     REPAYMENT AND
PREPAYMENT

    

    7.1           The
Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally covenants and agrees to repay the
Loan to the Bank in freely transferable Dollars by twenty (20) consecutive equal
quarterly principal instalments of United States Dollars two hundred fifty thousand (USD 250,000) each plus a balloon
payment of United States Dollars five million (USD 5,000,000) to be payable
together the twentieth (20th) instalment at final maturity.

    The
time, the amount and the balance of the Loan following the payment of each such
instalment are specified for convenience purposes in Schedule IV. In case the
Bank shall advance a sum of less than United States Dollars ten million (USD
10,000,000) the Repayment Instalments will be reduced accordingly pro-rata. Each
such instalment together with interest as hereinafter set forth shall be
correspondingly payable on each of the Repayment Dates. The first Repayment Date
shall be the day falling three (3) months after the Drawdown Date of the
Commitment and each of the subsequent Repayment Dates shall fall at consecutive
intervals of three (3) months thereafter.

    The
Final Repayment Date of the Loan shall be the day falling 60 months after the
Drawdown Date of the Commitment and it must coincide with the last day of the
final Interest Period to be adjusted accordingly.

              7.2.1

            	
              The
      Borrower may prepay part or all of the Loan at any Interest Payment Date
      relating to the whole of the Loan provided that it will have given a ten
      (10) days prior written notice to the Bank, specifying the amount to be
      prepaid on such date.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              7.2.2

            	
              The
      Borrower may also at any other time prepay the Loan or a part thereof upon
      ten (10) days prior written notice provided that it will also prepay all
      sums that the Bank shall determine to be its loss and cost sustained
      because of the prepayment within an Interest Period or Periods including
      but not limited to payment of interest Break Costs (if any) and of such
      additional amounts (if any) to compensate the Bank for the cost of
      redeploying funds as a result of such prepayment as well as any loss of
      Interest  up to the end of the then current Interest Period or
      Periods in respect of the whole amount of the Loan
    outstanding

              Conditions

            

    

    

    All
prepayments shall be conditional to the prior fulfillment of the following
prerequisites:

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              7.3.1

            	
              The
      interest accrued on the Loan to the date of prepayment and any other
      additional sums due hereunder and/or under any of the other Security
      Documents will be paid to the Bank.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              7.3.2

            	
              Every
      notice of prepayment shall be effective on actual receipt by the Bank,
      shall be irrevocable, shall oblige the Borrower to make such prepayment on
      the date specified and shall specify the amount to be prepaid, which shall
      be not less than United States Dollar five hundred thousand (USD 500,000)
      or a higher integral multiple therof. Any amount so prepaid may not be
      re-borrowed under this Agreement.

              7.3.3

            	
              Any
      prepayment of less than the whole of the Loan will be applied by the Bank
      towards repayment of the Repayment Instalments in inverse order of
      maturity or any other way determined by the Bank at its
      discretion.

              Compulsory
      Prepayment

            

    

    

    Unless
the Bank agrees to accept substitute security in form and substance satisfactory
to the Bank, in line with Clauses 13.5.2 and 13.5.3 hereof, the Borrower shall,
within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Vessel becoming a Total Loss or such
other later day as may be agreed in writing by the Bank, or upon the Vessel
being sold, prepay the Loan together with accrued interest to the date of
prepayment and all other sums payable by the Borrower to the Bank pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Security Documents (and if the Commitment or any
portion thereof has not been drawn yet, it shall be reduced to
zero).

    

    7.5         Unwinding of Designated
Transactions.  On or prior to any repayment or prepayment under
this Clause 7 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall
either:

    (a)           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 does not and will not in
the future (taking into account the scheduled amortisation) exceed the amount of
the Loan as reducing from time to time thereafter pursuant to Clause 7.1;
or

    (b)           provide
the Bank with additional security in all respects acceptable to the Bank to
secure the amount determined by the Bank to be equal to the difference between
the notional principal amount of the continuing Designated Transactions and the
amount of the Loan as reducing from time to time thereafter pursuant to Clause
7.1

    Provided that in the case of a
prepayment made pursuant to the sale of the Vessel, the Borrower may only carry
out any of the matters referred to in this Clause 7.5 after (and not on or prior
to) the prepayment is made due to the sale of the Vessel.

              Interest
      Rate

            

    

    

    The
Borrower shall pay, on each Interest Payment Date, interest on the Loan (or as
the case may be on each part thereof to which a different Interest Period
relates) at the rate applicable in respect of each Interest Period. Interest
shall accrue on the Loan (or as the case may be on each portion thereof to which
a different Interest Period relates) during each Interest Period from and
including the first day of that Interest Period, to but excluding the last day
thereof. The rate of the interest shall be the rate per annum determined by the
Bank to be the aggregate of (a) the Margin and (b) the LIBOR unless there is an
Agreed Rate in which case the rate for the calculation of interest shall be the
rate per annum determined by the Bank to be the aggregate of:  (a) the
Margin and (b) the Agreed Rate.

    The
Borrower may by written notice to be received by the Bank not later than 10 a.m.
on the second Banking Day before the beginning of each Interest Period specify
whether such next Interest Period shall have a duration of one (1), three (3) or
six (6) months or other period subject to the availability which shall be
determined solely by the Bank.

    

    

    
      	
              8.3.

            	
              Determination
      of Interest Periods

            

    

    

    Every
Interest Period shall be of the duration specified by the Borrower pursuant to
Clause 8.2. but so that:

    

    
      	
              (a)  

            	
              the
      first Interest Period shall commence on the Drawdown Date of the
      Commitment and each subsequent Interest Period in respect thereof shall
      commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period in
      question

            

    

    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              if
      the last Interest Period would overrun the last Repayment Date, such
      Interest Period shall end on such Repayment Date. Should an Interest
      Period determined in accordance with the provisions of this Clause overrun
      one or more Repayment Dates, so many additional Interest Periods will be
      specified as the number of the Repayment Dates being overrun by the above
      Interest Period.  Each of such additional Interest Periods will
      be of a duration ending at the corresponding Repayment Date and for an
      amount equal to the instalment due on such Date, while the above
      overrunning Interest Period shall be for the remaining balance of the Loan
      after the deduction of the amount(s) of the additional Interest Period(s)
      ending on the Repayment Date(s) falling within the said over-running
      Interest Period.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (d)

            	
              if
      the Borrower fails to specify the duration of an Interest Period in
      accordance with the provisions of Clause 8.2. and this Clause 8.3 such
      Interest Period shall have a duration of three months or such other period
      as shall comply with this Clause
8.3.;

            

    

    

    
      	
              (e)

            	
              if
      the Bank determines that the duration of an Interest Period specified by
      the Borrower in accordance with Clause 8.2. is not readily available, then
      that Interest Period shall have such duration as the Bank after having
      consulted with the Borrower may
determine.

            

    

    

    
      	
              8.4.

            	
              Default
      Rate.

            

    

    

    If the
Borrower fails to pay any sum (including, without limitation, any sum payable
pursuant to this clause 8.4.) on its due date for payment under any of the
Security Documents, the Borrower shall pay interest on such sum (Default Rate)
from the due date up to the date of actual payment (as well after as before
judgment) at a rate determined by the Bank to be the aggregate of (a) two per
cent (2%) per annum, (b) the Margin and (c) the LIBOR for periods of not more
than three (3) Month duration as selected by the Bank. The first of the above
periods shall commence on the due date for payment, while each one of the
subsequent periods shall commence on the last day of the preceding such period.
Such interest shall be compounded and shall be due and payable on  the last
day  of each  such period as determined by the Bank and each such

    day
shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be treated as an Interest Payment
Date. If, for the reasons specified in Clause 8.6.(a), the Bank is unable to
determine a rate in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause,
interest on any sum not paid on its due date for payment shall be calculated at
a rate determined by the Bank to be two per cent (2%) per annum above the
aggregate of the Margin and the cost of funds to the Bank.

    

    
      	
              8.5.

            	
              Notification

            

    

    

    The
Bank shall notify the Borrower of the duration of each Interest Period and of
each rate of interest determined by it under this Clause 8.

    

    
      	
              8.6.

              (a)

            	
              If
      and whenever, at any time prior to the commencement of any Interest
      Period, the Bank shall have determined any of the following facts (which
      determination shall be conclusive):

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (i)

            	
              that
      adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR during such
      Interest Period; or

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ii)

            	
              that
      deposits in Dollars are not available to the Bank in the London InterBank
      Market in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts or it is
      impracticable for the Bank to fund or to continue to fund the Loan in
      Dollars.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (iii)

            	
              that
      LIBOR for that Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost of
      funding the Loan for that Interest
Period.

            

    

    

    the
Bank shall forthwith give notice (a "Determination Notice") thereof to the
Borrower.  A Determination Notice shall contain particulars of the
relevant circumstances giving rise to this issue. After the giving of any
Determination Notice the undrawn amount of the Loan shall not be borrowed until
notice to the contrary is given to the Borrower by the Bank.

    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              During
      the period of 30 Banking Days after any Determination Notice has been
      given by the Bank under Clause 8.6.(a), the Bank shall certify an
      alternative basis (the "Substitute Basis") for maintaining the Loan. The
      Substitute Basis may (without limitation) include alternative interest
      periods, alternative currencies or alternative rates of interest but shall
      include a margin above the cost of funds to the Bank equivalent to the
      Margin.  Each Substitute Basis so certified shall be binding
      upon the Borrower and shall take effect in accordance with its terms from
      the date specified in the Determination Notice until such time as the Bank
      notifies the Borrower that none of the circumstances specified in
      Sub-clause 8.6.(a) continues to exist whereupon the normal interest rate
      fixing provisions of the Agreement shall
apply.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              In
      any event, during the thirty (30) days following the giving of a
      Determination Notice, the Borrower and the Bank  shall negotiate
      in good faith in order to arrive at the Substitute Basis for the Bank to
      fund or continue to fund the Loan (or the relevant part thereof) during
      such Interest Period.  If within such thirty (30) day period the
      Substitute Basis to fund or to continue to fund the Loan (or the relevant
      part thereof) is agreed upon, then such Substitute Basis shall take effect
      in accordance with its terms. If the Borrower and the Bank fails to agree
      on such Substitute Basis within such thirty (30) day period and such
      circumstances are continuing at the end of such thirty

    day period, then the Bank shall set a Substitute Basis as per Clause
8.6. (b). If the circumstance shall continue at the end of such interest period,
the procedure in this Clause 8.6 (c) shall be repeated. If the Borrower shall
not agree with such rate then the Borrower may give not less than fifteen (15)
Business Days irrevocable notice of prepayment to the Bank in which case the
commitment hereunder of the Bank shall thereupon be cancelled and, if the Loan
is outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay the Loan on the first Business Day
after such period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
obligations of the Bank shall thereupon terminate.

              9.1

            	
              Purpose  The
      Bank and the Borrower have entered, and/or may during the Facility Period
      enter, into one or more Transactions pursuant to a Master Swap Agreement,
      the terms and conditions of each of which are or will be specified in a
      Confirmation sent by the Bank to the
Borrower.

            

    

    

    
      	
              9.2

            	
              Additional Termination
      Event  If the Loan is for any reason not advanced to the
      Borrower on or before the Latest Permissible Drawdown Date, and the Bank
      and the Borrower has entered into any Transactions on or before the Latest
      Permissible Drawdown Date, for the purposes of the Master Swap Agreement
      an Additional Termination Event (with the Bank as the Affected Party)
      shall be deemed to have occurred on the Latest Permissible Drawdown
      Date.

            

    

    

    
      	
              9.3

            	
              Adjustment of Notional
      Amounts  If the aggregate amount of the Loan actually
      advanced by the Bank to the Borrower is less than the Notional Amount (or
      the aggregate Notional Amounts) of the Transactions entered into on or
      before the Drawdown Date, the obligations of the Borrower in respect of
      those Transactions shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Bank, be
      calculated, so far as the Bank considers it practicable to do so, by
      reference to a Notional Amount (or aggregate Notional Amounts) equal to
      the amount of the Loan actually advanced, reduced on each Repayment Date
      by the amount of the Repayment Instalment due on that Repayment Date,
      adjusted if necessary in accordance with Clause
  7.1.

            

    

    

    
      	
              9.4

            	
              Effect of
      prepayment  If the Borrower, subject always to Clause 7,
      prepay part of the Loan (whether pursuant to Clause 7, Clause 13.5.2 or
      any other provision of this Agreement), and the amount of the Loan
      remaining outstanding after application of that prepayment is less than
      the Notional Amount (or the aggregate Notional Amounts) of the
      Transactions then in effect (reduced, if appropriate, in accordance with
      the Confirmations relating to those Transactions), the obligations of the
      Borrower in respect of those Transactions shall, unless otherwise agreed
      by the Bank, be calculated, so far as the Bank considers it practicable to
      do so, by reference to a Notional Amount (or aggregate Notional Amounts)
      equal to the amount of the Loan remaining outstanding after application of
      the prepayment in question, reduced on each Repayment Date by the
      Repayment Instalment due on that Repayment Date after taking into account
      the application of the prepayment.

              Authority  In
      order to give effect to Clauses 9.3 and 9.4, or in the event of voluntary
      or compulsory  prepayment by the Borrower of the whole of the
      Loan, the Borrower and the Bank will agree to amend, restructure, unwind,
      cancel, net out, terminate, liquidate, transfer or assign any of the
      rights and/or obligations created pursuant to the Master Swap Agreement in
      respect of those Transactions, and/or to enter into any other interest
      rate exchange and/or hedging transaction or commitment with the Borrower
      or with any other counterparty approved by the

              9.6

            	
              Termination of
      Transactions  If the exercise of the Bank's rights under
      Clause 9.5 results in the termination of any Transaction (save in the case
      termination takes place due to voluntary prepayment), that Transaction
      shall, for the purposes of the Master Swap Agreement (including, without
      limitation, section 6(e)(i) of the Master Swap Agreement) be treated as a
      Terminated Transaction resulting from an Event of Default by the
      Borrower.

            

    

    

    
      	
              9.7

            	
              Indemnity  The
      Borrower will indemnify the Bank from time to time on demand in respect of
      all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered, incurred or sustained
      by the Bank arising in any way in relation to the exercise by the Bank of
      its rights under this Clause, or arising in any way from any other
      termination, cancellation, unwinding or restructuring of any Transaction,
      together (in each case) with interest at the Default Rate from the date of
      the Bank's demand until the date on which the Bank receives payment or
      reimbursement, before or after any relevant
  judgment.

              Transaction under the Master
      Swap Agreement. The Borrower
      on the date hereof is signing the Master Swap Agreement with the Bank. At
      any time during the Facility Period the Borrower may request the Bank to
      conclude Transactions for the purpose of swapping its interest payment
      obligations under this Agreement.  Signature of the Master Swap
      Agreement does not commit the Bank to conclude Transactions, or even to
      offer terms for doing so, but does provide a contractual framework within
      which Transactions may be concluded and secured, assuming that the Bank is
      willing to conclude any Transactions at the relevant time and that, if
      that is the case, mutually acceptable terms can then be agreed at the
      relevant time.

              In
      relation to the Master Swap Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees and
      undertakes with the Bank throughout the Facility
  Period:-

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              9.8.1.1

            	
              at
      the Borrower's option to use Transactions concluded under the Master Swap
      Agreement for the purpose of (inter alia) swapping its interest payment
      obligations under Clause 8 from LIBOR-based funding to longer-term fixed
      rate funding;

            

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              9.8.1.2

            	
              at
      the Borrower's option to not to conclude Transactions which would result,
      at any time during the Facility Period, in the notional principal amount
      of all Transactions then remaining exceeding the amount of the Loan, as
      reduced from time to time under Clause
7.1.

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              9.8.2

            	
              The
      Borrower gives the Bank a right of first refusal in relation to any
      proposed swap or other Transactions relative to the Loan so that (subject
      only to the rates quoted by the Bank being competitive with other banks
      quoting on the same basis), any swap or other Transactions concluded by
      the Borrower shall be concluded with the Bank under the Master Swap
      Agreement.

              9.8.3

            	
              The
      Bank agrees that, to enable the Borrower to secure its obligations to the
      Bank under the Master Swap Agreement, the security of the Security
      Documents shall be held by the Bank not only to secure the Borrower's
      obligations under this Agreement but also the Borrower's obligations under
      the Master Swap Agreement.

              (a)

            	
              The
      Borrower acknowledges that in performing its obligations under this
      Agreement, the Bank will be incurring liabilities to third parties in
      relation to the funding of amounts to the Borrower, such liabilities
      matching the liabilities of the Borrower to the Bank and that it is
      reasonable for the Bank to be entitled to receive payments from the
      Borrower gross on the due date in order that the Bank is put in a position
      to perform its matching obligations to the relevant third parties.
      Accordingly, all payments to be made by the Borrower under any of the
      Security Documents shall be made in full, without any set-off or
      counterclaim whatsoever and free and clear of any deductions or
      withholdings, in Dollars on the due date (for value on the day on which
      payment is due) to the account of the Bank (with a direct tested telex
      advise to the Bank) or to such other account at such other bank in such
      place as the Bank may from time to time specify for this
      purpose.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              If
      at any time the Borrower is required to make any deduction or withholding
      in respect of Taxes or otherwise from any payment due under any of the
      Security Documents the sum due from the Borrower in respect of such
      payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that after
      the making of such deduction or withholding the Bank receives on the due
      date for such payment a net sum equal to the sum which it would have
      received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.
      The Borrower shall indemnify the Bank against any losses or costs incurred
      by the Bank by reason of any failure of the Borrower to make any such
      increased payment to the Bank on account of any deduction or withholding
      or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for
      such payment. The Borrower shall promptly forward to the Bank official
      receipts and any other proof evidencing the amounts paid or payable in
      respect of any deduction or withholding as aforesaid. The obligations of
      the Borrower under this provision shall remain in force notwithstanding
      the repayment of the Loan.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)

            	
              Payments
      by the Borrower shall be considered to be made as of the date on which the
      Bank receives correctly authenticated advice of the credit of such account
      provided that such advice is received at a time of day when the Bank is
      able in accordance with its usual practice to process and utilize such
      funds on such day, failing which such payment shall be considered to be
      made as of the next Banking Day following receipt of such
      advice.

      it is or becomes contrary to any law or regulation for the Bank to
      disburse the Loan or to maintain the Commitment or the Loan, or to fund

      Bank shall give notice to the Borrower whereupon (a) the Commitment shall
      be reduced to zero and (b) the Borrower shall be obliged to prepay the
      Loan on a future specified date not being later than the latest
      date

              If
      circumstances arise which would result in a Notification under Clause
      11.1. then, without in any way limiting the rights of the Bank under
      Clause 11.1., the Bank shall use reasonable endeavours to transfer each
      obligations, liabilities and rights under the Security Documents to
      another office or financial institution not affected by the
      circumstances.

    If, as
a result of (a) any change in or in the interpretation of any law, regulation
e.t.c. by any governmental authority in any country the laws of which are
applicable on the Bank, or  (b) compliance by the Bank with any
requirement of any authority (whether or not having the force of law) but which
the Bank usually complies with or  any other set of circumstances
including any type of liquidity, stock, or capital adequacy controls or other
Banking or monetary controls or requirements connected with the manner in which
the Bank allocates capital resources to its obligations hereunder:

              The

              The
      amount payable to the Bank or the effective return to the Bank under any
      of the Security Documents, is reduced;

              The
      basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of principal or of interest on
      any amounts advanced by it is
changed;

            

    

    

    then
the Borrower shall pay to the Bank on account of the Bank, from time to time,
upon demand, such additional moneys as shall indemnify the Bank for any
increased cost, reduction in principal or interest receivable or other foregone
return whatsoever.

    The
Bank will notify the Borrower in writing of any intention to claim
indemnification and such notification, made in line with the provision of Clause
6,  which  will be a conclusive  evidence binding on the Borrower
as to the  amount of any increased

reduction and the method of calculating the same. Such claim may be made at any
time and must be discharged by the Borrower within fifteen (15) days of
demand.  It shall not be a defence to a claim by the Bank hereunder
that any increased cost or reduction could have been avoided by the
Bank.  Any amount due from the Borrower hereunder shall be due as a
separate debt and shall not be affected by judgement being obtained for any
other sums due under or in respect of this Agreement or of any other Security
Document.

      refusal or neglect to perfect or enforce any right, remedies or securities

Bank under the Security Documents and the Master Swap Agreement (in respect of
Designated Transaction) other than those amounts referred to at (ii) and (iii)

default interest payable to the Bank under the Security Documents  and

retention of an amount equal to any amount not then due and payable under any
Security Document or the Master Swap Agreement (in respect of Designated
Transaction) but which the Bank, by notice to the Borrower and the Security

surplus shall be paid to the Borrower or to any other person appearing to be
entitled to it.

      account such other currencies as may be necessary to effect such
      application.  The Bank shall not be obliged to exercise any
      right given to it by this clause. The Bank shall notify the Borrower
      without delay upon the exercise or purported exercise of any right of
      set-off giving details in relation
thereto.

            

    

    

    
      	
              16.2.2  

            	
              The
      rights conferred on the Bank by this Clause shall be in addition to, and
      without prejudice to or limitation of, the rights of netting and set off
      conferred on the Bank by the Master Swap Agreement. The Borrower
      acknowledges that the Bank shall be under no obligation to make any
      payment to the Borrower under or pursuant to the Master Swap Agreement if,
      at the time that payment becomes due, there shall have occurred an Event
      of Default or Potential Event of Default, or an Event of Default or
      Termination Event (as those terms are respectively defined in the Master
      Swap Agreement).

              on
      or before the Drawdown Date open with the Bank the Operating
      Account;  and

            

    

    

    
      	
              (b)  

            	
              procure
      that all moneys payable to the Borrower in respect of the Earnings or
      other receivables regarding the Vessel shall, unless and until the Bank
      directs to the contrary be paid to the Operating Account free from
      Encumbrances (save for Encumbrances in favour of the
      Bank);  Provided however that if any moneys paid to the
      Operating Account are payable in a currency other than Dollars, the Bank
      shall convert such moneys into Dollars at the Bank  spot rate of
      exchange at the relevant time for the purchase of Dollars with such
      currency and the term "spot rate of exchange" shall include any premium
      and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of Dollars
      with such currency.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)  

            	
              The
      Operating Account shall bear interest at the rate quoted by the Bank to
      its customers for comparable deposits in Dollars and for such periods as
      the Bank may determine, such interest to be credited to the Operating
      Account at intervals the Bank usually pays interest on
      deposits.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (d)  

            	
              The
      Borrower hereby assigns to the Bank as a continuing security for the
      payment of the Indebtedness the Operating Account and all moneys from time
      to time standing to the credit thereof including any interest from time to
      time accrued and accruing thereon, such assignment to take effect
      immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of

    16.3.2.    Withdrawals.

    

    So long
as no Default shall have occurred the Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw
from the Operating Account any amount.  Provided however that if in
the opinion of the Bank there will be insufficient sums standing to the credit
of the Operating Account to meet principal falling due on the next Repayment
Date or interest due on the next Interest Payment Date or any other moneys which
are due and payable to the Bank, the Bank shall be entitled to refuse any
withdrawal from the Operating Account.

      all other moneys which may fall due to be paid to the Bank under the terms
      of the Security Documents or otherwise howsoever in connection with the

              (b)  

            	
              At
      any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank may,

      accruing or accrued thereon) in or towards satisfaction of any sums due to
      the Bank under the Security Documents in the manner specified in Clause

      monthly intervals thereafter (each such day being hereinafter called
      "Monthly Retention Date") such sum (each sum being hereinafter called
      "Monthly Retention Amount") as shall be the aggregate
  of:

            

    

    

    
      	
              i.  

            	
              the
      quotient of the Repayment Instalment amount from time to time falling due
      on the each time next Repayment Date divided by the number of the months
      intervening between the immediately previous and the such next Repayment
      Date, pursuant to Clause 7
  hereof;  and

              ii.

      Period.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (b)

            	
              The
      Bank is hereby irrevocably authorised by the Borrower to debit at every

  Account.

            

    

    

    
      	
              (c)  

            	
              In
      case that any Earnings paid to the Operating Account relate to a period of
      employment of the Vessel longer than one (1) Month, then upon receipt of

      so many Monthly Retention Amounts or part thereof as shall correspond to
      the longer period to which the said Earnings relate or any amount as may
      be determined by the Bank.

            

    

    

    
      	
              16.4.2.

      to time accruing or at any time accrued thereon shall be set off and
      applied by the Bank (and express and irrevocable authority is hereby given
      by the Borrower to the Bank so to set off and apply the same) upon each
      Repayment Date and upon each Interest Payment Date in or towards payment
      of the Repayment Instalment then falling due and/or (as the case may be)
      the amount of interest then due.  Each such set off and
      application by the Bank shall constitute a payment in or towards
      satisfaction of the corresponding payment obligations of the Borrower
      under this Agreement but shall be strictly without prejudice to the
      obligations of the Borrower to make any such payment to the extent that
      the aforesaid set off application by the Bank is insufficient to meet the
      same.

            

    

    

    
      	
              16.4.3.  

            	
              Any
      amount for the time being standing to the credit of the Retention Account
      shall bear interest at the rate quoted by the Bank to its customers for
      deposits in Dollars for such period as the Bank may determine and for an
      amount comparable with the amount for the time being standing to the
      credit of the Retention Account.

            

    

    

    
      	
              16.4.4.  

            	
              Upon
      the occurrence of an Event of Default or at any time thereafter the Bank
      will set off and apply all sums standing to the credit of the Retention
      Account including accrued interest (if any) in the manner specified in

payment by any of the Security Parties under any of the Security Documents is
made or falls to be satisfied in a currency (the "payment currency") other than

Security Documents (the "contractual currency"), then, to the extent that the
amount of such payment actually received by the Bank, when converted into the
