SECTION 5 - COSTS OF UTILIZATION



	8	Interest






	8.1	Calculation of interest





The rate of interest on each Advance for each Interest Period relative to such Advance is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:



		(a)	Margin; and






		(b)	LIBOR.






	8.2	Payment of interest





The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Advance on the last day of each Interest Period relative to such Advance. However, if the Interest Period is greater than three (3) months, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Advance quarterly.

		(i)	the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to such Advance; and

	10	Changes to the calculation of interest






	10.1	Absence of quotations





Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11:00 a.m. London time on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

		(a)	the person claiming such indemnity or additional amounts was not an original party to this agreement and under applicable law (after taking into account relevant treaties and assuming that such person has provided all forms it may legally and truthfully provide) on the date such person became a party to this Agreement, a Withholding would have been required on such payment, provided that this exclusion shall not apply to the extent such indemnity or additional amounts do not exceed the indemnity or additional amounts that would have been applicable if such payment had been made to the person from whom such person acquired its rights under the Agreement, and this exclusion shall not apply to the extent that such indemnity or additional amounts exceed the indemnity or additional amounts that would have been required under the law in effect on the date such person became a party to this Agreement; or






		(b)	the person claiming such indemnity or additional amounts is a Lender which has changed its Lending Office and under applicable law (after taking into account relevant treaties and assuming that such Lender has provided all forms it may legally and truthfully provide) on the date such Lender changed its Lending Office Withholding would have been required on such payment, provided that this exclusion shall not apply to the extent such indemnity or additional amounts do not exceed the indemnity or additional amounts that would have been applicable to such payment if such Lender had not changed its Lending Office, and this exclusion shall not apply to the extent that the indemnity or additional amounts exceed the indemnity or additional amounts that would have been required under the law in effect immediately after such Lender changed its Lending Office; or

		(a)	Upon the reasonable written request of the Borrower, each Lender or transferee that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two properly completed and duly executed copies of (as applicable) IRS Form W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or, upon written request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case claiming such reduced rate (which may be zero) of U.S.






-54-












Federal withholding tax under Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code with respect to payments of interest hereunder as such Non-U.S. Lender may properly claim. In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Non-U.S. Lender shall, when so requested in writing by the Borrower provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in addition to the IRS Form W-8BEN-E required above a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in the event any representation in such certificate is no longer accurate.



		(b)	In the event that Withholding taxes may be imposed under the laws of any Pertinent Jurisdiction (other than the United States or any political subdivision or taxing jurisdiction thereof or therein) in respect of payments on the Loan or other amounts due under this Agreement and if certain documentation provided by a Lender could reduce or eliminate such Withholding taxes under the laws of such Pertinent Jurisdiction or any treaty to which the Pertinent Jurisdiction is a party, then, upon written request by an Obligor, a Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, such Withholding tax shall deliver to such Obligor (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or promptly after receipt of the Obligor's request, whichever is later, such properly completed and executed documentation requested by the Obligor, if any, as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or delivery would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

-55-


















		(b)	If a FATCA Relevant Party confirms to any other FATCA Relevant Party that it is a FATCA Exempt Party or provides an IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-9 to show that it is a FATCA Exempt Party, and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that party shall so notify all other FATCA Relevant Parties reasonably promptly.






		(c)	Nothing in this Clause 12.9 shall obligate any FATCA Relevant Party to do anything which would or, in its reasonable opinion, might constitute a breach of any law or regulation, any policy of that party, any fiduciary duty or any duty of confidentiality, or to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns and calculations); provided that nothing in this paragraph shall excuse any FATCA Relevant Party from providing a true complete and correct IRS Form W-8 or W-9 (or any successor or substitute form where applicable).

until (in each case) such time as the party in question provides sufficient confirmation, forms, documentation or other information to establish the relevant facts.



	12.10	FATCA withholding

		(c)	Each FATCA Relevant Party shall promptly upon becoming aware that a FATCA Deduction is required with respect to any payment owed to it (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify each other FATCA Relevant Party accordingly.

		(a)	set off against any claims in respect of the Ship any premiums due in respect of any of such other vessels insured (other than other Mortgaged Ships); or






		(b)	cancel that cover because of non-payment of premiums in respect of such other vessels,





or the Obligors shall ensure that hull cover for the Ship and the other Mortgaged Ships is provided under a separate policy from any other vessels.



-88-

		(b)	At least fourteen (14) days before any of the Insurances are due to expire, the Security Agent (with copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be told of the names of the brokers, insurers and associations proposed to be used for the renewal of such Insurances (if such brokers, insurers and associations shall be different to those previously notified to the Security Agent (with copy to the Administrative Agent)) and the amounts, risks and terms in, against and on which the Insurances are proposed to be renewed.

	23.20	Declarations and returns





If any of the Ship's Insurances are on terms that require a declaration, certificate or other document to be made or filed before the Ship sails to, or operates within, an area, those terms shall be complied with within the time and in the manner required by those Insurances.



	23.21	Application of recoveries





All sums paid under the Ship's Insurances to anyone other than the Security Agent shall be applied in repairing the damage and/or in discharging the liability in respect of which they have been paid except to the extent that the repairs have already been paid for and/or the liability already discharged.



-90-













	23.22	Settlement of claims





No Obligor shall settle, compromise or abandon any claim under any obligatory insurance for Total Loss or for a Major Casualty, and each Obligor shall do all things necessary and provide all documents, evidence and information (including, without limitation, a written confirmation from the relevant insurers, to be issued within 180 days after the Total Loss Date, that the claim in respect of the Total Loss has been accepted in full by such insurers) to enable the Security Agent to collect or recover any moneys which at any time become payable in respect of the obligatory insurances.



	23.23	Change in insurance requirements





If the Administrative Agent gives a notice to the Obligors to change the terms and requirements of this Clause 23 (which the Administrative Agent may only do, in such manner as it considers necessary, as a result in change of circumstances or practice after the date of this Agreement), this Clause 23 shall be modified in the manner so notified by the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Agent on the date 14 days after such notice from the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Agent is received by the Obligors and not contested in good faith.



	23.24	Failure to insure





If any Obligor fails to maintain the Insurances in compliance with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or any other Finance Party, may, but are not obliged to (without prior prejudice to any other rights of the Finance Parties under this Agreement) effect and maintain Insurances satisfactory to it or otherwise remedy such Obligor's failure in such manner as such person reasonably considers appropriate. Any sums so expended by it will immediately become due and payable by the Obligors to such Finance Party together with interest thereon at the default interest rate calculated in accordance with Clause 8.3(a) (Default interest) from the date of expenditure by it up to the date of reimbursement by the Obligors.



	24	Minimum security value





The Borrower undertakes that this Clause 24 will be complied with throughout any Mortgage Period.



	24.1	Valuation of assets





For the purpose of the Finance Documents, the aggregate value at any time of the Mortgaged Ships or any other asset over which additional security is provided under this Clause 24 will be the values as most recently determined in accordance with this Clause 24.



	24.2	Valuation frequency






		(a)	Initial valuations of each Ship (the "Initial Valuations") shall be conducted in accordance with this Clause 24 and shall be done not earlier than 30 days but not later than 5 days before each Utilization Date.






		(b)	So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, valuations of each Mortgaged Ship and each such other asset in accordance with this Clause 24 shall be conducted semi-annually, with the first such valuation, following the Initial Valuations, occurring every 6 months commencing on June 30, 2015, and shall be provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent within 1 month of June 30 and December 31 of each respective year.






		(c)	Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, for Ships built in the same year and with similar specifications, only 1 valuation is required for all such Ships.






-91-













		(d)	Following the occurrence of a Default which is continuing, the Administrative Agent may request valuations at any time.






		(e)	The Administrative Agent may at any time request additional valuations from Approved Valuers for any Mortgaged Ship (based on objective grounds communicated to the Borrower before such request for valuation).






		(f)	All valuations for the Ships must be addressed to the Administrative Agent.






	24.3	Expenses of valuation





The Borrower shall bear, and reimburse to the Administrative Agent where incurred by the Administrative Agent (or the Lenders, as the case may be), all costs and expenses of providing the valuations provided pursuant to Clauses 24.2(a), 24.2(b), 24.2(c) or 24.2(d) (Valuation frequency). Any valuation conducted pursuant to Clause 24.2(e) (Valuation frequency) shall be for the requesting Finance Party's own account except where the Borrower is by means of such valuation(s) (for the avoidance of doubt, the value for such valuation shall be the average of the valuations provided by two Approved Valuers or as otherwise provided in Clause 24.10 (Appointment and Number of valuers)) shown to be in breach of Clause 24.11 (Security shortfall).



	24.4	Valuations procedure





The value of each Mortgaged Ship shall be determined in accordance with, and by Approved Valuers appointed in accordance with, this Clause 24. Additional security provided under this Clause 24 shall be valued in such a way, on such a basis and by such persons (including the Administrative Agent itself) as may be approved or as may be agreed in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (on the instructions of the Required Lender).



	24.5	Currency of valuation





Valuations must be provided by Approved Valuers in dollars.



	24.6	Basis of valuation





Each valuation will be made:



		(a)	without physical inspection (unless required by the Required Lenders if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing);






		(b)	on the basis of a sale for prompt delivery for a price payable in full in cash on delivery at arm's length on normal commercial terms between a willing buyer and a willing seller; and






		(c)	without taking into account any charter commitment.






	24.7	Information required for valuation





The Borrower shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent and any Approved Valuer any information which they reasonably require for the purposes of providing such a valuation, including, without limitation, if a physical inspection of the Ships is required for such purpose pursuant to Clause 24.6(a) (Basis of valuation), then the Borrower shall take all steps necessary to facilitate such inspection.



	24.8	Approval of valuers






-92-












Other than the Approved Valuers, all additional valuers must have been approved by the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders) such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Administrative Agent may from time to time notify the Borrower of approval of one or more additional independent ship valuers as Approved Valuers for the purposes of this Clause 24. The Administrative Agent (after having been so instructed by the Required Lenders) shall respond promptly to any request by the Borrower for approval of any additional valuer nominated by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent (acting reasonably and on the instructions of the Required Lenders) may at any time after consultation with the Borrower and by notice to the Security Agent, withdraw any previous approval of an Approved Valuer for the purposes of future valuations, provided that, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower cannot agree after five (5) Business Days of consultation, the Administrative Agent may, acting reasonably, exercise such right of withdrawal by notice to the Borrower. If there are less than three Approved Valuers at a time when a valuation is required under this Clause 24, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Security Agent of the name of one additional valuer to be approved by the Required Lenders.








	24.9	Intentionally omitted






	24.10	Appointment and Number of valuers





Each valuation must be carried out by two Approved Valuers, nominated by the Administrative Agent for each Initial Valuation and by the Borrower for semi-annual valuations. If the Borrower fails to promptly, but in any event, no later than 10 days prior to the relevant valuation date, nominate the Approved Valuers then the Administrative Agent (acting on the instruction of the Required Lenders) may nominate the Approved Valuers. If the valuation provided by the two Approved Valuers differs, the value of the relevant Ship for the purposes of the Finance Documents will be the average of those valuations; provided, however, that if the difference between such valuations is greater than 15% with respect to the lower valuation, the Parties agree to an additional valuation by a third Approved Valuer appointed by the Borrower and the value of the relevant Ship for the purposes of the Finance Documents shall be the average of all three valuations. In the event that an Approved Valuer provides a range for the valuations, the average of those valuations shall apply.



	24.11	Security shortfall





If at any time the Security Value is less than the Minimum Value, the Administrative Agent may, and shall, if so directed by the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower require that such deficiency be remedied. The Borrower shall then within 14 days of receipt of such notice ensure that the Security Value equals or exceeds the Minimum Value. For this purpose, the Borrower or the Guarantors may:



		(a)	provide additional security over other assets, acceptable to the Required Lenders, in accordance with this Clause 24, provided always that if such other asset shall be a vessel such vessel shall be valued as if it were a Mortgaged Ship; and/or






		(b)	prepay part of the Loan under Clause 7.4(a)(ii) (Voluntary prepayment); and/or






		(c)	pay such additional amount to the credit of such interest bearing blocked account (which is the subject of a Security Interest in favor of the Security Agent) as the Administrative Agent shall nominate.





Provided that if the Borrower or the Guarantors elect pursuant to this Clause 24.11(c) to rectify a shortfall in the minimum security cover through the pledge of a cash deposit in favor of the Security Agent, the amount of the deposit shall, for the purposes of calculating the security cover pursuant to  this Clause 24, be applied in reducing the Loan by an equal amount.



-93-












If at any time the Minimum Value requirement is restored, and upon receiving notice and evidence thereto in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall within five (5) days (acting on instructions of the Required Lenders, such instruction to be deemed granted unless the Administrative Agent shall have received prior notice to the contrary), direct that any additional security granted or any amount deposited in a blocked account pursuant to this Clause 24.11 be released.



	24.12	Creation of additional security





The value of any additional security which the Borrower offers to provide to remedy all or part of a shortfall in the amount of the Security Value will only be taken into account for the purposes of determining the Security Value if and when:



		(a)	that additional security, its value and the method of its valuation have been approved by the Required Lenders;






		(b)	a Security Interest over that security has been constituted in favor of the Security Agent or (if appropriate) the Finance Parties in an approved form and manner;






		(c)	this Agreement has been unconditionally amended in such manner as the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Agent (on the instructions of the Required Lenders) requires in consequence of that additional security being provided; and






		(d)	the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or its duly authorized representative, has received such documents and evidence as it may require in relation to that amendment and additional security including documents and evidence of the type referred to in Schedule 3 (Conditions precedent) in relation to that amendment and additional security and its execution and (if applicable) registration.






	25	Bank accounts





The Obligors undertake that this Clause 25 will be complied with throughout the Facility Period.



	25.1	Earnings Accounts






		(a)	The Borrower shall, and any Upstream Guarantor may, be the holder of one or more Accounts with an Account Bank which shall each be designated as an Earnings Account for the purposes of the Finance Documents.






		(b)	The Earnings of the Mortgaged Ships and all moneys payable to any Obligor with respect to a Mortgaged Ship under the Ship's Insurances shall be paid by the persons from whom they are due to an Earnings Account or, if applicable, to the Earnings Account for such Mortgaged Ship, unless required to be paid to the Security Agent under the relevant Finance Documents.






		(c)	As a condition precedent to each Utilization, the Borrower shall ensure that the amount standing to the credit of an Earnings Account is (or will be upon such Utilization) at least equal to the Liquidity Reserve Required Balance immediately after such Utilization.






		(d)	If there is no continuing Event of Default, and provided that there remains at all times in an Earnings Account an amount equal to the Liquidity Reserve Required Balance, the Borrower or relevant Upstream Guarantor (as the case may be) shall be entitled to make withdrawals from any Earnings Account.






-94-













		(e)	If there is a continuing Event of Default, neither the Borrower nor any Upstream Guarantor shall be entitled to make withdrawals from any Earnings Account other than for the payment of any amounts required to be paid under the Management Agreements, and provided that:






		(i)	the Borrower or the relevant Upstream Guarantor (as the case may be) has notified the Administrative Agent of the amount(s) to be withdrawn and the Management Agreement(s) to which the withdrawal relates;






		(ii)	the Borrower or relevant Upstream Guarantor (as the case may be) has provided the Administrative Agent with the relevant commercial invoice, payment request, fee notice or other document from the relevant Approved Manager stipulating that the amount(s) to be withdrawn are due and payable; and






		(iii)	there remains at all times in an Earnings Account an amount equal to the Liquidity Reserve Required Balance.






	25.2	Other provisions






		(a)	An Account may only be designated for the purposes described in this Clause 25 if:






		(i)	such designation is made in writing by the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Agent and acknowledged by the Borrower or relevant Upstream Guarantor (as the case may be) and specifies the names and addresses of the Account Bank and the number and any designation or other reference attributed to the Account;






		(ii)	an Account Security has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower or relevant Upstream Guarantor (as the case may be) in favor of the Security Agent;






		(iii)	any notice required by the Account Security to be given to an Account Bank has been given to, and acknowledged by, the Account Bank in the form required by the relevant Account Security; and






		(iv)	the Administrative Agent and/or the Security Agent, or its duly authorized representative, has received such documents and evidence as it may require in relation to the Account and the relevant Account Security including documents and evidence of the type referred to in Schedule 3 (Conditions precedent) in relation to the Account and the relevant Account Security.






		(b)	The rates of payment of interest and other terms regulating any Account will be a matter of separate agreement between the Borrower or relevant Upstream Guarantor (as the case may be) and an Account Bank. If an Account is a fixed term deposit account, the Borrower or relevant Upstream Guarantor (as the case may be) may select the terms of deposits until the relevant Account Security has become enforceable and the Security Agent directs otherwise.






		(c)	The Borrower or relevant Upstream Guarantor (as the case may be) shall not close any Account or alter the terms of any Account from those in force at the time it is designated for the purposes of this Clause 25 or waive any of their rights in relation to an Account except with approval of the Security Agent.






		(d)	The Borrower or relevant Upstream Guarantor (as the case may be) shall deposit with the Security Agent all certificates of deposit, receipts or other instruments or securities relating to any Account, notify the Security Agent of any claim or notice relating to an Account from any other party and provide the Security Agent with any other information it may request concerning any Account.






-95-

Subject to this Clause 30, a Lender (the "Existing Lender") may, subject to the Facility Guarantor's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed as long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, assign, transfer or novate all or any part of its rights under the Finance Documents to another bank or financial institution (a "Substitute"; it being agreed that following the occurrence of an Event of Default, no consent of the Facility Guarantor shall be required, and a Substitute may also include 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).


Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence:



		(a)	no consent of the Facility Guarantor shall be required for assignments or transfers to Affiliates of Lenders, other Lenders, KEXIM, K-sure or for securitization purposes of a Lender provided that such securitization shall continue to be managed by such Lender and it shall not result in such Lender assigning or transferring any of its rights in view of such securitization process;






		(b)	none of the Obligors may at any time purchase or otherwise acquire any interest in all or any portion of the Loan from any Existing Lender or a Substitute;






		(c)	in relation to an Existing Lender's rights under the Commercial Tranche, a Substitute may be only a Lender or other financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Facility Guarantor, such Facility Guarantor's confirmation to be deemed given if no response to the contrary is received within seven (7) Business Days;






		(d)	in relation to an Existing Lender's rights under the KEXIM Guaranteed Tranche, a Substitute may be only a Mandated Lead Arranger or other financial institution acceptable to the Facility Guarantor and KEXIM, such Facility Guarantor's confirmation to be deemed given if no response to the contrary is received within seven (7) Business Days;






		(e)	in relation to an Existing Lender's rights under the KEXIM Funded Tranche, no consent of the Facility Guarantor shall be required for transfers to any Substitute following a direction or requirement from the Korean Government or any agency thereof, provided that the Facility Guarantor shall be notified of any such transfer.






		(f)	in relation to an Existing Lender's rights under the K-sure Tranche:






		(i)	a Substitute may be only a Mandated Lead Arranger or other financial institution acceptable to K-sure and the Facility Guarantor, such Facility Guarantor's confirmation to be deemed given if no response to the contrary is received within seven (7) Business Days, and such Substitute may not be KEXIM;






		(ii)	to the extent that it is required to do so by K-sure pursuant to the terms of any K-sure Insurance Policy, the K-sure transferor Lender shall cause a transfer to K-sure in respect of such part of its Commitment or (as the case may be) its portion of the relevant Advance under the K-sure Tranche as is equal to the amount simultaneously paid to it by K-sure under the relevant K-sure Insurance Policy, provided that this shall not be construed as depriving any K-sure transferor Lender of its rights to recover any part of the Total Commitments, Loan, Unpaid Sum or otherwise owing to it after receipt of the relevant K-sure Insurance Policy insurance proceeds;






-108-













		(iii)	for the avoidance of doubt and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, in the event that K-sure pays out in full or in part the insurance proceeds in accordance with the terms of any K-sure Insurance Policy:






		(A)	the obligations of the Obligors under this Agreement and each of the Finance Documents shall neither be reduced nor affected in any way;






		(B)	K-sure shall be entitled to the extent of such payment to exercise all rights of the K-sure Lenders (whether present or future) against the Obligors pursuant to this Agreement and the Finance Documents or any relevant laws and/or regulations, as the case may be in respect of the Collateral and solely to the extent that these relate to such payment (but without prejudice to the exercise of such rights by the other Finance Parties) unless and until such insurance proceeds and the interest accrued on them are fully reimbursed to K-sure; and






		(C)	with respect to the obligations of the Obligors owed to the Administrative Agent and/or the K-sure Lenders under the Finance Documents (or any of them), such obligations shall be owed to K-sure by way of subrogation of the rights of the K-sure Lenders.






	30.2	Substitution





Subject to this Clause 30, any Existing Lender may assign all or any part of its rights under the Finance Documents to a Substitute. Any such assignment and assumption shall be effected upon five (5) Business Days' prior notice by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a duly completed Substitution Certificate duly executed by such Lender, the Substitute and the Administrative Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other parties to the relevant Finance Document). On the effective date specified in a Substitution Certificate so executed and delivered, to the extent that they are expressed in such Substitution Certificate to be the subject of the assignment and assumption effected pursuant to this Clause 30.2:



		(a)	the existing parties to the relevant Finance Document and the Lender party to the relevant Substitution Certificate shall be released from their respective obligations towards one another under such Finance Document ("discharged obligations") and their respective rights against one another under such Finance Document ("discharged rights") shall be cancelled;






		(b)	the Substitute party to the relevant Substitution Certificate and the existing parties to the relevant Finance Document (other than the Lender party to such Substitution Certificate) shall assume obligations towards each other which differ from the discharged obligations only insofar as they are owed to or assumed by such Substitute instead of to or by such Lender;






		(c)	the Substitute party to the relevant Substitution Certificate and the existing parties to the relevant Finance Document (other than the Lender party to such Substitution Certificate) shall acquire rights against each other which differ from the discharged rights only insofar as they are exercisable by or against such Substitute instead of by or against such Lender; and






		(d)	in the event any Lender transfers by way of assignment all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations under any Finance Document to another person, the relevant Finance Document, this Agreement and the other Finance Documents shall remain in full force and effect,





and, on the date upon which such assignment and assumption takes effect, the Substitute shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account a fee in the sum of $4,000, unless waived by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and to the relevant Finance Document under which the assignment and assumption is occurring of the



-109-












receipt by it of any Substitution Certificate and shall promptly deliver a copy of such Substitution Certificate to the Borrower.



	30.3	Reliance on Substitution Certificate





The Administrative Agent, the Security Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall be fully entitled to rely on any Substitution Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Clause 30 which is complete and regular on its face as regards its contents and purportedly signed on behalf of the relevant Lender and the Substitute and neither the Administrative Agent, nor the Lenders nor the Borrower shall have any liability or responsibility to any party as a consequence of placing reliance on and acting in accordance with any such Substitution Certificate if it proves to be the case that the same was not authentic or duly authorized.



	30.4	Signing of Substitution Certificate





Each of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, the Swap Banks, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and the ECA Agent irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to countersign each Substitution Certificate on its behalf without any further consent of, or consultation with, each such party.



	30.5	Construction of certain references





If any Lender assigns, transfers, novates and/or substitutes all or any part of its rights, benefits and obligations as provided in Clause 30.1 (Assignments by the Lenders) or 30.2 (Substitution) all relevant references in the relevant Finance Document to such Lender shall thereafter be construed as a reference to such assignee, transferee, novatee or Substitute (as the case may be) to the extent of their respective interests.



	30.6	Documenting assignments, transfers, novations and/or substitutions





If any Lender assigns, transfers, novates and/or substitutes all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations as provided in Clause 30.1 (Assignments by the Lenders) or 30.2 (Substitution), the Borrower undertakes, immediately on being requested to do so by the Administrative Agent if so requested and at the cost of the Lender that has so assigned, transferred, novated and/or substituted all or any part of its rights and/or obligations, to enter into, and procure that the other Obligors which are parties to the Security Documents shall enter into, such documents as may be necessary or desirable to transfer to the assignee, transferee novatee or Substitute all or the relevant part of such Lender's interest in the Security Documents and all relevant references in this Agreement and any other relevant Finance Document to such Lender shall thereafter be construed as a reference to the Lender and/or its assignee, transferee, novatee or Substitute (as the case may be) to the extent of their respective interests.



	30.7	Lending office





Each Lender shall lend through its office at the address specified in Schedule 1 (The original parties) or, as the case may be, in any relevant Substitution Certificate or through any other office of such Lender selected from time to time by it through which such Lender wishes to lend for the purposes of this Agreement.



	30.8	Disclosure of information






		(a)	Each Finance Party agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of Information (as defined below) for a period of 2 years after the date of this Agreement, except that any Finance Party may give, divulge and reveal from time to time information and details relating to its account, any Ship, the Finance

		(b)	For purposes of Clause 30.8(a) above, Information means all information received from any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Obligor or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses (including, without limitation, information provided either directly by any such party or through electronic means (such as DebtDomain, Intralinks or other data websites)), other than any such information that is available to the Finance Parties on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that, in the case of information received from any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.






		(c)	Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Clause 30.8 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord its own confidential information.






		(d)	This clause 30.8 constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties in relation to the obligations of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents regarding the confidentiality of Information and supersedes any previous agreement, whether express or implied, regarding such Information.






	30.9	No additional cost





No Obligor shall be liable under this Agreement or any other Finance Document to pay more after an assignment, transfer, novation or substitution under Clause 30.1 (Assignments by the Lenders) or 30.2 (Substitution) than it would have been liable to pay had such assignment, transfer, novation or substitution not taken place (except for transfer to KEXIM or K-sure).



	30.10	Security over Lenders' rights





In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 30 (Changes to the Lenders), each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time pledge,



-111-

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






		(b)	in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any pledge, assignment or other Security Interest granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities, except that no such pledge, assignment or Security Interest shall:

-126-












grant any such releases to the extent necessary to fully effect such enforcement action and realization including, without limitation, to the extent necessary for such purposes to execute release documents in the name of and on behalf of the Finance Parties.

The Security Agent shall have power to remove any person so appointed. At the request of the Security Agent, the other parties to this Agreement shall forthwith execute all such documents and do all such things as may be required to perfect such appointment or removal and each such party irrevocably authorizes the Security Agent in its name and on its behalf to do the same. Such a person shall accede to this Agreement as a Security Agent to the extent necessary to carry out their role on terms satisfactory to the Security Agent and (subject always to the provisions of this Agreement) have such trusts, powers, authorities, liabilities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Security Agent by this Agreement and the other Finance Documents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment (being no less onerous than would have applied to the Security Agent but for the appointment). The Security Agent shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such person if the Security Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such person.



	32.32	Non-recognition of trust





It is agreed by all the parties to this Agreement that:



		(a)	in relation to any jurisdiction the courts of which would not recognize or give effect to the trusts expressed to be constituted by this Clause 32, the relationship of the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties shall be construed as one of principal and agent, but to the extent permissible under the laws of such jurisdiction, all the other provisions of this Agreement shall have full force and effect between the parties to this Agreement; and






-127-













		(b)	the provisions of this Clause 32 insofar as they relate to the Security Agent in its capacity as trustee for the Finance Parties and the relationship between themselves and the Security Agent as their trustee may be amended by agreement between the other Finance Parties and the Security Agent.

		(ix)	ninth, as to the balance (if any), for the Obligors by or from whom or from whose assets the relevant amounts were paid, received or recovered or other person entitled to them.






		(b)	The Administrative Agent shall, if so directed by all the Lenders, vary the order set out in paragraphs (ii) to (v) of paragraph (a).
