to such account in such bank (the "Prepositioning Bank") as the relevant Borrower may have agreed with the Agent in advance of the Delivery Date and as specified in the Drawdown Request; and

5.5.2

on terms that:

(a)

the Prepositioning Bank is acceptable to the Agent;

(b)

such amounts shall be held to the order of the Agent until it is released to the Prepositioning Bank according to a separate SWIFT instruction agreed between the Agent and the relevant Borrower

Page 33

(for the avoidance of doubt the Agent shall in its sole discretion decide if it finds the wording of the SWIFT instruction acceptable);

(c)

such prepositioning shall constitute the making of the Drawing and the relevant Borrower shall at that time become indebted, as principal and direct obligor, to the Lenders in an amount equal to the prepositioned funds; and

(d)

the date on which the Drawing is prepositioned shall constitute the Drawdown Date.

Repayment

6.1	Repayment of Loan

Borrower B agrees to repay the Existing Tranche C and the New Tranche, for the account of the Lenders in the amounts set out in Schedule 9.

After each Drawing in respect of the New Tranche, Schedule 9 shall be adjusted by the Agent to reflect that:

(a)

each Drawing under the New Tranche shall be repaid in 28 quarterly instalments of USD 322,793 each and a balloon payment of the remaining outstanding amount of such Drawing which shall be paid together with the last of the 28 instalments; and

(b)

the first instalment in respect of a Drawing under the New Tranche shall fall due on the first Payment Date which falls at least three calendar months after the Drawdown Date of that Drawing and subsequent instalments falling due at consecutive Payment Dates thereafter and the final instalment and the balloon instalment in respect of that Drawing (as set out in Schedule 9) falling due on the Termination Date of the New Tranche.

6.1.3

Notwhitstanding Clause 6.1.2 above, each Tranche shall be repaid in full no later than on the Termination Date applicable to the relevant Tranche.

6.2

Reduction of Repayment Instalments If the aggregate amount advanced to Borrower B is less than the Commitment in respect of the New Tranche, the amount of each Repayment Instalment in respect of the New Tranche (including the balloon instalment) shall be reduced pro rata to the amount actually advanced.

6.3	Reborrowing The Borrowers may not reborrow any part of the Loan which is repaid or prepaid or cancelled.

7	Illegality, Prepayment and Cancellation

7.1	Illegality If it becomes unlawful in any jurisdiction (including, without limitation, under applicable Sanctions Laws) for a Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund or maintain its participation in the Loan:

7.1.1

that Lender shall promptly notify the Agent upon becoming aware of that event;

7.1.2

the Borrowers shall repay that Lender's participation within ninety (90) days of demand.

Page 35

7.2

Voluntary cancellation Each Borrower may, if they give the Agent not less than 10 Business Days' (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior notice, cancel the whole or any part (being a minimum amount of USD 1,000,000 of the undrawn amount of the relevant Tranche). Any cancellation under this Clause 7.2 shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders rateably.

7.3	Voluntary prepayment of Loan The Borrowers may prepay the whole or any part of the Loan but, if in part, being an amount that reduces the Loan by a minimum amount of USD 1,000,000 subject as follows:

7.3.1

the Borrowers give the Agent not less than 10 Business Days' (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior notice;

7.3.2

the prepayment under this Clause 7.3 shall be applied against such Tranche as the Borrowers select; and

7.3.3

any prepayment under this Clause 7.3 shall satisfy the obligations under Clause 6.1 (Repayment of Loan) pro-rata across maturities for the Tranche or Tranches against which such prepayment is applied in accordance with Clause 7.3.2 above.

7.4	[DELIBERATELY NOT USED]

7.5	Right of cancellation and prepayment in relation to a single Lender

7.5.1 If:

(a) any sum payable to any Lender by the Borrowers is required to be increased under Clause 12.2.2 (Tax gross-up);

(b) any Lender claims indemnification from the Borrowers under Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) or Clause 13.1 (Increased costs);

the Borrowers may, whilst the circumstance giving rise to the requirement for that increase or indemnification continues, give the Agent notice of cancellation of the Commitment(s) of that Lender and their intention to procure the repayment of that Lender's participation in the Loan.

7.5.2

On receipt of a notice referred to in Clause 7.5.1 in relation to a Lender, the Commitment(s) of that Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.

7.5.3

On the last day of the Interest Period which ends after the Borrowers have given notice under Clause 7.5.1 in relation to a Lender (or, if earlier, the date specified by the Borrowers in that notice), the Borrowers shall repay that Lender's participation in the Loan together with all interest and other amounts accrued under the Finance Documents.

7.6	Mandatory prepayment on sale or Total Loss

7.6.1

If a Vessel is sold by an Owner, the Borrowers shall, simultaneously with any such sale, prepay the Loan with an amount equal to the Appropriate Amount for such Vessel immediately prior to completion of such sale. Any such prepayment shall be applied first against the Tranche made available to finance that Vessel (and reduce the instalments of such

Page 36

Tranche (including any balloon payment) on a pro rata basis) and secondly in prepayment of such other Tranche and reduce the instalments of such other Tranche (including any balloon payment) on a pro rata basis) as determined by the Borrowers. Any balance shall, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, be at the free disposal of the Borrowers. If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred, all proceeds from a sale of a Vessel shall be applied towards prepayment of the Loan.

7.6.2

If a Vessel becomes a Total Loss, the Borrowers shall on the earlier of (i) 30 days after the date of the Total Loss if the Agent believes, acting reasonably, that the relevant insurer has rightfully refused to meet or rightfully disputes the claim in respect of a Total Loss; (ii) the date falling 180 days after any such Total Loss (which the Agent may extend by a further 180 days if it is satisfied, acting reasonably, that the insurers have accepted liability) and (iii) the date on which the proceeds of any such Total Loss are realised, make a prepayment of the Loan to the extent necessary in an amount equal to the Appropriate Amount for such Vessel immediately prior to such Total Loss. Any such prepayment shall be applied first against the Tranche made available to finance that Vessel (and reduce the instalments of such Tranche (including any balloon payment) on a pro rata basis) and secondly in prepayment of such other Tranche and reduce the instalments of such Tranche (including any balloon payment) on a pro rata basis) as determined by the Borrowers. Any balance shall, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, be at the free disposal of the Borrowers. If a Default has occurred, all insurance proceeds from a Total Loss of a Vessel shall be applied towards prepayment of the Loan.

7.6.3

The Borrowers shall promptly notify the Agent in writing if a Vessel becomes a Total Loss.

7.6.4

The Borrowers shall promptly notify the Agent in writing if they are notified that the relevant insurer refuses to meet or disputes a claim in respect of a Total Loss.

7.7

Right of cancellation in relation to a Defaulting Lender If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers may, at any time whilst the Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender, give the Agent 10 Business Days' notice of cancellation of the Commitment of that Lender. On that notice becoming effective, the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero. The Agent shall as soon as practicable after receipt of that notice notify all the Lenders.

7.8	Mandatory prepayment on Change of Control If there is a Change of Control or Borrower B is delisted from NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S:

7.8.1

the relevant Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent of such Change of Control or delisting as soon as it becomes aware of it;

7.8.2

upon the Lenders becoming aware of such Change in Control or delisting and unless the Lenders agree otherwise in writing, the Commitments will immediately be cancelled and each Borrower shall repay its relevant

Page 37

Tranche (to the extent already advanced prior to the Change of Control) within 7 days of notice from the Agent.

7.9

Restrictions Any notice of prepayment or cancellation given under this Clause 7 shall be irrevocable and, unless a contrary indication appears in this Agreement, shall specify the date or dates upon which the relevant prepayment or cancellation is to be made and the amount of that prepayment or cancellation.

Any prepayment under this Agreement shall be made together with accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, subject to any Interest Break Costs (in respect of which Clause 10.4 applies) and any Break Funding Costs (in respect of which Clause 7.10 applies) without premium or penalty.

The Borrowers shall not repay, prepay or cancel all or any part of the Loan except at the times and in the manner expressly provided for in this Agreement.

No amount of the Total Commitments cancelled under this Agreement may be subsequently reinstated.

If the Agent receives a notice under this Clause 7 it shall promptly forward a copy of that notice to the Borrowers or the affected Lender, as appropriate.

7.10	Break Funding Costs

7.10.1

The Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of demand by DSF, pay to DSF its Break Funding Costs attributable to any prepayment of the Loan.

7.10.2

The Break Funding Costs shall be determined by DSF and shall be binding on the Borrowers save for manifest errors. If the Break Funding Costs are less than zero, the Break Funding Costs shall be deemed to be zero.

7.10.3

For the avoidance of doubt, any Break Funding Costs shall be in addition to and not in substitution of any Interest Break Costs.

7.11	Vessel Substitution

7.11.1

In circumstance contemplated by Clause 7.6, and provided no Default is then in existence, the Borrowers may elect to propose a substitute vessel by the procedure set out in this Clause 7.11.

7.11.2

Instead of making the prepayment in the amount and at the time specified in Clause 7.6, the Borrowers shall place an equivalent amount in the Reserve Account on or before the date the prepayment would otherwise have fallen due (the "Deposit").

7.11.3

The Borrowers may nominate a substitute vessel which shall be a product tanker (XX0, XX0, MR or handy size) of the same age or younger than the Vessel that was sold or declared a Total Loss, and with at least an equivalent Market Value, no less than 10 Business Days prior to the proposed date of substitution.

7.11.4

The Agent, on the instruction of the Majority Lenders acting reasonably, shall give notice to the Borrowers as soon as practicable as to whether or

Page 38

not the nominated substitute vessel is acceptable and fulfils the requirements set out in Clause 7.11.3.

7.11.5

If such nomination is accepted, then the relevant owner shall enter into a guarantee on the same terms as the Guarantee, and other Security Documents relating to the substitute vessel in the same form as the equivalent documents relating to the Vessel which was sold or became a Total loss.

7.11.6

The Agent will specify other conditions precedent to the substitution (to include but not be limited to corporate authorities, legal opinions, evidence of class, evidence of adequate insurance coverage and payment of a fee of USD 25,000, and a pledge over the shares in the relevant owner in favour of the Security Agent and to be broadly similar to the conditions precedent relating to other drawdowns), and on satisfaction of such conditions the Deposit shall be released.

7.11.7

If the Borrowers elect not to propose a substitute vessel, they may at any time use the Deposit as a prepayment hereunder, to be applied in accordance with Clause 7.6 (Mandatory prepayment on sale or Total Loss).

7.12	Break Gains for Interest Periods in excess of six months If:

7.12.1

the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) has agreed to an Interest Period in respect of a Tranche being for a duration of more than six (6) months in accordance with Clause 9.1.1 (Duration of Interest Periods); and

7.12.2

a Borrower prepays all or part of the relevant Tranche in accordance with this Clause 7 (Illegality, Prepayment and Cancellation),

that Borrower shall be entitled to be credited with any Break Gains resulting from such prepayment.

Page 39

Section 5

Costs of Utilisation

Interest

8.1	Calculation of interest The rate of interest on the Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

8.1.1

the relevant Margin; and

8.1.2

LIBOR.

8.2	Payment of interest

8.2.1

Borrower A shall pay accrued interest on Existing Tranche A and Existing Tranche B; and

8.2.2

Borrower B shall pay accrued interest on Existing Tranche C and the New Tranche,

quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date for the period since the relevant Drawing or the previous due date for the period of interest.

8.3

Default interest If either 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 up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is two per cent higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted the Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Borrowers on demand by the Agent.

Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount 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.

8.4	Notification of rates of interest The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

9	Interest Periods

9.1	Duration of Interest Periods

9.1.1

Each Interest Period relating to the Existing Tranche A shall be three (3) calendar months or six (6) calendar months (at the option of Borrower A), each Interest Period relating to the Existing Tranche B shall be three (3) calendar months and each Interest Period relating to the Existing Tranche C or the New Tranche (save the first) shall be three (3) or six (6) calendar months (at the option of Borrower B) or in either case any other period agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders).

9.1.2

An Interest Period shall end on a Payment Date and shall not extend beyond the Termination Date for the relevant Tranche.

Page 40

9.1.3

The first Interest Period in respect of each Drawing shall start on the Drawdown Date of that Drawing and shall end on the following Payment Date; and each subsequent Interest Period in respect of such Drawing shall start on the last day of the preceding Interest Period and end on the Payment Date which falls three (3) or six (6) calendar months (if it relates to Existing Tranche A), three (3) calendar months (if it relates to Existing Tranche B) or three (3) or six (6) calendar months (if it relates to Existing Tranche C or the New Tranche) after the last day of the preceding Interest Period.

9.1.4

If Borrower B at any time fails to select an Interest Period for Existing Tranche C or the New Tranche in accordance with Clause 9.1.1 by the date falling three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement of an Interest Period, then the interest rate applicable shall be based on an Interest Period of three (3) months.

9.2	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).

10	Changes to the Calculation of Interest

10.1

Absence of quotations Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11.00 am on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

10.2	Market disruption If a Market Disruption Event occurs for any Interest Period, then, subject to Clause 11.3, the rate of interest on each Lender's share of the Loan for that Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

10.2.1

the Margin; and

10.2.2

the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.

10.2.3

In this Agreement "Market Disruption Event" means:

(a)

at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks and no Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR for dollars and the relevant Interest Period; or

(b)

before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders that the cost to it of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of LIBOR.

Page 41

10.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding

10.3.1

If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrowers so require, the Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

10.3.2

Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to Clause 10.3.1 shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrowers, be binding on all Parties.

10.4

Interest Break Costs The Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Interest Break Costs attributable to all or any part of the Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrowers on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for the Loan or Unpaid Sum.

Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Interest Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

Fees

11.1	Commitment fee

(a)

Borrower B shall pay to the Agent (for the account of the Lenders in proportion to their Commitments) a fee computed at the rate of 35 per cent of the rate specified in the definition of "Margin" on the undrawn amount of the New Tranche from 25 July 2017.

(b)

the accrued commitment fee is payable on the last day of each successive period of three months which ends during the Availability Period, on the last day of the Availability Period, on each Drawdown Date, on each Payment Date and (on the cancelled amount of the relevant Lender's Commitment) at the time the cancellation is effective.

12.2.1

a Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that it or any other Security Party must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower and any such other Security Party;

12.2.2

if a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Borrower or any other Security Party, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower or that other Security Party shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required;

12.2.3

if a Borrower or any other Security Party is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Borrower shall (and shall procure that such other Security Party shall) make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law;

12.2.4

within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Borrower making that Tax Deduction shall (and shall procure that such other Security Party shall) deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment

Page 43

Each Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.

12.3.2

Clause 12.3.1 shall not apply:

under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Finance Party is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(ii)

under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party's Facility Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if that Tax is imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Finance Party; or

(b)

to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up),; or

(ii)

relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party.

12.4.1

a Tax Credit is attributable to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, to that Tax Payment or to a Tax Deduction in consequence of which that Tax Payment was required; and

12.4.2

that Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

Page 44

that Finance Party shall pay an amount to that Borrower or to that other Security Party which that Finance Party determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been made by that Borrower or that other Security Party.

12.5	Stamp taxes The Borrowers shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

12.6

VAT

12.6.1

All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party or any Security Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to Clause 12.6.2, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party or any Security Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party or Security Party must pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to the Borrowers).

12.6.2

If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the "Supplier") to any other Finance Party (the "Recipient") under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the "Relevant Party") is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(a)

(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this Clause 12.6.2(a) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(b)

(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

Page 45

12.6.3

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.

12.6.4

Any reference in this Clause 12.6 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 English Value Added Tax Act 1994).

12.6.5

In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that Party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

12.7	FATCA information

12.7.1

Subject to Clause 12.7.3, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(a)

confirm to that other Party whether it is:

(i)

a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(ii)

not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(b)

supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable "passthru payment percentage" or other information required under the US Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with FATCA.

12.7.2

If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to Clause 13.8.1(a)(i) that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

12.7.3

Clause 12.7.1 shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(a)

any law or regulation;

(b)

any fiduciary duty; or

Page 46

(c)

any duty of confidentiality.

12.7.4

If a Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with Clause 12.7.1 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where Clause 12.7.3 applies), then:

(a)

if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(b)

if that Party failed to confirm its applicable "passthru payment percentage" then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable "passthru payment percentage" is 100%,

until (in each case) such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

12.7.5

If a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor, or where the Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of:

(a)

where a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Lender is an Original Lender, the date of this Agreement;

(b)

where a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Lender is a New Lender, the relevant Transfer Date;

(c)

where a Borrower is not a US Tax Obligor, the date of a request from the Agent,

supply to the Agent:

(d)

a withholding certificate on Form W-8 or Form W-9 (or any successor form) (as applicable); or

(e)

any withholding statement and other documentation, authorisations and waivers as the Agent may require to certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA.

The Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers it receives from a Lender pursuant to this Clause 12.7.5 to the Borrowers and shall be entitled to rely on any such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided without further verification. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this Clause 12.7.5.

12.7.6

Each Lender agrees that if any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided to the Agent pursuant to Clause 12.7.5 is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, it shall promptly update such withholding certificate,

Page 47

withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers or promptly notify the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. The Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers to the Borrowers. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this Clause 12.7.6.

12.8	FATCA Deduction

12.8.1

Each Finance Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required by FATCA to make, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

12.8.2

The Agent shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Finance Parties.

13	Increased Costs

13.1

Increased costs Subject to Clause 13.3 (Exceptions) the Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of a demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Costs incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates as a result of (i) the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation or any request from or requirement of any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority made after the date of this Agreement (including Basel III (as defined in Clause 13.3) and any other which relates to capital adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which that Finance Party allocates capital resources to obligations under this Agreement) or (iii) any change in the risk weight allocated by that Finance Party to the Borrowers after the date of this Agreement.

In this Agreement "Increased Costs" means:

(a)

a reduction in the rate of return from the Loan or on a Finance Party's (or its Affiliate's) overall capital;

(b)

an additional or increased cost; or

13.2.2

Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Increased Costs.

13.3	Exceptions Clause 13.1 (Increased costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is:

13.3.1

attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party;

17.5

Additional security If at any time the aggregate of the Market Value of the Existing Vessels and the New Vessels (which shall be calculated on a semi-annual basis on or around 30 June and 31 December each year by two valuations from Approved Shipbrokers appointed by the Borrower) and the value of any additional security for the time being provided to the Security Agent under this Clause 17.5,

Page 55

such value to be the face amount of any deposit (in the case of cash), to be determined conclusively by appropriate advisors (acting reasonably) appointed by the Agent (in the case of other charged assets) and determined by the Agent in its discretion acting reasonably (in all other cases) is less than 133% of the Loan then outstanding less any amount standing to the credit of the Reserve Account and the value of any additional security for the time being provided to the Security Agent under this Clause 17.5 (the "LTV Coverage"), the Borrowers shall, within 30 days of the Agent’s written request and at the Borrowers' option:

17.5.1

pay into the Reserve Account a cash deposit in such amount as when deducted from the Loan reduces the excess to zero to be secured in favour of the Security Agent as additional security for the payment of the Indebtedness; or

17.5.2

give to the Security Agent other additional security in amount and form acceptable to the Security Agent in its discretion acting reasonably to provide security for such excess, it being agreed that any XX0, XX0, MR or handy size product tanker of less than 15 years old shall be acceptable; or

17.5.3

prepay the Loan in such amount as when deducted from the Loan reduces the excess to zero.

Clauses 6.3 (Reborrowing), 7.3 (Voluntary prepayment of Loan) and 7.9 (Restrictions) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any prepayment made under this Clause 17.5 except that the minimum threshold in Clause 7.3 (Voluntary prepayment of Loan) shall not apply.

The Agent may, at any time during the Facility Period, test the LTV Coverage by obtaining valuations from any two Approved Shipbrokers appointed by it (in which case the average of the of the vauations shall form the basis for determining the compliance with this Clause) with any such valuations being at the cost of the Agent unless an Event of Default is continuing in which case they shall be at the cost of the Borrowers.

Any additional security granted and/or cash deposit made pursuant to this Clause 17.5 shall be discharged or released (in whole or in part) by the Security Agent (at the Borrowers' cost) in the event that the LTV Coverage (without relying on such part of the additional security granted and/or cash deposit made as is to be released) is complied with on the next day of testing, or is again complied with as evidenced by two valuations from the same Approved Shipbrokers as gave the immediately preceding valuations, appointed by the Borrowers. This shall be without prejudice to the Agent's right to make any request under this Clause 17.5 should the value of the remaining security (as evidenced by updated valuations from the same two Approved Shipbrokers) subsequently merit it.

If and for so long as the Borrowers fails to satisfy the obligations arising from the Agent's request under this Clause 17.5 the Borrowers shall, if so demanded by the Agent, compensate the Lenders for the increased risk in relation to the Loan by paying interest on the Loan at a rate calculated in accordance with Clause 8.3 (Default interest) as if the whole of the outstanding Loan were an overdue amount. Any such interest shall accrue

Page 56

in accordance with Clause 32.3 (Day count convention) and be payable by the Borrowers in accordance with Clause 8.2 (Payment of interest) and shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy any Finance Party may have under Clause 13 (Increased Costs) or Clause 22.34.1 (Events of Default).

A Vessel shall not be included in the calculation of the LTV Coverage unless a Mortgage has been registered and remain registered against such Vessel.

17.6	Release of Mortgages

If:

17.6.1

the Borrowers make a voluntary prepayment in accordance with Clause 7.2 (Voluntary Prepayment of Loan) in respect of a certain Tranche; or

17.6.2

the Borrowers make a balloon payment on the Termination Date in respect of a certain Tranche in accordance with Schedule 9,

(each a "Payment") the Borrowers may require that the Mortgage(s) over one or more of the Vessels financed by that Tranche and the other Security Documents in respect of such Vessel(s) (but not any Vessels financed by other Tranches) be released after such Payment, provided that

(a)

the Borrowers notify the Agent of such requirement no later than 10 Business Days prior to the such Payment;

(b)

the LTV Coverage after such Payment and such release is not less than the LTV Coverage immediately prior to such payment and release;

(c)

the LTV Coverage exceeds 133% after such Payment and release;

(d)

the LTV Coverage for the purpose of this Clause shall be calculated on the basis of the Market Value of the Vessels (as determined by the most recent valuation provided to the Agent pursuant to Clause 20.2.3); and

(e)

no Default has occurred and is continuing.

18	Guarantee and Indemnity

18.1	Guarantee and indemnity

18.1.1

(a)

guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Security Party of all that Security Party's obligations under the Finance Documents (insofar as those obligations relate to the Existing Tranche A and the Existing Tranche B);

(b)

undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Security Party does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document (insofar as such payment relates to the Existing Tranche A and the Existing Tranche B), Guarantor A shall

Page 57

immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(c)

agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal (insofar as the obligation relates to the Existing Tranche A and the Existing Tranche B), it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Security Party not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by Guarantor A under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 18 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

18.1.2

Guarantor B irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)

(b)

undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Security Party does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document insofar as such payment relates to Existing Tranche C and the New Tranche), Guarantor B shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(c)

agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal (insofar as the obligation relates to Existing Tranche C and the New Tranche), it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Security Party not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by Guarantor B under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 18 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

18.1.3

The Owners (in their capacity as guarantors) each jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)

guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Security Party of all that Security Party's obligations under the Finance Documents;

(b)

undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Security Party does not pay any amount when due under or in connection

Page 58

with any Finance Document, the Owners (in their capacity as guarantors) shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(c)

agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Security Party not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the Owners (in their capacity as guarantors) under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 18 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

18.2	Continuing Guarantee This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Security Party under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

18.3	No limit on demands There shall be no limit on the number of demands which a Finance Party may make against a Guarantor in accordance with Clause 18.1 (Guarantee and indemnity).

18.4

18.5

Waiver of defences The obligations of the Guarantors under this Clause 18 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 18, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 18 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:

18.5.1

any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Security Party or other person;

18.5.2

the release of any other Security Party or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Security Party;

18.5.3

the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Security Party or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

Page 59

18.5.4

any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of a Security Party or any other person;

18.5.5

any amendment, novation, supplement, extension restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Finance Document or other document or security;

18.5.6

any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any other document or security; or

18.5.7

18.7

Immediate recourse The Guarantors waive any right they may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from the Guarantors under this Clause 18. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

18.8	Appropriations Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Security Parties under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

18.8.1

refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Guarantors shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

18.8.2

hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantors or on account of the Guarantors' liability under this Clause 18.

18.9	Deferral of Guarantors’ rights Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Security Parties under or in connection with the Finance Documents

Page 60

have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantors will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 18:

18.9.1

to be indemnified by a Security Party;

18.9.2

to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any Security Party's obligations under the Finance Documents;

18.9.3

to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Finance Documents by any Finance Party;

18.9.4

to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Security Party to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which the Guarantors have given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause 18.1 (Guarantee and indemnity);

18.9.5

to exercise any right of set-off against any Security Party; and/or

18.9.6

to claim or prove as a creditor of any Security Party in competition with any Finance Party.

If the Guarantors receive any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights they shall hold that benefit, payment or distribution to the extent necessary to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Finance Parties by the Security Parties under or in connection with the Finance Documents to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 29 (Payment mechanics).

18.10

Additional security This guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by any Finance Party.

Section 9

Changes to Parties

24	Changes to the Lenders

24.1	Assignments and transfers by the Lenders Subject to this Clause 24, a Lender (the "Existing Lender") may:

24.1.1

assign any of its rights; or

24.1.2

transfer by novation any of its rights and obligations; or

24.1.3

sub-participate any of its rights and obligations,

under any Finance Document to another bank or financial institution or other entity which is regularly engaged in or established for the purpose of making, purchasing, or investing in loans, securities or other financial assets (other than any hedge fund, opportunity fund or private equity investor) (the "New Lender").

24.2	Conditions of assignment or transfer

24.2.1

An Existing Lender must consult with the Borrowers for no more than 15 Business Days before it may make an assignment or transfer or sub-participation in accordance with Clause 24.1 (Assignments and transfers by the Lenders) unless the assignment or transfer is:

(a)

to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (falling within the definition of a “New Lender”); or

(b)

made at a time when an Event of Default is continuing.

24.2.2

The consent of the Borrowers to an assignment or transfer or sub-participation must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Borrowers will be deemed to have given their consent 15 Business Days after the Lender has requested it unless consent is expressly refused by the Borrowers within that time.

24.2.3

An assignment will only be effective on:

(a)

receipt by the Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Original Lender; and

(b)

performance by the Agent of all necessary "know your customer" or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to such assignment to a New Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Existing Lender and the New Lender; and

(c)

it is for a minimum amount of ten million dollars (USD 10,000,000).

Page 88

24.2.4

A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 24.4 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

24.2.5

If:

(a)

a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents or changes its Facility Office; and

(b)

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, a Borrower would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 12 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or Clause 13 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender or Lender acting through its previous Facility Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred. This Clause 24.2.5 shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Loan.

24.2.6

Each New Lender confirms, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the transfer or assignment becomes effective in accordance with this Agreement and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

24.3	Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(b)

the financial condition of any Security Party;

(c)

the performance and observance by any Security Party of its obligations under the Relevant Documents or any other documents; or

(d)

the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any of the Relevant Documents or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

24.3.2

Each New Lender confirms to the Existing Lender and the other Finance Parties that it:

Page 89

(a)

has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Security Party and its related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender in connection with any of the Relevant Documents; and

(b)

will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Security Party and its related entities whilst any amount is or may be outstanding under the Finance Documents or any Commitment is in force.

24.3.3

Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(a)

accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 24; or

(b)

support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Security Party of its obligations under the Relevant Documents or otherwise.

24.4	Procedure for transfer

24.4.1

Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 24.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with Clause 24.4.3 when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to Clause 24.2.3(b), as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Transfer Certificate appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Transfer Certificate.

24.4.2

On the Transfer Date:

(a)

to the extent that in the Transfer Certificate the Existing Lender seeks to transfer by novation its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents each Borrower and each Guarantor and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another shall be cancelled (being the "Discharged Rights and Obligations");

(b)

each Borrower and each Guarantor and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights

Page 90

against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Borrower and the Guarantors and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Borrower and the Guarantors and the Existing Lender;

(c)

the Agent, the Security Agent, the New Lender and other Lenders shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had the New Lender been an Original Lender with the rights and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of the transfer and to that extent the Agent, the Security Agent, and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under this Agreement; and

(d)

the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender".

24.5	Procedure for assignment

24.5.1

Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 24.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) an assignment may be effected in accordance with Clause 24.5.3 when the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender. The Agent shall, subject to Clause 24.5.2, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a duly completed Assignment Agreement appearing on its face to comply with the terms of this Agreement and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, execute that Assignment Agreement.

24.5.2

The Agent shall only be obliged to execute an Assignment Agreement delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary "know your customer" or similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assignment to such New Lender.

24.5.3

On the Transfer Date:

(a)

the Existing Lender will assign absolutely to the New Lender its rights under the Finance Documents and in respect of any Encumbrance created or expressed to be created or evidenced by the Security Documents and expressed to be the subject of the assignment in the Assignment Agreement;

(b)

the Existing Lender will be released from the obligations (the "Relevant Obligations") expressed to be the subject of the release in the Assignment Agreement (and any corresponding obligations by which it is bound in respect of any Encumbrance created or expressed to be created or evidenced by the Security Documents); and

(c)

the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender" and will be bound by obligations equivalent to the Relevant Obligations.

Page 91

24.5.4

Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 24.5 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Security Party or unless in accordance with Clause 24.4 (Procedure for transfer), to obtain a release by that Security Party from the obligations owed to that Security Party by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in Clause 24.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer).

24.6	Copy of Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement to Borrowers The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate or an Assignment Agreement, send to the Borrowers a copy of that Transfer Certificate or Assignment Agreement.

24.7

Security over Lenders' rights In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this Clause 24, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Security Party, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Encumbrances in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of that Lender including, without limitation:

24.7.1

any charge, assignment or other Encumbrance to secure obligations to a federal reserve or central bank; and

24.7.2

in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Encumbrance granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by that Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, assignment or Encumbrance shall:

(a)

release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Finance Documents or substitute the beneficiary of the relevant charge, assignment or Encumbrance for the Lender as a party to any of the Finance Documents; or

(b)

require any payments to be made by a Security Party other than or in excess of, or grant to any person any more extensive rights than, those required to be made or granted to the relevant Lender under the Finance Documents.

24.8	Fee The New Lender shall, on the date on which the transfer, assignment or sub-participation becomes effective, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of five thousand Dollars (USD 5,000).

24.9

Restriction on Debt Purchase Transaction No Security Party shall, and the Borrowers shall procure that no member of the Group shall, enter into any Debt Purchase Transaction or beneficially own all or any part of the share capital of a company that is a Lender or a party to a Debt Purchase Transaction of the type referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c) of the definition of Debt Purchase Transaction.

Page 101

26.11.6

save as otherwise provided in the Finance Documents, all moneys which under the trusts therein contained are received by the Security Agent may be invested in the name of or under the control of the Security Agent in any investment for the time being authorised by English law for the investment by trustees of trust money or in any other investments which may be selected by the Security Agent, and the same may be placed on deposit in the name of or under the control of the Security Agent at such bank or institution (including the Security Agent) and upon such terms as the Security Agent may think fit.

26.12.4

If the Agent wishes to resign because (acting reasonably) it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate (for reasons not related to remuneration) for it to remain as agent and the Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Agent under Clause 26.12.3, the Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Agent) agree with the proposed successor Agent amendments to this Clause 26 and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees together with a reasonable agency fee (acceptable to the Borrowers (acting reasonably) and those amendments will bind the Parties).

26.12.5

The retiring Agent shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its functions as Agent under the Finance Documents.

26.12.6

26.12.7

Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance

Page 102

Documents (other than its obligations under Clause 26.12.5) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Agent) and this Clause 26 (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date). Any successor and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

26.12.8

The Agent shall resign in accordance with Clause 26.12.2 (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint a successor Agent pursuant to Clause 26.12.3) if on or after the date which is three months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Agent under the Finance Documents, either:

(a)

the Agent fails to respond to a request under Clause 12.7 (FATCA information) and a Borrower or a Lender reasonably believes that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

(b)

the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to Clause 12.7 (FATCA information) indicates that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

(c)

the Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date;

and (in each case) a Borrower or a Lender reasonably believes that a Party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and that Borrower or that Lender, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign.

26.13

Replacement of the Agent

26.13.1

After consultation with the Borrowers, the Majority Lenders may, by giving 30 days' notice to the Agent (or, at any time the Agent is an Impaired Agent, by giving any shorter notice determined by the Majority lenders) replace the Agent by appointing a successor Agent.

26.13.2

The retiring Agent shall (at its own cost if it is an Impaired Agent and otherwise at the expense of the Lenders) make available to the successor Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of performing its function as Agent under the Finance Documents.

The appointment of the successor Agent shall take effect on the date specified in the notice from the Majority Lenders to the retiring Agent. As from this date, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under Clause 26.13.2 but shall remain entitled to the benefit of Clause 14.3 (Indemnity to the Agent) and this Clause 26 (and any agency fees

Page 103

for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).

26.13.4

Any successor Agent and each of the other Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had been an original Party.

26.14

Confidentiality

In acting as agent for the Finance Parties, the Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments.

26.14.2

If information is received by another division or department of the Agent, it may be treated as confidential to that division or department and the Agent shall not be deemed to have notice of it.

26.14.3

Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, neither the Agent is obliged to disclose to any other person (i) any confidential information or (ii) any other information if the disclosure would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or a breach of a fiduciary duty.

26.15

Relationship with the Lenders

26.15.1

The Agent may treat the person shown in its records as Lender at the opening of business (in the place of the Agent's principal office as notified to the Finance Parties from time to time) as the Lender acting through its Facility Office:

(a)

entitled to or liable for any payment due under any Finance Document on that day; and

(b)

entitled to receive and act upon any notice, request, document or communication or make any decision or determination under any Finance Document made or delivered on that day,

unless it has received not less than five Business Days' prior notice from that Lender to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

26.15.2

Any Lender may by notice to the Agent appoint a person to receive on its behalf all notices, communications, information and documents to be made or dispatched to that Lender under the Finance Documents. Such notice shall contain the address, fax number and (where communication by electronic mail or other electronic means is permitted under Clause 31.6 (Electronic communication)) electronic mail address and/or any other information required to enable the sending and receipt of information by that means (and, in each case, the department or officer, if any, for whose attention communication is to be made) and be treated as a notification of a substitute address, fax number, electronic mail address, department and officer by that Lender for the purposes of Clause 31.2 (Addresses) and Clause 31.6.1(b) (Electronic communication) and the Agent shall be entitled to treat such person as

Page 104

the person entitled to receive all such notices, communications, information and documents as though that person were that Lender.

26.16

Credit appraisal by the Lenders Without affecting the responsibility of any Security Party for information supplied by it or on its behalf in connection with any Relevant Document, each Lender confirms to the Agent that it has been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with any Relevant Document including but not limited to:

26.16.1

the financial condition, status and nature of each Security Party;

26.16.2

28	Sharing among the Finance Parties

28.1	Payments to Finance Parties If a Finance Party (a "Recovering Finance Party") receives or recovers any amount from a Security Party other than in accordance with Clause 29 (Payment Mechanics) (a "Recovered Amount") and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

28.1.1

the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the Agent;

28.1.2

the Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 29 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

28.1.3

the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount (the "Sharing Payment") equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 29.6 (Partial payments).

28.2

Redistribution of payments The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Security Party and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the "Sharing Finance Parties") in accordance with Clause 29.6 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of that Security Party to the Sharing Finance Parties.

28.3

Recovering Finance Party's rights On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 28.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from a Security Party, as between the relevant Security Party and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Security Party.

28.4	Reversal of redistribution If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:

28.4.1

each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the Agent, pay to the Agent for the account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay) (the "Redistributed Amount"); and

28.4.2

as between the relevant Security Party and each relevant Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by that Security Party.

Page 106

28.5	Exceptions

28.5.1

This Clause 28 shall not apply to the extent that the Recovering Finance Party would not, after making any payment pursuant to this Clause, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Security Party.

28.5.2

A Recovering Finance Party is not obliged to share with any other Finance Party any amount which the Recovering Finance Party has received or recovered as a result of taking legal or arbitration proceedings, if:

(a)

it notified that other Finance Party of the legal or arbitration proceedings; and

(b)

that other Finance Party had an opportunity to participate in those legal or arbitration proceedings but did not do so as soon as reasonably practicable having received notice and did not take separate legal or arbitration proceedings.

Section 11

Administration

29	Payment Mechanics

29.1

Payments to the Agent On each date on which a Security Party or a Lender is required to make a payment under a Finance Document that Security Party or that Lender shall make the same available to the Agent for value on the due date at the time and in such funds specified by the Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment.

Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency with such bank as the Agent specifies.

29.2

Distributions by the Agent Each payment received by the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party shall, subject to Clause 29.3 (Distributions to a Security Party) and Clause 29.4 (Clawback and pre-funding) be made available by the Agent as soon as practicable after receipt to the Party entitled to receive payment in accordance with this Agreement (in the case of a Lender, for the account of its Facility Office), to such account as that Party may notify to the Agent by not less than five Business Days' notice with a bank specified by that Party in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency.

29.3

Distributions to a Security Party The Agent may (with the consent of a Security Party or in accordance with Clause 30 (Set-Off)) apply any amount received by it for that Security Party in or towards payment (on the date and in the currency and funds of receipt) of any amount due from that Security Party under the Finance Documents or in or towards purchase of any amount of any currency to be so applied.

29.4	Clawback and pre-funding

29.4.1

Where a sum is to be paid to the Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party, the Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

29.4.2

Unless Clause 29.4.3 applies, if the Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Agent, calculated by the Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

29.4.3

If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is willing to make available amounts for the account of a Borrower before receiving funds from the Lenders then if and to the extent that the Agent does so but it proves to be the case that it does not then receive funds from a Lender in respect of a sum which it paid to a Borrower:

(a)

the Agent shall notify the Borrowers of that Lender's identity and the Borrowers shall on demand refund it to the Agent; and

Page 108

(b)

the Lender by whom those funds should have been made available or, if that Lender fails to do so, the Borrowers shall on demand pay to the Agent the amount (as certified by the Agent) which will indemnify the Agent against any funding cost incurred by it as a result of paying out that sum before receiving those funds from that Lender.

29.5	Impaired Agent

29.5.1

If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, a Security Party or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Finance Documents to the Agent in accordance with Clause 29.1 (Payments to the Agent) may instead either:

(a)

pay that amount direct to the required recipient(s); or

(b)

if in its absolute discretion it considers that it is not reasonably practicable to pay that amount direct to the required recipient(s), pay that amount or the relevant part of that amount to an interest-bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Security Party or the Lender making the payment (the "Paying Party") and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Finance Documents (the "Recipient Party" or "Recipient Parties").

In each case such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Finance Documents.

29.5.2

All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of the Recipient Party or the Recipient Parties pro rata to their respective entitlements.

29.5.3

A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this Clause 29.5 shall be discharged of the relevant payment obligation under the Finance Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the trust account.

29.5.4

Promptly upon the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with Clause 26.13 (Replacement of the Agent), each Paying Party shall (other than to the extent that that Party has given an instruction pursuant to Clause 29.5.5) give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with any accrued interest) to the successor Agent for distribution to the relevant Recipient Party or Recipient Parties in accordance with Clause 29.2 (Distributions by the Agent).

29.5.5

A Paying Party shall, promptly upon request by a Recipient Party and to the extent:

(a)

that it has not given an instruction pursuant to Clause 29.5.4; and

Page 109

(b)

that it has been provided with the necessary information by that Recipient Party,

give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the relevant amount (together with any accrued interest) to that Recipient Party.

29.6	Partial payments

29.6.1

If the Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by a Security Party under the Finance Documents, the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Security Party under the Finance Documents in the following order:

(a)

first, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Agent under the Finance Documents;

(b)

secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued interest, fee or commission due but unpaid under this Agreement;

(c)

thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of any principal due but unpaid under this Agreement; and

(d)

fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents.

29.6.2

The Agent shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, vary the order set out in Clauses 29.6.1(b) to 29.6.1(d).

29.6.3

Clauses 29.6.1 and 29.6.2 will override any appropriation made by a Security Party.

29.7	No set-off by Security Parties All payments to be made by a Security Party under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim.

29.8	Business Days Any payment which is due to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next Business Day in the same calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

During any extension of the due date for payment of any principal or Unpaid Sum under this Agreement interest is payable on the principal or Unpaid Sum at the rate payable on the original due date.

29.9	Currency of account

29.9.1

Subject to Clauses 29.9.2 to 29.9.5, dollars is the currency of account and payment for any sum due from a Security Party under any Finance Document.

29.9.2

A repayment or payment of all or part of the Loan or an Unpaid Sum shall be made in the currency in which the Loan or Unpaid Sum is denominated on its due date.

Page 110

29.9.3

Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the sum in respect of which the interest is payable was denominated when that interest accrued.

29.9.4

Each payment in respect of costs, expenses or Taxes shall be made in the currency in which the costs, expenses or Taxes are incurred.

29.9.5

Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than dollars shall be paid in that other currency.

29.10

Control account The Agent shall open and maintain on its books a control account in the names of the Borrowers showing the advance of the Loan and the computation and payment of interest and all other sums due under this Agreement. The Borrowers' 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 29.10 and those entries will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding.

29.11

Change of currency

29.11.1

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognised by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then:

(a)

any reference in the Finance Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Finance Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Agent (after consultation with the Borrowers); and

(b)

any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognised by the central bank for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent (acting reasonably).

29.11.2

If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent (acting reasonably and after consultation with the Borrowers) specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the Relevant Interbank Market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

Set-Off

30.1

Set-off A Finance Party may set off any matured obligation due from a Security Party under the Finance Documents (to the extent beneficially owned by that Finance Party) against any matured obligation owed by that Finance Party to that Security Party, regardless of the place of payment, booking branch or currency of either obligation. If the obligations are in different currencies, the Finance Party may convert either obligation at a market rate of exchange in its usual course of business for the purpose of the set-off.

then the Borrowers may, on ten Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and, to the extent permitted by law, such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Clause 24 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Lender or other bank, financial institution, trust, fund or other entity (a "Replacement Lender") selected by the Borrowers, which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of the transferring Lender in accordance with Clause 24 (Changes to the Lenders) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's participation in the outstanding Loan and all accrued Interest Break Costs, Break Funding Costs and other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents.

(ii)

the agreement of any specified group of Lenders,

has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents, that

Page 117

Defaulting Lender's Commitment will be reduced by the amount of its participation in the Loan it has failed to make available and, to the extent that that reduction results in that Defaulting Lender's Commitment being zero, that Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of (i) and (ii).

35.5.2

in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's participation in the outstanding Loan and all accrued interest, Interest Break Costs, Break Funding Costs and other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Finance Documents; or

Section 12

Governing Law and Enforcement

40	Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by Danish law, except for Clause 26.11 (Trust), which shall be governed by English law.

41	Enforcement

41.1

Jurisdiction of Danish courts The City Court of Copenhagen (Københavns Byret) has exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including a dispute relating to the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement) (a "Dispute"). Each Party agrees that the courts of Denmark are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no Party will argue to the contrary.

This Clause 41.1 is for the benefit of the Finance Parties only. As a result, no Finance Party shall be prevented from taking proceedings relating to a Dispute in any other courts with a legitimate basis for jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by law, any Finance Party may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

41.2	Service of process

41.2.1

Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Borrower and each Guarantor;

(a)

irrevocably appoints Borrower A as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the Danish courts in connection with any Finance Document; and

(b)

agrees that failure by a process agent to notify that Borrower or that Guarantor (as the case may be) of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.

41.2.2

If any person appointed as an agent for service of process is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process or terminates its appointment as agent for service of process, the relevant Borrower or the relevant Guarantor (as the case may be) must immediately (and in any event within five days of such event taking place) appoint another agent on terms acceptable to the Agent. Failing this, the Agent may appoint another agent for this purpose.

This Agreement has been entered into on the date stated at the beginning of this Agreement.

1	Vessel and Insurance Undertakings

1.1

Insurance

1.1.1

Each Owner covenants to ensure at its own expense throughout the Facility Period that:

(a)

each Vessel owned by it remains insured against fire and all usual marine risks (including hull interest, freight interest and excess risks) and war risks (including blocking and trapping) on an agreed value basis for an amount which is the greater from time to time of (a) her full market value and (b) an amount which equals one hundred and ten per cent (110%) of the aggregate of the amount of the Appropriate Amount in respect of the Vessel. The amount of the hull and machinery marine risks for each Vessel shall at all times represent at least eighty per cent (80%) of her full market value; and

(b)

each Vessel owned by it remains entered in a protection and indemnity association which is a member of the International Group of P&I Clubs (or is otherwise approved by the Security Agent acting reasonably) in both protection and indemnity classes, or remains otherwise insured against protection and indemnity risks and liabilities (including, without limitation, protection and indemnity war risks) and for the highest amount available for vessels of her specification with a protection and indemnity association which is a member of the International Group of P&I Clubs including oil pollution liability risk; and

(c)

the Security Agent agrees that, if and for so long a Vessel may be laid up with the approval of the Security Agent, each Owner may at its own expense take out port risk insurance on the Vessels in place of hull and machinery insurance.

1.1.2

Each Owner undertakes to place the Obligatory Insurances in such markets, denominated in dollars, on such terms and conditions (always applying the terms of the Nordic Marine Insurance Plan 2013 (as amended from time to time) or such other insurance plan or conditions considered market standard, and with such brokers, underwriters and associations as the Security Agent shall have previously approved in writing or with such first class insurer with a credit rating of no less than "A-" with A.M. Best and/or "BBB" with Standard & Poor's or an equivalent rating from another rating agency of similar reputation which may be approved by the Security Agent, acting reasonably. No Owner shall alter the terms of any of the Obligatory Insurances in any material respect, and will supply the Security Agent from time to time on request with such information as the Security Agent may in its discretion require with regard to the Obligatory Insurances and the brokers, underwriters or associations through or with which the Obligatory Insurances are placed. Each Owner

Page 149

shall reimburse the Security Agent on demand for all costs and expenses incurred by the Security Agent in obtaining from time to time a report on the adequacy of the Obligatory Insurances, including as set out in Clause 1.1.5 of this Schedule 11 from an insurance adviser instructed by the Security Agent. Each Owner shall be liable to pay (or reimburse the Security Agent) for no more than one such report per year, unless (i) such report is obtained in connection with the occurrence of and Event of Default or (ii) there has been a material change to the Insurances, including as set out in Clause 1.1.5 of this Schedule 11.

1.1.3

Each Owner undertakes duly and punctually to pay all premiums, calls and contributions, and all other sums at any time payable in connection with the Obligatory Insurances, and, at its own expense, to arrange and provide any guarantees from time to time required by any protection and indemnity or war risks association. From time to time at the Security Agent's request, each Owner will provide the Security Agent with evidence satisfactory to the Security Agent that such premiums, calls, contributions and other sums have been duly and punctually paid; that any such guarantees have been duly given; and that all declarations and notices required by the terms of any of the Obligatory Insurances to be made or given by or on behalf of each Owner to brokers, underwriters or associations have been duly and punctually made or given.

1.1.4

Each Owner will comply in all respects with all terms and conditions of the Obligatory Insurances and will make all such declarations to brokers, underwriters and associations as may be required to enable the Vessel to operate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Obligatory Insurances. No Owner will do, or permit to be done, any act, or make, or permit to be made, any omission, as a result of which any of the Obligatory Insurances may become liable to be suspended, cancelled or avoided, or may become unenforceable, or as a result of which any sums payable under or in connection with any of the Obligatory Insurances may be reduced or become liable to be repaid or rescinded in whole or in part. In particular, but without limitation, no Owner will permit the Vessels owned by it to be employed other than in conformity with the Obligatory Insurances without first taking out additional insurance cover in respect of that employment in all respects to the satisfaction of the Security Agent, and each Owner will notify the Security Agent without undue delay of any material new requirement imposed by any broker, underwriter or association in relation to any of the Obligatory Insurances.

1.1.5

Each Owner will, no later than the day of the expiry of any of the Obligatory Insurances, renew them and shall immediately give the Security Agent such details of those renewals as the Security Agent may require. In the event that the Obligatory Insurances are not placed on the terms of the Nordic Marine Insurance Plan 2013 upon their renewal, the Security Agent shall, at the cost of each Owner, have the right to obtain a report on the adequacy of the Obligatory Insurances from an insurance adviser instructed by the Security Agent.

Page 150

1.1.6

Each Owner shall reimburse the Security Agent the costs, premiums and expenses of taking out and keeping in force the Mortgagees' Insurances in relation to each Vessel for an amount which equals one hundred and ten per cent (110%) of the Appropriate Amount of such Vessel then outstanding. Such insurance can be taken out by the relevant Owner if the Security Agent so agrees (acting reasonably).

1.1.7

Each Owner shall, at its own cost, take out such additional insurances as may from time to time be required by any public body, classification society or other similar entity having authority over each Owner or the Vessels owned by it.

1.1.8

Each Owner shall deliver to the Security Agent extracts (and, if required by the Security Agent, pro-forma originals) of all policies and certificates of entry (including, if required by the Security Agent receipts for premiums, calls or contributions and other documents relating to the Insurances) and shall procure that letters of undertaking in such form as the Security Agent (acting reasonably) may approve shall be issued to the Security Agent by the brokers through which the Insurances are placed (or, in the case of protection and indemnity or war risks associations, by their managers). If a Vessel is at any time during the Facility Period insured under any form of fleet cover, the relevant Owner shall (if possible) procure that those letters of undertaking contain confirmation that the brokers, underwriters or association (as the case may be) will not set off claims relating to that Vessel against premiums, calls or contributions in respect of any other vessel or other insurance, and that the insurance cover of that Vessel will not be cancelled by reason of non-payment of premiums, calls or contributions relating to any other vessel or other insurance. Failing receipt of those confirmations, the relevant Owner will (if required by the Security Agent (acting reasonably)) instruct the brokers, underwriters or association concerned to issue a separate policy or certificate for that Vessel in the sole name of the relevant Owner or of such Owner's brokers as agents for such Owner.

1.1.9

Each Owner shall promptly provide the Security Agent with full information regarding any Major Casualty.

1.1.10

Each Owner agrees that:

(a)

at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Security Agent shall be entitled to collect, xxx for, recover and give a good discharge for all claims in respect of any of the Insurances; to pay collecting brokers the customary commission on all sums collected in respect of those claims; to compromise all such claims or refer them to arbitration or any other form of judicial or non-judicial determination; and otherwise to deal with such claims in such manner as the Security Agent shall in its discretion think fit;

(b)

whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, the proceeds of any claim under any of the Insurances

Page 151

in respect of a Total Loss shall be paid to the Security Agent and applied by the Security Agent in accordance with Clause 7.6; and

(c)

all sums paid under the Insurances to anyone other than the Security Agent shall be applied in repairing the damage and/or discharging the liability in respect of which they have been paid except to the extent that the repairs have already been paid for and/or the liability already discharged.

1.1.11

The Security Agent agrees that any amounts which may become due under any protection and indemnity entry or insurance shall be paid to the relevant Owner to reimburse such Owner for, and in discharge of, the loss, damage or expense in respect of which they shall have become due, unless, at the time the amount in question becomes due, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event the Security Agent shall be entitled to receive the amounts in question and to apply them either in reduction of the Indebtedness or, at the option of the Security Agent, to the discharge of the liability in respect of which they were paid.

1.1.12

Each Owner agrees that:

(a)

no Owner shall settle, compromise or abandon any claim under or in connection with any of the Insurances (other than a claim of less than the Threshold Amount arising other than from a Total Loss) without the prior written consent of the Security Agent;

(b)

if an Owner fails to effect or keep in force the Obligatory Insurances, the Security Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) effect and/or keep in force such insurances on the Vessel and such entries in protection and indemnity or war risks associations as the Security Agent in its discretion considers desirable, and the Security Agent may (but shall not be obliged to) pay any unpaid premiums, calls or contributions; and

(c)

each Owner will reimburse the Security Agent from time to time on demand for all such premiums, calls or contributions paid by the Security Agent, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date of payment by the Security Agent until the date of reimbursement.

1.1.13

Each Owner shall:

(a)

comply with all Environmental Laws;

(b)

obtain, maintain and ensure compliance with all requisite Environmental Approvals; and

(c)

implement procedures to monitor compliance with and to prevent liability under any Environmental Law,

where failure to do so has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Page 152

1.1.14

Each Owner shall comply with the requirements of the United States Oil Pollution Act 1990 (the "Act") if a Vessel owned by it is to trade in the United States of America and Exclusive Economic Zone (as defined in the Act). Before any such trade is commenced and during the entire period during which such trade is carried on, the relevant Owner shall:

(a)

pay any additional premiums required to maintain protection and indemnity cover for oil pollution up to the limit available to that Owner for the relevant Vessel in the market; and

(b)

make all such quarterly or other voyage declarations as may from time to time be required by the relevant Vessel's protection and indemnity association in order to maintain such cover, and, if required by the Security Agent, promptly deliver to the Security Agent copies of such declarations; and

(c)

submit the relevant Vessel to such additional periodic, classification, structural or other surveys which may be required by the relevant Vessel's protection and indemnity insurers to maintain cover for such trade and, if required by the Security Agent, promptly deliver to the Security Agent copies of reports made in respect of such surveys; and

(d)

implement any recommendations contained in the reports issued following the surveys referred to in Clause 1.1.14(c) within the relevant time limits, and, if required by the Security Agent, provide evidence satisfactory to the Security Agent that the protection and indemnity insurers are satisfied that this has been done; and

1.1.15

in addition to the foregoing (if such trade is in the United States of America and Exclusive Economic Zone):

(a)

obtain and retain a certificate of financial responsibility under the Act in form and substance satisfactory to the United States Coast Guard and, if required by the Security Agent, provide the Security Agent with evidence of the same; and

(b)

procure that the protection and indemnity insurances do not contain a US Trading Exclusion Clause or any other analogous provision and, if required by the Security Agent, provide the Security Agent with evidence that this is so; and

(c)

comply strictly with any operational or structural regulations issued from time to time by any relevant authorities under the Act so that at all times the relevant Vessel falls within the provisions which limit strict liability under the Act for oil pollution.

1.2	Operation and Maintenance

Each Owner undertakes towards the Security Agent:

Page 153

1.2.1

to keep each Vessel owned by it seaworthy and in a state of repair consistent with prudent ownership and sound ship management practice; and

1.2.2

1.2.6

1.2.7

to permit the Security Agent and all persons appointed by the Security Agent to board each Vessel owned by it from time to time during the Facility Period (without materially interfering with the relevant Vessel’s trading or operation) to inspect such Vessel's state and condition, with only one such inspection each calendar year being at the expense of the Owner, and, if such Vessel shall not be in a state and condition which complies with the requirements of this Agreement, to effect such repairs as shall in the opinion of the Security Agent be desirable to ensure such compliance, without prejudice to the Security Agent's other rights under or pursuant to the relevant Mortgage or this Agreement; and

1.2.8

immediately to notify the Security Agent of any arrest or detention of any Vessel owned by it, and to cause such Vessel to be released from arrest or detention as quickly as possible, and in any event within sixty (60) days from the date of arrest or detention and immediately to notify the Security Agent in the same manner of the release of such Vessel; and

1.2.9

from time to time on request of the Security Agent to produce to the Security Agent written evidence satisfactory to the Security Agent confirming that the master and crew of each Vessel owned by it have no claims for wages beyond the ordinary arrears and that the master has no claim for disbursements other than those properly incurred by him in the

Page 154

ordinary course of trading of such Vessel on the voyage then in progress; and

1.2.10
