Section 5 Costs of Utilisation 8 Interest 8.1 Calculation of interest The rate of interest on each Vessel Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable: 8.1.1 Margin; and 8.1.2 LIBOR. 8.2 Payment of interest 8.2.1 The Borrowers shall pay accrued interest on each Vessel Loan on the last day of each Interest Period (and, if the Interest Period is longer than six Months, on the dates falling at six monthly intervals after the first day of the Interest Period). 8.2.2 The Borrowers shall procure that interest payments payable pursuant to this Clause 8.2 are transferred to the Agent no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which such payment falls due. 8.3 Default interest If the Borrowers fail to pay any amount payable by them under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is two per cent per annum higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Vessel Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Borrowers on demand by the Agent. Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable. 8.4 Notification of rates of interest The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement. 9 Interest Periods 9.1 Duration of Interest Periods 9.1.1 Subject to Clauses 9.2 (Second and subsequent Drawings), 9.3 (Interest Periods to meet Repayment Dates) and 9.4 (Non-Business Days), each Interest Period for a Vessel Loan shall have a duration of six Months or any other period agreed in writing between the Borrowers and the Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders). 9.1.2 No Interest Period shall extend beyond the Termination Date. 9.1.3 Each Interest Period shall start on the Drawdown Date in respect of the first Drawing in respect of the Vessel Loan or (if the first Drawing is already made) on the last day of the preceding Interest Period and end on the date LONUVE\30137956.24 Page 48


 
which numerically corresponds to the Drawdown Date in respect of the first Drawing or the last day of the preceding Interest Period in the relevant Month except that, if there is no numerically corresponding date in that Month, the Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day in that Month. 9.2 Second and subsequent Drawings If the second or any subsequent Drawing of a Vessel Loan is made otherwise than on the first day of an Interest Period for the balance of that Vessel Loan, there shall be a separate initial Interest Period for that Drawing commencing on its Drawdown Date and expiring on the final date of the then current Interest Period for the balance of that Vessel Loan. 9.3 Interest Periods to meet Repayment Dates If an Interest Period will expire after the next Repayment Date in respect of the relevant Vessel Loan, there shall be a separate Interest Period for a part of that Vessel Loan equal to the Repayment Instalment due on that next Repayment Date and that separate Interest Period shall expire on that next Repayment Date. 9.4 Non-Business Days If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that Month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not). 10 Changes to the Calculation of Interest 10.1 Absence of quotations Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11.00 am (London time) on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBUR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks. 10.2 Market disruption If a Market Disruption Event occurs for any Interest Period, then the rate of interest on each Lender's share of the relevant Vessel Loan for that Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of: 10.2.1 the Margin; and 10.2.2 the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event by close of business on the date falling three Business Days after the Quotation Day (or, if earlier, on the date falling five Business Days prior to 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 that Lender of funding its participation in the relevant Vessel Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select. In this Agreement "Market Disruption Event" means: (a) at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks and none or only one of the Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR for dollars and the relevant Interest Period; or (b) before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a LONLIVE\30137956.24 Page 49


 
Lender or Lenders (whose participations in the relevant Vessel Loan exceed 60 per cent of that Vessel Loan) that the cost to it of funding its participation in that Vessel Loan from the Relevant Interbank Market or, if cheaper, from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of L!BOR. 10.3 Alternative basis of interest or funding 10.3.1 If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrowers so require, the Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. 10.3.2 Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to Clause 10.3.1 shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrowers, be binding on all Parties. 10.3.3 If an alternative basis is not agreed pursuant to Clause 10.3.1, the Borrowers will immediately prepay the relevant Commitment together with Break Costs and the remaining Repayment Instalments in respect of the relevant Vessel Loan shall be reduced pro rata. 10.4 Break Costs 10.4.1 The Borrowers shall, promptly following written demand from the Agent on behalf of a Finance Party, pay to the Agent (for the account of that Finance Party) its Break Costs attributable to all or any part of a Vessel Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrowers on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Vessel Loan or Unpaid Sum. 10.4.2 Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue. 11 Fees 11.1 Commitment Fee 11.1.1 The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent (for the account of the Lenders in proportion to their Commitments) a fee computed at the rate of zero point five per cent (0.5%) per annum on the undrawn and uncancelled amount of the Loan for the Availability Period. 11.1.2 The accrued commitment fee is payable on the last day of each successive period of three Months which ends during the Availability Period, on the last day of the Availability Period, on the Drawdown Date in respect of the final Drawing and (on the cancelled amount of the relevant Lender's Commitment) at the time the cancellation is effective. 11.2 Arrangement fee The Borrowers shall pay to the Arranger an arrangement fee in the amount and at the times agreed in the Fee Letter. 11.3 Agency fee The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent (for its own account) an agency fee in the amount and at the times agreed in the Fee Letter.

(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 23.8, have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts. 23.8.2 In this Clause 23.8 references to "Interest Period" shall be construed to include a reference to any other period for accrual of fees. 23.8.3 An Existing Lender which retains the right to the Accrued Amounts pursuant to this Clause 23.8 but which does not have a Commitment shall be deemed not to be a Lender for the purposes of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Lenders has been obtained to approve any request for a consent, waiver, amendment or other vote of Lenders under the Finance Documents. 24 Changes to the Security Parties 24.1 No assignment or transfer by Security Parties No Security Party may assign any of its rights or transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Finance Documents.
