13. FATCA APPLICATION

13.1 FATCA Deduction by a Finance Party

(a) 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 Finance Party is 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. If a Finance

28

Party becomes aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to another Party (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction) it must notify that Party and the Facility Agent.

(b) If the Facility Agent is required to make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Finance Party under the Finance Documents that relates to a payment by the Borrower, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower will be increased to an amount that (after the Facility Agent has made such FATCA Deduction), leaves the Facility Agent with an amount equal to the payment that would have been made by the Facility Agent if no FATCA Deduction had been required.

(c) The Facility Agent must promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Finance Party under the Finance Documents that relates to a payment by the Borrower (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such a FATCA Deduction) notify the Borrower and relevant Finance Party.

(d) Subject to paragraph (e), the Borrower must (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) pay to a Finance Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Finance Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered by that Finance Party as a result of another Finance Party making a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment due to it under a Finance Document. This paragraph does not apply to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under paragraph (b) above.

(e) Paragraph (d) shall only apply if and to the extent the Borrower becomes a FATCA FFI or a US Tax Obligor.

(f) A Finance Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (d) above must promptly notify the Facility Agent of the FATCA Deduction that will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent must notify the Borrower.

(g) A Finance Party must, on receiving a payment from the Borrower under this Clause, notify the Facility Agent.

13.2 Tax Credit and FATCA

If the Borrower makes a FATCA Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:

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

(b) that Finance Party has obtained and used that Tax Credit,

then that Finance Party must pay an amount to the Borrower 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 FATCA Payment not been required to be made by the Borrower.

14. FATCA INFORMATION

14.1 FATCA confirmation

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Party must, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(A) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(B) not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

29

(ii) 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 relevant 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; and

(iii) supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

(b) If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above 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 must notify that other Party promptly.

(c) A Finance Party is not obliged to do anything under paragraph (a) above, and no other Party is obliged to do anything under paragraph (a)(iii) above, in each case, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(i) any law or regulation;

(ii) any fiduciary duty; or

(iii) any duty of confidentiality.

14.2 Failure to confirm FATCA status

If a Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with Clause 14.1(a) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where Clause 14.1(c) (FATCA confirmation) applies), then:

(a) if that Party failed to confirm whether it is (or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such Party is to be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made under them) 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 is to be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made under them) as if its applicable passthru percentage is 100%,

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

(a) so long as, and to the extent that any such Lender (the Existing Lender) assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of any interest or rights, the assignee or transferee (the New Lender) provides a satisfactory Certificate of Transfer Undertaking (as conclusively determined by the Facility Agent) to the Administrative Agents, the Lenders and the Borrower that it shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Finance Documents and shall be under the same obligations (matching the rights assigned or transferred) towards the Facility Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower as it would have been under if it had originally been a Party to this Agreement;

(b) provided that the Finance Parties and the Borrower shall not be obliged to recognise the New Lender as having rights against any of them until such satisfactory Certificate of Transfer Undertaking referred to in paragraph (a) is obtained from the New Lender whereupon the Existing Lender shall be relieved of those obligations corresponding to the rights so assigned or transferred;

(d) Each Party (other than the Existing Lender and the New Lender) irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to enter into and deliver any duly completed Assignment Agreement on its behalf.

(e) Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this Clause 21.5 (Procedure for assignment) to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the Borrower or unless in accordance with Clause 21.4 (Procedure for transfer), to obtain a release by the Borrower from the obligations owed to the Borrower by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in in Clauses 21.2 (Assignment by the Lenders) and 21.3 (Conditions to assignment by the Lenders).

(a) any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time will continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (Accrued Amounts) and will become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period; and

21.8 Resignation and termination of appointment of an Administrative Agent

(a) An Administrative Agent may, subject to consultation with the Borrower, resign by giving 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower, in which case the Majority Lenders may appoint a successor Administrative Agent.

(ii) the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to Clause 14 (FATCA Information) indicates that the Facility Agent will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

50

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

(f) An Administrative Agent who is retiring or whose appointment has been terminated pursuant to this Clause 21.8 (the Retiring Administrative Agent) shall, at its own cost, make available to the successor Administrative Agent such documents and records and provide such assistance as the successor Administrative Agent may reasonably require for the purposes of performing its functions as Administrative Agent under the Finance Documents.

(g) Where the circumstances leading to an Administrative Agent becoming incapable of performing its obligations hereunder as an Administrative Agent and therefore being required to resign pursuant to paragraph (d) may be attributed to such Administrative Agent’s own acts or omissions, that Administrative Agent shall be liable for any loss or damage caused to the Lenders as a result of it becoming incapable of performing its obligations hereunder as an Administrative Agent.

(h) Upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, the Retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents but shall remain entitled to the benefit of this paragraph (h). Any successor Administrative 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 to this Agreement.

(a) until such assignee or transferee has agreed in writing with the Lenders and the Borrower that it has assumed the obligations of the existing Facility Agent or Security Agent (as applicable) under this Agreement and the Finance Documents whereupon the existing Facility Agent or Security Agent (as applicable) shall be released from all of its obligations hereunder and the successor and each of the Parties shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if such successor had originally been a Party as Facility Agent or Security Agent (as applicable) from the date of this Agreement; and

(b) unless:

(i) such assignment or transfer is with the Borrower’s prior written consent; or

(ii) an Event of Default is continuing.

(e) For the purposes of paragraph (d) only, the Borrower hereby undertakes to pay to the Security Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing by it to any Lender or the Facility Agent in respect of the Secured Obligations as and when the same fall due for payment by it under the Finance Documents (the Parallel Debt) so that the Security Agent shall be an obligee of such covenant to pay and the Security Agent shall be entitled to claim performance thereof in its own name and not only as Security Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders. The Parallel Debt owed by the Borrower (i) shall be decreased to the extent that the Secured Obligations to which such Parallel Debt corresponds have been decreased under and in accordance with the Finance Documents and vice versa; and (ii) shall not exceed the aggregate of the Secured Obligations owed by the Borrower. The Security Agent agrees with the other Finance Parties that it will not exercise its rights as creditor of the Parallel Debt except in accordance with this Agreement.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement constitutes the Security Agent as an agent, trustee or fiduciary of any Obligor.

(g) Each of the Security Agent and any Receiver may, at any time, delegate by power of attorney or otherwise to any person for any period, all or any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it in its capacity as such.

22.3 Acceptance

By its signature to this Agreement each Administrative Agent accepts its appointment as set out in this Clause 22.

22.4 Authority

Any action taken by an Administrative Agent under or in relation to the Finance Documents with requisite authority, or on the basis of appropriate instructions, received from the Lenders (or as otherwise duly authorised) shall be binding on the Lenders.

23. PAYMENTS BY THE FACILITY AGENT – LIMITED RECOURSE

23.1 Payments to Lenders

Subject to Clause 23.2 (Limited recourse), the Facility Agent will pay the Lenders amounts in respect of their participations in the Loans on the dates and otherwise on the terms set out in this Clause 23 (Payments by the Facility Agent – Limited Recourse).

23.2 Limited recourse

The obligation of the Facility Agent to pay the Lenders the Relevant Percentage of a Repayment Instalment or any other Remittance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is conditional upon the Facility Agent having received the corresponding payment from the Borrower pursuant to the relevant Finance Document. The Lenders shall have no recourse to the Facility Agent in the event of any failure by the Borrower to make any such payments, except if such a failure by the Borrower is caused by fraud, gross negligence or wilful default on the part of the Facility Agent. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that the primary credit risk assumed by the Lenders in relation to their participation in each Loan (and their entry into this Agreement) is that of the Borrower.

53

23.3 Distribution of Remittances to Lender

Subject to Clause 23.2 (Limited recourse), whenever the Facility Agent:

(a) has actually received a payment from the Borrower in respect of a Remittance; and

(b) is entitled to apply the amount received in such manner,

the Facility Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender its Relevant Percentage of such payment.

23.4 Application of moneys

(a) For the purposes of this Clause 23, if the Facility Agent obtains a partial or total payment of any amount due from the Borrower in respect of any Remittance by virtue of the Borrower being entitled to a set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or any security or other payment and actually applies the amount of such payment in or towards satisfaction of amounts due to the Facility Agent in respect of that Remittance, the amount of such partial or total payment so applied will be treated for the purposes of this Clause 23 as if an actual payment of such amount had been received from the Borrower, but without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 24 (Refund of Payments and Further Payments by the Lenders).

(b) Any sums received by the Facility Agent for application in accordance with this Clause 23.4 shall be credited to a suspense account and held by the Facility Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pro rata according to their Relevant Percentages hereunder but shall not be treated as having been received by the Facility Agent for the purposes of this Clause 23 unless and until such sums are appropriated by the Facility Agent in or towards payment in respect of that Remittance.

23.5 Reduction in payments

Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in the event that the Borrower fails to pay in full in respect of any amount due to the Facility Agent pursuant to the relevant Finance Document on the due date relating thereto, for any reasons whatsoever, the obligation of the Facility Agent to make the payments referred to in this Clause 23 to the Lenders shall be reduced pro rata by the shortfall in the payment received by the Facility Agent.

23.6 Order of application

(a) All amounts from time to time received or recovered by the Security Agent pursuant to the terms of any Finance Document or in connection with the realisation or enforcement of all or any part of the Transaction Security shall be held by the Security Agent on trust or as agent (as applicable in accordance with Clause 22.2 (Appointment of Security Agent)) for the Finance Parties and transferred promptly to the Facility Agent for application in accordance with paragraph (b).

54

(b) All moneys from time to time received or recovered by the Facility Agent in each case in connection with the realisation or enforcement of the Finance Documents (for itself and/or on behalf of the Lenders) shall be held by the Facility Agent and be applied, (unless instructed to the contrary by the Lenders) in the following order of priority:

(i) in discharging (pro rata) any sums (including reimbursement of any fees, costs and other expenses) owing to the Facility Agent, the Security Agent or any Receiver under the Finance Documents;

(ii) in discharging all costs and expenses incurred by any Finance Party in connection with any realisation or enforcement of the Transaction Security taken in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents;

(iii) in payment to the Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement for application towards the discharge of all sums due and payable by the Obligors under the Finance Documents; and

(iv) the balance, if any, in payment to the Obligors or any other person so entitled.

23.7 Investment of proceeds

Prior to the application of the proceeds of the Finance Documents in accordance with Clause 23.6 (Order of application), the Facility Agent or Security Agent (as applicable) may, at its discretion, after informing and obtaining the consent of all of the Lenders, hold all or part of those proceeds in a suspense or impersonal account(s) in the name of that Administrative Agent with such financial institution (including itself) for so long as such Administrative Agent shall reasonably think fit (any interest or return on any such account earned being credited to the relevant account) pending the application from time to time of those monies at such Administrative Agent’s discretion in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 23.

23.8 Permitted deductions

The Facility Agent shall be entitled to:

(a) set aside by way of reserve amounts required to meet; and

(b) make and pay,

any deductions and withholdings (on account of Taxes or otherwise) that it is or may be required by any applicable law to make from any distribution or payment made by it under this Agreement, and to pay all Taxes which may be assessed against it in respect of the Finance Documents or as a consequence of performing its duties, or by virtue of its capacity as Facility Agent under any of the Finance Documents or otherwise (other than in connection with its remuneration for performing its duties under this Agreement).

23.9 Discharge of Borrower’s obligations

(a) Any irrevocable and unconditional payment made to the Facility Agent in respect of the Borrower’s obligations by the Borrower under or pursuant to any Finance Document shall be a good discharge to the extent of such payment, and must be applied by the Facility Agent in accordance with Clause 23.6 (Order of application).

(b) Subject to Clause 24.1 (Refund of payments) each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that payment by the Borrower to the Facility Agent of the Repayment Instalment (or any part thereof) in accordance with the relevant Finance Documents will, subject to any deductions made by the Facility Agent from such amount pursuant to Clause 23.8 (Permitted deductions) irrevocably and unconditionally satisfy the Borrower’s obligations to pay such Repayment Instalment (or such amount as is actually paid in accordance with the relevant Finance Documents).

55

23.10 Sums received by the Borrower

If the Borrower receives any sum which, pursuant to any of the Finance Documents, should have been paid to an Administrative Agent, that sum shall be held by the Borrower as agent for and on behalf of the Facility Agent and the Lenders and shall promptly be paid to the Facility Agent for application in accordance with this Clause 23.

24. REFUND OF PAYMENTS AND FURTHER PAYMENTS BY THE LENDERS

24.1 Refund of payments

If at any time the Facility Agent becomes obliged to:

(a) repay to any liquidator, trustee or other person all or part of an amount previously paid to the Facility Agent by the Borrower (the Relevant Receipt); or

(b) indemnify any liquidator, trustee or other person in respect of a Relevant Receipt,

then:

(i) the Facility Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the relevant circumstances and of the amount (the Excess Amount) to be repaid by the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, to be paid by way of indemnity by the Facility Agent;

(ii) each Lender shall on demand pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal to its Relevant Percentage of the Excess Amount together with an amount equal to its Relevant Percentage of any default interest, costs, charges or expenses that the Facility Agent shall have become liable to pay in respect of such Excess Amount; and

(iii) any amount subsequently payable to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement on the basis of the Relevant Receipt shall be adjusted accordingly.

24.2 Insolvency

If, in connection with any moratorium, rescheduling, refinancing, suspension of payments or other similar arrangement or circumstance affecting any Remittance:

(a) the Remittance (or equivalent amount) is paid in whole or in part but the obligation of the Borrower in respect of the amount paid is substituted by any other payment obligation; and/or

(b) any sum is paid into a blocked account or in non-convertible currency in or towards discharge or purported discharge of the Remittance or any part thereof; and/or

(c) the Facility Agent is obliged to provide funds in addition to the amount of the Loans, whether to the Borrower or any other person,

then:

(i) any such payment obligation as is referred to in paragraph (a) shall be treated as between the Lenders and the Facility Agent in the same way as the relevant Remittance as if such obligation had been originally contained in the relevant Finance Document for the purpose of ascertaining the right (if any) of the Lenders to receive subsequent payments under Clause 23 (Payments by the Facility Agent – Limited Recourse);

56

(ii) the Facility Agent will (at the request and cost of a Lender) assign to the Lenders the Relevant Percentage of the Facility Agent’s rights to any such blocked account or non-convertible currency as is referred to in paragraph (b); and /or

(iii) in the case of paragraph (c), each Lender shall be obliged to pay to the Facility Agent on demand an amount equal to its Relevant Percentage of such additional funds by way of further deposits in accordance with the provisions, mutatis mutandis, of Clause 6.2 (Lenders’ participation).

24.3 Sharing Among the Finance Parties

(a) If any amount owing by the Borrower under the Finance Documents to a Finance Party (the Sharing Finance Party) is discharged by voluntary or involuntary payment, set-off or any other manner other than through the Facility Agent (in accordance with this Agreement), then:

(i) the Sharing Finance Party shall immediately notify the Facility Agent of the amount discharged (the Discharged Amount) and the manner of its receipt or recovery;

(ii) the Sharing Finance Party shall pay the Facility Agent an amount equal to the Discharged Amount within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent;

(iii) the Facility Agent shall distribute the Discharged Amount in accordance with this Agreement; and

(iv) the amount owed by the Borrower under the Finance Documents shall be adjusted accordingly.

(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), no Sharing Finance Party shall be obliged to share any Discharged Amount which it receives or recovers pursuant to legal proceedings taken by it to recover any sums owing to it under the Finance Documents with any other Finance Party which had a legal right to, but declined to, either join in such proceedings or commence and diligently pursue separate proceedings to enforce its rights, unless the proceedings instituted by the Sharing Finance Party are instituted by it without prior notice having been given to such other Finance Party and without an opportunity having been given to such other Finance Party to join in such proceedings.

(c) If any Discharged Amount subsequently has to be wholly or partly refunded to the Borrower by a Sharing Finance Party which has paid an amount equal to that Discharged Amount to the Facility Agent under paragraph (a), each Finance Party to which any part of that amount was distributed shall, on request from the Sharing Finance Party, repay to the Sharing Finance Party that Finance Party’s proportionate share of the amount which has to be so refunded by the Sharing Finance Party.

(d) Each Finance Party shall on request supply to the Facility Agent such information as the Facility Agent may from time to time request for the purpose of this Clause 24.3.

1.3 Substitute Owner. The Charterer agrees that (i) if the Security Agent shall notify the Charterer that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that the Security Agent has elected to exercise the rights and remedies set forth in the Finance Documents, then the Security Agent or its designee (which may be or include a receiver appointed in respect of the Guarantor or a person nominated by the Security Agent or a special purpose company created for the purpose of acquiring the Vessel or a third-party purchaser of the Vessel) which, in any such case, elects to assume the Guarantor’s obligations under the Charter (the “Substitute Owner”) shall be substituted for the Guarantor under the Charter; and (ii) in such event, the Charterer shall (without prejudice to Article 1.4 below) recognise the Substitute Owner and shall continue to perform its obligations under the Charter in favor of the Substitute Owner, provided that (x) the Security Agent shall give the Charterer not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the intended transfer and details of the proposed Substitute Owner; (y) in the opinion of the Charterer (acting reasonably and without undue delay), the proposed Substitute Owner (and the third-party vessel manager to be employed by the proposed Substitute Owner, if any) shall have the legal capacity and the financial resources and expertise to own and operate the Vessel and, without limitation, to perform the Guarantor’s obligations under the Charter; and (z) such proposed Substitute Owner shall have undertaken to the Charterer in writing to remedy as soon as practicable any outstanding defaults of the Guarantor under the Charter. The Charterer agrees that it will, at no cost to it, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Security Agent or the Substitute Owner to give effect to any substitution to be effected in accordance with this Article 1.3 and the Security Agent agrees that all documented costs and expenses (including legal costs) reasonably and properly incurred by the Charterer in connection with this Article 1.3 shall be for the account of the Security Agent.

80

1.4 Preservation of Charterer’s Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Consent, any disposal of the Vessel by the Security Agent to a Substitute Owner in accordance with Article 1.3 shall not prejudice the Charterer’s rights under the Charter accruing before or after the date of such disposal, including, without limitation, any right that the Charterer may then have to terminate the Charter. If the Security Agent exercises its rights under Article 1.3 above to dispose of the Vessel to a Substitute Owner during the term of the Charter, the Security Agent shall comply with the conditions set out in Article 1.1 above and shall (subject to any requirements or restrictions imposed by any applicable law in relation to disposal of the Vessel) dispose of the Vessel expressly subject to the Charter. The Security Agent shall procure that the Substitute Owner (and any other person providing financing to the Substitute Owner for the purposes of the acquisition by the Substitute Owner of the Vessel) issues an undertaking to the Charterer on substantially the same terms as the undertaking granted by the Security Agent in Article 1.1 above.

1.5 Right to Cure. In the event of a default or breach by the Guarantor in the performance of any of its obligations under the Charter, or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition under the Charter that would immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, enable the Charterer to suspend or terminate the Charter (a “Default”), the Charterer shall not suspend or terminate the Charter until it first gives written notice of such Default to the Security Agent or its designee and affords such party a period of thirty (30) days to cure the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or termination rights.

1.6 No Termination or Assignment. Except to the extent permitted in the Charter, the Charterer agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Security Agent, (i) enter into or agree to any consensual suspension, cancellation, or termination of the Charter, or (ii) assign or otherwise transfer any of its right, title or interest under the Charter save as permitted under the Charter.

1.7 Replacement Agreement. In the event that the Charter is terminated as a result of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or other similar proceeding affecting the Guarantor, the Charterer shall, at the option of the Security Agent, enter into a new agreement with the Security Agent or its transferee or nominee (the “Replacement Owner”) on terms substantially the same as the terms of the Charter. In such event, the Security Agent (or, as the case may be, the Replacement Owner) shall comply with the provisions of Article 1.3 (x), (y) and (z) which shall apply for the purposes of this Article 1.7 as if the words “proposed Substitute Owner” have been replaced by the words “proposed Replacement Owner”.

1.8 No Liability. The Charterer acknowledges and agrees that neither the Security Agent nor its designees nor any of the Finance Parties shall have any liability or obligation under the Charter as a result of this Consent, nor shall the Security Agent or its designees be obligated or required to (i) perform any of the Guarantor’s obligations under the Charter, except during any period in which the Security Agent or its designee is a Substitute Owner under the Charter pursuant to Article 1.3 or a Replacement Owner under the Charter pursuant to Article 1.7, in which case the obligations of such Substitute Owner or Replacement Owner shall be no more onerous than those of the Guarantor under the Charter for such period (unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Guarantor and the Security Agent or the Substitute Owner or the Replacement Owner); or (ii) take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned under the Finance Documents.

1.9 Guarantor’s Undertaking. The Guarantor undertakes to the Charterer that it shall not make any claim against the Vessel and/or the Charterer arising from any transfer or novation of the Charter to the Security Agent or any Substitute Owner or from the entry into a new agreement by the Charterer with a Replacement Owner. The Security Agent acknowledges that delivery by the Guarantor of a notice in writing to the Charterer stating that the Guarantor has no claim, and has no intention of making such a claim, against the Vessel and/or the Charterer which may arise from such transfer or novation or from the entry into a new agreement shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any transfer, novation or new agreement.

81

1.10 Delivery of Notices. The Charterer shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to deliver to the Security Agent and its designees, concurrently with the delivery thereof to the Guarantor, a copy of any notice of suspension or termination given by the Charterer to the Guarantor under the Charter.

1.11 Delivery of Financial Statements. On or prior to the date hereof, the Charterer has delivered to the Security Agent a copy of its annual audited financial statement (“Financial Statement”) for its most recent fiscal year. Within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the close of each of its fiscal years, the Charterer shall upon request deliver to the Security Agent its annual audited financial statements, prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”).

1.12 Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that the Charterer may now or hereafter have or acquire any immunity (including sovereign immunity) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, the Charterer hereby waives such immunity with respect to all of its obligations under this Consent and the Charter.

1.13 Registration of Interest. To the extent permitted by applicable law and by the Registrar of Ships for vessels registered on the Commonwealth of The Bahamas Ship Register, the terms of the undertaking contained in Article 1.1 above, shall be included in the Mortgage and shall form part of the terms and conditions of the Mortgage. Upon registration of the Mortgage, the Security Agent agrees to request that the Registrar of Ships for vessels registered on the Commonwealth of The Bahamas Ship Register make a note of such undertaking in the Vessel’s register.

ARTICLE 2. – PAYMENTS UNDER THE CHARTER

The Charterer shall pay all amounts payable by it to the Guarantor under the Charter in the manner required by the Charter directly into the account specified on Exhibit A hereto, or to such other person or account as shall be specified from time to time by the Security Agent to the Charterer in writing in accordance with Article 4.1. Should the Charterer receive a notice from the Security Agent asking the Charterer to make payments to an alternative account in accordance with this Article 2, the Guarantor shall pay to the Charterer any net increase in payment costs incurred by the Charterer as a result of making such payments into such alternative account.
