Total	815,000,000

(b)	The sixteenth instalment referred to above comprises two parts:

(ii)	a balloon instalment in the amount of $489,000,000 (the Balloon Instalment).

(c)	On the Final Repayment Date (and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement), the Loan shall be repaid in full.

6.3	Adjustment of scheduled repayments

If the Total Commitments have been partially reduced under this Agreement and/or any part of the Loan is prepaid (other than under clause 6.2 (Scheduled repayment of Facility)) before any Repayment Date, the amount of each instalment (including the Balloon Instalment) by which the Loan shall be repaid under clause 6.2 (Scheduled repayment of Facility) on any such Repayment Date (as reduced by any earlier operation of this clause 6.3) shall be reduced pro rata to such reduction in the Total Commitments and/or prepayment of the Loan.

6.4	Maturity extension

(a)

At any time between 9 and 6 Months before the Final Repayment Date, the Borrower shall be entitled to submit a written request to the Agent (which the Agent shall promptly forward to the Lenders), requesting the Lenders to consent to an extension of the Final Repayment Date by 24 Months. The effect of the requested extension will be such that the Balloon Instalment will be amortised in 8 quarterly instalments falling due at intervals of 3 Months after the Final Repayment Date, and a new balloon instalment (the Extension Balloon Instalment) which will be payable on the last date of such period of 24 Months. The amount of each of the eight (8) such quarterly instalments shall be equal to the amount of the first instalment referred to in clause 6.2 (Scheduled repayment of Facility) on the date of this Agreement. The amount of the Extension Balloon Instalment will be the remaining amount of the Loan.

(b)

The Lenders, acting unanimously, shall be entitled in their absolute and unfettered discretion, and without the need for assigning any reason to their decision, to either accept or decline such request. The Lenders shall respond to the Borrower's request as soon as practically possible after the request is received by the Agent, and in any event within one (1) month thereafter.

(c)

If all the Lenders accept the Borrower's request in writing, the Parties agree to enter into such amendment documentation (including an amendment agreement to this Agreement, and amendments to the Mortgages) and the Obligors agree to deliver to the Agent such documents of the type referred to in Schedule 3 (Conditions precedent), in order to implement such changes to the repayment terms of the Loan referred to above, as the Majority Lenders may require in their absolute discretion and in each case at the cost and expense of the Borrower.

(d)	If the Lenders' consent is granted, it shall not become effective unless and until the documentation referred to in clause 6.4(c) has been entered into and is effective and the documents referred to therein have been delivered to the Agent.

the Borrower may, on five (5) Business Days' prior notice to the Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign (and, to the extent permitted by law, such Lender shall assign) pursuant to clause 31 (Changes to the Lenders) all (and not part only) of its rights under this Agreement (and any Security Document to which that Lender is a party in its capacity as a Lender) to an Eligible Institution (a Replacement Lender) which confirms its willingness to undertake and does undertake all the obligations of the assigning Lender in accordance with clause 31 (Changes to the Lenders) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of the assignment in an amount equal to the aggregate of:

(A)	the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's participation in the Loan;

(B)	all accrued interest owing to such Lender;

(d)	In the event that:

(i)	the Borrower or the Agent (at the request of the Borrower) has requested the Lenders to give a consent in relation to, or to agree to a waiver or amendment of, any provisions of the Finance Documents;

(ii)	the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the approval of all the Lenders; and

(iii)

the Lenders whose Commitment aggregate more than 75 per cent of the Total Commitments have consented or agreed to such waiver or amendment,

7.8	Sale or Total Loss

(a)

If a Ship is sold (other than a Leased Ship that is sold in the context of implementing the New SLB Transaction) or becomes a Total Loss before the Utilisation, the Agent (acting on the instructions of all Lenders) will consult with the Borrower as to how the Facility will be adjusted to take into account the effect of the loss or sale of such Ship, Provided however that if no agreement is reached between the Agent and the Borrower within 10 Business Days of such date, the Total Commitments shall be reduced to zero.

(b)

If a Ship becomes a Total Loss or is sold (subject always to the other provisions of the Finance Documents restricting the disposal of Ships) following Utilisation, the Borrower shall, on the Ship's Disposal Repayment Date, prepay such part of the Loan as is equal to the Loan multiplied by the Applicable Fraction.

(c)	For the purposes of this clause, Applicable Fraction means, in relation to a Ship being sold or which has become a Total Loss, a fraction having:

(i)	a numerator equal to the Market Value of the Owned Ship sold or lost or (as applicable) the Net Residual Value of the Leased Ship sold or lost; and

(ii)	a denominator equal to the aggregate of (i) the Market Value of all Owned Ships and (ii) the Net Residual Value of all Leased Ships (including the Ship lost or sold),

in each case as determined by the Majority Lenders on or before the relevant Ship's Disposal Repayment Date.

Section 5 - Costs of Utilisation

9

Interest

9.1	Calculation of interest

The rate of interest on the Loan (or any relevant part of it for which there is a separate Interest Period) for each Interest Period relating to it is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

(a)	Margin; and

(b)	LIBOR for the relevant Interest Period.

9.2	Payment of interest

The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the Loan (or any relevant part of it) on the last day of each Interest Period and, if an Interest Period is longer than three Months, on the dates falling at intervals of three Months after the first day of that Interest Period.

9.3	Default interest

(a)

If an Obligor fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document to a Finance Party 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, subject to paragraph (c) below, is 2 per cent (2%) per annum higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted the Loan for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably).

(b)	Any interest accruing under this clause 9.3 shall be immediately payable by the Obligors on demand by the Agent.

(c)	If any overdue amount consists of all or part of the Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to the Loan or the relevant part of it:

(i)	the first Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to the Loan or the relevant part of it; and

(ii)	the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be 2 per cent per annum higher than the rate which would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due.

(d)	Default interest payable under this clause 9.3 (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.

(c)	If the Borrower fails to deliver a Selection Notice to the Agent in accordance with paragraph (a) above, the relevant Interest Period will, subject to clause 10.2 (Interest Periods overrunning Repayment Dates), be three (3) Months.

(d)	Subject to this clause 10, the Borrower may select an Interest Period of three or six Months, or any other period agreed between the Borrower and the Agent (on the instructions of all the Lenders).

(e)	No Interest Period shall extend beyond the Final Repayment Date.

(f)	The first Interest Period for the Loan shall start on the Utilisation Date and each subsequent Interest Period for the Loan shall start on the last day of its preceding Interest Period.

If the Borrower selects an Interest Period which would overrun any later Repayment Date, the Loan shall be divided into parts corresponding to the amounts by which the Loan is scheduled to be repaid under clause 6.2 (Scheduled repayment of Facility) on each of the Repayment Dates falling during such Interest Period (each of which shall have a separate Interest Period ending on the relevant Repayment Date) and to the balance of the Loan (which shall have the Interest Period selected by the Borrower).

10.3	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).

11	Changes to the calculation of interest

11.1	Unavailability of Screen Rate

(a)	If no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR for an Interest Period, LIBOR shall be the Interpolated Screen Rate for a period equal in length to that Interest Period.

(b)	If no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR for:

(i)	dollars; or

(ii)	the relevant Interest Period and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Screen Rate,

the Interest Period shall (if it is longer than the Fallback Interest Period) be shortened to the Fallback Interest Period and LIBOR for that shortened Interest Period shall be determined pursuant to the definition of LIBOR.

(c)	If an Interest Period is, after giving effect to paragraph (b) above, either the Fallback Interest Period or shorter than the Fallback Interest Period and, in either case, no Screen Rate is available for LIBOR for:

(i)	dollars; or

(ii)	the relevant Interest Period and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Screen Rate,

LIBOR shall be the Historic Screen Rate for the Loan or relevant part of it or Unpaid Sum.

(d)	If paragraph (c) above applies but no Historic Screen Rate is available for the relevant Interest Period, LIBOR shall be the Interpolated Historic Screen Rate for a period equal in length to the Interest Period for the Loan or relevant part of it or Unpaid Sum.

(e)

If paragraph (d) above applies but it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Historic Screen Rate, the relevant Interest Period shall, if it has been shortened pursuant to paragraph (b) above, revert to its previous length and there shall be no LIBOR for that Interest Period and clause 11.3 (Cost of funds) shall apply for that Interest Period.

11.3	Cost of funds

(a)	If this clause 11.3 applies, the rate of interest on each Lender's share of the Loan or relevant part of it for the Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

(i)	the Margin; and

(ii)

the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable and in any event within ten Business Days of the first day of that Interest Period (or, if earlier, on the date falling ten Business Days before the date on which interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period), to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the relevant Lender of funding its participation in the Loan or relevant part of it from whatever source it may reasonably select.

(b)

If this clause 11.3 applies and the Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Agent and the Borrower 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. If a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest is not agreed, paragraph (a) shall apply.

(c)	Subject to clause 45.4 (Replacement of Screen Rate), any substitute or any alternative basis agreed pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all Parties.

(i)	a Lender's Funding Rate is less than LIBOR; or

(ii)	a Lender does not supply a quotation by the time specified in paragraph (a)(ii) above,

the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Loan or relevant part of it for that Interest Period shall be deemed, for the purposes of paragraph (a) above, to be LIBOR.

11.5	Break Costs

(a)

The Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of the Loan or any relevant part of it or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrower on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for the Loan or that relevant part of it or Unpaid Sum.

The Borrower shall, promptly upon any of them becoming aware that an Obligor 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 that Obligor.

(c)

If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor under the relevant Finance Document 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.

(d)	If an Obligor is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Obligor 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.

(i)	with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:

(A)	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

(B)	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

(ii)	to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(A)	is compensated for by an increased payment under clause 13.2 (Tax gross-up); or

(B)	relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party or any Obligor which is not a Party.

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

the Finance Party shall pay an amount to the Obligor 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 required to be made by the Obligor.

13.5	Indemnities on after Tax basis

(a)

If and to the extent that any sum payable to any Protected Party by an Obligor under any Finance Document by way of indemnity or reimbursement proves to be insufficient, by reason of any Tax suffered thereon, for that Protected Party to discharge the corresponding liability to a third party, or to reimburse that Protected Party for the cost incurred by it in discharging the corresponding liability to a third party, an Obligor shall pay that Protected Party such additional sum as (after taking into account any Tax suffered by that Protected Party on such additional sum) shall be required to make up the relevant deficit.

(b)

If and to the extent that any sum (the Indemnity Sum) constituting (directly or indirectly) an indemnity to any Protected Party but paid by an Obligor to any person other than that Protected Party, shall be treated as taxable in the hands of the Protected Party, the Obligor shall pay to that Protected Party such sum (the Compensating Sum) as (after taking into account any Tax suffered by that Protected Party on the Compensating Sum) shall reimburse that Protected Party for any Tax suffered by it in respect of the Indemnity Sum.

(c)

For the purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, a sum shall be deemed to be taxable in the hands of a Protected Party if it falls to be taken into account in computing the profits or gains of that Protected Party for the purposes of Tax and, if so, that Protected Party shall be deemed to have suffered Tax on the relevant sum at the rate of Tax applicable to that Protected Party's profits or gains for the period in which the payment of the relevant sum falls to be taken into account for the purposes of such Tax.

All amounts expressed in a Finance Document to be payable by any 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 paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any party under a Finance Document, and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that 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 that party).

(b)

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 to a Finance Document other than the Recipient (the Subject 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):

(i)

(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Subject 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 paragraph (a) applies) promptly pay to the Subject 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

(ii)

(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Subject 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.

(c)

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

(d)

Any reference in this clause 13.7 to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term 'representative member' to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994).

(e)

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.

13.8	FATCA information

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

(i)	confirm to that other Party whether it is:

(A)	a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(B)	not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(ii)	supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA 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 shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

(c)	Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, 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

(d)

If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraphs (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(e)	If the Borrower is a US Tax Obligor or the Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA or any other applicable law or regulation require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of the date of a request from the Agent,

supply to the Agent:

(A)	a withholding certificate on Form W-8, Form W-9 or any other relevant form; or

(B)	any withholding statement or other document, authorisation or waiver as the Agent may require to certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA or that other law or regulation.

(f)	The Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above to the Borrower.

(g)

If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the Agent by a Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Lender shall promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Agent unless it is unlawful for the Lender to do so (in which case the Lender shall promptly notify the Agent). The Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver to the Borrower.

(h)

The Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver it receives from a Lender pursuant to paragraphs (e) or (g) above without further verification. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with paragraphs (e), (f) or (g) above.

13.9	FATCA Deduction

(a)

Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, 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.

(b)

Each Party 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 Borrower and the Agent and the Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

14	Increased costs

14.1	Increased costs

(a)	Subject to clause 14.3 (Exceptions), the Borrower shall, within three Business Days of a demand by the Agent, pay for the account of a Finance Party the amount of any Increased Cost incurred by that Finance Party or any of its Affiliates which:

a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Finance Document,

which is incurred or suffered by a Finance Party or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Finance Party having entered into its Commitment or funding or performing its obligations under any Finance Document.

14.2	Increased cost claims

(a)	A Finance Party intending to make a claim pursuant to clause 14.1 (Increased costs) shall notify the Agent of the event giving rise to the claim, following which the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower.

(b)	Each Finance Party shall, as soon as practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate to the Borrower and the Agent confirming the amount of its Increased Costs.

14.3	Exceptions

(a)	Clause 14.1 (Increased costs) does not apply to the extent any Increased Cost is:

(i)	attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by an Obligor;

(ii)	attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party;

(iii)

compensated for by clause 13.3 (Tax indemnity) (or would have been compensated for under clause 13.3 (Tax indemnity) but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in paragraph (b) of clause 13.3 (Tax indemnity) applied); or

15	Other indemnities

15.1	Currency indemnity

(a)	If any sum due from an Obligor under the Finance Documents (a Sum), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the First Currency) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the Second Currency) for the purpose of:

(b)	Each Obligor waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Finance Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.

For the purpose of this clause 15.1 rate of exchange means the rate at which the Agent or the relevant Finance Party is able on the relevant date to purchase the Second Currency with the First Currency and shall take into account any commission, premium and other costs of exchange and Taxes payable in connection with such purchase.

Section 7 - Guarantee

18	Guarantee and indemnity

18.1	Guarantee and indemnity

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally and jointly and severally with the other Guarantors:

(a)	guarantees to the Security Agent (as trustee for the Finance Parties) and the other Finance Parties punctual performance by each other Obligor of all such Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents;

(b)

undertakes with the Security Agent (as trustee for the Finance Parties) and the other Finance Parties that whenever another Obligor does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document, it shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(c)	agrees with the Security Agent (as trustee for the Finance Parties) and the other Finance Parties that it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify each Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs:

(i)

(A)	if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal; or

(B)	by operation of law, and as a result of the same, the Borrower has not paid any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity, illegality or operation of law, have been payable by the Borrower under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due; or

(ii)

if as a result (directly or indirectly) of the introduction of or any change in (or the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or regulation, or compliance with any law, regulation or administrative procedure made after entry into this Agreement (a Change in Law), there is a change in the currency, the value of the currency or the timing, place or manner in which any obligation guaranteed by a Guarantor is payable.

The amount payable by each Guarantor under this indemnity:

(A)	in respect of paragraph (i) above, shall be the amount it would have had to pay under this clause 18.1 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee but for any relevant unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, and

(B)

in respect of paragraph (ii) above, shall include (aa) the difference between (x) the amount (if any) received by the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties from the Borrower and (y) the amount that the Borrower was obliged to pay under the original express terms of the Finance Documents in the currency specified in the Finance Documents, disregarding any Change in Law (the Original Currency), and (bb) all further costs, losses and liabilities suffered or incurred by the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties as a result of a Change in Law.

For the purposes of (aa)(x) above, if payment was not received by the Security Agent or the other Finance Parties in the Original Currency, the amount received by the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties shall be deemed to be that payment's equivalent in the Original Currency converted, actually or notionally at the Security Agent's discretion, on the day of receipt at the then prevailing spot rate of exchange of the Security Agent or if, in the Security Agent's opinion, it could not reasonably or properly have made a conversion on the day of receipt of the equivalent of that payment in the Original Currency, that payment's equivalent as soon as the Security Agent could, in its opinion, reasonably and properly have made a conversion of the Original Currency with the currency of payment.

If the Original Currency no longer exists, the Guarantors shall make such payment in such currency as is, in the reasonable opinion of the Security Agent, required, after taking into account any payments by the Borrower, to place the Security Agent and the other Finance Parties in a position reasonably comparable to that it would have been in had the Original Currency continued to exist.

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, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

18.3	Reinstatement

If any payment is made by an Obligor, or any discharge, release or arrangement is given by a Finance Party (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition, and the same is avoided or reduced or must be restored in, or as a result of, insolvency, liquidation, administration or any other similar event or otherwise, without limitation then:

(a)	the liability of each Guarantor under this clause 18 shall continue or be reinstated as if the payment, discharge, release, arrangement, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and

(b)	each Finance Party shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security or payment from each Guarantor, as if the payment, discharge, release, arrangement, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.

18.4	Waiver of defences

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

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

The amount payable under this indemnity shall be equal to the amount which that Finance Party would otherwise have been entitled to recover.

(c)

The obligations of each Guarantor under the Finance Documents shall continue until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Guarantors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged in full, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

Number of valuers

(a)	Each valuation may be carried out by two (2) approved valuers nominated by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails promptly to nominate a valuer then the Agent may nominate such valuer.

(b)

If the two valuations of a Ship made by two approved valuers vary by more than 10 per cent, then the Market Value of that Ship shall be determined by reference to those two valuations and a third valuation provided by a third approved valuer nominated and appointed by the Borrower to provide a valuation of such Ship. If the Borrower fails promptly to nominate a valuer then the Agent may nominate such valuer.

(a)	If an approved valuer provides a range of values for a Ship, the Market Value of such Ship for the purposes of the valuation shall be the mean average of the values comprising such range.

Security shortfall

(a)

If at any time the Security Value is less than the Minimum Value, the Agent may, and shall, if so directed by the Majority Lenders, by notice to the Borrower require that such deficiency be remedied. The Borrower shall then within 15 days of receipt of such notice ensure that the Security Value equals or exceeds the Minimum Value. For this purpose, the Borrower may:

(i)	provide additional security over other assets approved by the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) in accordance with this clause 26; and/or

(ii)	cancel part of the Total Commitments under clause 7.3 (Voluntary cancellation) and prepay under clause 7.4 (Voluntary prepayment) a corresponding amount of the Loan (but on five Business Days' notice instead of the period required by such clause).

Creation of additional security

(a)	that additional security, its value and the method of its valuation have been approved by the Majority Lenders (and providing to the Security Agent, for that purpose, pledged or charged and blocked cash deposits in dollars is hereby approved by all the Lenders);

(b)	a Security Interest over that security has been constituted in favour of the Security Agent or (if required or appropriate) any other Finance Parties in an approved form and manner;

(c)	this Agreement has been unconditionally amended in such manner as the Agent requires in consequence of that additional security being provided; and

(d)

the Agent, or its duly authorised representative, has received such documents and evidence it may require in relation to that amendment and additional security including documents and evidence of the type referred to in Schedule 3 (Conditions precedent) in relation to that amendment and additional security and its execution and (if applicable) registration.

Release of additional security

If (i) the Borrower shall previously have provided further security to the Security Agent and/or the other Finance Parties pursuant to clause 26.13 (Security shortfall), and (ii) at any time thereafter when no Event of Default is continuing, the Security Value shall exceed the Minimum Value for at least six consecutive calendar months and this has been certified by 2 consecutive Compliance Certificates delivered to the Agent during such period pursuant to clause 20.4 (Provision and contents of Certificate of Compliance) (with accompanying valuations, where applicable), then the Security Agent (on the instructions of the Agent) and the other Finance Parties shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after notice from the Borrower to do so and subject to being indemnified to their satisfaction against the cost of doing so, procure the release of any such further security specified by the Borrower, provided that the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders) is satisfied that:

Section 9 - Changes to Parties

31	Changes to the Lenders

31.1	Assignments by the Lenders

Subject to this clause 31, a Lender (the Existing Lender) may assign any of its rights under any Finance Document 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).

31.2	Conditions of assignment

(a)	The consent of the Borrower is not required for any assignment by an Existing Lender.

(b)	The relevant Existing Lender will consult with the Borrower for no more than ten (10) Business Days before any assignment unless the assignment is:

(i)	to another Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender or a fund which is a Related Fund of a Lender; or

(ii)	made at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

in which case no consultation shall be required.

(c)	The Agent will immediately advise the Borrower of the assignment.

(d)	The Obligors shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by the Existing Lender or the New Lender, or any other Finance Party, in connection with the documentation effecting any such assignment.

31.3	Other conditions of assignment

(a)	An assignment will only be effective:

(i)	if the relevant Existing Lender has given prior written notice of the proposed assignment to the Borrower and confirmed the identity of the New Lender in such written notice (with a copy to the Agent);

(ii)	on 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 Borrower and the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it had been an Original Lender;

(iii)

on the New Lender entering into any documentation required for it to accede as a party to any Security Document to which the Existing Lender is a party in its capacity as a Lender and, in relation to such Security Documents, completing any filing, registration or notice requirements;

(iv)

on the performance by the Agent of all necessary 'know your customer' or similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations relating to any person that it is required to carry out 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

(v)	if that Existing Lender assigns equal fractions of its Commitment and participation in the Loan, with the minimum aggregate amount so assigned by that Existing Lender being $1,000,000.

(b)

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 the Finance Documents on or prior to the date on which the assignment becomes effective in accordance with the Finance Documents and that it is bound by that decision to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been had it remained a Lender.

(c)

If:

(i)	a Lender assigns and/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, an Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office under clause 13 (Tax gross-up and indemnities) clause 14 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under that clause 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 (unless the assignment, transfer or change is made by the Lender at the Borrower's request or with the Borrower's agreement to mitigate any circumstances giving rise to a Tax Payment or increased cost, or a right to be prepaid and/or cancelled by reason of illegality).

31.4	Fee and expenses

The New Lender shall, on the date upon which an assignment takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of $5,000 and shall, promptly on demand, pay the Agent and the Security Agent the amount of:

(a)

all costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred by the Agent or the Security Agent to facilitate the accession by the New Lender to, or assignment or transfer to the New Lender of, any Security Document and/or the benefit of any Security Document and any appropriate registration of any such accession or assignment or transfer; and

(b)	any cost, loss or liability the Agent or the Security Agent incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any such accession, assignment or transfer.

31.6	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, the Transaction Security or any other documents;

(ii)	the financial condition of any Obligor;

(iii)

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

(iv)	the application of any Basel II Regulation or Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents; or

(v)	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:

(A)	the financial condition and affairs of the Obligors and their related entities in connection with its participation in this Agreement; and

(B)	the application of any Basel II Regulation or any Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents,

and has not relied exclusively on any information provided to it by the Existing Lender or any other Finance Party in connection with any Transaction Document or the Transaction Security;

(ii)	will continue to make its own independent appraisal of the application of any Basel II Regulation or Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Finance Documents; and

(iii)

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-assignment from a New Lender of any of the rights assigned under this clause 31; 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 any Transaction Document or by reason of the application of any Basel II Regulation or any Basel III Regulation to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

31.7	Procedure available for assignment

(a)

Subject to the conditions set out in clause 31.2 (Conditions of assignment) and 31.3 (Other conditions of assignment) an assignment may be effected in accordance with paragraph (d) below when (a) the Agent executes an otherwise duly completed Transfer Certificate and (b) the Agent executes any document required under paragraph (a) of clause 31.2 (Conditions of assignment) which it may be necessary for it to execute in each case delivered to it by the Existing Lender and the New Lender duly executed by them and, in the case of any such other document, any other relevant person. The Agent shall, subject to paragraph (b) below, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by it of a Transfer Certificate and any such other document each duly completed, 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 and such other document.

(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 assignment to such New Lender.

(c)	The Obligors who are Parties and the other Finance Parties irrevocably authorise the Agent to execute any Transfer Certificate on their behalf without any consultation with them.

(ii)

the Existing Lender will be released by each Obligor and the other Finance Parties from the obligations owed by it (the Relevant Obligations) and expressed to be the subject of the release in the Transfer Certificate (but the obligations owed by the Obligors under the Finance Documents shall not be released); and

(iii)

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

(e)

Lenders may utilise procedures other than those set out in this clause 31.7 to assign their rights under the Finance Documents (but not, without the consent of the relevant Obligor or unless in accordance with this clause 31.7 to obtain a release by that Obligor from the obligations owed to that Obligor by the Lenders nor the assumption of equivalent obligations by a New Lender) provided that they comply with the conditions set out in clause 31.2 (Conditions of assignment).

31.8	Copy of Transfer Certificate to Borrower

The Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after it has executed a Transfer Certificate and any other document required under paragraph (a) of clause 31.3 (Other conditions of assignment), send a copy of that Transfer Certificate and such other documents to the Borrower.

31.9	Security over Lenders' rights

In addition to the other rights provided to Lenders under this clause 31, each Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create a Security Interest 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:

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

(b)	any charge, assignment or other Security Interest 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 other Security Interest shall:

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

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

31.10

Pro rata interest settlement

In respect of any assignment pursuant to clause 31.7 (Procedure available for assignment) the Transfer Date of which is not on the last day of an Interest Period:

(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 six Months, on the next of the dates which falls at intervals of six Months 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 31.10, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

In this clause 31.10 references to 'Interest Period' shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees.

Neither the Agent nor the Arranger shall be obliged to request any certificate, opinion or other information under clause 20 (Information undertakings) unless so required in writing by a Lender, in which case the Agent shall promptly make the appropriate request of the Borrower if such request would be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(l)

The Security Agent shall be entitled (in its own name or in the name of nominees) to invest moneys from time to time forming part of the Charged Property or otherwise held by it as a consequence of any enforcement of the security constituted by any Finance Document which, in the reasonable opinion of the Security Agent, it would not be practicable to distributed immediately, by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Security Agent as the Security Agent may think fit without being under any duty to diversify the same and the Security Agent shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate or exchange rate fluctuations and shall not be liable to account for an amount of interest greater than the standard amount that would be payable to an independent customer.

(m)

The Security Agent may place all deeds and other documents relating to the Charged Property which are from time to time deposited with it pursuant to the Security Documents in any safe deposit, safe or receptacle selected by the Security Agent or with any firm of solicitors or company whose business includes undertaking the safe custody of documents selected by the Security Agent and may make any such arrangements as it thinks fit for allowing any Obligor access to, or its solicitors or auditors possession of, such documents when necessary or convenient and the Security Agent shall not be responsible for any loss incurred in connection with any such deposit, access or possession.

(c)

If the Majority Lenders have not appointed a successor Agent or Security Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above within 30 days after notice of resignation was given, the retiring Agent or Security Agent (after consultation with (in the case of the Agent) the Borrower or (in the case of the Security Agent) the Agent) may appoint a successor Agent or Security Agent.

(d)

If the Agent or Security Agent wishes to resign because it has concluded that it is no longer appropriate for it to remain as agent or trustee and the Agent or (as the case may be) Security Agent is entitled to appoint a successor Agent or (as the case may be) Security Agent under paragraph (c) above, the Agent or (as the case may be) Security Agent may (if it concludes (acting reasonably) that it is necessary to do so in order to persuade the proposed successor Agent or (as the case may be) Security Agent to become a party to this Agreement as Agent or (as the case may be) Security Agent) agree with the proposed successor Agent or (as the case may be) Security Agent such amendments to this clause 33 and any other term of this Agreement dealing with the rights or obligations of the Agent or (as the case may be) Security Agent consistent with then current market practice for the appointment and protection of corporate trustees together with any reasonable amendments to the fee payable to it in its capacity as Agent or (as the case may be) Security Agent under this Agreement which are consistent with the successor Agent's or (as the case may be) Security Agent's normal fee rates and those amendments will bind the Parties.

(in the case of the Security Agent) the transfer or assignment of all the Transaction Security and the other Security Property to that successor and any appropriate filings or registrations, any notices of transfer or assignment and the payment of any fees or duties related to such transfer or assignment which the Security Agent considers necessary or advisable have been duly completed.

(g)

Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Agent or Security Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Finance Documents (other than its obligations under paragraph (b) of clause 34.10 (Winding up of trust) and paragraph (e) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of clauses 15.2 (Other indemnities), 15.4 (Indemnity to the Agent and the Security Agent) and 15.5 (Indemnity concerning security) and this clause 33 (and any agency or other fees for the account of the retiring Agent or Security Agent in its capacity as such shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).

(ii)	the information supplied by the Agent pursuant to clause 13.8 (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

(iii)

the Agent notifies the Borrower 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) 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 Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and the Borrower or that Lender, by notice to the Agent, requires it to resign.

33.17

(a)	After consultation with the Borrower, the Majority Lenders may, by giving 30 days' notice to the Agent replace the Agent by appointing a successor 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 paragraph (b) above) but shall remain entitled to the benefit of clauses 15.4 ((Indemnity to the Agent and the Security Agent) and 15.5 (Indemnity concerning security) and this clause 33) (and any agency fees for the account of the retiring Agent shall cease to accrue from (and shall be payable on) that date).

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

(c)

Notwithstanding any other provision of any Finance Document to the contrary, none of the Agent, the Security Agent nor the Arranger 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 regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty.
