17.4 Notice of variation of order of application

The Borrower undertakes with each Creditor Party that, throughout the Security Period:

18.2 Monthly retentions

The Borrower undertakes with each Creditor Party to ensure that, on and from the date on which an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default has occurred and at monthly intervals thereafter during the Security Period whilst such an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default is continuing, there are transferred to the Retention Account out of the Earnings received in the Earnings Accounts during the preceding month:

(a) one-third of the amount of the Instalment falling due under Clause 8.1 on the next Repayment Date; and

(b) the relevant fraction of the aggregate amount of interest on the Loan which is payable on the next due date for payment of interest for the Loan under this Agreement,

and the Borrower irrevocably authorises the Agent to make those transfers (in its sole discretion and without any obligation) if the Borrower fails to do so.

The "relevant fraction", in relation to paragraph (b), is a fraction of which the numerator is 1 and the denominator the number of months comprised in the then current Interest Period applicable to the Loan (or if the current Interest Period ends after the next due date for payment of interest under this Agreement, the number of months from the later of the commencement of the current Interest Period or the last due date for payment of interest to the next due date for payment of interest under this Agreement).

71 EUROPE/71630549v6

18.3 Shortfall in Earnings

If the aggregate Earnings received in the Earnings Accounts are insufficient at any time for the required amount to be transferred to the Retention Account under Clause 18.2, the Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of the insufficiency into the Retention Account.

18.4 Application of retentions

Until an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default occurs, the Agent shall, to the extent there are sufficient funds standing to the credit of the Retention Account, on each Repayment Date and on each due date for the payment of interest in respect of the Loan under this Agreement distribute to the Lenders in accordance with Clause (a) so much of the then balance on the Retention Account as equals:

(a) the Instalment due on that Repayment Date pursuant to Clause 8.1; or

(b) the amount of interest in respect of the Loan payable on that interest payment date,

in discharge of the Borrower's liability for that Instalment or that interest.

18.5 Interest accrued on the Accounts

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

18.6 Release of accrued interest

Interest accruing under Clause 18.5 shall be credited to the relevant Account and may be released to the Borrower pursuant to Clause 18.10.

18.7 Location of Accounts

The Borrower shall promptly:

(a) comply or, as the case may be, procure compliance by the Owner, with any requirement of the Agent as to the location or re-location of the Accounts (or any of them); and

18.8 Debits for fees, expenses etc.

The Agent shall be entitled (but not obliged) from time to time to debit the Earnings Account without prior notice in order to discharge any amount due and payable under Clauses 20 or 21 to a Creditor Party or payment of which any Creditor Party has become entitled to demand under Clauses 20 or 21.

18.9 Borrower's obligations unaffected

The provisions of this Clause 18 (as distinct from a distribution effected under Clause 18.4) do not affect:

72 EUROPE/71630549v6

(a) the liability of the Borrower to make payments of principal and interest on the due dates; or

(b) any other liability or obligation of the Borrower or any Security Party or any Approved Manager under any Finance Document.

18.10 Restriction on withdrawal

During the Security Period no sum may be withdrawn by the Borrower from the Retention Account (other than interest accruing thereon pursuant to Clause 18.6, provided that no Event of Default which is continuing has occurred), without the prior written consent of the Agent.

The Owner may, in any calendar month, after having transferred and/or after having taken into account all amounts due or which will become due to be transferred to the Retention Account in such calendar month in accordance with Clause 18.2, withdraw any surplus (a "Surplus") from its Earnings Account as it may think fit for purposes permitted by this Agreement and the other Finance Documents Provided always that if an Event of Default which is continuing has occurred, the Borrower shall procure that any Surplus shall remain on the relevant Earnings Account and the Owner may only withdraw the Surplus (or any part thereof) with the prior written consent of the Agent (acting upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders) in order to satisfy the documented and properly incurred operating expenses of the Ship.

If any sum due from the Borrower or any Security Party or any Approved Manager to a Creditor Party under a Finance Document or under any order, award or judgment relating to a Finance Document (a "Sum") has to be converted from the currency in which the Finance Document provided for the Sum to be paid (the "Contractual Currency") into another currency (the "Payment Currency") for the purpose of:

(a) making, filing or lodging any claim or proof against the Borrower or any Security Party or any Approved Manager, whether in its liquidation, any arrangement involving it or otherwise; or

(b) obtaining an order, judgment or award from any court or other tribunal in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings; or

the Borrower shall as an independent obligation, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify the Creditor Party to whom that Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising when the payment actually received by that Creditor Party is converted at the available rate of exchange back into the Contractual Currency including any discrepancy between (A) the rate

82 EUROPE/71630549v6

of exchange actually used to convert the Sum from the Payment Currency into the Contractual Currency and (B) the available rate of exchange.

In this Clause 21.6, the "available rate of exchange" means the rate at which the Creditor Party concerned is able at the opening of business (London time) on the Business Day after it receives the Sum to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency.

The Borrower waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Finance Documents in a currency other than that in which it is expressed to be payable.

If any Creditor Party receives any Sum in a currency other than the Contractual Currency, the Borrower shall indemnify in full the Creditor Party concerned against any cost, loss or liability arising directly or indirectly from any conversion of such Sum to the Contractual Currency.

amount which is equal to the full amount which it would have received had no such tax deduction been required to be made; and

26 Transfers and Changes in Lending Offices

26.1 Transfer by Borrower

The Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights, liabilities or obligations under any Finance Document.

26.2 Transfer by a Lender

(a) its rights in respect of all or part of its Contribution; or

(b) its obligations in respect of all or part of its Commitment; or

(c) a combination of (a) and (b); or

(d) all or part of its credit risk under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents,

However any rights and obligations of the Transferor Lender in its capacity as Agent or Security Trustee will have to be dealt with separately in accordance with the Agency and Trust Deed.

The prior consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) is required for a syndication or, (in the case of its rights) assignment, pledge or

89 EUROPE/71630549v6

transfer, or (in the case of its obligations) pledge or assumption pursuant to this Clause 26.2, unless:

(i) the Transferee Lender is another Lender or an affiliate or a company or financial institution which is in the same ownership or control as one of the Lenders; or

(ii) an Event of Default has occurred at the relevant time.

With respect to the Transferor Lender's notice requesting the Borrower's consent under this Clause 26.2, such consent shall be deemed granted if the Borrower has failed to object to such request by written notice to the Transferor Lender within five Business Days from the Borrower's receipt of the Transferor Lender's notice.

(b) on behalf of the Transferee Lender, send to the Borrower and each Security Party letters or faxes notifying them of the Transfer Certificate and attaching a copy of it; and

(c) send to the Transferee Lender copies of the letters or faxes sent under paragraph (b) above.

A Transfer Certificate becomes effective on the date, if any, specified in the Transfer Certificate as its effective date, Provided that it is signed by the Agent under Clause 26.3 on or before that date.

26.5 No transfer without Transfer Certificate

Except as provided in Clause 26.17, no assignment or transfer of any right or obligation of a Lender under any Finance Document is binding on, or effective in relation to, the Borrower, any Security Party, the Agent or the Security Trustee unless it is effected, evidenced or perfected by a Transfer Certificate.

26.6 Lender re-organisation; waiver of Transfer Certificate

However, if a Lender enters into any merger, de-merger or other reorganisation as a result of which all its rights or obligations vest in another person (the "successor"), the successor shall become a Lender with the same Commitment and Contribution as were held by the predecessor Lender only upon receipt by the Agent of a notice to this effect and evidence that all rights and obligations have automatically and by operation of law vested in the successor by virtue of the merger, de-merger or other reorganisation, without the need for the execution and delivery of a Transfer Certificate; the Agent shall in that event inform the Borrower and the Security Trustee accordingly.

90 EUROPE/71630549v6

26.7 Effect of Transfer Certificate

A Transfer Certificate takes effect in accordance with English law as follows:

(a) to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate, all rights and interests (present, future or contingent) which the Transferor Lender has under or by virtue of the Finance Documents are assigned to the Transferee Lender absolutely, free of any defects in the Transferor Lender's title and of any rights or equities which the Borrower or any Security Party had against the Transferor Lender;

(b) the Transferor Lender's Commitment is discharged to the extent specified in the Transfer Certificate;

(c) the Transferee Lender becomes a Lender with the Contribution previously held by the Transferor Lender and a Commitment of an amount specified in the Transfer Certificate;

(d) the Transferee Lender becomes bound by all the provisions of the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally, including those about pro-rata sharing and the exclusion of liability on the part of, and the indemnification of, the Agent and the Security Trustee and, to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes bound by those provisions (other than those relating to exclusion of liability), the Transferor Lender ceases to be bound by them;

(e) any part of the Loan which the Transferee Lender advances after the Transfer Certificate's effective date ranks in point of priority and security in the same way as it would have ranked had it been advanced by the transferor, assuming that any defects in the transferor's title and any rights or equities of the Borrower or any Security Party against the Transferor Lender had not existed;

(f) the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to all the rights under the Finance Documents which are applicable to the Lenders generally, including but not limited to those relating to the Majority Lenders and those under Clause 5.6 and Clause 20, and to the extent that the Transferee Lender becomes entitled to such rights, the Transferor Lender ceases to be entitled to them; and

(g) in respect of any breach of a warranty, undertaking, condition or other provision of a Finance Document or any misrepresentation made in or in connection with a Finance Document, the Transferee Lender shall be entitled to recover damages by reference to the loss incurred by it as a result of the breach or misrepresentation, irrespective of whether the original Lender would have incurred a loss of that kind or amount.
