payable on the last day of each such period as determined by the
Agent and each such day shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be treated as an Interest Payment Date, provided that if such unpaid sum is an amount of principal which became due and payable by reason of a declaration by the Agent under clause
10.2.2 or a prepayment pursuant to clauses 4.3, 8.2.1(a) or 12.1, on a date other than an Interest Payment Date relating thereto, the first such period selected by the Agent shall be of a duration equal to the period between the due date of such
principal sum and such Interest Payment Date and interest shall be payable on such principal sum during such period at a rate of two per cent (2%) above the rate applicable thereto immediately before it shall have become so due and payable. If,
for the reasons specified in clause 3.6.1, the Agent is unable to determine a rate in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause 3.4, each Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of the cost of funds to such Bank and interest on any sum
not paid on its due date for payment shall be calculated at a rate determined by the Agent to be two per cent (2%) per annum above the aggregate of the Margin and the cost of funds to such Bank. 

 

	3.5	Notification of Interest Periods and interest rate 

 The Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks promptly of the duration of each Interest Period and of each rate of interest (or, as the case may be default interest) determined by it under this clause
3. 
  

	3.6	Market disruption; non-availability 

  

	3.6.1	If and whenever, at any time prior to the commencement of any Interest Period: 


 

	 	(a)	the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive) that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining
LIBOR during such Interest Period; or 


  
 15 










	 	(b)	 the Agent shall have received notification from Banks whose aggregate Contributions are not less than one-third (1/3rd) of the Loan or (prior to the Drawdown Date whose aggregate
Commitments are not less than one-third (1/3rd) of
the Total Commitment), that deposits in Dollars are not available to such Banks in the London Interbank Market in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to fund the Loan or their Contributions for such Interest Period,



 the Agent shall forthwith give notice (a “Determination Notice”) thereof to the Borrower
and to each of the Banks. A Determination Notice shall contain particulars of the relevant circumstances giving rise to its issue. After the giving of any Determination Notice the undrawn amount of the Total Commitment shall not be borrowed until
notice to the contrary is given to the Borrower by the Agent. 
  

	3.6.2	During the period of ten (10) days after any Determination Notice has been given by the Agent under clause 3.6.1, each Bank shall certify an alternative basis (the
“Alternative Basis”) for funding its Commitment and/or for maintaining its Contribution. The Alternative Basis may at the relevant Bank’s sole and unfettered discretion (without limitation) include alternative interest periods,
alternative currencies or alternative rates of interest but shall include a margin above the cost of funds to such Bank equivalent to the Margin. The Agent shall calculate the arithmetic mean of the Alternative Bases provided by the relevant Banks
(the “Substitute Basis”) and certify the same to the Borrower and the Banks. The Substitute Basis so certified shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall take effect in accordance with its terms from the date specified in the
Determination Notice until such time as the Agent notifies the Borrower that none of the circumstances specified in clause 3.6.1 continues to exist whereupon the normal interest rate fixing provisions of this Agreement shall apply.

in relation to the funding of amounts to the Borrower, such liabilities matching the liabilities of the Borrower to the Banks and that it is reasonable for the Banks to be entitled to receive payments from the Borrower gross on the due date in order
that the Banks are put in a position to perform their matching obligations to the relevant third parties. Accordingly, all payments to be made by the Borrower under any of the Security Documents shall be made in full, without any set-off or
counterclaim whatsoever and, subject as provided in clause 6.6, free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in Dollars on the due date to the account of the Agent at such bank and in such place as the Agent may from time to time specify for
this purpose. Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any relevant Security Documents such payments shall be for the account of all the Banks and the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent shall forthwith distribute such payments
in like funds as are received by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent to the Banks rateably in accordance with their respective Commitment or (following drawdown) Contribution as the case may be.

	6.3	Non-Banking Days 

 When
any payment under any of the Security Documents would otherwise be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, the due date for payment shall be extended to the next following Banking Day unless such Banking Day falls in the next calendar month in
which case payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Banking Day. 
  

	6.4	Calculations 

 All
interest and other payments of an annual nature under any of the Security Documents shall accrue from day to day and be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year.

Any certificate or determination of the Agent or the Security Agent or any Bank as to any rate of interest or any other amount pursuant to
and for the purposes of any of the Security Documents shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and (in the case of a certificate of determination by the Agent or the Security Agent), on the other Creditors.

  

	6.6	Grossing-up for Taxes 

 If
at any time the Borrower is required to make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under any of the Security Documents for the account of any Creditor or if the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent is
required to make any such deduction or withholding from a payment to a Bank, the sum due from the Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the
relevant Creditor receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding), a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been
required to be made and the Borrower shall indemnify each Creditor against any losses or costs incurred by it by reason of any failure of the Borrower to make any such deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on

	6.7	Loan account 

 Each Bank
shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, an account or accounts evidencing the amounts from time to time lent by, owing to and paid to it under the Security Documents. The Agent and the Security Agent shall maintain a control account
or accounts showing the Loan, interest and other sums owing and/or payable by the Borrower under the Security Documents. Each such control account (which shall be the “account current” referred to in the Mortgage) shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive as to the amount from time to time owing by the Borrower under the Security Documents. 
  

	6.8	Agent may assume receipt 


Where any sum is to be paid under this Agreement to the Agent for the account of another person, the Agent may assume that the payment
will be made when due and the Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) make such sum available to the person so entitled. If it proves to be the case that such payment was not made to the Agent, then the person to whom such sum


  
 20 









 
was so made available shall on request refund such sum to the Agent together with interest thereon sufficient to compensate the Agent for the cost of making available such sum up to the date of
such repayment and the person by whom such sum was payable shall indemnify the Agent for any and all loss or expense which the Agent may sustain or incur as a consequence of such sum not having been paid on its due date. 

 

	6.9	Partial payments 

 If, on
any date on which a payment is due to be made by the Borrower under any of the Security Documents, the amount received by the Agent from the Borrower falls short of the total amount of the payment due to be made by the Borrower on such date then,
without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to the Creditors or any of them under any of the Security Documents, the Agent shall apply the amount actually received from the Borrower in or towards discharge of the obligations of the
Borrower under the Security Documents in the following order, notwithstanding any appropriation made, or purported to be made, by the Borrower:

	11.2	Currency indemnity 

 If
any sum due from the Borrower under any of the Security Documents or any order or judgment given or made in relation thereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable under the

court or other tribunal or (c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation to any of the Security Documents, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Creditor from and against any loss suffered as a result of any

course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof.

second currency. 
  

	11.3	Environmental indemnity

 40

such Creditor at any time, whether before or after the repayment in full of principal and interest under this Agreement, relating to, or arising directly or indirectly in any manner or for any cause or reason whatsoever out of an Environmental Claim
made or asserted against such Creditor if such Environmental Claim would not have been, or been capable of being, made or asserted against such Creditor if it had not entered into any of the Security Documents and/or exercised any of its rights,

Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or relating to any claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding (or the preparation of any defence with respect thereto) commenced or threatened in relation to the Security Documents or any
of them (or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Loan. This indemnity shall apply whether or not such claims, investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the
Borrower, any other Security Party, any Relevant Party, any of their respective shareholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other person, or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto, except to the extent that such Losses are
found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

 41 










	12.2	Increased costs 

 If the
result of any change in, or in the interpretation or application of, or the introduction of, any Capital Adequacy Law or compliance by a Bank with any Capital Adequacy Law, is to: 

 

	12.2.1	subject any Bank to Taxes or change the basis of Taxation of any Bank with respect to any payment under any of the Security Documents (other than Taxes or Taxation on
the overall net income, profits or gains of such Bank imposed in the jurisdiction in which its principal or lending office under this Agreement is located); and/or 


 

	12.2.2	increase the cost to, or impose an additional cost on, any Bank or its holding company in making or keeping such Bank’s Commitment available or maintaining or
funding all or part of such Bank’s Contribution; and/or 

  

	12.2.3	reduce the amount payable or the effective return to any Bank under any of the Security Documents; and/or 


 

	12.2.4	reduce any Bank’s or its holding company’s rate of return on its overall capital by reason of a change in the manner in which it is required to allocate
capital resources to such Bank’s obligations under any of the Security Documents; and/or 

  

	12.2.5	require any Bank or its holding company to make a payment or forego a return on or calculated by reference to any amount received or receivable by such Bank under any

	12.2.6	require any Bank or its holding company to incur or sustain a loss (including a loss of future potential profits) by reason of being obliged to deduct all or part of
its Commitment or its Contribution from its capital for regulatory purposes, 

 then and in each such case (subject
to clause 12.3): 
  

	 	(a)	such Bank shall (through the Agent) notify the Borrower in writing of such event promptly upon its becoming aware of the same; and 


 

	 	(b)	the Borrower shall on demand made at any time, whether or not such Bank’s Contribution has been repaid, pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank the amount
which such Bank specifies (in a certificate setting forth the basis of the computation of such amount but not including any matters which such Bank or its holding company regards as confidential) is required to compensate such Bank and/or (as the
case may be) its holding company for such liability to Taxes, cost, reduction, payment , foregone return or loss. 


For the purposes of this clause 12.2 “holding company” means, in relation to a Bank, the company or entity (if any) within the
consolidated supervision of which such Bank is included. 
  

	12.3	Exception 

 Nothing in
clause 12.2 shall entitle any Bank to receive any amount in respect of compensation for any such liability to Taxes, increased or additional cost, reduction, payment, foregone return or loss to the extent that the same is the subject of an
additional payment under clause 6.6. 
  

	13	Security, set-off and pro-rata payments 

  

	13.1	Application of moneys 


All moneys received by a Creditor under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents and expressed to be applicable in accordance with the
provisions of this clause 13.1 shall, if received by a Creditor other than the Agent and the Security Agent, be paid to the Agent for application, and if received by the Agent or the Security Agent shall be applied by the Agent and/or the Security
Agent (as the case may be) in the following manner: 
  

	13.1.1	first, in or towards payment of all unpaid costs, expenses and fees which may be owing to the Arranger, the Agent or the Security Agent under any of the Security

 42 










	13.1.2	secondly, in or towards payment of any unpaid costs, expenses and fees payable to the Banks or the Account Bank or any of them; 


 

	13.1.3	thirdly, in or towards payment of any arrears of interest owing in respect of the Loan or any part thereof; 


 

	13.1.4	fourthly, in or towards payment to any Bank for any loss suffered by reason of any such payment in respect of principal not being effected on an Interest Payment Date
relating to the part of the Loan repaid or prepaid and which amounts are so payable under this Agreement; 

  

	13.1.5	fifthly, in or towards repayment of the Loan (whether the same is due and payable or not); 


 

	13.1.6	sixthly, in or towards payment to any Creditor of any other sums owing to it under any of the Security Documents (and if any such sums are owing to more than one
Creditor, as between such Creditors on a pro rata basis); and 

  

	13.1.7	seventhly, the surplus (if any) shall be paid to the Borrower or to whomsoever else may be entitled to receive such surplus. 


 

	13.2	Pro-rata payments 

  

	13.2.1	If at any time any Bank (the “Recovering Bank”) receives or recovers any amount owing to it by the Borrower under this Agreement by direct payment,
set-off or in any manner other than by payment through the Agent pursuant to clauses 6.1 or 6.9 (not being a payment received from a Transferee Bank or a sub-participant in such Bank’s Contribution or any other payment of an amount due to the
Recovering Bank for its sole account pursuant to clauses 3.6, 5, 6.6, 11.1, 11.2, 12.1 or 12.2), the Recovering Bank shall, within two (2) Banking Days of such receipt or recovery (a “Relevant Receipt”) notify the Agent of the
amount of the Relevant Receipt. If the Relevant Receipt exceeds the amount which the Recovering Bank would have received if the Relevant Receipt had been received by the Agent and distributed pursuant to clauses 6.1 or 6.9 (as the case may be) then:


  

	 	(a)	within two (2) Banking Days of demand by the Agent, the Recovering Bank shall pay to the Agent an amount equal (or equivalent) to the excess;


  

	 	(b)	the Agent shall treat the excess amount so paid by the Recovering Bank as if it were a payment made by the Borrower and shall distribute the same to the Banks (other
than the Recovering Bank) in accordance with clause 6.9; and 

  

	 	(c)	as between the Borrower and the Recovering Bank the excess amount so re-distributed shall be treated as not having been paid but the obligations of the Borrower to the
other Banks shall, to the extent of the amount so re-distributed to them, be treated as discharged. 

  

	13.2.2	If any part of the Relevant Receipt subsequently has to be wholly or partly refunded by the Recovering Bank (whether to a liquidator or otherwise), each Bank to which
any part of such Relevant Receipt was so re-distributed shall on request from the Recovering Bank repay to the Recovering Bank such Bank’s pro-rata share of the amount which has to be refunded by the Recovering Bank. 


 

	13.2.3	Each Bank shall on request supply to the Agent such information as the Agent may from time to time request for the purpose of this clause 13.2.


  

	13.2.4	 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause 13.2, no Recovering Bank shall be obliged to share any Relevant Receipt which it receives or
recovers pursuant to legal proceedings taken by it to recover any sums owing to it under this Agreement with any other 



  
 43 










	 	
party which has a legal right to, but does not, either join in such proceedings or commence and diligently pursue separate proceedings to enforce its rights in the same or another court (unless
the proceedings instituted by the Recovering Bank are instituted by it without prior notice having been given to such party through the Agent). 

  

	13.3	Set-off 

  

	13.3.1	The Borrower authorises the Agent and each Bank (without prejudice to any of the Agent’s or such Bank’s rights at law, in equity or otherwise), at any time
and without notice to the Borrower, to apply any credit balance to which the Borrower is then entitled standing upon any account of the Borrower with any branch of such Creditor in or towards satisfaction of any sum due and payable from the Borrower
to the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, under any of the Security Documents. For this purpose, the Agent and each Bank is authorised to purchase with the moneys standing to the credit of such account such other currencies as may be necessary
to effect such application. 

  

	13.3.2	No Creditor shall be obliged to exercise any right given to it by this clause 13.3. Each Bank shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall notify the Borrower forthwith
upon the exercise or purported exercise of any right of set-off giving full details in relation thereto and the Agent shall inform the other Banks. Nothing in this clause 13.3 shall be effective to create a charge or other Encumbrance.


  

	13.3.3	Nothing in the clause 13.3 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. 


 

	13.4	No release 

 For the
avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that failure by any Recovering Bank to comply with the provisions of clause 13.2 shall not release any other Recovering Bank from any of its obligations or liabilities under clause 13.2. 

 

	13.5	No charge 

 The provisions
of this clause 13 shall not, and shall not be construed so as to, constitute a charge or other security interest by a Creditor over all or any part of a sum received or recovered by it in the circumstances mentioned in clause 13.2. 

 

	14	Accounts 

  

	14.1	General 

 The Borrower
undertakes with each Creditor that it will: 
  

	14.1.1	on or before the Drawdown Date, open each of the Accounts (and provide the Agent and the Account Bank with any information or documents requested by them under clause
8.1.15 to enable the Account Bank to do so); and 

  

	14.1.2	procure that all moneys payable to the Borrower in respect of the Earnings of the Ship shall, unless and until the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority
Banks) directs to the contrary pursuant to clause 2.1.1 of the Deed of Covenant be paid to the Operating Account Provided however that if any of the moneys paid to the Operating Account are payable in a currency other than Dollars, the Borrower
shall procure that the Account Bank shall (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorises the Agent to instruct the Account Bank to) convert such moneys into Dollars at the Account Bank’s spot rate of exchange at the
relevant time for the purchase of Dollars with such currency and the term “spot rate of exchange” shall include any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of Dollars with such currency.



  
 44 










	14.2	Operating Accounts: withdrawals 

 Unless and until a Default shall occur and be continuing and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) shall direct to the contrary, the Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw moneys
from the Operating Account only for the following purposes: 
  

	14.2.1	to pay any amount to the Agent in or towards payments of any instalments of interest or any repayments, reductions or other payments of principal, or any other amounts
then payable pursuant to the Security Documents; 

  

	14.2.2	to transfer to the Retention Account on each Retention Date all or part of the Retention Amount for such Retention Date; 


 

	14.2.3	to pay the proper and reasonable expenses of the Ship (including management fees under the Management Agreement); 


 

	14.2.4	to pay the proper and reasonable expenses of administering the Borrower’s affairs; and 


 

	14.2.5	to the extent not prohibited by the other provisions of this Agreement to pay cash dividends and distributions to its Shareholder. 


 

	14.3	Retention Account: credits and withdrawals 

  

	14.3.1	The Borrower undertakes with each Creditor that they will, from the date of this Agreement and so long as any moneys are owing under the Security Documents, on each
Retention Date pay to the Account Bank for credit to the Retention Account, the Retention Amount for such Retention Date provided however that, to the extent that there are moneys standing to the credit of the Operating Account as at the relevant
Retention Date, such moneys shall, up to an amount equal to the Retention Amount, be transferred to the Retention Account on that Retention Date. 

  

	14.3.2	Unless and until there shall occur an Event of Default (whereupon the provisions of clause 14.4 shall apply), all Retention Amounts credited to the Retention Account
together with interest from time to time accruing or at any time accrued on any amounts standing to the credit of the Retention Account from time to time, shall be applied by the Account Bank (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
authorises the Agent to instruct the Account Bank to so apply the same) upon each Repayment Date and/or on each day that interest is payable pursuant to clause 3.1, in or towards payment to the Agent of (i) the relevant instalment then falling
due for repayment or, as the case may be, (ii) the relevant amount of interest then due. Each such application by the Account Bank shall constitute a payment in or towards satisfaction of the Borrower’s corresponding payment obligations
under this Agreement but shall be strictly without prejudice to the obligations of the Borrower to make any such payment to the extent that the aforesaid application by the Account Bank is insufficient to meet the same. 


 

	14.3.3	Unless the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) otherwise agrees in writing, the Borrower shall not be entitled to withdraw any moneys from the
Retention Account at any time from the date of this Agreement and so long as any moneys are owing under the Security Documents. 

  

	14.4	Application of Accounts 


At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and on the instructions of the Majority Banks shall, with notice
to the Borrower, instruct the Account Bank to apply all moneys then standing to the credit of the Accounts (or either of them) (together with interest from time to time accruing or accrued thereon) in or towards satisfaction of any sums due to the
Creditors or any of them under the Security Documents in the manner specified in clause 13.1. 

  
 45 










	14.5	Charging of Accounts

Accounts and all amounts from time to time standing to the credit thereof shall be subject to the security constituted and the rights conferred by the Account Pledges.

of the relevant Transferor Bank or of another Bank or (3) such transfer is made by the Transferee Bank for the purposes of a securitisation or other similar transaction in relation to this Agreement. No such transfer is binding on, or effective in
relation to, the Borrower or the Agent or the other Creditors, unless (i) it is effected or evidenced by a Transfer Certificate which complies with the provisions of this clause 15.3 and is signed by or on behalf of the Transferor Bank, the
Transferee Bank and the Agent (on behalf of itself, the Borrower and the other Creditors) and (ii) such transfer of rights under the other Security Documents as the Agent or the Transferee Bank may deem necessary has been effected and

to the terms of such Transfer Certificate, such Transfer Certificate shall have effect as set out below. 
 The following further
provisions shall have effect in relation to any Transfer Certificate: 
  

	15.3.1	a Transfer Certificate may be in respect of a Bank’s rights in respect of all, or part of, its Commitment and shall be in respect of the same proportion of its
Contribution; 

  

	15.3.2	a Transfer Certificate shall only be in respect of rights and obligations of the Transferor Bank in its capacity as a Bank and shall not transfer its rights and
obligations as Agent, Security Agent or in any other capacity, as the case may be and such other rights and obligations may only be transferred in accordance with any applicable provisions of this Agreement; 


 

	15.3.3	a Transfer Certificate shall take effect in accordance with English law as follows: 


 

	 	(a)	to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate, the Transferor Bank’s payment rights and all its other rights (other than those referred to in clause 15.3.2

those provisions, the Transferor Bank ceases to be bound by them; and 

  

	 	(e)	the Transferee Bank becomes entitled to all the rights under this Agreement which are applicable to the Banks generally, including but not limited to those relating to
the Majority Banks and those under clauses 3.6, 5 and 12 and to the extent that the Transferee Bank becomes entitled to such rights, the Transferor Bank ceases to be entitled to them; 


 

	15.3.4	the rights and equities of the Borrower or of any other Security Party referred to above include, but are not limited to, any right of set-off and any other kind of
cross-claim; and 

  

	15.3.5	the Borrower, the Security Agent and the other Creditors hereby irrevocably authorise and instruct the Agent to sign any such Transfer Certificate on their behalf and
undertake not to withdraw, revoke or qualify such authority or instruction at any time. Promptly upon its signature of any Transfer Certificate, the Agent shall notify the Borrower, the Transferor Bank, the Transferee Bank and the other Banks.


  

	15.4	Reliance on Transfer Certificate 

  

	15.4.1	The Agent shall be entitled to rely on any Transfer Certificate believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been presented or signed by the persons by whom it
purports to have been presented or signed, and shall not be liable to any of the parties to this Agreement and the Security Documents for the consequences of such reliance. 


 

	15.4.2	The Agent shall at all times during the continuation of this Agreement maintain a register in which it shall record the name, Commitments, Contributions and
administrative details (including the lending office) from time to time of the Banks holding a Transfer Certificate and the date at which the transfer referred to in such Transfer Certificate held by each Bank was transferred to such Bank, and the
Agent shall make the said register available for inspection by any Bank, the Security Agent or the Borrower during normal banking hours upon receipt by the Agent of reasonable prior notice requesting the Agent to do so. 


 

	15.4.3	The entries on the said register shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive in determining the identities of the Commitments, the Contributions and the
Transfer Certificates held by the Banks from time to time and the principal amounts of such Transfer Certificates and may be relied upon by the Agent, the other Creditors and the other Security Parties for all purposes in connection with this
Agreement and the Security Documents. 

  

	15.5	Transfer fees and expenses 


If any Bank causes the transfer of all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations under the Security Documents, it shall (or
it shall ensure that the relevant Transferee Bank shall) pay to the Agent and/or the Security Agent on demand a transfer fee of $1,500 per transfer for the account of the Agent and all costs, fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal
fees and expenses), and all value added tax thereon, verified by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent as having been incurred by it in connection with such transfer.

	15.6	Documenting transfers 

 If
any Bank assigns all or any part of its rights or transfers all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations as provided in clause 15.3, the Borrower undertakes with each Creditor, immediately on being requested to do so by the Agent and
at the cost of the Transferor Bank, to enter into, and procure that the other Security Parties shall (at the cost of the Transferor Bank) enter into, such documents as may be necessary or desirable to transfer to the Transferee Bank all or the
relevant part of such Bank’s interest in the Security Documents and all relevant references in this Agreement to such Bank shall thereafter be construed as a reference to the Transferor Bank and/or its Transferee Bank (as the case may be) to
the extent of their respective interests. 
  

	15.7	Sub-participation 

 A Bank
may sub-participate all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under the Security Documents without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower but with the prior written consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

  

	15.8	Lending office 

 Each Bank
shall lend through its office at the address specified in schedule 1 or, as the case may be, in any relevant Transfer Certificate or through any other office of such Bank selected from time to time by such Bank through which such Bank wishes to lend
for the purposes of this Agreement. If the office through which a Bank is lending is changed pursuant to this clause 15.8, such Bank shall notify the Agent promptly of such change and the Agent shall notify the Borrower, the Security Agent and the
other Banks. 
  

	15.9	Disclosure of information 


Following the Borrower’s consent if and where such consent is required under clause 15.3, a Bank or the Agent may disclose to a
potential Transferee Bank or sub-participant or to any other entity or person including for the purpose of achieving a successful securitisation or other similar transaction, the Security Documents, any information which the Bank or the Agent has
received in relation to the Borrower, any other Security Party, the Group or their affairs, whether under or in connection with any Security Document or otherwise, and such entity or person to whom such disclosures may be made may include without
limitation: 
  

	 	(a)	any private, public or internationally recognised authorities; 

  

	 	(b)	the head office, branches, affiliates and professional advisors of any Creditor; 


 

	 	(c)	any other party to the Security Documents; 

  

	 	(d)	any rating agency or their professional advisors; 

  

	 	(e)	any person with whom the relevant Bank proposes to enter (or contemplates entering) into contractual relations in relation to the loan facility provided under this
Agreement or in relation to the Security Documents; and 

  

	 	(f)	any other persons in relation to the funding, refinancing, transfer, assignment, sale, sub- participation, operational arrangement or other transaction in relation
thereto including, without limitation, any enforcement, preservation, assignment, transfer, sale or sub- participation of any of the Creditor’s rights and/or obligations.

	16	Arranger, Agent and Security Agent 

  

	16.1	Appointment of the Agent 


Each Bank irrevocably appoints the Agent as its agent for the purposes of this Agreement and such of the Security Documents to which it
may be appropriate for the Agent to be party. By virtue of such appointment, each of the Banks hereby authorises the Agent: 
  

	16.1.1	to execute such documents as may be approved by the Majority Banks for execution by the Agent; and 


 

	16.1.2	(whether or not by or through employees or agents) to take such action on such Bank’s behalf and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are
specifically delegated to the Agent by this Agreement and/or any other Security Document, together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto. 


 

	16.2	Agent’s actions 

 Any

8.1.6 and 8.1.8; and 

  

	16.3.2	(subject to the other provisions of this clause 16) take (or instruct the Security Agent to take) such action or, as the case may be, refrain from taking (or authorise
the Security Agent to refrain from taking) such action with respect to the exercise of any of its rights, remedies, powers and discretions as agent, as the Majority Banks may direct. 


 

	16.4	Agent’s rights 

 The
Agent may:

	16.4.2	unless and until it shall have received directions from the Majority Banks, take such action or, as the case may be, refrain from taking such action (or authorise the
Security Agent to take or refrain from taking such action) in respect of a Default of which the Agent has actual knowledge as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks (but shall not be obliged to do so); 


 

	16.4.3	refrain from acting (or authorise the Security Agent to refrain from acting) in accordance with any instructions of the Banks to institute any legal proceedings arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents until it and/or the Security Agent has been indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction against any and all costs, expenses or liabilities (including legal fees)
which it would or might incur as a result; 

  

	16.4.4	 deem and treat (a) each Bank as the person entitled to the benefit of the Contribution of such Bank for all purposes of this Agreement unless and
until a Transfer Certificate shall have 



  
 49 










	 	
been filed with the Agent pursuant to clause 15.3 and shall have become effective, and (b) the office set opposite the name of each of the Banks in schedule 1 or, as the case may be, in any
relevant Transfer Certificate to be such Bank’s lending office unless and until a written notice of change of lending office shall have been received by the Agent and the Agent may act upon any such notice unless and until the same is
superseded by a further such notice; 

  

	16.4.5	rely as to matters of fact which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of any Security Party upon a certificate signed by any director or member of
the board of directors or officer (as the case may be) of the relevant Security Party on behalf of the relevant Security Party; and 

  

	16.4.6	do anything which is in its opinion necessary or desirable to comply with any law or regulation in any jurisdiction.

 Neither the Arranger nor the Agent nor any of their respective employees and agents shall: 
  

	16.5.1	be obliged to make any enquiry as to the use of any of the proceeds of the Loan unless (in the case of the Agent) so required in writing by a Bank, in which case the
Agent shall promptly make the appropriate request to the Borrower; or 

  

	16.5.2	be obliged to make any enquiry as to any breach or default by the Borrower or any other Security Party in the performance or observance of any of the provisions of this
Agreement or any of the other Security Documents or as to the existence of a Default unless (in the case of the Agent) the Agent has actual knowledge thereof or has been notified in writing thereof by a Bank, in which case the Agent shall promptly
notify the Banks of the relevant event or circumstance; or 

  

	16.5.3	be obliged to enquire whether or not any representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any other Security Party pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other
Security Documents is true; or 

  

	16.5.4	be obliged to do anything (including, without limitation, disclosing any document or information) which would, or might in its opinion, be contrary to any law or
regulation or be a breach of any duty of confidentiality or otherwise be actionable or render it liable to any person; or 

  

	16.5.5	be obliged to account to any Bank for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account; or 


 

	16.5.6	be obliged to institute any legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents other than on the instructions
of the Majority Banks; or 

  

	16.5.7	be liable to any Bank for any action taken or omitted under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents unless caused by its gross
negligence or wilful misconduct. 

 For the purposes of this clause 16, neither the Arranger nor the Agent shall be
treated as having actual knowledge of any matter of which the corporate finance or any other division outside the agency or loan administration department of the Arranger or the person for the time being acting as the Agent may become aware in the
context of corporate finance, advisory or lending activities from time to time undertaken by the relevant Arranger or, as the case may be, the Agent for any Security Party or any other person which may be a trade competitor of any Security Party or
may otherwise have commercial interests similar to those of any Security Party. 

  
 50 










	16.6	Non-reliance on Arranger or Agent 

 Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, opinion, forecast or other representation made by the Arranger or the Agent to induce it to enter into this Agreement or any of the other
Security Documents and that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance on the Arranger or the Agent and based on such documents as it considers appropriate, its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Security Parties and its own
independent investigation of the financial condition, prospects and affairs of the Security Parties in connection with the making and continuation of such Bank’s Commitment or Contribution under this Agreement. Neither the Arranger nor the
Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any other Creditor with any credit or other information with respect to any Security Party whether coming into its possession before the making of the
Loan or at any time or times thereafter other than as provided in clause 16.3.1. 
  

	16.7	No responsibility on Arranger or Agent for Borrower’s performance 

 Neither the Arranger nor the Agent shall have any responsibility or liability to any Bank: 
  

	16.7.1	on account of the failure of any Security Party to perform its obligations under any of the Security Documents; or 


 

	16.7.2	for the financial condition of any Security Party; or 

  

	16.7.3	for the completeness or accuracy of any statements, representations or warranties in any of the Security Documents or any document delivered under any of the Security
Documents; or 

  

	16.7.4	for the execution, effectiveness, adequacy, genuineness, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of any of the Security Documents or of any certificate,
report or other document executed or delivered under any of the Security Documents; or 

  

	16.7.5	to investigate or make any enquiry into the title of the Borrower or any other Security Party to the Ship or any other security or any part thereof; or


  

	16.7.6	for the failure to register any of the Security Documents with any official or regulatory body or office or elsewhere; or 


 

	16.7.7	for taking or omitting to take any other action under or in relation to any of the Security Documents or any aspect of any of the Security Documents; or


  

	16.7.8	on account of the failure of the Security Agent to perform or discharge any of its duties or obligations under the Security Documents; or 


 

	16.7.9	otherwise in connection with the Agreement or its negotiation or for acting (or, as the case may be, refraining from acting) in accordance with the instructions of the
Banks. 

  

	16.8	Reliance on documents and professional advice 

 The Arranger and the Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person and shall be
entitled to rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it (including those in the Arranger’s or, as the case may be, the Agent’s
employment). 
  

	16.9	Other dealings 

 The
Arranger and the Agent may, without any liability to account to the Banks, accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with, and provide advisory or other services to, any Security Party or any
of its Related Companies or any of the Banks as if it were not the Arranger or, as the case may be, the Agent. 

  
 51 










	16.10	Rights of Agent as Bank; no partnership 

 With respect to its own Commitment and Contribution (if any) the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Security Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not
performing the duties and functions delegated to it under this Agreement and the term “Banks” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity as a Bank. This Agreement shall not
and shall not be construed so as to constitute a partnership between the parties or any of them. 
  

	16.11	Amendments and waivers 

  

	16.11.1	Subject to clause 16.11.2, the Agent may, with the consent of the Majority Banks (or if and to the extent expressly authorised by the other provisions of any of the
Security Documents) and, if so instructed by the Majority Banks, the Agent shall: 

  

	 	(a)	agree (or authorise the Security Agent to agree) amendments or modifications to any of the Security Documents with any Security Party; and/or 


 

	 	(b)	vary or waive breaches of, or defaults under, or otherwise excuse performance of, any provision of any of the other Security Documents by any Security Party (or
authorise the Security Agent to do so). 

 Any such action so authorised and effected by the Agent shall be
documented in such manner as the Agent shall (with the approval of the Majority Banks) determine, shall be promptly notified to the Banks by the Agent and (without prejudice to the generality of clause 16.2) shall be binding on all the Creditors.

  

	16.11.2	Except with the prior written consent of all the Banks, the Agent shall have no authority on behalf of the Banks to agree (or authorise the Security Agent to agree)
with any Security Party any amendment or modification to any of the Security Documents or to grant (or authorise the Security Agent to grant) waivers in respect of breaches or defaults or to vary or excuse (or authorise the Security Agent to vary or
excuse) performance of or under any of the Security Documents by any Security Party, if the effect of such amendment, modification, waiver or excuse would be to: 


 

	 	(a)	reduce the Margin; 

  

	 	(b)	postpone the due date of, or reduce the amount of any payment of principal, interest or other amount payable by any Security Party under any of the Security Documents;


  

	 	(c)	change the currency in which any amount is payable by any Security Party under any of the Security Documents; 


 

	 	(d)	increase any Bank’s Commitment; 

  

	 	(e)	extend the Termination Date; 

  

	 	(f)	change any provision of any of the Security Documents which expressly or implied requires the approval or consent of all the Banks such that the relevant approval or
consent may be given otherwise than with the sanction of all the Banks; 

  

	 	(g)	change the order of distribution under clause 6.9 or clause 13.1 or change clause 13.2; 


 

	 	(h)	change this clause 16.11; 

  

	 	(i)	change the definition of “Majority Banks” in clause 1.2; or

upon which such security or guarantee may be, or is required to be, released. 


  
 52 










	16.12	Reimbursement and indemnity by Banks 

 Each Bank shall reimburse the Agent (rateably in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or Contribution), to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrower, for the costs, charges and
expenses incurred by the Agent which are expressed to be payable by the Borrower under clause 5.2 including (in each case) the fees and expenses of legal or other professional advisers. Each Bank shall on demand indemnify the Agent (rateably in
accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or Contribution) against all liabilities, damages, costs and claims whatsoever incurred by the Agent in connection with any of the Security Documents or the performance of its duties under any of the
Security Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under any of the Security Documents, unless such liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise from the Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 

 

	16.13	Retirement of Agent 

  

	16.13.1	The Agent may, having given to the Borrower and each of the Banks hot less than thirty (30) days’ notice of its intention to do so, retire from its
appointment as Agent under this Agreement, provided that no such retirement shall take effect unless there has been appointed by the Banks as a successor agent: 


 

	 	(a)	a Related Company of the Agent nominated by the Agent which the Banks hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to appoint or, failing such nomination,


  

	 	(b)	a Bank nominated by the Majority Banks or, failing such a nomination, 

  

	 	(c)	any reputable and experienced bank or financial institution nominated by the retiring Agent, 


and such successor agent shall have accepted such appointment. 
 Any corporation into which the retiring Agent may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the Agent may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, amalgamation,
consolidation or other reorganisation to which the Agent shall be a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Agent under this Agreement and the other Security Documents without the execution or filing of any document
or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement and the other Security Documents save that notice of any such merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation shall forthwith be given to each Security
Party, the Banks. Prior to any such successor being appointed, the Agent agrees to consult with the Borrower as to the identity of the proposed successor and to take account of any reasonable objections which the Borrower may raise to such successor
being appointed. 
  

	16.13.2	Upon any such successor as aforesaid being appointed, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation under the Security Documents (but shall
continue to have the benefit of this clause 16 in respect of any action it has taken or refrained from taking prior to such discharge) and its successor and each of the other parties to this Agreement shall have the same rights and obligations among
themselves as they would have had if such successor had been a party to this Agreement in place of the retiring Agent. The retiring Agent shall (at the expense of the Borrower) provide its successor with copies of such of its records as its
successor reasonably requires to carry out its functions under the Security Documents. 

  

	16.14	Appointment and retirement of Security Agent 

  

	16.14.1	Appointment 

 Each of the Banks
and the Agent irrevocably appoints the Security Agent as its security agent and trustee for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Security Documents to which the Security Agent is or is to be a party, in each case on the terms set out in this
Agreement. By virtue of such appointment, the Agent and each of the Banks hereby 

  
 53 









 
authorises the Security Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are
specifically delegated to the Security Agent by this Agreement and/or any of the other Security Documents, together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

 

	16.14.2	Retirement 

 Without prejudice to
clause 16.13, the Security Agent may, having given to the Borrower and each of the Banks not less than fifteen (15) days’ notice of its intention to do so, retire from its appointment as Security Agent under this Agreement and any Trust
Deed, provided that no such retirement shall take effect unless there has been appointed by the Banks and the Agent as a successor security agent and trustee: 
  

	 	(a)	a Related Company of the Security Agent nominated by the Security Agent which the Banks hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to appoint or, failing such
nomination, 

  

	 	(b)	a bank or trust corporation nominated by the Majority Banks or, failing such a nomination, 


 

	 	(c)	any bank or trust corporation nominated by the retiring Security Agent, 

 and, in any case (i) such successor security agent and trustee shall have duly accepted such appointment by delivering to the Agent (A) written confirmation (in a form acceptable to the Agent)
of such acceptance agreeing to be bound by this Agreement in the capacity of Security Agent as if it had been an original party to this Agreement and (B) a duly executed Trust Deed and (ii) such successor security agent and trustee shall
have duly entered into, whether with the retiring Security Agent and/or with the Borrower and the other Security Parties and/or with the Creditors or with any of them, such documents in connection with the Security Documents as the Agent shall
require in its absolute discretion. 
 Any corporation into which the retiring Security Agent may be merged or converted or any
corporation with which the Security Agent may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation to which the Security Agent shall be a party shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, be the successor Security Agent under this Agreement, any Trust Deed and the other Security Documents referred to in clause 16.14.1 without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the
parties to this Agreement, any Trust Deed and the other Security Documents save that notice of any such merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation shall forthwith be given to each Security Party, the Banks and the Agent.

 Upon any such successor as aforesaid being appointed, the retiring Security Agent shall be discharged from any further
obligation under the Security Documents (but shall continue to have the benefit of this clause 16 in respect of any action it has taken or refrained from taking prior to such discharge) and its successor and each of the other parties to this
Agreement shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor had been a party to this Agreement in place of the retiring Security Agent. The retiring Security Agent shall (at the expense of the
Borrower) provide its successor with copies of such of its records as its successor reasonably requires to carry out its functions under the Security Documents. 
  

	16.15	Powers and duties of the Security Agent 

  

	16.15.1	The Security Agent shall have no duties, obligations or liabilities to any of the Banks or the Agent beyond those expressly stated in any of the Security Documents.
Each of the Banks and the Agent hereby authorises the Security Agent to enter into and execute: 

  

	 	(a)	each of the Security Documents to which the Security Agent is or is intended to be a party; and 


  
 54 










	 	(b)	any and all such other Security Documents as may be approved by the Agent in writing (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) for entry into by the Security
Agent, 

 and, in each and every case, to hold any and all security thereby created upon trust for the Banks and
the Agent in the manner contemplated by this Agreement. 
  

	16.15.2	Subject to clause 16.15.3 the Security Agent may, with the prior consent of the Majority Banks communicated in writing by the Agent, concur with any of the Security
Parties to: 

  

	 	(a)	amend, modify or otherwise vary any provision of the Security Documents to which the Security Agent is or is intended to be a party; or 


 

	 	(b)	waive breaches of, or defaults under, or otherwise excuse performance of, any provision of the Security Documents to which the Security Agent is or is intended to be a
party. 

 Any such action so authorised and effected by the Security Agent shall be promptly notified to the Banks
and the Agent by the Security Agent and shall be binding on the other Creditors. 
  

	16.15.3	The Security Agent shall not concur with any Security Party with respect to any of the matters described in clause 16.11.2 without the consent of all the Banks
communicated in writing by the Agent. 

  

	16.15.4	The Security Agent shall (subject to the other provisions of this clause 16) take such action or, as the case may be, refrain from taking such action, with respect to
any of its rights, powers and discretions as security agent and trustee, as the Agent may direct. Subject as provided in the foregoing provisions of this clause, unless and until the Security Agent shall have received such instructions from the
Agent, the Security Agent may, but shall not be obliged to, take (or refrain from taking) such action under or pursuant to the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.15.1 as the Security Agent shall deem advisable in the best interests of the
Creditors provided that (for the avoidance of doubt), to the extent that this clause might otherwise be construed as authorising the Security Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action of the nature referred to in clause 16.15.2 - and for
which the prior consent of the Banks is expressly required under clause 16.15.3 - clauses 16.15.2 and 16.15.3 shall apply to the exclusion of this clause. 

  


	16.15.5	None of the Banks nor the Agent shall have any independent power to enforce any of the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.15.1 or to exercise any rights,
discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to such Security Documents or any of them or otherwise have direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by such Security Documents or any of them except
through the Security Agent. 

  

	16.15.6	For the purpose of this clause 16, the Security Agent may, rely and act in reliance upon any information from time to time furnished to the Security Agent by the Agent
(whether pursuant to clause 16.15.7 or otherwise) unless and until the same is superseded by further such information, so that the Security Agent shall have no liability or responsibility to any party as a consequence of placing reliance on and
acting in reliance upon any such information unless the Security Agent has actual knowledge that such information is inaccurate or incorrect. 

  

	16.15.7	Without prejudice to the foregoing each of the Agent and the Banks (whether directly or through the Agent) shall provide the Security Agent with such written
information as it may reasonably require for the purpose of carrying out its duties and obligations under the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.15.1. 


 

	16.15.8	 Each Bank shall reimburse the Security Agent (rateably in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or, following draw down, its Contribution), to
the extent that the Security Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrower, for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Agent which are expressed to be payable by the Borrower under clause 5.2 including (in each case) the fees and expenses of
legal or other professional advisers. Each Bank shall 



  
 55 










	 	
on demand indemnify the Security Agent (rateably in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or, following draw down, its Contribution) against all liabilities, damages, costs and claims
whatsoever incurred by the Security Agent in connection with any of the Security Documents or the performance of its duties under any of the Security Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Security Agent under any of the Security Documents,
unless such liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise from the Security Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 

  

	16.16	Trust provisions 

  

	16.16.1	In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Documents specified in clause 16.15.1, the Security Agent shall, without prejudice to any of the powers,
discretions and immunities conferred upon trustees by law (and to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of any of those Security Documents), have all the same powers and discretions as a natural person acting as the beneficial owner of
such property and/or as are conferred upon the Security Agent by any of those Security Documents. 

  

	16.16.2	It is expressly declared that, in its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Documents specified in clause 16.15.1, the Security Agent shall be entitled to
invest moneys forming part of the security and which, in the opinion of the Security Agent, may not be paid out promptly following receipt in the name or under the control of the Security Agent in any of the investments for the time being authorised
by law for the investment by trustees of trust moneys or in any other property or investments whether similar to the aforesaid or not or by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Security Agent as the Security Agent may
think fit without being under any duty to diversify its investments and the Security Agent may at any time vary or transpose any such property or investments for or into any others of a like nature and shall not be responsible for any loss due to

 In
consideration of (a) the Banks making or continuing loans or advances to, or otherwise giving credit or granting banking facilities or accommodation or granting time to, the Borrower pursuant to the Agreement and (b) other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Guarantor, the Guarantor hereby guarantees to pay to the Security Agent, for the account of the Secured Creditors, on demand by the Security Agent all moneys
and discharge all obligations and liabilities now or hereafter due, owing or incurred by the Borrower to the Secured Creditors or any of them under or pursuant to the Agreement and the other Security Documents or any of them, when the same become
due for payment or discharge whether by acceleration or otherwise, and whether such moneys, obligations or liabilities are express or implied, present, future or contingent, joint or several, incurred as principal or surety, originally owing to the
Secured Creditors or any of them or purchased or otherwise acquired by any of them, denominated in Dollars or in any other currency, or incurred on any banking account or in any other manner whatsoever. 

Such liabilities shall, without limitation, include interest (as well after as before judgment) to date of payment at such rates and upon
such terms as may from time to time be agreed, commission, fees and other charges and all legal and other costs, charges and expenses on a full and unqualified indemnity basis which may be incurred by the Secured Creditors or any of them in relation
to any such moneys, obligations or liabilities or generally in respect of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any Collateral Instrument. 
  

	2.2	Guarantor as principal debtor; indemnity 

 As a separate and independent stipulation, the Guarantor agrees that if any purported obligation or liability of the Borrower which would have been the subject of this Guarantee had it been valid and
enforceable is not or ceases to be valid or enforceable against the Borrower on any ground whatsoever whether or not known to the Security Agent and/or the Secured Creditors or any of them (including, without limitation, any irregular exercise or
absence of any corporate power or lack of authority of, or breach of duty by, any person purporting to act on behalf of the Borrower or any legal or other limitation, whether under the Limitation Acts or otherwise or any disability or Incapacity or
any change in the constitution of the Borrower) the Guarantor shall nevertheless be liable to the Security Agent in respect of that purported obligation or liability as if the same were fully valid and enforceable and the Guarantor were the
principal debtor in respect thereof. The Guarantor hereby agrees to keep the Security Agent fully indemnified on demand against all damages, losses, costs and expenses arising from any failure of the Borrower to perform or discharge any such
purported obligation or liability. 
  

	2.3	Statements of account conclusive 

 Any statement of account, signed as correct by an officer of the Security Agent, showing the amount of the Guaranteed Liabilities shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence against
the Guarantor. 
  

	2.4	No security taken by Guarantor 

 The Guarantor warrants that it has not taken or received, and undertakes that until all the Guaranteed Liabilities of the Borrower have been paid or discharged in full, it will not take or receive, the
benefit of any security from the Borrower or any other person in respect of its obligations under this Guarantee. 

  
 5 









	2.5	Interest 

 The Guarantor
agrees to pay interest on each amount demanded of it under this Guarantee from the date of such demand until payment (as well after as before judgment) at the rate specified in clause 3.4 of the Agreement which shall apply to this Guarantee mutatis
mutandis. Such interest shall be compounded at the end of each period determined for this purpose by the Security Agent in the event of it not being paid when demanded but without prejudice to any Secured Creditor’s right to require payment of
such interest. 
  

	2.6	Continuing security and other matters 

 This Guarantee shall: 
  

	2.6.1	secure the ultimate balance from time to time owing to the Secured Creditors or any of them by the Borrower and shall be a continuing security, notwithstanding any
settlement of account or other matter whatsoever; 

  

	2.6.2	be in addition to any present or future Collateral Instrument, right or remedy held by or available to the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors; and


  

	2.6.3	not be in any way prejudiced or affected by the existence of any such Collateral Instrument, rights or remedies or by the same becoming wholly or in part void, voidable
or unenforceable on any ground whatsoever or by the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors dealing with, exchanging, varying or failing to perfect or enforce any of the same or giving time for payment or indulgence or compounding with any
other person liable. 

  

	2.7	Liability unconditional 


The liability of the Guarantor shall not be affected nor shall this Guarantee be discharged or reduced by reason of: 

 

	2.7.1	the Incapacity or any change in the name, style or constitution of the Borrower or any other person liable; 


 

	2.7.2	the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors granting any time, indulgence or concession to, or compounding with, discharging, releasing or varying the liability
of, the Borrower or any other person liable or renewing, determining, varying or increasing any accommodation, facility or transaction or otherwise dealing with the same in any manner whatsoever or concurring in, accepting or varying any compromise,
arrangement or settlement or omitting to claim or enforce payment from the Borrower or any other person liable; or 

  

	2.7.3	any act or omission which would have discharged or affected the liability of the Guarantor had it been a principal debtor instead of a guarantor or by anything done or
omitted which but for this provision might operate to exonerate the Guarantor. 

  

	2.8	Collateral Instruments 


Neither the Security Agent nor any of the Secured Creditors shall be obliged to make any claim or demand on the Borrower or to resort to
any Collateral Instrument or other means of payment now or hereafter held by or available to it before the Security Agent enforcing this Guarantee and no action taken or omitted by the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors in connection
with any such Collateral Instrument or other means of payment shall discharge, reduce, prejudice or affect the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee nor shall the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors be obliged to apply any
moneys or other property received or recovered in consequence of any enforcement or realisation of any such Collateral Instrument or other means of payment in reduction of the Guaranteed Liabilities. 

  
 6 









	2.9	Waiver of Guarantor’s rights 

 Until all the Guaranteed Liabilities have been paid, discharged or satisfied in full (and notwithstanding payment of a dividend in any liquidation or under any compromise or arrangement) the Guarantor
agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks), it will not: 
  

	2.9.1	exercise its rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity against the Borrower or any other person liable; 


 

	2.9.2	demand or accept repayment in whole or in part of any Indebtedness now or hereafter due to the Guarantor from the Borrower or from any other person liable or demand or
accept any Collateral Instrument in respect of the same or dispose of the same; 

  

	2.9.3	take any step to enforce any right against the Borrower or any other person liable in respect of any Guaranteed Liabilities; or 


 

	2.9.4	claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other person liable or claim or prove in competition with the Security Agent or any of the Secured
Creditors in the liquidation of the Borrower or any other person liable or have the benefit of, or share in, any payment from or composition with the Borrower or any other person liable or any other Collateral Instrument now or hereafter held by the
Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors for any Guaranteed Liabilities or for the obligations or liabilities of any other person liable but so that, if so directed by the Security Agent, it will prove for the whole or any part of its claim in
the liquidation of the Borrower or any other person liable on terms that the benefit of such proof and of all money received by it in respect thereof shall be held on trust for the Security Agent and applied in or towards discharge of the Guaranteed
Liabilities in such manner as the Security Agent shall deem appropriate. 

  

	2.10	Suspense accounts 

 Any
moneys received in connection with this Guarantee (whether before or after any Incapacity of the Borrower or the Guarantor) may be placed to the credit of a suspense account with a view to preserving the rights of the Security Agent or any of the
Secured Creditors to prove for the whole of its claims against the Borrower or any other person liable or may be applied in or towards satisfaction of such of the Guaranteed Liabilities as the Security Agent may from time to time conclusively
determine in its absolute discretion. 
  

	2.11	Settlements conditional 


Any release, discharge or settlement between the Guarantor and the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors shall be conditional
upon no security, disposition or payment to the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors by the Borrower or any other person liable being void, set aside or ordered to be refunded pursuant to any enactment or law relating to bankruptcy,
liquidation, administration or insolvency or for any other reason whatsoever and if such condition shall not be fulfilled the Security Agent shall be entitled to enforce this Guarantee subsequently as if such release, discharge or settlement had not
occurred and any such payment had not been made. 
  

	2.12	Guarantor to deliver up certain property 

 If, contrary to clauses 2.4 or 2.9, the Guarantor takes or receives the benefit of any security or receives or recovers any money or other property, such security, money or other property shall be held on
trust for the Security Agent and shall be delivered to the Security Agent on demand. 
  

	2.13	Retention of this Guarantee 

 The Security Agent shall be entitled to retain this Guarantee after as well as before the payment or discharge of all the Guaranteed Liabilities for such period as the Security Agent may determine (but
not longer than 24 months after the date of full payment and discharge of the Guaranteed Liabilities). 

  
 7 









	3	Payments and Taxes 

  

	3.1	No set off or counterclaim 


All payments to be made by the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be made in full, without any set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and,
subject as provided in clause 3.2, free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in Dollars on the due date to such account of the Security Agent as it may specify in writing to the Guarantor from time to time. 

 

	3.2	Grossing up for Taxes 

 If
at any time the Guarantor is required to make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under this Guarantee for the account of the Security Agent (or if the Security Agent is required to make any such deduction or
withholding from a payment to a Secured Creditor of moneys received under this Guarantee), the sum due from the Guarantor in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or
withholding, the Security Agent or, as the case may be, such Secured Creditor receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have
received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made and the Guarantor shall indemnify the Security Agent against any losses or costs incurred by it by reason of any failure of the Guarantor to make any such deduction or
withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment. The Guarantor shall promptly deliver to the Security Agent any receipts, certificates or other proof evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or payable
in respect of any deduction or withholding as aforesaid. 
  

	3.3	Currency indemnity 

 If
any sum due from the Guarantor under this Guarantee or any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable under this Guarantee or under
such order or judgment into another currency (the “second currency”) for the purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Guarantor, (b) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or
(c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation to this Guarantee, the Guarantor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Security Agent from and against any loss suffered as a result of any difference between (i) the rate of
exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which the Security Agent may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency
with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. Any amount due from the Guarantor under this clause 3.3 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be
affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this Guarantee and the term “rate of exchange” includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of the first
currency with the second currency.

not those of any other state shall have jurisdiction to determine any claim which the Guarantor may have against the Security Agent arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee (including any non-contractual obligations in connection with
this Guarantee).

 In

valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Guarantor, the Guarantor hereby guarantees to pay to the Security Agent, for the account of the Secured Creditors, on demand by the Security Agent all moneys
and discharge all obligations and liabilities now or hereafter due, owing or incurred by the Borrower to the Secured Creditors or any of them under or pursuant to the Agreement and the other Security Documents or any of them, when the same become
due for payment or discharge whether by acceleration or otherwise, and whether such moneys, obligations or liabilities are express or implied, present, future or contingent, joint or several, incurred as principal or surety, originally owing to the
Secured Creditors or any of them or purchased or otherwise acquired by any of them, denominated in Dollars or in any other currency, or incurred on any banking account or in any other manner whatsoever. 

Such liabilities shall, without limitation, include interest (as well after as before judgment) to date of payment at such rates and upon
such terms as may from time to time be agreed, commission, fees and other charges and all legal and other costs, charges and expenses on a full and unqualified indemnity basis which may be incurred by the Secured Creditors or any of them in relation
to any such moneys, obligations or liabilities or generally in respect of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any Collateral Instrument. 
  

	2.2	Guarantor as principal debtor; indemnity 

 As a separate and independent stipulation, the Guarantor agrees that if any purported obligation or liability of the Borrower which would have been the subject of this Guarantee had it been valid and
enforceable is not or ceases to be valid or enforceable against the Borrower on any ground whatsoever whether or not known to the Security Agent and/or the Secured Creditors or any of them (including, without limitation, any irregular exercise or
absence of any corporate power or lack of authority of, or breach of duty by, any person purporting to act on behalf of the Borrower or any legal or other limitation, whether under the Limitation Acts or otherwise or any disability or Incapacity or
any change in the constitution of the Borrower) the Guarantor shall nevertheless be liable to the Security Agent in respect of that purported obligation or liability as if the same were fully valid and enforceable and the Guarantor were the
principal debtor in 

  
 3 








 
respect thereof. The Guarantor hereby agrees to keep the Security Agent fully indemnified on demand against all damages, losses, costs and expenses arising from any failure of the Borrower to
perform or discharge any such purported obligation or liability. 
  

	2.3	Statements of account conclusive 

 Any statement of account, signed as correct by an officer of the Security Agent, showing the amount of the Guaranteed Liabilities shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence against
the Guarantor. 
  

	2.4	No security taken by Guarantor 

 The Guarantor warrants that it has not taken or received, and undertakes that until all the Guaranteed Liabilities of the Borrower have been paid or discharged in full, it will not take or receive, the
benefit of any security from the Borrower or any other person in respect of its obligations under this Guarantee. 
  

	2.5	Interest 

 The Guarantor
agrees to pay interest on each amount demanded of it under this Guarantee from the date of such demand until payment (as well after as before judgment) at the rate specified in clause 3.4 of the Agreement which shall apply to this Guarantee
mutatis mutandis. Such interest shall be compounded at the end of each period determined for this purpose by the Security Agent in the event of it not being paid when demanded but without prejudice to any Secured Creditor’s right to
require payment of such interest. 
  

	2.6	Continuing security and other matters 

 This Guarantee shall: 
  

	2.6.1	secure the ultimate balance from time to time owing to the Secured Creditors or any of them by the Borrower and shall be a continuing security, notwithstanding any
settlement of account or other matter whatsoever; 

  

	2.6.2	be in addition to any present or future Collateral Instrument, right or remedy held by or available to the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors; and


  

	2.6.3	not be in any way prejudiced or affected by the existence of any such Collateral Instrument, rights or remedies or by the same becoming wholly or in part void, voidable
or unenforceable on any ground whatsoever or by the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors dealing with, exchanging, varying or failing to perfect or enforce any of the same or giving time for payment or indulgence or compounding with any
other person liable. 

  

	2.7	Liability unconditional 


The liability of the Guarantor shall not be affected nor shall this Guarantee be discharged or reduced by reason of: 

 

	2.7.1	the Incapacity or any change in the name, style or constitution of the Borrower or any other person liable; 


 

	2.7.2	the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors granting any time, indulgence or concession to, or compounding with, discharging, releasing or varying the liability
of, the Borrower or any other person liable or renewing, determining, varying or increasing any accommodation, facility or transaction or otherwise dealing with the same in any manner whatsoever or concurring in, accepting or varying any compromise,
arrangement or settlement or omitting to claim or enforce payment from the Borrower or any other person liable; or 


  
 4 









	2.7.3	any act or omission which would have discharged or affected the liability of the Guarantor had it been a principal debtor instead of a guarantor or by anything done or
omitted which but for this provision might operate to exonerate the Guarantor. 

  

	2.8	Collateral Instruments 


Neither the Security Agent nor any of the Secured Creditors shall be obliged to make any claim or demand on the Borrower or to resort to
any Collateral Instrument or other means of payment now or hereafter held by or available to it before the Security Agent enforcing this Guarantee and no action taken or omitted by the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors in connection
with any such Collateral Instrument or other means of payment shall discharge, reduce, prejudice or affect the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee nor shall the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors be obliged to apply any
moneys or other property received or recovered in consequence of any enforcement or realisation of any such Collateral Instrument or other means of payment in reduction of the Guaranteed Liabilities. 

 

	2.9	Waiver of Guarantor’s rights 

 Until all the Guaranteed Liabilities have been paid, discharged or satisfied in full (and notwithstanding payment of a dividend in any liquidation or under any compromise or arrangement) the Guarantor
agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks), it will not: 
  

	2.9.1	exercise its rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity against the Borrower or any other person liable; 


 

	2.9.2	demand or accept repayment in whole or in part of any Indebtedness now or hereafter due to the Guarantor from the Borrower or from any other person liable or demand or
accept any Collateral Instrument in respect of the same or dispose of the same; 

  

	2.9.3	take any step to enforce any right against the Borrower or any other person liable in respect of any Guaranteed Liabilities; or 


 

	2.9.4	claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other person liable or claim or prove in competition with the Security Agent or any of the Secured
Creditors in the liquidation of the Borrower or any other person liable or have the benefit of, or share in, any payment from or composition with the Borrower or any other person liable or any other Collateral Instrument now or hereafter held by the
Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors for any Guaranteed Liabilities or for the obligations or liabilities of any other person liable but so that, if so directed by the Security Agent, it will prove for the whole or any part of its claim in
the liquidation of the Borrower or any other person liable on terms that the benefit of such proof and of all money received by it in respect thereof shall be held on trust for the Security Agent and applied in or towards discharge of the Guaranteed
Liabilities in such manner as the Security Agent shall deem appropriate. 

  

	2.10	Suspense accounts 

 Any
moneys received in connection with this Guarantee (whether before or after any Incapacity of the Borrower or the Guarantor) may be placed to the credit of a suspense account with a view to preserving the rights of the Security Agent or any of the
Secured Creditors to prove for the whole of its claims against the Borrower or any other person liable or may be applied in or towards satisfaction of such of the Guaranteed Liabilities as the Security Agent may from time to time conclusively
determine in its absolute discretion. 
  

	2.11	Settlements conditional 


Any release, discharge or settlement between the Guarantor and the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors shall be conditional
upon no security, disposition or payment to the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors by the Borrower or any other person liable being void, set aside or ordered to be refunded pursuant to any enactment or law relating to


  
 5 








 
bankruptcy, liquidation, administration or insolvency or for any other reason whatsoever and if such condition shall not be fulfilled the Security Agent shall be entitled to enforce this
Guarantee subsequently as if such release, discharge or settlement had not occurred and any such payment had not been made. 
  

	2.12	Guarantor to deliver up certain property 

 If, contrary to clauses 2.4 or 2.9, the Guarantor takes or receives the benefit of any security or receives or recovers any money or other property, such security, money or other property shall be held on
trust for the Security Agent and shall be delivered to the Security Agent on demand. 
  

	2.13	Retention of this Guarantee 

 The Security Agent shall be entitled to retain this Guarantee after as well as before the payment or discharge of all the Guaranteed Liabilities for such period as the Security Agent may determine (but
not longer than 24 months after the date of full payment and discharge of all the Guaranteed Liabilities). 
  

	2.14	Release of Guarantee 

 If
at any time during the Security Period: 
  

	 	(a)	the shares of the Asclepius Guarantor are listed and traded on NASDAQ or on any other stock exchange acceptable to the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the
Majority Banks); and 

  

	 	(b)	the Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Asclepius Guarantee) as at the end of the then latest Accounting Period (as defined in the Asclepius Guarantee) is no less
than $200,000,000; and 

  

	 	(c)	no Default has occurred and is continuing; and 

  

	 	(d)	the Asclepius Guarantor demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Agent that it comfortably meets all its obligations and covenants under the Asclepius Guarantee,


 and the Guarantor, the Borrower and the Asclepius Guarantor have so requested the Security Agent and the Agent
in writing, and the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks in their discretion) consents to such request in writing, then the Security Agent shall release in writing the Guarantor from all its obligations under this
Guarantee as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant request, but at the cost and expense of the Guarantor. 
  

	3	Payments and Taxes 

  

	3.1	No set off or counterclaim 


All payments to be made by the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be made in full, without any set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and,
subject as provided in clause 3.2, free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in Dollars on the due date to such account of the Security Agent as it may specify in writing to the Guarantor from time to time. 

 

	3.2	Grossing up for Taxes 

 If
at any time the Guarantor is required to make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under this Guarantee for the account of the Security Agent (or if the Security Agent is required to make any such deduction or
withholding from a payment to a Secured Creditor of moneys received under this Guarantee), the sum due from the Guarantor in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or
withholding, the Security Agent or, as the case may be, such Secured Creditor receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have


  
 6 








 
received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made and the Guarantor shall indemnify the Security Agent against any losses or costs incurred by it by reason of any failure of
the Guarantor to make any such deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment. The Guarantor shall promptly deliver to the Security Agent any receipts, certificates or other proof
evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or payable in respect of any deduction or withholding as aforesaid. 
  

	3.3	Currency indemnity 

 If
any sum due from the Guarantor under this Guarantee or any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable under this Guarantee or under
such order or judgment into another currency (the “second currency”) for the purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Guarantor, (b) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or
(c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation to this Guarantee, the Guarantor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Security Agent from and against any loss suffered as a result of any difference between (i) the rate of
exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which the Security Agent may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency
with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. Any amount due from the Guarantor under this clause 3.3 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be
affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this Guarantee and the term “rate of exchange” includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of the first
currency with the second currency.

construed in accordance with the 



  
 12 










	 	
Applicable Accounting Principles consistently applied and as determined from any relevant Accounting Information, Compliance Certificate or any other information available to the Security Agent
and/or the Agent at any relevant time. 

  

	 	(b)	The compliance of the Guarantor with the undertakings set out in clause 5.3.1 shall be determined by the Security Agent in its sole discretion on the basis of
calculations made by the Security Agent and/or the Agent whether or not, at that time, any relevant Accounting Information or Compliance Certificate which is due to be delivered, has been actually delivered to the Agent and/or the Security Agent
pursuant to clause 5.1.4 of this Guarantee or clause 8.1.5 of the Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	Without prejudice to the other terms of this clause 5.3 and, in particular, the time when compliance with the financial undertakings of clause 5.3.1 is to be measured

shall be made without, unless required by the Security Agent, physical inspection and on the basis of a sale for prompt delivery for cash at arm’s length on normal commercial terms as between a willing buyer and a willing seller, without taking
into account the benefit of any charterparty or other engagement concerning such Fleet Vessel. The arithmetic mean of such two (2) valuations shall constitute the value of a Fleet Vessel for the purposes of this clause 5.3.3 and the other
provisions of this Guarantee and the other Security Documents. 

  

	 	(b)	The value of a Fleet Vessel determined in accordance with the provisions of this clause 5.3.3 shall be binding upon the parties hereto until such time as any further

Documents. If at any time in the future the Shareholder requests the Pledgee to release the stock certificates in respect of any the Shares which are in bearer form to enable the Shareholder to vote in relation to the Shares, the Shareholder
acknowledges and agrees that, if the Pledgee (in its absolute discretion) agrees to such request, any release of such stock certificates by the Pledgee shall only be made if the Shareholder is still entitled to vote in respect of the Shares pursuant

stock certificates by the Pledgee following receipt of such letter will under no circumstances constitute a release by the Pledgee of the security in respect of the Shares constituted by this Deed and that it will execute in favour of the Pledgee

or continuing, would be secured by this Deed is or becomes wholly or in part unenforceable or invalid or terminated for any reason whatsoever, the Shareholder will keep the Pledgee fully indemnified against any loss suffered by the Pledgee as a

to the Pledgee by the Corporation, the Shareholder or any other person being void or set aside or ordered to be refunded pursuant to any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, liquidation, administration or insolvency or for any other
reason whatsoever and if such condition shall not be fulfilled, the Pledgee shall be entitled to enforce the security created by this Deed and the other Security Documents as if such release, settlement or discharge had not occurred and any such
payment had not been made.

the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Pledgee receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the
sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made and the Shareholder shall indemnify the Pledgee against any losses or costs incurred by reason of any failure of the Shareholder to make any such
deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment. The Shareholder shall promptly deliver to the Pledgee any receipts, certificates or other proof evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or

 Letter of Instruction to Classification Society 

To: American Bureau of Shipping 
 Date:

 Dear Sirs 
 Name of ship: m.v.
“Daytona” (the “Ship”) 
 Flag: Malta 
 Name of Owner: Olympian Hera Owners Inc. (the “Owner”) 
 Name of mortgagee: DVB
Bank SE (the “Mortgagee”) 
 We refer to the Ship, which is registered in the ownership of the Owner, and which has been entered
in and classed by American Bureau of Shipping (the “Classification Society”). 
 The Mortgagee has agreed to provide financing
to the Owner upon condition that, among other things, the Owner issues to the Mortgagee this letter of instruction to the Classification Society in the form presented by the Mortgagee. 
 The Owner and the Mortgagee irrevocably and unconditionally instruct and authorise the Classification Society (notwithstanding any previous instructions whatsoever which the Owner may have given to the
Classification Society to the contrary) as follows: 
  

	1	to send to the Mortgagee, following receipt of a written request from the Mortgagee, certified true copies of all original certificates of class and other class records
held by the Classification Society in relation to the Ship; 

  

	2	to allow the Mortgagee (or its agents), at any time and from time to time, to inspect the original class and related records of the Owner and the Ship at the offices of
the Classification Society and to take copies of them and, to the extent possible, to grant the Mortgagee electronic access to such records; 

  

	3	to notify the Mortgagee immediately by email to techcom@dvbbank.com if the Classification Society: 


 

	 	(a)	receives notification from the Owner or any other person that the Ship’s classification society is to be changed; 


 

	 	(b)	imposes a condition of class or issues a class recommendation in respect of the Ship; 


 

	 	(c)	becomes aware of any facts or matters which may result or have resulted in a change, suspension, discontinuance, withdrawal or expiry of the Ship’s class under the
rules or terms and conditions of the Owner’s or the Ship’s membership of the Classification Society; 

  

	4	following receipt of a written request from the Mortgagee: 

  

	 	(a)	to confirm that the Owner is not in default of any of its contractual obligations or liabilities to the Classification Society and, without limiting the foregoing, that
it has paid in full all fees or other charges due and payable to the Classification Society; or 

  

	 	(b)	if the Owner is in default of any of its contractual obligations or liabilities to the Classification Society, to specify to the Mortgagee in reasonable detail the
facts and circumstances of such default, the consequences thereof, and any remedy period agreed or allowed by the Classification Society. 








 Notwithstanding the above instructions given for the benefit of the Mortgagee, the Owner shall continue to
be responsible to the Classification Society for the performance and discharge of all its obligations and liabilities relating to or arising out of or in connection with the contract it has with the Classification Society, and nothing in this letter
should be construed as imposing any obligation or liability on the Mortgagee to the Classification Society in respect thereof. The instructions and authorisations which are contained in this notice shall remain in full force and effect until the
Owner and the Mortgagee together give you notice in writing revoking them. 
 The Owner undertakes to reimburse the Classification Society in
full for any costs or expenses it may incur in complying with the instructions and authorisations referred to in this letter.
