Upon receipt of a Drawdown Notice complying with the terms of this Agreement the Facility Agent shall notify the Lenders thereof and of the date on which the relevant Advance is to be made and, subject to the provisions of clause 2.3 and clause 9, on the Drawdown Date for such Advance the Lenders shall make available to the Facility Agent such Advance for payment by the Facility Agent in accordance with clause 6.2.

2.5 Application of proceeds

Without prejudice to the Borrowers' obligations under clause 8.1.3, none of the Finance Parties shall have any responsibility for the application of the proceeds of any Advance by the Borrowers.

2.6 Derivative transactions

2.6.1 If, at any time during the Security Period, the Borrowers wish to enter into interest rate swap transactions or other derivative transactions so as to hedge (inter alia) all or any part of their exposure under this Agreement to interest rate fluctuations, they shall advise the Facility Agent and the Swap Provider in writing accordingly.

2.6.2 The Swap Provider shall, upon receipt of such notification from the Borrowers, inform the Lenders and shall, prior to execution of any documentation regarding any interest rate swap transactions or other derivative transactions, copy to the Lenders each Confirmation it proposes to enter into with the Borrowers.

2.6.3 Any such interest rate swap transaction or other derivative transaction shall be concluded with the Swap Provider under the Master Swap Agreement provided however that no such interest rate swap or other derivative transaction shall be concluded unless the Swap Provider and the Lenders first agrees to it in writing and, for the avoidance of any doubt, the Borrowers by execution of this Agreement acknowledge that the fact that the Swap Provider has entered into the Master Swap Agreement with the Borrowers does not obligate the Swap Provider to enter into any interest rate swap transaction or other derivative transaction which the Borrowers wish to enter into.  For the avoidance of doubt, other than the Swap Provider's agreement in writing referred to in the preceding sentence and other than the prior notification and copy of the relevant documentation to all Lenders as set out in clause 2.6.2, no prior approval is required by the Borrowers or by the Swap Provider from any other Finance Party before concluding any such transaction. If and when any such interest rate swap transaction or other derivative transaction has been concluded, it shall constitute a Designated Transaction, and the Borrowers shall sign a Confirmation with the Swap Provider and advise the Lenders through the Facility Agent promptly after concluding any Designated Transaction.

3 Interest and interest periods

3.1 Normal interest rate

The Borrowers shall, subject to clause 6.3, pay interest on each Advance in respect of each Interest Period relating thereto on each Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of Interest Periods of more than three (3) months, by instalments, the first instalment three (3) months from the commencement of the relevant Interest Period and the subsequent instalments at intervals of three (3) months thereafter or, if shorter, the period from the date of the preceding

21

instalment until the Interest Payment Date relative to such Interest Period) at the rate per annum which is the aggregate of (i) the relevant Applicable Margin and (ii) LIBOR for such Interest Period.

3.2 Selection of Interest Periods

The Borrowers may by notice received by the Facility Agent not later than 10.00 a.m. (Rotterdam time) on the fifth Banking Day before the beginning of each Interest Period, select whether such Interest Period shall have a duration of three (3) or six (6) months or such other period as the Borrowers may request and the Lenders may agree in their sole discretion.

3.3 Determination of Interest Periods

Every Interest Period shall be of the duration specified by the Borrowers pursuant to clause 3.2 but so that:

3.3.1 the first Interest Period in respect of each Advance shall commence on the date on which such Advance is drawn down and each subsequent Interest Period shall commence on the last day of the previous Interest Period for such Advance;

3.3.2 if any Interest Period in respect of an Advance would otherwise overrun a Repayment Date in respect of such Advance, then, in the case of the last Repayment Date for such Advance, such Interest Period shall end on such Repayment Date for such Advance, and in the case of any other Repayment Date or Repayment Dates for such Advance, such Advance shall be divided into parts so that there is one part in the amount of the repayment instalment due on each Repayment Date falling during that Interest Period and having an Interest Period ending on the relevant Repayment Date for such Advance and another part in the amount of the balance of such Advance having an Interest Period ascertained in accordance with clause 3.2 and the other provisions of this clause 3.3; and

3.3.3 if the Borrowers fail to specify the duration of an Interest Period in respect of an Advance in accordance with the provisions of clause 3.2 and this clause 3.3 such Interest Period, shall have a duration of three (3) months or such other period as shall comply with this clause.

3.4 Default interest

If the Borrowers fail to pay any sum (including, without limitation, any sum payable pursuant to this clause 3.4) on its due date for payment under any of the Security Documents (except the Master Swap Agreement), the Borrowers shall pay interest on such sum on demand from the due date up to the date of actual payment (as well after as before judgement) at a rate determined by the Facility Agent pursuant to this clause 3.4.

The period beginning on such due date and ending on such date of payment shall be divided into successive periods of not more than three (3) months as selected by the Facility Agent (after consultation with the Lenders so far as reasonably practicable in the circumstances) each of which (other than the first, which shall commence on such due date) shall commence on the last day of the preceding such period.  The rate of interest applicable to each such period shall be the aggregate (as determined by the Facility Agent) of (i) two per cent. (2%) per annum, (ii) LIBOR for such period and (iii) the highest Applicable Margin at the time, provided however that, if the unpaid sum is an amount of principal which shall have become due and payable, by reason of a declaration by the Facility Agent under clause 10.2.2 or a prepayment obligation arising pursuant to clauses 4.3, 8.2 or 12.1, on a date other than an Interest Payment Date relating thereto, the first such period selected by the Facility Agent shall be of a duration equal to the period between the due date of such principal sum and such Interest Payment Date and interest shall be payable on such principal sum during such period at a rate of two per cent. (2%) above the rate applicable thereto immediately before it shall have become so due and payable.

Interest under this clause 3.4 shall be due and payable on the last day of each such period as determined by the Facility Agent and each such day shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be treated as an Interest Payment Date.

22

If, for the reasons specified in clause 3.6.1, the Facility Agent is unable to determine a rate in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause 3.4, each Lender shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the cost of funds to such Lender and interest on any sum not paid on its due date for payment shall be calculated for each Lender at a rate determined by the Facility Agent to be two per cent. (2%) per annum above the aggregate of (i) the cost of funds to such Lender and (ii) the highest Applicable Margin at the time.

3.5 Notification of Interest Periods and interest rate

The Facility Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders promptly of the duration of each Interest Period or other period for the calculation of interest (or, as the case may be, default interest) and of each rate of interest determined by it under this clause 3.

3.6 Market disruption; non-availability

3.6.1 If and whenever, at any time prior to the commencement of any Interest Period:

(a) the Facility Agent shall have determined (which determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive) that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR during such Interest Period; or

(b) the Facility Agent shall have received notification from a Lender that deposits in Dollars are not available to such Lender in the London Interbank Market in the ordinary course of business in sufficient amounts to fund their Contributions for such Interest Period; or

(c) the Facility Agent shall have received notification from a Lender that the cost to such Lender of obtaining deposits in Dollars in the London Interbank Market in the ordinary course of business exceeds LIBOR,

the Facility Agent shall forthwith give notice (a "Determination Notice") thereof to the Borrowers and to each of the Lenders and the Swap Provider.  A Determination Notice shall contain particulars of the relevant circumstances giving rise to its issue.  After the giving of any Determination Notice (and until the Facility Agent notifies the Borrowers that none of the circumstances specified in clause 3.5.1 continues to exist) the undrawn amount of the Total Commitments shall not be borrowed until notice to the contrary is given to the Borrowers by the Facility Agent.

3.6.2 During the period of ten (10) days after any Determination Notice has been given by the Facility Agent under clause 3.6.1, each Lender shall certify to the Facility Agent an alternative basis (the "Alternative Basis") for making available or, as the case may be, maintaining its Contribution. The Alternative Basis may at the relevant Lender's sole and unfettered discretion include (without limitation) alternative interest periods, alternative currencies or alternative rates of interest but shall include a margin above the cost of funds to such Lender equivalent to the relevant Applicable Margin. The Facility Agent shall calculate the arithmetic mean of each Alternative Basis provided by the relevant Lenders (the "Substitute Basis") and certify the same to the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Swap Provider. The Substitute Basis so certified shall be binding upon the Borrowers and shall take effect in accordance with its terms from the date specified in the Determination Notice until such time as the Facility Agent notifies the Borrowers that none of the circumstances specified in clause 3.6.1 continues to exist whereupon the normal interest rate fixing provisions for this Agreement shall apply.

3.7 Margin increase

3.7.1 The Lenders shall have the right, in respect of each Advance, to request for an increase in the Applicable Margin of 2.70% per annum by any percentage rate per annum that the Lenders consider appropriate at the time, by serving notice in writing to this effect to the Borrowers and the K-sure Agent at any time after the date falling two (2) months prior to the Sixth Anniversary of such Advance (each such notice, an "Applicable Margin Notice"). The K-sure Agent shall promptly after receipt of the Applicable Margin Notice send a copy thereof to K-sure.

23

3.7.2 The Borrowers shall advise the Lenders and the K-sure Agent whether or not they agree to the margin increase request set out in the relevant Applicable Margin within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Applicable Margin Notice.

3.7.3 In the event that the Borrowers agree to the Lenders request as set out in the relevant Applicable Margin Notice and provided always that K-sure has also agreed in writing to the proposed margin increase set out therein, then the relevant increased margin shall apply in relation to any Interest Period (or part thereof) of the relevant Advance commencing on or falling after the Sixth Anniversary of such Advance.

3.7.4 In the event that either the Borrowers or K-sure do not agree to the Lenders request as set out in the relevant Applicable Margin Notice, then the provisions of clause 4.4 may apply.  For the avoidance of any doubt, it is understood by the parties hereto that as long as the Lenders do not exercise their rights to ask for the mandatory prepayment of the Advance in relation to which an Applicable Margin Notice has been given and has been rejected pursuant to this clause 3.7, the Applicable Margin for such Advance shall remain set at 2.70% per annum.

3.7.5 In the event that the Borrowers fail to respond to an Applicable Margin Notice by the date set out in clause 3.7.2, it shall be deemed that the Borrowers have accepted the Lenders request as set out in such Applicable Margin Notice.  In the event that K-sure fails to advise the Lenders (through the K-sure Agent) of its decision in relation to the relevant Applicable Margin Notice by the date set out in clause 3.7.2, it shall be deemed that K-sure has rejected the Lenders request as set out in the relevant Applicable Margin Notice.

4 Repayment and prepayment

4.3 Mandatory Prepayment on Total Loss or sale

4.3.2 notwithstanding clause 4.3.1, if a Mortgaged Ship is sold or becomes a Total Loss and an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Borrowers shall, on the Disposal Reduction Date for such Mortgaged Ship, prepay such proportion of the Loan as the Facility Agent may require in its absolute discretion.

5.5.3 The Borrowers acknowledge that the amounts of any K-sure Premiums will be solely determined by K-sure and no Finance Party is in any way involved in the determination of the amount of the K-sure Premiums and agree that the Borrowers shall have no claim or defence against any Finance Party in connection with the amount of the K-sure Premiums or any of them.

6 Payments and taxes; calculations

6.1 No set-off or counterclaim; distribution to the Lenders

The Borrowers acknowledge that in performing their obligations under this Agreement, the Lenders will be incurring liabilities to third parties in relation to the funding of amounts to the Borrowers, such liabilities matching the liabilities of the Borrowers to the Lenders and that it is reasonable for the Lenders to be entitled to receive payments from the Borrowers gross on the due date in order that each of the Lenders is put in a position to perform its matching obligations to the relevant third parties.  Accordingly, all payments to be made by the Borrowers under any of the Security Documents shall be made in full, without any set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and, subject as provided in clause 6.7, free and clear of any deductions or withholdings, in Dollars (except for costs, charges or expenses which shall be paid in the currency in which they are incurred) on the due date to the account of the Facility Agent at such bank in such place as the Facility Agent may from time to time specify for this

29

purpose. Save for payments which are for the account of the Swap Provider and save as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any relevant Security Documents, such payments shall be for the account of all Lenders and the Facility Agent shall distribute such payments in like funds as are received by the Facility Agent to the Lenders rateably in accordance with their respective Commitments (if prior to the first drawdown) or Contributions (if following the first drawdown), as the case may be.

6.2 Payment by the Lenders

All sums to be advanced by the Lenders to the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be remitted in Dollars on the relevant Drawdown Date (or earlier) to the account of the Facility Agent at ABN AMRO Bank N.V., Beneficiaries name: ABN AMRO Bank N.V., Rotterdam Swift Code: FTSBNL2R, Account No. 63 70 70 34 27 41 of ABNAMRO, Rotterdam, Reference: "For further credit /Account No. NL98FTSBO251189694/ Olympian Athena Owners Inc., Olympian Aphrodite Owners Inc. and Olympian Dionysus Owners Inc." or at such other bank as the Facility Agent may have notified to the Lenders and shall be paid by the Facility Agent on such date in like funds as are received by the Facility Agent to the account or accounts specified in the relevant Drawdown Notice. The Borrowers acknowledge that any amounts paid to the account of the Builder shall constitute amounts advanced to the Borrowers as part of the relevant Advance.

6.3 Non-Banking Days

When any payment under any of the Security Documents would otherwise be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, the due date for payment shall be extended to the next following Banking Day unless such Banking Day falls in the next calendar month in which case payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Banking Day.

6.4 Facility Agent may assume receipt

Where any sum is to be paid under this Agreement to the Facility Agent for the account of another person, the Facility Agent may assume that the payment will be made when due and may (but shall not be obliged to) make such sum available to the person so entitled.  If it proves to be the case that such payment was not made to the Facility Agent, then the person to whom such sum was so made available shall on request refund such sum to the Facility Agent together with interest thereon sufficient to compensate the Facility Agent for the cost of making available such sum up to the date of such repayment and the person by whom such sum was payable shall indemnify the Facility Agent for any and all loss or expense which the Facility Agent may sustain or incur as a consequence of such sum not having been paid on its due date.

6.5 Calculations

All interest and other payments of an annual nature under any of the Security Documents shall accrue from day to day and be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year.

6.6 Certificates

Any certificate or determination of the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee or any Lender or the Swap Provider as to any rate of interest, rate of exchange or any other amount pursuant to and for the purposes of any of the Security Documents shall in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and (in the case of a certificate or determination by the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee) on the other Finance Parties.

6.7 Grossing-up for Taxes

6.7.1 If at any time the Borrowers or any of them are required to make any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes from any payment due under any of the Security Documents for the account of any Finance Party (or if the Facility Agent, the K-sure Agent or the Security Trustee

12.2.1 subject any Lender to Taxes or change the basis of Taxation of any Lender with respect to any payment under any of the Security Documents (other than Taxes or Taxation on the overall net income, profits or gains of such Lender imposed in the jurisdiction in which its principal or lending office under this Agreement is located); and/or

63

12.2.2 increase the cost to, or impose an additional cost on, the Lender or its holding company in making or keeping such Lender's Commitment available or maintaining or funding all or part of such Lender's Contribution; and/or

12.2.3 reduce the amount payable or the effective return to any Lender under any of the Security Documents; and/or

12.2.4 reduce any Lender's or its holding company's rate of return on its overall capital by reason of a change in the manner in which it is required to allocate capital resources to such Lender's obligations under any of the Security Documents; and/or

12.2.5 require any Lender or its holding company to make a payment or forego a return on or calculated by reference to any amount received or receivable by such Lender under any of the Security Documents; and/or

12.2.6 require any Lender or its holding company to incur or sustain a loss (including a loss of future potential profits) by reason of being obliged to deduct all or part of such Lender's Commitment or Contribution from its capital for regulatory purposes,

then and in each such case (subject to clause 12.3):

(a) such Lender shall notify the Borrowers through the Facility Agent in writing of such event promptly upon its becoming aware of the same; and

(b) the Borrowers shall on demand, made at any time whether or not such Lender's Contribution has been repaid, pay to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender the amount which such Lender specifies (in a certificate setting forth the basis of the computation of such amount but not including any matters which such Lender or its holding company regards as confidential) is required to compensate such Lender and/or (as the case may be) its holding company for such liability to Taxes, cost, reduction, payment, foregone return or loss.

For the purposes of this clause 12.2 "holding company" means the company or entity (if any) within the consolidated supervision of which a Lender is included.

12.3 Exception

12.3.1 Nothing in clause 12.2 shall entitle any Lender to receive any amount in respect of compensation for any such liability to Taxes, increased or additional cost, reduction, payment, foregone return or loss to the extent that the same is the subject of an additional payment under clause 6.7 which fully compensates that Lender.

12.3.2 Nothing in clause 12.2 shall entitle any Lender to receive any amount in respect of compensation for a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party.

13 Security and set-off

13.2 Set-off

(a) Each Borrower authorises each Lender (without prejudice to any of the Lenders' rights at law, in equity or otherwise), at any time and without notice to the Borrowers, to apply any credit balance to which the relevant Borrower is then entitled standing upon any account of the relevant Borrower with any branch of such Lender in or towards satisfaction of any sum due and payable from the Borrowers or any of them to such Lender under any of the Security Documents. For this purpose, each Lender is authorised to purchase with the moneys standing to the credit of such account such other currencies as may be necessary to effect such application. No Lender shall be obliged to exercise any right given to it by this clause 13.2. Each Lender shall notify the Facility Agent and the Borrowers forthwith upon the exercise or purported exercise of any right of set-off giving full details in relation thereto and the Facility Agent shall inform the other Lenders.

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

65

13.3 Pro rata payments

13.3.1 If at any time any Lender (the "Recovering Lender") receives or recovers any amount owing to it by the Borrowers under this Agreement by direct payment, set-off or in any manner other than by payment through the Facility Agent pursuant to clauses 6.1 or 6.9 (not being a payment received from a Transferee Lender or a sub-participant in such Lender's Contribution or any other payment of an amount due to the Recovering Lender for its sole account pursuant to clauses 3.6, 5, 6.7, 11.1, 11.2, 12.1 or 12.2) the Recovering Lender shall, within two (2) Banking Days of such receipt or recovery (a "Relevant Receipt") notify the Facility Agent and the Lenders of the amount of the Relevant Receipt. If the Relevant Receipt exceeds the amount which the Recovering Lender would have received if the Relevant Receipt had been received by the Facility Agent and distributed pursuant to clauses 6.1 or 6.9 (as the case may be) then:

(a) within two (2) Banking Days of demand by the Facility Agent, the Recovering Lender shall pay to the Facility Agent an amount equal (or equivalent) to the excess;

(b) the Facility Agent shall treat the excess amount so paid by the Recovering Lender as if it were a payment made by the Borrowers and shall distribute the same to the Lenders (other than the Recovering Lender) in accordance with clause 6.9; and

(c) as between the Borrowers and the Recovering Lender the excess amount so re-distributed, shall be treated as not having been paid but the obligations of the Borrowers to the other Lenders shall, to the extent of the amount so re-distributed to them, be treated as discharged.

13.3.2 If by reason of the order of any court of competent jurisdiction any part of the Relevant Receipt subsequently has to be wholly or partly refunded by the Recovering Lender (whether to a liquidator or otherwise) each Lender to which any part of such Relevant Receipt was so re-distributed shall on request from the Recovering Lender repay to the Recovering Lender such Lender's pro-rata share of the amount which has to be refunded by the Recovering Lender.

13.3.3 Each Lender 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 13.3

13.3.4 Nothwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause 13.3, no Recovering Lender shall be obliged to share any Relevant Receipt which it receives or recovers pursuant to legal proceedings taken by it to recover any sums owing to it under this Agreement with any other party which has a legal right to, but does not, either join in such proceedings or commence and diligently pursue separate proceedings to enforce its rights in the same or another court (unless the proceedings instituted by the Recovering Lender are instituted by it without prior notice having been given to such party through the Facility Agent).

13.4 No release

For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that failure by any Recovering Lender to comply with the provisions of clause 13.3 shall not release any other Recovering Lender from any of its obligations or liabilities under clause 13.3.

13.5 No charge

The provisions of this clause 13 shall not, and shall not be construed so as to, constitute a charge or other security interest by a Finance Party over all or any part of a sum received or recovered by it in the circumstances mentioned in clause 13.3.

14.1.3 procure that (i) all moneys payable to a Borrower in respect of the Earnings of such Borrower's Ship shall, unless and until the Facility Agent directs to the contrary pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Deed of Covenant relevant to such Ship, be paid to such Borrower's Operating Account and (ii) all moneys payable to the Borrowers under the Master Swap Agreement, be paid to one or more Operating Accounts which are subject to the Operating Accounts Pledge Provided however that if any of the moneys paid to any of the Operating Accounts are payable in a currency other than Dollars, the Account Bank shall (and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally instruct the Account Bank to) convert such moneys into Dollars at the Account Bank's spot rate of exchange at the relevant time for the purchase of Dollars with such currency and the term "spot rate of exchange" shall include any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of Dollars with such currency.

14.2 Account terms

Amounts standing to the credit of any Account shall (unless otherwise agreed between the Account Bank and the Borrowers or, in the case of Liquidity Account, the Olympian Asclepius Guarantor) bear interest at the rates from time to time offered by the Account Bank to its customers for Dollar deposits in comparable amounts for comparable periods.  Interest shall accrue on each Account from day to day and be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and shall be credited to the relevant Account at such times as the Account Bank and the Borrowers or in the case of Liquidity Account, the Olympian Asclepius Guarantor, shall agree.

14.3 Operating Accounts: withdrawals

Unless the Facility Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) otherwise agrees in writing, no Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw any moneys from its Operating Account at any time from the date of this Agreement and so long as any moneys are owing under the Security Documents save that, unless and until a Default shall occur and the Facility Agent shall direct to the contrary, each Borrower may provided however that as regards withdrawals made on a Retention Date, such Borrower shall have first fulfilled its obligations pursuant to clause 14.4 falling due on such dates withdraw moneys from its Operating Account for the following purposes in the following sequential order:

14.3.1 to pay any amount to the Facility Agent in or towards payments of any instalments of interest or principal or any other amounts then payable pursuant to the Security Documents;

14.4.2 Unless and until there shall occur an Event of Default (whereupon the provisions of clause 14.6 shall apply), all Retention Amounts credited to the Retention Account together with interest from time to time accruing or at any time accrued on any amounts standing to the credit of the Retention Account from time to time, shall be applied by the Account Bank (and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorise the Account Bank so to apply the same) upon each Repayment Date and/or on each day that interest is payable pursuant to clause 3.1, in or towards payment to the Facility Agent of the relevant instalment then falling due for repayment or, as the case may be, the relevant amount of interest then due.  Each such application by the Account Bank shall constitute a payment in or towards satisfaction of the Borrowers' corresponding payment obligations under this Agreement but shall be strictly without prejudice to the obligations of each of the Borrowers to make any such payment to the extent that the aforesaid application by the Account Bank is insufficient to meet the same.

14.4.3 Unless the Facility Agent otherwise agrees in writing, none of the Borrowers shall be entitled to withdraw any moneys from the Retention Account at any time from the date of this Agreement and so long as any moneys are owing under the Security Documents.

The Existing Lender shall give prior written notice of such assignment or transfer to the Facility Agent and the other Lenders. The consent of the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee, the Account Bank, the Arrangers or the Swap Provider to an assignment or transfer by a Lender is not required. The consent of the Borrowers to an assignment or transfer by a Lender is not required (including in the case of a transfer for the purposes of a securitisation or other similar transaction in relation to this Agreement). An assignment will only be effective on receipt by the Facility Agent of written confirmation from the New Lender (in form and substance satisfactory to the Facility Agent) that the New Lender will assume the same obligations to the other Finance Parties as it would have been under if it was an Existing Lender.

15.3.2 A transfer will only be effective if the procedure set out in clause 15.3.3 is complied with.

15.3.3 No such transfer is binding on, or effective in relation to, the Borrowers or the Facility Agent unless it is effected or evidenced by a Substitution Certificate which complies with the provisions of this clause 15.3 and is signed by or on behalf of the Existing Lender, the New Lender and the Facility Agent (on behalf of itself, the Borrowers, the Security Trustee, the Swap Provider, the Account Bank and the other Lenders). Upon signature of any such Substitution Certificate by the Facility Agent, which signature shall be effected as promptly as is practicable after such Substitution Certificate has been delivered to the Facility Agent, and subject to the terms of such Substitution Certificate, such Substitution Certificate shall have effect as set out below. The following further provisions shall have effect in relation to any Substitution Certificate:

(a) a Substitution Certificate may be in respect of a Lender's rights in respect of all or part, of its Commitment and shall be in respect of the same proportion of its Contribution;

(b) a Substitution Certificate shall only be in respect of rights and obligations of the Existing Lender in its capacity as a Lender and shall not transfer its rights and obligations as an agent, or in any other capacity, as the case may be and such other rights and obligations may only be transferred in accordance with any applicable provisions of this Agreement;

(c) a Substitution Certificate shall take effect in accordance with English law as follows:

(i) to the extent specified in the Substitution Certificate, the Existing Lender's payment rights and all its other rights (other than those referred to in sub-clause 15.3.3(b)) under this Agreement are assigned to the New Lender

69

absolutely, free of any defects in the Existing Lender's title and of any rights or equities which the Borrowers or any of them had against the Existing Lender;

(ii) the Existing Lender's Commitment is discharged to the extent specified in the Substitution Certificate;

(iii) the New Lender becomes a Lender with a Contribution and/or a Commitment of the amounts specified in the Substitution Certificate;

(iv) the New Lender becomes bound by all the provisions of this Agreement and the other Security Documents which are applicable to the Lenders, including those about pro-rata sharing and the exclusion of liability on the part of, and the indemnification of, the Arrangers, the Facility Agent and the Security Trustee in accordance with clause 16 and to the extent that the New Lender becomes bound by those provisions, the Existing Lender ceases to be bound by them;

(v) an Advance or part of an Advance which the New Lender makes after the Substitution Certificate comes into effect ranks in point of priority and security in the same way as it would have ranked had it been made by the Existing Lender, assuming that any defects in the Existing Lender's title and any rights or equities of any Security Party against the Existing Lender had not existed; and

(vi) the New Lender becomes entitled to all the rights under this Agreement which are applicable to the Lenders generally and those under clauses 3.6, 5 and 12 and to the extent that the New Lender becomes entitled to such rights, the Existing Lender ceases to be entitled to them;

15.3.4 the rights and equities of the Borrowers or of any other Security Party referred to above include, but are not limited to, any right of set-off and any other kind of cross-claim; and

15.3.5 the Borrowers, the Account Bank, the Security Trustee, the Arrangers, the Swap Provider and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorise and instruct the Facility Agent to sign any such Substitution Certificate on their behalf and undertake not to withdraw, revoke or qualify such authority or instruction at any time.  Promptly upon its signature of any Substitution Certificate, the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrowers, the Security Trustee, the Existing Lender, the New Lender and each of the other Finance Parties.

15.4 Reliance on Substitution Certificate

15.4.1 The Facility Agent shall be entitled to rely on any Substitution Certificate believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been presented or signed by the persons by whom it purports to have been presented or signed, and shall not be liable to any of the parties to this Agreement and the Security Documents for the consequences of such reliance.

15.4.2 The Facility Agent shall at all times during the continuation of this Agreement maintain a register in which it shall record the name, Commitments, Contributions and administrative details (including the lending office) from time to time of the Lenders holding a Substitution Certificate and the date at which the transfer referred to in such Substitution Certificate held by each Lender was transferred to such Lender, and the Facility Agent shall make the said register available for inspection by any Lender and any Borrower during normal banking hours upon receipt by the Facility Agent of reasonable prior notice requesting the Facility Agent to do so.

15.4.3 The entries on the said register shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive in determining the identities of the Commitments, the Contributions and the Substitution Certificates held by the Lenders from time to time and the principal amounts of such Substitution Certificates and may be relied upon by the Facility Agent and the other Security Parties for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the Security Documents.

70

15.5 Fees and expenses

If any Lender assigns or transfers of all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations under the Security Documents, it shall pay to the Facility Agent on demand a fee of one thousand five hundred Dollars ($1,500) (for its own account) together with all costs, fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses), and all value added tax thereon, verified by the Facility Agent as having been incurred by it in connection with such transfer.

15.6 Documenting assignments and transfers

If any Lender transfers all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations as provided in clause 15.3, each of the Borrowers undertakes with each Finance Party, immediately on being requested to do so by the Facility Agent and at the cost of the Borrowers, to enter into, and procure that the other Security Parties shall (at the cost of the Borrowers) enter into, such documents as may be necessary or desirable to transfer to the New Lender all or the relevant part of such Lender's interest in the Security Documents and all relevant references in this Agreement to such Lender shall thereafter be construed as a reference to the Existing Lender and/or its New Lender (as the case may be) to the extent of their respective interests.

15.7 Sub-participation

A Lender may sub-participate all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under the Security Documents without the consent of the Borrowers or any other Finance Party but subject to giving prior written notice to the Facility Agent.

15.8 Lending offices

Each Lender shall lend through its office at the address specified in Schedule 1 or, as the case may be, in any relevant Substitution Certificate or through any other office of such Lender selected from time to time by such Lender through which such Lender wishes to lend for the purposes of this Agreement.  If the office through which a Lender is lending is changed pursuant to this clause 15.8, such Lender shall notify the Facility Agent promptly of such change and the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the other Finance Parties.

15.10 Transfer to K-sure

If a Lender receives a payment from K-sure under any K-sure Policy in respect of its Contribution, then, to the extent that it is required to do so by K-sure pursuant to the terms of the relevant K-sure Policy, that Lender shall, at the cost of the Borrowers and without the Borrowers' consent, transfer to K-sure a part of its Contribution equal to the amount paid to it by K-sure (but the transfer shall not limit the rights of that Lender to recover any remaining part of its Contribution or of any other moneys owing to it), Provided however that if K-sure makes any payment to the Lenders under any K-sure Policy:

16.5.3 be obliged to enquire whether or not any representation or warranty made by the Borrowers or any of them or any other Security Party pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents is true; or

16.5.4 be obliged to do anything (including, without limitation, disclosing any document or information) which would, or might in its opinion, be contrary to any law or regulation or be a breach of any duty of confidentiality or otherwise be actionable or render it liable to any person; or

16.5.5 be obliged to account to any Lender or the Swap Provider for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account; or

16.5.6 be obliged to institute any legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents or any of the K-sure Policies other than on the instructions of the Lenders; or

For the purposes of this clause 16, neither of the Arrangers nor the K-sure Agent nor the Facility Agent shall be treated as having actual knowledge of any matter of which the corporate finance or any other division outside the agency or loan administration department of either Arranger or the person for the time being acting as the K-sure Agent or the person for the time being acting as the Facility Agent may become aware in the context of corporate finance, advisory or lending activities from time to time undertaken by either Arranger or, as the case may be, the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the K-sure Agent for any Security Party or any other person which may be a trade competitor of any Security Party or may otherwise have commercial interests similar to those of any Security Party.

16.6 Non-reliance on Arranger or Facility Agent or K-sure Agent

Each Lender and the Swap Provider acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, opinion, forecast or other representation made by the Arrangers or the Facility Agent or the K-sure Agent to induce it to enter into this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents or any of the K-sure Policies and that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance on the Arrangers or the Facility Agent or the K-sure Agent and based on such documents as it considers appropriate, its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Security Parties and K-sure and its own independent investigation of the financial condition, prospects and affairs of the Security Parties or K-sure in connection with the making and continuation of such Lender's Commitment or Contribution under this Agreement. Neither of the Arrangers nor the Facility Agent nor the K-sure Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect to any Security Party or K-sure whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loan or

74

at any time or times thereafter other than as provided in clause 16.3.1 or, the case of the K-sure Agent, clause 16.32.1.

16.7 No responsibility on Arrangers, the K-sure Agent or the Facility Agent for Borrowers' performance

Neither of the Arrangers nor the K-sure Agent nor the Facility Agent shall have any responsibility or liability to any Lender:

16.7.1 on account of the failure of any Security Party to perform its obligations under any of the Security Documents or of K-sure to perform its obligations under any of the K-sure Policies; or

16.7.2 for the financial condition of any Security Party or K-sure; or

16.7.3 for the completeness or accuracy of any statements, representations or warranties in any of the Security Documents or any of the K-sure Policies or any document delivered under any of the Security Documents or any of the K-sure Policies; or

16.7.4 for the execution, effectiveness, adequacy, genuineness, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of any of the Security Documents or any of the K-sure Policies or of any certificate, report or other document executed or delivered under any of the Security Documents or any of the K-sure Policies; or

16.7.5 to investigate or make any enquiry into the title of any of the Borrowers or any other Security Party to the Ships or any other security or any part thereof; or

16.7.6 for the failure to register any of the Security Documents or any of the K-sure Policies with any official or regulatory body or office or elsewhere; or

16.7.7 for taking or omitting to take any other action under or in relation to any of the Security Documents of any of the K-sure Policies or any aspect of any of the Security Documents or any of the K-sure Policies; or

16.7.8 on account of the failure of the Security Trustee to perform or discharge any of its duties or obligations under the Security Documents; or

16.7.9 otherwise in connection with this Agreement or its negotiation or for acting (or, as the case may be, refraining from acting) in accordance with the instructions of the Lenders.

16.8 Reliance on documents and professional advice

Each of the Arrangers, the K-sure Agent and the Facility Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person and shall be entitled to rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it (including those in an Arranger's or, as the case may be, the Facility Agent's or, as the case may be, the K-sure Agent's employment).

16.9 Other dealings

Each of the Arrangers, the K-sure Agent and the Facility Agent may, without any liability to account to the Lenders, accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with, and provide advisory or other services to, any Security Party or any of its Related Companies or any of the Lenders or K-sure as if it were not an Arranger or, as the case may be, the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the K-sure Agent.

16.10 Rights of Facility Agent as Lender; no partnership

With respect to its own Commitment and Contribution (if any) the Facility Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Security Documents as any other Lender and may exercise

75

the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it under this Agreement and the term "Lenders" shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Facility Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. This Agreement shall not and shall not be construed so as to constitute a partnership between the parties or any of them.

16.11 Amendments and waivers

16.11.1 Subject always to the requirements of the K-Sure Policies, the Facility Agent may, with the written consent of all Lenders (or if and to the extent expressly authorised by the other provisions of any of the Security Documents) and, if so instructed by all Lenders, shall:

(a) agree (or authorise the Security Trustee to agree) amendments or modifications to any of the Security Documents with the Borrowers and/or any other Security Party; and/or

(b) vary or waive breaches of, or defaults under, or otherwise excuse performance of, any provision of any of the other Security Documents by the Borrowers and/or any other Security Party (or authorise the Security Trustee to do so).

Any such action so authorised and effected by the Facility Agent shall be documented in such manner as the Facility Agent shall (with the approval of all Lenders) determine, shall be promptly notified to the Lenders by the Facility Agent and (without prejudice to the generality of clause 16.2) shall be binding on all the Finance Parties.

16.11.2 No amendment or waiver may be made before the date falling ten (10) business days after the terms of that amendment or waiver have been notified by the Facility Agent to the Lenders. The Facility Agent shall notify the Lenders reasonably promptly of any amendments or waivers proposed by the Borrowers.

16.11.3 If the Facility Agent or a Lender reasonably believes that an amendment or waiver may constitute a "material modification" for the purposes of FATCA that may result (directly or indirectly) in a Party being required to make a FATCA Deduction and the Facility Agent or that Lender (as the case may be) notifies the Borrowers and the Facility Agent accordingly, that amendment or waiver may not be effected without the consent of the Facility Agent or that Lender (as the case may be).

16.12 Reimbursement and indemnity by Lenders

Each Lender shall reimburse the Facility Agent (rateably in accordance with such Lender's Commitment or, if after the first drawdown, Contribution), to the extent that the Facility Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrowers, for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Facility Agent which are expressed to be payable by the Borrowers under clause 5.2 including (in each case) the fees and expenses of legal or other professional advisers. Each Lender shall on demand indemnify the Facility Agent (rateably in accordance with such Lender's Commitment or, if after the first drawdown, Contribution) against all liabilities, damages, costs and claims whatsoever incurred by the Facility Agent in connection with any of the Security Documents or the performance of its duties under any of the Security Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Facility Agent under any of the Security Documents, unless such liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise from the Facility Agent's own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

16.13 Retirement of Facility Agent

16.13.1 The Facility Agent may, having given to the Borrowers, each of the Lenders and the Swap Provider not less than fifteen (15) days' notice of its intention to do so, retire from its appointment as Facility Agent under this Agreement, provided that no such retirement shall take effect unless there has been appointed by the Lenders and the Swap Provider as a successor agent:

16.13.2 Upon any such successor as aforesaid being appointed, the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from any further obligation under the Security Documents (but shall continue to have the benefit of this clause 16 in respect of any action it has taken or refrained from taking prior to such discharge) and its successor and each of the other parties to this Agreement shall have the same rights and obligations among themselves as they would have had if such successor had been a party to this Agreement in place of the retiring Facility Agent. The retiring Facility Agent shall (at the expense of the Borrowers) provide its successor with copies of such of its records as its successor reasonably requires to carry out its functions under the Security Documents.

16.13.3 The Facility Agent shall retire in accordance with clause 16.13.1 if on or after the date which is three (3) months before the earliest FATCA Application Date relating to any payment to the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents, either:

(a) the Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under clause 8.1.18 and a Lender reasonably believes 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

(b) the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to clause 8.1.18 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

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

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

(ii) the information supplied by the Security Trustee pursuant to clause 8.1.18 indicates that the Security Trustee will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date; or

78

(iii) the Security Trustee notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the Security Trustee will not be (or will have ceased to be) a FATCA Exempt Party on or after that FATCA Application Date,

16.15 Powers and duties of the Security Trustee

16.15.1 The Security Trustee shall have no duties, obligations or liabilities to the Facility Agent, the Swap Provider or any of the Lenders and the Facility Agent beyond those expressly stated in any of the Security Documents. Each of the Facility Agent, the K-sure Agent, the Swap Provider and the Lenders hereby authorises the Security Trustee to enter into and execute:

16.15.3 The Security Trustee shall (subject to the other provisions of this clause 16) take such action or, as the case may be, refrain from taking such action, with respect to any of its rights, powers and discretions as security agent and trustee, as the Facility Agent may direct.  Subject as provided in the foregoing provisions of this clause, unless and until the Security Trustee shall have received such instructions from the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee may, but shall not be obliged to, take (or refrain from taking) such action under or pursuant to the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.14.1 as the Security Trustee shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Finance Parties provided that (for the avoidance of doubt), to the extent that this clause might otherwise be construed as authorising the Security Trustee to take, or refrain from taking, any action of the nature referred to in clause 16.15.2 - and for which the prior written consent of the Lenders is expressly required under clause16.5.2 - clause 16.15.2 shall apply to the exclusion of this clause.

16.15.4 None of the Lenders nor the Swap Provider nor the Facility Agent nor the K-sure Agent shall have any independent power to enforce any of the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.14.1 or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to such Security Documents or any of them or otherwise have direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by such Security Documents or any of them except through the Security Trustee.

79

16.15.5 For the purpose of this clause 16, the Security Trustee may, rely and act in reliance upon any information from time to time furnished to the Security Trustee by the Facility Agent (whether pursuant to clause 16.15.6 or otherwise) unless and until the same is superseded by further such information, so that the Security Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to any party as a consequence of placing reliance on and acting in reliance upon any such information unless the Security Trustee has actual knowledge that such information is inaccurate or incorrect.

16.15.6 Without prejudice to the foregoing each of the Facility Agent, the Swap Provider and the Lenders (whether directly or through the Facility Agent) shall provide the Security Trustee with such written information as it may reasonably require for the purpose of carrying out its duties and obligations under the Security Documents referred to in clause 16.14.1.

16.15.7 Each Lender shall reimburse the Security Trustee (rateably in accordance with such Lender's Commitment or, if after the first drawdown, Contribution), to the extent that the Security Trustee is not reimbursed by the Borrowers, for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Facility Agent which are expressed to be payable by the Borrowers under clause 5.2 including (in each case) the fees and expenses of legal or other professional advisers. Each Lender shall on demand indemnify the Security Trustee (rateably in accordance with such Lender's Commitment or, if after the first drawdown, Contribution) against all liabilities, damages, costs and claims whatsoever incurred by the Security Trustee in connection with any of the Security Documents or the performance of its duties under any of the Security Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Security Trustee under any of the Security Documents, unless such liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise from the Security Trustee's own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

16.16 Trust provisions

16.16.1 In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Security Documents specified in clause 16.14.1, the Security Trustee shall, without prejudice to any of the powers, discretions and immunities conferred upon trustees by law (and to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of any of those Security Documents), have all the same powers and discretions as a natural person acting as the beneficial owner of such property and/or as are conferred upon the Security Trustee by any of those Security Documents.

Any investment of any part or all of the security may, at the discretion of the Security Trustee, be made or retained in the names of nominees.

16.17 Independent action by Finance Parties

None of the Finance Parties shall enforce, exercise any rights, remedies or powers or grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to, or otherwise have a direct recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by any of the Security Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders but, Provided such consent has been obtained, it shall not be necessary for any other Finance Party to be joined as an additional party in any proceedings for this purpose.

80

16.18 Common Facility Agent, K-sure Agent and Security Trustee

The Facility Agent, the K-sure Agent and the Security Trustee have entered into the Security Documents in their separate capacities (a) as agent for the Lenders and the Swap Provider under and pursuant to this Agreement (in the case of the Facility Agent), (b) as agent for the Lenders under or pursuant to this Agreement (in the case of the K-sure Agent) and (c) as security agent and trustee for the Lenders, the Facility Agent, the K-sure Agent and the Swap Provider under and pursuant to this Agreement, to hold the guarantees and/or security created by the Security Documents specified in clause 16.14.1 on the terms set out in such Security Documents (in the case of the Security Trustee).  However, from time to time the Facility Agent, the K-sure Agent and/or the Security Trustee may be the same entity. When the Facility Agent and/or the K-sure Agent and/or the Security Trustee are the same entity and any Security Document provides for the Facility Agent and/or the K-sure Agent and/or the Security Trustee to communicate with or provide instructions to each other (and vice versa), it will not be necessary for there to be any such formal communications or instructions on those occasions so long as the relevant parties to such communication or instructions are one and the same entity.

16.19 Co-operation to achieve agreed priorities of application

The Lenders, the Facility Agent and the Swap Provider shall co-operate with each other and with the Security Trustee and any receiver under the Security Documents in realising the property and assets subject to the Security Documents and in ensuring that the net proceeds realised under the Security Documents after deduction of the expenses of realisation are applied in accordance with clause 13.1 (unless otherwise expressly provided for in any such Security Document).

16.20 Prompt distribution of proceeds

Moneys received by any of the Finance Parties (whether from a receiver or otherwise) pursuant to the exercise of (or otherwise by virtue of the existence of) any rights and powers under or pursuant to any of the Security Documents or (in the case of the K-sure Agent) the K-sure Policy shall (after providing for all costs, charges, expenses and liabilities and other payments ranking in priority) be paid to the Facility Agent for distribution (in the case of moneys so received by any of the Finance Parties other than the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee) and shall be distributed by the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee (in the case of moneys so received by the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee) in each case in accordance with clause 13.1.  The Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee shall make each such application and/or distribution as soon as is practicable after the relevant moneys are received by, or otherwise become available to, the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee save that (without prejudice to any other provision contained in any of the Security Documents) the Facility Agent or, as the case may be, the Security Trustee (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) or any receiver may credit any moneys received by it to a suspense account for so long and in such manner as the Facility Agent or such receiver may from time to time determine with a view to preserving the rights of the Facility Agent and/or the Security Trustee and/or the Account Bank and/or the Arrangers and/or the Swap Provider and/or the Lenders or any of them to provide for the whole of their respective claims against the Borrowers or any other person liable.  Furthermore, any moneys the K-sure Agent receives under or pursuant to any of the K-sure Policies or distribution by the Facility Agent shall not be deemed to satisfy, reduce, release or prejudice any of the obligations of any Security Party under any Finance Document in whole or in part which obligations shall remain due and payable notwithstanding the receipt or distribution of such moneys under or pursuant to the relevant K-sure Policy.

16.27.9 The Account Bank shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, decree, certification, demand, notice, or other written instrument delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or validity or the service thereof. The Account Bank may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorised to do so. The Borrowers acknowledge that they are fully aware of the risks associated with transmitting instructions via facsimile and telephone.

16.27.14 The obligations and duties of the Account Bank will be performed only by the Account Bank and, except to the extent required under any applicable law, are not obligations or duties of any other person (including any branch or office of the Account Bank) and the rights of the Borrowers and the Security Trustee with respect to the Account Bank extend only to such Account Bank and, except to the extent required under any applicable law, do not extend to any other person.

In all cases any change of the Account Bank shall be made at the cost of the Finance Parties.

16.28.5 Upon the appointment of a successor, the retiring Account Bank shall be discharged from any further obligation in respect of the Security Documents but shall remain entitled to the benefit of clauses 16.21 to 16.28.

17.9 K-sure override

17.11 Conflict

In case of any conflict between the Security Documents and the K-sure Policy, the K-sure Policy shall prevail, and to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency, none of the Finance Parties shall assert to K-sure, the terms of the relevant Security Documents.
