Dear Sirs

Loan Facility of US$67,500,000 to Larvotto Shipholding Limited

We refer to the loan agreement dated 29 August 2008 (as amended) (the "Loan Agreement") made between (i) Larvotto Shipholding Limited as Borrower, (ii) the banks and financial institutions listed in Schedule 1 to the Loan Agreement as Lenders, (iii) BNP Paribas S.A. as Lead Arranger and (iv) BNP Paribas S.A. as Agent and Security Trustee.

Word and expressions defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same meanings when used herein.

	1	
The Borrower has requested the consent of the Lenders to certain matters including:

	(a)	
the transfer by Bretta Tankers as shareholder of fifty per cent. of the legal title and beneficial ownership of the share capital of the Borrower (the "Bretta Shares") to Euronav Hong Kong Limited; and

	(b)	
the release of Guarantor A and the Counter Guarantor from their Guarantees.

	2	
Subject to the terms and conditions of this letter, the Lenders confirm their agreement to the Borrower's requests in paragraph 1 subject to fulfilment of the conditions set out in paragraph 6 below on or prior to 15 June 2016 (or such later date as the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) may agree with the Borrower) and to the Borrower's compliance with paragraph 7, and, subject to satisfaction of such conditions, the changes shall take effect from the date the said conditions are satisfied (the "Effective Date").

	3	
With effect from the Effective Date the Loan Agreement shall be amended as follows:

 

	(a)	
by deleting the definitions of "Guarantee A", "Guarantor A", "Counter Guarantee" and "Counter Guarantor" in clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Loan Agreement and all references thereto throughout the Loan Agreement and, with effect from the Effective Date, Guarantor A and the Counter Guarantor shall be released from their obligations under their Guarantees:

	(b)	
by construing the definition of "Guarantee" as referring to "Guarantee B";

	(c)	
by construing the definition of "Guarantors" as referring to "Guarantor B";

	(d)	
by deleting the definition of "Security Party" in clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Loan Agreement and replacing it with the following new definition:

"Security Party"  means the Guarantor, the Shareholder and any person other than the Borrower (except a Creditor Party) who, as a surety or mortgagor, as a party to any subordination or priorities arrangement, or in any similar capacity, executes a document falling within the last paragraph of the definition of "Finance Documents";"

	(e)	
by deleting the definition of "Shareholder" in clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Loan Agreement and replacing it with the following new definition:

	(f)	
by deleting the definition of "Business Day" in clause 1.1 (Definitions) of the Loan Agreement and replacing it with the following new definition:

"Business Day" means a day on which banks are open in London, Brussels, Dublin, Paris and, in respect of a day on which a payment is required to be made under a Finance Document, also in New York City;

	(g)	
by construing clause 10.3 (Share capital and ownership) of the Loan Agreement so as to refer to the two shares being held free of any Security Interest by Euronav Hong Kong and no shares being held by Bretta Tankers;

	4	
With effect from the Effective Date the Guarantee of Euronav NV as Guarantor B shall be amended as follows:

		(i)	
by deleting clause 2.1 (Guarantee and Indemnity) of the Guarantee and replacing it with the following new clause 2.1:

"2.1          Guarantee and Indemnity.

The Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably:

		(a)	
guarantees to the Creditor Parties the due payment on demand of the Guaranteed Obligations;

		(b)	
undertakes to pay to the Security Trustee, on the Security Trustee's demand, any such amount which is not paid by the Borrower when payable; and

		(c)	
as principal obligor and as a separate independent obligation and liability from its obligations and liabilities under clauses (a) and (b) agrees to fully indemnify and keep indemnified the Security Trustee and each other Creditor Party on the Security Trustee's demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are made or brought against or incurred by the Security Trustee or the other Creditor Party arising out of or in connection with any failure of the

2

Borrower to perform or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligation or liability guaranteed by the Guarantor being or becoming unenforceable, invalid, void or illegal; and the amount recoverable under this indemnity shall be equal to the amount which the Security Trustee or the other Creditor Party would otherwise have been entitled to recover."

		(ii)	
by deleting clauses 2.3 (Limitation of Liability) and 2.4 (Guarantee of whole amount) of the Guarantee;

		(iii)	
by deleting clause 3.1 (Principal and Independent Debtor) of the Guarantee and replacing it with the following new clause 3.1:

"3.1          Principal and independent debtor.

The Guarantor shall be liable under this Guarantee as a principal and independent debtor and accordingly it shall not have, as regards this Guarantee, any of the rights or defences of a surety."

		(iv)	
by deleting the words "Subject always to the 50 per cent. limitation referred to in Clause 2.3" from clause 4.1 (Costs of preservation of rights, enforcement etc.);

		(v)	
by amending the references to 50 per cent. in clause 11.13 (Maintenance of ownership of Borrower) to refer to 100 per cent.;

		(vi)	
by deleting the words "Subject always to the 50 per cent. limitation referred to in Clause 2.3" from clause 12.1 (Judgments relating to Loan Agreement); and

	5
