	3.1.2	by deleting clause 8.16 of the Principal Agreement in its entirety and by inserting in its place the following new clause 8.16:

		"8.16	Deferral option

		8.16.1	Subject to the other provisions of this Clause 8.16, the Borrower may, at any time during the Security Period, elect to defer the repayment of any one or all of each of the fifteenth to the twentieth (inclusive) repayment instalments (referred to in Clause 8.1), as follows:

3

		(b)	an amount of up to $240,250 in respect of each one of the sixteenth to the twentieth (inclusive) repayment instalments.

		8.16.2	A repayment instalment which has been deferred pursuant to this Clause 8.16, shall be repaid together with the balloon payment (referred to in Clause 8.1).

		8.16.3	The deferral option for each repayment instalment shall be exercisable by a written irrevocable notice from the Borrower to the Agent (a "Deferral Notice"), specifying the relevant repayment instalment which is to be deferred, and the Borrower shall send such Deferral Notice to the Agent not later than ten (10) days prior to the Repayment Date on which the repayment instalment to be deferred would, but for such proposed deferral, have been due.

		8.16.4	The Borrower may not exercise its option referred to in Clause 8.16.1 or send a Deferral Notice if the Borrower has failed to provide the evidence and documents set out in Clause 5.3.2 of the Seventh Supplemental Agreement within the time limits specified therein. If notwithstanding the above, the Borrower has exercised its option referred to in Clause 8.16.1 or sent a Deferral Notice prior to the deadlines specified in Clause 5.3.2 of the Seventh Supplemental Agreement and it subsequently fails to provide the evidence and documents required under such clause within the time limits specified therein (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall constitute an Event of Default), then any repayment instalments so deferred at that time:

		(a)	if their original Repayment Date has already passed, shall be due and payable in full by the Borrower on demand by the Agent; or

		(b)	if their original Repayment Date had not yet passed, shall be payable on their original Repayment Dates as if no deferral option had  been exercised or no Deferral Notice has been sent by the Borrower to the Agent under this Clause 8.16.";

	3.1.3	by inserting the following new sub-paragraph (g) before the existing sub-paragraph (g) of clause 12.9 of the Principal Agreement and by renumbering existing sub-paragraph (g) of the Principal Agreement accordingly as new sub-paragraph (h):

	3.1.4	by deleting clause 12.10 of the Principal Agreement in its entirety and by replacing it with the following new clause 12.10:

		"12.10	Minimum blocked balances. The Borrower shall maintain at all times in the Cash Collateral Account, cash balances which are no less than $750,000 per Ship which is subject to a Mortgage Provided however that the Borrower may withdraw moneys from the Cash Collateral Account only for the following purposes and subject to the following conditions (and up to the entire amount of the available balance of such account from time to time):

		(a)	to repay any part of any or all the sixteenth to the twentieth instalments (inclusive) of the Loan in accordance with Clause 8.1 Provided however that the evidence set out in Clause 5.3.2 of the Seventh Supplemental Agreement has been delivered to the Agent within the time-limit specified therein; and/or

		(b)	as to an amount of no more than $480,500, solely to finance working capital needs of the Ships which are subject to a Mortgage."; and

4

	3.1.5	by inserting after the words "or 5.3.5 of the Fifth Supplemental Agreement" in the second line of sub-paragraph (b) of clause 19.1 of the Principal Agreement the words "or Clause 5.3.2 of the Seventh Supplemental Agreement".
