security documents, the Vessel’s operating costs and expenses including the Management Fee and the Commercial Management Fee, in each case, to the extent due and payable, shall be transferred by monthly transfers from the Earnings Account to an
Operating Account held in the name of the Managers as account-holders. In addition, the Managers will also be able to pay the Vessel’s / Owners’ trading liabilities from the Earnings Account directly. The Managers will use the amounts from

liquidity Owners will give appropriate instructions to the Managers regarding transfer of these amounts from the Earnings Account. A Drydocking Reserve Account in the name of the Owners as account-holders shall be also maintained within the ( as the
case may be mortgagee ) bank and relevant funds will be transferred into this Drydocking Reserve Account from the Earnings Account by monthly transfers arranged by the Managers. The purpose of the Drydocking Reserve Account shall be to maintain
separate financial provision for the budgeted and/or expected cost of the Vessel’s routine drydockings, special surveys and intermediate surveys.

accounts exceeds USD 300,000 as of the date of termination or any date thereafter, the Owners may give appropriate instructions to the Managers regarding transfer of such excess amount from the Earnings Account or and Drydocking Reserve Account;

allocating the costs of the arbitration as between the parties. 

  

	 	(v)	 The mediation shall not affect the right of either party to seek such relief or take such steps as it considers necessary to protect its interest.

  

	 	(vi)	 Either party may advise the Tribunal that they have agreed to mediation. The arbitration procedure shall continue during the conduct of the mediation but the
