If:

(i)

a Market Disruption Rate is specified in the Reference Rate Terms; and

(ii)

before the Reporting Time for the Loan or any part of the Loan, the Lender notifies the Borrowers that its cost of funds relating to its participation in the Loan or that part of the Loan would be in excess of that Market Disruption Rate,

then Clause 10.3 (Cost of funds) shall apply to the Loan or that part of the Loan (as applicable) for the relevant Interest Period.

10.3	Cost of funds

(a)

If this Clause 10.3 (Cost of funds) applies to the Loan or part of the Loan for an Interest Period, Clause 8.1 (Calculation of interest) shall not apply to the Loan or that part of the Loan for that Interest Period and the rate of interest on the Loan or that part of the Loan for that Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

(g)	If this Clause 10.3 (Cost of funds) applies, the Lender shall, as soon as is practicable, notify the Borrowers.

"Tax Credit" means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Tax.

"Tax Deduction" means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under a Finance Document, other than a FATCA Deduction.

"Tax Payment" means either the increase in a payment made by an Obligor to the Lender under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up) or a payment under Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity).

(b)

The Borrowers shall promptly upon 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 Lender accordingly. Similarly, the Lender shall notify the Borrowers and that Obligor on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to the Lender.

(c)	If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment due from that Obligor 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.

(e)

Within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Obligor making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to the Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Lender that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

12.3	Tax indemnity

(i)

with respect to any Tax assessed on the Lender:

(A)

under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which the Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(B)

under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Lender'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 the Lender; or

(ii)

to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 12.2 (Tax gross-up); or

(B)

relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party.

(c)	The Lender shall, if making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above, promptly notify the Obligors of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim.

12.4	Tax Credit

If an Obligor makes a Tax Payment and the Lender determines that:

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

(b)	the Lender has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

the Lender shall pay an amount to the Obligor which the Lender 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.

VAT

(a)

All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party to the Lender 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, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by the Lender to any Party under a Finance Document and the Lender is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to the Lender (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 the Lender must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).

(b)

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

(c)

Any reference in this Clause 12.6 (VAT) to any Party shall, at any time when that Party is treated as a member of a group or unity (or fiscal unity) for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated at that time as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the grouping rules provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union or equivalent provisions imposed elsewhere) so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or representative or head) of that group or unity at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(d)

17.4	Waiver of defences

The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity – Parent Guarantor) and in respect of any Transaction Security will not be affected or discharged by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 17.4 (Waiver of defences), would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 17 (Guarantee and Indemnity – Parent Guarantor) or in respect of any Transaction Security (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Lender) including:

(b)	the release of any other Transaction Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group;

the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect or delay in perfecting, or refusal or neglect to take up or enforce, or delay in taking or enforcing any rights against, or security over assets of, any Transaction Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

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

(e)

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

refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by the Lender (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

This guarantee and any other Security given by the Parent Guarantor is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by, and shall not prejudice, any other guarantee or Security or any other right of recourse now or subsequently held by the Lender or any right of set-off or netting or right to combine accounts in connection with the Finance Documents.

(a)	Clause 25.2 (Provision of additional security; prepayment) applies, if the Lender notifies the Borrowers that:

(i)

the aggregate Market Value of the Ships then subject to a Mortgage; plus

(ii)

the Minimum Liquidity Amount; plus

(iii)

the net realisable value of additional Security previously provided under this Clause 25 (Security Cover),

is below:

(A)

133 per cent. of the Loan, at any time when the Corporate Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 65 per cent.; or

(B)

143 per cent. of the Loan, at any time when the Corporate Leverage Ratio is higher than 65 per cent.

(the "Relevant Percentage").

(b)

For the purposes of determining which Relevant Percentage is applicable at any time during the Security Period, the Corporate Leverage Ratio shall be tested on a quarterly basis on each Security Cover Testing Date and shall determine the Relevant Percentage in relation to the security cover ratio set out in paragraph (a) above for the relevant financial quarter falling after the next Security Cover Testing Date (i.e. if for instance the Corporate Leverage Ratio as of 30 June is equal to or less than 65%, the applicable Relevant Percentage for the period 1 October to 31 December will be 133%, same test basis 30 September to determine the Relevant Percentage for the period 1 January to 31 March and so on hereafter).

(c)	For the purposes of this Clause 25.1 (Minimum required security cover) "Corporate Leverage Ratio" means, as at the date of calculation, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of Net Debt to Market Value Adjusted Total Assets.

25.2	Provision of additional security; prepayment

(a)

If the Lender serves a notice on the Borrowers under Clause 25.1 (Minimum required security cover), the Borrowers shall, on or before the date falling one Month after the date on which the Lender's notice is served (the "Prepayment Date"), prepay such part of the Loan as shall eliminate the shortfall. Any prepayment under this paragraph (a) of Clause 25.2 (Provision of additional security; prepayment) shall reduce the Tranches rateably and within each Tranche in inverse order of maturity the amount of each Repayment Instalment (including the Balloon Instalment) falling after that prepayment by the amount prepaid.

(b)	A Borrower may, instead of making a prepayment as described in paragraph (a) above, provide, or ensure that a third party has provided, additional security which, in the opinion of the Lender:

(i)

has a net realisable value at least equal to the shortfall; and

(ii)

is documented in such terms as the Lender may approve or require,

before the Prepayment Date; and conditional upon such security being provided in such manner, it shall satisfy such prepayment obligation.

25.3	Value of additional vessel security

The net realisable value of any additional security which is provided under Clause 25.2 (Provision of additional security; prepayment) which constitutes a first preferred or first priority mortgage over a vessel shall be the Market Value of the vessel concerned.

(b)	If a Borrower fails to provide the information referred to in paragraph (a) above by the date specified in the request, the valuation may be made on any basis and assumptions which the shipbroker or the Lender considers prudent.

25.6	Prepayment mechanism

Any prepayment pursuant to Clause 25.2 (Provision of additional security; prepayment) shall be made in accordance with the relevant provisions of Clause 7 (Prepayment and Cancellation) and shall be treated as a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Clause 7.4 (Voluntary prepayment of a Tranche).

The Borrower shall provide the Lender with a valuation (or, if required by the Lender, two valuations) of each Ship from an Approved Valuer and any other vessel over which additional Security has been created in accordance with Clause 25.2 (Provision of additional security; prepayment), to enable the Lender to determine the Fair Market Value of that Ship on (a) a Security Cover Testing Date and (b) any other date on which the Lender is of the reasonable opinion that the security cover ratio set out in Clause 25.1 (Minimum required security cover) may have been breached (such valuation being an "Interim Valuation"), PROVIDED that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower is required to prepay the Loan pursuant to Clause 7 (Prepayment and Cancellation), the Lender shall bear the cost of any subsequent Interim Valuations during that calendar year.

25.8	Frequency of valuations

The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Lender may require or commission valuations of the Ships and test the minimum required security cover pursuant to Clause 25.1 (Minimum required security cover) at any time the Lender shall deem necessary – and thus, the frequency of such testing shall neither be limited to the delivery of a Compliance Certificate nor the delivery of valuation statements on each Security Cover Testing Date – to the effect that a breach of the minimum value security cover shall be remedied by the Borrowers at the time of ascertainment of such breach by the Lender on or before the date falling one Month after such breach and Provided that the Borrowers shall only pay for the costs and expenses of the valuations referred to in Clause 25.7 (Provision of valuations).

25.9	Release of additional security

If at any time the Lender holds additional Cash security provided under this Clause 25 (Security Cover) and the Borrowers are in compliance with the minimum required security cover under Clause 25.1 (Minimum required security cover) for an immediate preceding consecutive period of three Months (without taking into account the Cash security to be released), the Borrower may six months after the date on which such additional security has been provided and by 30 days prior written notice to the Lender and at the Borrowers' expense, require the release and discharge of the relevant part of the additional security, Provided that the Borrowers demonstrate to the Lender that, if the test under Clause 25.1 (Minimum required security cover) were to be applied immediately following the release of such additional security, the Borrowers would be in compliance with the minimum required security cover under Clause 25.1 (Minimum required security cover). The Lender shall then promptly direct release and discharge the relevant part of that additional security if no Event of Default is then continuing or will result from such release and discharge.

as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment or change occurs, a Transaction Obligor would be obliged to make a payment to the New Lender or the Existing Lender acting through its new Facility Office under Clause 12 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) or under that Clause as incorporated by reference or in full in any other Finance Document or Clause 13 (Increased Costs),

then the New Lender or the Existing Lender acting through its new Facility Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Clauses to the same extent as the Existing Lender would have been if the assignment or change had not occurred.

(e)

Each Obligor on behalf of itself and each Transaction Obligor agrees that all rights and interests (present, future or contingent) which the Existing Lender has under or by virtue of the Finance Documents are assigned to the New Lender absolutely, free of any defects in the Existing Lender's title and of any rights or equities which the Borrowers or any other Transaction Obligor had against the Existing Lender.

(f)	No costs or expenses in relation to such an assignment or transfer shall be borne by any Transaction Obligor.

28.3	Security over Lender's rights

In addition to the other rights provided to the Lender under this Clause 28 (Changes to the Lender), the Lender may without consulting with or obtaining consent from any Transaction Obligor, at any time charge, assign or otherwise create Security in or over (whether by way of collateral or otherwise) all or any of its rights under any Finance Document to secure obligations of the Lender including, without limitation:

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

(b)	if the Lender is a fund, any charge, assignment or other Security granted to any holders (or trustee or representatives of holders) of obligations owed, or securities issued, by the Lender as security for those obligations or securities,

except that no such charge, assignment or Security shall:

(i)

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

(ii)

require any payments to be made by a Transaction 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 Lender under the Finance Documents.

29	CHANGES TO THE TRANSACTION OBLIGORS
