          Alternative rate of interest in absence of agreement.  If an alternative interest rate or alternative basis is not agreed within the Negotiation Period,
            and the relevant  circumstances are continuing at the end of the Negotiation Period, then the Agent shall, with the agreement of each Lender or (as the case may be) the Affected Lender, set an interest period and interest rate representing the
            cost of funding of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Affected Lender in Dollars or in any available

        

  
    25

            require) the Affected Lender of the Borrowers’ notice of intended prepayment; and:

        

  	(a)	
          on the date on which the Agent serves that notice, the Total Commitments or (as the case may require) the relevant Contribution of the Affected Lender shall be cancelled; and

        

  	(b)	
          on the last Business Day of the interest period set by the Agent, the Borrowers shall prepay (without premium or penalty) the Loan or, as the case may be, the Affected Lender’s Contribution,

          aligning any provision of any Finance Document to the use of that Replacement Benchmark;

        

  	

        	(ii)	
          enabling that Replacement Benchmark to be used for the calculation of interest under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any consequential changes required to enable that Replacement
            Benchmark to be used for the purposes of this Agreement);

        

  	

        	(iii)	
          implementing market conventions applicable to that Replacement Benchmark;

        

  	

        	(iv)	
          providing for appropriate fallback (and market disruption) provisions for that Replacement Benchmark; or

        

  	

        	(v)	
          adjusting the pricing to reduce or eliminate, to the extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic value from one party to another as a result of the application of that Replacement
            Benchmark (and if any adjustment or method for calculating any adjustment has been formally designated, nominated or recommended by the Relevant Nominating Body, the adjustment shall be determined on the basis of that

  designation, nomination or recommendation),

  may be made with the consent of the Lenders and the Borrowers.

          its Commitment(s) shall not be included for the purpose of calculating the Total Commitments under the Loan when ascertaining whether any relevant percentage of Total Commitments has been
            obtained to approve that request; and

        

  	(b)	
          its status as a Lender shall be disregarded for the purpose of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve that request.

        

  	6.	
          INTEREST PERIODS

        

  	6.1	
          Commencement of Interest Periods. The initial Interest Period in respect of Tranche A shall commence on the Drawdown Date of Tranche A and will have a
            duration as per the relevant Drawdown Notice. The initial Interest Period in respect of Tranche B shall commence on the Drawdown Notice of Tranche B and shall terminate on the last day of the immediately preceding interest period relating to
            Tranche A whereas both Tranches will be amalgamated. Each subsequent Interest Period shall commence on the expiry of the preceding Interest Period;

        

  	6.2	
          Duration of normal Interest Periods.  Subject to Clauses 6.3 and 6.4, each Interest Period shall be:

        

  	(a)	
          3 or 6 months as notified by the Borrowers to the Agent not later than 11.00 am (London time) 3 Business Days before the commencement of the initial Interest Period or, at the sole discretion of
            the Lenders of longer than 6 months at the Borrowers’ request; or

        

  	(b)	
          3 months, if the Borrowers fail to notify the Agent by the time specified in paragraph (a); or

        

  	(c)

  	6.3	
          Duration of Interest Periods for repayment instalments. In respect of an amount due to be repaid under Clause 8 on a particular Repayment Date, an
            Interest Period shall end on that Repayment Date. No Interest Period shall extend beyond the final Repayment Date.

        

  	6.4	
          Non-availability of matching deposits for Interest Period selected.  If, after the Borrowers have selected and the Lenders have agreed to an Interest
            Period, any Lender notifies the Agent by 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day before the commencement of the Interest Period that it is not satisfied that deposits in Dollars for a period equal to the Interest Period will be
            available to it in the London Interbank Market when the Interest Period commences, then that Interest Period shall have such duration as the Agent after having consulted with the Borrowers may determine.

        

  
    27

    
      

  

  

  

  	7.

  	7.1	
          Payment of default interest on overdue amounts.  The Borrowers shall pay interest in accordance with the following provisions of this Clause 7 on any
            amount payable by the Borrowers under any Finance Document which the Agent, the Security Trustee or any other Creditor Party does not receive on or before the relevant due date for payment thereunder, that is:

        

  	(a)	
          the date on which such Finance Documents provide that such amount is due for payment; or

        

  	(b)	
          if a Finance Document provides that such amount is payable on demand, three (3) days following the date on which the demand is served; or

        

  	(c)	
          if such amount has become immediately due and payable under Clause 19.4, the date on which it became immediately due and payable.

        

  	7.2	
          Default rate of interest and its calculation.  Interest shall accrue on an overdue amount from (and including) the relevant date until the date of actual
            payment (as well after as before judgment) at the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be two point fifty per cent (2.50%) per annum above the Margin plus, in respect of successive periods of any duration (including at call) up to 3 months
            which the Agent may select from time to time:

        

  	

        	(i)	
          LIBOR; or

        

  	

        	(ii)	
          if the Agent determines that Dollar deposits for any such period are not being made available to a Lender or (as the case may be) Lenders by leading banks in the London Interbank Market in the
            ordinary course of business, a rate from time to time determined by the Agent by reference to the cost of funds to the Agent from such other sources as the Agent may from time to time determine.

        

  	7.3	
          Notification of interest periods and default rates. The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrowers of each interest rate determined by the
            Agent under Clause 7.2 and of each period selected by the Agent for the purposes of that Clause; but this shall not be taken to imply that the Borrowers are liable to pay such interest only with effect from the date of the Agent’s notification.

        

  	7.4	
          Payment of accrued default interest.  Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, any interest due under this Clause shall be paid on the last day
            of the period by reference to which it was determined; and the payment shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Creditor Party to which the overdue amount is due.

        

  	7.5	
          Compounding of default interest.  Any such interest which is not paid at the end of the period by reference to which it was determined shall thereupon be
            compounded.

        

  	8.	
          REPAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT

            each subsequent instalment shall be repaid at three monthly intervals thereafter and the balloon payment shall be repaid concurrently with the twenty fourth and final repayment instalment, which shall be repaid on the final Repayment Date being
            the date falling on the Final Maturity Date,

        

  Provided always that if the amount of the Loan drawn down hereunder is less than $26,700,000 then the amount of the repayment instalments and of the Balloon
    Instalment shall be reduced on a pro rata basis.

  	8.3	
          Final Repayment Date.  On the final Repayment Date, the Borrowers shall additionally pay to the Lenders all other sums then accrued or owing under any
            Finance Document.

  	(c)	
          the Borrowers have provided evidence satisfactory to the Agent that any consent required by the Borrowers or any Security Party in connection with the prepayment has been obtained and remains in
            force, and that any requirement relevant to this Agreement which affects the Borrowers or any Security Party has been complied with.

        

  	8.6	
          Effect of notice of prepayment.  A prepayment notice may not be withdrawn or amended without the consent of the Agent, given with the authority of the
            Majority Lenders, and the amount specified in the prepayment notice shall become due and payable by the Borrowers on the date for prepayment specified in the prepayment notice.

        

  	8.7	
          Notification of notice of prepayment.  The Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receiving a prepayment notice, and shall provide any Lender which

  	8.8	
          Mandatory prepayment in case of Total Loss or sale of a Ship.

        

  	(a)

            Majority Lenders, fully prepay the outstanding balance of the portion of the  Loan related to such Ship (as per (c) below)  together with accrued interest to the date of prepayment and all other sums payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders
            pursuant to this Agreement and the other Finance Documents (and if the relevant portion of the Loan has not been drawn yet, it shall be reduced to zero);

        

  
    29

    
      

  

  

  

  	(b)	
          The Borrowers shall immediately upon the sale or refinancing or disposal of a Ship, with the prior written consent of the Lenders and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
            continuing, fully prepay the outstanding of the portion of the Loan related to such Ship (as per (c) below) together with accrued interest to the date of prepayment and all other sums payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders pursuant to this
            Agreement and the other Finance Documents (and if the relevant portion of the Loan has not been drawn yet, it shall be reduced to zero);

        

  	(c)	
          In either case under (a) and (b) of this Clause the Borrowers shall prepay the Loan by the amount required in order for the ratio of the  Market Value of the remaining Ship against the remaining
            indebtedness under the Loan to be at the same level as that ratio existing prior to the sale or loss of such Ship sold or lost and in any event not less than 120% of the remaining indebtedness and any such prepayment will be applied against

          No reborrowing.  No amount prepaid or repaid may be re-borrowed.

        

  	9.	
          CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

          Documents, fees and no default.  Each Lender’s obligation to contribute to the Loan is subject to the following conditions precedent:

        

  	(a)

            20.2;

        

  	(d)	
          that at the date of the relevant Drawdown Notice, at the relevant Drawdown Date on the first day of each Interest Period and on the date of each Compliance Certificate:

        

  	

        	(i)	
          no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the borrowing of the Loan;

        

  
    30

    
      

  

  

  

  	

        	(ii)	
          the representations and warranties in Clause 10 and those of the Borrowers or any Security Party which are set out in the other Finance Documents would be true and not misleading in any material
            respect if repeated on each of those dates with reference to the circumstances then existing;

        

  	

        	(iii)	
          none of the circumstances contemplated by Clause 5.5 has occurred and is continuing;

        

  	

        	(iv)	
          there has not been a Material Adverse Change in the financial position or state of affairs of the Borrowers and/or the Group from that disclosed to the Agent prior to the date of this Agreement;

        

  	(e)	
          that, if the ratio set out in Clause 15.1 were applied immediately following the advancement of each Tranche, the Borrowers would not be obliged to provide additional security or prepay part of
            the Loan under that Clause; and

        

  	(f)	
          that the Agent has received, and found to be acceptable to it, any further opinions, consents, agreements and documents in connection with the Finance Documents which the Agent (acting
            reasonably) may, with the authorisation of the Majority Lenders, request by notice to the Borrowers prior to the relevant Drawdown Date.

        

  	9.2	
          Waiver of conditions precedent.  If the Majority Lenders, at their discretion, permit a Tranche to be advanced before certain of the conditions referred
            to in Clause 9.1 are satisfied, the Borrowers shall ensure that those conditions are satisfied within 5 Business Days after the relevant Drawdown Date (or such longer period as the Agent may, with the authority of the Majority Lenders,
            specify).

        

  	10.	
          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

        

  	10.1	
          General.  The Borrowers represent and warrant to each Creditor Party as follows:

        

  	10.2	
          Status.  Each Borrower is duly incorporated and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its country of incorporation and Borrower B will
            be in compliance with the Republic of the Marshall Islands Economic Substance Regulation 2018 in accordance with its terms and time frame once the same becomes applicable; neither the Borrowers nor any Security Party is a FATCA FFI or a US Tax
            Obligor.

        

  	10.3	
          Share capital and ownership.  Each of Borrower A and Borrower B is duly incorporated in Liberia  and the Marshall Islands respectively and has an
            authorised share capital divided into 500 registered shares and the legal title and beneficial ownership of all those shares is held, free of any Security Interest or other claim by the Guarantor.

        

  	10.4	
          Corporate power.  Each Borrower has the corporate capacity, and has taken all corporate action and obtained all consents necessary for it:

        

  	(a)	
          to execute the Finance Documents to which it is a party; and

        

  	(b)	
          to borrow under this Agreement and to make all the payments contemplated by, and to comply with, the Finance Documents to which each Borrower is a Party.

        

  
    31

    
      

  

  

  

  	10.5	
          Consents in force.  All the consents referred to in Clause 10.4 remain in force and nothing has occurred which makes any of them liable to revocation.

        

  	10.6	
          Legal validity; effective Security Interests.  The Finance Documents to which each Borrower is a party, do now or, as the case may be, will, upon
            execution and delivery (and, where applicable, registration as provided for in the Finance Documents):

        

  	(a)	
          constitute that Borrower’s legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against that Borrower in accordance with their respective terms; and

        

  	(b)	
          create legal, valid and binding Security Interests enforceable in accordance with their respective terms over all the assets to which they, by their terms, relate, subject to any relevant
            insolvency laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

        

  	10.7	
          No third party Security Interests.  Without limiting the generality of Clause 10.6, at the time of the execution and delivery of each Finance Document:

        

  	(a)	
          the Borrowers will have the right to create all the Security Interests which that Finance Document purports to create; and

        

  	(b)	
          no third party will have any Security Interest (except for Permitted Security Interests) or any other interest, right or claim over, in or in relation to any asset to which any such Security
            Interest, by its terms, relates.

        

  	10.8	
          No conflicts.  The execution by the Borrowers of each Finance Document to which they are a party, and the borrowing by the Borrowers of the Loan, and its
            compliance with each Finance Document to which they are a party will not involve or lead to a contravention of:

        

  	(a)	
          any law or regulation in any Relevant Jurisdiction; or

        

  	(b)	
          the constitutional documents of the Borrowers; or

        

  	(c)	
          any contractual or other obligation or restriction which is binding on the Borrowers or any of its assets, and will not have a Material Adverse Effect.

        

  	10.9	
          No withholding taxes.  All payments which the Borrowers are liable to make under the Finance Documents to which any of them is a party may be made without
            deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax payable under any law of any Relevant Jurisdiction.

        

  	10.10	
          No default.  No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

        

  	10.11	
          Information.  All information which has been provided in writing by or on behalf of the Borrowers or any Security Party to any Creditor Party in
            connection with any Finance Document satisfied the requirements of Clause 11.6; all audited and consolidated accounts which have been so provided satisfied the requirements of Clause 11.7; and there has been no Material Adverse Change in the
            financial position or state of affairs of the Borrowers from that disclosed in the latest of those accounts which constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.

        

  
    32

    
      

  

  

  

  	10.12	
          No litigation.  No legal or administrative action involving the Borrowers or any Security Party (including action relating to any alleged or actual breach
            of the ISM Code or the ISPS Code) has been commenced or taken or, to the Borrowers’ knowledge, is likely to be commenced or taken which, in either case and if determined adversely, would be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

        

  	10.13	
          Compliance with certain undertakings.  At the date of this Agreement, the Borrowers are in compliance with Clauses 11.2, 11.5, 11.9, 11.11 and 11.17.

        

  	10.14	
          Taxes paid.  The Borrowers have paid all taxes applicable to, or imposed on or in relation to them and their business.

        

  	10.15	
          ISM Code and ISPS Code compliance.  All requirements of the ISM Code and the ISPS Code as they relate to the Borrowers, the Approved Manager and the Ships
            have been complied with.

            at arm’s length under a charter party provided that it is not a part of any pool arrangement, in which case the Agent’s prior written consent will be required (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). For the avoidance of doubt the Agent
            has provided its consent in connection with the charter party dated 10/8/18 with Guardian Navigation GMax LLC and Ship A’s entry in the pool of Guardian Navigation GMax LLC.

        

  	14.15	
          ISPS Code.  The Borrowers shall comply with the ISPS Code and in particular, without limitation, shall:

        

  	(a)	
          procure that a Ship and the company responsible for such Ship’s compliance with the ISPS Code, comply with the ISPS Code; and

        

  	(b)	
          maintain for each Ship an ISSC; and

        

  	(c)	
          notify the Lender immediately in writing of any actual or threatened withdrawal, suspension, cancellation or modification of the ISSC.

        

  	14.16	
          Charter Assignment.  If a Borrower enters into any time charter or contract of affreightment in respect of its Ship which is of twelve (12) months or
            more in duration, or is capable of exceeding twelve (12) months in duration, that Borrower shall execute in favour of the Security Trustee a Charter Assignment and notice of assignment (and shall use its best endeavours to obtain an
            acknowledgement of the same from the relevant charterer or counterparty) of such time charter or contract of affreightment in such form and on such terms as the Agent may reasonably require, and shall deliver to the Agent such other documents
            equivalent to those referred to at paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Schedule 3, Part A hereof as the Agent may reasonably require.

        

  	15.	
          SECURITY COVER

        

  	15.1	
          Provision of additional security cover; prepayment of Loan.  The Borrowers undertake with each Creditor Party that if the Agent (acting on the
            instructions of the Majority Lenders) notifies the Borrowers that:

        

  	(a)	
          the aggregate of the Market Value (determined as provided below) of the Ships; plus

        

  	(b)	
          the net realisable value of any additional security previously provided under this Clause 15 (but always excluding any amounts standing to the credit of the Earnings Account(s) and the Retention
            Account),

        

  
    48

    
      

  

  

  

  is during the Security Period below one hundred and twenty per cent (120%) of the outstanding amount of the Loan, the Borrowers will, within thirty (30) days
    after the date on which the Agent’s notice is served, either:

  	(i)	
          provide, or ensure that a third party provides, additional security which, in the opinion of the Majority Lenders, has a net realisable value at least equal to the shortfall and which consists
            of either (aa) cash pledged to the Security Trustee or any other Creditor Party which when in the form of cash in Dollars, will be valued on a Dollar for Dollar basis or (bb) a Security Interest (including, but not limited to, a first priority
            mortgage or a second priority mortgage over another vessel), covering such asset or assets and documented in such terms as the Agent may, with authorisation from the Majority Lenders, approve or require; or

        

  	(ii)	
          prepay in accordance with Clause 8 such part of the Loan as will eliminate the shortfall, to be applied against repayment instalments of the  Loan (including the payment of the Balloon
            Instalment) on a pro rata basis.

        

  	15.2	
          Meaning of additional security.  In Clause 15.1 “security” means a Security Interest over an asset or assets
            (whether securing the Borrowers’ liabilities under the Finance Documents or a guarantee in respect of those liabilities), or a guarantee, letter of credit or other security in respect of the Borrowers’ liabilities under the Finance Documents,
            in each case in a form and substance acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion.

        

  	15.3	
          Requirement for additional documents.  The Borrowers shall not be deemed to have complied with Clause 15.1(i) above until the Agent has received in
            connection with the additional security certified copies of documents of the kinds referred to in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Schedule 3 (Part A) and such legal opinions in terms acceptable to lawyers selected by the Agent in its sole
            discretion.

        

  	15.4	
          Valuation of Ship.  Subject to the following provisions of this Clause 15.4, the Market Value of a Ship shall be determined:

        

  	(a)	
          in Dollars, as at the date of (or no earlier than 30 days prior to) such valuation;

        

  	(b)	
          by an independent shipbroker selected by or acceptable to the Agent and reporting to the Agent;

        

  	(c)	
          with or without physical inspection of the Ships (as the Agent may require);

        

  	(d)	
          on the basis of a sale for prompt delivery for cash on normal arm’s length commercial form as between a willing seller and a willing buyer, free of any existing charter or other contract of
            employment.

        

  	15.5	
          Value of additional vessel security.  The net realisable value of any additional security which is provided under Clause 15.1 (i) and which consists of a
            Security Interest over a vessel other than a Ship shall be that shown by way of a valuation complying with the requirements of Clause 15.4.

        

  	15.6	
          Valuations binding and conclusive.  Any valuation under Clause 15.1(i), 15.4 or 15.5 shall be binding and conclusive evidence of the Market Value of the
            Ships or of the other assets it refers to at the date of such valuation.

        

  	15.7	
          Provision of information.  The Borrowers shall promptly provide the Agent and any shipbroker or expert acting under Clause 15.4 or 15.5 with any
            information

        

  
    49

    
      

  

  

  

  which the Agent or the shipbroker or expert may reasonably request for the purposes of the valuation; and, if the Borrowers fail to provide
    the information by the date specified in the request, the valuation may be made on any basis and assumptions which the shipbroker or the Majority Lenders (or the expert appointed by them) consider prudent.

  	15.8	
          Payment of valuation expenses. Without prejudice to the generality of the Borrowers’ obligations under Clauses 20.2, 20.3 and 21.3, the Borrowers shall,
            subject to the provisions of Clause 15.9, on demand, pay the Agent the amount of the fees and expenses of any shipbrokers or experts instructed by the Agent under this Clause and all legal and other expenses incurred by any Creditor Party in
            connection with any matter arising out of this Clause.

        

  	15.9	
          Frequency of valuations. The Agent shall be entitled to obtain written valuations of the Ships prior to the drawdown of the relevant Tranche and any time
            during the Security Period, provided that after drawdown of the relevant Tranche the costs and expenses of such shall only be borne by the Borrowers once per year (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a mandatory
            prepayment event under Clause 8.8 has occurred, in which case the Agent shall be entitled to obtain a valuation at any time, at the cost and expense of the Borrowers).

        

  	16.	
          PAYMENTS AND CALCULATIONS

        

  	16.1	
          Currency and method of payments.  All payments to be made by the Lenders or by the Borrowers under a Finance Document shall be made to the Agent or to the
            Security Trustee, in the case of an amount payable to it:

        

  	(i)	
          by not later than 11.00 a.m. (New York City time) on the due date;

        

  	(ii)	
          in same day Dollar funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System (or in such other Dollar funds and/or settled in such other manner as the Agent shall specify as
            being customary at the time for the settlement of international transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement);

        

  	(iii)	
          if in Dollars, to the account of the Agent with such corresponding bank in New York as the Agent may from time to time notify to the Borrowers and the other Creditor Parties; and

        

  	(iv)	
          in the case of an amount payable to the Security Trustee, to such account as it may from time to time notify to the Borrowers and the other Creditor Parties.

        

  	16.2	
          Payment on non-Business Day.  If any payment by the Borrowers under a Finance Document would otherwise fall due on a day which is not a Business Day:

        

  	(a)	
          the due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day; or

        

  	(b)	
          if the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the due date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day,

        

  and interest shall be payable during any extension under paragraph (a) at the rate payable on the original due date.

  	16.3	
          Basis for calculation of periodic payments. All interest and commitment fee and any other payments under any Finance Document which are of an annual or

        

  
    50

    
      

  

  

  

  periodic nature shall accrue from day to day and shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year.

  	16.4	
          Distribution of payments to Creditor Parties. Subject to Clauses 16.5, 16.6 and 16.7:

        

  	(a)	
          any amount received by the Agent under a Finance Document for distribution or remittance to a Lender, or the Security Trustee shall be made available by the Agent to that Lender, or, as the case
            may be, the Security Trustee by payment, with funds having the same value as the funds received, to such Account as the Lender or the Security Trustee may have notified to the Agent not less than 5 Business Days previously; and

        

  	(b)	
          amounts to be applied in satisfying amounts of a particular category which are due to the Lenders generally shall be distributed by the Agent to each Lender pro rata to the amount in that
            category which is due to it.

        

  	16.5	
          Permitted deductions by Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Finance Document, the Agent may, before making an amount
            available to a Lender, deduct and withhold from that amount any sum which is then due and payable to the Agent from that Lender under any Finance Document or any sum which the Agent is then entitled under any Finance Document to require that
            Lender to pay on demand.

        

  	16.6	
          Agent only obliged to pay when monies received. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Finance Document, the Agent shall not
            be obliged to make available to the Borrowers or any Lender any sum which the Agent is expecting to receive for remittance or distribution to the Borrowers or that Lender until the Agent has satisfied itself that it has received that sum.

        

  	16.7	
          Refund to Agent of monies not received. If and to the extent that the Agent makes available a sum to the Borrowers or a Lender, without first having
            received that sum, the Borrowers or (as the case may be) the Lender concerned shall, on demand:

        

  	(a)	
          refund the sum in full to the Agent; and

        

  	(b)	
          pay to the Agent the amount (as certified by the Agent) which will indemnify the Agent against any funding or other loss, liability or expense incurred by the Agent as a result of making the sum
            available before receiving it.

        

  	16.8	
          Agent may assume receipt. Clause 16.7 shall not affect any claim which the Agent has under the law of restitution, and applies irrespective of whether the
            Agent had any form of notice that it had not received the sum which it made available.

        

  	16.9	
          Creditor Party accounts. Each Creditor Party shall maintain accounts showing the amounts owing to it by the Borrowers and each Security Party under the
            Finance Documents and all payments in respect of those amounts made by the Borrowers and any Security Party.

        

  	16.10	
          Agent’s memorandum account. The Agent shall maintain a memorandum account showing the amounts advanced by the Lenders and all other sums owing to the
            Agent, the Security Trustee and each Lender from the Borrowers and each Security Party under the Finance Documents and all payments in respect of those amounts made by the Borrowers and any Security Party.

        

  
    51

    
      

  

  

  

  	16.11	
          Accounts prima facie evidence. If any accounts maintained under Clauses 16.9 and 16.10 show an amount to be owing by the Borrowers or a Security Party to
            a Creditor Party, those accounts shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence that that amount is owing to that Creditor Party.

        

  	16.12	
          Contractual recognition of Bail-In.

        

  Notwithstanding any other term of any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the Parties, each Party acknowledges and
    accepts that any liability of any Party to any other Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:

  	(a)	
          any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):

        

  	

        	(i)	
          a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;

        

  	

        	(ii)	
          a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and

        

  	

        	(iii)	
          a cancellation of any such liability; and

        

  	(b)	
          a variation of any term of any Finance Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability.

        

  	17.	
          APPLICATION OF RECEIPTS

        

  	17.1	
          Normal order of application.  Except as any Finance Document may otherwise provide, any sums which are received or recovered by any Creditor Party under
            or by virtue of any Finance Document shall be applied:‐

        

  	(a)	
          FIRST: in or towards satisfaction of any amounts then due and payable under the Finance Documents in the following order and proportions:

        

  	

        	(i)	
          first, in or towards satisfaction pro rata of all amounts then due and payable to the Creditor Parties under the Finance Documents other than those amounts referred to at (ii) and (iii) below
            (including, but without limitation, all amounts payable by the Borrowers under Clauses 20, 21 and 22 of this Agreement or by the Borrowers or any Security Party under any corresponding or similar provision in any other Finance Document);

        

  	

        	(ii)	
          secondly, in or towards satisfaction pro rata of any and all amounts of interest or default interest payable to the Creditor Parties under the Finance Documents but shall have failed to pay or
            deliver to the Creditor Parties at the time of application or distribution under this Clause 17); and

        

  	

        	(iii)	
          thirdly, in or towards satisfaction pro rata of the Loan;

        

  	(b)	
          SECONDLY: in retention of an amount equal to any amount not then due and payable under any Finance Document but which the Agent, by notice to the Borrowers, the Security Parties and the other
            Creditor Parties, states in

        

  
    52

    
      

  

  

  

  its reasonable opinion will or may become due and payable in the future and, upon those amounts becoming due and payable, in or towards
    satisfaction of them in accordance with the provisions of Clause 17.1(a); and

  	(c)	
          THIRDLY: any surplus shall be paid to the Borrowers or to any other person appearing to be entitled to it.

        

  	17.2	
          Variation of order of application.  The Agent may, following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default which is continuing,
            with the authorisation of the Majority Lenders by notice to the Borrowers, the Security Parties and the other Creditor Parties provide for a different manner of application from that set out in Clause 17.1 either as regards a specified sum or
            sums or as regards sums in a specified category or categories.

        

  	17.3	
          Appropriation rights overriden. This Clause 17 and any notice which the Agent gives under Clause 17.2 shall override any right of appropriation possessed,
            and any appropriation made, by the Borrowers or any Security Party.

        

  	18.	
          APPLICATION OF EARNINGS

        

  	18.1	
          Payment and application of Earnings.  The Borrowers undertake with each Creditor Party to ensure that, throughout the Security Period (and subject only to
            the provisions of a General Assignment for a Mortgaged Ship), all the Earnings of a Mortgaged Ship are credited to the relevant Earnings Account related to such Mortgaged Ship and shall be applied as follows:

        

  	(a)	
          first, towards payment of all sums other than principal and interest due to the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents;

        

  	(b)	
          secondly, towards payment of the next instalment of principal and the next payment of interest due to the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of Clause 18.2; and

        

  	(c)	
          thirdly, any surplus shall (subject always to the other provisions of this Clause 18 and provided no Event of Default is continuing) be available to the Borrowers, and

        

  it is expressly agreed that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall be entitled to withdraw from the Earnings
    Account(s) any amount provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Agent or the Security Trustee (as the case may be) there will be insufficient sums standing to the credit of the Earnings Account(s) to meet payments under (a) and (b) above, the
    Agent or the Security Trustee (as the case may be) shall be entitled to refuse any withdrawal from the Earnings Account(s).

  	18.2	
          Monthly retentions.  The Borrowers undertake with each Creditor Party to ensure that, in each calendar month of the Security Period commencing one month
            after the Drawdown Date of the first Tranche, on such dates as the Agent may from time to time specify, there is transferred to the Retention Account out of the aggregate Earnings received in the Earnings Account(s) during the preceding
            calendar month:

        

  	(a)	
          one‐third of the amount of the repayment instalment falling due under Clause 8 on the next Repayment Date; and

        

  
    53

    
      

  

  

  

  	(b)	
          the relevant fraction of the aggregate amount of interest on the Loan which is payable on the next due date for payment of interest under this Agreement.

        

  The “relevant fraction” is a fraction of which the numerator is 1 and the denominator the number of months comprised in
    the then current Interest Period (or, if the period is shorter, the number of months from the later of the commencement of the current Interest Period or the last due date for payment of interest to the next due date for payment of interest under this
    Agreement).

  	18.3	
          Shortfall in Earnings.  If the aggregate Earnings received in the Earnings Accounts are insufficient in any month for the required amount to be
            transferred to the Retention Account under Clause 18.2, the Borrowers shall make up the amount of the insufficiency on demand from the Agent; but, without thereby prejudicing the Agent’s right to make such demand at any time, the Agent may
            permit the Borrowers or the holder of such Earnings Account to make up all or part of the insufficiency by increasing the amount of any transfer under Clause 18.2 from the Earnings received in the next or subsequent months.

        

  	18.4	
          Application of retentions.  Until an Event of Default occurs, the Lenders shall on each Repayment Date and on each due date for the payment of interest
            under this Agreement apply in accordance with the payment details set out in Clause 16.1 so much of the balance on the Retention Account as equals:

        

  	(a)	
          the repayment instalment due on that Repayment Date; or

        

  	(b)	
          the amount of interest payable on that interest payment date;

        

  in discharge of the Borrowers’ liability for that repayment instalment or that interest.

  	18.5	
          Interest accrued on Retention Account.  Any credit balance on the Retention Account shall bear interest at the rate from time to time offered by the
            Account Bank to its customers for Dollar deposits of similar amounts and for periods similar to those for which such balance appears to the Account Bank likely to remain on the Retention Account.

        

  	18.6	
          Location of accounts.  The Borrowers and each other holder of an Account shall maintain the Accounts with the Account Bank, free of Security Interest and
            rights of set-off (other than as created under the Accounts Pledges), until no amount remains outstanding under this Agreement or any other Finance Documents and shall procure that transfers are made from each Account (and irrevocably
            authorises the Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing  to instruct the Account Bank to transfer from each Account) in order to facilitate the payment of amounts required and/or contemplated by this Agreement
            and the other Finance Documents and shall promptly:

        

  	(a)	
          comply with any requirement of the Agent as to the location or re‐location of any of the Accounts;

        

  	(b)	
          execute any documents which the Lenders specify to create or maintain in execute any documents which the Agent specifies to create or maintain in favour of the Security Trustee a Security
            Interest over (and/or rights of set-off, consolidation or other rights in relation to) each Account.

        

  	18.7	
          Debits for expenses etc.  The Agent shall be entitled (but not obliged) from time to time to debit any Earnings Account with prior notice in order to
            discharge any

        

  
    54

    
      

  

  

  

  amount due and payable under Clause 20 or 21 to a Creditor Party or payment of which a Creditor Party has become entitled to demand under
    Clause 20 or 21.

  	18.8	
          Borrowers’ obligations unaffected.  The provisions of this Clause 18 do not affect:

        

  	(a)	
          the liability of the Borrowers to make payments of principal and interest on the due dates; or

        

  	(b)	
          any other liability or obligation of the Borrowers or any Security Party under any Finance Document.

        

  	19.	
          EVENTS OF DEFAULT

        

  	19.1	
          Events of Default.  An Event of Default occurs if:

        

  	(a)	
          the Borrowers or any Security Party fail to pay when due or (if payable on demand) three (3) days following the date on which the written demand is served any sum payable under a Finance
            Document or under any document relating to a Finance Document, unless such failure to pay is caused by an administrative or technical error or any disruption event in the payment/communication system which is beyond the control of the
            Borrowers, in which case the Borrowers shall rectify such error within three (3) Business Days; or

        

  	(b)	
          any breach occurs of Clauses 9.2, 10.12, 11.2, 11.11, 11.17, 12.2, 12.3, 13 or 15.1, and in case any such breach (other than those referred to in Clauses 9.2. 13 and 15.1 hereinabove to which
            other grace periods are applicable, as therein provided) is in the opinion of the Security Trustee, capable of remedy, if it will continue un-remedied for seven (7) Business Days after its occurrence; or

        

  	(c)

            could in the opinion of the Majority Lenders reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the security constituted by any of the Finance Documents and the Borrowers fail to register the Ships under another Approved Flag State as
            and when requested by the Majority lenders or do such other action as the Agent may reasonably require to ensure that such event or circumstance will not have a Material Adverse Effect within 30 days of notice  from the Agent or such longer

          making or lodging any claim or proof against the Borrowers or any Security Party, whether in its liquidation, any arrangement involving it or otherwise; or

        

  	(b)	
          obtaining an order or judgment from any court or other tribunal; or

        

  	(c)	
          enforcing any such order or judgment;

        

  the Borrowers or such other Security Party shall indemnify the Creditor Party concerned against any loss arising when the amount of the payment actually
    received by that Creditor Party is converted at the available rate of exchange into the Contractual Currency.

  In this Clause 21.5, the “available rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Creditor Party concerned is able at
    the opening of business (London time) on the Business Day after it receives the sum concerned to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency.

  This Clause 21.5 creates a separate liability of the Borrowers which is distinct from their other liabilities under the Finance Documents and which shall not be
    merged in any judgment or order relating to those other liabilities.

  	21.6	
          Certification of amounts.  A notice which is signed by 1 officer of a Creditor Party, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to
            that Creditor Party under this Clause 21 and which indicates (without necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of which the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall, save for manifest error, be prima facie evidence
            that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due.

        

  	21.7	
          Sums deemed due to a Lender.  For the purposes of this Clause 21, a sum payable by the Borrowers to the Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to
            a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender.

        

  	21.8	
          Mandatory Costs.  The Borrowers shall, on demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender, such amount which any Lender certifies in a
            notice to the Agent to be its good faith determination of the amount necessary to compensate it for complying with:

        

  	(a)	
          in the case of a Lender lending from a lending office in a Participating Member State, the minimum reserve requirements (or other requirements having the same or similar purpose) of the European
            Central Bank or any other authority or agency which replaces all or any of its functions) in respect of loans made from that lending office; and

        

  
    63

    
      

  

  

  

  	(b)	
          in the case of any Lender lending from a lending office in the United Kingdom, any reserve asset, special deposit or liquidity requirements (or other requirements having the same or similar
            purpose) of the Bank of England (or any other governmental authority or agency) and/or paying any fees to the Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation Authority (or any other governmental authority or agency which replaces
            all or any of their functions), which, in each case, is referable to that Lender’s participation in the Loan.

        

  	22.	
          NO SET-OFF OR TAX DEDUCTION

        

  	22.1	
          No deductions.  All amounts due from the Borrowers under a Finance Document shall be paid:

        

  	(a)	
          without any form of set‐off, cross-claim or condition; and

        

  	(b)	
          free and clear of any tax deduction except a tax deduction which the Borrowers are required by law to make.

        

  	22.2	
          Grossing-up for taxes.  If the Borrowers are required by law to make a tax deduction from any payment:

        

  	(a)	
          the Borrowers shall notify the Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement;

        

  	(b)	
          the Borrowers shall pay the tax deducted to the appropriate taxation authority promptly, and in any event before any fine or penalty arises;

        

  	(c)	
          the amount due in respect of the payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that each Creditor Party receives and retains (free from any liability relating to the tax
            deduction) a net amount which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount which it would otherwise have received.

        

  	22.3	
          Evidence of payment of taxes.  Within 1 month after making any tax deduction, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent documentary evidence satisfactory
            to the Agent that the tax had been paid to the appropriate taxation authority.

        

  	22.4	
          Exclusion of tax on overall net income.  In this Clause 22 “tax deduction” means any deduction or withholding for
            or on account of any present or future tax except tax on a Creditor Party’s overall net income.

        

  	22.5	
          FATCA Information.

        

  	(a)	
          Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

        

  	

        	(i)	
          confirm to that other Party whether it is a FATCA Exempt Party or is not a FATCA Exempt Party;

        

  	

        	(ii)	
          supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s
            compliance with FATCA; and

        

  
    64

    
      

  

  

  

  	

        	(iii)	
          supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with
            any other law, regulation or exchange of information regime.

        

  	(b)	
          If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a) (i) above 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 notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

        

  	(c)	
          Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Creditor Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion 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, 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 party for purposes of this paragraph (c).

        

  	(d)	
          If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a) above (including, for the
            avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA
            Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

        

  	22.6	
          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 Borrowers and the Agent and the Agent shall notify the other Creditor Parties.

        

  	22.7	
          Contractual recognition of Bail-In.

        

  Notwithstanding any other term of any Finance Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the Parties, each Party
    acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any Party to any other Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect
    of:

  	(a)	
          any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability applicable to such Party, including (without limitation):

        

  
    65

    
      

  

  

  

  	

        	(i)	
          a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;

        

  	

        	(ii)	
          a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to, or conferred on, it; and

        

  	

        	(iii)	
          a cancellation of any such liability; and

        

  	(b)	
          a variation of any term of any Finance Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability applicable to such Party.

        

  	23.	
          ILLEGALITY, ETC

        

  	23.1	
          Illegality.  This Clause 23 applies if a Lender (the “Notifying Lender”) notifies the Agent that it has become, or
            will with effect from a specified date, become:

        

  	(a)	
          unlawful or prohibited (including, without limitation, due to a breach of Clauses 11.17 or 11.18) as a result of the introduction of a new law, an amendment to an existing law or a change in the
            manner in which an existing law is or will be interpreted or applied; or

        

  	(b)	
          contrary to, or inconsistent with, any regulation,

        

  for the Notifying Lender to maintain or give effect to any of its obligations under this Agreement in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

  	23.2	
          Notification of illegality.  The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers, the Security Parties, the Security Trustee and the other Lenders of the notice
            under Clause 23.1 which the Agent receives from the Notifying Lender.

        

  	23.3	
          Prepayment; termination of Commitment. On the Agent notifying the Borrowers under Clause 23.2, the Notifying Lender’s Commitment shall terminate; and
            thereupon or, if later, on the date specified in the Notifying Lender’s notice under Clause 23.1 as the date on which the notified event would become effective the Borrowers shall prepay the Notifying Lender’s Contribution in accordance with
            Clause 8.

        

  	23.4	
          Mitigation.  If circumstances arise which would result in a notification under Clause 23.1 then, without in any way limiting the rights of the Notifying
            Lender under Clause 23.3, the Notifying Lender shall use reasonable endeavours to transfer its obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement and the Finance Documents to another office or financial institution not affected by the
            circumstances but the Notifying Lender shall not be under any obligation to take any such action if, in its opinion, to do would or might:

        

  	(a)	
          have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition; or

        

  	(b)	
          involve it in any activity which is unlawful or prohibited or any activity that is contrary to, or inconsistent with, any regulation; or

        

  	(c)	
          involve it in any expense (unless indemnified to its satisfaction) or tax disadvantage.

        

  
    66

    
      

  

  

  

  	24.	
          INCREASED COSTS

        

  	24.1	
          Increased costs.  This Clause 24 applies if the Notifying Lender notifies the Agent that it considers that as a result of:

        

  	(a)	
          the introduction or alteration after the date of this Agreement of a law or an alteration after the date of this Agreement in the manner in which a law is interpreted or applied (disregarding
            any effect which relates to the application to payments under this Agreement of a tax on the Lender’s overall net income); or

        

  	(b)	
          the effect of complying with any regulation (including any regulation which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which the Notifying Lender allocates
            capital resources to its obligations under this Agreement) which is introduced, or altered, or the interpretation or application of which is altered, after the date of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Basel III and CRD IV costs),

        

  is that the Notifying Lender (or a parent company of it) has incurred or will incur an “increased cost”, that is to say,:

  	

        	(i)	
          an additional or increased cost incurred as a result of, or in connection with, the Notifying Lender having entered into, or being a party to, this Agreement or a Transfer Certificate, of
            funding or maintaining its Commitment or Contribution or performing its obligations under this Agreement, or of having outstanding all or any part of its Contribution or other unpaid sums; or

        

  	

        	(ii)	
          a reduction in the amount of any payment to the Notifying Lender under this Agreement or in the effective return which such a payment represents to the Notifying Lender or on its capital;

        

  	

        	(iii)	
          an additional or increased cost of funding all or maintaining all or any of the advances comprised in a class of advances formed by or including the Notifying Lender’s Contribution or (as the
            case may require) the proportion of that cost attributable to the Contribution; or

        

  	

        	(iv)	
          a liability to make a payment, or a return foregone, which is calculated by reference to any amounts received or receivable by the Notifying Lender under this Agreement;

        

  but not an item attributable to a change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of the Notifying Lender (or a parent company of it) or an item covered by
    the indemnity for tax in Clause 21.1 or by Clause 22 or which is attributable to a FATCA Deduction.

  For the purposes of this Clause 24.1 the Notifying Lender may in good faith allocate or spread costs and/or losses among its assets and liabilities (or any
    class thereof) on such basis as it considers appropriate.

  	24.2	
          Notification to Borrowers of claim for increased costs.  The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Security Parties of the notice which the
            Agent received from the Notifying Lender under Clause 24.1.

        

  	24.3	
          Payment of increased costs.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, on the Agent’s demand, for the account of the Notifying Lender the amounts which the
            Agent

        

  
    67

    
      

  

  

  

  from time to time notifies the Borrowers that the Notifying Lender has specified to be necessary to compensate the Notifying Lender for the
    increased cost.

  	24.4	
          Notice of prepayment.  If the Borrowers are not willing to continue to compensate the Notifying Lender for the increased cost under Clause 24.3, the
            Borrowers may give the Agent not less than 14 days’ notice of its intention to prepay the Notifying Lender’s Contribution at the end of an Interest Period.

        

  	24.5	
          Prepayment; termination of Commitment.  A notice under Clause 24.4 shall be irrevocable; the Agent shall promptly notify the Notifying Lender of the
            Borrowers’ notice of intended prepayment; and:

        

  	(a)	
          on the date on which the Agent serves that notice, the Commitment of the Notifying Lender shall be cancelled; and

        

  	(b)	
          on the date specified in its notice of intended prepayment, the Borrowers shall prepay (without premium or penalty) the Notifying Lender’s Contribution, together with accrued interest thereon at
            the applicable rate plus the Margin.

        

  	24.6	
          Application of prepayment. Clause 8 shall apply in relation to the prepayment.

        

  	25.	
          SET‐OFF

        

  	25.1	
          Application of credit balances.  Each Creditor Party may without prior notice at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing:

        

  	(a)	
          apply any balance (whether or not then due) which at any time stands to the credit of any Account in the name of the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor at any office in any country of that Creditor
            Party in or towards satisfaction of any sum then due from the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor to that Creditor Party under any of the Finance Documents; and

        

  	(b)	
          for that purpose:

        

  	

        	(i)	
          break, or alter the maturity of, all or any part of a deposit of the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor;

        

  	

        	(ii)	
          convert or translate all or any part of a deposit or other credit balance into Dollars;

        

  	

        	(iii)	
          enter into any other transaction or make any entry with regard to the credit balance which the Creditor Party concerned considers appropriate.

        

  	25.2	
          Existing rights unaffected.  No Creditor Party shall be obliged to exercise any of its rights under Clause 25.1; and those rights shall be without
            prejudice and in addition to any right of set‐off, combination of accounts, charge, lien or other right or remedy to which a Creditor Party is entitled (whether under the general law or any document).

        

  	25.3	
          Sums deemed due to a Lender.  For the purposes of this Clause 25, a sum payable by the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor to the Agent or the Security Trustee
            for distribution to, or for the account of, a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that

        

  
    68

    
      

  

  

  

  Lender; and each Lender’s proportion of a sum so payable for distribution to, or for the account of, the Lenders shall be treated as a sum
    due to such Lender.

  	25.4	
          No Security Interest.  This Clause 25 gives the Lenders a contractual right of set off only, and does not create any equitable charge or other Security
            Interest over any credit balance of the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor.

        

  	25.5	
          No Borrowers’/Guarantor’s set off. The Borrowers and/or the Guarantor shall not have a right of set off in relation to sums that may be due from any
            Creditor Party under this Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents.

        

  	26.	
          TRANSFERS AND CHANGES IN LENDING OFFICES

        

  	26.1	
          Transfer by the Borrowers.  The Borrowers may not:

        

  	(a)	
          without the prior written consent of the Agent (given on the instructions of all of the Lenders), transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Finance Document;

        

  	(b)	
          without the prior written consent of the Agent (given on the instructions of all the Lenders), enter into any merger, de-merger or other reorganisation, or carry out any other act, as a result
            of which any of its rights or liabilities would vest in, or pass to, another person.

        

  	26.2	
          Transfer by a Lender.  Subject to Clause 26.4, a Lender (the “Transferor Lender”) may, at its sole discretion and
            at its own expense, without the consent of and/or the prior consultation with the Borrowers (but with notice to the Borrowers) and/or any Security Party, at any time assign or transfer by novation (as applicable):

        

  	(a)	
          its rights in respect of all or part of its Contribution; or

        

  	(b)	
          its obligations in respect of all or part of its Commitment; or

        

  	(c)	
          a combination of (a) and (b);

        

  to be (in the case of its rights) assigned or transferred to, or (in the case of its obligations) assumed by and novated to, another bank or financial
    institution, or by 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 (a “Transferee Lender”)
    by delivering to the Agent a completed certificate in the form set out in Schedule 4 with any modifications approved or required by the Agent (a “Transfer Certificate”) executed by the Transferor Lender and the
    Transferee Lender and should the Transfer Certificate alone be not sufficient in the Transferor Lender’s or Transferee Lender’s jurisdiction for a Transferor Lender to transfer all or a proportionate share of the Transferor Lender’s interest in the
    security constituted by the Finance Documents, the Borrowers hereby undertake, 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 Finance 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.

  
    69

    
      

  

  

  

  However any rights and obligations of the Transferor Lender in its capacity as Agent or Security Trustee shall be dealt with separately in accordance with the
    Agency and Trust Deed.

  	26.3	
          Transfer Certificate, delivery and notification.  As soon as reasonably practicable after a Transfer Certificate is delivered to the Agent, it shall
            (unless it has reason to believe that the Transfer Certificate may be defective):

        

  	(a)	
          sign the Transfer Certificate on behalf of itself, the Borrowers, the Security Parties, the Security Trustee, the Arranger, the Account Bank and each of the Lenders;

        

  	(b)	
          on behalf of the Transferee Lender, send to the Borrowers and each Security Party letters or faxes or electronic mail notifying them of the Transfer Certificate and attaching a copy of it;

        

  	(c)	
          send to the Transferee Lender copies of the letters or faxes or electronic mail sent under paragraph (b) above.

        

  	26.4	
          Effective Date of Transfer Certificate.  A Transfer Certificate becomes effective on the date, if any, specified in the Transfer Certificate as its
            effective date Provided that it is signed by the Agent under Clause 26.3 on or before that date.

        

  	26.5	
          No transfer without Transfer Certificate.  No assignment or transfer of any right or obligation of a Lender under any Finance Document is binding on, or
            effective in relation to, the Borrowers, any Security Party, the Agent or the Security Trustee unless it is effected, evidenced or perfected by a Transfer Certificate.

        

  	26.6	
          Lender re-organisation; waiver of Transfer Certificate.  However, if a Lender enters into any merger, de-merger or other reorganisation as a result of
            which all its rights or obligations vest in another person (the “successor”), the Agent may, if it sees fit, by notice to the successor and the Borrowers and the Security Trustee waive the need for the
            execution and delivery of a Transfer Certificate; and, upon service of the Agent’s notice, the successor shall become a Lender with the same Commitment and Contribution as were held by the predecessor Lender.  In addition, where security rights
            (such as pledge and mortgage rights) created in the interest of the Lender concerned were transferred to the successor as a result of such a merger, de-merger or other reorganisation, then such rights will serve as if they were created in the
            interest of the successor.

        

  	26.7	
          Effect of Transfer Certificate.  A Transfer Certificate takes effect in accordance with English law as follows:

        

  	(a)	
          to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate, all rights, interests and/or obligations (present, future or contingent) which the Transferor Lender has under or by virtue of the Finance
            Documents are assigned and/or transferred by novation (as applicable) to the Transferee Lender absolutely, free of any defects in the Transferor Lender’s title and of any rights or equities which the Borrowers or any Security Party had against
            the Transferor Lender;

        

  	(b)	
          the Transferor Lender’s Commitment is discharged to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate;

        

  
    70

    
      

  

  

  

  	(c)	
          the Transferee Lender becomes a Lender with the Contribution previously held by the Transferor Lender and a Commitment of an amount specified in the Transfer Certificate;

        

  	(d)	
          the Transferee Lender becomes bound by all the provisions of the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally, including those about pro‐rata sharing and the exclusion of
            liability on the part of, and the indemnification of, the Agent and the Security Trustee and, to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes bound by those provisions (other than those relating to exclusion of liability), the Transferor
            Lender ceases to be bound by them;

        

  	(e)	
          any part of the Loan which the Transferee Lender advances after the Transfer Certificate’s effective date ranks in point of priority and security in the same way as it would have ranked had it
            been advanced by the transferor, assuming that any defects in the transferor’s title and any rights or equities of the Borrowers or any Security Party against the Transferor Lender had not existed;

        

  	(f)	
          the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to all the rights under the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally, including but not limited to those relating to the Majority
            Lenders and those under Clause 5.7 and Clause 21, and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be entitled to them; and

        

  	(g)	
          in respect of any breach of a warranty, undertaking, condition or other provision of a Finance Document or any misrepresentation made in or in connection with a Finance Document, the Transferee
            Lender shall be entitled to recover damages by reference to the loss incurred by it as a result of the breach or misrepresentation, irrespective of whether the original Lender would have incurred a loss of that kind or amount.

        

  The rights and equities of the Borrowers or any Security Party referred to above include, but are not limited to, any right of set off and any other kind of
    cross‐claim.

  	26.8	
          Maintenance of register of Lenders.  During the Security Period the Agent shall maintain a register in which it shall record the name, Commitment,
            Contribution and administrative details (including the lending office) from time to time of each Lender holding a Transfer Certificate and the effective date (in accordance with Clause 26.4) of the Transfer Certificate; and the Agent shall make
            the register available for inspection by any Lender, the Security Trustee and the Borrowers during normal banking hours, subject to receiving at least 3 Business Days prior notice.

        

  	26.9	
          Reliance on register of Lenders.  The entries on that register shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive in determining the identities of the
            Lenders and the amounts of their Commitments and Contributions and the effective dates of Transfer Certificates and may be relied upon by the Agent and the other parties to the Finance Documents for all purposes relating to the Finance
            Documents.

        

  	26.10	
          Authorisation of Agent to sign Transfer Certificates.  The Borrowers, the Arranger, the Account Bank, the Security Trustee, each Lender irrevocably
            authorise the Agent to sign Transfer Certificates on its behalf.

        

  	26.11	
          Registration fee. In respect of any Transfer Certificate, the Agent shall be entitled to recover a registration fee of $2,500 from the Transferor Lender
            or (at the

        

  
    71

    
      

  

  

  

  Agent’s option) the Transferee Lender. Such fees will not burden any of the Security Parties under any circumstances.

  	26.12	
          Sub-participation; subrogation assignment.  A Lender may sub‐participate all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under or in connection with the
            Finance Documents without the consent of, or any notice to, the Borrowers, any Security Party, the Agent or the Security Trustee; and the Lenders may assign, in any manner and terms agreed by the Majority Lenders, the Agent and the Security
            Trustee, all or any part of those rights to an insurer or surety who has become subrogated to them.

        

  	26.13	
          Disclosure of information.  A Lender may disclose to a potential Transferee Lender or sub‐participant any information necessary to effect the relevant
            transaction which the Lender has received in relation to the Borrowers, any Security Party or their affairs under or in connection with any Finance Document, provided that the potential Transferee Lender or sub-participant shall have first
            signed a confidentiality undertaking in relation thereto.

        

  	26.14	
          Change of lending office.  A Lender may change its lending office without consultation with the Borrowers by giving notice to the Agent and the change
            shall become effective on the later of:

        

  	(a)	
          the date on which the Agent receives the notice; and

        

  	(b)	
          the date, if any, specified in the notice as the date on which the change will come into effect.

        

  	26.15	
          Notification.  On receiving such a notice, the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Security Trustee; and, until the Agent receives such a notice, it
            shall be entitled to assume that a Lender is acting through the lending office of which the Agent last had notice.

        

  	26.16	
          Security over Lenders’ rights.  In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 26, each Lender may without consulting with or
            obtaining consent from, the Borrowers or any other Security Party, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create a Security Interest in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to
            secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:

        

  	(a)	
          any charge, 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 charge, 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 charge, assignment or Security Interest shall:

  	

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

        

  	

        	(ii)	
          require any payments to be made by the Borrowers or any other Security Party or grant to any person any more extensive rights than

        

  
    72

    
      

  

  

  

  those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

  	26.17

  	27.	
          VARIATIONS AND WAIVERS

        

  	27.1	
          Variations, waivers etc. by Majority Lenders.  Subject to Clause 27.2, a document shall be effective to vary, waive, suspend or limit any provision of a
            Finance Document, or any Creditor Party’s rights or remedies under such a provision or the general law, only if the document is signed, or specifically agreed to by fax or electronic mail, by the Borrowers, by the Agent on behalf of the
            Majority Lenders, by the Agent and the Security Trustee in their own rights, and, if the document relates to a Finance Document to which a Security Party is party, by that Security Party.

        

  	27.2	
          Variations, waivers etc. requiring agreement of all Lenders.  However, as regards the following, Clause 27.1 applies as if the words “by the Agent on
            behalf of the Majority Lenders” were replaced by the words “by or on behalf of every Lender”:

        

  	(a)	
          a reduction in the Margin or in the definition of LIBOR;

        

  	(b)	
          a postponement to the date for, or a reduction in the amount of, any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other sums payable under this Agreement;

        

  	(c)	
          an increase in any Lender’s Commitment;

        

  	(d)	
          an extension of the Availability Period;

  	(g)	
          a change to Clause 3 or this Clause 27;

    73

    
      

  

  

  

  	(i)	
          any other change or matter as regards which this Agreement or another Finance Document expressly provides that each Lender’s consent is required.

        

  	27.3	
          Exclusion of other or implied variations.  Except for a document which satisfies the requirements of Clauses 27.1 and 27.2, no document, and no act,
            course of conduct, failure or neglect to act, delay or acquiescence on the part of the Creditor Parties or any of them (or any person acting on behalf of any of them) shall result in the Creditor Parties or any of them (or any person acting on
            behalf of any of them) being taken to have varied, waived, suspended or limited, or being precluded (permanently or temporarily) from enforcing, relying on or exercising:

        

  	(a)	
          a provision of this Agreement or another Finance Document; or

        

  	(b)	
          an Event of Default; or

        

  	(c)	
          a breach by the Borrowers or a Security Party of an obligation under a Finance Document or the general law; or

        

  	(d)	
          any right or remedy conferred by any Finance Document or by the general law,

        

  and there shall not be implied into any Finance Document any term or condition requiring any such provision to be enforced, or such right or remedy to be
    exercised, within a certain or reasonable time.

  	27.4	
          Notification of Variation or Waiver.  No variation or waiver may be made before the date falling ten (10) Business Days after the terms of that variation
            or waiver have been notified by the Agent to the Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Lenders reasonably promptly of any variations or waivers proposed by the Borrowers.

        

  	27.5	
          Variation or Waiver: FATCA.

        

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 Borrowers and the Agent accordingly, that amendment or waiver may, subject to
    paragraph (b) below, not be effected without the consent of the Agent or that Lender (as the case may be).
