Total Loss,), provided always that the value of the replacement vessel may be less than the latest Market Value of the Vessel if the Borrower prepays, at the time of substitution, an amount of the Loan relating to such Vessel equal to the difference
between the value of the replacement vessel and the latest Market Value of the Vessel (discounting the effects of any Total Loss upon the value of the Vessel (); and 

  

	 	(iii)	with the same or a similar remaining useful life as the Vessel, 

  
 such determinations to be made by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) (the Replacement Vessel).

prior to the proposed date of substitution (the Substitution Date) and shall be accompanied by evidence of compliance by the Borrower with the conditions specified in Clause 6.6(a) above. 

  

	 	(c)	Subject to satisfaction of the above conditions in full, the Facility Agent shall agree to the replacement of the Vessel by the Replacement Vessel on the Substitution Date provided
that: 

  

	 	(i)	as at the date of the Replacement Request and at the Substitution Date, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

  

	 	(ii)	there are no material and adverse tax, credit or other relevant implications which it is possible may arise as a result of the substitution; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Facility Agent has received a survey in respect of the Replacement Vessel, reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent; and 

  

	 	(iv)	on or prior to the Substitution Date, the Borrower will have executed equivalent Security Documents in relation to the Replacement Vessel, including but not limited to a first
priority ship mortgage in a jurisdiction acceptable to the Facility Agent, an assignment of the earnings, obligatory insurances and any management and charter arrangements in respect of the Replacement Vessel, and such other security documents as
the Agent may in its sole discretion determine appropriate in order to place the Finance Parties in substantially the same position in all respects (mutatis mutandis) as they would have been in prior to the Substitution Date.

	 	(iii)	any increase in Mandatory Cost above the level of Mandatory Cost prevailing at the date of this Agreement (together, the Interest Rate).

	 	 	32	 	21 July 2005










	 	(b)	If the overdue amount is a principal amount of a Loan or is an amount accruing in respect of interest on a Loan and becomes due and payable prior to the last day of its current
Term, then: 

  

	 	(i)	the first Term for that overdue amount will be the unexpired portion of that Term and the rate of interest on the overdue amount for that first Term will be two (2) per cent. per
annum above the Interest Rate; and 

  

	 	(ii)	thereafter, any subsequent Term for that overdue amount shall be selected by the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders, acting reasonably) who may
select successive Terms of any duration up to six (6) months, and the rate of interest on the overdue amount will be two (2) per cent. per annum above the Interest Rate. 

  
 After the expiry of the first Term for that overdue amount, the rate on the overdue amount will be calculated in accordance
with paragraph (c) below. 
  

	 	(c)	In respect of any amounts outstanding other than in accordance with paragraph (b) above, interest on such overdue amount is payable at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be
two (2) per cent. per annum above the Interest Rate. For this purpose, the Facility Agent may (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders, acting reasonably) select successive Terms of any duration of up to six (6) months.


  

	 	(d)	Interest (if unpaid) on an overdue amount will be compounded with that overdue amount at the end of each of its Terms but will remain immediately due and payable.

 The first Term for the Drawing under a Loan will commence on its Utilisation Date and each subsequent Term shall commence on the last day of the previous

	 	(ii)	the Facility Agent receives by close of business on the Rate Fixing Day notification from any Lender or Lenders whose aggregate shares in the relevant Loan exceed 35 per cent. of

	 	(b)	The Facility Agent must promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of a market disruption event. 

  

	 	(c)	After notification under paragraph (b) above, the rate of interest on the affected Loan for the relevant Term will be the aggregate of the applicable: 

  

	 	(i)	Margin; 

  

	 	(ii)	the rate notified to the Facility Agent by those Lenders as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Term, to be that which

	 	(b)	If a Tax Deduction is required by an Applicable Law to be made by the Borrower or, as the case may be, the Facility Agent, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower will be
increased, or, as the case may be, the Borrower shall make an additional payment, so that the amount (after making the Tax Deduction) received by the recipient is equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.


  

	 	(c)	If the Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction, the Borrower must make the minimum Tax Deduction and must make any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within
the time allowed by the Applicable Law. 

  

	 	(d)	Within fifteen (15) days of making either a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection with a Tax Deduction the Borrower must deliver to the Facility Agent for the relevant
Finance Party, documents or other information (or certified copies thereof) evidencing satisfactorily to that Finance Party (acting reasonably) that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) the appropriate payment has been paid to the
relevant taxing authority. 

  

	10.2	Tax Indemnity 

  
 Without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 10.1 (Tax gross-up), if any Lender is required to make any payment on account of Tax solely as a result of
its entry into any Finance Document (not being a Tax imposed on the net income of a Lender or its Facility Office by the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, or the jurisdiction in which its Facility Office is located or on the capital of that
Lender employed in such jurisdiction or jurisdictions) on any sum received or receivable under the Finance Documents (including, without limitation, any sum received or receivable under this Clause 10.2) or any liability in respect of any such
payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against a Lender, the Borrower shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) indemnify that Lender against such payment or liability, together with any interest, penalties and
expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith. 
  

	10.3	Tax Credit 

  
 If a Lender or, as the case may be, the Facility Agent determines in its absolute discretion, acting in good faith, that it has received, realised,
utilised and retained a Tax benefit by reason of any deduction or withholding in respect of which the Borrower has made an increased payment or paid a compensating sum under this Clause 10 that Lender or, as the case may be, the Facility Agent
shall, provided it has received all amounts which are then due and payable by the Borrower under any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, pay to the Borrower (to the extent that that Lender or, as the case may be, the
Facility Agent can do so without prejudicing the amount of that benefit and the right of that Lender, or as the case may be, the Facility Agent to obtain any other benefit, relief or allowance which may be available to it), such amount, if any, as
that Lender, or as the case may be, the Facility Agent shall determine in its absolute discretion acting in good faith, will leave that Lender, or as the case may be, the Facility Agent in no better and no worse position than it would have been in
if the deduction or withholding had not been required and so that it retains no benefit as a result of the receipt of such deduction. 
  


					
	 	 	35	 	21 July 2005










	10.4	Confidentiality of Tax Affairs

has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower. 
  

	10.5	Conduct of Business by the Finance Parties

with the entry into, performance or enforcement of any Finance Document, except for any such Tax payable in connection with entering into a Transfer Certificate. 
  

	10.7	Value added taxes 

  
 Any amount (including costs and expenses) payable under a Finance Document by the Borrower is exclusive of any value added tax or any other Tax of a
similar nature which might be chargeable in connection with that amount. If any such Tax is chargeable, the Borrower must pay to the relevant Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying that amount) an amount equal to the amount of
that Tax.

to claim performance thereof in its own name and not as agent acting on behalf of the relevant Finance Parties. The Borrower and the Facility Agent acknowledge that for this purpose such obligations of the Borrower are several and are separate and
independent from, and without prejudice to, the identical obligations which the Borrower has to the Finance Parties under the relevant Finance Documents, provided that this shall not, at the same time, result in the Borrower incurring an aggregate
obligation to any such Finance Parties under the Finance Documents. To this end and without prejudice to the foregoing, it is agreed that (a) the amounts due and payable by the Borrower under this Clause 20.9 (the Parallel Debt) shall be
decreased to the extent that the Borrower paid any amounts to the Finance Parties or any of them in respect of the Secured Liabilities and vice versa and (b) the Parallel Debt shall not exceed the aggregate of the corresponding obligations which the
Borrower has to the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents. 

  

	 	(b)	Nothing in this Clause shall in any way negate, affect or increase the obligations of the Borrower to any Finance Parties under the Finance Documents in respect of the Secured
Liabilities. For the purpose of this Clause, the Facility Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent or representative of any other party hereto and any security granted to the Facility Agent to secure the Parallel Debt is
granted to the Facility Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt and solely for the purpose referred to above.

	27.3	Change of currency 

  
 If a change in any currency of a country occurs (including where there is more than one currency or currency unit recognised at the same time as the
lawful currency of a country), the Finance Documents will be amended to the extent the Facility Agent (acting reasonably and on the instructions of the Majority Lenders and after consultation with the Borrower) determines is necessary to reflect the
change. 
  

	27.4	Waivers and remedies cumulative 

  
 The rights of each Finance Party under the Finance Documents: 
  

	 	(a)	may be exercised as often as necessary; 

  

	 	(b)	are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general law; and 

  

	 	(c)	may be waived only in writing and specifically. 

  
 Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right is not a waiver of that right.

	28.	CHANGES TO THE PARTIES 

  

	28.1	Assignments and transfers by Borrower 

  
 The Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents without the prior consent of all the Lenders.

  

	28.2	Assignments and transfers by Lenders 

  

	 	(a)	A Lender (the Existing Lender) may, subject to the following provisions of this Subclause, at any time assign or transfer (including by way of novation) any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to another bank, financial institution or to a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or otherwise investing in loans, securities or other
financial assets (the New Lender), provided always that: 

  

	 	(i)	each assignment or transfer shall be uniform, and not a varying percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement; 

  

	 	(ii)	each assignment or transfer shall not result in increased liability to the Borrower; 

  

	 	(iii)	the Facility Agent shall provide to the Borrower details of the proposed new lenders at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the proposed transfer date and the Borrower shall
approve or object to the identity of any one or more of the proposed new lenders on such list (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The relevant Lender shall be entitled to effect a transfer or assignment to any proposed new
lender on such list to which the Borrower has not objected on reasonable grounds within such seven (7) Business Day period; 

  

	 	(iv)	the Existing Lender shall first offer to transfer or assign its rights to a lender participating in an Existing Credit Facility. The lender will be deemed to have rejected the offer
if such lender has not accepted within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the offer; 

  

	 	(v)	during primary syndication the number of Lenders shall not exceed 20 unless the prior written consent of the Borrower is obtained (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);


  

	 	(vi)	following primary syndication, the Arrangers shall use their best commercial efforts to maintain the number of Lenders at twenty (20) and at no time shall the number of Lenders
exceed twenty five (25) unless the prior written consent of the Borrower is obtained (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). 

  

	 	(b)	Unless the Borrower otherwise agrees (acting reasonably), a transfer of part of a Commitment or the rights and obligations under this Agreement by the Existing Lender must be in a
minimum amount of twenty five million Dollars (US$25,000,000) unless the Commitment of the Existing Lender is less than such amount in which case the whole of the Commitment of the Existing Lender may be transferred. 

  

	 	(c)	A transfer of part of a Commitment or the rights and obligations under this Agreement by the Existing Lender will be pro rata between its Tranche A Commitments and its
Tranche B Commitments. 

  

	 	(d)	A transfer of obligations will be effective only if either: 

  

	 	(i)	the obligations are novated in accordance with the following provisions of this Clause 28; or 

  


					
	 	 	84	 	21 July 2005










	 	(ii)	the New Lender confirms to the Facility Agent and the Borrower in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Facility Agent and the Borrower that it is bound by the terms of
this Agreement. 

  

	 	(e)	On the transfer becoming effective in this manner, the relevant Lender will be released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that they are transferred to the New
Lender. 

  

	 	(f)	Any reference in this Agreement to a Lender includes a New Lender but excludes a Lender if no amount is or may be owed to or by it under this Agreement. 

  

	28.3	Procedure for transfer by way of novations 

  

	 	(a)	In this Subclause: 

  
 Transfer Date means, for a Transfer Certificate, the later of: 
  

	 	(i)	the proposed Transfer Date specified in that Transfer Certificate; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the date on which the Facility Agent executes that Transfer Certificate. 

  

	 	(b)	A novation is effected if: 

  

	 	(i)	the Existing Lender and the New Lender deliver to the Facility Agent a duly completed Transfer Certificate; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Facility Agent executes it. 

  

	 	(c)	On the Transfer Date: 

  

	 	(i)	the New Lender will assume the rights and obligations of the Existing Lender expressed to be the subject of the novation in the Transfer Certificate in substitution for the Lender;
and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Existing Lender will be released from those obligations and cease to have those rights. 

  

	 	(d)	Each Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to execute any duly completed Transfer Certificate on its behalf.


  

	28.4	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lender 

  

	 	(a)	Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender is not responsible to a New Lender for: 

  

	 	(i)	the legality, validity, effectiveness, completeness, accuracy, adequacy or enforceability of any Finance Document or any other document; 

  

	 	(ii)	the financial condition of the Borrower; 

  

	 	(iii)	the performance and observance by the Borrower of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or 

  


					
	 	 	85	 	21 July 2005










	 	(iv)	the accuracy of any statement or information (whether written or oral) made in or supplied in connection with any Finance Document, 

  
 and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

  

	 	(b)	Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender that it: 

  

	 	(i)	has made, and will continue to make, its own independent appraisal of all risks arising under or in connection with the Finance Documents (including the financial condition and
affairs of the Borrower and its related entities and the nature and extent of any recourse against any Party or its assets) in connection with its participation in this Agreement; and 

  

	 	(ii)	has not relied exclusively on any information supplied to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any Finance Document. 

  

	 	(c)	Nothing in any Finance Document requires an Existing Lender to: 

  

	 	(i)	accept a re-transfer from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause; or 

  

	 	(ii)	support any losses incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by the Borrower of its obligations under any Finance Document or otherwise. 


 

	28.5	Costs resulting from change of Lender or Facility Office 

  
 If: 
  

	 	(a)	a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and 

  

	 	(b)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date of assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrower would be obliged to pay a Tax Payment or an Increased Cost,


  
 then, unless the assignment, transfer or change
is made by a Lender to mitigate any circumstances giving rise to a Tax Payment, Increased Cost or a right to be prepaid and/or cancelled by reason of illegality, the Borrower need only pay that Tax Payment or Increased Cost to the same extent that
it would have been obliged to if no assignment, transfer or change had occurred. 
  

	28.6	Changes to the Reference Banks 

  
 If a Reference Bank (or, if a Reference Bank is not a Lender, the Lender of which it is an Affiliate) ceases to be a Lender, the Facility Agent must (in
consultation with the Borrower) appoint another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender to replace that Reference Bank. 
  

	29.	DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION 

  
 Each Finance Party may disclose such information as that Finance Party shall consider appropriate in respect of information supplied to it, by or on
behalf of the Borrower, the Seaspan Group, the Charterers or the Finance Documents to: 
  

	 	(a)	in the case of any other Finance Party, any of its Affiliates; or 

  

	 	(b)	 any other person who has not been objected to by the Borrower pursuant to Clause 27.2(a)(C) (Assignments and transfers by Lenders), to (or through) whom an Existing




  


					
	 	 	86	 	21 July 2005









 
Lender assigns or transfers (or may potentially assign or transfer) all or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or with (or through) whom a
Lender enters into (or may potentially enter into) any sub-participation in relation to, or any other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to, this Agreement or the Borrower; or 
  

	 	(c)	any person to whom, and to the extent that, information is required to be disclosed by any Applicable Law; or 

  

	 	(d)	any other Finance Party; or 

  

	 	(e)	to its and the Borrower’ professional advisors, 

  
 PROVIDED ALWAYS that, in relation to paragraph (b) above, the person to whom the information is to be given has entered into a Confidentiality
Undertaking. Except as provided in this Clause, a Lender may not disclose any information about the Borrower, the Seaspan Group, the Charterers or the Finance Documents to any person. 
  

	30.	SET-OFF 

  
 A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation owed to it by the Borrower under the Finance Documents against any obligation (whether or not matured)
owed by that Finance Party to the Borrower, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, that Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of
exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off. 
  

	31.	PRO RATA SHARING 

  

	31.1	Redistribution 

  
 If any amount owing by the Borrower under this Agreement to a Lender (the recovering Lender) is discharged by payment, set-off or any other manner
other than through the Facility Agent under this Agreement (a recovery), then: 
  

	 	(a)	the recovering Lender must, within three (3) Business Days, supply details of the recovery to the Facility Agent; 

  

	 	(b)	the Facility Agent must calculate whether the recovery is in excess of the amount which the recovering Lender would have received if the recovery had been received by the Facility
Agent under this Agreement; and 

  

	 	(c)	the recovering Lender must pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to such excess (the redistribution). 

  

	31.2	Effect of redistribution 

  

	 	(a)	The Facility Agent must treat a redistribution as if it were a payment by the Borrower under this Agreement and distribute it among the Lenders, other than the recovering Lender,
accordingly. 

  

	 	(b)	When the Facility Agent makes a distribution under paragraph (a) above, the recovering Lender will be subrogated to the rights of the Finance Parties which have shared in that
redistribution. 

  


					
	 	 	87	 	21 July 2005










	 	(c)	If and to the extent that the recovering Lender is not able to rely on any rights of subrogation under paragraph (b) above, the Borrower will owe the recovering Lender a debt which
is equal to the redistribution, immediately payable and of the type originally discharged. 

  

	 	(d)	If: 

  

	 	(i)	a recovering Lender must subsequently return a recovery, or an amount measured by reference to a recovery, to the Borrower; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the recovering Lender has paid a redistribution in relation to that recovery, 

  

each Finance Party must reimburse the recovering Lender all or the appropriate portion of the redistribution paid to that Finance Party, together with
interest for the period while it held the re-distribution. In this event, the subrogation in paragraph (b) above will operate in reverse to the extent of the reimbursement. 
  

	31.3	Exceptions 

  
 Notwithstanding any other term of this Clause, a recovering Lender need not pay a redistribution to the extent that: 
  

	 	(a)	it would not, after the payment, have a valid claim against the Borrower in the amount of the redistribution; or 

  

	 	(b)	it would be sharing with another Finance Party any amount which the recovering Lender has received or recovered as a result of legal or arbitration proceedings, where:


  

	 	(i)	the recovering Lender notified the Facility Agent of those proceedings; and 

  

	 	(ii)	the other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those proceedings but did not do so or did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings as soon as reasonably
practicable after receiving notice of them. 

  

	32.	SEVERABILITY 

  
 If a term of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect: 
  

	 	(a)	the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other term of the Finance Documents; or 

  

	 	(b)	the legality, validity or enforceability in other jurisdictions of that or any other term of the Finance Documents. 

  

	33.	COUNTERPARTS 

  
 Each Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile provided that original signed copies are provided within a reasonable
period of time thereafter. This has the same effect as if the signatures on the counterparts were on a single copy of the Finance Document.

 SCHEDULE 5 
  

CALCULATION OF THE MANDATORY COST 
  

	1.	General 

  
 The Mandatory Cost is the weighted average of the rates calculated below by the Facility Agent on the first day of a Term. The Facility Agent must
distribute each amount of Mandatory Cost among the Lenders on the basis of the rate for each Lender. 
  

	2.	For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. 

  

	(a)	The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in the U.K. is the arithmetic mean of the rates notified by each of the Reference Banks to the Facility Agent and
calculated in accordance with the following formulae: 

  
 

 
  
 where on the day of application of
the formula: 
  

	 	E	is the charge payable by the Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority under the fees rules (but, for this purpose, calculated by the Facility Agent on a notional basis as
being the average of the fee tariffs within fee-block Category A1 (Deposit acceptors) of the fees rules, applying any applicable discount and ignoring any minimum fee required under the fees rules) and expressed in pounds per £1 million of the
tariff base of that Reference Bank. 

  

	(b)	For the purposes of this paragraph 2: 

  

	 	(i)	eligible liabilities and special deposit have the meanings given to them at the time of application of the formula by the Bank of England; 

  

	 	(ii)	fees rules means the then current rules on periodic fees in the Supervision Manual of the FSA Handbook; and 

  

	 	(iii)	tariff base has the meaning given to it in the fees rules. 

  

	(c)	Each rate calculated in accordance with a formula is, if necessary, rounded upward to four decimal places. 

  

	(d)      (i)	Each Reference Bank must supply to the Facility Agent the information required by it to make a calculation of the rate for that Reference Bank. The Facility Agent may assume that
this information is correct in all respects. 

  

	 	(ii)	If a Reference Bank fails to do so, the Facility Agent may assume that the Reference Bank’s obligations in respect of cash ratio deposits, special deposits and the fees rules
are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office. 

  

	 	(iii)	The Facility Agent has no liability to any Party if its calculation over or under compensates any Lender. 

  


					
	 	 	8	 	21 July 2005










	3.	For a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State 

  

	 	(a)	The relevant rate for a Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State is the percentage rate per annum notified by that Lender to the Facility Agent as its
cost of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank. 

  

	 	(b)	If a Lender fails to specify a rate under paragraph (a) above, the Facility Agent will assume that the Lender has not incurred any such cost. 

  

	3.	Changes 

  
 The Facility Agent may, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, notify all the Parties of any amendment to this Schedule which is required
to reflect: 
  

	 	(i)	any change in law or regulation; or 

  

	 	(ii)	any requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any successor authority). 


 
 Any notification will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive
and binding on all the Parties.
