		2	The Available Commitment and CANCELLATION



 


		2.1	Agreement to lend



 


The Lenders, relying upon each
of the representations and warranties in clause 7, agree to provide to the Borrower upon and subject to the terms of this Agreement,
a loan facility in an amount not exceeding the lesser of (a) twenty one million Dollars (USD21,000,000) and (b) 65% of the Valuation
Amount of the Vessel (to be determined no more than two weeks prior to the Drawdown Date), for the purpose of part-financing the
purchase of the Vessel by the Borrower.


 


Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, the obligations of the Lenders shall be to contribute that proportion of the Loan which their respective Commitments
bear to the Total Commitment on the Drawdown Date.


 


		2.2	Obligations several



 


The obligations of the Lenders
under this Agreement are several according to their respective Commitments and/or Contributions. The failure of any Lender to perform
such obligations shall not relieve any other party to this Agreement of any of its respective obligations or liabilities under
this Agreement nor shall any Bank be responsible for the obligations of any other Bank (except for its own obligations, if any,
as a Lender) under this Agreement.


 




    	16



    	 



    

 


		2.3	Interests several



 


Notwithstanding any other term
of this Agreement (but without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement relating to or requiring action by the Majority Lenders)
the interests of the Banks are several and the amount due to any Bank is a separate and independent debt. Each Bank shall have
the right to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Bank to be
joined as an additional party in any Proceedings for this purpose.


 


		2.4	Drawdown



 


		2.4.1	On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Loan shall be advanced to the
Borrower on the Drawdown Date following receipt by the Agent from the Borrower of a Drawdown Notice not later than 10:00 a.m. on
the third Banking Day before the proposed Drawdown Date (or such shorter period as the Lenders may agree).



 


		2.4.2	The Drawdown Notice shall be effective on actual receipt by the Agent and, once given, shall, subject
as provided in clause 3.6, be irrevocable.



 


		2.5	Limitation and application of the Loan



 


		2.5.1	The amount of the Loan shall not exceed the lesser of USD21,000,000, and (ii) 65% of the Valuation
Amount of the Vessel (to be determined no more than two weeks prior to the Drawdown Date).



 


		2.5.2	The Loan shall be paid forthwith upon drawdown to such suspense account in the name of the Agent
as the Borrower shall stipulate in the Drawdown Notice for payment on the Release Date to the Builder under the Shipbuilding Contract
or to such other account as may be agreed.



 


		2.6	Availability



 


Upon receipt of a Drawdown
Notice complying with the terms of this Agreement, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender and each Lender shall make available
to the Agent its portion of the Loan for payment by the Agent in accordance with clause 6.2. The Borrower acknowledges that payment
of the Loan to the account referred to in the Drawdown Notice shall satisfy the obligation of the Lenders to lend the Loan to the
Borrower under this Agreement.


 


		2.7	Cancellation in changed circumstances



 


The Borrower may also at any
time during the Facility Period by notice to the Agent (effective only on actual receipt) prepay and cancel with effect from a
date not less than fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Agent of such notice, the whole but not part only, but without prejudice
to the Borrower’s obligations under clauses 6.6 and 12, of the Contribution and Commitment (if any) of any Lender to which
the Borrower shall have become obliged to pay additional amounts under clause 12 or clause 6.6. Upon any notice of such prepayment
and cancellation being given, the Commitment of the relevant Lender shall be reduced to zero, the Borrower shall be obliged to
prepay the Contribution of such Lender and such Lender's related costs (including but not limited to Break Costs) on such date
and such Lender shall be under no obligation to participate in the Loan.


 




    	17



    	 



    

 


		2.8	Use of proceeds



 


Without prejudice to the Borrower’s
obligations under clause 8.1.4, no Bank shall have any responsibility for the application of the proceeds of the Loan or any part
thereof by the Borrower.


 


		3	Interest and Interest Periods



 


		3.1	Normal interest rate



 


The Borrower must pay interest
on the Loan in respect of each Interest Period on each Interest Payment Date at the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be
the aggregate of (a) the Margin and (b) LIBOR for such period.


 


		3.2	Selection of Interest Periods



 


Each Interest Period shall
have a duration of (i) three (3) months or (ii) such other longer period as the Borrower may select and the Lenders may, in their
complete discretion, agree prior to the date on which the Drawdown Notice is served on the Agent or (iii) such period as the Borrower
may select under clause 3.4.


 


		3.3	Determination of Interest Periods



 


Subject to Clauses 3.3.1 and
3.4 every Interest Period shall be of the duration agreed pursuant to clause 3.2 but so that:


 


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



 


		3.3.3	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 the Loan shall
be divided into parts so that there is one part in the amount of the repayment instalment due on such Repayment Date 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.



 


		3.4	Fixing option



 


The
Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Agent at least five (5) Banking Days before the start of an Interest Period, elect
to fix the interest rate of all or a substantial part of the Loan for a period of longer than twelve (12) months at the rate per
annum determined by the Agent to be the aggregate of (a) the Margin and (b) the rate certified by the Agent as being the average
actual cost of borrowing on the interbank market available to the Lenders for the amount and the period selected by the Borrower
(by reference to the actual cost of borrowing on the interbank market available to each Lender for its share of the amount and
the period selected by the Borrower having reference to the proportion of that Lender’s Contribution to the total Contributions).


 




    	18



    	 



    

 


		3.5	Default interest



 


If the Borrower fails to pay
any sum (including, without limitation, any sum payable pursuant to this clause 3.5) on its due date for payment under any of the
Security Documents, the Borrower must 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 3.5. The period starting 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 start on such due date) shall start 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 periods. Such interest shall be due and payable on demand, or,
if no demand is made, then on the last day of each such period as determined by the Agent and on the day on which all amounts in
respect of which interest is being paid under this Clause are paid, 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, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 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 3.7.1, the Agent is unable to determine a rate
in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause 3.5, each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of the cost of funds
to such Lender 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 arithmetic mean of the cost of funds to the
Lenders compounded at such intervals as the Agent selects.


 


		3.6	Notification of Interest Periods and interest rate



 


The Agent agrees to notify
(i) the Lenders promptly of the duration of each Interest Period and (ii) the Borrower and the Lenders promptly of each rate of
interest determined by it under this clause 3.


 


		3.7	Market disruption; non-availability



 


		3.7.1	Whenever, at any time prior to the commencement of any Interest Period:



 


		(a)	the Agent shall have determined that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR
during such Interest Period; or



 


		(b)	the Agent shall have received notification from a Lender or Lenders that deposits in USD are not
available to such Lender or Lenders in the London InterBank Market in the ordinary course of business to fund their Contributions
to the Loan for such Interest Period



 


		(c)	the Agent must promptly give notice (a “Determination Notice”) thereof to the
Borrower and to each of the Lenders. A Determination Notice shall contain particulars of the relevant circumstances giving rise
to its issue. After the giving of any Determination Notice, regardless of any other provision of this Agreement, the Commitment
shall not be borrowed until notice to the contrary is given to the Borrower by the Agent.



 




    	19



    	 



    

Within ten (10) days of any
Determination Notice being given by the Agent under clause 3.7.1, each Lender must certify an alternative basis (the “Alternative
Basis”) for maintaining its Contribution. The Alternative Basis may at the relevant Lender’s sole discretion include
(without limitation) alternative interest periods, alternative currencies or alternative rates of interest but shall include the
Margin above the cost of funds to such Lender. The Agent shall calculate the arithmetic mean of the Alternative Bases provided
by the relevant Lenders (the “Substitute Basis”) and certify the same to the Borrower and the Lenders. Once
the Substitute Basis has been received by the Borrower, the Borrower and the Agent shall negotiate in good faith for a period of
twenty (20) days in order to arrive at a mutually acceptable new basis for each Lender to continue to make available the Loan and,
if within such twenty (20) day period the Borrower and the Agent shall agree in writing upon such an alternative basis (the “New
Applicable Basis”), the New Applicable Basis should be retroactive to and effective from the first day of the relevant
Interest Period. The New Applicable 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 (which it
shall do as soon as reasonably practical) that none of the circumstances specified in clause 3.7.1 continues to exist whereupon
the normal interest rate fixing provisions of this Agreement shall again apply and, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement,
the Commitment may again be borrowed.


 


Provided that the Banks shall
try to ensure that any loss suffered by the Borrower as a result of the circumstances referred to above are kept to a minimum.


 


If the Borrower does not agree
the New Applicable Basis, the Borrower may within twenty (20) Banking Days of receiving the Agent’s certification of the
New Applicable Basis prepay the Loan in accordance with Clause 4.2, together with accrued interest thereon payable to the Agent
at the rate certified by the Agent and notified to the Borrower as being a reasonable interest reflecting the cost to each Lender
of funding the Loan during the period ending on the date of such prepayment, plus the Margin.


 


		4	Repayment and prepayment



 


		4.1	Repayment



 


		4.1.1	Subject as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Borrower must repay the Loan by twenty eight
(28) quarterly instalments, one such instalment to be repaid on each of the Repayment Dates, and a balloon instalment (the “Balloon
Instalment”) to be repaid on the final Repayment Date. The amount of the first 8 instalments shall each be USD400,000,
the amount of the subsequent 20 instalments shall each be USD300,000 and the amount of the Balloon Instalment shall be USD11,800,000.



 


If the Commitment in respect
of the Loan is not drawn in full, the amount of each repayment instalment, including the Balloon Instalment, shall be reduced proportionately.


 


		4.1.2	The Borrower shall on the Maturity Date also pay to the Agent and the Lenders all other amounts
in respect of interest or otherwise then due and payable under this Agreement and the Security Documents.



 


		4.2	Voluntary prepayment



 


Subject to clauses 4.7 and
4.8 the Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole or part (such part being in an amount of five hundred thousand Dollars (USD500,000)
or any larger sum which is an integral multiple of such amount) on any Interest Payment Date relating to the part of the Loan to
be repaid without (subject to Clause 4.7.3) premium or penalty.


 




    	20



    	 



    

 


		4.3	Mandatory Prepayment on Total Loss



 


On the date falling one hundred
and twenty (120) days after that on which the Vessel became a Total Loss or, if earlier, on the date upon which the insurance proceeds
are, or Requisition Compensation is, received by the Borrower (or the Security Trustee or any other Bank pursuant to the Security
Documents), the Borrower must prepay the Loan in full.


 


		4.3.1	Interpretation



 


For the purpose of this Agreement,
a Total Loss shall be deemed to have occurred:

		(b)	in the case of a constructive total loss of the Vessel, upon the date and at the time notice of
abandonment of the ship is given to the then insurers of the Vessel (provided a claim for total loss is admitted by such insurers)
or, if such insurers do not immediately admit such a claim, at the date and at the time at which either a total loss is subsequently
admitted by such insurers or a total loss is subsequently adjudged by a competent court of law or arbitration tribunal to have
occurred;



 


		(c)	in the case of a compromised or arranged total loss of the Vessel, on the date upon which a binding
agreement as to such compromised or arranged total loss has been entered into by the then insurers of the Vessel;

or purporting to act on behalf of any Government Entity, which deprives the Borrower of the use of the Vessel for more than sixty
(60) days, upon the expiry of such sixty (60) day period.

If on the date falling six
months before the earliest FATCA Application Date for any payment by a Party to a FATCA Protected Lender (or to the Agent for the
account of that Lender), that Lender is not a FATCA Exempt Party and, in the opinion of that Lender (acting reasonably), that Party
will, as a consequence, be required to make a FATCA Deduction from a payment to that Lender on or after that FATCA Application
Date (a "FATCA Event"):


 




    	21



    	 



    

 


		(i)	that Lender shall, reasonably promptly after that date, notify the Agent of that FATCA Event and
the relevant FATCA Application Date;

		6	Payments and taxes; accounts and calculations



 


		6.1	No set-off or counterclaim

as provided in clause 6.6, free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in USD on or before 11:00 am on the due date in freely
available funds to such account 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 other relevant Security Documents, such payments shall be for the account of all

		6.5	Currency of account



 


If any sum due from the Borrower
under any of the Security Documents, or under any order or judgment given or made in relation thereto, must be converted from the
currency (“the first currency”) in which the same is payable thereunder into another currency (“the second currency”)
for the purpose of (i) making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower, (ii) obtaining an order or judgment in any court
or other tribunal or (iii) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation thereto, the Borrower undertakes to indemnify
and hold harmless the Lender from and against any loss suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (a) the rate of exchange
used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (b) the rate or rates
of exchange at which the Lender 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 Borrower under this clause 6.5 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 any of the Security Documents 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.


 


		6.6	Grossing-up for Taxes - by the Borrower



 


If at any time the Borrower must
make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes (other than a FATCA Deduction) or deduction in respect of any royalty payment,
duty, assessment or other charge or otherwise from any payment due under any of the Security Documents for the account of any Bank
or if the Agent or the Security Trustee must make any deduction or withholding from a payment to another Bank or withholding in
respect of Taxes from any payment due under any of the Security Documents, the sum due from the Borrower in respect of such payment
must be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the relevant Bank
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
must indemnify each Bank 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 the due date for such payment. Provided however that if
any Bank or the Agent or the Security Trustee shall be or become entitled to any Tax credit or relief in respect of any Tax which
is deducted from any payment by the Borrower and it actually receives a benefit from such Tax credit or relief in its country of
domicile, incorporation or residence, the relevant Bank or the Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, shall, subject
to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, pay to the Borrower after such benefit is effectively received by the relevant Bank
or the Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be, such amounts (which shall be conclusively certified by the Agent) as
shall ensure that the net amount actually retained by the relevant Bank or the Agent or the Security Trustee, as the case may be,
is equal to the amount which would have been retained if there had been no such deduction. The Borrower must promptly deliver to
the Agent any receipts, certificates or other proof evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or payable in respect of any deduction
or withholding as aforesaid.

		6.7	Grossing-up for Taxes - by the Lenders



 


If at any time a Lender must
make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under any of the Security Documents for the account
of the Agent or the Security Trustee, the sum due from such Lender in respect of such payment must be increased to the extent necessary
to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee 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 each Lender must indemnify
the Agent and the Security Trustee against any losses or costs incurred by it by reason of any failure of such Lender to make any
such deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment.


 


		6.8	Loan account



 


Each Lender shall maintain,
in accordance with its usual practice, an account evidencing the amounts from time to time lent by, owing to and paid to it under
the Security Documents. The Agent and/or the Security Trustee shall maintain a control account showing the Loan and other sums
owing by the Borrower under the Security Documents and all payments in respect thereof being made from time to time. The control
account shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the amount from time to time owing by the Borrower
under the Security Documents.


 


		6.9	Agent may assume receipt



 


Where any sum is to be paid
under the Security Documents to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee for the account of another person, the Agent
or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee may assume that the payment will be made when due and the Agent or, as the case may
be, the Security Trustee 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 or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee, then the person to whom such
sum was so made available must on request refund such sum to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee together with
interest thereon sufficient to compensate the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee for the cost of making available
such sum up to the date of such repayment and the person by whom such sum was payable must indemnify the Agent or, as the case
may be, the Security Trustee for any and all loss or expense which the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee may sustain
or incur as a consequence of such sum not having been paid on its due date.


 


		6.10	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 Agent, the Security Trustee and the Lenders under any of the Security Documents, the Agent must 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:


 


		6.10.1	first, in or towards payment, on a pro-rata basis, of any unpaid costs and expenses of the Agent
and the Security Trustee under any of the Security Documents;



 


		6.10.2	secondly, in or towards payment of any fees payable to the Agent or any of the other Banks under,
or in relation to, the Security Documents which remain unpaid;



 




    	26

in respect of the Loan which shall have become due under any of the Security Documents but remains unpaid;



 


		6.10.4	fourthly, in or towards repayment of the Loan which have become due and payable;



 


		6.10.5	fifthly, in or towards payment to the Lenders, on a pro rata basis, any Break Costs and any other
sum relating to the Loan which shall have become due under any of the Security Documents but remains unpaid; and

or approval from, the Borrower.

		(ii)	supply to the requesting party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its

requests for the purposes of such requesting party’s compliance with FATCA.



 


		(b)	If a party to any Security Document confirms to another party pursuant to subclause (a) above that

shall notify that other party and the Agent reasonably promptly.



 


		(c)	Subclause (a) above shall not oblige any Lender to do anything which would or might in its reasonable
opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation, any policy of that Lender, any fiduciary duty or any duty of confidentiality,
or to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns and calculations); provided, however,
that information required (or equivalent to the information so required) by United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8 or
W-9 (or any successor forms) shall not be treated as confidential information of such Lender for purposes of this subclause (c).



 


		(d)	If a party to any Security Document fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation
or other information requested in accordance with subclause (a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where subclause (c)
above applies), then

shall be treated for the purposes of the Security Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and



 




    	27



    	 



    

 


		(ii)	if that party failed to confirm its applicable passthru percentage then such party shall be treated

until (in each
case) such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.


 


		6.11.2	FATCA Deduction



 


		(a)	Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required
in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such
a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.



 


		(b)	Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there
is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition,
shall notify the Borrower, the Agent and the other Banks.

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 Lender would have received if the Relevant Receipt

re-distributed to them, be treated as discharged.



 


		13.3.2	If any part of the Relevant Receipt subsequently has to be wholly or partly refunded by the Recovering
Lender (whether to a liquidator or otherwise) each Lender to which any part of such Relevant Receipt was so re-distributed shall

time request for the purposes of this clause 13.3.



 


		13.3.4	Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause 13.3, no Recovering Lender shall be obliged
to share any Relevant Receipt which it receives or recovers pursuant to Proceedings taken by it to recover any sums owing to it

and diligently pursue separate Proceedings to enforce its rights in the same or another court (unless the Proceedings instituted
by the Recovering Lender are instituted by it without prior notice having been given to such party through the Agent).



 


		13.4	No release

or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The remedies provided in the Security Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law. No waiver by any Bank shall be effective unless it is in writing.


 


		13.9	Severability

provision in any other jurisdiction.

by each Lender was transferred to such Lender, and the Agent shall make the said register available for inspection by any Lender

(USD 1,500) and, in addition, be responsible for all other costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses)
associated therewith and all value added tax thereon, as well as those of the Agent (in addition to its fee as aforesaid) in connection
with such transfer.

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, immediately on being requested to do so by the Agent and at the cost of the Transferor Lender, to enter into, and procure
that the other Security Parties shall (at the cost of the Transferor Lender) enter into, such documents as may be necessary or
desirable to transfer to the Transferee Lender all or the relevant part of such Lender’s interest in the Security Documents
and all relevant references in this Agreement to such Lender shall thereafter be construed as a reference to the Transferor Lender
and/or its Transferee Lender (as the case may be) to the extent of their respective interests.


 


		15.7	Sub-Participation



 


A Lender may, without prior notice
to or the prior written consent of the Borrower, the Corporate Guarantor, the Approved Charterer or any charterer of the Vessel,

of, consultation with or notice to, any Security Party.

all or any part of the Loan in a securitisation or similar transaction without consultation with the prior written consent of the
Borrower, the Corporate Guarantor or any charterer of the Vessel. The Borrower will (and will procure that the Corporate Guarantor
or any charterer of the Vessel will) reasonably assist the Lenders as necessary to achieve a successful securitisation (or similar

    	57



    	 



    

  


		15.10	Disclosure of information



 


The Borrower hereby does, and shall
procure that the Corporate Guarantor does, irrevocably authorise each Bank to give, divulge and reveal from time to time information
and details relating to their accounts, the Vessel, the Security Documents, the Loan, the Commitments and any agreement entered
into by the Borrower and/or Security Party or information provided by the Borrower or Security Party in connection with the Security
Documents to:


 


		(i)	any private, public, or internationally recognised authorities that are entitled to and have requested

or operational arrangements or other transaction in relation to the Loan, its Contribution or its Commitment,



 


including without
limitation, for purposes in connection with a securitisation or similar transaction or any enforcement, preservation, assignment,
transfer, sale or sub-participation of any of such Bank’s rights and obligations.


 


		15.11	If:



 


(i)                 
a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations, or sub-participates its Contribution, or securitises its Contribution
under any of clauses 15.3, 15.7 or 15.9; and


 


(ii)               
as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer, securitisation or sub-participation occurs, the Borrower
and/or any other Security Party would be obliged to make a payment to the Transferee Lender under Clause 6.6 (Grossing-up for
Taxes - by the Borrower) or Clause 12.2 (Increased Costs) or equivalent clauses under any other Security Document,


 


then the Transferee Lender is only
entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Transferor Lender would have been if the assignment,
transfer, securitisation or sub-participation had not occurred and no taxes and/or costs shall be payable by the Borrower and/or
any other Security Party which would not, but for such transfer, have been payable.

		16.6	Non –reliance on Security Trustee, Agent



 


Each Lender acknowledges that it
has not relied on any statement, opinion, forecast or other representation made by the Security Trustee or the Agent to induce
it to enter into any of the Security Documents and that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance on the Security
Trustee 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 Lender’s Commitment or Contribution under this Agreement. Neither
of the Security Trustee and the Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide

group of companies as such Security Party or any of the Lenders as if it were not the Security Trustee or the Agent.


 


		16.10	Rights of Agent as Lender; no partnership



 


With respect to its own Commitment
and Contribution (if any) the Security Trustee and the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Security Documents
as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it under this
Agreement and the term “Lenders” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Security Trustee
and the Agent in their respective individual capacity as a Lender. This Agreement 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, the Security Trustee and/or the Agent (as the case may be) may, with the
consent of the Majority Lenders (or if and to the extent expressly authorised by the other provisions of any of the Security Documents)

grant) waivers in respect of breaches or defaults or to vary or excuse (or authorise the Security Trustee to vary or excuse) performance

or other amount payable by any Security Party under any of the Security Documents;



 


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

or each Lender is a FATCA Protected Lender. The Agent shall notify the Lenders reasonably promptly of any amendments or waivers
proposed by the Borrower



 


provided that:


 


		(i)	if the Agent or a Lender reasonably believes that an amendment or waiver may constitute a "material
modification" for the purposes of FATCA that may result (directly or indirectly) in a Party being required to make a FATCA
Deduction and the Agent or that Lender (as the case may be) notifies the Company and the Agent accordingly, that amendment or waiver
may, subject to paragraph (ii) below, not be effected without the consent of the Agent or that Lender (as the case may be); and



 


		(ii)	the consent of a Lender shall not be required pursuant to paragraph (i) above if that Lender is
a FATCA Protected Lender.



 


		16.12	Reimbursement and indemnity by Lenders



 


Each Lender shall reimburse the
Security Trustee and the Agent (rateably in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment or, after the Loan has been drawn, its
Contribution,) to the extent that the Security Trustee or the Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrower, for the costs, charges and
expenses incurred by the Security Trustee or the Agent which are expressed to be payable by the Borrower under clause 5.3 including
(in each case), without limitation, the fees and expenses of legal or other professional advisers provided that, if following any
payment to the Security Trustee or the Agent by a Lender under this clause the Security Trustee or the Agent receives payment from
the Borrower in respect of the same costs, fees or expenses, the Security Trustee or the Agent shall upon receipt thereof reimburse

by the Security Trustee 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 Trustee or, as the case may be, the Agent, under any of the Security Documents,
unless such liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise from the Security Trustee’s or as the case may be, the Agent’s
own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

forthwith be given to each Security Party and the Lenders.

		16.14	Appointment and retirement of Security Trustee



 


		16.14.1	Appointment



 


Each of the Banks irrevocably appoints
the Security Trustee as its Security Trustee and trustee for the purposes of the Security Documents, in each case on the terms
set out in this Agreement. Accordingly, each of the Lenders and the Agent hereby authorises the Security Trustee (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 Trustee by this Agreement and/or the 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 Trustee may, having given to the Borrower and each of the Lenders not less than fifteen (15) days’ notice of
its intention to do so, retire from its appointment as Security Trustee under this Agreement and any Trust Deed, provided that
no such retirement shall take effect unless there has been appointed by the Lenders and the Agent as a successor Security Trustee
and trustee, with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Corporate Guarantor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed):


 


		(a)	a company in the same group of companies of the Security Trustee nominated by the Security Trustee
which the Lenders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to appoint or, failing such nomination,



 


		(b)	a Lender or trust corporation nominated by the Majority Lenders or, failing such a nomination,



 


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



 


and, in any case, such successor
Security Trustee and trustee shall have duly accepted such appointment by delivering to the Agent (i) written confirmation (in
a form acceptable to the Agent) of such acceptance agreeing to be bound by this Agreement in the capacity of Security Trustee as
if it had been an original party to this Agreement and (ii) a duly executed Trust Deed.


 


Any corporation into which the
retiring Security Trustee may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the Security Trustee may be consolidated or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation to which the Security
Trustee shall be a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Security Trustee under this Agreement,
any Trust Deed 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, 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 and the Lenders.


 


Upon any such successor as aforesaid
being appointed, the retiring Security Trustee 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 Trustee. The retiring
Security Trustee shall (at its own expense) provide its successor with copies of such of its records as its successor requires
to carry out its functions under the Security Documents.

		16.15	Powers and duties of the Security Trustee



 


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



 


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



 


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



 


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


 


		16.15.2	Subject to clause 16.15.3 the Security Trustee may, with the prior consent of the Majority Lenders
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 Trustee
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 Trustee is or is intended to be a party; or



 


		(c)	give any consents to any Security Party in respect of any provision of any Security Document



 


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


 


		16.15.3	The Security Trustee shall not concur with any Security Party with respect to any of the matters
described in clause 16.11.4 without the consent of the Lenders communicated in writing by the Agent.



 


		16.15.4	The Security Trustee 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
Trustee and trustee, as the Agent may direct. Subject as provided in the foregoing provisions of this clause, unless and until
the Security Trustee has received such instructions from the Agent, the Security Trustee 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 16.14 as the Security Trustee
shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks provided that (for the avoidance of doubt), to the extent that this clause
might otherwise be construed as authorising the Security Trustee 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 Lenders is expressly required under clause 16.15.3 - clauses 16.15.2
and 16.15.3 shall apply to the exclusion of this clause.



 




    	66



    	 



    

  


		16.15.5	None of the Lenders nor the Agent shall have any independent power to enforce any of the Security
Documents referred to in clause 16.14 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 Trustee.



 


		16.15.6	For the purpose of this clause 16, the Security Trustee may, rely and act in reliance upon any
information from time to time furnished to the Security Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee
has actual knowledge that such information is inaccurate or incorrect.



 


		16.15.7	Without prejudice to the foregoing each of the Agent and the Lenders (whether directly or through
the Agent) shall provide the Security Trustee with such written information as it may require for the purpose of carrying out its
duties and obligations under the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.14.



 


		16.16	Trust provisions



 


		16.16.1	The trusts constituted or evidenced in or by this Agreement and the Trust Deed shall remain in
full force and effect until whichever is the earlier of:



 


		(a)	the expiration of a period of eighty (80) years from the date of this Agreement; and



 


		(b)	receipt by the Security Trustee of confirmation in writing by the Agent that there is no longer
outstanding any Indebtedness (actual or contingent) which is secured or guaranteed or otherwise assured by or under any of the
Security Documents,



 


and the parties to this Agreement
declare that the perpetuity period applicable to this Agreement and the trusts declared by the Trust Deed shall for the purposes
of the Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 1964 be the period of eighty (80) years from the date of this Agreement.


 


		16.16.2	In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Documents specified in clause 16.14, the
Security Trustee 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 Trustee by any of
those Security Documents.



 


		16.16.3	It is expressly declared that, in its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Documents
specified in clause 16.14, the Security Trustee shall be entitled to invest moneys forming part of the security and which, in the
opinion of the Security Trustee, may not be paid out promptly following receipt in the name or under the control of the Security
Trustee 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 Trustee as the Security Trustee may think fit without being under any duty to diversify its investments
and the Security Trustee 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 depreciation in value or otherwise of such property or investments. Any investment
of any part or all of the security may, at the discretion of the Security Trustee, be made or retained in the names of nominees.



 




    	67



    	 



    

  


		16.17	Independent action by Banks



 


None of the Banks shall enforce,
exercise any rights, remedies or powers or grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to, or otherwise have a direct recourse
to the security and/or guarantees constituted by any of the Security Documents without the prior written consent of the Majority
Lenders but, provided such consent has been obtained, it shall not be necessary for any other Bank to be joined as an additional
party in any Proceedings for this purpose.


 


		16.18	Common Agent and Security Trustee



 


The Agent and the Security Trustee
have entered into the Security Documents in their separate capacities (a) as agent for the Lenders under and pursuant to this Agreement
(in the case of the Agent) and (b) as Security Trustee and trustee for the Lenders and the Agent under and pursuant to this Agreement,
to hold the guarantees and/or security created by the Security Documents specified in clause 16.14 on the terms set out in such
Security Documents (in the case of the Security Trustee). If and when the Agent and the Security Trustee are the same entity and
any Security Document provides for the Agent to communicate with or provide instructions to the Security Trustee (and vice versa),
all parties to this Agreement agree that any such communications or instructions on such occasions are unnecessary and are hereby
waived.


 


		16.19	Co-operation to achieve agreed priorities of application



 


The Lenders and the Agent shall
co-operate with each other and with the Security Trustee and any receiver under the Security Documents in realising the property
and assets subject to the Security Documents and in ensuring that the net proceeds realised under the Security Documents after
deduction of the expenses of realisation are applied in accordance with clause 13.1.


 


		16.20	The Prompt distribution of proceeds



 


Moneys received by any of the Banks
(whether from a receiver or otherwise) pursuant to the exercise of (or otherwise by virtue of the existence of) any rights and
powers under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents shall (after providing for all costs, charges, expenses and liabilities
and other payments ranking in priority) be paid to the Agent for distribution (in the case of moneys so received by any of the
Banks other than the Agent or the Security Trustee) and shall be distributed by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security
Trustee (in the case of moneys so received by the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee) in each case in accordance
with clause 13.1. The Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee shall make each such application and/or distribution as
soon as is practicable after the relevant moneys are received by, or otherwise become available to, the Agent or, as the case may
be, the Security Trustee save that (without prejudice to any other provision contained in any of the Security Documents) the Agent
or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) or any receiver may credit any
moneys received by it to a suspense account for so long and in such manner as the Agent or such receiver may from time to time
determine with a view to preserving the rights of the Agent and/or the Security Trustee and/or the Account Bank and/or the Lenders
or any of them to provide for the whole of their respective claims against the Borrower or any other person liable.


 




    	68



    	 



    

  


		16.21	Reconventioning



 


The Agent shall be entitled to
make such amendments to this Agreement as it may determine to be necessary to take account of any changes in market practices as
a consequence of the European Monetary Union (whether as to the settlement or rounding of obligations, business days, the calculation
of interest or otherwise whatsoever). So far as possible such amendments shall be such as to put the parties in the same position
as if the event or events giving rise to the need to amend this Agreement had not occurred. Any amendment so made to this Agreement
by the Agent shall be promptly notified to the other parties hereto and shall be binding on all parties hereto.


 


		16.22	Exclusivity



 


Without prejudice to the Borrower’s
rights, in certain instances, to give their consent thereunder, clauses 15 and 16 are for the exclusive benefit of the Banks.

		19	Jurisdiction



 


		19.1	Jurisdiction



 


For the benefit of the Banks the
Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that the courts of England shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction:


 


		19.1.1	to settle any disputes or other matters whatsoever arising under or in connection with this Agreement
(or any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) and any disputes or other such matters
arising in connection with the negotiation, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any part thereof, whether the alleged
liability shall arise under the laws of England or under the laws of some other country and regardless of whether a particular
cause of action may successfully be brought in the English courts; and



 


		19.1.2	to grant interim remedies or other provisional or protective relief.



 


		19.2	Submission and service of process



 


The Borrower accordingly irrevocably
and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts. Without prejudice to any other mode of service the Borrower:


 


		19.2.1	irrevocably empowers and appoints Atlas Maritime Services Limited at present of Enterprise House,
113-115 George Lane, E18 1AB, London, England as its agent to receive and accept on its behalf any process or other document relating
to any proceedings before the English courts in connection with this Agreement;



 


		19.2.2	agrees to maintain such an agent for service of process in England from the date hereof until the
end of the Facility Period;



 


		19.2.3	agrees that failure by a process agent to notify the Borrower of service of process will not invalidate
the proceedings concerned;



 


		19.2.4	without prejudice to the effectiveness of service of process on its agent under clause 19.2.1 above
but as an alternative method, consents to the service of process relating to any such proceedings by mailing or delivering a copy

		19.2.5	agrees that if the appointment of any person mentioned in clause 19.2.1 ceases to be effective,
the Borrower shall immediately appoint a further person in England to accept service of process on its behalf in England and, failing

in those circumstances to appoint such person by notice to the Borrower.



 




    	71



    	 



    

  


		19.3	Forum non conveniens and enforcement abroad



 


The Borrower:


 


		19.3.1	waives any right and agrees not to apply to the English court or other court in any jurisdiction
whatsoever to stay or strike out any proceedings commenced in England on the ground that England is an inappropriate forum and/or
that Proceedings have been or will be started in any other jurisdiction in connection with any dispute or related matter falling
within clause 19.1; and



 


		19.3.2	agrees that a judgment or order of an English court in a dispute or other matter falling within

		19.4	Right of Agent to bring proceedings in any other jurisdiction



 


		19.4.1	Nothing in this clause 19 limits the right of any Lender to bring Proceedings, including third
party proceedings, against the Borrower, or to apply for interim remedies, in connection with this Agreement in any other court
and/or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction;



 


		19.4.2	the obtaining by any Lender of judgment in one jurisdiction shall not prevent such Lender from
bringing or continuing proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether or not these shall be founded on the same cause of action.



 


		19.5	Enforceability despite invalidity of Agreement



 


Without prejudice to the generality
of clause 13.9, the jurisdiction agreement contained in this clause 19 shall be severable from the rest of this Agreement and shall
remain valid, binding and in full force and shall continue to apply notwithstanding this Agreement or any part thereof being held
to be avoided, rescinded, terminated, discharged, frustrated, invalid, unenforceable, illegal and/or otherwise of no effect for
any reason.
