                Drawdown Notice
      irrevocable.  A Drawdown Notice must be signed by an
      officer or duly authorized attorney-in-fact of the Borrower; and once
      served, a Drawdown Notice cannot be revoked without the prior consent of
      the Agent, acting with the authority of the Majority
    Lenders.

                Disbursement of an
      Advance.  Subject to the provisions of this
      Agreement:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                Each
      Lender shall before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) make its Ratable
      Portion of each Advance available to the Agent, for the account of the
      Borrower, on and with the value date of the Expected Drawdown Date for
      such Advance.  After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon
      fulfillment or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Clause 8
      hereof, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by paying
      such funds to such account(s) which the Borrower specifies in the Drawdown
      Notice.  The payment by the Agent under this Clause 3.4 to such
      account(s) shall constitute the making of an Advance to the Borrower and
      the Borrower shall thereupon become indebted to each Lender in an amount
      equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of each
  Advance.

              

      

      

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

       

      
        	
                (b)

              	
                Unless
      the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the relevant
      Expected Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to the
      Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of an Advance, the Agent may assume,
      or at its option request confirmation from such Lender, that such Lender
      has made its Ratable Portion available to the Agent on such date in
      accordance with subsection (a) of this Clause 3.4 and the Agent may in its
      sole discretion, in reliance upon such assumption or confirmation (as the
      case may be), make available to the Borrower (by paying such funds to such
      account(s) which the Borrower specifies in the Drawdown Notice) on such
      date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such
      Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Agent,
      such Lender and the Borrower (but without duplication) severally agree to
      repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together
      with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
      available to the Borrower by the Agent until the date such amount is
      repaid to the Agent, at the LIBOR rate for overnight or weekend
      deposits.  If such Lender shall pay to the Agent such
      corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
      Ratable Portion of such Advance for purposes of this
      Agreement.  Nothing in this Clause 3.4(b) shall be deemed to
      relieve any Lender of its obligation to make Advances to the extent
      provided in this Agreement.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (c)

              	
                In
      the event that the Borrower is required to repay all or a portion of an
      Advance pursuant to Clause 3.4(b), as between the Borrower and the
      defaulting Lender, the liability for any breakage costs as described in
      Clause 16.2 shall be borne by the defaulting Lender, provided that if the
      defaulting Lender has not paid any such breakage costs upon demand by the
      Agent therefor, the Borrower shall pay such breakage costs upon demand by
      the Agent and the Borrower shall be entitled to recover from the
      defaulting Lender any such payment for breakage costs made by the
      Borrower.

                Notation of Advances on
      Notes.  Each Advance of a Tranche made by the Lenders to
      the Borrower may be evidenced by a notation of the same made by the Agent
      on the grid attached to the relevant Note, which notation, absent manifest
      error, shall be prima
      facie evidence of the amount of the relevant
    Advance.

                Normal rate of
      interest.  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
      the rate of interest on each Advance of a Tranche in respect of an
      Interest Period shall be the aggregate of LIBOR and the applicable Margin
      for that Interest Period.

      Interest Period.

      three (3) months, accrued interest shall be paid in arrears on the last
      day of every three (3) month period during that Interest Period and on the
      last day of that Interest Period.

      having Commitments amounting to more than 50% of the Total Commitments
      notify the Agent that LIBOR fixed by the Agent would not accurately
      reflect the cost to those Lenders of funding their respective Ratable
      Portion (or any part of them) during the Interest Period in the London
      Interbank Market at or about 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Quotation

      all or any part of its Ratable Portion of an Advance or Advances during
      any Interest Period,

                Suspension of

      in the Agent’s notice continue:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

                Negotiation of alternative rate
      of interest.  If the Agent’s notice under Clause 4.5 is
      served after an Advance is made, the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders
      or (as the case may be) the Affected Lender shall use reasonable endeavors
      to agree, within the 30 days after the date on which the Agent serves its
      notice under Clause 4.5 (the “Negotiation Period”), an
      alternative interest rate or (as the case may be) an alternative basis for
      each Lender or (as the case may be) the Affected Lender to fund or
      continue to fund their Ratable Portion of the relevant Advance or Advances
      during the Interest Period concerned.

                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 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 currency of their or
      its Ratable Portion of the relevant Advance or Advances plus the
      applicable Margin; and the procedure provided for by this Clause 4.9 shall
      be repeated if the relevant circumstances are continuing at the end of the
      interest period so set by the Agent.

      interest rate set by the Agent under Clause 4.9, the Borrower may give the
      Agent not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice of their intention to
      prepay (without premium or penalty) the relevant Advance or Advances at
      the end of the interest period set by the
Agent.

                Prepayment.  A
      notice under Clause 4.10 shall be irrevocable.  The Agent shall
      promptly notify the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Affected Lender of
      the Borrower’s notice of intended prepayment and:

      of up to or equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loan
      outstanding from time to time on such terms as the Swap Bank and the
      Borrower shall agree.  The Borrower hereby agrees and undertakes
      throughout the Security Period not to conclude Designated Transactions
      which would result, at any time during the Security Period, in the
      notional principal amount of all Designated Transactions then remaining
      exceeding the amount of the Loan, as reduced from time to time pursuant to

      Borrower of each interest rate determined by the Agent under Clause 6.2;

                Each
      reduction in the Commitments in respect of the Tranche A Loan pursuant to
      this Clause 7.1 shall cause the amount of such Commitments to be
      permanently reduced by the amount of the reduction.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (c)

              	
                The
      Borrower shall ensure that at all times the aggregate outstanding amount
      of the Advances in respect of the Tranche A Loan is not greater than the
      then applicable Commitments in respect of the Tranche A Loan and, without
      prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall if
      necessary prepay some or all of the outstanding Advances in respect of the
      Tranche A Loan so that the aggregate outstanding amount of such Advances
      does not (taking into account the scheduled reduction of the Commitments
      in respect of the Tranche A Loan) exceed the Commitments in respect of the
      Tranche A Loan as reducing from time to time thereafter pursuant to this
      Clause 7.1.  For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts prepaid
      pursuant to this Clause 7.1(c) may not be reborrowed.

                (a)

              	
                The
      Borrower shall repay each Advance of the Tranche A Loan to the Agent for
      the account of the Lenders on the last day of the Interest Period in
      respect of such Advance unless the Borrower selects a further Interest
      Period for such Advance in accordance with Clause 5; provided that the
      Borrower shall not be permitted to select such a further Interest Period
      if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

      prepayment.  Subject to the conditions stated in Clause
      7.6, the Borrower may prepay the whole or any part of either Tranche of
      the Loan on the last day of an Interest Period.  Any partial
      prepayment under this Clause 7.5 shall be applied to the prepayment on a
      pro rata basis of
      the outstanding Advances of the Tranche(s) designated by the Borrower in a
      notice of prepayment to be prepaid and, in the case of the Tranche B Loan,
      the remaining repayment installments due thereunder shall be recalculated
      by the Agent and promptly advised to the Borrower.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                7.6

              	
                Conditions for voluntary
      prepayment.  The conditions referred to in Clause 7.5 are
      that:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                a
      partial prepayment shall be $1,000,000 or a higher integral multiple
      thereof;

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                the
      Agent has received from the Borrower at least five (5) Business Days’
      prior written notice specifying the amount to be prepaid and the date on
      which the prepayment is to be made; and

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (c)

              	
                the
      Borrower has provided evidence satisfactory to the Agent that any consent
      required by the Borrower in connection with the prepayment has been
      obtained and remains in force, and that any regulation relevant to this
      Agreement which affects the Borrower has been complied with (which may be
      satisfied by the Borrower certifying that no consents are required and
      that no regulations need to be complied with).

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                7.7

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

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                7.8

              	
                Notification to Lenders of
      notice of prepayment.  The Agent shall notify the Lenders
      promptly upon receiving a prepayment notice, and shall provide any Lender
      which so requests with a copy of any document delivered by the Borrower
      under Clause 7.6(c).

      and prepayment on sale or Total Loss.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                If
      a Ship is sold or becomes a Total Loss, then except as provided in Clause
      7.9(b), the then applicable Total Commitments shall be reduced by an
      amount (the “Mandatory
      Commitment Reduction Amount”) equal to such Total Commitments
      multiplied by the Mandatory Prepayment Ratio.  The Mandatory
      Commitment Reduction Amount shall then be applied on a pro rata basis to each
      Tranche of the Loan to permanently reduce the Total Commitments in respect
      of each such Tranche and:

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (i)

              	
                with
      respect to the Tranche A Loan, the amount of the remaining scheduled
      semi-annual Commitment reductions under Clause 7.1 shall be permanently
      reduced on a pro
      rata basis; and

              

      

      

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

       

      
        	 
      	
                (ii)

              	
                the
      Borrower shall prepay such amount of the Advances in respect of each
      Tranche of the Loan which exceeds the amount of the reduced Total
      Commitments of such Tranche.

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                The
      Borrower shall make any mandatory prepayment that is due under this Clause
      7.9(a):

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (1)

              	
                in
      the case of a sale, on or before the date on which the sale is completed
      by delivery of the Ship to the buyer; or

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (2)

              	
                the
      case of a Total Loss, on the earlier of the date falling 120 days after
      the Total Loss Date and the date of receipt by the Security Trustee of the
      proceeds of insurance relating to such Total Loss.

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                Any
      prepayment under Clause 7.9(a)(ii) shall be applied to the prepayment on a
      pro rata basis of
      the outstanding Advances of the Tranche(s) requiring prepayment and, in
      the case of the Tranche B Loan, the remaining repayment installments due
      thereunder shall be recalculated by the Agent and promptly advised to the
      Borrower.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                Notwithstanding
      the provisions of Clause 7.9(a), if a Ship is sold or becomes a Total Loss
      the Borrower may elect to cause the sale proceeds or insurance proceeds
      (as the case may be) to be deposited with and held by the Security Trustee
      in its sole control as Collateral for the Secured
    Liabilities:

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (i)

              	
                in
      the case of a sale, on the date on which the sale is completed by delivery
      of such Ship to the buyer; or

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (ii)

              	
                the
      case of a Total Loss, on the earlier of the date falling 120 days after
      the Total Loss Date and the date of receipt by the Security Trustee of the
      proceeds of insurance relating to such Total Loss.

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                The
      Borrower hereby pledges, assigns, transfers and sets over unto the
      Security Trustee absolutely, for and on behalf of the Lenders and the Swap
      Bank, and hereby grants to the Security Trustee a continuing, first
      priority security interest in and to all of the Borrowers’ right, title
      and interest under, in and to such sale proceeds or insurance proceeds (as
      the case may be).

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                If
      within 90 days after the date on which the sale of the relevant Ship is
      completed or 180 days after the Total Loss Date (as the case may be) the
      Borrower or a Replacement Ship Owner (as the case may be) (i) purchases a
      vessel (a “Replacement
      Ship”) that, in the reasonable discretion of the Majority Lenders,
      is of the same or better type, age, quality and condition as the Ship that
      was lost or sold and (ii) executes (or causes the execution of) such
      Finance Documents in respect of such Replacement Ship and Replacement Ship
      Owner (including, without limitation, a Share Pledge in respect of the
      capital stock of such Replacement Ship Owner) as the Agent may request,
      then the Security Trustee, upon the written request of the Borrower, shall
      release such sale proceeds or insurance proceeds (as the case may be) held
      by it to the Borrower and no Commitment reduction or prepayment shall be
      required under Clause 7.9(a) in respect of the Tranche A Loan or, during
      the period between the Closing Date and the fifth (5th) Business Day
      preceding the third anniversary thereof, the Tranche B
    Loan.

              

      

      

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

       

      
        	 
      	
                If,
      however, the Borrower or a Replacement Ship Owner (as the case may be)
      does not purchase a Replacement Ship within 90 days after the date on
      which the sale of the relevant Ship is completed or 180 days after the
      Total Loss Date (as the case may be), then the sale proceeds or insurance
      proceeds (as the case may be) deposited with and held by the Security
      Trustee shall be applied by the Security Trustee and the Total Commitments
      shall be reduced as required under Clause 7.9(a).

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                7.10

              	
                Amounts payable on
      prepayment.  A prepayment shall be made together with
      accrued interest (and any other amount payable under Clause 16.1 below or
      otherwise) in respect of the amount prepaid and, if the prepayment is not
      made on the last day of an Interest Period, together with any sums payable
      under Clause 16.2, but without premium or penalty.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                7.11.

              	
                Reborrowing.  Subject
      to the terms of this Agreement, any amount repaid or
    prepaid:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                in
      respect of the Tranche A Loan may be reborrowed during the Availability
      Period applicable to the Tranche A Loan; and

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                in
      respect of the Tranche B Loan may not be reborrowed.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                7.12

              	
                Voluntary cancellation of
      Commitments.  Subject to the conditions stated in Clause
      7.13, the Borrower may cancel the whole or any part of the Total
      Commitments in respect of either Tranche of the Loan at any time and
      without penalty.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                7.13

              	
                Conditions for cancellation of
      Commitments.  The conditions referred to in Clause 7.12
      are that:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                a
      partial cancellation shall be $5,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of
      $1,000,000; and

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                the
      Agent has received from the Borrower at least three (3) Business Days’
      prior written notice specifying the amount (and the Tranche) of the Total
      Commitments to be cancelled and the date on which the cancellation is to
      take effect.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                7.14

              	
                Effect of notice of
      cancellation.  A cancellation notice may not be withdrawn
      or amended without the consent of the Agent, acting with the consent of
      the Majority Lenders, and shall cause the amount of the Total Commitments
      specified in the notice to be permanently cancelled.  Any
      partial cancellation shall be applied against the Commitment of each
      Lender pro rata
      (and also, in respect of the Tranche A Loan, on a pro rata basis against
      the future reductions of the Total Commitments pursuant to Clause
      7.1).

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                7.15

              	
                Notification to Lenders of
      notice of cancellation.  The Agent shall notify the
      Lenders promptly upon receiving a cancellation notice.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                7.16

              	
                Unwinding of Designated
      Transactions.  On or prior to any repayment or prepayment
      under this Clause 7, Clause 10.3 or any other provision of this Agreement,
      the Borrower shall wholly or partially reverse, offset, unwind or
      otherwise terminate one or more of the continuing Designated Transactions
      to the extent necessary to ensure that the aggregate notional principal
      amount of the continuing Designated Transactions thereafter remaining does
      not and will not in the future (taking into account the scheduled
      amortization thereof) exceed the aggregate amount of the Loan scheduled to
      be outstanding from time to time
hereunder.

              

      

      

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

       

      
        	
                7.17

              	
                Repayment of Swap
      Benefit.  If a Designated Transaction is terminated in
      circumstances where the Swap Bank would be obliged to pay an amount to the
      Borrower under the Master Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees that such
      payment shall be applied in prepayment of the Loan under Clause 7.5 and
      authorizes Swap Bank to pay such amount to the Agent for such
      purpose.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                8

      PRECEDENT TO THE ADVANCES

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                8.1

              	
                Documents, fees and no
      default.  Each Lender’s obligation to make its Ratable
      Portion of an Advance is subject to the following conditions
      precedent:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                that
      on or before the service of the first Drawdown Notice, the Agent shall
      have received:

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (i)

              	
                the
      documents described in Part A of Schedule 3 in form and substance
      satisfactory to the Agent and its lawyers;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (ii)

              	
                such
      documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Agent
      or a Lender in order for each Lender to carry out and be satisfied with
      the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other checks which it
      is required to carry out in relation to the transactions contemplated by
      this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, including without
      limitation obtaining, verifying and recording certain information and
      documentation that will allow the Agent and each of the Lenders to
      identify each of the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the
      requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.: 107-56 (signed
      into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”);
      and

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (iii)

              	
                payment
      of all accrued commitment fees and all other fees and expenses referred to
      in Clause 15 that are payable at that time;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                that
      on or before an Expected Drawdown Date in respect of an Advance of the
      Tranche A Loan, the Agent shall have received the documents described in
      Part B of Schedule 3 in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and
      its lawyers;

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (c)

              	
                that
      on or before an Expected Drawdown Date in respect of an Advance of the
      Tranche B Loan, the Agent shall have received the documents described in
      Part C of Schedule 3 in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and
      its lawyers;

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (d)

              	
                that
      at the date of a Drawdown Notice, at an Expected Drawdown Date and at an
      Actual Drawdown Date:

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (i)

              	
                no
      Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is
      continuing or would result from the borrowing of the Loan or any part
      thereof;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (ii)

              	
                the
      representations and warranties in Clause 9 and those of any Obligor which
      are set out in the other Finance Documents would be true and not
      misleading if repeated on each of those dates with reference to the
      circumstances then existing; and

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (iii)

              	
                there
      has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations
      or business prospects of any of the Obligors since the date on the
      Obligors provided information concerning those topics to the Agent and/or
      any Lender; and

              

      

      

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

       

      
        	 
      	
                (iv)

              	
                none
      of the circumstances contemplated by Clause 4.5 has occurred and is
      continuing;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	
                (e)

              	
                that,
      if the Collateral Maintenance Ratio were applied immediately following the
      making of such Advance, the Borrower would not be obliged to provide
      additional Collateral or prepay part of the Loan (and if the Borrower
      would be so obliged the amount of the Advance shall be correspondingly
      reduced); and

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (f)

              	
                that
      the Agent shall have received, and found to be acceptable to it, any
      further opinions, consents, agreements and documents in connection with
      the Finance Documents which the Agent may reasonably request by notice to
      the Borrower prior to the relevant Expected Drawdown
  Date.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                8.2

              	
                Waiver of conditions
      precedent.  Notwithstanding anything in Clause 8.1 to the
      contrary:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                except
      with respect to the circumstances described in Clause 8.2(b), if the
      Agent, with the consent of the Majority Lenders, permits an Advance to be
      borrowed before certain of the conditions referred to in Clause 8.1 are
      satisfied, the Borrower shall ensure that such conditions are satisfied
      within ten (10) Business Days after such Actual Drawdown Date (or such
      longer period as the Agent may specify); and

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                only
      if required under the terms of the applicable Additional Ship MOA or
      another contract for the acquisition of an Additional Ship, an Advance may
      be borrowed before the applicable conditions set forth in Clause 8.1 are
      satisfied and:

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (i)

              	
                each
      Lender agrees to fund its Ratable Portion of the relevant Advance on a day
      not more than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the scheduled
      acquisition and delivery of such Ship (such date, the “Delivery Date”);
      and

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (ii)

              	
                the
      Agent shall on the date on which such Advance is funded (or as soon
      thereafter as practicable) (A) preposition an amount equal to the
      aggregate principal amount of the Advance at a bank or other financial
      institution (the “Seller’s Bank”)
      satisfactory to the Agent, which funds shall be held at the Seller’s Bank
      in the name and under the sole control of the Agent or one of its
      Affiliates and (B) issue a Swift MT 199 or other similar communication
      (each such communication, a “Disbursement
      Authorization”) authorizing the release of such funds by the
      Seller’s Bank on the relevant Delivery Date upon receipt of a Protocol of
      Delivery and Acceptance in respect of such Ship duly executed by the
      relevant Seller and the relevant Additional Ship Owner (as the case may
      be) and countersigned by a representative of the Agent;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                provided that if
      delivery of the relevant Ship does not occur within five (5) Business Days
      after the relevant scheduled Delivery Date, the funds held at the Seller’s
      Bank shall be returned to the Agent for further distribution to the
      Lenders.

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                For
      the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree
      that:

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (1)

              	
                the
      date on which the Lenders fund the Advance constitutes the Actual Drawdown
      Date in respect of such Advance and all interest and fees thereon shall
      accrue from such date;

              

      

      

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

       

      
        	 
      	
                (2)

              	
                the
      Agent and the Lenders suspend fulfillment of the conditions precedent set
      forth in Schedule 3, Part B, Paragraphs 5(a) and 6(a) and (b), and
      Schedule 3, Part C, Paragraphs 5(a) and 6(a) and (b), as the case may be,
      solely for the time period on and between such Actual Drawdown Date and
      the relevant Delivery Date, and the Obligors acknowledge and agree that
      fulfillment of such conditions precedent to the satisfaction of the Agent
      shall be required as a condition precedent to the countersignature by a
      representative of the Agent of the Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance
      referred to in Clause 8.2(b)(ii);

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (3)

              	
                from
      the date the Advance is deposited at the Seller’s Bank to the Delivery
      Date (or, if delivery of the Ship does not occur within the time
      prescribed in the Disbursement Authorization, the date on which the funds
      are returned to the Agent for further distribution to the Lenders), the
      Borrower shall be entitled to interest on the Advance at the applicable
      rate, if any, paid by the Seller’s Bank for such deposited
      funds;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (4)

              	
                if
      the relevant Ship is not delivered within the time prescribed in the
      Disbursement Authorization and the relevant Advance is returned to the
      Agent and distributed to the Lenders, (i) the Borrower shall pay all
      accrued interest and fees in respect of such returned Advance on the date
      such Advance is returned to the agent and (ii) the relevant available

      the Borrower has instructed the Agent to convert the aggregate principal
      amount of the Advance borrowed into a currency other than Dollars for
      deposit with the Seller’s Bank and the relevant Ship is not delivered
      within the time prescribed in the Disbursement Authorization and the
      relevant Advance is returned to the Agent for further distribution to the
      Lenders, the Agent shall convert the aggregate principal amount of funds
      so returned back into Dollars and if such funds are less than the Dollar
      amount of the aggregate principal amount of the Advance incurred on the
      relevant Actual Drawdown Date, the Borrower shall immediately repay the
      difference and, in any event, the Borrower shall pay any and all fees,
      charges and expenses arising from such conversion.

                the
      Finance Documents to which each Obligor 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) 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.

                All
      payments which an Obligor is liable to make under the Finance Documents to
      which it is a party may be made without deduction or withholding for or on
      account of any tax payable under any law of any Pertinent
      Jurisdiction.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                Each
      Obligor has filed or has caused to be filed all tax returns and other
      reports that it is required by law or regulation to file in any Pertinent
      Jurisdiction, and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes, assessments and
      other similar charges that are due and payable in any Pertinent
      Jurisdiction, other than taxes and charges (i) which are (x) not yet
      delinquent or (y) being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
      and for which adequate reserves have been established and in a manner that
      does not involve any risk of sale, forfeiture, loss, confiscation or
      seizure of any of the Ships, or (ii) the non-payment of which could not
      reasonably be expect to have a material adverse effect on such
      Obligor.  The charges, accruals, and reserves on the books of
      each Obligor respecting taxes are adequate in accordance with applicable
      accounting principles and practices.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (c)

              	
                No
      material claim for any tax has been asserted against any of the Obligors
      or any of their Affiliates by any Pertinent Jurisdiction or other taxing
      authority other than claims that are included in the liabilities for taxes
      in the most recent balance sheet of such Obligor or disclosed in the notes
      thereto, if any.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (d)

              	
                The
      execution, delivery, filing and registration or recording (if applicable)
      of the Finance Documents, and the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated thereby, will not cause any of the Credit Parties to be
      required to make any registration with, give any notice to, obtain any
      license, permit or other authorization from, or file any declaration,
      return, report or other document with any governmental authority in New

                The
      execution, delivery, filing, registration, recording, performance and
      enforcement of the Finance Documents by any Credit Party will not cause
      such Credit Party to be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on

      under any law or regulation of any governmental authority in the Republic
      of The Marshall Islands.

                From the Closing Date until all

      permit the ratio of Funded Debt to Total Capitalization on the last day of
      any fiscal quarter of the Borrower to be greater than 0.70 to
      1.00.

                Commencing on July 1, 2008 and
      until all Commitments have terminated and all amounts payable hereunder
      have been paid in full, the Borrower (on a consolidated basis) will not
      permit Liquidity to be less than (i) $500,000 multiplied by (ii) the
      number of Ships owned directly or indirectly by the
      Borrower.

      consolidated basis) will not permit the ratio of EBITDA to Net Interest
      Expense on the last day of any fiscal quarter be less than 2.50 to 1.00
      (based on the last four consecutive fiscal quarters), provided
      that (i) with respect
      to the fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2007 the ratio shall be
      calculated based on the last consecutive fiscal quarter (on an annualized
      basis), (ii) with respect to the fiscal quarter ended on March 31, 2008
      the ratio shall be calculated based on the last two consecutive fiscal
      quarters (on an annualized basis) and (iii) with respect to the fiscal
      quarter ended on June 30, 2008 the ratio shall be calculated based on the
      last three consecutive fiscal quarters (on an annualized
      basis).

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (d)

              	
                From
      the Closing Date and until
      all Commitments have terminated and all amounts payable hereunder have
      been paid in full, the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Ships
      plus deposits as per Clause 7.9(b) (including in respect of insurance
      proceeds receivable, on a pro forma basis before such proceeds are
      deposited with the Security Trustee) shall be not less than 140% of the
      Loan plus any unutilized Commitment in respect of the Tranche A Loan (the
      “Collateral Maintenance
      Ratio”) (as confirmed by the most recent Fair Market Value
      appraisal report delivered to the Agent under Clause
      10.1(g)).  If, at any time, the Collateral Maintenance Ratio
      shall be less than 140%, the Agent (acting upon the instruction of the
      Majority Lenders) shall have the right to require the Borrower and/or the
      Obligors, within 30 Business Days of the date of the written demand of the
      Agent, to either (at the Borrower’s option):

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (i)

              	
                prepay
      the Loan in such amount as may be necessary to cause such aggregate Fair
      Market Value of the Ships to equal or exceed the Collateral Maintenance
      Ratio;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (ii)

              	
                provide
      such additional Collateral as may be acceptable to the Agent in its sole
      reasonable discretion (acting upon the instruction of the Majority
      Lenders) so that aggregate Fair Market Value of the Ships and such
      additional Collateral equals or exceeds the Collateral Maintenance
      Ratio,

      the Obligors hereby agree to comply with any such written demand made by
      the Agent.

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                As
      an alternative to (i) or (ii) of this Clause 10.3(d), the Agent may agree
      with the Borrower to reduce any unutilized Commitment in respect of the
      Tranche A Loan in such amount as may be necessary to cause such aggregate
      Fair Market Value of the Ships plus deposits as per Clause 7.9(b)
      (including in respect of insurance proceeds receivable, on a pro forma
      basis before such proceeds are deposited with the Security Trustee) to
      equal or exceed the Collateral Maintenance Ratio.

      voluntary prepayment under Clause 7.5.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (f)

              	
                From

      all Commitments have terminated and all amounts payable hereunder have
      been paid in full, the weighted average age of the
      Ships (weighted by the Fair Market Value of the Ships) shall not exceed 18
      years.  If any Ship reaches the age of 21 years or more
      during this period, such Ship shall be assigned no value in the
      calculation of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the
    Ships.

                Guarantee.  In
      order to induce the Lenders to make the Loan to the Borrower, and to
      induce the Swap Bank to enter into Designated Transactions with the
      Borrower, the Guarantors jointly and severally hereby guarantee (this
      “Guarantee”), each
      as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the performance and
      punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
      otherwise, of all Secured Liabilities of the Borrower now or hereafter
      existing under this Agreement and any other Finance Document, whether for
      principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”)
      due or owing to any of the Lenders or the Swap Bank (each, a “Guaranteed Party”), and
      agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, counsel
      fees and expenses) incurred by a Guaranteed Party or the Security Trustee
      or the Agent in enforcing any rights under this Guarantee.  The
      obligations of the Guarantors under this Guarantee are in addition to and
      shall not in any way be prejudiced by any other guaranty or security now
      or subsequently held by the Guaranteed Parties.  The Guarantors
      hereby further jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower shall fail
      to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
      otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly
      pay the same, on first demand, and that in the case of any extension of
      time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same
      will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by
      acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension
      or renewal.

      absolute.  Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed
      Obligations will be performed and paid to the Guaranteed Parties strictly
      in accordance with the terms of any applicable agreement, express or
      implied, of the Borrower, regardless of any law, regulation or order of
      any jurisdiction affecting any term of any Guaranteed Obligation or the
      rights of the Guaranteed Parties with respect thereto, including, without
      limitation, any law, rule or policy which is now or hereafter promulgated
      by any governmental authority (including, without limitation, any central
      bank) or regulatory body any of which may adversely affect the Borrower’s
      ability or obligation to make, or right of the Guaranteed Parties to
      receive, such payments, including, without limitation, any sovereign act
      or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense to, or a legal

                (a)

              	
                each
      Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to assert, enforce, or
      otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights, security
      interests, claims, or liens which the Guaranteed Parties have against the
      Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed

      Agreement or any of the other Finance Documents shall be subject and
      subordinate to the rights of the Guaranteed Parties hereunder and shall be

      rescinded or must otherwise be returned by a Guaranteed
    Party.

      Guarantor of, or otherwise with respect to, this
  Agreement.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (c)

                Within
      30 days after the date of any payment of taxes, the affected Guarantor
      will furnish to each Guaranteed Party at its address for notices, the
      original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
      thereof.  If no taxes are payable in respect of any payment, a
      Guarantor will furnish to each Guaranteed Party a certificate from each
      appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to each
      Guaranteed Party, in either case stating that such payment is exempt from
      or not subject to taxes.

      Agreement and the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all
      other amounts payable hereunder and shall be binding upon each Guarantor,

                (a)

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

                amounts

      amount in that category which is due to it.

                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 Credit Party, deduct and withhold from that amount
      any sum which is then due and payable to the Agent from that Credit Party
      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.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                12.6

              	
                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 Borrower or any Credit Party any sum
      which the Agent is expecting to receive for remittance or distribution to
      the Borrower or that Credit Party until the Agent has satisfied itself
      that it has received that sum.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                12.7

              	
                Refund to Agent of monies not
      received.  Except as is otherwise provided in Clause
      3.4(b) of this Agreement, if and to the extent that the Agent makes
      available a sum to the Borrower or a Credit Party, without first having
      received that sum, the Borrower or (as the case may be) the Credit Party
      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.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                12.8

              	
                Agent may assume
      receipt.  Clause 12.7 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 (except an express notice from a Lender that it
      will not fund its Ratable Portion of any Advance of a
      Tranche).

      showing the amounts owing to it by the Borrower under the Finance
      Documents and all payments in respect of those amounts made by the
      Borrower.

                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 Obligors under
      the Finance Documents and all payments in respect of those amounts made by
      the Obligors.

                Accounts prima facie
      evidence.  If any accounts maintained under Clauses 12.9
      and 12.10 show an amount to be owing by an Obligor to a Credit Party,
      those accounts shall be prima facie evidence that that amount is owing to
      that Credit Party.

                SIXTH:
      in or towards the payments of any amounts then due under the Master
      Agreement; and

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                SEVENTH:

                Application of credit
      balances.  A Lender may with seven (7) days prior notice
      or without prior notice if an Event of Default has occurred and 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 an Obligor at any office of such
      Lender in any country in or towards satisfaction of any sum then due from
      that Obligor to such Lender 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 that
      Obligor;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (ii)

              	
                convert
      or translate all or any part of a deposit or other credit balance into

                (iii)

              	
                enter
      into any other transaction or make any entry with regard to the credit
      balance which such Lender considers appropriate.

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	
                13.3

              	
                Existing rights
      unaffected.  A Lender shall not be obliged to exercise
      any of its rights under Clause 13.2; 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 such Lender is
      entitled (whether under the general law or any
  document).

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                13.4

              	
                Payments in excess of ratable
      share.  If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether
      voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off,
      counterclaim or otherwise) on account of its portion of the Loan and in
      excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Loan obtained by
      all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other
      Lenders such participation in their respective portions of the Loan as
      shall be necessary to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;
      provided that if
      all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from
      such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded
      and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to
      the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s
      ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such
      Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
      purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
      purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so
      recovered.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
      participation from another Lender pursuant to this Clause 13.4 may, to the
      fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment
      (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as
      fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the
      amount of such participation.  Notwithstanding the preceding
      sentences of this Clause 13.4, any Lender which shall have commenced or
      joined (as a plaintiff) in an action or proceeding in any court to recover
      sums due to it under this Agreement or any other Finance Document and
      pursuant to a judgment obtained therein or a settlement or compromise of
      that action or proceeding shall have received any amount, shall not be
      required to share any proportion of that amount with a Lender which has
      the legal right to, but does not, join such action or proceeding or
      commence and diligently prosecute a separate action or proceeding to
      enforce its rights in the same or another court.  Each Lender
      exercising or contemplating exercising any rights giving rise to a receipt
      or receiving any payment of the type referred to in this Clause 13.4 or
      instituting legal proceedings to recover sums owing to it under this
      Agreement shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, give notice
      thereof to the Agent who shall give notice to the other
      Lenders.

      appropriate proceedings and in a manner that does not involve any risk of
      sale, forfeiture, loss, confiscation or seizure of any of the Ships, and

                (c)

              	
                any
      failure (for whatever reason) by the Borrower to make payment of any
      amount due under a Finance Document on the due date or, if so payable, on
      demand (after giving credit for any default interest paid by the Borrower
      on the amount concerned);

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (d)

              	
                the
      occurrence and/or continuance of an Event of Default or a Potential Event

                (e)

              	
                in
      respect of any tax (other than tax on its overall net income imposed by a
      taxing jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized, holds or books the

                16.2

              	
                Breakage
      costs.  Without limiting its generality, Clause 16.1
      covers any liability, expense or actual loss incurred by a
      Lender:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                in
      liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired or arranged
      to fund or maintain all or any part of the Loan and/or any overdue amount
      (or an aggregate amount which includes the Loan or any overdue amount);
      and

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                in
      terminating, or otherwise in connection with, any interest and/or currency
      swap or any other transaction entered into (whether with another legal
      entity or with another office or department of such Lender) to hedge any
      exposure arising under this Agreement or that part which such Lender
      determines is fairly attributable to this Agreement of the amount of the
      liabilities, expenses or losses incurred by it in terminating, or
      otherwise in connection with, a number of transactions of which this
      Agreement is one.

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                It
      is understood and agreed that unless an Event of Default has occurred and
      is continuing any gain realized by a Lender under Clause 16.2(b) shall be
      for credit against the amount then due from the Borrower to such
      Lender.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                16.3

              	
                Miscellaneous
      indemnities.  The Borrower shall fully indemnify each
      Credit Party in respect of all claims, demands, proceedings, liabilities,
      taxes, losses and expenses of every kind (“liability items”) which
      may be made or brought against, or incurred by, such Credit Party, in any
      country, in relation to:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                any
      action taken, or omitted or neglected to be taken, under or in connection
      with any Finance Document by such Credit Party or by any receiver
      appointed under a Finance Document;

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                any
      other event, matter or question which occurs or arises at any time during
      the Security Period and which has any connection with any payment or other
      transaction relating to a Finance Document or any asset covered (or
      previously covered) by a Security Interest created (or intended to be
      created) by a Finance Document;

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                other
      than liability items which are shown to have been caused by the gross
      negligence or willful misconduct of such Credit Party’s own officers or
      employees.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                16.4

              	
                Other
      indemnities.  The Borrower further agrees to fully
      indemnify each Credit Party on any such Credit Party’s first demand in
      respect of all reasonable expenses, liabilities and losses which are
      incurred by such Credit Party, or which such Credit Party reasonably and
      with due diligence estimates that it will incur, as a result of or in
      connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
      proceedings or otherwise) of the Finance Documents and any other document
      to be delivered hereunder.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                16.5

              	
                Currency
      indemnity.  If any sum due from an Obligor to any Credit
      Party under a Finance Document or under any order or judgment relating to
      a Finance Document has to be converted from the currency in which the
      Finance Document provided for the sum to be paid (the “Contractual Currency”)
      into another currency (the “Payment Currency”) for
      the purpose of:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                making
      or lodging any claim or proof against such Obligor, 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,

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                such
      Obligor shall indemnify such Credit Party against the loss arising when
      the amount of the payment actually received by such Credit Party is
      converted at the available rate of exchange into the Contractual
      Currency.

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                In
      this Clause 16.5, the “available rate of
      exchange” means the rate at which the Credit 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 16.5 creates a separate liability of the Borrower which is distinct
      from its other liabilities under the Finance Documents and which shall not
      be merged in any judgment or order relating to those other
      liabilities.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                16.6

              	
                Increased
      costs.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                Except
      as to taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings or
      liabilities with respect thereto (it being understood that the Borrower
      shall not have any liability for any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
      charges, withholdings or liabilities with respect thereto, except as
      provided in Clauses 15.4, 16.1, 16.3, 16.4 or 17), if due to
      either:

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (i)

              	
                the
      introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or
      regulation; or

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (ii)

              	
                the
      compliance by any Lender with any guideline or request from any central
      bank or other governmental authority,

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                in
      any case introduced, changed, interpreted or requested after the date
      hereof (whether or not having the force of law),

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                there
      shall be:

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (x)

              	
                imposed,
      modified or deemed applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
      requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of,
      any Lender; or

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (y)

              	
                imposed
      on any Lender any other condition relating to this Agreement or the
      Advance made by it,

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                and
      the result of any event referred to in clause (x) or (y) shall be to
      increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or
      maintaining an Advance, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon
      demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent) made
      within 60 days after the first date on which such Lender has actual
      knowledge that it is entitled to make demand for payment under this Clause
      16.6(a), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional
      amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost;
      provided
      that:

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (A)

              	
                if
      such Lender fails to so notify the Borrower within such 60-day period,
      such increased cost shall commence accruing on such later date on which
      the Lender notifies the Borrower;
and

              

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      
        	 
      	
                (B)

              	
                before
      making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use its best efforts
      (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
      restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of
      such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
      increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,
      be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                Any
      Lender, upon determining that additional amounts sufficient to compensate
      it for such increased cost are payable by the Borrower pursuant to this
      Clause 16.6(a), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower
      and the Agent, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the
      Borrower and the Agent by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail
      the basis for and the calculation of such increased cost (such certificate
      as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the
      Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
      absent manifest error), although the failure to give any such notice shall
      not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligation to pay such increased
      cost pursuant to this Clause 16.6(a).

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                If
      a Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any
      guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental or
      monetary authority in regard to capital adequacy (whether or not having
      the force of law) including, without limitation, any guideline
      contemplated by the report dated July 1988 entitled “International
      Convergence of Capital Management and Capital Standards” issued by the
      Bank Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices, in any
      case in which such law, regulation, guideline or request became effective
      or was made after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of
      reducing the rate of return on the capital of, or maintained by, such
      Lender or any company controlling such Lender as a consequence of such
      Lender making its Ratable Portion of any Advance or Commitment hereunder
      and other commitments of this type, by increasing the amount of capital
      required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any company
      controlling such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or any
      company controlling such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption,
      effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into account such Lender’s or
      such company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) then the
      Borrower shall, from time to time, pay such Lender, upon demand by such
      Lender made within 60 days after the first date on which such Lender has
      actual knowledge that it is entitled to make demand for payment under this
      Clause 16.6(b) of such reduction in return, such additional amount as may
      be specified by such Lender as being sufficient to compensate such Lender
      for such reduction in return, to the extent that such Lender reasonably
      determines such reduction to be attributable to the existence of such
      Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder; provided that if such
      Lender fails to so notify the Borrower within such 60-day period, such
      amounts shall commence accruing on such later date on which such Lender
      notifies the Borrower.  A certificate submitted to the Borrower
      and the Agent by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis
      for and the calculation of such additional amount shall be conclusive and
      binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

                (a)

              	
                that
      Obligor shall notify the Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the
      requirement;

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                that
      Obligor shall pay the tax deducted to the appropriate taxation authority
      promptly, and in any event before any fine or penalty
    arises;

                the
      amount due in respect of the payment shall be increased by the amount
      necessary to ensure that each of the Lenders 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.

      Obligor shall deliver to the Agent documentary evidence satisfactory to
      the Agent that the tax had been paid to the appropriate taxation
      authority.

      any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future
      tax except tax on a Lender’s overall net income imposed by a taxing
      jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized, holds or books the Loan or
      has a principal place of business.

      shall terminate; and thereupon or, if later, on the date specified in such
      Lender’s notice under Clause 18.1 as the date on which the notified event
      would become effective, the Borrower shall prepay to such Lender that
      portion of the Loan then due and payable to such Lender plus all amounts
      otherwise payable under Clause 7.

      register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and
      the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each
      Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The
      entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,

                such
      Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
      its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain
      unchanged;

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                (ii)

              	
                such

                Notwithstanding
      any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may, at its

      Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of

      direct or indirect assignee of any of a Lender’s rights or interests under
      or by virtue of the Finance Documents shall be entitled to recover damages
      by reference to the loss incurred by that assignee as a result of the
      breach or misrepresentation irrespective of whether the Lender would have
      incurred a loss of that kind or amount.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                19.4

      assignee or sub-participant any information which the Lenders have
      received in relation to the Obligors or their respective affairs under or
      in connection with any Finance Document, provided that if the
      information is clearly of a confidential nature the potential assignee or
      sub-participant shall enter into a confidentiality
    agreement.

                (a)

                (b)

                provided that such
      change in Lending Office does not increase the Borrower’s costs under this
      Agreement.

      of a Finance Document, or a Credit 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, by the relevant Obligor(s) and the relevant

                (d)

      notice which is delivered personally shall be deemed to be served, and
      shall take effect, at the time when it is delivered;

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                a
      notice which is sent by post shall be deemed to be served, and shall take
      effect, three (3) days after the date of posting; and

              
	 
      	 
      

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      
        	
                (c)

              	
                a
      notice which is sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be
      served, and shall take effect, two (2) hours after its successful
      transmission is completed.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                21.4

              	
                Service outside business
      hours.  However, if under Clause 21.3 a notice would be
      deemed to be served:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                on
      a day which is not a Business Day in the place of receipt;
    or

      such a Business Day, but after 5:00 p.m. local time;

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                the
      notice shall (subject to Clause 21.5) be deemed to be served, and shall
      take effect, at 9:00 a.m. on the next day which is such a Business
      Day.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                21.5

              	
                Illegible
      notices.  Clauses 21.3 and 21.4 do not apply if the
      recipient of a notice notifies the sender within one (1) hour after the
      time at which the notice would otherwise be deemed to be served that the
      notice has been received in a form which is illegible in a material
      respect.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                21.6

              	
                Valid
      notices.  A notice under or in connection with a Finance
      Document shall not be invalid by reason that its contents or the manner of
      serving it do not comply with the requirements of this Agreement or, where
      appropriate, any other Finance Document under which it is served
      if:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                the
      failure to serve it in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement
      or other Finance Document, as the case may be, has not caused any party to
      suffer any significant loss or prejudice; or

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                in
      the case of incorrect and/or incomplete contents, it should have been
      reasonably clear to the party on which the notice was served what the
      correct or missing particulars should have been.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                21.7

              	
                English
      language.  Any notice under or in connection with a
      Finance Document shall be in English.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                21.8

              	
                Meaning of
      “notice”.  In this Clause “notice” includes any demand,
      consent, authorization, approval, instruction, waiver or other
      communication.

                POSITION
      OF THE LENDERS AND THE SWAP BANK

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                22.1

              	
                Interests of Credit Parties
      several.  The rights of the Credit Parties under this
      Agreement are several.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                22.2

              	
                Individual Credit Parties’
      right of action.  Each Lender and the Swap Bank shall be
      entitled to sue for any amount which has become due and payable by the
      Borrower to it under this Agreement, the Master Agreement or any other
      Finance Document without joining the Agent, the Security Trustee or any
      other Credit Party as additional parties in the proceedings, provided that neither
      the Swap Bank nor any Lender may commence proceedings against the Borrower
      or any other Obligor in connection with a Finance Document without the
      prior consent of the Majority Lenders.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                22.3

              	
                Obligations of Credit Parties
      several.  The obligations of the Lenders and the Swap
      Bank under this Agreement are several, and a failure of a Lender or the
      Swap Bank to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not result
      in:

              
	 
      	 
      

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      
        	
                (a)

              	
                the
      obligations of the other Lenders or the Swap Bank being increased;
      or

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                the
      Borrower, any other Obligor, any other Lender or the Swap Bank being
      discharged (in whole or in part) from its obligations under any Finance
      Document;

              
	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
                and
      in no circumstances shall a Lender or the Swap Bank have any
      responsibility for a failure of another Lender or the Swap Bank (as the
      case may be) to perform its obligations under this
    Agreement.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                22.4

              	
                Swap
      Subordination.  At all times during the Security Period,
      the Swap Bank agrees that its rights under the Master Agreement
      (including, without limitation, any right of repayment) shall be subject
      and subordinate to the rights of the Lenders under this Agreement and the
      other Finance Documents.

                Rights cumulative,
      non-exclusive.  The rights and remedies which the Finance
      Documents give to the Credit Parties:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                are
      cumulative;

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                may
      be exercised as often as appears expedient; and

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (c)

              	
                shall
      not, unless a Finance Document explicitly and specifically states so, be
      taken to exclude or limit any right or remedy conferred by any
      law.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                23.2

              	
                Severability of
      provisions.  If any provision of a Finance Document is or
      subsequently becomes void, unenforceable or illegal, that shall not affect
      the validity, enforceability or legality of the other provisions of that
      Finance Document or of the provisions of any other Finance
      Document.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                23.3

              	
                Counterparts.  This
      Agreement and any other Finance Document may be executed in any number of
      counterparts.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                23.4

              	
                Binding
      Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective on the
      Effective Date and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
      benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
      assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its
      rights hereunder or any interest herein except as provided in Clause
      19.1.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                23.5

              	
                Subordination of
      Obligors.  Subject to Clause 23.6, during the Security
      Period, no Obligor shall:

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (a)

              	
                claim
      by way of any legal or administrative action any amount which may be due
      to it from another Obligor whether in respect of a payment made, or matter
      arising out of, this Agreement or the other Finance Documents, or any
      matter unconnected with this Agreement or the other Finance Documents;
      or

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                take
      or enforce any form of security from another Obligor for such an amount,
      or in any other way seek to have recourse in respect of such an amount
      against any asset of another Obligor; or

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (c)

              	
                set
      off such an amount against any sum due from it to another Obligor;
      or

              

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      
        	
                (d)

              	
                prove
      or claim for such an amount in any liquidation, administration,
      arrangement or similar procedure involving another Obligor;
    or

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (e)

              	
                exercise
      or assert any combination of the foregoing.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                23.6

              	
                Required
      action.  If during the Security Period, the Agent, by
      notice to an Obligor, requires it to take any action referred to in
      paragraphs (a) to (d) of Clause 23.5, in relation to any other Obligor,
      that Obligor shall take that action as soon as practicable after receiving
      the Agent’s notice.

      financial institutions to become a Lender hereunder (with all the rights
      and obligations of a Lender attendant thereto) in respect of the Tranche B
      Loan (in which case such bank or financial institution shall execute such
      agreement as the Agent shall deem appropriate to cause such bank or
      financial institution to accede to the rights and obligations of a Lender
      hereunder); or

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

              	
                agreeing with one or more Lenders,

      200% of each Commitment increase; and

      Obligors and the Credit Parties (including any new Lender) shall execute
      and deliver an amendment, or an amendment and restatement, of this
      Agreement and such others of the Finance Documents as the Majority Lenders

                (ii)

      shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Obligors shall be

                (b)

              	
                shall
      be responsible to the Lenders or the Swap Bank for any recitals,
      statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or
      in any of the Finance Documents, or in any certificate or other document
      referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this

      effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
      Agreement or any of the Finance Documents or any other document referred
      to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by any Obligor or
      any other person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder
      or for the location, condition or value of any property covered by any
      lien under any of the Finance Documents or for the creation, perfection or

      be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection
      proceedings hereunder or under any of the Finance Documents unless
      expressly instructed to do so in writing by the Majority Lenders;
      or

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (d)

              	
                shall
      be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder
      or under any of the Finance Documents or under any other document or
      instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection
      herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful
      misconduct.  Each of the Security Trustee and the Agent may
      employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and neither the Security Trustee nor
      the Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
      such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good
      faith.  Each of the Security Trustee and the Agent may deem and
      treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof
      unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof
      shall have been filed with the Agent, together with the written consent of
      the Borrower to such assignment or transfer.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                26.3

              	
                Reliance.  Each
      of the Security Trustee and the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
      certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by
      telephone, telex, telefacsimile, telegram or cable) believed by it to be
      genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the
      proper person or persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel,
      independent accountants and other experts selected by the Security Trustee
      or the Agent, as the case may be.  As to any matters not
      expressly provided for by this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents,
      each of the Security Trustee and the Agent shall in all cases be fully
      protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder
      in accordance with instructions signed by the Majority Lenders, and such
      instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
      be binding on all of the Lenders.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                26.4

              	
                Knowledge.  Neither
      the Security Trustee nor the Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or
      notice of the occurrence of a Potential Event of Default or Event of
      Default (other than, in the case of the Agent, the non-payment of
      principal of or interest on the Loan or any Advance) unless each of the
      Security Trustee and the Agent has received notice from a Lender or any
      Obligor specifying such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default and
      stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”.  If the Agent
      receives such a notice of the occurrence of such Potential Event of
      Default or Event of Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
      the Security Trustee and the Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt
      notice of each such non-payment).  Subject to Clause 26.8
      hereof, the Security Trustee and the Agent shall take such action with
      respect to such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or other
      event as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders, except that, unless
      and until the Security Trustee and the Agent shall have received such
      directions, each of the Security Trustee and the Agent may (but shall not
      be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action,
      with respect to such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default or
      other event as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders
      and the Swap Bank.

              

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      
        	
                26.5

              	
                Security Trustee and Agent as
      Lenders.  Each of the Security Trustee and the Agent (and
      any successor acting as Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be) in
      its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights
      and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
      though it were not acting as the Security Trustee or the Agent, as the
      case may be, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context
      otherwise indicates, include each of the Security Trustee and the Agent in
      their respective individual capacities.  Each of the Security
      Trustee and the Agent (and any successor acting as Security Trustee and
      Agent, as the case may be) and their respective affiliates may (without
      having to account therefor to a Lender) accept deposits from, lend money
      to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business
      with any Obligor and any of its subsidiaries or affiliates as if it were
      not acting as the Security Trustee or the Agent, as the case may be, and
      each of the Security Trustee and the Agent and their respective affiliates
      may accept fees and other consideration from such Obligor for services in
      connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for
      the same to the Lenders.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                26.6

              	
                Indemnification of Security
      Trustee and Agent.  The Lenders agree to indemnify each
      of the Agent and the Security Trustee (to the extent not reimbursed under
      other provisions of this Agreement, but without limiting the obligations
      of any Obligor under said other provisions, ratably in accordance with the
      aggregate principal amount of each Lenders’ participation in the Loan),
      for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
      actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
      and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
      against the Security Trustee or the Agent in any way relating to or
      arising out of this Agreement or any of the Finance Documents or any other
      documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
      transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the costs
      and expenses which an Obligor is to pay hereunder, but excluding, unless
      an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative
      costs and expenses incident to the performance of their respective agency
      duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof
      or of any such other documents, except that no Lender shall be liable for
      any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or
      willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                26.7

              	
                Reliance on Security Trustee or
      Agent.  Each Lender and the Swap Bank agrees that it has,
      independently and without reliance on the Security Trustee, the Agent or
      any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has
      deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Obligors and
      decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and
      without reliance upon the Security Trustee, the Agent or any other Lender,
      and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
      at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or
      not taking action under this Agreement or any of the Finance
      Documents.  None of the Security Trustee or the Agent shall be
      required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by
      any of the Obligors of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the
      Finance Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein
      or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the
      Obligors.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and
      information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and/or the
      Swap Bank by the Security Trustee or the Agent hereunder, neither the
      Security Trustee nor the Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to
      provide a Lender with any credit or other information concerning the
      affairs, financial condition or business of any of the Obligors or any of
      their respective parents, subsidiaries or Affiliates which may come into
      the possession of the Security Trustee, the Agent or any of their
      respective Affiliates.

              
	 
      	 
      

      

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      
        	
                26.8

              	
                Actions by Security Trustee and
      Agent.  Except for action expressly required of the
      Security Trustee or the Agent hereunder and under the other Finance
      Documents, each of the Security Trustee and the Agent shall in all cases
      be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder
      unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the
      Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Clause 26.5 hereof
      against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by
      reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                26.9

              	
                Resignation and
      Removal.  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a
      successor Security Trustee or Agent (as the case may be) as provided
      below, each of the Security Trustee and the Agent may resign at any time
      by giving notice thereof to the Lenders, the Swap Bank and the Obligors,
      and the Security Trustee or the Agent may be removed at any time with or
      without cause by the Majority Lenders.  Upon any such
      resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to
      appoint a successor Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, which
      shall be a Lender, or a Lender with an Affiliate, which has an office in
      New York, New York.  If no successor Security Trustee or Agent,
      as the case may be, shall have been so appointed by the Lenders or, if
      appointed, shall not have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
      the retiring Security Trustee’s or Agent’s, as the case may be, giving of
      notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’ removal of the retiring
      Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, then the retiring Security
      Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lenders,
      appoint a successor Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, which
      shall be a Lender, or a Lender with an Affiliate, which has an office in
      New York, New York.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
      Security Trustee or Agent hereunder by a successor Security Trustee or
      Agent, such successor Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, shall
      thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
      privileges and duties of the retiring Security Trustee or Agent, as the
      case may be, and the retiring Security Trustee or Agent shall be
      discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After any
      retiring Security Trustee or Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as
      Security Trustee or Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this
      Clause 26 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any
      actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the
      Security Trustee or the Agent, as the case may be.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                26.10

              	
                Release of
      Collateral.  Without the prior written consent of all of
      the Lenders and the Swap Bank, neither the Security Trustee nor the Agent
      will consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the
      Finance Documents nor without the prior written consent of all of the
      Lenders and the Swap Bank release any Collateral or otherwise terminate
      any lien under the Finance Documents, except that no such consent is
      required, and each of the Security Trustee and the Agent is authorized, to
      release any lien covering property if the obligations have been paid and
      performed in full or which is the subject of a disposition of property
      permitted hereunder or to which the Lenders and the Swap Bank have
      consented.

                The parties to this Agreement

      respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in
      such New York State Court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
      Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final

      manner provided by law.

              
	 
      	 
      
	
                (b)

      extent they may legally and effectively do so, any objection which they
      may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
      proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York
      State or Federal court and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
      maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court and any
      immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with
      respect to themselves or their property.

      country, an international convention or otherwise) with regard to the
