"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) Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Clause 12 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) reference to "determines" or "determined" means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination.

(c) This Clause 12 (Tax Gross Up and Indemnities) shall not apply to any Hedging Agreement.

(a) Each Obligor shall make all payments to be made by it without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

(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

(A) 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.

42

(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) 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;

(i) has a net realisable value at least equal to the shortfall;

(ii) is acceptable to the Lender in its absolute discretion; and

(iii) 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.

in discharge of the Borrowers' liability for that Repayment Instalment or that interest.

26.6 Interest accrued on Retention Account

Any credit balance on the Retention Account shall bear interest at the rate from time to time offered by the Account Bank to its customers for dollar deposits of similar amounts and for periods similar to those for which such balances appear to the Account Bank likely to remain on the Retention Account.

Dear Sirs

Re: Loan facility agreement relating to m.ts. "NISSOS DONOUSSA" and "NISSOS KYTHNOS" with IMO nos. 9853840 and 9853852, respectively (the Vessels)

(ii) the ISDA master agreements in 2002 Multi-Currency – Cross Border form together with a schedule thereto dated 23 May 2022 made between the Lender (in its capacity as swap provider) and each Borrower as hedging borrower, pursuant to which each Borrower has entered into certain Transactions (as defined therein) to hedge its exposure under the Facility Agreement to interest rate fluctuations.

(B) Following discussions, the Obligors acknowledge that the discontinuation of LIBOR is affecting a great number of floating rate Dollar loan facilities (including the Loan Facility) as they will need to be amended to provide for the use of a replacement benchmark rate.

(C) Accordingly, the Obligors have requested that the Facility Agreement and the other Finance Documents be amended and supplemented on the terms of this Agreement which addresses the discontinuation of LIBOR and:

(i) sets out the terms for the replacement of LIBOR as the benchmark rate for the calculation of interest under the Facility Agreement by a successor rate (the LIBOR Replacement); and

(ii) effects the consequential amendments to the Facility Agreement and the other Finance Documents necessary to give effect to the LIBOR Replacement,

while so far as possible not affecting any other provisions of the Finance Documents or any other rights or obligations of any parties to the Finance Documents. The Lender has agreed to such request subject to the terms of this letter.

Obligors means the Borrowers and the Corporate Guarantor.

Supplementary Mortgage Documentation means:

(a) a mortgage addendum to the first preferred Marshall Islands ship mortgage dated 25 May 2022 granted over "NISSOS DONOUSSA" by Borrower A in favour of the Lender; and

(b) a mortgage addendum to the first preferred Marshall Islands ship mortgage dated 25 May 2022 granted over "NISSOS KYTHNOS" by Borrower B in favour of the Lender,

and, in each case, in such form as the Lender may approve or require.
