If the Borrower fails to pay when due any sum representing principal on, or interest in respect of, the Loan (or any part thereof) pursuant to this Agreement, the Facility Agent shall be entitled (acting upon the instructions of all the Lenders) to apply any balance on the Debt Service Reserve Account towards payment of any such unpaid amount and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorises the Facility Agent to make such application. If any of the monies on the Debt Service Reserve Account are applied in the manner aforesaid, the Borrower shall ensure that promptly following such application monies are transferred to the Debt Service Reserve Account so that the balance thereon is at least equal to the balance which the Borrower is required to maintain pursuant to this Clause 18.2.

18.3 | Interest accrued on Debt Service Reserve Account

The Borrower shall promptly:

(a) | comply with any requirement of the Facility Agent as to the location or re-location of the Accounts (or any of them); and

and in respect of any tax (other than tax on its overall net income) for which a Creditor Party is liable in connection with any amount paid or payable to that Creditor Party (whether for its own account or otherwise) under any Finance Document.

21.2 | Break Costs

If a Lender (the “Notifying Lender”) notifies the Facility Agent that as a consequence of receipt or recovery of all or any part of the Loan (a “Payment”) on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the sum received or recovered the Notifying Lender has or will, with effect from a specified date, incur Break Costs:

In this Clause 21.2, “Break Costs” means, in relation to a Payment the amount (if any) by which:

| (i) | the interest which the Notifying Lender, should have received in respect of the sum received or recovered from the date of receipt or recovery of such Payment to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to the sum received or recovered had such Payment been made on the last day of such interest Period;

exceeds

68

| (ii) | the amount which the Notifying Lender, would be able to obtain by placing an amount equal to such Payment on deposit with a leading bank in the London Interbank Market for a period commencing on the Business Day following receipt or recovery of such Payment (as the case may be) and ending on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to the sum received or recovered.

21.3 | Other breakage costs

Without limiting its generality, Clause 21.1 covers any claim, expense, liability or loss, including a loss of prospective profit, incurred by a Lender in borrowing, liquidating or re-employing deposits from third parties acquired, contracted for or arranged to fund, effect or maintain all or any part of its Contribution and/or any overdue amount (or an aggregate amount which includes its Contribution or any overdue amount) other than claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are shown to have been directly and mainly caused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the officers or employees of the Creditor Party concerned.

21.4 | Miscellaneous indemnities

The Borrower shall fully indemnify each Creditor Party severally on their respective demands, without prejudice to any of their other rights under any of the Finance Documents, in respect of all claims, proceedings, liabilities, taxes, losses and expenses of every kind which may be made or brought against or sustained or incurred by a Creditor Party, in any country, as a result of or in connection with:

(a) | any action taken, or omitted or neglected to be taken, under or in connection with any Finance Document by the Facility Agent, the Security Trustee or any other Creditor Party or by any receiver appointed under a Finance Document;

other than claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are shown to have been directly and mainly caused by the dishonesty, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the officers or employees of the Creditor Party concerned.

Without prejudice to its generality, Clause 21.1 and this Clause 21.4 cover any claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which arise, or are asserted, under or in connection with any law relating to safety at sea, the ISM Code, the ISPS Code or any Environmental Law.

21.5 | Environmental Indemnity

Without prejudice to its generality, Clause 21.3 covers any claims, demands, proceedings, liabilities, taxes, losses or expenses of every kind which arise, or are asserted, under or in connection with any law relating to safety at sea, pollution or the protection of the environment, the ISM Code or the ISPS Code.

21.6 | Currency indemnity

If any sum due from the Borrower or any Security Party 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, whether in its liquidation, any arrangement involving it or otherwise; or

69

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

(c) | enforcing any such order, judgment or award,

the Borrower shall as an independent obligation, within 3 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 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 the Creditor Party concerned against any cost, loss or liability arising directly or indirectly from any conversion of such Sum to the Contractual Currency.

This Clause 21.6 creates a separate liability of the Borrower which is distinct from its other liabilities under the Finance Documents and which shall not be merged in any judgment or order relating to those other liabilities.

21.7 | Application to Master Agreement

For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 21.4 does not apply in respect of sums due from the Borrower to the Swap Bank under or in connection with the Master Agreement as to which sums the provisions of section 8 (Contractual Currency) of the Master Agreement shall apply.

21.8 | Certification of amounts

A notice which is signed by 2 officers of a Creditor Party, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due to that Creditor Party under this Clause 21 and which indicates (without necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of which the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall be prima facie evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due.

21.9 | Sums deemed due to a Lender

For the purposes of this Clause 21, a sum payable by the Borrower to the Facility Agent or the Security Trustee for distribution to a Lender shall be treated as a sum due to that Lender.

70

22 | NO SET-OFF OR TAX DEDUCTION

22.1 | No deductions

All amounts due from the Borrower under a Finance Document shall be paid:

(a) | without any form of set-off, counter-claim or condition; and

(b) | free and clear of any tax deduction except a tax deduction which the Borrower is required by law to make.

22.2 | Grossing-up for taxes

(a) | the Borrower shall notify the Facility Agent as soon as it becomes aware of the requirement;

(b) | the amount due in respect of the payment shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that, after the making of such tax deduction, each Creditor Party receives and retains (free from any liability relating to the tax deduction) a net amount which, after the tax deduction, is equal to the full amount which it would have received had no such tax deduction been required to be made; and

(c) | the Borrower shall pay the full amount of the tax required to be deducted to the appropriate taxation authority promptly in accordance with the relevant law, regulation or regulatory requirement, and in any event before any fine or penalty arises.

22.3 | Indemnity and evidence of payment of taxes

The Borrower shall fully indemnify each Creditor Party on the Facility Agent’s demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses incurred by any Creditor Party by reason of:

(a) | any failure of the Borrower to make any tax deduction; or

(b) | any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment in accordance with Clause 22.2; or

(c) | without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 22.2, any payment on account of tax required to be made by a Creditor Party solely as a result of that Creditor Party’s entry into any Finance Document (not being a tax imposed on the net income of that Creditor Party by the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, or the jurisdiction in which it is located or on the capital of that Creditor Party employed in such jurisdiction or jurisdictions) on any sum received or receivable under the Finance Documents (including, without limitation, any sum received or receivable under this Clause 22.3) or any liability in respect of any such payment is asserted, imposed, levied or assessed against that Creditor Party.

| (B) | supply to the requesting party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable “passthru percentage” or other information required under the Treasury regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as the requesting party reasonably requests for the purposes of such requesting party’s compliance with FATCA.

| (ii) | If a party to any Finance Document confirms to another party pursuant to Clause 22.5(a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not, or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that party shall notify that other party reasonably promptly.

| (iii) | Sub-clause (i) above shall not oblige any Creditor Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation, any policy of that party, any fiduciary duty or any duty of confidentiality, or to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns and calculations); provided, however, that information required (or equivalent to the information so required) by United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8 or W-9 (or any successor forms) shall not be treated as confidential information of such party for purposes of this Sub-clause (iii).

| (iv) | If a party to any Finance Document fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with sub-clause (i) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where sub-clause (iii) above applies), then:

| (A) | if that party failed to confirm whether it is (and/or remains) a FATCA Exempt Party then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

| (B) | if that party failed to confirm its applicable passthru percentage then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable passthru percentage is 100 per cent.,

until (in each case) such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(b) | FATCA Gross-Up

| (i) | If the Borrower or any Security Party making a payment under a Finance Document is required to make a FATCA Deduction, the Borrower or Security Party shall make that FATCA Deduction and shall make a payment to the United States government within the time allowed and in the amount required by FATCA.

| (ii) | If a FATCA Deduction is required to be made by the Borrower or any Security Party, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower or any Security Party shall be increased to an amount which (after making any FATCA Deductions) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no FATCA Deduction had been required.

72

| (iii) | Each of the Borrower and the Security Parties shall promptly upon becoming aware that a FATCA Deduction is required (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of a FATCA Deduction) notify the Facility Agent accordingly.

| (v) | Each Creditor Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make under FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and none of the Creditor Parties shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction. A Creditor Party which becomes aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to another party (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of such FATCA Deduction) shall notify that party and the Facility Agent.

| (vi) | If the Facility Agent is required to make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Creditor Party which relates to a payment by the Borrower or any Security Party, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower or Security Party, as the case may be, shall be increased to an amount which (after the Facility Agent has made such FATCA Deduction) leaves the Facility Agent with an amount equal to the payment which would have been made by the Facility Agent if no FATCA Deduction had been required.

| (vii) | The Facility Agent shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment to a Lender which relates to a payment by the Borrower or any Security Party (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such a FATCA Deduction) notify the Borrower and the relevant Lender.

(c) | FATCA Indemnity

| (i) | The Borrower shall (within 3 Business Days of demand by the Facility Agent) indemnify each Creditor Party and pay to each such Creditor Party an amount equal to the taxes, losses, liabilities or costs which such Creditor Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered by such party as a result of the Borrower or any Security Party making a FATCA Deduction in respect of a payment due to such Creditor Party under a Finance Document, or any taxes, penalties, interest or other amounts being asserted against or imposed on such Creditor Party by any taxing authority of or in the United States under FATCA.

| (ii) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any Creditor Party is a FATCA Exempt Party, and after reasonable request of the Borrower at least 60 days prior to the next interest payment date, such Creditor Party has not provided the Borrower with written confirmation that it is a FATCA Exempt Party on or prior to the next Interest payment date after such request, then, unless the status of such party under FATCA is publicly published by the United States Government or is otherwise publicly available in connection with FATCA, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify such Creditor Party for United States Federal taxes imposed under FATCA pursuant to this Clause 22.5 until such time as such Creditor Party shall have provided written notification of its status as a FATCA Exempt Party.

73

| (iii) | A Creditor Party making, or intending to make, a claim under sub-clause (i) above shall promptly notify the Facility Agent of the FATCA Deduction which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower.

(d) | No Double FATCA Indemnity

This Clause 22.5 shall be the sole remedy for the payment of any United States Federal taxes imposed under FATCA and no such FATCA taxes shall be paid or indemnified under Clause 21 or any other sub-clause of Clause 22.

(e) | FATCA Mitigation

| (i) | If a FATCA Deduction is or will be required to be made by the Borrower under Clause 22.5(b) or (c) in respect of a payment to any FATCA Non-Exempt Lender, the Borrower may (but shall not be required to), in addition to making any FATCA Deductions already required and any associated gross-up and indemnity payments under this Clause 22.5, elect to either:

| (A) | Prepay in full the Contribution of the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender (plus accrued and unpaid interest, the Mandatory Cost, if any, and all other amounts then due the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender) in accordance with and subject to the conditions of Clause 8 upon 15 days’ written notice to the Facility Agent and such FATCA Non-Exempt Lender, specifying the amount to be prepaid, the date on which the prepayment is to be made and the basis for the FATCA Deduction, or

| (B) | if no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, nominate one or more Transferee Lenders who upon becoming a Lender would be an Exempt FATCA Party, by notice in writing to the Facility Agent and the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender specifying the terms of the proposed transfer, and, subject to sub-clause (ii) below, cause such Transferee Lender(s) to purchase all of the FATCA Non-Exempt Lender’s Contribution and Commitment.

| (ii) | If the Borrower elects to nominate one or more Transferee Lenders under Clause 22.5(e)(i)(B), the relevant FATCA Non-Exempt Lender shall transfer its Contribution and Commitment to such Transferee Lender(s), but only after such FATCA Non-Exempt Lender has received one or more payments from the Borrower and such Transferee Lender(s) in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding Contribution of such FATCA Non-Exempt Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such Contribution and all other amounts payable to such FATCA Non-Exempt Lender under the Finance Documents.

| (iii) | If a FATCA Deduction is or will be required to be made by the Borrower under Clause 22.5(b) or (c) in respect of a payment to any Creditor Party as a result of the Facility Agent not being a FATCA Exempt Party, at the written request of the Creditor Party, the Facility Agent shall resign and a successor Facility Agent who is a FATCA Exempt Party shall be appointed pursuant to the Agency and Trust Deed.

24 | INCREASED COSTS

24.1 | Increased costs

This Clause 24 applies if a Lender (the “Notifying Lender”) notifies the Facility Agent that the Notifying Lender considers that as a result of:

(a) | the introduction or alteration after the date of this Agreement of a law or an alteration after the date of this Agreement in the manner in which a law is interpreted or applied (disregarding any effect which relates to the application to payments under this Agreement of a tax on a Lender’s overall net income); or

In this Clause 24, “increased costs” means, in relation to a Notifying Lender:

(a) | an additional or increased cost incurred as a result of, or in connection with, the Notifying Lender having entered into, or being a party to, this Agreement or a Transfer Certificate or an Additional Lender’s Certificate or having taken an assignment of rights under this Agreement, of funding or maintaining its Commitment or Contribution or performing its obligations under this Agreement, or of having outstanding all or any part of its Contribution or other unpaid sums;

79

(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;
