6.             Limited Effect.  Except as expressly provided hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect.

This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

7.             GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

	3	INTEREST AND INTEREST PERIODS 

  

	3.1	Normal interest rate 

 The Borrowers agree to pay interest on the Loan or part thereof 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 three (3) months from the commencement of the Interest Period and

any) for that Interest Period.

	3.3.1	the first Interest Period starts on the Drawdown Date and each subsequent Interest Period shall start on the last day of the previous Interest Period;

shall be divided into parts so that there is one part in the amount of the repayment instalment due on each Repayment Date falling in that Interest Period and having an Interest Period ending on the relevant Repayment Date and another part
consisting of the balance of the Loan having an Interest Period ascertained in accordance with the other provisions of this clause 3; and

this clause 3.3. 

  
 20 

	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 must 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 Bank under this clause 3.4. The period starting 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 Bank each of which
(other than the first, which shall start on such due date) shall start 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 Bank) of (a) two per cent (2%)
per annum, (b) the Margin, (c) LIBOR and (d) Mandatory Costs (if any) for such periods. Such interest shall be due and payable on demand, or, if no demand is made, then on the last day of each such period as determined by the Bank and
on the day on which all amounts in respect of which interest is being paid under this Clause are paid, 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 Bank under clause 10.2 or a prepayment pursuant to clauses 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 8.2 or 12.1, on a date other than an Interest Payment Date relating thereto, the first such period
selected by the Bank 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 Bank is unable to determine a rate in accordance with the provisions of this clause 3.4, 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 compounded at such intervals as the Bank selects.

	(b)	that deposits in USD are not available to the Bank in the London Interbank Market in its ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to fund the Loan for such Interest Period; 

the Bank shall promptly give notice (a “Determination Notice”) thereof to the Borrowers. A Determination Notice shall contain
particulars of the relevant circumstances giving rise to its issue. After the giving of any Determination Notice, regardless of any other provision of this Agreement, any undrawn amount of the Commitment may not be borrowed until notice to the
contrary is given to the Borrowers by the Bank; 
  

	3.6.2	 within ten (10) days of any Determination Notice being given by the Bank under clause 3.6.1, the Bank must
certify an alternative basis (the “Substitute Basis”) for maintaining its Commitment or the Loan (as the case may be). The Substitute Basis may at the Bank’s sole

  
 21 

	 	
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 the Bank. 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 Bank 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 again apply and, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Commitment may again be borrowed,
Provided that the Banks shall try to ensure that any loss suffered by the Borrower as a result of the circumstances referred to above are kept to a minimum. If the Borrowers do not agree with any Substitute Basis certified by the Bank and if there

	14.2.3	thirdly, subject to no Event of Default having occurred, in the operation of the Vessels; and 

  

	14.2.4	fourthly, subject to (i) there being at any time sufficient funds to pay amounts due under 14.2.1 to 14.2.3 above as they fall due, (ii) clause 8.1.17(d) and clause 14.1.2 being complied with and (ii) no
Event of Default having occurred, for the general corporate purposes of the Borrowers. 

 At any time after the occurrence of
an Event of Default, the Bank may, without notice to the Borrowers, apply all moneys then standing to the credit of the Earnings (together with interest from time to time 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 13.1. 
  

	14.3	Monthly retentions 

 The Borrowers undertake with the Bank that, throughout the Facility

calendar month:

	 	(b)	the applicable fraction of the aggregate amount of interest which is payable on the next due date for payment of interest for the Loan under this Agreement.

then current Interest Period (or, if the current Interest Period ends after the next date for payment of interest under this Agreement, the number of months from the later of the commencement of the current Interest Period or the last due date for
payment of interest to the next date for payment of interest under this Agreement).

 If the aggregate Earnings received in the Earnings Accounts are
insufficient in any month for the required amount to be transferred to the Retention Account under clause 14.3, the Borrowers shall on demand from the Bank make up the amount of the insufficiency by payment in Dollars to the Retention Account; but,
without thereby prejudicing the Bank’s right to make such demand at any time, the Bank may permit the Borrowers to make up all or part of the insufficiency by increasing the amount of any transfer under clause 14.3 from the Earnings received in
the next or the subsequent months. 
  

	14.5	Location of Accounts 

 The Borrowers shall promptly : 

 

	 	(a)	comply with any requirement of the Bank as to the location or re location of the Accounts; and
