18. GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

18.1 Guarantee and indemnity

The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) guarantees to each Finance Party and the Hedging Banks punctual performance by the Borrowers of all the Borrowers' obligations under the Finance Documents and any Hedging Agreement.

(b) undertakes with each Finance Party and the Hedging Banks that whenever a Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document and any Hedging Agreement, it shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(c) agrees with each Finance Party and the Hedging Banks 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 or Hedging Banks immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of the Borrowers not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document and any Hedging Agreement on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by the relevant Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and indemnity) if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee;

Page 47 of 111

provided, however, that the maximum guarantee liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall always be limited to USD 106,500,000 plus (i) any interest, default interest, Break Cost or other costs, fees and expenses related to the Borrowers' obligations under the Finance Documents and any Hedging Agreement and (ii) any default interest or other costs, fees and expenses related to the liability of the relevant Guarantor hereunder.

18.2 Continuing guarantee

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents and any Hedging Agreement, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

18.3 Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party or the Hedging Banks in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of the Guarantor under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and indemnity) will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.

18.4 Waiver of defences

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

(a) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, the Borrowers or other person;

(b) the release of the Borrowers or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of the Borrowers;

(c) 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, a Borrower 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;

(d) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of the Borrowers or any other person;

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

(f) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document, any Hedging Agreement or any other document or security; or

(g) any insolvency or similar proceedings.

Page 48 of 111

18.5 Immediate recourse

The Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party or the Hedging Banks (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 Guarantor under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and indemnity). This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document and any Hedging Agreement to the contrary.

18.6 Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrowers under or in connection with the Finance Documents and any Hedging Agreement have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party and the Hedging Banks (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:

(a) refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party or Hedging Banks (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 Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

(b) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from the Guarantor or on account of the Guarantor's liability under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and indemnity).

18.7 Deferral of the Guarantor's rights

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Borrowers under or in connection with the Finance Documents and any Hedging Agreement have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Agent otherwise directs, the Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by them of their obligations under the Finance Documents and any Hedging Agreement or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 18 (Guarantee and indemnity):

(a) to be indemnified by the Borrowers;

(b) to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of the Borrowers' obligations under the Finance Documents or any Hedging Agreement;

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

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

(e) to exercise any right of set-off against the Borrowers; and/or

(f) to claim or prove as a creditor of the Borrowers in competition with any Finance Party or the Hedging Banks.

Page 49 of 111

If the Guarantor receives any benefit, payment or distribution in relation to such rights it 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 and the Hedging Banks by the Borrowers under or in connection with the Finance Documents and any Hedging Agreement to be repaid in full on trust for the Finance Parties and the Hedging Banks and shall promptly pay or transfer the same to the Agent or as the Agent may direct for application in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment mechanics).

SECTION 9

CHANGES TO PARTIES

25. CHANGES TO THE LENDERS

25.1 Assignments and transfers by the Lenders

Subject to this Clause 25 (Changes to the Lenders), a Lender (the "Existing Lender") may assign and transfer any of its rights and/or obligations hereunder to another bank or financial institution or to a trust, fund 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 (the "New Lender"), provided that no assignment or transfer can be made to an Obligor or any of their Affiliates.

The Lenders shall notify the Borrowers of any proposed assignment or transfer, unless an Event of Default has occurred.

The consent of the Borrowers is required for an assignment or transfer by an Existing Lender, unless the assignment or transfer is:

(a) to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;

(b) to a Central Bank, Federal Reserve or to another state-owned entity; or

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

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

25.2 Conditions of assignment or transfer

(a) An assignment or a transfer requiring the Borrowers' consent shall only be effective (i) on receipt by the Agent of (x) written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent) that the New Lender shall assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Existing Lender and (y) all required know your customer documentation,  (ii) on the New Lender’s payment of a transfer fee of USD 5,000 to the Agent and (iii) if the Commitment that is to be transferred to a New Lender is in the minimum amount of USD 10,000,000.

(b) A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in Clause 25.4 (Procedure for transfer) is complied with.

(c) If:

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

(ii) as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, the Borrowers or the Guarantor 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),

Page 73 of 111

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 paragraph (c) shall not apply in respect of an assignment or transfer made in the ordinary course of the primary syndication of the Facility.

(d) Each New Lender, by executing the relevant Transfer Certificate, 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.

25.3 Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders

(a) Unless expressly agreed to the contrary, an Existing Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility to a New Lender for:

(i) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the Finance Documents or any other documents;

(ii) the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii) the performance and observance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or any other documents; or

(iv) the accuracy of any statements (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Finance Document or any other document,

and any representations or warranties implied by law are excluded.

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

(i) has made (and shall continue to make) its own independent investigation and assessment of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor 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 Finance Document; and

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

(c) Nothing in any Finance Document obliges an Existing Lender to:

(i) accept a re-transfer or re-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights and obligations assigned or transferred under this Clause 25 (Changes to the Lenders); or

(ii) support any losses directly or indirectly incurred by the New Lender by reason of the non-performance by any Obligor of its obligations under the Finance Documents or otherwise.

Page 74 of 111

25.4 Procedure for transfer

(a) Subject to the conditions set out in Clause 25.2 (Conditions of assignment or transfer) a transfer is effected in accordance with paragraph (c) below 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 paragraph (b) below, 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.

(b) The Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate 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 other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the transfer to such New Lender.

(c) Subject to Clause 25.6 (Pro rata interest settlement), on the Transfer Date:

(i) 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 of the Obligors and the Existing Lender shall be released from further obligations towards one another under the Finance Documents and their respective rights against one another under the Finance Documents shall be cancelled (being the "Discharged Rights and Obligations");

(ii) each of the Obligors and the New Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from the Discharged Rights and Obligations only insofar as that Obligor and the New Lender have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of that Obligor and the Existing Lender;

(iii) the Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, 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 Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Existing Lender shall each be released from further obligations to each other under the Finance Documents; and

(iv) the New Lender shall become a Party as a "Lender".

25.5 Copy of Transfer Certificate to the Borrowers

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate, send to the Borrowers a copy of that Transfer Certificate.

25.6 Pro rata interest settlement

If the Agent has notified the Lenders that it is able to distribute interest payments on a "pro rata basis" to Existing Lenders and New Lenders then (in respect of any transfer pursuant to Clause 25.4 (Procedure for transfer) the Transfer Date of which, in each case, is after the date of such notification and is not on the last day of an Interest Period):

Page 75 of 111

(a) any interest or fees in respect of the relevant participation which are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favour of the Existing Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date ("Accrued Amounts") and shall become due and payable to the Existing Lender (without further interest accruing on them) on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, on the next of the dates which falls at three (3) Monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period); and

(b) the rights assigned or transferred by the Existing Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts, so that, for the avoidance of doubt:

(i) when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable to the Existing Lender; and

(ii) the amount payable to the New Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Clause 25.6 (Pro rata interest settlement), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

25.7 Securitisation

The Agent or the Lenders may include the Loan in a securitisation or similar transaction without the consent of, or any consultation with the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor. The Agent and/or the Lenders (as the case may be) shall have full right of disclosure of information in connection with or in contemplation of such securitisation (or similar transaction). The Borrowers and the Guarantor shall assist the Agent as necessary to achieve a successful securitisation (or similar transaction), hereunder inter alia the following:

(a) Keep bank accounts where requested by the Agent and procure that the Earnings are paid to any such account; and

(b) Procure that the Insurances according to Clause 23.2 (Insurance – Vessels) are placed with insurers of the requisite rating;

provided however that the Borrowers and/or the Guarantor shall not be required to bear any costs related to any such securitisation.

25.8 Security over Lenders' rights

In addition to the other rights provided in this Clause 25 (Changes to the Lenders), each Lender may, without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure the obligations of that Lender, including, without limitation:

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

(b) in the case of any Lender which is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security 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 Security shall:

Page 76 of 111

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

(d) require any payments to be made by an Obligor 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.

29. SHARING AMONG THE FINANCE PARTIES

29.1 Payments to Finance Parties

If a Finance Party (a "Recovering Finance Party") receives or recovers any amount from an Obligor other than in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment mechanics) (a "Recovered Amount") and applies that amount to a payment due under the Finance Documents then:

(a) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery to the Agent;

(b) 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 30 (Payment mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

(c) the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three (3) 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 30.5 (Partial payments).

29.2 Redistribution of payments

The Agent shall treat the Sharing Payment as if it had been paid by the relevant Obligor and distribute it between the Finance Parties (other than the Recovering Finance Party) (the "Sharing Finance Parties") in accordance with Clause 30.5 (Partial payments) towards the obligations of that Obligor to the Sharing Finance Parties.

29.3 Recovering Finance Party's rights

On a distribution by the Agent under Clause 29.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor, as between the relevant Obligor 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 Obligor.

29.4 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:

To:	the BORROWERS
Date:	[●]

USD 88,750,000 Facilities Agreement dated [●] (the "Agreement")

For the purpose of the Norwegian Financial Contracts Act, we inform you that the nominal interest rate for the Upsized Loan stated below is based upon the aggregate of the current LIBOR and the Margin for a [three (3)] months Interest Period. The calculation of the effective interest rate for the Loan is based upon the aggregate of the nominal interest rate, fees, costs and expenses (to be accrued) for three (3) months Interest Periods. Furthermore, the calculation is based upon a linear repayment in accordance with the Agreement.

As per [●] these interest rates were:

Nominal interest rate: [●] p.a.

Effective interest rate: [●] p.a.

We emphasise that these interest rates are to be regarded as examples due to the variation of interest rates of USD in the Eurocurrency market from time to time, variations of interest rates between optional Interest Periods, and furthermore, in respect of effective interest rates, variations as a result of the accrued fees, costs and expenses from time to time and variations in case of non-linear repayment or prepayment.

Yours faithfully,
