 21

Agreement. 

  

	5.6	Absence of quotations by Reference Banks. If any Reference Bank fails to supply a quotation, the Agent shall determine the relevant LIBOR on the basis of the quotations supplied by the other Reference Bank or

	5.7	Market disruption. The following provisions of this Clause 5 apply if: 

  

	(a)	no rate is quoted on REUTERS BBA Page LIBOR 01 and 2 or more of the Reference Banks do not, before 1.00 p.m. (Amsterdam time) on the Quotation Date, provide quotations to the Agent in order to fix LIBOR; or

  

	(b)	at least 1 Business Day before the start of an Interest Period, Lenders having Contributions together amounting to more than 50 per cent. of the Loan (or, if an Advance has not been made, Commitments amounting to
more than 50 per cent. 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 Contributions (or any part of them) during the Interest Period in
the London Interbank Market at or about 11.00 a.m. (Amsterdam time) on the Quotation Date for the Interest Period. 

  

	5.8	Notification of market disruption. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers, each of the Lenders and each of the Swap Counterparties stating the circumstances falling within Clause 5.7 which have caused its
notice to be given. 

  

	5.9	Suspension of drawdown. If the Agent’s notice under Clause 5.8 is served before an Advance is made the Lenders’ obligations to make the Advance shall be suspended while the circumstances referred to in
the Agent’s notice continue unless and until an alternative interest rate has been agreed in accordance with Clauses 5.10 to 5.12 (inclusive). 

  

	5.10	Negotiation of alternative rate of interest. If the Agent’s notice under Clause 5.8 is served after an Advance is made, the Borrowers, the Agent, the Lenders and the Swap Counterparties shall use reasonable
endeavours to agree, within the 15 days after the date on which the Agent serves its notice under Clause 5.8 (the “Negotiation Period”), an alternative interest rate or (as the case may be) an alternative basis for the Lenders to
fund or continue to fund their or its Contribution during the Interest Period concerned. 

  

	5.11	Application of agreed alternative rate of interest. Any alternative interest rate or an alternative basis which is agreed during the Negotiation Period shall take effect in accordance with the terms agreed.

  

	5.12	Alternative rate of interest in absence of agreement. If an alternative interest rate or alternative basis is not agreed within the Negotiation Period, and the relevant circumstances are continuing at the end of
the Negotiation Period, then the Agent shall, with the agreement of each Lender, set an interest period and interest rate representing the cost of funding of the Lenders in Dollars or in any available currency of their or its Contribution plus the
Margin and the Mandatory Cost (if any); and the procedure provided for by this Clause 5.12 shall be repeated if the relevant circumstances are continuing at the end of the interest period so set by the Agent. 

  
 22 

 At the request of the Borrowers, the Agent will advise the Borrowers of the then current status
of the circumstances giving rise to any market disruption referred to in Clause 5.7 during the period of any alternative rate of interest under Clauses 5.10, 5.11 and/or 5.12. 
  

	5.13	Notice of prepayment. If the Borrowers do not agree with an interest rate set by the Agent under Clause 5.12, the Borrowers may give the Agent not less than 15 Business Days’ notice of their intention to
prepay at the end of the interest period set by the Agent. 

  

	5.14	Prepayment; termination of Commitments. A notice under Clause 5.13 shall be irrevocable; the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the Borrowers’ notice of intended prepayment; and: 

 

	(a)	on the date on which the Agent serves that notice, the Total Commitments shall be cancelled; and 

  

	(b)	on the last Business Day of the interest period set by the Agent, the Borrowers shall prepay (without premium or penalty) the Loan together with accrued interest thereon at the applicable rate plus the Margin.

  

	5.15	Application of prepayment. The provisions of Clause 8 shall apply in relation to the prepayment. 

  

	6	INTEREST PERIODS 

  

	6.1	Commencement of Interest Periods. The first Interest Period applicable to an Advance shall commence on the Drawdown Date of that Advance and each subsequent Interest Period applicable to that Advance shall

	(a)	3, 6, 9 or 12 months as notified by the Borrowers to the Agent not later than 11.00 a.m. (London time) 3 Business Days before the commencement of the Interest Period; or 

 

	(b)	in the case of any Interest Period applicable to an Advance in relation to Tranche 1 which is in effect on the date falling 4 months after the Transfer Date for FSO 1, that Interest Period shall end on the said date,
whereupon all the Advances in relation to Tranche 1 shall be consolidated and treated as a single Advance for Tranche 1; 

  

	(c)	in the case of any Interest Period applicable to an Advance in relation to Tranche 2 which is in effect on the date falling 4 months after the Transfer Date for FSO 2, that Interest Period shall terminate on the said
date, whereupon all the Advances in relation to Tranche 2 shall be consolidated and treated as a single Advance for Tranche 2; 

  

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

  

	(e)	such other period as the Agent may, with the authorisation of the Lenders, agree with the Borrowers. 

  

	6.3	Duration of Interest Periods for repayment instalments. In respect of an amount due to be repaid under Clause 8 on a particular Repayment Date, an Interest Period shall end on that Repayment Date.

  
 23 

	6.4	Non-availability of matching deposits for Interest Period selected. If, after the Borrowers have selected and the Lenders have agreed an Interest Period longer than 3 months, any Lender notifies the Agent by

when the Interest Period commences, the Interest Period shall be 3 months. 

  

	7	DEFAULT INTEREST 

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

	(c)	if such amount has become immediately due and payable under Clause 18.4, the date on which it became immediately due and payable. 

  

	7.2	Default rate of interest. Interest shall accrue on an overdue amount from (and including) the relevant date until the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgment) at the rate per annum determined by
the Agent to be 2 per cent. above: 

  

	(a)	in the case of an overdue amount of principal, the higher of the rates set out at Clauses 7.3(a) and 7.3(b); or 

  

	(b)	in the case of any other overdue amount, the rate set out at Clause 7.3(b). 

  

	7.3	Calculation of default rate of interest. The rates referred to in Clause 7.2 are: 

  

	(a)	the rate applicable to the overdue principal amount immediately prior to the relevant date (but only for any unexpired part of any then current Interest Period applicable to it); 

 

	(b)	the Margin and the Mandatory Cost (if any) plus, in respect of successive periods of any duration (including at call) up to 3 months which the Agent may select from time to time: 

 

	 	(i)	LIBOR; or 

  

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

  

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

 

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

  
 24 

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

 

	7.7	Application to Master Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 7 does not apply to any amount payable under a Master Agreement in respect of any continuing Designated Transaction as to which section
2(e) (Default Interest; Other Amounts) of that Master Agreement shall apply. 

  

	8	REPAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT 

  

	8.1	Amount of repayment instalments. 

  

	(a)	A Tranches. The Borrowers shall repay each of Tranche 1A and Tranche 2A by annuity style amortisation to a balloon of $45,000,000 by 16 semi-annual instalments together with the balloon of $45,000,000 payable
together with the final instalment. The Agent shall provide the Borrowers and the Lenders with a repayment schedule for Tranche 1A and Tranche 2A before the Drawdown Date of that Tranche. 

 

	(b)	B Tranches. The Borrowers shall repay each of Tranche 1B and Tranche 2B by annuity style amortisation to zero by 16 semi-annual instalments. An illustrative repayment schedule assuming an amount of $160,000,000
for Tranche 1B and Tranche 2B is shown in the Repayment Schedule. The Agent agrees that, promptly after receipt of the relevant Drawdown Notice evidencing the amount of Tranche 1B and Tranche 2B (as the case may be), it shall provide the Borrowers
and the Lenders with a repayment schedule for that Tranche. 

  

	8.2	Repayment Dates. The first instalment for each Tranche shall be repaid on the First Repayment Date for that Tranche and the last instalment on the date falling 90 months after such First Repayment Date.

  

	8.3	Final Repayment Date. On the Maturity Date for each Tranche, the Borrowers shall additionally pay to the Agent for the account of the Creditor Parties all other sums then accrued or owing under any Finance
Document in relation to that Tranche. 

  

	8.4	Voluntary prepayment. Subject to the following conditions, the Borrowers may prepay, without penalty, the whole or any part of the Loan. 

 

	8.5	Conditions for voluntary prepayment. The conditions referred to in Clause 8.4 are that: 

  

	(a)	a partial prepayment shall be $1,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 (or such other amount as may be agreed by the Agent); 

  

	(b)	the Agent has received from the Borrowers at least 3 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 Borrowers have provided evidence satisfactory to the Agent that any consent required by any Borrower or any Security Party in connection with the prepayment has been obtained and remains in force, and that any
official regulation relevant to this Agreement which affects any Borrower or any Security Party has been complied with. 

  

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

  
 25 

	8.7	Notification of notice of prepayment. The Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receiving a prepayment notice, and shall provide any Lender which so requests with a copy of any document delivered by the
Borrowers under Clause 8.5(c). 

  

	8.8	Mandatory prepayment on sale or Total Loss. The Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay the relevant proportion of the Loan if a FSO is sold (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes a transfer pursuant to the
Maersk Purchase Option) or becomes a Total Loss: 

  

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

  

	(b)	in the case of a Total Loss, on the earlier of the date falling 90 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.

 In this Clause 8.8 and in Clauses 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11 the “relevant proportion” means the full amount of
Tranche 1A (in the case of FSO 1) and the full amount of Tranche 2A (in the case of FSO 2) plus, in each case, an amount equal to the higher of: 
  

	 	(i)	50 per cent. of the aggregate of the amount of Tranche 1B and Tranche 2B outstanding as at the date of the sale or Total Loss; and 

 

	 	(ii)	such amount as may be required so that the market value (as determined on a basis which is satisfactory to the Lenders) of the FSO which remains financed under this Agreement is not less than 143 per cent. of the
amount of the Loan outstanding after such prepayment. 

 If the remaining FSO is sold or becomes a Total Loss, the Borrowers
shall prepay the full amount of the Loan. 
  

	8.9	Mandatory prepayment on non-completion of the Conversion Works. The Borrowers shall be obliged to repay the relevant proportion of the Loan if the Conversion Works in relation to the relevant FSO have not been
completed by the day falling 180 days after the Scheduled Provisional Delivery Date (as referred to in clause 9.1 in the Service Contract for that FSO). 

  

	8.10	Mandatory prepayment on termination of Service Contract. The Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay the relevant proportion of the Loan if the Service Contract in relation to an FSO is terminated (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, cancellation for convenience or war) unless such termination results from Maersk exercising the Maersk Bareboat Option and the relevant TI Borrower has executed in favour of the Security Trustee an assignment of such bareboat
charter in such form as the Lenders may reasonably require. 

  

	8.11	Mandatory prepayment on Maersk Bareboat Option. The Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay the relevant proportion of the Loan if Maersk exercises the Maersk Bareboat Option, on or before the date on which the
bareboat charter is entered into pursuant to the said Maersk Bareboat Option, unless the relevant TI Borrower has executed in favour of the Security Trustee an assignment of such bareboat charter in such form as the Lenders may reasonably require.

  

	

	8.12	 Mandatory prepayment on Change of Control. If there is a Change of Control, the Borrowers shall be obliged to prepay the Loan not later than 60
days following the occurrence of the Change of Control unless the Agent has approved the Change of Control (acting with the authorisation of the Majority Lenders, which authorisation shall

  
 26 

	 	
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall only be withheld if there is a valid and reasonable concern on the part of such Lenders as to the financial position of the person in control
after the Change of Control or the identity of such person). 

  

	8.13	Amounts payable on prepayment. A prepayment shall be made together with accrued interest (and any other amount payable under Clause 20 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 20.1(b) but without premium or penalty. 

  

	8.14	Application of partial prepayment. Each partial prepayment shall be applied pro rata against each Tranche and then pro rata against the repayment instalments (including the balloon) specified in Clause 8.1 in
inverse order of maturity. 

  

	8.15	No reborrowing. No amount prepaid may be reborrowed. 

  

	8.16	Unwinding of Designated Transactions. Immediately after any partial repayment or prepayment of the Loan under this Clause 8 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall wholly or partially
reverse, offset, unwind or otherwise terminate one or more of the continuing Designated Transactions so that the notional principal amount of the continuing Designated Transactions thereafter remaining corresponds to (taking into account the
scheduled amortisation) the amount of the Loan as reducing from time to time thereafter pursuant to Clause 8.1 provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to wholly or partially reverse, offset, unwind or otherwise terminate any
continuing Designated Transaction on any repayment or prepayment of the Loan if that Designated Transaction is out of the money for the Borrowers. 

If a FSO is sold or becomes a Total Loss and the Borrowers do not wholly or partially reverse, offset, unwind or otherwise terminate one or
more of any continuing Designated Transactions so that the notional principal amount of the continuing Designated Transactions thereafter remaining corresponds to (taking into account the scheduled amortisation) the amount of the Loan as reducing
from time to time thereafter pursuant to Clause 8.1, then the Borrowers shall, simultaneously with the prepayment of the relevant amount of the Loan pursuant to Clause 8.8, provide security in the form of a pledged cash deposit or such other
security as may be agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent (acting with the authorisation of the Lenders or, with the authorisation of the Swap Banks, if the Loan has been repaid) in an amount acceptable to the Swap Banks. Such security shall be
executed in favour of the Security Trustee and shall be held for the benefit of the Swap Banks whose Designated Transactions have not been wholly or partially reversed, offset, unwound or otherwise terminated on the sale or Total Loss of the
relevant FSO.

	10	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

  

	10.1	General. Each Borrower represents and warrants to each Creditor Party as follows.

	(a)	any law or regulation; or 

  

	(b)	the constitutional documents of that Borrower; or 

  

	(c)	any contractual or other obligation or restriction which is binding on that Borrower or any of its assets.

Agent or Security Trustee (as the case may be) requires that insurance to be effected, the Borrowers can demonstrate to the Agent or Security Trustee (as the case may be) that a firm of insurance brokers with a reputation acceptable to the Agent or
the Security Trustee (as the case may be) is able to arrange that insurance upon the same terms, before that date, for a price lower than that for which any firm of insurance brokers nominated by the Agent or Security Trustee is prepared to arrange
that insurance and 

  
 39 

 
with underwriters acceptable to the Agent or Security Trustee (as the case may be), and if that firm of insurance brokers will enter into such agreements with the Agent or Security Trustee (as
the case may be) as it may require taking into account the identity of that firm of insurance brokers, the Agent or Security Trustee (as the case may be) shall not unreasonably refuse to effect that insurance through that firm of insurance brokers
so nominated by the Borrowers.

	 	(i)	serve on the Borrowers a notice stating that the Commitments and all other obligations of each Lender to the Borrowers under this Agreement are cancelled; and/or 

 

	 	(ii)	serve on the Borrowers a notice stating that the Loan, all accrued interest and all other amounts accrued or owing under this Agreement are immediately due and payable or are due and payable on demand; and/or

  

	 	(iii)	take any other action which, as a result of the Event of Default having occurred and continuing or any notice served under paragraph (i) or (ii), the Agent and/or the Lenders and/or the Swap Counterparties are
entitled to take under any Finance Document or any applicable law; and/or 

  

	(b)	the Security Trustee may, and if so instructed by the Agent, acting with the authorisation of the Majority Lenders, the Security Trustee shall take any action which, as a result of the Event of Default having occurred
and continuing or any notice served under paragraph (a) (i) or (ii), the Security Trustee, the Agent and/or the Lenders are entitled to take under any Finance Document or any applicable law. 

 

	18.3	Termination of Commitments. On the service of a notice under Clause 18.2(a)(i), the Commitments and all other obligations of each Lender to the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be cancelled.

  

	18.4	Acceleration of Loan. On the service of a notice under Clause 18.2(a)(ii), the Loan, all accrued interest and all other amounts accrued or owing from the Borrowers or any Security Party under this Agreement and
every other Finance Document shall become immediately due and payable or, as the case may be, payable on demand. 

  

	18.5	Multiple notices; action without notice. The Agent may serve notices under Clauses 18.2(a)(i) or (ii) simultaneously or on different dates and it and/or the Security Trustee may take any action referred to
in Clause 18.2 if no such notice is served or simultaneously with or at any time after the service of both or either of such notices. 

  

	18.6	 Notification of Creditor Parties and Security Parties. The Agent shall send to each Lender, the Security Trustee and each Security Party a copy
or the text of any notice 

  
 49 

	 	
which the Agent serves on the Borrowers under Clause 18.2; but the notice shall become effective when it is served on the Borrowers, and no failure or delay by the Agent to send a copy or the
text of the notice to any other person shall invalidate the notice or provide any Borrower or any Security Party with any form of claim or defence. 

  

	18.7	Creditor Parties’ rights unimpaired. Nothing in this Clause shall be taken to impair or restrict the exercise of any right given to individual Lenders or Swap Counterparties under a Finance Document, a
Master Agreement or the general law; and, in particular, this Clause is without prejudice to Clause 3.1. 

  

	18.8	Exclusion of Creditor Party liability. No Creditor Party, and no receiver or manager appointed by the Security Trustee, shall have any liability to a Borrower or a Security Party: 

 

	(a)	for any loss caused by an exercise of rights under, or enforcement of a Security Interest created by, a Finance Document or by any failure or delay to exercise such a right or to enforce such a Security Interest; or

  

	(b)	as mortgagee in possession or otherwise, for any income or principal amount which might have been produced by or realised from any asset comprised in such a Security Interest or for any reduction (however caused) in the
value of such an asset, 

 except that this does not exempt a Creditor Party or a receiver or manager from liability for losses
shown to have been caused by the gross negligence, dishonesty or the wilful misconduct of such Creditor Party’s own officers and employees or (as the case may be) such receiver’s or manager’s own partners or employees. 

 

	18.9	Relevant Persons. In this Clause 18, a “Relevant Person” means the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the Shareholders. 

 

	18.10	Guarantor default. If there is an Event of Default in relation to only 1 Guarantor the other Guarantor may with the agreement of all of the Lenders remedy such default by providing the Lenders with a guarantee in
respect of the full amount of all the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents within 30 days of such default. 

  

	18.11	Interpretation. In Clause 18.1(f) references to an event of default or a termination event include any event, howsoever described, which is similar to an event of default in a facility agreement or a termination
event in a finance lease; and in Clause 18.1(g) “petition” includes an application. 

  

	18.12	Position of Swap Counterparties. Neither the Agent nor the Security Trustee shall be obliged, in connection with any action taken or proposed to be taken under or pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Clause 18, to have any regard to the requirements of a Swap Counterparty except to the extent that such Swap Counterparty is also a Lender. 

In addition, the Swap Counterparties agree that if an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default occurs and is continuing any payments due
to the Swap Counterparties on an unwinding of the Master Agreements shall not be paid until the loan has first been repaid. 
  

	19	FEES AND EXPENSES 

  

	19.1	Co-ordination, arrangement, commitment, agency fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent:

	(d)	on the date of this Agreement and on each anniversary thereof during the Security Period, an annual agency fee of an amount previously agreed in writing between the Agent and the Borrowers, such agency fee to be payable

	(c)	the valuation of any security provided or offered under Clause 15 or any other matter relating to such security; or 

  

	(d)	any step taken by the Creditor Party concerned with a view to the protection, exercise or enforcement of any right or Security Interest created by a Finance Document or for any similar purpose. 

There shall be recoverable under paragraph (d) the full amount of all legal expenses, whether or not such as would be allowed under rules
of court or any taxation or other procedure carried out under such rules. 
  

	19.4	Documentary taxes. The Borrowers shall promptly pay any tax payable on or by reference to any Finance Document, and shall, on the Agent’s demand, fully indemnify each Creditor Party against any claims,
expenses, liabilities and losses resulting from any failure or delay by the Borrowers to pay such a tax. 

  

	19.5	Certification of amounts. A notice which is signed by 2 officers of a Creditor Party, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Creditor Party under this Clause 19 and which
indicates (without necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of which the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall be prima facie evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due. 

  
 51 

	20	INDEMNITIES 

  

	20.1	Indemnities regarding borrowing and repayment of Loan. The Borrowers shall fully indemnify the Agent and each Lender on the Agent’s demand and the Security Trustee on its demand in respect of all claims,
expenses, liabilities and losses which are made or brought against or incurred by that Creditor Party, or which that Creditor Party reasonably and with due diligence estimates that it will incur, as a result of or in connection with:

  

	(a)	an Advance not being borrowed on the date specified in the Drawdown Notice for any reason other than a default by the Lender claiming the indemnity; 

 

	(b)	the receipt or recovery of all or any part of the Loan or an overdue sum otherwise than on the last day of an Interest Period or other relevant period; 

 

	(c)	any failure (for whatever reason) by the Borrowers 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
Borrowers on the amount concerned under Clause 7); and 

  

	(d)	the occurrence and/or continuance of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default and/or the acceleration of repayment of the Loan under Clause 18, 

and in respect of any tax (other than tax on its overall net income) for which a Creditor Party is liable in connection with any amount paid or
payable to that Creditor Party (whether for its own account or otherwise) under any Finance Document. 
  

	20.2	Breakage costs. Without limiting its generality, Clause 20.1 covers any claim, expense, liability or 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 its Contribution and/or any overdue amount (or an aggregate amount which includes its Contribution 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 the Lender concerned)
to hedge any exposure arising under this Agreement which is 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. 

  

	20.3	Miscellaneous indemnities. The Borrowers shall fully indemnify each Creditor Party severally on their respective demands in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which may be made or brought
against or incurred by a Creditor Party, in any country, as a result of or in connection with: 

  

	(a)	any action taken, or omitted or neglected to be taken, under or in connection with any Finance Document by the Agent, the Security Trustee or any other Creditor Party or by any receiver appointed under a Finance
Document; or 

  

	(b)	any other Pertinent Matter, 

 other than claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are
shown to have been caused by the gross negligence, dishonesty or wilful misconduct of the officers or employees of the Creditor Party concerned. 

Without prejudice to its generality, this Clause 20.3 covers any claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which arise, or are asserted, under
or in connection with any law relating to safety at sea, the ISM Code, the ISPS Code or any Environmental Law. 

  
 52 

	20.4	Currency indemnity. If any sum due from any Borrower or any Security Party to a Creditor 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 any Borrower or any Security Party, whether in its liquidation, any arrangement involving it or otherwise; or 

 

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

  

	(c)	enforcing any such order or judgment, 

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

In this Clause 20.4 the “available rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Creditor Party concerned is able at the
opening of business (London time) on the Business Day after it receives the sum concerned to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency. 

This Clause 20.4 creates a separate liability of the Borrowers which is distinct from their other liabilities under the Finance Documents and
which shall not be merged in any judgment or order relating to those other liabilities. 
  

	20.5	Application to Master Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 20.4 does not apply in respect of sums due from a Borrower to a Swap Counterparty under or in connection with a Master Agreement as to which
sums the provisions of section 8 (Contractual Currency) of that Master Agreement shall apply. 

  

	20.6	Certification of amounts. A notice which is signed by 2 officers of a Creditor Party, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Creditor Party under this Clause 20 and which
indicates (without necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of which the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall be prima facie evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due. 

 

	20.7	Sums deemed due to a Lender. For the purposes of this Clause 20, a sum payable by the Borrowers to the Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender.

  

	21	NO SET-OFF OR TAX DEDUCTION 

  

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

  

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

  

	(b)	free and clear of any tax deduction except a tax deduction which a Borrower is required by law to make. 

  

	21.2	Grossing-up for taxes. If a Borrower is required by law to make a tax deduction from any payment: 

  

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

  

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

 

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

  
 53 

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

  

	21.4	Tax credit. A Creditor Party which has obtained (and has derived full use and benefit, on an affiliated group basis from) a repayment or credit in respect of tax on account of which the Borrowers have made an
increased payment under Clause 21.2 shall pay to the Borrowers a sum equal to the proportion of the repayment or credit which that Creditor Party allocates to the amount due from the Borrowers in respect of which the Borrowers made the increased
payment Provided that: 

  

	(a)	the Creditor Party shall not be obliged to allocate to this transaction any part of a tax repayment or credit which is referable to a class or number of transactions; 

 

	(b)	nothing in this Clause 21.4 shall oblige a Creditor Party to arrange its tax affairs in any particular manner, to claim any type of relief, credit, allowance or deduction instead of, or in priority to, another or to
make any such claim within any particular time; 

  

	(c)	nothing in this Clause 21.4 shall oblige a Creditor Party to make a payment which would leave it in a worse position than it would have been in if the Borrowers had not been required to make a tax deduction from a
payment; 

  

	(d)	any allocation or determination made by a Creditor Party under or in connection with this Clause 21.4 shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the other Creditor Parties; 

 

	(e)	nothing in this Clause 21.4 shall oblige any Creditor Party to disclose to the Borrowers any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or those of its ultimate parent company (or any subsidiary thereof) or
any computations in respect of tax; and 

  

	(f)	the Creditor Party’s tax affairs for its tax year in respect of which such credit or repayment was obtained have been finally settled. 

 

	21.5	Exclusion of tax on overall net income. In this Clause 21 “tax deduction” means any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax except tax on a Creditor Party’s
overall net income. 

  

	21.6	Application to Master Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 21 does not apply in respect of sums due from a Borrower to a Swap Counterparty under or in connection with a Master Agreement as to which sums
the provisions of section 2(d) (Deduction or Withholding for Tax) of that Master Agreement shall apply. 

  

	22	ILLEGALITY, ETC 

  

	22.1	Illegality. This Clause 22 applies if a Lender (the “Notifying Lender”) notifies the Agent that it has become, or will with effect from a specified date, become: 

 

	(a)	unlawful or prohibited as a result of the introduction of a new law, an amendment to an existing law or a change in the manner in which an existing law is or will be interpreted or applied; or 

 

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

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

  
 54 

	22.2	Notification of illegality. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers, the Security Parties, the Security Trustee and the other Lenders of the notice under Clause 22.1 which the Agent receives from the
Notifying Lender. 

  

	22.3	Prepayment; termination of Commitment. On the Agent notifying the Borrowers under Clause 22.2, the Notifying Lender’s Commitment shall terminate; and thereupon or, if later, on the date specified in the
Notifying Lender’s notice under Clause 22.1 as the date on which the notified event would become effective the Borrowers shall prepay the Notifying Lender’s Contribution in accordance with Clause 8. 

 

	22.4	Mitigation. If circumstances arise which would result in a notification under Clause 22.1 then, without in any way limiting the rights of the Notifying Lender under Clause 22.3, the Notifying Lender shall use
reasonable endeavours to transfer its obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement and the Finance Documents to another office or financial institution not affected by the circumstances but the Notifying Lender shall not be under any
obligation to take any such action if, in its opinion, to do would or might: 

  

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

  

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

 

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

  

	23	INCREASED COSTS 

  

	23.1	Increased costs. This Clause 23 applies if a Lender (the “Notifying Lender”) notifies the Agent that the Notifying Lender considers that as a result of: 

 

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

  

	(b)	complying with any regulation (including any which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which the Notifying Lender allocates capital resources to its obligations under this
Agreement) which is introduced, or altered, or the interpretation or application of which is altered, after the date of this Agreement, 

the Notifying Lender (or a parent company of it) has incurred or will incur an “increased cost”. 

 

	23.2	Meaning of “increase cost”. In this Clause 23, “increased cost” means, in relation to a Notifying Lender: 

 

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

  

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

  
 55 

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

  

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

but not an item attributable to a change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of the Notifying Lender (or a parent company of it) or an
item covered by the indemnity for tax in Clause 20.1 or by Clause 20 or an item arising directly out of the implementation or application of or compliance with the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, a
Revised Framework” published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004, in the form existing on the date of this Agreement (“Basel II”) or any other law or regulation which implements Basel II (whether such
implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, Creditor Party or any of its affiliates. 
 For the purposes of this
Clause 23.2 the Notifying Lender may in good faith allocate or spread costs and/or losses among its assets and liabilities (or any class of its assets and liabilities) on such basis as it considers appropriate. 

 

	23.3	Notification to Borrowers of claim for increased costs. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Security Parties of the notice which the Agent received from the Notifying Lender under Clause 23.1.

  

	23.4	Payment of increased costs. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, on the Agent’s demand, for the account of the Notifying Lender the amounts which the Agent from time to time notifies the Borrowers that the
Notifying Lender has specified to be necessary to compensate the Notifying Lender for the increased cost. 

  

	23.5	Notice of prepayment. If the Borrowers are not willing to continue to compensate the Notifying Lender for the increased cost under Clause 23.4, the Borrowers may give the Agent not less than 14 days’ notice
of their intention to prepay the Notifying Lender’s Contribution at the end of an Interest Period. 

  

	23.6	Prepayment; termination of Commitment. A notice under Clause 23.5 shall be irrevocable; the Agent shall promptly notify the Notifying Lender of the Borrowers’ notice of intended prepayment; and:

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

	24	SET-OFF 

  

	24.1	Application of credit balances. Each Creditor Party may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, without prior notice: 

 

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

  
 56 

	(b)	for that purpose: 

  

	 	(i)	break, or alter the maturity of, all or any part of a deposit of that Borrower; 

  

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

  

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

 

	24.2	Existing rights unaffected. No Creditor Party shall be obliged to exercise any of its rights under Clause 24.1; and those rights shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of
accounts, charge, lien or other right or remedy to which a Creditor Party is entitled (whether under the general law or any document). 

  

	24.3	Sums deemed due to a Lender. For the purposes of this Clause 24, a sum payable by the Borrowers to the Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to, or for the account of, a Lender shall be treated as a sum
due to that Lender; and each Lender’s proportion of a sum so payable for distribution to, or for the account of, the Lenders shall be treated as a sum due to such Lender. 

 

	24.4	No Security Interest. This Clause 24 gives the Creditor Parties a contractual right of set-off only, and does not create any equitable charge or other Security Interest over any credit balance of any Borrower.

  

	25	TRANSFERS AND CHANGES IN LENDING OFFICES 

  

	25.1	Transfer by Borrowers. No Borrower may, without the consent of the Agent, given on the instructions of all the Lenders transfer any of its rights, liabilities or obligations under any Finance Document.

  

	25.2	Transfer by a Lender. Subject to Clause 25.4, a Lender (the “Transferor Lender”) may at any time, with the prior written consent of the Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or
without the consent of the Borrowers if an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if such transfer is to a wholly owned subsidiary, the parent company or another subsidiary of the parent company of the
Transferor Lender, cause: 

  

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

  

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

  

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

 to be (in the case of its rights) transferred to, or (in
the case of its obligations) assumed by, another bank or financial institution or a trust, fund or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing or investing in loans, securities or other financial
assets (a “Transferee Lender”) by delivering to the Agent a completed certificate in the form set out in Schedule 4 with any modifications approved or required by the Agent (a “Transfer Certificate”) executed by the
Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender. 
 However any rights and obligations of the Transferor Lender in its capacity as Agent or
Security Trustee will have to be dealt with separately in accordance with the Agency and Trust Deed. 

  
 57 

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

  

	(a)	sign the Transfer Certificate on behalf of itself, the Borrowers, the Security Parties, the Security Trustee, the Arrangers, each of the other Lenders and each of the Swap Banks; 

 

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

 

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

but the Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Transferor Lender and the Transferee Lender once
it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to that Transferee Lender. 

 

	25.4	Effective Date of Transfer Certificate. A Transfer Certificate becomes effective on the date, if any, specified in the Transfer Certificate as its effective date, Provided that it is signed by the Agent under
Clause 25.3 on or before that date. 

  

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

  

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

  

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

  

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

 

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

  

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

 

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

  
 58 

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

 

	(f)	the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to all the rights under the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally, including but not limited to those relating to the Majority Lenders and those under
Clause 5.7 and Clause 19, and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be entitled to them; and 

  

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

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

	25.8	Maintenance of register of Lenders. During the Security Period the Agent shall maintain a register in which it shall record the name, Commitment, Contribution and administrative details (including the lending
office) from time to time of each Lender holding a Transfer Certificate and the effective date (in accordance with Clause 25.4) of the Transfer Certificate; and the Agent shall make the register available for inspection by any Lender, the Security
Trustee and the Borrowers during normal banking hours, subject to receiving at least 3 Business Days’ prior notice. 

  

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

 

	25.10	Authorisation of Agent to sign Transfer Certificates. Each Borrower, the Security Trustee, each Arranger, each Lender and each Swap Bank irrevocably authorises the Agent to sign Transfer Certificates on its
behalf. 

  

	25.11	Registration fee. In respect of any Transfer Certificate, the Agent shall be entitled to recover a registration fee of $3,000 from the Transferor Lender or (at the Agent’s option) the Transferee Lender.

  

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

  

	25.13	Disclosure of information. A Lender may disclose to a potential Transferee Lender in accordance with Clause 25.2 or (subject to the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) sub-participant any information which the Lender has received in relation to any Borrower, any Security Party or their affairs under or in connection with any Finance Document, unless the information is clearly of a confidential nature.

  
 59 

	25.14	Change of lending office. A Lender may change its lending office by giving notice to the Agent and the change shall become effective on the later of: 

 

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

  

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

  

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

  

	25.16	Replacement of Reference Bank. If any Reference Bank ceases to be a Lender or is unable on a continuing basis to supply quotations for the purposes of Clause 5 then, unless the Borrowers, the Agent and the
Majority Lenders otherwise agree, the Agent, acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and after consulting the Borrowers, shall appoint another bank (whether or not a Lender) to be a replacement Reference Bank; and, when that appointment
comes into effect, the first-mentioned Reference Bank’s appointment shall cease to be effective. 

  

	25.17	Tax indemnity, tax gross-up and increased costs on assignment, transfer and change of lending office. If: 

  

	(a)	a Lender assigns or transfers any rights or obligations under the Finance Documents pursuant to Clause 25.2 or changes its lending office; and 

 

	(b)	as a result of circumstances existing at the date of assignment, transfer or change occurs the Borrowers would be obliged to make a payment to the Transferree Lender or Lender acting through its new lending office under
Clause 20.1 in respect of any tax, Clause 23 or Clause 24, 

 then the Transferree Lender or the Lender acting through its new
lending office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Transferor Lender or the Lender acting through its previous lending office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. 

 

	26	VARIATIONS AND WAIVERS 

  

	26.1	Variations, waivers etc. by Majority Lenders. Subject to Clause 26.2, a document shall be effective to vary, waive, suspend or limit any provision of a Finance Document, or any Creditor Party’s rights or
remedies under such a provision or the general law, only if the document is signed, or specifically agreed to by fax, by the Borrowers, by the Agent on behalf of the Majority Lenders, by the Agent and the Security Trustee in their own rights, and,
if the document relates to a Finance Document to which a Security Party is party, by that Security Party. 

  

	26.2	Variations, waivers etc. requiring agreement of all Lenders. However, as regards the following, Clause 26.1 applies as if the words “by the Agent on behalf of the Majority Lenders” were replaced by the
words “by or on behalf of every Lender”: 

  

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

  

	(b)	a change to the date for, the amount of, any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other sum payable under this Agreement;

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

 

	26.3	Exclusion of other or implied variations. Except for a document which satisfies the requirements of Clauses 26.1 and 26.2, no document, and no act, course of conduct, failure or neglect to act, delay or
acquiescence on the part of the Creditor Parties or any of them (or any person acting on behalf of any of them) shall result in the Creditor Parties or any of them (or any person acting on behalf of any of them) being taken to have varied, waived,
suspended or limited, or being precluded (permanently or temporarily) from enforcing, relying on or exercising: 

  

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

  

	(b)	an Event of Default; or 

  

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

been received in a form which is illegible in a material respect. 

  
 62 

	27.6	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. 

 

	27.7	Electronic communication. Any communication to be made between the Agent and a Lender under or in connection with the Finance Documents may be made by electronic mail or other electronic means, if the Agent and

	28.4	Subordination. Subject to Clause 28.5, during the Security Period, no Borrower shall: 

  

	(a)	claim any amount which may be due to it from any other Borrower whether in respect of a payment made, or matter arising out of, this Agreement or any Finance Document, or any matter unconnected with this Agreement or
any Finance Document; or 

  

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

 

	(c)	set off such an amount against any sum due from it to any other Borrower; or 

  

	(d)	prove or claim for such an amount in any liquidation, administration, arrangement or similar procedure involving any other Borrower or other Security Party; or

	28.6	Release of Conversion Borrowers. Each Conversion Borrower shall be released from its obligations under this Loan Agreement and the other Finance Documents to which it is a party on the Transfer Date in relation
to the FSO which is owned by that Conversion Borrower subject to the Borrowers requesting such release by notice to the Agent in writing and to the Agent being satisfied as to the following conditions:

	(c)	no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

  

	29	SUPPLEMENTAL 

  

	29.1	Rights cumulative, non-exclusive. The rights and remedies which the Finance Documents give to each Creditor Party are: 

  

	(a)	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. 

 

	29.2	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. 

  
 64 

	29.3	Counterparts. A Finance Document may be executed in any number of counterparts.

	30.1	English law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law. 

  

	30.2	Exclusive English jurisdiction. Subject to Clause 30.3, the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement.

  

	30.3	Choice of forum for the exclusive benefit of the Creditor Parties. Clause 30.2 is for the exclusive benefit of the Creditor Parties, each of which reserves the right:

	(b)	to commence such proceedings in the courts of any such country or countries concurrently with or in addition to proceedings in England or without commencing proceedings in England. 

Neither Borrower shall commence any proceedings in any country other than England in relation to a matter which arises out of or in connection
with this Agreement.

	30.5	Creditor Party rights unaffected. Nothing in this Clause 30 shall exclude or limit any right which any Creditor Party may have (whether under the law of any country, an international convention or otherwise) with
regard to the bringing of proceedings, the service of process, the recognition or enforcement of a judgment or any similar or related matter in any jurisdiction. 

  

	30.6	Meaning of “proceedings”. In this Clause 30, “proceedings” means proceedings of any kind, including an application for a provisional or protective measure.

 SCHEDULE 6 

MANDATORY COST FORMULA 
  

	1	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Financial Services Authority (or any other authority which replaces all or
any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 

  

	2	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the
paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Advance) and will be
expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 

  

	3	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a lending office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its
notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Advances made from that lending office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European
Central Bank in respect of loans made from that lending office. 

  

	4	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a lending office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows: 

 

							
		 	 E x 0.01
	 	per cent. per annum	 	
		 	300	 	 	

 Where: 
 E
        is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the
Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000. 
  

	5	For the purposes of this Schedule: 

  

	(a)	“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank
of England; 

  

	(b)	“Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the
acceptance of deposits; 

  

	(c)	“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking
into account any applicable discount rate); 

  

	(d)	“Participating Member State” means any member state of the European Union that adopts or has adopted the euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Union relating to
European Monetary Union; and 

  

	(e)	“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 

  
 78 

	6	If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial
Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank
for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. 

  

	7	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information in
writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: 

  

	(a)	the jurisdiction of its lending office; and 

  

	(b)	any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. 

 Each Lender
shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. 
  

	8	The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraph 6 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender
notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a lending office in the same jurisdiction
as its lending office. 

  

	9	The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any
Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects. 

  

	10	The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and
each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above. 

  

	11	Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and
binding on all parties. 

  

	12	The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any
change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.

Advance; 

  

	 	(ii)	shall be made when such instalment has become due and payable, as specified in more detail in the third column of schedule 5 opposite the relevant Contract Instalment Advance; and 

 

	 	(iii)	shall be paid by the Agent to the Builder, unless the relevant Borrower has already paid such instalment to the Builder when it was due, in which case the relevant Contract Instalment Advance shall be advanced to the

 Upon receipt of a Drawdown Notice complying with the terms of this
Agreement, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank and each Bank shall make available to the Agent its portion of the relevant Advance for payment by the Agent in accordance with clause 6.2. The Borrowers acknowledge that payment of any Advance or
part thereof to the Builder or the Borrowers or any of them (as the case may be) in accordance with clause 6.2 shall satisfy the obligation of the Banks to lend that Advance to the Borrowers under this Agreement. 

 

	2.7	Termination of Total Commitment

clause 8.1.3, no Creditor shall have any responsibility for the application of the proceeds of the Loan or any part thereof by the Borrowers. 
  

	3	Interest and Interest Periods 

  

	3.1	Normal interest rate 

 The Borrowers shall pay interest on each Tranche in respect of
each Interest Period relating thereto on each Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of Interest Periods of more than three (3) months, by instalments, the first instalment three (3) months from the commencement of the Interest Period and
the subsequent instalments at intervals of three (3) months or, if shorter, the period from the date of the preceding instalment until the Interest Payment Date relative to such Interest Period) at the rate per annum determined by the Agent to
be the aggregate of (a) the Margin and (b) LIBOR for such Interest Period. 
  

	3.2	Selection of Interest Periods 

 The Borrowers may by notice received by the Agent not
later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) on the third Banking Day before the beginning of each Interest Period specify whether such Interest Period shall have a duration of three (3) months, six (6) months, nine (9) months, twelve
(12) months or such other period (shorter than twelve (12) months) as the Borrowers may select and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) may agree. 

 

	3.3	Determination of Interest Periods 

 Every Interest Period shall be of the duration
specified by the Borrowers pursuant to clause 3.2 but so that: 
  

	3.3.1	the first Interest Period in respect of each Advance shall commence on the date on which such Advance is drawn down and each subsequent Interest Period shall commence on the last day of the previous Interest Period for
such Advance; 

  

	3.3.2	the first Interest Period in respect of each Advance in respect of a Ship (after the first Advance to be drawn down in respect of such Ship) shall end on the same day as the then current Interest Period for the Tranche
for such Ship and, on the last day of such Interest Period, such Advances shall be consolidated into, and shall thereafter constitute, the Tranche in respect of such Ship; 

  
 18 

	3.3.3	if any Interest Period in respect of a Tranche would otherwise overrun a Repayment Date for such Tranche, then, in the case of the last Repayment Date for such Tranche, such Interest Period shall end on such Repayment
Date, and in the case of any other Repayment Date or Repayment Dates for such Tranche, the relevant Tranche shall be divided into parts so that there is one part in the amount of the repayment instalment or instalments due on each Repayment Date for
such Tranche falling during that Interest Period and having an Interest Period ending on the relevant Repayment Date and another part in the amount of the balance of the relevant Tranche having an Interest Period ascertained in accordance with
clause 3.2 and the other provisions of this clause 3.3; and 

  

	3.3.4	if the Borrowers fail to specify the duration of an Interest Period in accordance with the provisions of clause 3.2 and this clause 3.3 such Interest Period shall have a duration of three (3) months or such other
period as shall comply with this clause 3.3. 

  

	3.4	Default interest 

 If the Borrowers fail to pay any sum (including, without limitation,
any sum payable pursuant to this clause 3.4) on its due date for payment under any of the Security Documents, the Borrowers shall pay interest on such sum on demand from the due date up to the date of actual payment (as well after as before
judgment) at a rate determined by the Agent pursuant to this clause 3.4. The period beginning on such due date and ending on such date of payment shall be divided into successive periods of not more than three (3) months as selected by the
Agent each of which (other than the first, which shall commence on such due date) shall commence on the last day of the preceding such period. The rate of interest applicable to each such period shall be the aggregate (as determined by the Agent) of
(a) two per cent (2%) per annum, (b) the Margin and (c) LIBOR for such period. Such interest shall be due and payable on the last day of each such period as determined by the Agent and each such day shall, for the purposes of
this Agreement, be treated as an Interest Payment Date, provided that if such unpaid sum is an amount of principal which became due and payable by reason of a declaration by the Agent under clause 10.2.2 or a prepayment pursuant to clauses 4.3,
8.2.1(a) or 12.1, on a date other than an Interest Payment Date relating thereto, the first such period selected by the Agent shall be of a duration equal to the period between the due date of such principal sum and such Interest Payment Date and
interest shall be payable on such principal sum during such period at a rate of two per cent (2%) above the rate applicable thereto immediately before it shall have become so due and payable. If, for the reasons specified in clause 3.6.1, the
Agent is unable to determine a rate in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause 3.4, each Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of the cost of funds to such Bank and interest on any sum not paid on its due date for payment shall be
calculated at a rate determined by the Agent to be two per cent (2%) per annum above the aggregate of the Margin and the cost of funds to such Bank. 
  

	3.5	Notification of Interest Periods and interest rate 

 The Agent shall notify the Borrowers
and the Banks promptly of the duration of each Interest Period and of each rate of interest (or, as the case may be default interest) determined by it under this clause 3. 
  

	3.6	Market disruption; non-availability 

  

	3.6.1	If and whenever, at any time prior to the commencement of any Interest Period: 

  

	 	(a)	the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall, in the absence of manifest error or gross negligence, be conclusive) that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR during such Interest
Period; or 

  

	 	(b)	the Reference Bank does not supply the Agent with a quotation for the purposes of calculating LIBOR (where such a quotation is required having regard to paragraph (b) of the definition of “LIBOR” in
clause 1.2); or 

  
 19 

	 	(c)	the Agent shall have received notification from Banks with Contributions aggregating not less than one-third ( 1⁄3rd) of the
Loan (or, prior to the Drawdown Date of the first Advance to be drawn down from Banks with Commitments aggregating not less than one-third ( 1⁄3rd) of the
Total Commitment), that deposits in Dollars are not available to such Banks in the London Interbank Market in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to fund the Loan or part thereof or their Contributions for such Interest Period or
that LIBOR does not accurately reflect the cost to such Banks of obtaining such deposits, 

 the Agent shall forthwith give
notice (a “Determination Notice”) thereof to the Borrowers and to each of the Banks. A Determination Notice shall contain particulars of the relevant circumstances giving rise to its issue. After the giving of any Determination
Notice the undrawn amount of the Total Commitment shall not be borrowed until notice to the contrary is given to the Borrowers by the Agent. 
  

	3.6.2	During the period of ten (10) days after any Determination Notice has been given by the Agent under clause 3.6.1, each Bank shall certify an alternative basis (the “Alternative Basis”) for
maintaining its Contribution. The Alternative Basis may at the relevant Bank’s sole and unfettered discretion include (without limitation) alternative interest periods, alternative currencies or alternative rates of interest but shall include a
margin above the cost of funds to such Bank equivalent to the Margin. The Agent shall calculate the arithmetic mean of the Alternative Bases provided by the relevant Banks (the “Substitute Basis”) and certify the same to the
Borrowers and the Banks. The Substitute Basis so certified shall be binding upon the Borrowers, and shall take effect in accordance with its terms from the date specified in the Determination Notice until such time as the Agent notifies the
Borrowers that none of the circumstances specified in clause 3.6.1 continues to exist whereupon the normal interest rate fixing provisions of this Agreement shall apply. If the Borrowers do not agree with the Substitute Basis, they are entitled to
prepay the Loan in full in accordance with clause 4.2 and the provisions of clauses 4.4 and 4.5 shall apply to any such prepayment.

	4.1	Repayment 

  

	4.1.1	The Borrowers shall repay each Tranche by forty (40) repayment instalments, one such instalment to be repaid on each of the Repayment Dates for such Tranche. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the amount
of each of the first to thirty ninth repayment instalments (inclusive) for each Tranche shall be $950,000, and the amount of the fortieth and final repayment instalment for each Tranche shall be $30,450,000 (comprising a repayment instalment of
$950,000 and a balloon payment of $29,500,000 (each such balloon payment in relation to a Tranche, the “Balloon Instalment” for that Tranche)).

Instalment) shall be reduced proportionately.

 The Borrowers may prepay any Tranche in whole or part (such part

immediately cease and the Total Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of the Tranche for such Ship. 

  
 20 

	4.3.2	After first drawdown but prior to Delivery - Contracts 

 Upon the Contract for a Ship being
assigned, transferred or novated to and in favour of any person, in each case after any Contract Instalment Advance for such Ship has been drawn down but prior to the drawing of the Delivery Advance for such Ship, the obligation of the Banks to

	6	Payments and taxes; accounts and calculations 

  

	6.1	No set-off or counterclaim 

 The Borrowers acknowledge that in performing their
obligations under this Agreement, the Banks will be incurring liabilities to third parties in relation to the funding of amounts to the Borrowers, such liabilities matching the liabilities of the Borrowers to the Banks and that it is reasonable for
the Banks to be entitled to receive payments from the Borrowers gross on the due date in order that each of the Banks is put in a position to perform its matching obligations to the relevant third parties. Accordingly, all payments to be made by the
Borrowers under any of the Security Documents shall be made in full, without any set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and, subject as provided in clause 6.6, free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in Dollars on the due date to such account
at such bank and in such place as the Agent may from time to time specify for this purpose. Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any relevant Security Documents, such payments shall be for the account of all Banks and the Agent shall

 All sums to be advanced by the Banks to the Borrowers under this
Agreement shall be remitted in Dollars on the Drawdown Date for the relevant Advance to the account of the Agent at such bank as the Agent may have notified to the Banks and shall be paid by the Agent on such date in like funds as are received by

 Any certificate or determination of the Agent as to any rate of
interest or any other amount pursuant to and for the purposes of any of the Security Documents shall, in the absence of manifest error or gross negligence, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and on the Banks. 

 

	6.6	Grossing-up for Taxes - by the Borrowers 

 If at any time the Borrowers or any of them
are required to make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under any of the Security Documents for the account of any Creditor or if the Agent or the Security Agent is required to make any deduction or withholding
from a payment to another Creditor or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under any of the Security Documents, the sum due from the Borrowers or any of them in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to
ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the relevant Creditor receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding), a net sum equal to the sum which it
would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made and the Borrowers shall indemnify each Creditor against any losses or costs incurred by it by reason of any failure of the Borrowers or any of them to make any such
deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment. The Borrowers shall promptly deliver to the Agent any receipts, certificates or other proof evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or
payable in respect of any deduction or withholding as aforesaid. 
  

	6.7	Loan account 

 Each Bank shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, an
account evidencing the amounts from time to time lent by, owing to and paid to it under the Security Documents. The Agent and/or the Security Agent shall maintain a control account (being, in the case of any Mortgage which is in statutory form, the
“Account Current” referred to in such Mortgage) showing the Loan and other sums owing by the Borrowers under the Security Documents and all payments in respect thereof being made from time to time. The control account shall, in the absence
of manifest error, be conclusive as to the amount from time to time owing by the Borrowers under the Security Documents. 
  

	6.8	Agent may assume receipt 

 Where any sum is to be paid under the Security Documents to
the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent for the account of another person, the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent may assume that the payment will be made when due and the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent
may (but shall not be obliged to) make such sum available to the person so entitled. If it proves to be the case that such payment was not made to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent, then the person to whom such sum was so made
available shall on request refund such sum to the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent together with interest thereon sufficient to compensate the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent for the cost of making available such sum
up to the date of such repayment 

  
 25 

 
and the person by whom such sum was payable shall indemnify the Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Agent for any and all loss or expense which the Agent or, as the case may be, the
Security Agent may sustain or incur as a consequence of such sum not having been paid on its due date. 
  

	6.9	Partial payments 

 If, on any date on which a payment is due to be made by the Borrowers
under any of the Security Documents, the amount received by the Agent from the Borrowers falls short of the total amount of the payment due to be made by the Borrowers on such date then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to the
Agent, the Security Agent and the Banks under any of the Security Documents, the Agent shall apply the amount actually received from the Borrowers in or towards discharge of the obligations of the Borrowers under the Security Documents in the
following order, notwithstanding any appropriation made, or purported to be made, by the Borrowers: 
  

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

 

	6.9.2	secondly, in or towards payment, on a pro rata basis, of any fees and accrued commitment commission payable to the Arranger, the Agent or any of the other Creditors under, or in relation to, the Security Documents which
remain unpaid; 

  

	6.9.3	thirdly, in or towards payment to the Banks, on a pro rata basis, of any accrued interest which shall have become due under any of the Security Documents but remains unpaid; 

 

	6.9.4	fourthly, in or towards payment to the Banks, on a pro rata basis, of any principal amount which shall have become due but remains unpaid; 

 

	6.9.5	fifthly, in or towards payment to the Banks, on a pro rata basis, for any loss suffered by reason of any such payment in respect of principal not being effected on an Interest Payment Date relating to the part of the
Loan repaid; 

  

	6.9.6	sixthly, in or towards payment to the relevant person of any other sum which shall have become due under any of the Security Documents but remains unpaid (and, if more than one such sum so remains unpaid, on a pro rata
basis); and 

  

	6.9.7	seventhly (but subject to the provisions of each Manager’s Undertaking), in or towards payment of any fees and expenses owing by any of the Borrowers to the Manager pursuant to the relevant Management Agreement.

	10.1.33	Material events: any other event occurs or circumstance arises which, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent (following consultation with the Banks), is likely materially and adversely to affect either

absolute discretion (including, without limitation, assignment in favour of the Security Agent of substitute refund guarantees issued by substitute refund guarantors acceptable to the Banks in their absolute discretion). 

 

	10.2	Acceleration 

 The Agent may, and if so requested by the Majority Banks shall, without

date so specified together with all interest accrued and all other sums payable under this Agreement or (b) withdraw such declaration with effect from the date specified in such notice. 

 

	11	Indemnities 

  

	11.1	Miscellaneous indemnities 

 The Borrowers shall on demand indemnify each Creditor,
without prejudice to any of such Creditor’s other rights under any of the Security Documents, against any loss (including loss of Margin) or expense which such Creditor shall certify as sustained or incurred by it as a consequence of: 

 

	11.1.1	any default in payment of any sum under any of the Security Documents when due; 

  
 43 

	11.1.2	the occurrence of any other Event of Default;

Date relating to the part of the Tranche prepaid or repaid; or 

  

	11.1.4	any Advance not being made for any reason (excluding any default by the Agent or any Bank) after the Drawdown Notice for such Advance has been given, 

including, in any such case, but not limited to, any loss or expense sustained or incurred by the relevant Creditor in maintaining or funding
its Contribution or, as the case may be, its Commitment (or any part thereof) or in liquidating or re-employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain its Contribution or, as the case may be, its Commitment (or any part thereof)
or any other amount owing to such Creditor. 
  

	11.2	Currency indemnity 

 If any sum due from any of the Borrowers under any of the Security
Documents or any order or judgment given or made in relation thereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable under the relevant Security Document or under such order or judgment into
another currency (the “second currency”) for the purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrowers or any of them, (b) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or
(c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation to any of the Security Documents, the Borrowers shall indemnify and hold harmless each Creditor from and against any loss suffered as a result of any difference between (i) the
rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which the relevant Creditor may in the ordinary course of business purchase the
first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. The Creditors shall give the Borrowers 2 days’ notice prior to making a conversion from
the first currency into the second currency referred to above. Any amount due from the Borrowers under this clause 11.2 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect
of any of the Security Documents and the term “rate of exchange” includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of the first currency with the second currency. 

 

	11.3	Environmental indemnity 

 The Borrowers shall indemnify each Creditor on demand and hold
it harmless from and against all costs, expenses, payments, charges, losses, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings (whether civil or criminal), penalties, fines, damages, judgements, orders, sanctions or other outgoings of whatever nature which
may be suffered, incurred or paid by, or made or asserted against such Creditor at any time, whether before or after the repayment in full of principal and interest under this Agreement, relating to, or arising directly or indirectly in any manner
or for any cause or reason whatsoever out of an Environmental Claim made or asserted against such Creditor if such Environmental Claim would not have been, or been capable of being, made or asserted against such Creditor if it had not entered into
any of the Security Documents and/or exercised any of its rights, powers and discretions thereby conferred and/or performed any of its obligations thereunder and/or been involved in any of the transactions contemplated by the Security Documents.

  

	11.4	Central Bank or European Central Bank reserve requirements indemnity 

 The Borrowers
shall on demand promptly indemnify each Bank against any cost incurred or loss suffered by such Bank as a result of its complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank and/or with respect to maintaining required reserves
with the relevant national Central Bank to the extent that such compliance relates to such Bank’s Commitment and/or Contribution or deposits obtained by it to fund the whole or part of its Contribution and to the extent such cost or loss is not
recoverable by such Bank under clause 12.2. 

  
 44 

	12	Unlawfulness and increased costs 

  

	12.1	Unlawfulness 

 If it is or becomes contrary to any law or regulation for any Bank to
contribute to an Advance or to maintain its Commitment or fund the Loan, such Bank shall promptly, through the Agent, give notice to the Borrowers whereupon (a) such Bank’s Contribution shall be reduced to zero and (b) the Borrowers
shall be obliged to prepay such Bank’s Commitment either (i) forthwith or (ii) on a future specified date not being earlier than the latest date permitted by the relevant law or regulation together with interest accrued to the date of
prepayment and all other sums payable by the Borrowers under this Agreement. 
  

	12.2	Increased costs 

 If the result of any change in, or in the interpretation or application
of, or the introduction of, any law or any regulation, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law, but, if not having the force of law, with which a Bank or, as the case may be, its holding company habitually complies), including
(without limitation) those relating to Taxation, capital adequacy, liquidity, reserve assets, cash ratio deposits and special deposits, is to: 
  

	12.2.1	subject any Bank to Taxes or change the basis of Taxation of any Bank with respect to any payment under any of the Security Documents (other than Taxes or Taxation on the overall net income, profits or gains of such
Bank imposed in the jurisdiction in which its principal or lending office under this Agreement is located); and/or 

  

	12.2.2	increase the cost to, or impose an additional cost on, any Bank or its holding company in making or keeping such Bank’s Commitment available or maintaining or funding all or part of such Bank’s Contribution;
and/or 

  

	12.2.3	reduce the amount payable or the effective return to any Bank under any of the Security Documents; and/or 

  

	12.2.4	reduce any Bank’s or its holding company’s rate of return on its overall capital by reason of a change in the manner in which it is required to allocate capital resources to such Bank’s obligations under
any of the Security Documents; and/or 

  

	12.2.5	require any Bank or its holding company to make a payment or forgo a return on or calculated by reference to any amount received or receivable by such Bank under any of the Security Documents; and/or 

 

	12.2.6	require any Bank or its holding company to incur or sustain a loss (including a loss of future potential profits) by reason of being obliged to deduct all or part of its Commitment or the Loan from its capital for
regulatory purposes, 

 then and in each such case (subject to clause 12.3): 

 

	 	(a)	such Bank shall notify the Borrowers in writing of such event promptly upon its becoming aware of the same; and 

  

	 	(b)	the Borrowers shall on demand made at any time whether or not such Bank’s Contribution has been repaid, pay to the Agent for the account of such Bank the amount which such Bank specifies (in a certificate setting
forth the basis of the computation of such amount but not including any matters which such Bank or its holding company regards as confidential) is required to compensate such Bank and/or (as the case may be) its holding company for such liability to
Taxes, cost, reduction, payment, forgone return or loss. 

  
 45 

 For the purposes of this clause 12.2 “holding company” means the company or
entity (if any) within the consolidated supervision of which a Bank is included. 
  

	12.3	Exception 

 Nothing in clause 12.2 shall entitle any Bank to receive any amount in
respect of compensation for any such liability to Taxes, increased or additional cost, reduction, payment, foregone return or loss to the extent that the same is the subject of an additional payment under clause 6.6. 

 

	13	Security, set-off and pro-rata payments 

  

	13.1	Application of moneys 

 All moneys received by the Agent and/or the Security Agent under
or pursuant to any of the Security Documents and expressed to be applicable in accordance with the provisions of this clause 13.1, shall be applied in the following manner: 
  

	13.1.1	first, in or towards payment of all unpaid costs and expenses which may be owing to the Agent and/or the Security Agent or either of them under any of the Security Documents; 

 

	13.1.2	secondly, in or towards payment of any unpaid fees and commitment commission payable to the Creditors or any of them; 

  

	13.1.3	thirdly, in or towards payment of any arrears of interest owing in respect of the Loan or any part thereof; 

  

	13.1.4	fourthly, in or towards repayment of the Loan (whether the same is due and payable or not); 

  

	13.1.5	fifthly, in or towards payment to any Bank for any loss suffered by reason of any such payment in respect of principal not being effected on an Interest Payment Date relating to the part of the Loan repaid;

  

	13.1.6	sixthly, in or towards payment to any Creditor of any other sums owing to it under any of the Security Documents; 

  

	13.1.7	seventhly (but subject to the provisions of each Manager’s Undertaking), in or towards payment of any fees and expenses owing by any of the Borrowers to the Manager pursuant to the relevant Management Agreement;
and 

  

	13.1.8	eighthly, the surplus (if any) shall be paid to the Borrowers or to whomsoever else may be entitled to receive such surplus. 

  

	13.2	Set-off 

  

	13.2.1	The Borrowers authorise each Creditor (without prejudice to any of such Creditor’s rights at law, in equity or otherwise), at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default which is subsisting, and without
notice to the Borrowers, to apply any credit balance to which the Borrowers or any of them is then entitled standing upon any account of the Borrowers or any of them with any branch of such Creditor in or towards satisfaction of any sum due and
payable from the Borrowers or any of them to such Creditor under any of the Security Documents. For this purpose, each Creditor is authorised to purchase with the moneys standing to the credit of such account such other currencies as may be
necessary to effect such application. 

  

	13.2.2	No Creditor shall be obliged to exercise any right given to it by this clause 13.2. Each Creditor shall notify the Borrowers through the Agent forthwith upon the exercise or purported exercise of any right of set-off
giving full details in relation thereto and the Agent shall inform the other Creditors. 

  

	13.2.3	Nothing in this clause 13.2 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. 

  
 46 

	13.3	Pro rata payments 

  

	13.3.1	If at any time any Bank (the “Recovering Bank”) receives or recovers any amount owing to it by the Borrowers under this Agreement by direct payment, set-off or in any manner other than by payment
through the Agent pursuant to clauses 6.1 or 6.9 (not being a payment received from a Transferee Bank or a sub-participant in such Bank’s Contribution or any other payment of an amount due to the Recovering Bank for its sole account pursuant to
clauses 3.6, 5, 6.6, 11.1, 11.2, 12.1, or 12.2), the Recovering Bank shall, within two (2) Banking Days of such receipt or recovery (a “Relevant Receipt”) notify the Agent of the amount of the Relevant Receipt. If the Relevant
Receipt exceeds the amount which the Recovering Bank would have received if the Relevant Receipt had been received by the Agent and distributed pursuant to clause 6.1 or 6.9 (as the case may be) then: 

 

	 	(a)	within two (2) Banking Days of demand by the Agent, the Recovering Bank shall pay to the Agent an amount equal (or equivalent) to the excess; 

 

	 	(b)	the Agent shall treat the excess amount so paid by the Recovering Bank as if it were a payment made by the Borrowers and shall distribute the same to the Banks (other than the Recovering Bank) in accordance with clause
6.9; and 

  

	 	(c)	as between the Borrowers and the Recovering Bank the excess amount so redistributed shall be treated as not having been paid but the obligations of the Borrowers to the other Banks shall, to the extent of the amount so
re-distributed to them, be treated as discharged. 

  

	13.3.2	If any part of the Relevant Receipt subsequently has to be wholly or partly refunded by the Recovering Bank (whether to a liquidator or otherwise) each Bank to which any part of such Relevant Receipt was so
re-distributed shall on request from the Recovering Bank repay to the Recovering Bank such Bank’s pro-rata share of the amount which has to be refunded by the Recovering Bank. 

 

	13.3.3	Each Bank shall on request supply to the Agent such information as the Agent may from time to time request for the purposes of this clause 13.3. 

 

	13.3.4	Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause 13.3, no Recovering Bank shall be obliged to share any Relevant Receipt which it receives or recovers pursuant to legal proceedings taken by it to recover any sums
owing to it under this Agreement with any other party which has a legal right to, but does not, either join in such proceedings or commence and diligently pursue separate proceedings to enforce its rights in the same or another court (unless the
proceedings instituted by the Recovering Bank are instituted by it without prior notice having been given to such party through the Agent). 

  

	13.4	No release 

 For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that failure by any
Recovering Bank to comply with the provisions of clause 13.3 shall not release any other Recovering Bank from any of its obligations or liabilities under clause 13.3. 
  

	13.5	No charge 

 The provisions of this clause 13 shall not, and shall not be construed so as
to, constitute a charge by a Bank over all or any part of a sum received or recovered by it in the circumstances mentioned in clause 13.3. 
  

	13.6	Further assurance 

 The Borrowers jointly and severally undertake with each Creditor that
the Security Documents shall both at the date of execution and delivery thereof and so long as any moneys are owing 

  
 47 

 
under any of the Security Documents be valid and binding obligations of the respective parties thereto and rights of each Bank enforceable in accordance with their respective terms and that they
will, at their expense, execute, sign, perfect and do, and will procure the execution, signing, perfecting and doing by each of the other Security Parties of, any and every such further assurance, document, act or thing as in the reasonable opinion
of the Majority Banks may be necessary or desirable for perfecting the security contemplated or constituted by the Security Documents. 
  

	13.7	Conflicts 

 In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any of the other
Borrowers’ Security Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. 
  

	14	Operating Accounts 

  

	14.1	General 

 The Borrowers jointly and severally undertake with each Creditor that they
will: 
  

	14.1.1	on or before the Drawdown Date of the first Advance to be drawn down, open each of the Operating Accounts; and 

  

	14.1.2	procure that all moneys payable to each Borrower in respect of the Earnings of such Borrower’s Ship shall, unless and until the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) directs to the contrary
pursuant to the provisions of the relevant Deed of Covenant, be paid to the such Borrower’s Operating Account. 

  

	14.2	Operating Accounts: withdrawals 

 Unless and until the Agent (acting on the instructions
of the Majority Banks) shall direct to the contrary following the occurrence of an Event of Default which is subsisting, each Borrower may withdraw moneys from its Operating Account at any time. 

 

	14.3	Application of Operating Accounts 

 At any time after the occurrence of an Event of
Default which is subsisting, the Agent may (and on the instructions of the Majority Banks shall), without notice to the Borrowers, instruct the Account Bank to apply all moneys then standing to the credit of the Operating Accounts or any of them
(together with interest from time to time accruing or accrued thereon) in or towards satisfaction of any sums due to the Creditors or any of them under the Security Documents in the manner specified in clause 13.1. 

 

	14.4	Pledging of Operating Accounts 

 The Operating Accounts and all amounts from time to time
standing to the credit thereof shall be subject to the security constituted and the rights conferred by the Operating Account Pledges. 
  

	15	Assignment, transfer and lending office 

  

	15.1	Benefit and burden 

 This Agreement shall be binding upon, and enure for the benefit of,
the Creditors and the Borrowers and their respective successors in title.

obligations under this Agreement. 

  
 48 

	15.3	Transfers by Banks 

 Any Bank (the “Transferor Bank”) may at any time,
with the prior written consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and the request for which to be promptly responded to) and the Agent, cause all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations under this Agreement
and the Security Documents to be transferred to any other bank or financial institution (a “Transferee Bank”) by delivering to the Agent a Transfer Certificate duly completed and duly executed by the Transferor Bank and the
Transferee Bank. No such transfer is binding on, or effective in relation to, the Borrowers or the Agent unless (i) it is effected or evidenced by a Transfer Certificate which complies with the provisions of this clause 15.3 and is signed by or
on behalf of the Transferor Bank, the Transferee Bank and the Agent (on behalf of itself, the Borrowers and the other Creditors) and (ii) such transfer of rights under the other Security Documents has been effected and registered. The consent
of the Borrowers referred to above shall not be required in respect of a transfer (the Borrowers consenting to such transfer by the execution of this Agreement) if the relevant Transferee Bank is a Related Company of the relevant Transferor Bank.
Upon signature of any such Transfer Certificate by the Agent, which signature shall be effected as promptly as is practicable after such Transfer Certificate has been delivered to the Agent, and subject to the terms of such Transfer Certificate,
such Transfer Certificate shall have effect as set out below. 
 The following further provisions shall have effect in relation to any
Transfer Certificate: 
  

	15.3.1	a Transfer Certificate may be in respect of a Bank’s rights in respect of all, or part of, its Commitment and shall be in respect of the same proportion of its Contribution; 

 

	15.3.2	a Transfer Certificate shall only be in respect of rights and obligations of the Transferor Bank in its capacity as a Bank and shall not transfer its rights and obligations as the Agent, or in any other capacity, as the
case may be and such other rights and obligations may only be transferred in accordance with any applicable provisions of this Agreement; 

  

	15.3.3	a Transfer Certificate shall take effect in accordance with English law as follows: 

  

	 	(a)	to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate, the Transferor Bank’s payment rights and all its other rights (other than those referred to in clause 15.3.2 above) under this Agreement are assigned to the
Transferee Bank absolutely, free of any defects in the Transferor Bank’s title and of any rights or equities which the Borrowers had against the Transferor Bank; 

 

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

  

	 	(c)	the Transferee Bank becomes a Bank with a Contribution and/or a Commitment of the amounts specified in the Transfer Certificate; 

  

	 	(d)	the Transferee Bank becomes bound by all the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents which are applicable to the Banks generally, including those about pro-rata sharing and the exclusion of liability on
the part of, and the indemnification of, the Arranger, the Agent and the Security Agent and to the extent that the Transferee Bank becomes bound by those provisions, the Transferor Bank ceases to be bound by them; 

 

	 	(e)	an Advance or part of an Advance which the Transferee Bank makes after the Transfer Certificate comes into effect ranks in point of priority and security in the same way as it would have ranked had it been made by the
Transferor Bank, assuming that any defects in the Transferor Bank’s title and any rights or equities of any Security Party against the Transferor Bank had not existed; and 

 

	 	(f)	the Transferee Bank becomes entitled to all the rights under this Agreement which are applicable to the Banks generally, including but not limited to those relating to the Majority Banks and those under clauses 3.6, 5
and 12 and to the extent that the Transferee Bank becomes entitled to such rights, the Transferor Bank ceases to be entitled to them; 

  
 49 

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

 

	15.3.5	the Borrowers, the Account Bank, the Security Agent, the Arranger and the Banks hereby irrevocably authorise and instruct the Agent to sign any such Transfer Certificate on their behalf and undertake not to withdraw,
revoke or qualify such authority or instruction at any time. Promptly upon its signature of any Transfer Certificate, the Agent shall notify the Borrowers, the Transferor Bank and the Transferee Bank. 

 

	15.4	Reliance on Transfer Certificate 

  

	15.4.1	The Agent shall be entitled to rely on any Transfer Certificate believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been presented or signed by the persons by whom it purports to have been presented or signed, and
shall not be liable to any of the parties to this Agreement and the Security Documents for the consequences of such reliance. 

  

	15.4.2	The Agent shall at all times during the continuation of this Agreement maintain a register in which it shall record the name, Commitments, Contributions and administrative details (including the lending office) from
time to time of the Banks holding a Transfer Certificate and the date at which the transfer referred to in such Transfer Certificate held by each Bank was transferred to such Bank, and the Agent shall make the said register available for inspection
by any Bank or any Borrower during normal banking hours upon receipt by the Agent of reasonable prior notice requesting the Agent to do so. 

  

	15.4.3	The entries on the said register shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive in determining the identities of the Commitments, the Contributions and the Transfer Certificates held by the Banks from time to
time and the principal amounts of such Transfer Certificates and may be relied upon by the Agent and the other Security Parties for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the Security Documents. 

 

	15.5	Transfer fees and expenses 

 If any Bank causes the transfer of all or any part of its
rights, benefits and/or obligations under the Security Documents, such Bank shall bear and/or pay to the Agent on demand all costs, fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses), and all value added tax thereon, verified
by the Agent as having been incurred by the Agent and/or any other Creditor in connection with such transfer. 
  

	15.6	Documenting transfers 

 If any Bank assigns all or any part of its rights or transfers
all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations as provided in clause 15.3, the Borrowers jointly and severally undertake, immediately on being requested to do so by the Agent and at the cost of the Transferor Bank, to enter into, and
procure that the other Security Parties shall (at the cost of the Transferor Bank) enter into, such documents as may be necessary or desirable to transfer to the Transferee Bank all or the relevant part of such Bank’s interest in the Security
Documents and all relevant references in this Agreement to such Bank shall thereafter be construed as a reference to the Transferor Bank and/or its Transferee Bank (as the case may be) to the extent of their respective interests. 

 

	15.7	Sub-participation 

 A Bank may sub-participate all or any part of its rights and/or
obligations under the Security Documents with the prior consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and the request for which to be promptly responded to). 

  
 50 

	15.8	Lending office 

 Each Bank shall lend through its office at the address specified in
schedule 1 or, as the case may be, in any relevant Transfer Certificate or through any other office of such Bank selected from time to time by it through which such Bank wishes to lend for the purposes of this Agreement. If the office through which
a Bank is lending is changed pursuant to this clause 15.8, such Bank shall notify the Agent promptly of such change and the Agent shall notify the Borrowers, the Security Agent, the Account Bank and the other Banks. 

 

	15.9	Disclosure of information 

 A Bank may, with the prior consent of the Borrowers (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld and the request for which to be promptly responded to), disclose to a prospective assignee, transferee or to any other person who may propose entering into contractual relations with such Bank in relation to
this Agreement such information about the Borrowers and/or the other Security Parties as such Bank shall consider appropriate. 
  

	16	Arranger, Agent and Security Agent 

  

	16.1	Appointment of the Agent 

 Each of the Banks irrevocably appoints the Agent as its agent
for the purposes of this Agreement and such of the Security Documents to which it may be appropriate for the Agent to be party. By virtue of such appointment, each of the Banks hereby authorises the Agent: 

 

	16.1.1	to execute such documents as may be approved by the Majority Banks for execution by the Agent; and 

  

	16.1.2	(whether or not by or through employees or agents) to take such action on such Bank’s behalf and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to the Agent by this
Agreement and/or any other Security Document, together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

  

	16.2	Agent’s actions 

 Any action taken by the Agent under or in relation to this

 The Agent shall: 

 

	16.3.1	promptly notify each Bank of the contents of each notice, certificate or other document received by it from the Borrowers under or pursuant to clauses 8.1.1, 8.15 and 8.1.6; and

refrain from acting (or authorise the Security Agent to act or refrain from acting) in accordance with the instructions of the Banks, and shall be fully protected in so doing; 

  
 51 

	16.4.2	unless and until it shall have received directions from the Majority Banks, take such action or, as the case may be, refrain from taking such action (or authorise the Security Agent to take or refrain from taking such
action) in respect of a Default of which the Agent has actual knowledge as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Banks (but shall not be obliged to do so); 

 

	16.4.3	refrain from acting (or authorise the Security Agent to refrain from acting) in accordance with any instructions of the Banks to institute any legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any
of the other Security Documents until it and/or the Security Agent has been indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction against any and all costs, expenses or liabilities (including legal fees) which it would or might incur as a result;

  

	16.4.4	deem and treat (i) each Bank as the person entitled to the benefit of the Contribution of such Bank for all purposes of this Agreement unless and until a notice shall have been filed with the Agent pursuant to
clause 15.3 and shall have become effective, and (ii) the office set opposite the name of each of the Banks in schedule 1 as such Bank’s lending office, unless and until a written notice of change of lending office shall have been received
by the Agent and the Agent may act upon any such notice unless and until the same is superseded by a further such notice; 

  

	16.4.5	rely as to matters of fact which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of any Security Party upon a certificate signed by any director or officer of the relevant Security Party on behalf of the

	16.4.6	do anything which is in its opinion necessary or desirable to comply with any law or regulation in any jurisdiction. 

  

	16.5	No liability of Arranger or Agent 

 Neither the Arranger nor the Agent nor any of their
respective employees and agents shall: 
  

	16.5.1	be obliged to make any enquiry as to the use of any of the proceeds of the Loan unless (in the case of the Agent) so required in writing by a Bank, in which case the Agent shall promptly make the appropriate request to
the Borrowers; or 

  

	16.5.2	be obliged to make any enquiry as to any breach or default by the Borrowers or any of them or any other Security Party in the performance or observance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other
Security Documents or as to the existence of a Default unless (in the case of the Agent) the Agent has actual knowledge thereof or has been notified in writing thereof by a Bank, in which case the Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of the
relevant event or circumstance; or 

  

	16.5.3	be obliged to enquire whether or not any representation or warranty made by the Borrowers or any of them or any other Security Party pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents is true; or

  

	16.5.4	be obliged to do anything (including, without limitation, disclosing any document or information) which would, or might in its opinion, be contrary to any law or regulation or be a breach of any duty of confidentiality
or otherwise be actionable or render it liable to any person; or 

  

	16.5.5	be obliged to account to any Bank for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account; or

 52 

	16.5.7	be liable to any Bank for any action taken or omitted under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents unless caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 

For the purposes of this clause 16, neither the Arranger nor the Agent shall be treated as having actual knowledge of any matter of which the
corporate finance or any other division outside the agency or loan administration department of the Arranger or the person for the time being acting as the Agent may become aware in the context of corporate finance, advisory or lending activities
from time to time undertaken by the Arranger or, as the case may be, the Agent for any Security Party or any other person which may be a trade competitor of any Security Party or may otherwise have commercial interests similar to those of any
Security Party. 
  

	16.6	Non-reliance on Arranger or Agent 

 Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied on any
statement, opinion, forecast or other representation made by the Arranger or the Agent to induce it to enter into this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents and that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance on the Arranger
or the Agent and based on such documents as it considers appropriate, its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Security Parties and its own independent investigation of the financial condition, prospects and affairs of the Security Parties
in connection with the making and continuation of such Bank’s Commitment or Contribution under this Agreement. Neither the Arranger nor the Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any
Bank with any credit or other information with respect to any Security Party whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loan or at any time or times thereafter other than as provided in clause 16.3.1.

Arranger nor the Agent shall have any responsibility or liability to any Bank:

	16.7.2	for the financial condition of any Security Party; or 

  

	16.7.3	for the completeness or accuracy of any statements, representations or warranties in any of the Security Documents or any document delivered under any of the Security Documents; or 

 

	16.7.4	for the execution, effectiveness, adequacy, genuineness, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of any of the Security Documents or of any certificate, report or other document executed or delivered under
any of the Security Documents; or 

  

	16.7.5	to investigate or make any enquiry into the title of the Borrowers or any other Security Party to the Ships or any other security or any part thereof; or 

 

	16.7.6	for the failure to register any of the Security Documents with any official or regulatory body or office or elsewhere; or 

  

	16.7.7	for taking or omitting to take any other action under or in relation to any of the Security Documents or any aspect of any of the Security Documents; or 

 

	16.7.8	on account of the failure of the Security Agent to perform or discharge any of its duties or obligations under the Security Documents; or 

 

	16.7.9	otherwise in connection with this Agreement or its negotiation or for acting (or, as the case may be, refraining from acting) in accordance with the instructions of the Banks. 

  
 53 

	16.8	Reliance on documents and professional advice 

 Each of the Arranger and the Agent shall
be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person and shall be entitled to rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and
statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it (including those in the Arranger’s or, as the case may be, the Agent’s employment). 
  

	16.9	Other dealings 

 Each of the Arranger and the Agent may, without any liability to account
to the Banks, accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with, and provide advisory or other services to, any Security Party or any of its Related Companies or any of the Banks as if it were
not the Arranger or, as the case may be, the Agent. 
  

	16.10	Rights of Agent as Bank; no partnership 

 With respect to its own Commitment and
Contribution (if any) the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Security Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it under this Agreement and the
term “Banks” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity as a Bank. This Agreement shall not and shall not be construed so as to constitute a partnership between the parties or
any of them. 
  

	16.11	Amendments and waivers 

  

	16.11.1	Subject to clause 16.11.2, the Agent may, with the consent of the Majority Banks (or if and to the extent expressly authorised by the other provisions of any of the Security Documents) and, if so instructed by the
Majority Banks, shall: 

  

	 	(a)	agree (or authorise the Security Agent to agree) amendments or modifications to any of the Security Documents with the Borrowers and/or any other Security Party; and/or 

 

	 	(b)	vary or waive breaches of, or defaults under, or otherwise excuse performance of, any provision of any of the other Security Documents by the Borrowers and/or any other Security Party (or authorise the Security Agent to
do so). 

 Any such action so authorised and effected by the Agent shall be documented in such manner as the Agent shall (with
the approval of the Majority Banks) determine, shall be promptly notified to the Banks by the Agent and (without prejudice to the generality of clause 16.2) shall be binding on the Banks. 

 

	16.11.2	Except with the prior written consent of the Banks, the Agent shall have no authority on behalf of the Banks to agree (or authorise the Security Agent to agree) with the Borrowers and/or any other Security Party any
amendment or modification to any of the Security Documents or to grant (or authorise the Security Agent to grant) waivers in respect of breaches or defaults or to vary or excuse (or authorise the Security Agent to vary or excuse) performance of or
under any of the Security Documents by the Borrowers or any of them and/or any other Security Party, if the effect of such amendment, modification, waiver or excuse would be to: 

 

	 	(a)	reduce the Margin; 

  

	 	(b)	postpone the due date or reduce the amount of any payment of principal, interest or other amount payable by any Security Party under any of the Security Documents; 

 

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

  

	 	(d)	increase any Bank’s Commitment; 

  

  
 54 

	 	(e)	extend any Termination Date; 

  

	 	(f)	change any provision of any of the Security Documents which expressly or implied requires the approval or consent of all the Banks such that the relevant approval or consent may be given otherwise than with the sanction
of all the Banks; 

  

	 	(g)	change the order of distribution under clauses 6.9 and 13.1; 

  

	 	(h)	change this clause 16.11;

	 	(j)	release any Security Party from the security constituted by any Security Document (except as required by the terms thereof or by law) or change the terms and conditions upon which such security or guarantee may be, or
is required to be, released. 

  

	16.12	Reimbursement and indemnity by Banks 

 Each Bank shall reimburse the Agent (rateably in
accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or, if after the first drawdown, Contribution) to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrowers, for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Agent which are expressed to be payable
by the Borrowers under clause 5.1 including (in each case) the fees and expenses of legal or other professional advisers. Each Bank shall on demand indemnify the Agent (rateably in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or, if after the first
drawdown, Contribution) against all liabilities, damages, costs and claims whatsoever incurred by the Agent in connection with any of the Security Documents or the performance of its duties under any of the Security Documents or any action taken or
omitted by the Agent under any of the Security Documents, unless such liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise from the Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 

 

	16.13	Retirement of Agent 

  

	16.13.1	The Agent may, having given to the Borrowers and each of the Banks not less than fifteen (15) days’ notice of its intention to do so, retire from its appointment as Agent under this Agreement, provided that no
such retirement shall take effect unless there has been appointed by the Banks as a successor agent: 

  

	 	(a)	a Related Company of the Agent nominated by the Agent which the Banks hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to appoint or, failing such nomination, 

 

	 	(b)	a Bank nominated by the Majority Banks or, failing such a nomination, 

  

	 	(c)	any reputable and experienced bank or financial institution nominated by the retiring Agent. 

Any corporation into which the retiring Agent may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the Agent may be consolidated or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation to which the Agent shall be a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Agent under this Agreement and the other
Security Documents without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement and the other Security Documents save that notice of any such merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation
or other reorganisation shall forthwith be given to each Security Party and the Banks. Prior to any such successor being appointed, the Agent agrees to consult with the Borrowers as to the identity of the proposed successor and to take account of
any reasonable objections which the Borrowers may raise to such successor being appointed. 
  

	16.13.2	 Upon any such successor as aforesaid being appointed, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation under the Security Documents
(but shall continue to have the benefit of this clause 16 in respect of any action it has taken or refrained from taking 

  
 55 

	 	
prior to such discharge) and its successor and each of the other parties to this Agreement shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor had
been a party to this Agreement in place of the retiring Agent. The retiring Agent shall (at the expense of the Borrowers) provide its successor with copies of such of its records as its successor reasonably requires to carry out its functions under
the Security Documents. 

  

	16.14	Appointment and retirement of Security Agent 

  

	16.14.1	Appointment 

 Each of the Banks and the Agent irrevocably appoints the Security Agent as its
security agent and trustee for the purposes of this Agreement and the Security Documents to which the Security Agent is or is to be a party, in each case on the terms set out in this Agreement. By virtue of such appointment, each of the Banks and
the Agent hereby authorises the Security Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to the Security Agent by
this Agreement and/or the Security Documents to which the Security Agent is or is intended to be a party, together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

 

	16.14.2	Retirement 

 Without prejudice to clause 16.13, the Security Agent may, having given to the
Borrowers and each of the Banks not less than fifteen (15) days’ notice of its intention to do so, retire from its appointment as Security Agent under this Agreement and any Trust Deed, provided that no such retirement shall take effect
unless there has been appointed by the Banks and the Agent as a successor security agent and trustee: 
  

	 	(a)	a Related Company of the Security Agent nominated by the Security Agent which the Agent and the Banks hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree to appoint or, failing such nomination, 

 

	 	(b)	a bank or trust corporation nominated by the Majority Banks or, failing such a nomination, 

  

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

 and, in any case, such
successor security agent and trustee shall have duly accepted such appointment by delivering to the Agent (i) written confirmation (in a form acceptable to the Agent) of such acceptance agreeing to be bound by this Agreement in the capacity of
Security Agent as if it had been an original party to this Agreement and (ii) a duly executed Trust Deed. 
 Any corporation into which
the retiring Security Agent may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the Security Agent may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation to which the
Security Agent shall be a party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Security Agent under this Agreement, any Trust Deed and the other Security Documents referred to in clause 16.14.1 without the execution or filing of
any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement, any Trust Deed and the other Security Documents save that notice of any such merger, conversion, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganisation shall forthwith
be given to each Security Party and the Banks. Prior to any such successor being appointed, the Security Agent agrees to consult with the Borrowers as to the identity of the proposed successor and to take account of any reasonable objections which
the Borrowers may raise to such successor being appointed. 
 Upon any such successor as aforesaid being appointed, the retiring Security
Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation under the Security Documents (but shall continue to have the benefit of this clause 16 in respect of any action it has taken or refrained from taking

  
 56 

 
prior to such discharge) and its successor and each of the other parties to this Agreement shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor had
been a party to this Agreement in place of the retiring Security Agent. The retiring Security Agent shall (at the expense of the Borrowers) provide its successor with copies of such of its records as its successor reasonably requires to carry out
its functions under the Security Documents. 
  

	16.15	Powers and duties of the Security Agent 

  

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

  

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

  

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

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

	16.15.2	Subject to clause 16.15.3 the Security Agent may, with the prior consent of the Majority Banks communicated in writing by the Agent, concur with any of the Security Parties to: 

 

	 	(a)	amend, modify or otherwise vary any provision of the Security Documents to which the Security Agent is or is intended to be a party; or 

 

	 	(b)	waive breaches of, or defaults under, or otherwise excuse performance of, any provision of the Security Documents to which the Security Agent is or is intended to be a party. 

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

	16.15.3	The Security Agent shall not concur with any Security Party with respect to any of the matters described in clause 16.11.2 without the consent of the Banks communicated in writing by the Agent. 

 

	16.15.4	The Security Agent shall (subject to the other provisions of this clause 16) take such action or, as the case may be, refrain from taking such action, with respect to any of its rights, powers and discretions as
security agent and trustee, as the Agent may direct. Subject as provided in the foregoing provisions of this clause, unless and until the Security Agent shall have received such instructions from the Agent, the Security Agent may, but shall not be
obliged to, take (or refrain from taking) such action under or pursuant to the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.14.1 as the Security Agent shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Creditors provided that (for the avoidance of
doubt), to the extent that this clause might otherwise be construed as authorising the Security Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action of the nature referred to in clause 16.15.2 - and for which the prior consent of the Banks is expressly
required under clause 16.15.3 - clauses 16.15.2 and 16.15.3 shall apply to the exclusion of this clause. 

  

	16.15.5	None of the Banks nor the Agent shall have any independent power to enforce any of the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.14.1 or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or
releases under or pursuant to such Security Documents or any of them or otherwise have direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by such Security Documents or any of them except through the Security Agent. 

 

	16.15.6	 For the purpose of this clause 16, the Security Agent may, rely and act in reliance upon any information from time to time furnished to the Security
Agent by the Agent (whether pursuant to clause 16.15.7 or otherwise) unless and until the same is superseded by further such 

  
 57 

	 	
information, so that the Security Agent shall have no liability or responsibility to any party as a consequence of placing reliance on and acting in reliance upon any such information unless the
Security Agent has actual knowledge that such information is inaccurate or incorrect. 

  

	16.15.7	Without prejudice to the foregoing each of the Agent and the Banks (whether directly or through the Agent) shall provide the Security Agent with such written information as it may reasonably require for the purpose of
carrying out its duties and obligations under the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.14.1. 

  

	16.15.8	Each Bank shall reimburse the Security Agent (rateably in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or, if after the first drawdown, Contribution), to the extent that the Security Agent is not reimbursed by the
Borrowers, for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Agent which are expressed to be payable by the Borrowers under clause 5.2 including (in each case) the fees and expenses of legal or other professional advisers. Each Bank shall on
demand indemnify the Security Agent (rateably in accordance with such Bank’s Commitment or, if after the first drawdown, Contribution) against all liabilities, damages, costs and claims whatsoever incurred by the Security Agent in connection
with any of the Security Documents or the performance of its duties under any of the Security Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Security Agent under any of the Security Documents, unless such liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise
from the Security Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 

  

	16.16	Trust provisions 

  

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

 

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

  

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

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

 

	16.16.2	In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Documents specified in clause 16.14.1, the Security Agent shall, without prejudice to any of the powers, discretions and immunities conferred upon trustees by law
(and to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of any of those Security Documents), have all the same powers and discretions as a natural person acting as the beneficial owner of such property and/or as are conferred upon the Security Agent
by any of those Security Documents. 

  

	16.16.3	It is expressly declared that, in its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Documents specified in clause 16.14.1, the Security Agent shall be entitled to invest moneys forming part of the security and which,
in the opinion of the Security Agent, may not be paid out promptly following receipt in the name or under the control of the Security Agent in any of the investments for the time being authorised by law for the investment by trustees of trust moneys
or in any other property or investments whether similar to the aforesaid or not or by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Security Agent as the Security Agent may think fit without being under any duty to diversify
its investments and the Security Agent may at any time vary or transpose any such property or investments for or into any others of a like nature and shall not be responsible for any loss due to depreciation in value or otherwise of such property or
investments. Any investment of any part or all of the security may, at the discretion of the Security Agent, be made or retained in the names of nominees. 

  
 58 

	16.17	Independent action by Creditors 

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

	16.18	Common Agent and Security Agent 

 The Agent and the Security Agent have entered into the
Security Documents in their separate capacities (a) as agent for the Banks under and pursuant to this Agreement (in the case of the Agent) and (b) as security agent and trustee for the Banks and the Agent under and pursuant to this
Agreement, to hold the guarantees and/or security created by the Security Documents specified in clause 16.14.1 on the terms set out in such Security Documents (in the case of the Security Agent). However, from time to time the Agent and the
Security Agent may be the same entity. When the Agent and the Security Agent are the same entity and any Security Document provides for the Agent to communicate with or provide instructions to the Security Agent (and vice versa), it will not be
necessary for there to be any such formal communications or instructions on those occasions. 
  

	16.19	Co-operation to achieve agreed priorities of application 

 The Banks and the Agent shall
co-operate with each other and with the Security Agent and any receiver under the Security Documents in realising the property and assets subject to the Security Documents and in ensuring that the net proceeds realised under the Security Documents
after deduction of the expenses of realisation are applied in accordance with clause 13.1 (unless otherwise expressly provided for in any such Security Document). 
  

	16.20	Prompt distribution of proceeds 

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

	16.21	Change of Reference Bank 

 If the Reference Bank ceases to provide quotations to the
Agent for the purposes of determining LIBOR the Agent may, acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks, terminate the appointment of the Reference Bank and appoint another Bank acceptable to the Borrowers to replace it as a Reference Bank.

any other Security Document had it been valid and enforceable and which is not or ceases to be valid and enforceable against the other Borrower on any ground whatsoever, whether or not known to a Creditor including, without limitation, any irregular
exercise or absence of any corporate power or lack of authority of, or breach of duty by, any person purporting to act on behalf of the other Borrower (or any legal or other limitation, whether under the Limitation Acts or otherwise or any

 The Creditors shall not be obliged to make any claim or demand or
to resort to any Security Document or other means of payment now or hereafter held by or available to it for enforcing this Agreement or any of the Security Documents against any Borrower or any other person liable and no action taken or omitted by

party. 
  

	17.5.6	Waiver of Borrowers’ rights 

 Each Borrower agrees with each Creditor that, from the date

of the Majority Banks): 
  

	 	(a)	exercise any right of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity against the other Borrower or any other person liable under the Security Documents;

the benefit of, or share in, any payment from or composition with, the other Borrower or any other person liable or any other Security Document now or hereafter held by any Creditor for any moneys owing under this Agreement or for the obligations or
liabilities of any other person liable but so that, if so directed by the Agent, it will prove for the whole or any part of its claim in the liquidation of the other Borrower or other person liable on terms that the benefit of such proof and all
money received by it in respect thereof shall be held on trust for the Banks and applied in or towards discharge of any moneys owing under this Agreement in such manner as the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) shall deem

of them or any of their assets may be brought in the English courts. Each of the Borrowers irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and irrevocably designates,

or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not. 
 The parties further agree
that only the courts of England and not those of any other State shall have jurisdiction to determine any claim which the Borrowers or any of them may have against any Creditor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

 In consideration of the Banks making or continuing loans or advances

 2 

 
commission, fees and other charges and ail legal and other costs, charges and expenses on a full and unqualified indemnity basis which may be incurred by the Secured Creditors or any of them in
relation to any such moneys, obligations or liabilities or generally in respect of the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any Collateral Instrument. 
  

	2.2	Guarantor as principal debtor; indemnity 

 As a separate and independent stipulation, the
Guarantor agrees that if any purported obligation or liability of the Borrowers or any of them which would have been the subject of this Guarantee had it been valid and enforceable is not or ceases to be valid or enforceable against the Borrowers or
any of them on any ground whatsoever whether or not known to the Security Agent and/or the Secured Creditors or any of them (including, without limitation, any irregular exercise or absence of any corporate power or lack of authority of, or breach
of duty by, any person purporting to act on behalf of the Borrowers or any of them or any legal or other limitation, whether under the Limitation Acts or otherwise or any disability or Incapacity or any change in the constitution of the Borrowers or
any of them) the Guarantor shall nevertheless be liable to the Security Agent in respect of that purported obligation or liability as if the same were fully valid and enforceable and the Guarantor were the principal debtor in respect thereof
provided always that the Guarantor’s total and several liability under this clause 2.2 shall not exceed fifty per cent (50%) of the total amount of principal, interest, fees, commissions, costs and expenses and all other amounts of
whatsoever nature owing by the Borrowers under the Agreement and the other Security Documents at any relevant time. The Guarantor hereby agrees to keep the Security Agent fully indemnified on demand against all damages, losses, costs and expenses
arising from any failure of the Borrowers or any of them to perform or discharge any such purported obligation or liability, subject always to the fifty per cent (50%) limitation referred above in this clause 2.2. 

 

	2.3	Statements of account conclusive 

 Any statement of account, signed as correct by an
officer of the Security Agent, showing the amount of the Guaranteed Liabilities shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding on and conclusive against the Guarantor. 
  

	2.4	No security taken by Guarantor 

 The Guarantor warrants that it has not taken or
received, and undertakes that until all the Guaranteed Liabilities of the Borrowers have been paid or discharged in full, it will not take or receive, the benefit of any security from the Borrowers or any of them or any other person in respect of
its obligations under this Guarantee. 
  

	2.5	Interest 

 Subject to the fifty per cent (50%) limitation referred to in clause 2.1
and clause 2.2, the Guarantor agrees to pay interest on each amount demanded of it under this Guarantee from the date of such demand until payment (as well after as before judgment) at the rate specified in clause 3.4 of the Agreement which shall
apply to this Guarantee mutatis mutandis. Such interest shall be compounded at the end of each period determined for this purpose by the Security Agent in the event of it not being paid when demanded but without prejudice to any Secured
Creditor’s right to require payment of such interest. 
  

	2.6	Continuing security and other matters 

 This Guarantee shall: 

 

	2.6.1	secure the ultimate balance from time to time owing to the Secured Creditors or any of them by the Borrowers or any of them and shall be a continuing security, notwithstanding any settlement of account or other matter
whatsoever; 

  

	2.6.2	be in addition to any present or future Collateral Instrument, right or remedy held by or available to the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors; and 

  
 3 

	2.6.3	not be in any way prejudiced or affected by the existence of any such Collateral Instrument, rights or remedies or by the same becoming wholly or in part void, voidable or unenforceable on any ground whatsoever or by
the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors dealing with, exchanging, varying or failing to perfect or enforce any of the same or giving time for payment or indulgence or compounding with any other person liable. 

 

	2.7	Liability unconditional 

 The liability of the Guarantor shall not be affected nor shall
this Guarantee be discharged or reduced by reason of: 
  

	2.7.1	the Incapacity or any change in the name, style or constitution of the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable; 

  

	2.7.2	the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors granting any time, indulgence or concession to, or compounding with, discharging, releasing or varying the liability of, the Borrowers or any of them or any other
person liable or renewing, determining, varying or increasing any accommodation, facility or transaction or otherwise dealing with the same in any manner whatsoever or concurring in, accepting or varying any compromise, arrangement or settlement or
omitting to claim or enforce payment from the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable; or 

  

	2.7.3	any act or omission which would not have discharged or affected the liability of the Guarantor had it been a principal debtor instead of a guarantor or by anything done or omitted which but for this provision might
operate to exonerate the Guarantor. 

  

	2.8	Collateral Instruments 

 Neither the Security Agent nor any of the Secured Creditors
shall be obliged to make any claim or demand on the Borrowers or any of them or to resort to any Collateral Instrument or other means of payment now or hereafter held by or available to it before the Security Agent enforcing this Guarantee and no
action taken or omitted by the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors in connection with any such Collateral Instrument or other means of payment shall discharge, reduce, prejudice or affect the liability of the Guarantor under this
Guarantee nor shall the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors be obliged to apply any moneys or other property received or recovered in consequence of any enforcement or realisation of any such Collateral Instrument or other means of
payment in reduction of the Guaranteed Liabilities. 
  

	2.9	Waiver of Guarantor’s rights 

 Until all the Guaranteed Liabilities have been paid,
discharged or satisfied in full (and notwithstanding payment of a dividend in any liquidation or under any compromise or arrangement) the Guarantor agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of
the Majority Banks), it will not: 
  

	2.9.1	exercise its rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity against the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable; 

  

	2.9.2	demand or accept repayment in whole or in part of any Indebtedness now or hereafter due to the Guarantor from the Borrowers or any of them or from any other person liable or demand or accept any Collateral Instrument in
respect of the same or dispose of the same; 

  

	2.9.3	take any step to enforce any right against the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable in respect of any Guaranteed Liabilities; or 

 

	2.9.4	 claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or claim or prove in competition with the Security
Agent or any of the Secured Creditors in the liquidation of the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or have the benefit of, or share in, any payment from or composition with the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or
any other Collateral instrument now or hereafter held by 

  
 4 

	 	
the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors for any Guaranteed Liabilities or for the obligations or liabilities of any other person liable but so that, if so directed by the Security
Agent, it will prove for the whole or any part of its claim in the liquidation of the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable on terms that the benefit of such proof and of all money received by it in respect thereof shall be held on
trust for the Security Agent and applied in or towards discharge of the Guaranteed Liabilities in such manner as the Security Agent shall deem appropriate. 

  

	2.10	Suspense accounts 

 Any moneys received in connection with this Guarantee (whether before
or after any Incapacity of any of the Borrowers or the Guarantor) may be placed to the credit of a suspense account with a view to preserving the rights of the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors to prove for the whole of its claims
against the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or may be applied in or towards satisfaction of such of the Guaranteed Liabilities as the Security Agent may from time to time conclusively determine in its absolute discretion. 

 

	2.11	Settlements conditional 

 Any release, discharge or settlement between the Guarantor and
the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors shall be conditional upon no security, disposition or payment to the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors by the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable being void, set aside
or ordered to be refunded pursuant to any enactment or law relating to bankruptcy, liquidation, administration or insolvency or for any other reason whatsoever and if such condition shall not be fulfilled the Security Agent shall be entitled to
enforce this Guarantee subsequently as if such release, discharge or settlement had not occurred and any such payment had not been made. 
  

	2.12	Guarantor to deliver up certain property 

 If, contrary to clauses 2.4 or 2.9, the
Guarantor takes or receives the benefit of any security or receives or recovers any money or other property, such security, money or other property shall be held on trust for the Security Agent and shall be delivered to the Security Agent on demand.

  

	2.13	Retention of this Guarantee 

 The Security Agent shall be entitled to retain this
Guarantee after as well as before the payment or discharge of all the Guaranteed Liabilities for such period as the Security Agent may determine but in any event for no longer than thirty six (36) months after the payment and discharge in full
of the Guaranteed Liabilities. 
  

	3	Payments and Taxes 

  

	3.1	No set off or counterclaim 

 All payments to be made by the Guarantor under this
Guarantee shall be made in full, without any set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and, subject as provided in clause 3.2, free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in Dollars on the due date to such account of the Security Agent as it may
specify in writing to the Guarantor. 
  

	3.2	Grossing up for Taxes 

 If at any time the Guarantor is required to make any deduction or
withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under this Guarantee for the account of the Security Agent (or if the Security Agent is required to make any such deduction or withholding from a payment to a Secured Creditor of moneys received
under this Guarantee), the sum due from the Guarantor in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Security Agent or, as the case may be, such Secured
Creditor receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability 

  
 5 

 
in respect of such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made and the Guarantor shall
indemnify the Security Agent against any losses or costs incurred by it by reason of any failure of the Guarantor to make any such deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment. The
Guarantor shall promptly deliver to the Security Agent any receipts, certificates or other proof evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or payable in respect of any deduction or withholding as aforesaid. 

 

	3.3	Tax credits 

 If the Security Agent receives for its own account a repayment or credit in
respect of tax on account for which the Guarantor made an increased payment under clause 3.2, it shall pay to the Guarantor a sum equal to the repayment or credit received, provided always that: 

 

	3.3.1	the Security Agent can do so without prejudicing the retention of the amount of such repayment or credit and without prejudice to the right of the Security Agent to obtain any other relief or allowance which may be
available to it; 

  

	3.3.2	the Security Agent shall not be obliged to allocate to this transaction any part of a tax repayment or credit which is referable to a number of transactions; 

 

	3.3.3	nothing in this clause shall entitle the Guarantor to enquire about the Security Agent’s tax affairs or oblige the Security Agent to arrange its tax affairs in any particular manner, to disclose any information
regarding its tax affair and computations, to claim any type of relief, credit, allowance or deduction instead of, or in priority to, another or to make any such claim within any particular time; 

 

	3.3.4	nothing in this clause shall oblige the Security Agent to make a payment which exceeds any repayment or credit in respect of tax on account of which the Guarantor has made an increased payment under clause 3.2; and

  

	3.3.5	any allocation or determination made by the Security Agent under or in connection with this clause shall be binding on the Guarantor. 

 

	3.4	Currency indemnity 

 If any sum due from the Guarantor under this Guarantee or any order
or judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable under this Guarantee or under such order or judgment into another currency (the “second
currency”) for the purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Guarantor, (b) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation to this Guarantee,
the Guarantor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Security Agent from and against any loss suffered as a result of any difference between (i) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into
the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which the Security Agent may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part,
of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. The Security Agent will give two (2) days’ notice to the Guarantor prior to proceeding to any such conversion from the first currency to the second currency. Any amount due from the Guarantor under
this clause 3.4 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this Guarantee and the term “rate of exchange” includes any premium and costs of
exchange payable in connection with the purchase of the first currency with the second currency.

 2

any of them on any ground whatsoever whether or not known to the Security Agent and/or the Secured Creditors or any of them (including, without limitation, any irregular exercise or absence of any corporate power or lack of authority of, or breach
of duty by, any person purporting to act on behalf of the Borrowers or any of them or any legal or other limitation, whether under the Limitation Acts or otherwise or any disability or Incapacity or any change in the constitution of the Borrowers or
any of them) the Guarantor shall nevertheless be liable to the Security Agent in respect of that purported obligation or liability as if the same were fully valid and enforceable and the Guarantor were the principal debtor in respect thereof
provided always that the Guarantor’s total and several liability under this clause 2.2 shall not exceed fifty per cent (50%) of the total amount of principal, interest, fees, commissions, costs and expenses and all other amounts of
whatsoever nature owing by the Borrowers under the Agreement and the other Security Documents at any relevant time. The Guarantor hereby agrees to keep the Security Agent fully indemnified on demand against all damages, losses, costs and expenses

	2.3	Statements of account conclusive 

 Any statement of account, signed as correct by an
officer of the Security Agent, showing the amount of the Guaranteed Liabilities shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding on and conclusive against the Guarantor. 
  

	2.4	No security taken by Guarantor 

 The Guarantor warrants that it has not taken or
received, and undertakes that until all the Guaranteed Liabilities of the Borrowers have been paid or discharged in full, it will not take or receive, the benefit of any security from the Borrowers or any of them or any other person in respect of
its obligations under this Guarantee. 
  

	2.5	Interest 

 Subject to the fifty per cent (50%) limitation referred to in clause 2.1
and clause 2.2, the Guarantor agrees to pay interest on each amount demanded of it under this Guarantee from the date of such demand until payment (as well after as before judgment) at the rate specified in clause 3.4 of the Agreement which shall
apply to this Guarantee mutatis mutandis. Such interest shall be compounded at the end of each period determined for this purpose by the Security Agent in the event of it not being paid when demanded but without prejudice to any Secured
Creditor’s right to require payment of such interest. 
  

	2.6	Continuing security and other matters 

 This Guarantee shall: 

 

	2.6.1	secure the ultimate balance from time to time owing to the Secured Creditors or any of them by the Borrowers or any of them and shall be a continuing security, notwithstanding any settlement of account or other matter
whatsoever; 

  

	2.6.2	be in addition to any present or future Collateral Instrument, right or remedy held by or available to the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors; and 

  
 3 

	2.6.3	not be in any way prejudiced or affected by the existence of any such Collateral Instrument, rights or remedies or by the same becoming wholly or in part void, voidable or unenforceable on any ground whatsoever or by
the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors dealing with, exchanging, varying or failing to perfect or enforce any of the same or giving time for payment or indulgence or compounding with any other person liable. 

 

	2.7	Liability unconditional 

 The liability of the Guarantor shall not be affected nor shall
this Guarantee be discharged or reduced by reason of: 
  

	2.7.1	the Incapacity or any change in the name, style or constitution of the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable; 

  

	2.7.2	the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors granting any time, indulgence or concession to, or compounding with, discharging, releasing or varying the liability of, the Borrowers or any of them or any other
person liable or renewing, determining, varying or increasing any accommodation, facility or transaction or otherwise dealing with the same in any manner whatsoever or concurring in, accepting or varying any compromise, arrangement or settlement or
omitting to claim or enforce payment from the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable; or 

  

	2.7.3	any act or omission which would not have discharged or affected the liability of the Guarantor had it been a principal debtor instead of a guarantor or by anything done or omitted which but for this provision might
operate to exonerate the Guarantor. 

  

	2.8	Collateral Instruments 

 Neither the Security Agent nor any of the Secured Creditors
shall be obliged to make any claim or demand on the Borrowers or any of them or to resort to any Collateral Instrument or other means of payment now or hereafter held by or available to it before the Security Agent enforcing this Guarantee and no
action taken or omitted by the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors in connection with any such Collateral Instrument or other means of payment shall discharge, reduce, prejudice or affect the liability of the Guarantor under this
Guarantee. 
  

	2.9	Waiver of Guarantor’s rights 

 Until all the Guaranteed Liabilities have been paid,
discharged or satisfied in full (and notwithstanding payment of a dividend in any liquidation or under any compromise or arrangement) the Guarantor agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of
the Majority Banks), it will not: 
  

	2.9.1	exercise its rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity against the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable; 

  

	2.9.2	demand or accept repayment in whole or in part of any Indebtedness now or hereafter due to the Guarantor from the Borrowers or any of them or from any other person liable or demand or accept any Collateral Instrument in
respect of the same or dispose of the same;

	2.9.4	 claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or claim or prove in competition with the Security
Agent or any of the Secured Creditors in the liquidation of the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or have the benefit of, or share in, any payment from or composition with the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or
any other Collateral Instrument now or hereafter held by the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors for any Guaranteed Liabilities or for the obligations or liabilities of any other person liable but so that, if so directed by the Security
Agent, it will prove for the whole or any part of its claim in the liquidation of the Borrowers or 

  
 4 

	 	
any of them or any other person liable on terms that the benefit of such proof and of all money received by it in respect thereof shall be held on trust for the Security Agent and applied in or
towards discharge of the Guaranteed Liabilities in such manner as the Security Agent shall deem appropriate. 

  

	2.10	Suspense accounts 

 Any moneys received in connection with this Guarantee (whether before
or after any Incapacity of any of the Borrowers or the Guarantor) may be placed to the credit of a suspense account with a view to preserving the rights of the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors to prove for the whole of its claims
against the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or may be applied in or towards satisfaction of such of the Guaranteed Liabilities as the Security Agent may from time to time conclusively determine in its absolute discretion. 

 

	2.11	Settlements conditional 

 Any release, discharge or settlement between the Guarantor and
the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors shall be conditional upon no security, disposition or payment to the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors by the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable being void, set aside
or ordered to be refunded pursuant to any enactment or law relating to bankruptcy, liquidation, administration or insolvency or for any other reason whatsoever and if such condition shall not be fulfilled the Security Agent shall be entitled to
enforce this Guarantee subsequently as if such release, discharge or settlement had not occurred and any such payment had not been made. 
  

	2.12	Guarantor to deliver up certain property 

 If, contrary to clauses 2.4 or 2.9, the
Guarantor takes or receives the benefit of any security or receives or recovers any money or other property (but excluding any dividends paid by a Borrower to the Guarantor, if such payment is permitted by the terms of the Agreement), such security,
money or other property shall be held on trust for the Security Agent and shall be delivered to the Security Agent on demand. 
  

	2.13	Retention of this Guarantee 

 The Security Agent shall be entitled to retain this
Guarantee after as well as before the payment or discharge of all the Guaranteed Liabilities for such period as the Security Agent may determine but in any event for no longer than thirty six (36) months after the payment and discharge in full
of the Guaranteed Liabilities. 
  

	3	Payments and Taxes 

  

	3.1	No set off or counterclaim 

 All payments to be made by the Guarantor under this
Guarantee shall be made in full, without any set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and, subject as provided in clause 3.2, free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in Dollars on the due date to such account of the Security Agent as it may
specify in writing to the Guarantor. 
  

	3.2	Grossing up for Taxes 

 If at any time the Guarantor is required to make any deduction or
withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under this Guarantee for the account of the Security Agent (or if the Security Agent is required to make any such deduction or withholding from a payment to a Secured Creditor of moneys received
under this Guarantee), the sum due from the Guarantor in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Security Agent or, as the case may be, such Secured
Creditor receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have 

  
 5 

 
received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made and the Guarantor shall indemnify the Security Agent against any losses or costs incurred by it by reason of any failure of
the Guarantor to make any such deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment. The Guarantor shall promptly deliver to the Security Agent any receipts, certificates or other proof
evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or payable in respect of any deduction or withholding as aforesaid. 
  

	3.3	Tax credits 

 If the Security Agent receives for its own account a repayment or credit in
respect of tax on account for which the Guarantor made an increased payment under clause 3.2, it shall pay to the Guarantor a sum equal to the repayment or credit received, provided always that: 

 

	3.3.1	the Security Agent can do so without prejudicing the retention of the amount of such repayment or credit and without prejudice to the right of the Security Agent to obtain any other relief or allowance which may be
available to it; 

  

	3.3.2	the Security Agent shall not be obliged to allocate to this transaction any part of a tax repayment or credit which is referable to a number of transactions; 

 

	3.3.3	nothing in this clause shall entitle the Guarantor to enquire about the Security Agent’s tax affairs or oblige the Security Agent to arrange its tax affairs in any particular manner, to disclose any information
regarding its tax affair and computations, to claim any type of relief, credit, allowance or deduction instead of, or in priority to, another or to make any such claim within any particular time; 

 

	3.3.4	nothing in this clause shall oblige the Security Agent to make a payment which exceeds any repayment or credit in respect of tax on account of which the Guarantor has made an increased payment under clause 3.2; and

  

	3.3.5	any allocation or determination made by the Security Agent under or in connection with this clause shall be binding on the Guarantor. 

 

	3.4	Currency indemnity 

 If any sum due from the Guarantor under this Guarantee or any order
or judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable under this Guarantee or under such order or judgment into another currency (the “second
currency”) for the purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Guarantor, (b) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation to
this Guarantee, the Guarantor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Security Agent from and against any loss suffered as a result of any difference between (i) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the
first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which the Security Agent may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in
satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. The Security Agent will give two (2) days’ notice to the Guarantor prior to proceeding to any such conversion from the first currency to the second currency.
Any amount due from the Guarantor under this clause 3.4 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this Guarantee and the term “rate of
exchange” includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of the first currency with the second currency.

	2.1	Covenant to pay 

 In consideration of the Banks making or continuing loans or advances

Creditors, on demand by the Security Agent all moneys and discharge all obligations and liabilities now or hereafter due, owing or incurred by the Borrowers or any of them to the Secured Creditors or any of them under or pursuant to the Agreement
and the other Security Documents or any of them, when the same become due for payment or discharge whether by acceleration or otherwise, and whether such moneys, obligations or liabilities are express or implied, present, future or contingent, joint
or several, incurred as principal or surety, originally owing to the Secured Creditors or any of them or purchased or otherwise acquired by any of them, denominated in Dollars or in any other currency, or incurred on any banking account or in any

 2 

 
commission, fees and other charges and all legal and other costs, charges and expenses on a full and unqualified indemnity basis which may be incurred by the Secured Creditors or any of them in
relation to any such moneys, obligations or liabilities or generally in respect of the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any Collateral Instrument. 
  

	2.2	Guarantor as principal debtor; indemnity 

 As a separate and independent stipulation, the
Guarantor agrees that if any purported obligation or liability of the Borrowers or any of them which would have been the subject of this Guarantee had it been valid and enforceable is not or ceases to be valid or enforceable against the Borrowers or
any of them on any ground whatsoever whether or not known to the Security Agent and/or the Secured Creditors or any of them (including, without limitation, any irregular exercise or absence of any corporate power or lack of authority of, or breach
of duty by, any person purporting to act on behalf of the Borrowers or any of them or any legal or other limitation, whether under the Limitation Acts or otherwise or any disability or Incapacity or any change in the constitution of the Borrowers or
any of them) the Guarantor shall nevertheless be liable to the Security Agent in respect of that purported obligation or liability as if the same were fully valid and enforceable and the Guarantor were the principal debtor in respect thereof
provided always that the Guarantor’s total and several liability under this clause 2.2 shall not exceed fifty per cent (50%) of the total amount of principal, interest, fees, commissions, costs and expenses and all other amounts of
whatsoever nature owing by the Borrowers under the Agreement and the other Security Documents at any relevant time. The Guarantor hereby agrees to keep the Security Agent fully indemnified on demand against all damages, losses, costs and expenses

	2.3	Statements of account conclusive 

 Any statement of account, signed as correct by an

	2.4	No security taken by Guarantor 

 The Guarantor warrants that it has not taken or
received, and undertakes that until all the Guaranteed Liabilities of the Borrowers have been paid or discharged in full, it will not take or receive, the benefit of any security from the Borrowers or any of them or any other person in respect of
its obligations under this Guarantee. 
  

	2.5	Interest 

 Subject to the fifty per cent (50%) limitation referred to in clause 2.1
and clause 2.2, the Guarantor agrees to pay interest on each amount demanded of it under this Guarantee from the date of such demand until payment (as well after as before judgment) at the rate specified in clause 3.4 of the Agreement which shall
apply to this Guarantee mutatis mutandis. Such interest shall be compounded at the end of each period determined for this purpose by the Security Agent in the event of it not being paid when demanded but without prejudice to any Secured
Creditor’s right to require payment of such interest. 
  

	2.6	Continuing security and other matters 

 This Guarantee shall: 

 

	2.6.1	secure the ultimate balance from time to time owing to the Secured Creditors or any of them by the Borrowers or any of them and shall be a continuing security, notwithstanding any settlement of account or other matter
whatsoever; 

  

	2.6.2	be in addition to any present or future Collateral Instrument, right or remedy held by or available to the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors; and 

  
 3 

	2.6.3	not be in any way prejudiced or affected by the existence of any such Collateral Instrument, rights or remedies or by the same becoming wholly or in part void, voidable or unenforceable on any ground whatsoever or by
the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors dealing with, exchanging, varying or failing to perfect or enforce any of the same or giving time for payment or indulgence or compounding with any other person liable. 

 

	2.7	Liability unconditional 

 The liability of the Guarantor shall not be affected nor shall
this Guarantee be discharged or reduced by reason of: 
  

	2.7.1	the Incapacity or any change in the name, style or constitution of the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable; 

  

	2.7.2	the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors granting any time, indulgence or concession to, or compounding with, discharging, releasing or varying the liability of, the Borrowers or any of them or any other
person liable or renewing, determining, varying or increasing any accommodation, facility or transaction or otherwise dealing with the same in any manner whatsoever or concurring in, accepting or varying any compromise, arrangement or settlement or
omitting to claim or enforce payment from the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable; or 

  

	2.7.3	any act or omission which would not have discharged or affected the liability of the Guarantor had it been a principal debtor instead of a guarantor or by anything done or omitted which but for this provision might
operate to exonerate the Guarantor. 

  

	2.8	Collateral Instruments 

 Neither the Security Agent nor any of the Secured Creditors
shall be obliged to make any claim or demand on the Borrowers or any of them or to resort to any Collateral Instrument or other means of payment now or hereafter held by or available to it before the Security Agent enforcing this Guarantee and no
action taken or omitted by the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors in connection with any such Collateral Instrument or other means of payment shall discharge, reduce, prejudice or affect the liability of the Guarantor under this
Guarantee. 
  

	2.9	Waiver of Guarantor’s rights 

 Until all the Guaranteed Liabilities have been paid,
discharged or satisfied in full (and notwithstanding payment of a dividend in any liquidation or under any compromise or arrangement) the Guarantor agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Security Agent (acting on the instructions of
the Majority Banks), it will not: 
  

	2.9.1	exercise its rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity against the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable; 

  

	2.9.2	demand or accept repayment in whole or in part of any Indebtedness now or hereafter due to the Guarantor from the Borrowers or any of them or from any other person liable or demand or accept any Collateral Instrument in
respect of the same or dispose of the same; 

  

	2.9.3	take any step to enforce any right against the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable in respect of any Guaranteed Liabilities; or 

 

	2.9.4	 claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or claim or prove in competition with the Security
Agent or any of the Secured Creditors in the liquidation of the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or have the benefit of, or share in, any payment from or composition with the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or
any other Collateral Instrument now or hereafter held by the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors for any Guaranteed Liabilities or for the obligations or liabilities of any other person liable but so that, if so directed by the Security
Agent, it will prove for the whole or any part of its claim in the liquidation of the Borrowers or 

  
 4 

	 	
any of them or any other person liable on terms that the benefit of such proof and of all money received by it in respect thereof shall be held on trust for the Security Agent and applied in or
towards discharge of the Guaranteed Liabilities in such manner as the Security Agent shall deem appropriate. 

  

	2.10	Suspense accounts 

 Any moneys received in connection with this Guarantee (whether before
or after any Incapacity of any of the Borrowers or the Guarantor) may be placed to the credit of a suspense account with a view to preserving the rights of the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors to prove for the whole of its claims
against the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable or may be applied in or towards satisfaction of such of the Guaranteed Liabilities as the Security Agent may from time to time conclusively determine in its absolute discretion. 

 

	2.11	Settlements conditional 

 Any release, discharge or settlement between the Guarantor and
the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors shall be conditional upon no security, disposition or payment to the Security Agent or any of the Secured Creditors by the Borrowers or any of them or any other person liable being void, set aside
or ordered to be refunded pursuant to any enactment or law relating to bankruptcy, liquidation, administration or insolvency or for any other reason whatsoever and if such condition shall not be fulfilled the Security Agent shall be entitled to
enforce this Guarantee subsequently as if such release, discharge or settlement had not occurred and any such payment had not been made. 
  

	2.12	Guarantor to deliver up certain property 

 If, contrary to clauses 2.4 or 2.9, the
Guarantor takes or receives the benefit of any security or receives or recovers any money or other property (but excluding any dividends paid by any Subsidiary of the Guarantor to the Guarantor, if such payment is not prohibited by the terms of the
Agreement or any other Security Document), such security, money or other property shall be held on trust for the Security Agent and shall be delivered to the Security Agent on demand. 

 

	2.13	Retention of this Guarantee 

 The Security Agent shall be entitled to retain this
Guarantee after as well as before the payment or discharge of all the Guaranteed Liabilities for such period as the Security Agent may determine but in any event for no longer than six (6) months after the payment and discharge in full of the
Guaranteed Liabilities. 
  

	3	Payments and Taxes 

  

	3.1	No set off or counterclaim 

 All payments to be made by the Guarantor under this
Guarantee shall be made in full, without any set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and, subject as provided in clause 3.2, free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in Dollars on the due date to such account of the Security Agent as it may
specify in writing to the Guarantor. 
  

	3.2	Grossing up for Taxes 

 If at any time the Guarantor is required to make any deduction or
withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under this Guarantee for the account of the Security Agent (or if the Security Agent is required to make any such deduction or withholding from a payment to a Secured Creditor of moneys received
under this Guarantee), the sum due from the Guarantor in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the Security Agent or, as the case may be, such Secured
Creditor receives on the due date for such payment (and retains, free from any liability in respect of such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have 

  
 5 

 
received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made and the Guarantor shall indemnify the Security Agent against any losses or costs incurred by it by reason of any failure of
the Guarantor to make any such deduction or withholding or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment. The Guarantor shall promptly deliver to the Security Agent any receipts, certificates or other proof
evidencing the amounts (if any) paid or payable in respect of any deduction or withholding as aforesaid. 
  

	3.3	Tax credits 

 If the Security Agent receives for its own account a repayment or credit in
respect of tax on account for which the Guarantor made an increased payment under clause 3.2, it shall pay to the Guarantor a sum equal to the repayment or credit received, provided always that: 

 

	3.3.1	the Security Agent can do so without prejudicing the retention of the amount of such repayment or credit and without prejudice to the right of the Security Agent to obtain any other relief or allowance which may be
available to it; 

  

	3.3.2	the Security Agent shall not be obliged to allocate to this transaction any part of a tax repayment or credit which is referable to a number of transactions; 

 

	3.3.3	nothing in this clause shall entitle the Guarantor to enquire about the Security Agent’s tax affairs or oblige the Security Agent to arrange its tax affairs in any particular manner, to disclose any information
regarding its tax affair and computations, to claim any type of relief, credit, allowance or deduction instead of, or in priority to, another or to make any such claim within any particular time; 

 

	3.3.4	nothing in this clause shall oblige the Security Agent to make a payment which exceeds any repayment or credit in respect of tax on account of which the Guarantor has made an increased payment under clause 3.2; and

  

	3.3.5	any allocation or determination made by the Security Agent under or in connection with this clause shall be binding on the Guarantor. 

 

	3.4	Currency indemnity 

 If any sum due from the Guarantor under this Guarantee or any order
or judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable under this Guarantee or under such order or judgment into another currency (the “second
currency”) for the purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Guarantor, (b) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation to
this Guarantee, the Guarantor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Security Agent from and against any loss suffered as a result of any difference between (i) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the
first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which the Security Agent may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in
satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof. The Security Agent will give two (2) days’ notice to the Guarantor prior to proceeding to any such conversion from the first currency to the second currency.
Any amount due from the Guarantor under this clause 3.4 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this Guarantee and the term “rate of
exchange” includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of the first currency with the second currency.

	7	Remedies cumulative and other provisions

 No failure or delay on the part of the Security Agent to exercise any right,

determination of any proceedings taken by the Security Agent to enforce any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or proceedings to enforce the same or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Nor shall the
giving by the Security Agent of any consent to any act which by the terms of this Deed requires such consent prejudice the right of the Security Agent to withhold or give consent to the doing of any other similar act. The remedies provided in the
Security Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
  

	7.2	Delegation 

 The Security Agent shall be entitled, at any time and as often as may be

expenses or liabilities of whatsoever nature (including legal fees, fees of insurance advisers, printing, out-of-pocket expenses, stamp duties, registration fees and other duties or charges together with any value added tax or similar tax payable in
respect thereof) incurred by the Security Agent in connection with the enforcement of, or preservation of any rights under, this Deed or otherwise in respect of the Outstanding Indebtedness and the security therefor or in connection with the
preparation, completion, execution or registration of this Deed.

or omitted in the exercise of, or purported exercise of, the powers contained in this Deed or the implementation of the Assigned Documents, or in respect of the design, construction, equipment or use or operation of the Ship or otherwise in
connection herewith or with any part of the Assigned Property or otherwise howsoever in relation to, or in connection with, any of the matters dealt with in any of the Security Documents unless such losses, claims, expenses, liabilities and
obligations are caused by the Security Agent’s gross negligence and/or wilful misconduct. 
  

	9	Attorney 

  

	9.1	Power of attorney 

 By way of security, the Buyer hereby irrevocably appoints the
Security Agent to be its attorney generally for and in the name and on behalf of the Buyer and as the act and deed or otherwise of the Buyer to execute, seal and deliver and otherwise perfect and do all such deeds, assurances, agreements,
instruments, acts and things including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, to ask, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for moneys due and to become due under or arising out of
any of the Assigned Documents including all amounts already paid by the Buyer to the Builder pursuant to the Contract, to endorse any cheques or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or
institute any proceedings which to the Security Agent may seem to be necessary or advisable to execute and deliver a bill of sale of the Ship and generally to do any and all such things as the Buyer itself could do in relation to the property hereby
assigned which may be required for the full exercise of all or any of the rights, powers or remedies conferred hereby or which may be deemed proper in or in connection with all or any of the purposes aforesaid. The power hereby conferred shall be a
general power of attorney under the Powers of Attorney Act 1971, and the Buyer ratifies and confirms, and agrees to ratify and confirm, any deed, assurance, agreement, instrument, act or thing which the Security Agent may execute or do pursuant
thereto. Provided always that such power shall not be exercisable by or on behalf of the Security Agent until the happening of any Default which is subsisting. 
  

	9.2	Dealings with attorneys 

 The exercise of such power by or on behalf of the Security
Agent shall not put any person dealing with the Security Agent upon any enquiry as to whether any Default has happened, nor shall such person be in any way affected by notice that no such event has happened, and the exercise by the Security Agent of
such power shall be conclusive evidence of its or his right to exercise the same. 
  

	9.3	Filings 

 The Buyer hereby irrevocably appoints the Security Agent to be its attorney in
the name and on behalf of the Buyer and as the act and deed or otherwise of the Buyer to agree the form of and to do and execute all deeds, instruments, acts and things to file, record, register or enrol this Deed which the Security Agent may in its
discretion consider necessary or advisable, now or in the future, to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence thereof.

 The Buyer hereby further undertakes at its own expense from time to
time to execute, sign, perfect, do and (if required) register every such further assurance, document, act or thing as in the reasonable opinion of the Security Agent may be necessary or desirable for the purpose of more effectually assigning the
Assigned Property or perfecting the security constituted or intended to be constituted by this Deed. 

  
 10 

	11	Assignment 

 Subject to clause 5, the provisions of clause 15 of the Agreement shall
apply mutatis mutandis in respect of any assignment of rights or transfer of obligations under this Deed and the rights of each of the Buyer and the Security Agent to effect any assignment of rights or transfer of obligations under this Deed.

  

	12	Notices 

 The provisions of clauses 17.1 and 17.2 of the Agreement shall apply mutatis
mutandis in respect of any certificate, notice, demand or other communication given or made under this Deed save that references therein to the “Borrowers or any of them” shall be construed for the purposes of this Deed as references

	13.1	Law 

 This Deed is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Deed against the Buyer or any of its assets may be brought in the English courts or in the courts of any other jurisdiction chosen by the Security
Agent, each of which shall have jurisdiction to settle any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Deed. The Buyer irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts, and irrevocably designates, appoints and
empowers [—] at present of [—], England to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process issued out of the English courts in any such
legal action or proceedings. The submission to such jurisdiction shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit the right of the Security Agent to take proceedings against the Buyer in any other court of competent jurisdiction nor shall the
taking of proceedings by the Security Agent in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings by the Security Agent in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not. 

The parties further agree that only the courts of England and not those of any other State shall have jurisdiction to determine any claim which
the Buyer may have against the Security Agent arising out of or in connection with this Deed. 
  

	13.3	Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 

 No term of this Deed is enforceable under

“Contract”), whereby the Builder agreed to design, build, launch, equip, complete, sell and deliver to the Buyer after completion and successful trials one 158,000 dwt crude oil tanker currently known as [—] [—] and the Buyer agreed to purchase and take delivery of the same. 

NOW WE HEREBY GIVE YOU NOTICE: 
  

	1	that by a deed of assignment (the “Assignment”) dated [—] 2008 and made between the Buyer and BNP Paribas (Suisse) SA of Switzerland acting as
security agent and trustee for itself and certain other banks and financial institutions (the “Security Agent”), the Buyer has assigned to the Security Agent all its beneficial interests and all its benefits, right and title in, to
and under the Contract but the Buyer continues to be responsible to the Builder for performance of the Buyer’s obligations thereunder; 

  

	2	that the Builder is irrevocably authorised and instructed: 

  

	 	(a)	to hold the Ship to the order and at the disposal of the Security Agent (subject only to any lien of the Builder as builder for moneys due to it under the Contract); 

 

	 	(b)	to hold the builder’s certificate and any other document of title to the Ship to the order and at the disposal of the Security Agent (subject only to any lien of the Builder as builder for moneys due to it under

	3	that the Assignment includes provisions that: 

  

	 	(a)	the Buyer will not (without the previous consent in writing of the Security Agent (and then only subject to such conditions as the Security Agent may impose)) (i) agree to any material variation of the Contract or
any substantial variation of the specification of the Ship or (ii) either exercise or fail to exercise any right which the Buyer may have to reject the Ship or cancel or rescind or otherwise terminate the Contract; and 

 

	 	(b)	the Buyer shall remain liable to perform all its obligations under the Contract and the Security Agent shall be under no obligation of any kind in respect thereof. 

The Security Agent has agreed that, until such time as the Security Agent may give notice to the contrary, the Buyer or any representative appointed by the
Buyer pursuant to Article [IV.2] of the Contract may continue to superintend the building of the Ship. On such notice being given the Security Agent may (inter alia) exercise such right to superintend. This letter does not of course affect

Agent. 
 The authority and instructions contained in this letter cannot be revoked or varied without the Security Agent’s consent.
