        	5.2	
                No obligations imposed on Mortgagee

        	(a)	
                effect, replace and renew any Insurances;

    If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and irrespective of whether a notice has been served under clause 24.21 (acceleration) of
      the Facility Agreement or a demand made under the Facility Agreement and without the necessity for the Mortgagee to serve any notice or take any other action or for any court order in any jurisdiction to the effect that an Event of Default has

                  whereupon the Facility shall be cancelled and the Loan and all such outstanding interest and amounts will become immediately due and payable Provided that in the case of sub-paragraph (ii) below,
                  the Borrower will first have the option to rectify the Security Cover Ratio within 15 Business Days.

                  accrue, in case of sub-paragraph (i) above, on the Unpaid Sum from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) or, in the case of sub-paragraph (ii) above, on the Loan from the date of occurrence of such
                  Event of Default up to the date of actual remedy or waiver of such breach or Event of Default to the satisfaction of the Lender, at a rate which, subject to paragraph (b) below, is 2 per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would
                  have been payable if the Unpaid Sum had, during the period of non-payment or during which the breach of Event of Default continues, constituted part of the Loan in the currency of the Unpaid Sum for successive Interest Periods, each of a
                  duration selected by the Lender. Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 (Default interest) shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Lender.

                the rate of interest applying to that Unpaid Sum during that first Interest Period shall be 2 per cent. per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if that Unpaid Sum had not become due.

        	(a)	
                In this Agreement:

              


      

    

    "Tax Credit" means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax.

    "Tax Deduction" means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document, other than a FATCA
      Deduction.

    "Tax Payment" means either the increase in a payment made by the Borrower to the Lender under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) or a payment under Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity).

    
      
        	(b)	
                Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Clause 12 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) reference to "determines" or "determined"
                  means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination.

        	(a)	
                The Borrower shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

              


      

    

    
      
        	(b)	
                The Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that the Borrower must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Lender accordingly. Similarly, the Lender shall notify the
                  Borrower and the Borrower on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to the Lender.

              


      

    

    
      
        	(c)	
                If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Borrower, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would
                  have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

              


      

    

    
      
        	(d)	
                If the Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction, the Borrower shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

              


      

    

    
      
        	(e)	
                Within thirty (30) days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Borrower making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender
                  that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

                  or on account of Tax by the Lender in respect of a Finance Document.

              	(i)	
                with respect to any Tax assessed on the Lender:

              


      

    

    
      
        	

              	(A)

        receivable) by the Lender; or

    

    
      
        	

              	(ii)

              	(A)

        	(c)	
                The Lender shall, if making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above, promptly notify the Borrower of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

                Tax Credit

              


      

    

    If the Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the Lender determines that:

    
      
        	(a)	
                a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was received; and

              


      

    

    
      
        	(b)	
                the Lender has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

              


      

    

    the Lender shall pay an amount to the Obligor which the Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax
      Payment not been required to be made by the Obligor.

                Stamp taxes

              


      

    

    The Borrower shall pay and, within five (5) Business Days of written demand, indemnify the Lender against any cost, loss or liability which the Lender incurs in relation to all
      stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

        	(a)	
                All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to the Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable
                  on that supply, and accordingly, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any such supply made by the Lender to any Party under a Finance Document and the Lender is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the relevant VAT (if
                  any), that Party must pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the charged VAT

              


      

    

    
      35

        	(b)	
                Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify the Lender for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Lender for the full amount of such cost or expense, including
                  such part of it as represents VAT (if charged), save to the extent that the Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

              


      

    

    
      
        	(c)	
                Any reference in this Clause 12.6 (VAT) to any Party shall, at any time when that Party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where
                  appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules (provided for in Article 11 of Council
                  Directive 2006/112/EC or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union) each if applicable so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity)
                  of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or representative or head) of that group or unity at the relevant time (as the case may be).

              


      

    

    
      
        	(d)	
                In relation to any supply made by the Lender to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by the Lender, that Party must promptly provide the Lender with details of that Party's VAT registration (if applicable) and
                  such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the Lender's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

      prepay the Loan in accordance with Clause 7.6 (Mandatory prepayment on non-employment of Ship under Qualifying Charter).

        	(a)	
                If the Lender serves a notice on the Borrower under Clause 22.1 (Minimum required security cover), the Borrower shall, on or before the date falling one Month after the date on which the

              	(i)

                Assignment and transfer by the Lender

              


      

    

    Subject to this Clause 25 (Changes to the Lender), the Lender (the "Existing Lender") may assign any of its rights or transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial institution or to
      a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (the "New Lender").

    
      
        	25.2	
                Conditions of assignment or transfer

              


      

    

    
      
        	(a)	
                The Lender shall not be required to consult with the Borrower or obtain the Borrower's written consent in connection with an assignment or transfer by the Lender pursuant to Clause 25.1 (Assignment
                    and transfer by the Lender).

              


      

    

    
      
        	(b)	
                If:

              


      

    

    
      
        	

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

              


      

    

    
      
        	

              	(ii)	
                as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment or change occurs, a Transaction Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or the Existing Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 12
                  (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or under that clause as incorporated by reference or in full in any other Finance Document or Clause 13 (Increased Costs),

              


      

    

    then the New Lender or the Existing Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing
      Lender would have been if the assignment or change had not occurred.

    
      
        	(c)	
                The Borrower on behalf of itself and each Transaction Obligor agrees that all rights and interests (present, future or contingent) which the Existing Lender has under or by virtue of the Finance Documents are assigned to the New Lender
                  absolutely, free of any defects in the Existing Lender's title and of any rights or equities which the Borrower or any other Transaction Obligor had against the Existing Lender.

              


      

    

    
      
        	25.3	
                Security over Lender's rights

              


      

    

    In addition to the other rights provided to the Lender under this Clause 25 (Changes to the Lender), the Lender may without consulting
      with or obtaining consent from any Transaction Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of the
      Lender including, without limitation:

    
      
        	(a)	
                any charge, assignment or other Security to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

              


      

    

    
      74

      
        


    

    
      
        	(b)	
                if the Lender is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by the Lender as security for those obligations or
                  securities,

              


      

    

    except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

    
      
        	

              	(i)	
                release the Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Security for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

              


      

    

    
      
        	

              	(ii)	
                require any payments to be made by a Transaction Obligor other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to the Lender under the Finance Documents.

                Assignment or transfer by Transaction Obligors

        	(a)	
                No Reference Bank is under any obligation to provide a quotation or any other information to the Lender.

              


      

    

    
      
        	(b)

    If either the Lender determines (in its discretion) that a Disruption Event has occurred or the Lender is notified by the Borrower that a Disruption Event has occurred which
      negatively affects the ability of the Borrower to repay the Loan and at the same has a Material Adverse Effect:

    
      
        	(a)	
                the Lender may, and shall if requested to do so by the Borrower, consult with the Borrower with a view to agreeing with the Borrower such changes to the operation or administration of the Facility as the Lender may deem necessary in
                  the circumstances;

                  Transaction Obligors as an amendment to (or, as the case may be, waiver of) the terms of the Finance Documents;

      obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

                Accounts

              


      

    

    In any litigation or arbitration proceedings arising out of or in connection with a Finance Document, the entries made in the accounts maintained by the Lender are (in the
      absence of manifest error) prima facie evidence of the matters to which they relate.

    
      
        	33.2	
                Certificates and determinations

                PARTIAL INVALIDITY

              


      

    

    If, at any time, any provision of a Finance Document is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality,
      validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions under the law of that jurisdiction nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

    No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender or any Receiver or Delegate, any right or remedy under a Finance Document shall operate as a waiver
      of any such right or remedy or constitute an election to affirm any Finance Document. No election to affirm any Finance Document on the part of the Lender or any Receiver or Delegate shall be effective unless
      it is in writing. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy shall prevent any

    
      80

      
        


    

    further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in each Finance Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights

                SETTLEMENT OR DISCHARGE CONDITIONAL

              


      

    

    Any settlement or discharge under any Finance Document between the Lender and any Transaction Obligor shall be conditional upon no security or payment to the Lender by any
      Transaction Obligor or any other person being set aside, adjusted or ordered to be repaid, whether under any insolvency law or otherwise.

    
      
        	37	
                IRREVOCABLE PAYMENT

              


      

    

    If the Lender considers that an amount paid or discharged by, or on behalf of, a Transaction Obligor or by any other person in purported payment or discharge of an obligation of
      that Transaction Obligor to the Lender under the Finance Documents is capable of being avoided or otherwise set aside on the liquidation or administration of that Transaction Obligor or otherwise, then that amount shall not be considered to have been
      unconditionally and irrevocably paid or discharged for the purposes of the Finance Documents.

    Without prejudice to the generality of Clauses 1.2 (Construction), the Borrower expressly confirms that it intends that any guarantee
      contained in this Agreement or any other Finance Document and any Security created by any Finance Document shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents
      and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be

      available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

        	(c)

        	39.3	
                Entire agreement

              


      

    

    This Clause 39 (Confidential Information) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties in relation to the obligations of the
      Lender under the Finance Documents regarding Confidential Information and supersedes any previous agreement, whether express or implied, regarding Confidential Information.

    
      
        	39.4	
                Inside information

      prohibited by applicable legislation including securities law relating to insider dealing and market abuse and the Lender undertakes not to use any Confidential Information for any unlawful purpose.

    
      
        	39.5	
                Notification of disclosure

              


      

    

    The Lender agrees (to the extent permitted by law and regulation) to inform the Borrower:

    
      
        	(a)	
                of the circumstances of any disclosure of Confidential Information made pursuant to sub-paragraph (v) of paragraph (b) of Clause 39.2 (Disclosure of
                    Confidential Information) except where such disclosure is made to any of the persons referred to in that paragraph during the ordinary course of its supervisory or regulatory function; and

              


      

    

    
      
        	(b)	
                upon becoming aware that Confidential Information has been disclosed in breach of this Clause 39 (Confidential Information).

              


      

    

    
      83

      
        


    

    
      
        	39.6	
                Continuing obligations

              


      

    

    The obligations in this Clause 39 (Confidential Information) are continuing and, in particular, shall survive and remain binding on the
      Lender for a period of 12 months from the earlier of:

    
      
        	(a)	
                the date on which all amounts payable by the Borrower under or in connection with this Agreement have been paid in full and the Commitment has been cancelled or otherwise ceased to be available; and

              


      

    

    
      
        	(b)	
                the date on which the Lender otherwise ceases to be the Lender.

              


      

    

    For the avoidance of doubt nothing in this Clause prohibits any Transaction Obligor from making appropriate disclosures to the US SEC in compliance with the relevant reporting
      obligations of the Corporate Guarantor.
