6.4 Mandatory Prepayment

6.4.2 In the event of a sale or disposal of a Vessel (or of the shares in a Vessel Owner owning a Vessel) or the Agent having received not less than 5 Business Days’ notice from the Borrower requesting that the Assignment relating to a Vessel, be released and discharged (a “Released Vessel”), a mandatory prepayment shall be made of the Attributable Amount applicable to that Vessel provided and to the extent applicable mandatory law permits the relevant Vessel Owner to pay dividends, make laws or otherwise make distributions to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Attributable Amount. Such prepayment shall be made on the date of a sale or disposal of such Vessel and in the case of a Released Vessel on the date proposed by the Borrower for release and discharge of the Assignment relating to that Vessel.

Any such prepayment shall oblige the Borrower to make payment of all interest accrued on the amount so prepaid up to and including the date of prepayment together with any Break Costs in respect of such prepayment if the date of such prepayment is not the final day of an Interest Period.

24

6.4.3 In the event that any Vessel becomes a Total Loss, on the earlier to occur of (a) the date of receipt of the proceeds of the Total Loss and (b) the date falling one hundred and eighty (180) days after the occurrence of the Total Loss, a mandatory prepayment shall, be made of the Attributable Amount in respect of such Vessel, provided and to the extent applicable mandatory law permits the relevant Vessel Owner to pay dividends, make loans or otherwise make distributions to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Attributable Amount.

6.4.4 In the event that

(i) the Charter on any of the Vessels (other than “MAERSK MAGELLAN” or “MAERSK METHANE”) is cancelled prior to its expiry date; and

(ii) within one hundred and twenty days of such cancellation, the relevant Vessel Owner has not entered into a replacement charter for such Vessel with an Approved Charterer on terms reasonably acceptable to the Majority Lenders,

a mandatory prepayment shall, subject to applicable mandatory law, be made of the Attributable Amount in respect of such Vessel. Any such prepayment shall oblige the Borrower to make payment of all interest accrued on the amount so prepaid up to and including the date of prepayment together with any Break Costs in respect of such prepayment if the date of such prepayment is not the final day of an Interest Period.

6.4.5 Simultaneously with each prepayment in accordance with Clause 6.4.1, Clause 6.4.2, Clause 6.4.3 or Clause 6.4.5 (as the case may be), the Commitment of each Lender will reduce so that the Commitments of the Lenders in respect of the amended Maximum Amount remain in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares.

6.5 Any prepayment made in accordance with Clause 6.2 or Clause 6.4 shall be applied, subject to applicable mandatory law on financial assistance, first, to satisfy the Borrower’s obligations to repay Tranche B and, second, to satisfy the Borrower’s obligations to repay Tranche A.

7.1 Interest Periods The period during which the Loan shall be outstanding under this Agreement shall be divided into consecutive Interest Periods of one, three or six months’ duration, as selected by the Borrower by a Selection Notice to the Agent not later than 11.00am on the third Business Day before the beginning of the Interest Period in question, or such other duration as may be agreed by the Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders).

For the avoidance of doubt, the selection of the Interest Period for the initial drawdown shall be made in the Drawdown Notice.

7.2 Beginning and end of Interest Periods The first Interest Period in respect of the Loan shall begin on the Drawdown Date and shall end on the last day of the Interest Period selected in accordance with Clause 7.1. Any subsequent Interest Period selected in respect of the Loan shall commence on the last day of its previous Interest Period and shall end on the last day of its current Interest Period selected in accordance with Clause 7.1.

7.3 Interest Periods to meet Maturity Date If an Interest Period for the Loan would otherwise expire after the Maturity Date, the Interest Period for the Loan shall expire on the Maturity Date.

7.4 Non-Business Days If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

7.5 Interest rate During each Interest Period interest shall accrue on the Loan at the rate determined by the Agent to be the aggregate of (a) the Margin, (b) LIBOR and (c) the Mandatory Cost, if applicable.

7.6 Failure to select Interest Period If the Borrower at any time fails to select or agree an Interest Period in accordance with Clause 7.1, the interest period applicable shall be three (3) months.

26

7.7 Accrual and payment of interest Interest shall accrue from day to day, shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, for the avoidance of doubt, the first day of Interest Period is inclusive and the last day is exclusive (or, in any circumstance where market practice differs, in accordance with the prevailing market practice) and shall be paid by the Borrower to the Agent for the account of the Lenders on the last day of each Interest Period.

7.8 Default interest If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date, subject to any applicable grace period, up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is one point five per cent (1.5%) higher than the rate which would have been payable. Any interest accruing under this Clause 7.8 shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Agent. If unpaid, any such interest will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

7.9 Changes in market circumstances If at any time a Market Disruption Event occurs:

7.9.1 the Agent shall give notice to the Lenders and the Borrower of the occurrence of a Market Disruption Event; and

7.9.2 the rate of interest on each Lender’s Commitment in the Loan for that Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of:

(a) the Margin; and

(b) the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its Commitment in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select; and

(c) the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s Commitment,

27

PROVIDED THAT if the resulting rate of interest on any Commitment is not acceptable to the Borrower:

7.9.3 the Agent on behalf of the Lenders will negotiate with the Borrower in good faith with a view to modifying this Agreement to provide a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest which is financially a substantial equivalent to the basis provided for in this Agreement;

7.9.4 any substitute basis agreed pursuant to Clause 7.9.3 shall be binding on all the parties to this Agreement and shall apply to all Commitments in the Loan; and

7.9.5 if, within thirty (30) days of the giving of the notice referred to in Clause 7.9.1, the Borrower and the Agent fail to agree in writing on a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest in respect of the Loan, the relevant Lender shall cease to be obliged to advance its Proportionate Share of the Loan, but, if it has already been advanced, the Borrower will prepay that Proportionate Share of the Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period, and the Loan shall be reduced by the amount of that Lender’s Proportionate Share.

For the purposes of this Clause 7.9, a “Market Disruption Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) LIBOR is not available, or (b) the Agent receives notification at any time from a Lender or Lenders whose aggregate Commitment(s) exceed 50% (exclusive) of the then outstanding Loan that the cost to it or them of obtaining matching deposits in the London interbank market would be in excess of LIBOR.

7.10 Determinations conclusive The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the determination of a rate of interest under this Clause 7 and each such determination shall (save in the case of manifest error) be final and conclusive.

The Recipient will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT.

(c) Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d) Any reference in this Clause 8.12 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994).

The accrued commitment fee is payable on the last day of each successive period of three months from the Execution Date and on the Final Availability Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any commitment fee payable under this clause 9.1 shall be calculated on the total commitments up until the Drawdown Date and on the undrawn and uncancelled commitments thereafter. The commitment fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

15.17  Rescission of Excess Amount If all or any part of any Excess Amount is rescinded or must otherwise be restored to any Security Party or to any other third party, the Lenders which have received any part of that Excess Amount by way of distribution from the Agent pursuant to Clause 15.16 shall repay to the Agent for the account of the Lender which originally received or recovered the Excess Amount, the amount which shall be necessary to ensure that the Lenders share rateably in accordance with their Proportionate Shares in the amount of the receipt or payment retained, together with interest on that amount at a rate equivalent to that (if any) paid by the Lender receiving or recovering the Excess Amount to the person to whom that Lender is liable to make payment in respect of such amount, and Clause 15.16.3 shall apply only to the retained amount.

If a Lender does not provide the Agent with instructions within that period, that Lender shall be bound by the decision of the Agent. Nothing in this Clause 15.18 shall limit the right of the Agent to take, or refrain from taking, any action without obtaining the instructions of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders if the Agent in its discretion considers it necessary or appropriate to take, or refrain from taking, such action in order to preserve the rights of the Lenders under or in connection with the Finance Documents. In that event, the Agent will notify the Lenders of the action taken by it as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Lenders agree to ratify any action taken by the Agent pursuant to this Clause 15.18.

15.19  Payments All amounts payable to a Lender under this Clause 15 shall be paid to such account at such bank as that Lender may from time to time direct in writing to the Agent.

15.21  Resignation Subject to a successor being appointed in accordance with this Clause 15.21, the Agent may resign at any time without assigning any reason by giving to the Borrower and the Lenders notice of its intention to do so, in which event the following shall apply:

15.21.1 with the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld (but such consent not to be required at any time after an Event of Default which is continuing unremedied or unwaived) the Lenders may within thirty (30) days after the date of the notice from the Agent appoint a successor to act as agent or, if they fail to do so with the consent of the Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld (but such consent not to be required at any time after an Event of Default which is continuing unremedied or unwaived), the Agent may appoint any other bank or financial institution as its successor;

15.21.2 the resignation of the Agent shall take effect simultaneously with the appointment of its successor on written notice of that appointment being given to the Borrower and the Lenders;

71

15.21.3 the Agent shall thereupon be discharged from all further obligations as agent but shall remain entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this Clause 15;

15.21.4 the successor of the Agent and each of the other parties to this Agreement shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if that successor had been a party to this Agreement; and

15.21.5 the successor of the Agent shall sign a deed of accession to adhere to the terms of the Deed of Coordination and Trust.

15.22  No fiduciary relationship Except as provided in Clauses 15.3 and 15.14, the Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with or be deemed to be a trustee of or for any other person and nothing contained in any Finance Document shall constitute a partnership between any two or more Lenders or between the Agent and any other person.

17 Payments

17.1 Payments Subject always to the terms of the Deed of Coordination and Trust, each amount payable by the Borrower under a Finance Document shall be paid to such account at such bank as the Agent may from time to time direct to the Borrower in the Currency of Account and in such funds as are customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment. Payment shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the date on which the Agent confirms the receipt of such funds. If the Agent in its reasonable discretion considers that it is impossible or impracticable for the Agent to utilise the amount received for value that same day, in which event the payment in question shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the Business Day next following the date of receipt of such funds by the Agent.

72

17.2 No deductions or withholdings Each payment (whether of principal or interest or otherwise) to be made by the Borrower under a Finance Document shall, subject only to Clause 17.3, be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any Taxes or other deductions, withholdings, restrictions, conditions or counterclaims of any nature.

17.3 Grossing-up If at any time any law requires (or is interpreted to require) the Borrower to make any deduction or withholding from any payment, or to change the rate or manner in which any required deduction or withholding is made, the Borrower will promptly notify the Agent and, simultaneously with making that payment, will pay to the Agent whatever additional amount (after taking into account any additional Taxes on, or deductions or withholdings from, or restrictions or conditions on, that additional amount) is necessary to ensure that, after making the deduction or withholding, the relevant Finance Parties receive a net sum equal to the sum which they would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.

17.4 Evidence of deductions If at any time the Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment to be made by it under a Finance Document, the Borrower will pay the amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant authority within the time allowed under the applicable law and will, no later than thirty (30) days after making that payment, deliver to the Agent an original receipt issued by the relevant authority, or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Agent, evidencing the payment to that authority of all amounts required to be deducted or withheld.

17.5 Rebate If the Borrower pays any additional amount under Clause 8.11 or Clause 17.3, and a Finance Party subsequently receives a refund or allowance from any tax authority which that Finance Party identifies as being referable to that increased amount so paid by the Borrower, that Finance Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, pay to the Borrower an amount equal to the amount of the refund or allowance received, if and to the extent that it may do so without prejudicing its right to retain that refund or allowance and without putting itself in any worse financial position than that in which it would have been had the relevant deduction or withholding not been required to have been made. Nothing in this Clause 17.5 shall be interpreted as imposing any obligation on any Finance Party to apply for any refund or allowance nor as restricting in any way the manner in which any Finance Party organises its tax affairs, nor as imposing on any Finance Party any obligation to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.

73

17.6 Adjustment of due dates If any payment or transfer of funds to be made under a Finance Document, other than a payment of interest on the Loan, shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, that payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (unless the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month in which event the payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day). Any such variation of time shall be taken into account in computing any interest in respect of that payment.

17.7 Control Account The Agent shall open and maintain on its books a control account in the name of the Borrower showing the advance of the Loan and the computation and payment of interest and all other sums due under this Agreement. The Borrower’s obligations to repay the Loan and to pay interest and all other sums due under this Agreement shall be evidenced by the entries from time to time made in the control account opened and maintained under this Clause 17.7 and those entries will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding.

SCHEDULE 4: Calculation of Mandatory Cost

1 The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate the Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

(a) On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

(b) The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from an office in the euro-zone will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in the Loan) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank as a result of participating in the Loan from that office.

(c) The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from an office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows:

F x 0.01 per cent per annum

300

where F is the charge payable by that Lender to the Financial Services Authority under paragraph 2.02 or 2.03 (as appropriate) of the Fees Regulations or the equivalent provisions in any replacement regulations (with, for this purpose, the figure for the minimum amount in paragraph 2.02b or such equivalent provision deemed to be zero), expressed in pounds per £1 million of the fee base of that Lender.

2 For the purpose of this Schedule:

(a) “eligible liabilities” and “special deposits” have the meanings given to them at the time of application of the formula by the Bank of England;

(b) “fee base” has the meaning given to it in the Fees Regulations;

92

(c) “Fees Regulations” means the regulations governing periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits.

3 If a Lender does not supply the information required by the Agent to determine its Additional Cost Rate when requested to do so, the applicable Mandatory Cost shall be determined on the basis of the information supplied by the remaining Lenders.

4 If a change in circumstances has rendered, or will render, the formula inappropriate, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of the manner in which the Mandatory Cost will subsequently be calculated. The manner of calculation so notified by the Agent shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding on the Borrower.
