The Borrowers shall use the Vessel Loans for the purposes referred to in Recital (B).

2.2.

Subject to the satisfaction by the Borrowers of the conditions set out in Clause 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 (as the case may be), the Loan shall be advanced to the Borrowers or to their order in no more than four (4) Drawings (and only one (1) Drawing per Vessel Loan).

Each Drawing shall be advanced on a Business Day in Dollars and shall be by such method of funds transfer as the Agent shall determine, provided that the total amount advanced in connection with a Vessel shall, subject to the aggregate amount of the four (4) Vessel Loans not exceeding the maximum amount referred to at Clause 2.1, not exceed eighty per cent (80%) of the Purchase Price of that Vessel and the maximum amount specified for that Vessel in Schedule 6; and provided that the Borrowers shall have submitted a Drawdown Notice to the Agent not more than ten (10) and not fewer than three (3) Business Days before the required Advance Date for the Drawing or Drawings in question. Each Drawdown Notice shall be submitted to the Agent via email, with the original to follow via express mail. Each Drawdown Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a warranty by the Borrowers that all conditions precedent to the advance of the Drawing or Drawings in question will have been satisfied on or before the requested Advance Date; that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default will then have occurred, and that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default will result from the advance of the Drawing or Drawings in question.

The Agent shall, on receipt of the email copy of the Drawdown Notice, notify the Banks of the receipt of a Drawdown Notice, following which, each Bank shall advance its Proportionate Share of the relevant Drawing(s) to the Agent on the relevant Advance Date.

Any undrawn amounts in respect of a Vessel Loan shall automatically be cancelled on the earlier of (a) the Advance Date in respect of that Vessel Loan and (b) the day immediately after the Availability Termination Date.

REPAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT

5.1.

Subject to the provisions of this Clause 5.1, the Borrowers agree to repay each Vessel Loan by a series of consecutive equal semi-annual Repayment Instalments in accordance with Schedule 6, together (in each case, where applicable) with a balloon payment as set out in Schedule 6 payable on the Maturity Date of that Vessel Loan together with the final Repayment Instalment in respect of that Vessel Loan. The first Repayment Date in relation to each Vessel Loan shall be the date which is six (6) calendar months after the Advance Date in respect of that Vessel Loan and subsequent Repayment Dates for the Vessel Loan shall be at consecutive intervals of six (6) calendar months thereafter. If the maximum amount of a Vessel Loan (being the maximum specified for that Vessel Loan in Schedule 6) is not advanced to the Borrowers, the amount of each Repayment Instalment and (in each case, where applicable) the balloon payment in respect of the relevant Vessel Loan shall be reduced pro rata to the actual amount advanced for that Vessel Loan or otherwise in accordance with Clause 5.6 (if applicable).

5.2.

The Borrowers may prepay each Vessel Loan in whole or in part (but, if in part, in an amount equal to two hundred and fifty thousand Dollars ($250,000) or an integral multiple of that amount or as otherwise may comply with the provisions of this Agreement or be agreed by the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks)) provided that they shall have first given to the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Singapore time) on at least the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed prepayment written notice expiring on a Business Day of their intention to do so. Any such notice once given shall be irrevocable and shall oblige the Borrowers to make the prepayment referred to in the notice on the Business Day specified in the notice, together with all interest accrued on the amount prepaid up to and including that Business Day and, subject to Clause 5.3, without premium or penalty. Any such notice shall specify the Vessel Loan or Vessel Loans to which the prepayment relates and the manner of application towards each such Vessel Loan (which shall be in inverse order of maturity or on a pro rata basis (at the Borrowers’ option)), failing which the Agent shall be entitled to split the prepaid amount pro rata towards each Vessel Loan with such split amount of a Vessel Loan being applied towards each remaining Repayment Instalment and (in each case, where applicable) any balloon payment of that Vessel Loan on a pro rata basis, or otherwise in such manner as the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) and the Borrowers shall agree.

5.3.

If the Borrowers shall, subject always to Clause 5.2, make a prepayment in respect of a Vessel Loan (including, without limitation, any prepayment required by or made pursuant to Clause 3.6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.7, 6.8, 16.6 or 16.7) on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for that Vessel Loan, they shall, in addition to the amount prepaid, pay to the Agent on behalf of the Banks any Break Costs payable in relation to the prepayment and shall further pay to each Swap Provider, if required by a Swap Provider, any Unwind Costs payable as a result of the prepayment and regardless of whether or not the prepayment in question is made on the last day of an Interest Period for that Vessel Loan.

5.4.

Subject to the application set out in Clause 11.14, any prepayment, interest and Break Costs payment to the Agent shall be applied in satisfaction or reduction, in respect of the relevant Vessel Loan, first of all interest outstanding on the amount prepaid in respect of that Vessel Loan and any Break Costs in respect of that Vessel Loan, next of costs and other moneys due and outstanding to the Banks and/or the Agent in respect of that Vessel Loan, next of the outstanding Repayment Instalments in respect of that Vessel Loan in the manner provided in the relevant Clause or, if no manner is provided in the relevant Clause, in inverse order of maturity commencing with (in each case, where applicable) any balloon payment or (if the Borrowers so select) towards each remaining Repayment Instalment and (in each case, where applicable) any balloon payment on a pro rata basis, or otherwise in such manner as the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) and the Borrowers shall agree.

5.5.

No amount repaid or prepaid pursuant to this Agreement may in any circumstances be re-borrowed.

5.6.

At any time and from time to time, the Borrowers may voluntarily reduce the whole, or any part, of the undrawn amounts under any Vessel Loan provided they have first given to the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Singapore time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed reduction written notice of their intention to do so. Any such notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and the amount of each Repayment Instalment and (in each case, where applicable) any balloon payment in respect of that Vessel Loan shall be reduced, at the Borrowers’ option, either (i) in inverse order of maturity, commencing with (in each case, where applicable) any balloon payment, or (ii) on a pro rata basis, or (iii) otherwise in such manner as the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) and the Borrowers shall agree, and if the whole of the amount of any Vessel Loan is reduced to zero prior to the Advance Date of that Vessel Loan, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Finance Parties will, at the cost of the Borrowers and following the request of the Borrowers, release the relevant Borrower whose Vessel is the subject of that Vessel Loan from all its obligations contained in the Finance Documents in accordance with Clause 5.7.

5.7.

If the Borrowers repay or voluntarily prepay in full a particular Vessel Loan and fully pay all of the associated payments related thereto as set out at Clauses 5.2 and 5.3 or reduce the whole amount of a Vessel Loan to zero before its Advance Date, the Borrowers may request the Finance Parties to release the relevant Borrower from all its obligations under this Agreement and the Security Documents relevant to that Borrower’s Vessel and if the Majority Banks agree to such request, all of the Finance Parties agree, no later than ten (10) days from notification of the Majority Banks’ consent, to (at the cost of the Borrowers) release that Borrower from its obligations under this Agreement and the Security Documents to which that Borrower is a party PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT no Finance Party shall have any obligation to release any of the aforementioned obligations if an Event of Default is then continuing. Each Bank agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent under this Clause 5.7 it being acknowledged that it shall not, inter alia, be unreasonable for a Bank to withhold its consent to any such request at any time when an Event of Default is continuing. The Security Trustee shall not, without the consent of all the Banks, release any of the Security Documents at any time when an Event of Default is continuing other than pursuant to an enforcement process.

SALE AND RELEASE OF VESSELS, TOTAL LOSS AND MANDATORY PREPAYMENT

6.1.

In the event that any of the Vessels shall become a Total Loss at any time during the Facility Period, the Borrowers shall procure that the whole of the insurance proceeds shall be paid to the Agent in prepayment of the relevant Vessel Loan together with all interest accrued and unpaid relative thereto up to and including the date of prepayment and any Break Costs (if applicable) and any Unwind Costs (if applicable), in accordance with Clause 5.3, and any other Indebtedness applicable to that Vessel as notified by the Agent to the Borrowers. If the amount of such insurance proceeds is less than the aggregate of the relevant Vessel Loan together with all interest accrued and unpaid relative thereto up to and including the date of prepayment and any Break Costs (if applicable) and any Unwind Costs (if applicable), any other Indebtedness applicable to that Vessel as notified by the Agent to the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent (on behalf of the Banks) an amount not less than the difference between the amount of such insurance proceeds and the aggregate of such sums (save that any payment in respect of Unwind Costs shall be paid directly to each Swap Provider). Unless an Event of Default shall then have occurred and be continuing (in which event the Agent shall be entitled to retain such insurance proceeds and apply them in accordance with Clause 14.3) the Agent shall, promptly following receipt of such insurance proceeds, release to or to the order of the relevant Borrower the amount by which the amount of such insurance proceeds exceeds the aggregate of the relevant Vessel Loan in respect of which the insurance proceeds were paid, interest accrued and unpaid on such sum up to and including the date of prepayment, any Break Costs, any Unwind Costs and any other Indebtedness as notified by the Agent to the Borrowers, and the Agent shall apply the retained balance in accordance with Clause 5.4 (save that Unwind Costs shall be payable to each Swap Provider). The parties agree that the proceeds of the Insurances (other than in the case of Total Loss) shall be applied in accordance with the loss payable clause(s) endorsed on the Insurances from time to time.

6.2.

So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Borrower may sell or otherwise dispose of its Vessel or agree to do so provided that contemporaneously with the sale or disposal, there is a prepayment made to the Agent on behalf of the Banks of an amount not less than the relevant Vessel Loan together with a payment to the Agent of all interest accrued and unpaid on such sum up to and including the date of prepayment, any Break Costs (if applicable), in accordance with Clause 5.3, any payment to each Swap Provider of any Unwind Costs (if applicable) and any other Indebtedness applicable to that Vessel as notified by the Agent to the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall use all reasonable efforts to give as much notice as may be practicable in connection with the proposed sale of a Vessel.

6.3.

If a Vessel is sold by a Borrower or becomes a Total Loss, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Finance Parties agree that, following a written request by the Borrowers to do so, they shall deliver to or to the order of the relevant Borrower, at the cost and expense of the Borrowers, an executed certificate of satisfaction of the Mortgage (or the equivalent for the applicable Registration Authority) relating to that Borrower’s Vessel and will re-assign, at the cost and expense of the Borrowers, to that Borrower, to the extent then subsisting and capable of re-assignment, the Insurances, Earnings and Requisition Compensation of that Borrower’s Vessel, provided that the Agent on behalf of the Banks shall have first received payment of the relevant Vessel Loan in full together with payment of all interest accrued and unpaid on such sum up to and including the date of prepayment and any Break Costs (if applicable) and any other Indebtedness applicable to that Vessel as notified by the Agent to the Borrowers and each Swap Provider shall have received payment of any Unwind Costs (if applicable).

6.4.

All sale proceeds actually received by the Agent pursuant to Clause 6.2 and prepayments and other sums paid by the Borrowers pursuant to or as referred to at Clause 6.3 shall be applied by the Agent in accordance with Clause 5.4. Unless an Event of Default shall then have occurred and be continuing (in which event the Agent shall be entitled to retain such sale proceeds and apply them in accordance with Clause 14.3), the balance (if any) of any sale proceeds retained by the Agent after application in accordance with Clause 5.4 shall be immediately released to or to the order of the Borrowers.

6.5.

Following the making in full of any prepayment and associated payments pursuant to Clause 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, following a request from the Borrowers, the Finance Parties will release the relevant Borrower from all its obligations contained in the Finance Documents to which it is a party (including, without limitation, releasing the Security Documents entered into by that Borrower).

6.6.

Upon the end of the Facility Period, the Finance Parties will release the Security Parties from all of their obligations contained in the Finance Documents and the Security Trustee will deliver to or to the order of the Borrowers, at the cost and expense of the Borrowers, an executed certificate of satisfaction of any relevant Mortgage (or the equivalent for the applicable Registration Authority) and will, at the cost and expense of the Borrowers, re-assign to the Borrowers, to the extent then subsisting and capable of re-assignment, the Insurances, Earnings and Requisition Compensation of the relevant Vessels.

6.7.

If:

6.7.1.

any sum payable to any Bank by a Security Party is required to be increased under Clause 16.2;

6.7.2.

any Bank claims indemnification from the Borrowers under Clause 18.8 or Clause 16.5,

the Borrowers may, whilst the circumstance giving rise to the requirement for that increase or indemnification continues, give the Agent notice of cancellation of the unadvanced Commitment(s) of that Bank and their intention to procure the repayment of that Bank’s participation in the Loan. On receipt of such a notice in relation to a Bank, the unadvanced Commitment(s) of that Bank shall immediately be reduced to zero; and on the last day of the Interest Period of each Vessel Loan which ends after the Borrowers have given such notice in relation to a Bank (or, if earlier, the date specified by the Borrowers in that notice), the Borrowers shall repay that Bank’s participation in each Vessel Loan together with all interest and other amounts accrued under the Finance Documents and including any amounts payable in accordance with Clause 5.3.

Any prepayment under this Clause 6.7 shall be split between each outstanding Vessel Loan in accordance with the relevant Bank’s participation in each outstanding Vessel Loan with such split amount for a Vessel Loan being applied towards each remaining Repayment Instalment and (in each case, where applicable) any balloon payment of that Vessel Loan on a pro rata basis, or otherwise in such manner as the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) and the Borrowers shall agree.

6.8.

If within ninety (90) days of:

6.8.1.

the Guarantor ceasing to directly or indirectly wholly legally and beneficially own and control any Borrower; or

6.8.2.

GLNG and Quantum Pacific (treated as a whole) ceasing to directly or indirectly own legally and beneficially at least twenty five per cent (25%) of the entire issued share capital and voting rights (or equivalent) of the Guarantor; or

6.8.3.

Quantum Pacific ceasing to directly or indirectly own legally and beneficially at least twenty per cent (20%) of the entire issued share capital and voting rights (or equivalent) of the Guarantor; or

6.8.4.

two or more persons acting in concert (other than a person acting together with Quantum Pacific) or any individual person (other than Quantum Pacific acting individually) acquiring, legally and/or beneficially and either directly or indirectly, in excess of thirty per cent (30%) of the entire issued share capital and voting rights (or equivalent) of the Guarantor or having the right or ability to control, directly or indirectly, the Guarantor,

the Agent (acting on the instructions of all Banks) has not waived or provided a consent in relation to such relevant circumstance, the Borrowers shall be obliged to make a full prepayment of the Loan on the ninety-first (91^st) day after the occurrence of such circumstance.

For the purposes of this Clause:

(a)

control of an entity means:

(i)

ownership of the voting and/or ordinary shares of that entity; or

(ii)

the power to direct the management and policies of that entity (including, but not limited to, the composition of the majority of the board of directors (or equivalent)), whether through the ownership of voting capital, by contract or otherwise,

and controlled shall be construed accordingly; and

(b)

two or more persons are acting in concert if pursuant to an agreement or understanding (whether formal or informal) they actively co-operate, through the acquisition (directly or indirectly) of shares in the relevant entity by any of them, either directly or indirectly, to obtain or consolidate control of that entity.

Any prepayment required to be made by the Borrowers under this Clause 6.8 shall be made together with all accrued but unpaid interest, any Break Costs and any Unwind Costs payable in relation to such prepayment together with any other Indebtedness as notified by the Agent to the Borrowers.

If a full prepayment of the Loan is required under this Clause 6.8, on the due date for such prepayment the unadvanced Commitments of all Banks shall be automatically cancelled.

INTEREST

7.1.

Subject to Clause 7.14, interest shall accrue on each Vessel Loan (or any relevant part thereof) during an Interest Period for that Vessel Loan at the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of:

(a)

the Margin; and

(b)

the Reference Rate for that Interest Period.

Interest Periods for each Vessel Loan (or any relevant part thereof) shall be for a duration of one (1), three (3) or six (6) months as selected by the Borrowers by written notice to the Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (Singapore time) on the third Business Day before the beginning of the Interest Period in question, or such other duration as may be requested by the Borrowers and available to and agreed by the Banks.

7.2.

The first Interest Period in respect of a Vessel Loan shall begin on the Advance Date of that Vessel Loan and the final Interest Period of that Vessel Loan shall, notwithstanding Clause 7.1, end on the Maturity Date of that Vessel Loan.

7.3.

If the Borrowers shall select, or the Borrowers and the Agent shall agree, an Interest Period for a Vessel Loan which is to expire after the next Repayment Date in respect of that Vessel Loan, the part of that Vessel Loan equal to the next Repayment Instalment shall be deemed to be a separate tranche, and there shall in respect of that tranche be an Interest Period of such duration as shall expire on the next Repayment Date in respect of that Vessel Loan.

7.4.

If the Borrowers shall at any time fail to select an Interest Period for a Vessel Loan or to agree an Interest Period for a Vessel Loan with the Agent in accordance with Clause 7.1, the rate applicable for that Vessel Loan after the expiry of the then current Interest Period for that Vessel Loan shall be the rate determined by the Agent in accordance with Clause 7.1 for a period of one (1) month.

7.5.

Interest on a Vessel Loan shall be paid by the Borrowers to the Agent on behalf of the Banks on the last day of each Interest Period and additionally, during any Interest Period exceeding six (6) months, on the last day of each successive six (6) month period after the beginning of that Interest Period.

7.6.

Each Interest Period for a Vessel Loan shall, subject to Clauses 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4, end on the date which numerically corresponds to the date on which the immediately preceding Interest Period for that Vessel Loan ended (or, in the case of the first Interest Period for a Vessel Loan, to the Advance Date relating to that Vessel Loan) in the calendar month which is the number of months selected or agreed after the calendar month in which the immediately preceding Interest Period for that Vessel Loan ended (or, in the case of the first Interest Period for a Vessel Loan, in which the Advance Date relating to that Vessel Loan occurred), except that:

7.6.1.

if there is no such numerically corresponding date in the calendar month in which the Interest Period ends, the Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day in that calendar month; and

7.6.2.

if any Interest Period would end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day (unless the next succeeding day falls in the next calendar month, in which event the Interest Period in question shall end on the preceding Business Day).

7.7.

In the event of any default by the Borrowers in the due payment of any sum payable by the Borrowers under or pursuant to the Finance Documents (excluding any Master Agreement) (and ignoring, for the purposes of this Clause, the additional periods of three (3) Business Days and ten (10) Business Days referred to in Clause 13.2.1), the amount unpaid (the “Unpaid Sum”) shall, from the date of the default, bear interest up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at the Default Rate, compounded at such intervals as the Agent shall in its discretion determine, which interest shall be payable from time to time by the Borrowers to the Agent on behalf of the Banks on demand.

7.8.

Any interest, commission or fee accruing under a Finance Document will accrue from day to day and the amount of any such interest, commission or fee is calculated:

7.8.1.

on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days (or, in any case where the practice in the Relevant Market differs, in accordance with that market practice); and

7.8.2.

subject to Clause 7.9 below, without rounding.

7.9.

The aggregate amount of any accrued interest, commission or fee which is, or becomes, payable by a Security Party under a Finance Document shall be rounded to 2 decimal places.

7.10.

Each determination of an interest rate made by the Agent in accordance with this Clause 7 shall (save in the case of manifest error or on any question of law) be final and conclusive. The Agent shall promptly notify the Banks and the Borrowers of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

7.11.

If no Term SOFR is available for the Interest Period of a Vessel Loan, the applicable Reference Rate shall be the Interpolated Term SOFR for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Vessel Loan.

7.12.

If no Term SOFR is available for the Interest Period of a Vessel Loan and it is not possible to calculate the Interpolated Term SOFR, the applicable Reference Rate shall be the Historic Term SOFR for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Vessel Loan.

7.13.

If Clause 7.12 above applies but no Historic Term SOFR is available for the Interest Period of a Vessel Loan, the applicable Reference Rate shall be the Interpolated Historic Term SOFR for a period equal in length to the Interest Period of that Vessel Loan.

7.14.

If Clause 7.13 above applies but no Interpolated Historic Term SOFR is available for an Interest Period of a Vessel Loan, the rate of interest on that Vessel Loan (or any relevant part thereof) for any day during that Interest Period will be the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate (a) the Margin and (b) Daily Simple SOFR for that day, provided that if Daily Simple SOFR for any day is less than zero, Daily Simple SOFR for that day will be deemed zero.

7.15.

Any Bank (or its Affiliate) may become a party to this Agreement as a Swap Provider by it (or its Affiliate) and each other party to this Agreement executing a Deed of Accession and the relevant Bank (or its Affiliate) shall, upon the “Effective Date” of such Deed of Accession become a party to this Agreement as a Swap Provider. None of the Finance Parties (other than the Swap Providers) may enter into any interest rate hedging and/or swap transactions with a Borrower. The Swap Providers may only enter into interest rate hedging and/or swap transactions with the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the “Effective Date” of a Deed of Accession, the Acceding Swap Provider thereunder shall be bound by all of the obligations of a Swap Provider under this Agreement as if it were an Original Swap Provider and shall have all rights, benefits and entitlements of a Swap Provider as if it were an Original Swap Provider.

7.16.

Any Swap Provider may, at the Borrowers’ request, enter into one or more interest rate hedging and/or swap transactions under the Master Agreements restricted to the Borrowers’ floating rate interest exposure under this Agreement, provided that no Swap Provider shall be obliged by virtue of this Agreement to enter into any such arrangements and this Agreement shall not be construed as an offer by any Swap Provider to the Borrowers to enter into any such hedging and/or swap transaction. Each Swap Provider shall, following the Borrowers’ request to enter into an interest rate hedge or swap, have a first right of refusal and a last right to match the best pricing available to the Borrowers, to undertake, in its Proportionate Share, any hedging and/or swap transactions relating to the Borrowers’ floating rate interest exposure under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Swap Provider declines to provide such hedging facilities or fails to match the best pricing available to the Borrowers, the other Swap Providers willing to provide such hedging facilities at the best pricing available to the Borrowers shall be entitled (but not obliged) to provide the non-participating Swap Provider’s Proportionate Share of the hedging facilities on an equal basis (or on such other basis as those Swap Providers shall agree). Hedging facilities entered into between each Swap Provider and the Borrowers in accordance with this Clause 7.16 shall be secured by the property assets and rights the subject of the Security Documents and on a pari passu basis as set out in Clauses 11.14 and 14.3.

The Swap Providers shall not, without the unanimous approval of all of the Banks, enter into any currency exchange transaction with the Borrowers or any one of them under a Master Agreement or any interest hedging and/or other swap transaction with the Borrowers or any one of them which does not comply with the terms of this Clause 7.16 and which does not solely relate to hedging the Borrowers’ floating rate interest obligations under this Agreement for a period expiring no later than the latest Maturity Date and on a basis consistent with the scheduled amortisation of the Loan. Further, the Swap Providers agree with the Banks that any interest rate hedging transactions entered into between any Swap Provider and a Borrower shall be done on a per Vessel Loan basis and that the terms of any Master Agreement between the Swap Providers and a Borrower shall be such that in the case of any prepayment of a Vessel Loan, that Swap Provider shall have the discretion to wholly or partially terminate any continuing interest rate hedging transactions related to that Vessel Loan so that the aggregate notional amount of interest rate hedging transactions entered into by a Borrower relevant to that Vessel Loan thereafter does not and will not in the future (taking into account the scheduled amortisation of that Vessel Loan) exceed the outstanding amount of that Vessel Loan from time to time.

If, despite this Clause, the Swap Providers decline to provide hedging facilities covering all of the Borrowers’ floating rate interest exposure under this Agreement, the Borrowers or any one of them may enter into hedging facilities with one or more other banks or financial institutions acceptable to the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) solely to hedge that part of the Borrowers’ floating rate interest exposure not hedged by facilities provided by the Swap Providers and any such hedging facilities shall not be secured by the property, assets and rights the subject of the Security Documents and the rights of the relevant hedging providers under such hedging facilities shall be subordinated to the rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents on terms acceptable to the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks).

7.17.

Each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally, jointly and severally:

7.17.1.

guarantees to each Swap Provider punctual performance by each other Borrower of all that Borrower’s obligations under its Master Agreement;

7.17.2.

undertakes with each Swap Provider that whenever another Borrower does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with its Master Agreement, that it shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

7.17.3.

indemnifies each Swap Provider immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability suffered by the relevant Swap Provider if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal. The amount of the cost, loss or liability shall be equal to the amount which that Swap Provider would otherwise have been entitled to recover.

7.18.

The guarantee set out at Clause 7.17 (the “Swap Guarantee”) is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Borrower under its Master Agreements, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

7.19.

If any payment by a Borrower or any discharge given by a Swap Provider (whether in respect of the obligations of any Borrower or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is avoided or reduced as a result of insolvency or any similar event:

7.19.1.

the liability of each Borrower under the Swap Guarantee shall continue as if the payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred; and

7.19.2.

the relevant Swap Provider shall be entitled to recover the value or amount of that security or payment from each relevant Borrower, as if payment, discharge, avoidance or reduction had not occurred.

7.20.

The obligations of each Borrower under the Swap Guarantee will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 7.20 would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under the Swap Guarantee (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Swap Providers) including:

7.20.1.

any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Borrower or other person;

7.20.2.

the release of any other Borrower or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor;

7.20.3.

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

7.20.4.

any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of a Borrower or any other person;

7.20.5.

any amendment, novation, supplement, extension (whether of maturity or otherwise) or restatement (in each case, however fundamental and of whatsoever nature) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security;

7.20.6.

any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Finance Document or any document or security; or

7.20.7.

any insolvency or similar proceedings.

7.21.

Each Borrower waives any right it may have of first requiring any Swap Provider (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Borrower under the Swap Guarantee. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

7.22.

The Swap Guarantee is in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guarantee or security now or subsequently held by or on behalf of the Swap Providers.

11.4.

(b)

its status as a Bank shall be disregarded for the purpose of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified group of Banks has been obtained to approve that request.

11.5.

Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Bank or any Swap Provider for anything done or omitted to be done by the Agent under or in connection with the Finance Documents unless as a result of the Agent’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

11.6.

Each of the Banks and the Swap Providers acknowledges that (i) it has not relied on any representation made by the Agent or any of the Agent’s directors, officers, employees or agents or by any other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Agent to induce it to enter into any of the Finance Documents, and that (ii) it has made and will continue to make without reliance on the Agent, and based on such documents and other evidence as it considers appropriate, its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each of the Security Parties in connection with the making and continuation of the Loan, and that (iii) it has made its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each of the Security Parties. The Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility at any time to provide any of the Banks or any other Finance Party with any credit or other information relating to any of the Security Parties unless that information is received by the Agent pursuant to the terms of the Finance Documents. Each of the Banks and each other Finance Party agrees that it will not assert nor seek to assert against any director, officer, employee or agent of the Agent or against any other person acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Agent any claim which it might have against them in respect of any of the matters referred to in this Clause.

11.7.

The Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to any of the Security Parties or to the Banks or the Swap Providers on account of (i) the failure of any Bank or any Swap Provider or any of the Security Parties to perform any of their respective obligations under the Finance Documents, or (ii) for the financial condition of any of the Security Parties, the Banks, or the Swap Providers, or (iii) for the completeness or accuracy of any statements, representations or warranties made in or pursuant to any of the Finance Documents, or in or pursuant to any document delivered pursuant to or in connection with any of the Finance Documents, or (iv) for the negotiation, execution, effectiveness, legality, genuineness, validity, enforceability, admissibility in evidence or sufficiency of any of the Finance Documents or of any document executed or delivered pursuant to or in connection with any of the Finance Documents.

11.8.

The Agent may:-

11.8.1.

assume that all representations or warranties made by any of the Security Parties in or pursuant to any of the Finance Documents are true and complete unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary; and

11.8.2.

assume that no Event of Default has occurred unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary; and

11.8.3.

rely on any document or communication reasonably believed by the Agent to be genuine; and

11.8.4.

rely as to legal or other professional matters on opinions and statements of any legal or other professional advisers selected or approved by it; and

11.8.5.

rely as to any factual matters which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of any of the Security Parties on a certificate signed by or on behalf of that Security Party; and

11.8.6.

refrain from exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy unless and until instructed to exercise that right, power, discretion or remedy and as to the manner of its exercise by the Majority Banks or (as applicable) all of the Banks and unless and until the Agent has received from the Banks any payment which the Agent may require on account of, or any security which the Agent may require for, any costs, claims, expenses (including legal and other professional fees) and liabilities which it considers it may incur or sustain in complying with such instructions.

11.9.

The Agent shall:-

11.9.1.

if requested in writing by any Bank to do so, make enquiry and advise the Banks as to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of the Finance Documents by the Security Parties or as to the existence of an Event of Default;

11.9.2.

provide to each of the Banks as soon as reasonably practicable copies of all financial and other information received by the Agent from any of the Security Parties pursuant to Clause 12.6 of this Agreement or clause 9 of the Guarantee; and

11.9.3.

inform the Banks as soon as reasonably practicable of any Event of Default of which the Agent has actual knowledge.

11.10.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of the falsehood or incompleteness of any representation or warranty made or deemed repeated by any of the Security Parties or actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default unless any of the Banks or any of the Security Parties shall have given written notice thereof to the Agent or the Agent has gained actual knowledge thereof.

11.11.

The Agent may, without any liability to account to any of the Banks or the Swap Providers, generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with any of the Security Parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or associated companies or any Bank or the Swap Providers as if it were not the Agent.

11.12.

The Banks shall promptly on the Agent’s request reimburse the Agent rateably in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares for all amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Agent pursuant to Clauses 12.5, 18.6, 18.7, 18.8 or 18.11 to the extent that those amounts are not paid by the Borrowers. The Banks, to the extent the Agent is not indemnified by, and able to recover from, the Borrowers, agree to indemnify the Agent rateably in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares on demand against all liabilities, damages, costs and claims incurred by the Agent in connection with the Finance Documents or the performance of its duties and obligations or exercise of its rights, powers, discretions or remedies under or pursuant to any of the Finance Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or pursuant to any of the Finance Documents, unless those liabilities, damages, costs or claims arise solely from the Agent’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

11.13.

In performing its duties and exercising its rights, powers, discretions and remedies under or pursuant to the Finance Documents, the Agent shall be entitled:

(a)

(at its own expense, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case, at the expense of the Borrowers subject to the provisions of this Clause) to employ and pay agents to do anything which the Agent is empowered to do under or pursuant to the Finance Documents (but which it cannot reasonably perform itself without employing or paying such agents) (including the receipt of money and documents and the payment of money); and

(b)

to instruct (at the expense of the Borrowers) any lawyer, banker, broker, accountant, valuer or any other person believed by the Agent in good faith to be competent to give any required opinion, advice or information (and to act or refrain from taking action in reliance of any such opinion, advice or information).

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Clause, the Borrowers will not at any time have any liability for expenses incurred by the Agent of the nature described in this Clause if they relate to general agency functions typically performed by an agent bank in respect to a syndicated loan transaction in return for an agency fee.

11.14.

The Agent shall pay promptly to the order of each Finance Party every sum of money received by the Agent pursuant to the Finance Documents for that Finance Party (including, without limitation, any sum of money received by the Agent for the Swap Providers pursuant to Clause 6.1) and until so paid such amount (together with all interest accrued thereon) shall be held by the Agent on trust absolutely for that Finance Party. If the Agent receives a payment that is insufficient to discharge all the amounts then due and payable by a Security Party under the Finance Documents, the Agent shall apply that payment towards the obligations of that Security Party under the Finance Documents in the following order:

(a)

firstly, in or towards payment pro rata of any unpaid fees, costs, expenses and default interest of the Agent under the Finance Documents;

(b)

secondly, in or towards payment pro rata of any accrued fees, commissions, costs, expenses (including any sums paid by the Banks under Clause 11.12) due but unpaid under this Agreement;

(c)

thirdly, in or towards payment pro rata of (i) any accrued interest (including default interest) due to the Banks but unpaid under this Agreement, and (ii) any amounts due and unpaid to a Swap Provider under any Master Agreement (other than swap termination sums/close-out payments);

(d)

fourthly, in or towards payment pro rata of (i) any part of the Loan due but unpaid under this Agreement, and (ii) any swap termination sums/close-out payments due and unpaid to a Swap Provider under any Master Agreement; and

(e)

fifthly, in or towards payment pro rata of any other sum due but unpaid under the Finance Documents (including any Master Agreement).

This Clause will override any appropriation made by a Security Party or otherwise set out in this Agreement.

The Banks and the Swap Providers acting unanimously may, in their discretion, change the order of application set out in this Clause 11.14.

11.15.

The Agent shall have no liability to pay any sum to any Bank or any Swap Provider until it has itself received payment of that sum. If, however, the Agent does pay any sum to a Bank or a Swap Provider on account of any amount prospectively due to that Bank pursuant to Clause 11.14 before it has itself received payment of that amount, and the Agent does not in fact receive payment within three (3) Business Days after the date on which that payment was required to be made by the terms of the Finance Documents, each Bank or each Swap Provider receiving any such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, refund to the Agent an amount equal to the amount received by it, together with an amount sufficient to reimburse the Agent for any amount which the Agent may certify that it has been required to pay by way of interest on money borrowed to fund the amount in question during the period beginning on the date on which that amount was required to be paid by the terms of the Finance Documents and ending on the date on which the Agent receives reimbursement.

11.16.

If at any time any Bank receives or recovers by way of set-off, the exercise of any lien or otherwise (other than in accordance with Clause 11.14, Clause 14.3 or from any assignee or transferee of or sub-participant in that Bank’s Commitment), an amount from any Security Party in respect of any sum due from any of the Security Parties under the Finance Documents which is greater than that which it would have received if the amount had been recovered by the Agent and applied in the manner applicable at the time of recovery by the relevant Bank under the terms of Clause 11.14 or Clause 14.3 (the amount of the excess being referred to in this Clause 11.16 as the “Excess Amount”) then:-

11.16.1.

that Bank shall promptly notify the Agent which shall notify the other Banks;

11.16.2.

that Bank shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to the Excess Amount within ten (10) days of its receipt or recovery of the Excess Amount; and

11.16.3.

the Agent shall treat that payment as if it were a payment by the Borrowers on account of the sum owed to the Banks as aforesaid and shall account to the Banks in respect of the Excess Amount in accordance with the provisions of Clause 11.14 or Clause 14.3 (as the case may be).

11.17.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Clause, if a Bank has commenced an action or proceeding in any court to recover sums owing to it under the Finance Documents and, as a result thereof, or in connection therewith, has received an Excess Amount, the Agent shall not distribute any of that Excess Amount to any other Bank which had been notified of such action or proceeding and had the legal right to, but did not, join such action or proceeding or commence and diligently prosecute a separate action or proceeding to enforce its rights in the same or another court.

Further, this Clause 11.16 shall not apply to a Bank that received an Excess Amount to the extent that that Bank would not, after making any payment pursuant to Clause 11.16, have a valid and enforceable claim against the relevant Security Party.

11.18.

If all or any part of any Excess Amount is rescinded or must otherwise be restored to any of the Security Parties or to any other third party, any Bank which has received any part of that Excess Amount by way of distribution from the Agent pursuant to this Clause shall repay to the Agent for the account of the Bank which originally received or recovered the Excess Amount, their respective share of the Excess Amount (or the relevant part thereof) (as determined by the Agent) and in a manner that results in the Banks sharing rateably in the amount of the receipt or payment retained in a manner consistent with Clause 11.14 or Clause 14.3 (as the case may be), together with interest thereon at a rate equivalent to that (if any) paid by the Bank receiving or recovering the Excess Amount to the person to whom that Bank is liable to make payment in respect of such amount and the provisions of Clause 11.16.3 shall apply only to the retained amount.

11.19.

Each of the Banks and the Agent shall notify one another of the proposed institution of any legal proceedings under any of the Finance Documents prior to their commencement. No Swap Provider may without the prior written consent of the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) or as part of a general enforcement by the Finance Parties of their rights following an Event of Default institute any legal proceedings under any of the Finance Documents.

11.20.

If an Event of Default shall occur entitling the Banks and/or the Swap Providers (or the Agent on their behalf) to exercise any of their rights, powers, discretions and/or remedies under or pursuant to the Finance Documents, the Agent shall, subject to Clause 11.2, act, or refrain from acting, in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Banks.

11.21.

Where the Agent is authorised or directed to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Banks or the Majority Banks each of the Banks shall provide the Agent with instructions within three (3) Business Days of the Agent’s request (which request may be made orally or in writing and which will set out the action the Agent intends to take if the Agent does not receive instructions from the Banks). If any Bank does not provide the Agent with instructions within that period, that Bank shall be bound by the decision of the Agent. If no Bank gives instructions to the Agent, the Agent may take such action as it considers appropriate, and shall notify each Bank of the action it has taken and the Banks shall be bound by the decision of the Agent.

11.22.

Any notice, approval, demand, request, document or communication under this Clause may be given, delivered, made or served, in the case of the Agent (in its capacity as Agent or one of the Banks or the Swap Providers), and in the case of the other Banks or the Swap Providers, by letter, email, secure website administered by the Agent or fax at the address, email address or fax number indicated in Schedule 2.

11.23.

All moneys payable to any Bank or the Swap Providers under this Clause 11 shall be paid to such account at such bank as that Bank or the Swap Providers may from time to time in writing direct to the Agent.

11.24.

Subject to a successor being appointed in accordance with this Clause 11, the Agent may resign as agent and/or security trustee at any time without assigning any reason by giving to the Borrowers and the other Finance Parties notice of its intention to do so. In that event, the Majority Banks may within thirty (30) days after the date of such notice appoint a successor acceptable to the Borrowers to act as agent and/or security trustee or, if they fail to do so, the Agent may appoint any other bank or financial institution which is established for the purpose of or regularly engaged in, this type of business acceptable to the Borrowers as its successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during which an Event of Default is continuing, any appointment of a successor agent and/or security trustee by the Majority Banks or the Agent shall not be required to be acceptable to the Borrowers.

Alternatively, the Agent may resign and appoint one of its Bank Affiliates or one of the Banks (as at the date of this Agreement) as successor agent and/or security trustee by giving to the Borrowers and the other Finance Parties notice. In such circumstances, such Bank Affiliate or Bank shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Borrowers.

The Borrowers shall not be liable for any costs and expenses incurred by any of the Finance Parties in connection with any resignation and appointment contemplated by this Clause.

11.25.

The resignation of the Agent as agent and/or security trustee pursuant to Clause 11.24 shall take effect simultaneously with the appointment of its successor on written notice of that appointment being given to the Borrowers and the Finance Parties. The Agent shall thereupon be discharged from all further obligations as agent and/or security trustee but shall remain entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this Clause, and its successor and each of the other parties to this Agreement shall have the same rights and obligations amongst themselves as they would have had if that successor had been an original party to this Agreement. Subject to any proposed successor (that is not a Finance Party or a Bank Affiliate) first entering into a Confidentiality Agreement, the Borrowers irrevocably authorise the Agent to disclose to any proposed successor as agent and/or security trustee (whether before or after the Agent’s resignation and whether or not such successor is actually appointed) all Confidential Information which the Agent in its discretion considers necessary or desirable.

11.26.

Except as provided in Clauses 11.14, 11.28 and 11.29 the Agent shall not have any fiduciary relationship with or be deemed to be a trustee of or for any of the Banks or any of the Swap Providers or the other Finance Parties and nothing contained in any of the Finance Documents shall constitute a partnership between all or any of the Banks and any of the Swap Providers or between the Agent and any of the Banks or any of the Swap Providers.

11.27.

The expression “the Banks” when used in the Finance Documents shall include the Agent in its capacity as one of the Banks. The Agent shall be entitled to exercise its rights, powers, discretions and remedies under or pursuant to the Finance Documents in its capacity as one of the Banks in the same manner as the other Banks and as if it were not also the Agent.

11.28.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the expression “the Agent” when used in the Finance Documents means the Agent and the Security Trustee collectively. Each of the other Finance Parties hereby appoints the Security Trustee as its security trustee to act in such capacity on its behalf under the Finance Documents.

11.29.

The Security Trustee agrees and declares, and each of the other Finance Parties acknowledges, that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Clause, the Security Trustee holds the Trust Property on trust for the Finance Parties absolutely. Each of the other Finance Parties agrees that the obligations, rights and benefits vested in the Security Trustee in its capacity as security trustee shall be performed and exercised in accordance with this Clause. The Security Trustee in its capacity as security trustee shall have the benefit of all the provisions of this Agreement benefiting the Agent as agent for the Banks and the Swap Providers, and all the powers and discretions conferred on trustees by the Trustee Act 1925, the Trustee Delegation Act 1999, the Trustee Act 2000 or by general law or otherwise (to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement) provided that Part I of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the duties of the Security Trustee in relation to the trusts constituted by the Finance Documents. In addition:-

11.29.1.

the Security Trustee (and any attorney, agent or delegate of the Security Trustee) may indemnify itself or himself out of the Trust Property against all liabilities, costs, fees, damages, charges, losses and expenses sustained or incurred by it or him in relation to the taking or holding of any of the Trust Property or in connection with the exercise or purported exercise of the rights, trusts, powers and discretions vested in the Security Trustee or any other such person by or pursuant to the Finance Documents or in respect of anything else done or omitted to be done in any way relating to the Finance Documents; and

11.29.2.

each of the other Finance Parties acknowledge that the Security Trustee shall be under no obligation to insure any property nor to require any other person to insure any property and shall not be responsible for any loss which may be suffered by any person as a result of the lack or insufficiency of any insurance; and

11.29.3.

Any such valuation shall be addressed to the Agent and may be made without physical inspection on the basis of a sale of that Vessel for prompt delivery for cash at arm’s length on normal commercial terms as between a willing seller and a willing buyer and free of any existing charter or other contract of employment. Notwithstanding the above, the aforesaid valuations shall take into account the charter or other contract of employment if such Vessel is (i) a Very Large Ore Carrier; (ii) a containership of 10,000 or more TEU; or (iii) is of a type for which there is no active sale and purchase market.

The Borrowers will permit the Agent and its agents to review the Borrowers’ operating and insurance records from time to time during the Facility Period on reasonable notice and during normal business hours in the place in which the records are to be reviewed, and shall reimburse the Agent from time to time on demand in respect of all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in doing so, provided only that the Borrowers shall not be liable for the costs and expenses incurred in relation to more than one (1) such review in each consecutive period of twelve (12) months following the date of this Agreement unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event the Borrowers shall be liable for all such costs and expenses from time to time incurred by the Agent.

12.8.

The Borrowers shall have complete discretion to enter into charterparties covering the Vessels for periods that they may select. If requested to do so by the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each relevant Borrower will promptly execute and deliver in favour of the Banks (or the Security Trustee on their behalf) a specific assignment of the benefit of any such charterparty in respect of its Vessel in such form as the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) may reasonably require, and will give notice of each such assignment to, and procure the acknowledgement of each such notice by, the charterer.

12.9.

14.2.

Notwithstanding any term to the contrary in relation to any deposit or credit balance on any account of any of the Borrowers with any of the Finance Parties, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default no such deposit or credit balance shall be repayable to the Borrowers until all of the Indebtedness shall have been repaid in full. Any Finance Party may nevertheless permit full or partial repayment of any such deposit or credit balance without affecting the application of this Clause to any remaining deposit or credit balance.

14.3.

Subject to Clause 6, each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorises the Agent to apply all sums which the Agent may receive in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any rights of the Security Trustee under the Security Documents) in or towards satisfaction of all or any part of the Indebtedness in the order set out at (a) to (e) of Clause 11.14.

15.

SYNDICATION AND SUB-PARTICIPATION

15.1.

Each of the Banks may transfer all or any of its rights and obligations under or pursuant to the Finance Documents or assign all or any of its rights under or pursuant to the Finance Documents to any of its Bank Affiliates, another Bank or a Bank Affiliate of that Bank without requiring the Borrowers’ consent and, subject to Clause 15.2, may, at any time during the Facility Period, transfer all or any of its rights and obligations under or pursuant to the Finance Documents or grant sub-participations or assign all or any of its rights under or pursuant to the Finance Documents to not more than one (1) additional bank approved by the Borrowers or Guarantor, provided any transfer, assignment or sub-participation to another Bank, a Bank Affiliate or an additional bank as aforesaid (i) does not result in any cost to the Borrowers and (ii) relates to an amount of the Loan not less than fifteen million Dollars ($15,000,000). The Borrowers will co-operate fully with the Banks in connection with any transfer, assignment or sub-participation permitted by this Clause 15; will (at the expense of the Banks) execute and procure the execution of such documents as the Banks may require in connection therewith; and, subject to any proposed transferee, assignee or sub-participant (who is not a Bank Affiliate, another Bank or a Bank Affiliate of that other Bank) first entering into a Confidentiality Agreement, irrevocably authorise the Banks to disclose to any proposed transferee, assignee or sub-participant (whether before or after such transfer, assignment or sub-participation and whether or not such transfer, assignment or sub-participation shall take place) all Confidential Information which the Banks may in their discretion consider necessary or desirable.

15.2.

Subject to Clause 15.7, any transfer, assignment or sub-participation (not to a Bank Affiliate of the relevant Bank, another Bank or a Bank Affiliate of that other Bank) under Clause 15.1 may only be to a bank which has the prior written consent of the Borrowers, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Further, if the transfer or assignment by a Bank relates to all its rights and obligations or (as the case may be) all its rights under or pursuant to the Finance Documents and at such time that Bank’s related/affiliated Swap Provider has continuing Transactions, as a condition to such Bank making such assignment or transfer it shall procure, at no additional cost to the Borrowers (including, without limitation, documentation costs and Tax and gross up liability) that (i) its related/affiliated Swap Provider novates to the assignee or transferee (or its Affiliate) its position under the Master Agreements to which it is a party and (ii) such transferee swap provider accedes to the terms of this Agreement (by way of executing a Deed of Accession), and the Borrowers and (in the case of an accession to this Agreement only) the Finance Parties agree to cooperate with the transferor Bank in connection with such novation and accession. Subject to the proposed transferee swap provider first entering into a Confidentiality Agreement, the Borrowers irrevocably authorise the relevant Swap Provider to disclose to any proposed transferee swap provider (whether before or after the relevant novation and whether or not such novation shall take place) all Confidential Information which the relevant Swap Provider in its discretion considers necessary or desirable.

15.3.

Any assignee, transferee or sub-participant of any Bank shall (unless limited by the express terms of the assignment, transfer or participation) take the full benefit of every provision of the Finance Documents benefiting that Bank, PROVIDED THAT an assignment or sub-participation will only be effective on performance by the Agent of all necessary “Know your Customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws, regulations and internal policies in relation to such assignment or sub-participation to the assignee or sub-participant, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Banks and the assignee or sub-participant (as the case may be). The Agent accepts no liability to any person for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever for any delay or failure of an assignment or sub-participation becoming effective as a result of such checks.

15.4.

If any Bank wishes to transfer all or any of its Commitment as contemplated in Clause 15.1 or Clause 15.7 then such transfer may be effected by the delivery to the Agent of a duly completed and duly executed Transfer Certificate in which event, on the later of the Transfer Date specified in such Transfer Certificate and the fifth Business Day after (or such earlier Business Day endorsed by the Agent on such Transfer Certificate falling on or after) the date of delivery of such Transfer Certificate to the Agent:

15.4.1.

to the extent that in such Transfer Certificate the Bank thereto seeks to transfer its Commitment, each Security Party and such Bank shall be released from further obligations towards one another hereunder in relation to the Commitment actually being transferred by the Transfer Certificate and their respective rights against one another in relation thereto shall be cancelled (such rights, benefits and obligations being referred to in this Clause 15.4 as “discharged rights and obligations”);

15.4.2.

each Security Party and the Transferee party thereto shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another which differ from such discharged rights and obligations only insofar as such Security Party and such Transferee have assumed and/or acquired the same in place of the relevant Security Party and such Bank; and

15.4.3.

the Agent, the Security Trustee, the Swap Providers, such Transferee and the other Banks shall acquire the same rights and assume the same obligations between themselves as they would have acquired and assumed had such Transferee been an original party hereto as a Bank with the rights, benefits and/or obligations acquired or assumed by it as a result of such transfer.

15.5.

In order to give effect to such Transfer Certificate, the Finance Parties and the Security Parties each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorise the Agent to execute on their respective behalves each Transfer Certificate delivered to the Agent pursuant to Clause 15.4 without the Agent being under any obligation to take any further instructions from or give any prior notice to them before doing so and the Agent shall execute each such Transfer Certificate on behalf of the Finance Parties and the Security Parties forthwith upon its receipt thereof pursuant to Clause 15.4, PROVIDED THAT the Agent shall only be obliged to execute a Transfer Certificate once it is satisfied it has complied with all necessary “Know your Customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws, regulations and internal policies in relation to the transfer to the Transferee, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Banks and the Transferee. The Agent accepts no liability to any person for any damages, costs or losses whatsoever for any delay or failure to execute a Transfer Certificate resulting from such checks.

15.6.

The Agent shall promptly notify the Finance Parties, the Transferee and the Security Parties upon the execution by it of any Transfer Certificate together with details of the amount transferred, the Transfer Date and the parties to such transfer.

15.7.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Clause 15, at any time during which an Event of Default is continuing, a Bank shall be entitled to assign any of its rights under the Finance Documents, transfer any of its rights and obligations under the Finance Documents or sub-participate any of its Commitment to any other bank or financial institution without requiring the Borrowers’ prior written consent and without the obligation to arrange a novation of the relevant Master Agreements (if relevant) and the Borrowers irrevocably authorise the Banks to disclose to any proposed transferee, assignee or sub-participant (whether before or after such transfer, assignment or sub-participation and whether or not such transfer, assignment or sub-participation shall take place) all Confidential Information which the Banks in their discretion consider necessary or desirable provided always that the proposed transferee, assignee or sub-participant first enters into a Confidentiality Agreement exactly in the form of Appendix B. Notwithstanding Clause Error! Reference source not found. and the preceding provisions of this Clause 15.7, if at any time when an Event of Default is continuing, a proposed transferee, assignee or sub-participant of a Bank has signed a Confidentiality Agreement substantially in the form of and on terms materially the same as Appendix B and the Borrowers and the Guarantor have not counter-signed that Confidentiality Agreement within five (5) Business Days of receipt by the Borrowers of that Confidentiality Agreement, the Bank in question shall thereafter be authorised to disclose Confidential Information to that proposed transferee, assignee or sub-participant.

15.8.

Unless the Agent otherwise agrees, any assignee of a Bank or any Transferee shall, on the date upon any assignment or any transfer under this Clause 15 takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of three thousand five hundred Dollars ($3,500).

16.

PAYMENTS, MANDATORY PREPAYMENT, RESERVE REQUIREMENTS AND ILLEGALITY

16.1.

All moneys payable by the Borrowers under or pursuant to any of the Finance Documents (excluding any Master Agreement) shall be paid to such accounts at such banks as the Agent may from time to time direct to the Borrowers and (unless payable in any other Currency of Account) shall be paid in Dollars in same day funds (or such funds as are required by the authorities in the United States of America for settlement of international payments for immediate value). Payments shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the date on which the Agent receives authenticated advice of receipt, unless that advice is received by the Agent on a day other than a Business Day or at a time of day (whether on a Business Day or not) when the Agent in its discretion considers that it is impossible or impracticable for the Agent to utilise the moneys received for value that same day, in which event those moneys shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next Business Day following the date of receipt of advice by the Agent.

16.2.

All payments (whether of principal or interest or otherwise) to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to the Finance Documents (excluding any Master Agreement) shall, subject only to Clause 16.3, be made without any Tax Deduction, and payments to be made by a Security Party under the Finance Documents shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim and the Borrowers will not claim any equity in respect of any payment due from them to the Finance Parties under or in relation to any of the Finance Documents (excluding any Master Agreement). If at any time any law requires (or is interpreted to require) any of the Borrowers to make a Tax Deduction from any payment, that Borrower will simultaneously with making that payment pay to the Agent whatever additional amount (after taking into account any additional Taxes on, or Tax Deduction from, or restrictions or conditions on, that additional amount) is necessary to ensure that, after making the Tax Deduction, the Banks receive a net sum equal to the sum which they would have received had no Tax Deduction been made.

16.3.

If at any time any of the Borrowers is required by law to make a Tax Deduction, that Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent and will pay the full amount required in connection with that Tax Deduction to the relevant authority within the time allowed for such payment under the applicable law and will, no later than the earlier of thirty (30) days after making that payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction and the date of receipt, deliver to the Agent an original receipt issued by the relevant authority evidencing the payment to that authority of all amounts required in connection with that Tax Deduction. If a Borrower pays any additional amount under this Clause and a Finance Party subsequently receives a refund or allowance from any tax authority which that Finance Party identifies as being referable to that increased amount so paid by that Borrower, that Finance Party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, pay to that Borrower an amount equal to the amount of the refund or allowance received, if and to the extent that it may do so without prejudicing its right to retain that refund or allowance and without putting itself in any worse financial position than that in which it would have been had the relevant Tax Deduction not been required to have been made. Nothing in this Clause shall be interpreted as imposing any obligation on any Finance Party to apply for any refund or allowance nor as restricting in any way the manner in which any Finance Party organises its tax affairs, nor as imposing on any Finance Party any obligation to disclose to a Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.

16.4.

If any payment to be made under any of the Finance Documents (excluding any Master Agreement) shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day that payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (unless the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next calendar month in which event the payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day). Any such variation of time shall be included in computing any interest in respect of that payment.

16.5.

If, by reason of (a) the introduction of any law or regulation, or any change in any law or regulation, or the interpretation, application or administration of any law or regulation, or (b) compliance with any law, regulation, request or requirement from any central bank or any fiscal, monetary or other authority; or (c) the implementation or application of or compliance with Basel III, CRDIV or CRR, or any law, or regulation that implements or applies Basel III, CRDIV or CRR:-

16.5.1.

any Finance Party shall be subject to any Tax with respect to payments of all or any part of the Indebtedness; or

16.5.2.

the basis of Taxation of payments to any Finance Party in respect of all or any part of the Indebtedness shall be changed; or

16.5.3.

any reserve requirements shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable against assets held by or deposits in or for the account of or loans by any branch of any Bank; or

16.5.4.

the manner in which any Bank allocates capital resources to its obligations under this Agreement or any ratio (whether cash, capital adequacy, liquidity or otherwise) which any Bank is required or requested to maintain shall be affected; or

16.5.5.

there is imposed on any Finance Party with respect to the Indebtedness or the Finance Documents any other condition;

and the result of any of the above shall be to increase the cost to any Bank of making or maintaining its Commitment or to cause any Bank to suffer a material reduction in the rate of return on its overall capital below a level which might reasonably have been anticipated at the date of this Agreement, then, on demand to the Borrowers by the Agent, the Borrowers shall from time to time pay to the Agent for the account of the Bank affected the amount which shall compensate that Bank for such additional cost or reduced return. A certificate signed by an authorised signatory of the Agent setting out the amount of that payment and the basis of its calculation shall be submitted to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive evidence of such amount save for manifest error or on any question of law.

This Clause does not apply to the extent any additional cost or reduced return referred to in this Clause is:

(a)

attributable to a Tax Deduction required by law to be made by a Borrower; or

(b)

attributable to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a party to any Finance Document; or

(c)

compensated for by Clause 18.7 (or would have been compensated for under Clause 18.7 but was not so compensated solely because any of the exclusions in Clause 18.7 applied); or

(d)

attributable to the wilful breach by the relevant Finance Party (or holding company of that Finance Party) of any law or regulation.

For the purpose of this Clause 16.5:

“Basel III” means:

(A)

the agreements on capital requirements, a leverage ratio and liquidity standards contained in “Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems”, “Basel III: International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring” and “Guidance for national authorities operating the countercyclical capital buffer” published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in December 2010, each as amended, supplemented or restated;

(B)

the rules for global systemically important banks contained in “Global systemically important banks: assessment methodology and the additional loss absorbency requirement – Rules text” published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in November 2011, as amended, supplemented or restated; and

(C)

any further guidance or standards published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision relating to “Basel III”.”

“CRD IV” means Directive 2013/36/EU of 26 June 2013 on access to the activity of credit institutions and the prudential supervision of credit institutions and investment firms, amending Directive 2002/87/EC and repealing Directive 2006/48/EC and 2006/49/EC, as amended, supplemented or restated.

“CRR” means Regulation (EU) no. 575/2013 of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms and amending regulation (EU) No. 648/2012, as amended, supplemented or restated.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause 16.5 shall not apply to the Swap Providers or any Master Agreement, the terms of a Master Agreement applying to that Master Agreement in the circumstances detailed in this Clause 16.5.

16.6.

16.6.1.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Finance Documents, the obligations of a Bank to make or maintain its Commitment shall terminate in the event that a change in any law or in the interpretation of any law by any authority charged with its administration shall make it unlawful for that Bank to make or maintain its Commitment, or it becomes unlawful for an Affiliate of a Bank for that Bank to make or maintain its Commitment (but save where, in each case, the reason for such unlawfulness relates to the determination or charging of interest rates based on Term SOFR, in which case Clause 16.6.2 below shall apply instead of this Clause 16.6.1). In such event, the Agent shall, by written notice to the Borrowers, declare the relevant Bank’s obligations to be immediately terminated and, if all or part of the Loan shall have been advanced by the Banks to the Borrowers, the Indebtedness attributable to such Bank (including all accrued interest) shall be repaid no later than thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as the relevant law dictates) from the date of such notice or such earlier date as may be required by the law in question.

16.6.2.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Finance Documents, in the event that a change in any law or in the interpretation of any law by any authority charged with its administration shall make it unlawful for a Bank to determine or charge interest rates based on Term SOFR, the Banks and the Borrowers shall enter into discussions in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days or such shorter period as the Majority Banks and the Borrowers shall agree with a view to agreeing a Replacement Reference Rate. If the Majority Banks and the Borrowers are unable to agree on a Replacement Reference Rate following such discussions, the Agent shall, by written notice to the Borrowers, declare the relevant Bank’s obligations to be immediately terminated and, if all or part of the Loan shall have been advanced by the Banks to the Borrowers, the Indebtedness attributable to such Bank (including all accrued interest) shall be repaid no later than thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as the relevant law dictates) from the date of such notice or such earlier date as may be required by the law in question.

Any prepayment under this Clause 16.6 shall be split between each outstanding Vessel Loan pro rata in accordance with the relevant Bank’s participation in each outstanding Vessel Loan with such split amount for a Vessel Loan being applied towards each remaining Repayment Instalment and (in each case, where applicable) any balloon payment of that Vessel Loan on a pro rata basis, or otherwise in such manner as the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Banks) and the Borrowers shall agree and shall be subject to Clause 5.3.

16.7.

If at any time any Bank shall determine (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest on any Vessel Loan pursuant to this Agreement (and provided no relevant amendment or waiver has been made pursuant to Clause 11.3):

16.7.1.

that Bank shall give notice to the Agent and the Agent shall give notice to the Borrowers of the occurrence of such event; and

16.7.2.

the Agent shall as soon as reasonably practicable certify to the Borrowers in writing the effective cost to the Banks of maintaining that Vessel Loan for such further period as shall be selected by the Banks and the rate of interest payable by the Borrowers for that period; or, if the resulting rate of interest is not acceptable to the Borrowers; and

16.7.3.

the Agent on behalf of and acting on the instructions of the Banks will negotiate with the Borrowers in good faith with a view to modifying this Agreement to provide a substitute basis for that Vessel Loan which is financially a substantial equivalent to the basis provided for in this Agreement.

If, within thirty (30) days of the giving of the notice referred to in Clause 16.7.1, the Borrowers and the Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Banks) shall fail to agree in writing on a substitute basis for that Vessel Loan, the Borrowers will immediately prepay that Vessel Loan in full together with all other Indebtedness associated thereto (as certified by the Agent). Clause 5.3 shall apply to that prepayment.

16.8.

FATCA Deduction

16.8.1

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.

16.8.2

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 Borrowers and the Agent and the Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

16.9.

The Agent shall have no liability to pay any sum to the Borrowers until it has itself received payment of that sum. If, however, the Agent does pay any sum to the Borrowers on account of any amount prospectively due to the Borrowers pursuant to Clause 2 before it has itself received payment of that amount, the Borrowers will, on demand by the Agent, refund to the Agent an amount equal to the sum so paid, together with an amount sufficient to reimburse the Agent for any interest which the Agent may certify that it has been required to pay on money borrowed to fund the sum in question during the period beginning on the date of payment and ending on the date on which the Agent receives reimbursement.

17.

MISCELLANEOUS

18.1.

No failure or delay on the part of any Finance Party in exercising any right, power, discretion or remedy under or pursuant to any of the Finance Documents, nor any actual or alleged course of dealing between any Finance Party and any of the Borrowers, shall operate as a waiver thereof unless expressly agreed to do so in writing by the Banks, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Finance Party of any such right, power, discretion or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise by any Finance Party of any other right, power, discretion or remedy. No variation or amendment of any of the Finance Documents shall be valid unless in writing and signed by or on behalf of all of the Finance Parties.

18.2.

18.4.

If any provision of the Finance Documents shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by reason of any present or future law or any decision of any court, or if the documents at any time held by the Finance Parties be deemed by the Banks for any reason insufficient to carry out the terms of this Agreement, then from time to time the Borrowers will promptly, on demand by the Agent, execute or procure the execution of such further documents as in the reasonable opinion of the Agent are necessary to provide security for the repayment of the Indebtedness similar to that intended to be provided by the Finance Documents.

18.5.

In the event of any Finance Party receiving or recovering any amount payable under any of the Finance Documents (including, without limitation, pursuant to any order, judgment or award given or made in respect of any amount due under a Finance Document) a currency other than the Currency of Account and if the amount received or recovered is insufficient when converted into the Currency of Account at the date of receipt to satisfy in full the amount due, the Borrowers shall, on the Agent’s written demand, pay to the Agent (on behalf of the relevant Finance Parties) such further amount(s) in the Currency of Account as are sufficient to satisfy in full the amount due and such further amount(s) shall be due as a separate debt under this Agreement.

18.6.

The Borrowers are liable for all reasonable expenses incurred by each Finance Party in connection with or incidental to the negotiation, preparation, execution and registration of the Finance Documents (whether or not any of the Finance Documents are actually executed or registered and whether or not all or any part of the Loan is advanced) and of any amendments, addenda or supplements thereto (whether or not completed) and of any other documents which may at any time be required by the Finance Parties to give effect to the terms of any of the Finance Documents or which any Finance Party is entitled to call for or obtain pursuant to the terms of any of the Finance Documents, and all expenses incurred by each Finance Party in connection with or incidental to the exercise of the rights, powers, discretions and remedies of the Finance Parties under or pursuant to the Finance Documents and to the transactions contemplated by or referred to in the Finance Documents.

The Borrowers shall, within fourteen (14) days of submission of the relevant accounts, reimburse each of the Agent and the Security Trustee for the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by each Finance Party in connection with any change arising as a result of an amendment required under Clause 11.3.

18.7.

The Borrowers shall indemnify the Finance Parties against all losses and costs incurred or sustained by any Finance Party as a consequence of any Event of Default or if a Vessel Loan is not advanced on the Advance Date specified in the Drawdown Notice therefor (other than by reason of any default of any Bank) including (without limitation) any Break Costs, any losses and costs incurred by any Bank in liquidating or re-employing fixed deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain all or any part of the Loan or any overdue amount, and any liabilities, expenses or losses incurred by any Bank or by the Agent in terminating or reversing, or otherwise in connection with, any interest rate and/or currency swap or any other transaction or arrangement entered into by any office of any Bank or of the Agent to hedge any exposure arising under this Agreement or in terminating or reversing or otherwise in connection with any open position arising under this Agreement.

18.8.

The Borrowers shall pay all Taxes to which all or any part of the Indebtedness or any of the Finance Documents may be at any time subject and shall indemnify the Finance Parties on demand against all liabilities, costs, claims and expenses resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such Taxes. This Clause shall not apply to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Clause 16.2 or relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a party to any Finance Document.

18.9.

The Borrowers shall cover any cost, loss or liability incurred by any Finance Party in any jurisdiction arising or asserted under or in connection with any law relating to safety at sea, the ISM Code, any environmental laws relating to the Vessels and their operation or any Sanctions.

18.10.

The Borrowers shall, on demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability incurred by such Finance Party as a result of any civil penalty or fine against it, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) incurred by it in connection with the defence against any such civil penalty or fine if they are the result of conduct by any Security Party or any of their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisers, that violates any Sanctions.

18.11.

The Borrowers irrevocably authorise the Agent at any time and from time to time during the Facility Period if the Agent considers it reasonably necessary or appropriate to do so to protect the interest of the Banks in the Insurances, to consult insurance advisers on any matters relating to the Insurances, including, without limitation, the collection of insurance claims. In connection with obtaining the advice of any insurance adviser as aforesaid, the Borrowers irrevocably authorise the Agent to deliver copies of the Finance Documents incorporating covenants in respect of any of the Insurances to such insurance advisers. The Borrowers will provide such advisers and consultants with all reasonable information and documents relating to the insurances which they may from time to time require, and, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, will reimburse the Agent on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the consultation or retention of such advisers or consultants.

18.12.

If any Finance Party shall at any time in its discretion release any party from all or any part of any of the Finance Documents or from any term, covenant, Clause, condition or obligation contained in any of the Finance Documents, the liability of any other party to the Finance Documents shall not be varied or diminished.

18.13.

Any certificate or statement signed by an authorised signatory of the Agent purporting to show the amount of the Indebtedness (or any part of the Indebtedness) or any other amount referred to in any of the Finance Documents shall, save for manifest error or on any question of law, be conclusive evidence as against the Borrowers of that amount.

18.14.

The representations and warranties on the part of the Borrowers contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution of this Agreement and the advance of all or part of the Loan.
