it is signed by an authorised signatory of each Borrower;

5.2.2

it specifies the Vessel being financed by the relevant Drawing;

5.2.3

the proposed Drawdown Date is a Business Day within the Availability Period; and

5.2.4

the proposed Interest Period complies with Clause 9 (Interest Periods).

5.3	Lenders' participation

5.3.1

Subject to Clauses 2 (The Loan), 3 (Purpose) and 4 (Conditions of Utilisation), each Lender shall make its participation in any Drawing available by the relevant Drawdown Date through its Facility Office.

5.3.2

The amount of each Lender's participation in any Drawing will be equal to the proportion borne by its Commitment to the Total Commitments.

5.4	Cancellation of Undrawn Commitments

If the New Tranche (or a part thereof) is not fully utilised by the end of the Availability Period for the New Tranche (or the relevant part thereof), the relevant Commitments will be cancelled at the end of the Availability Period for the New Tranche (or the relevant part thereof) to the extent that they are unutilised at that time, unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent.

5.5

Prepositioning of funds If requested by a Borrower in the Drawdown Request for a New Vessel, the Agent (on account of the Lenders) shall, three (3) Business Days before the Delivery Date, preposition the relevant Drawing under the New Tranche by making payment of such amounts requested in the relevant Drawdown Request:

5.5.1

to such account in such bank (the "Prepositioning Bank") as the relevant Borrower may have agreed with the Agent in advance of the Delivery Date and as specified in the Drawdown Request; and

5.5.2

on terms that:

(a)

the Prepositioning Bank is acceptable to the Agent;

(b)

such amounts shall be held to the order of the Agent until it is released to the Prepositioning Bank according to a separate SWIFT instruction agreed between the Agent and the relevant Borrower

Page 33

(for the avoidance of doubt the Agent shall in its sole discretion decide if it finds the wording of the SWIFT instruction acceptable);

(c)

such prepositioning shall constitute the making of the Drawing and the relevant Borrower shall at that time become indebted, as principal and direct obligor, to the Lenders in an amount equal to the prepositioned funds; and

(d)

the date on which the Drawing is prepositioned shall constitute the Drawdown Date.

6.1.2

Borrower B agrees to repay the Existing Tranche C and the New Tranche,

for the account of the Lenders in the amounts set out in Schedule 9.

After each Drawing in respect of the New Tranche, Schedule 9 shall be adjusted by the Agent to reflect that (i) each Drawing under the New Tranche shall be repaid in 28 quarterly instalments of USD296,323 each and a balloon payment of the remaining outstanding amount of such Drawing which shall be paid together with the last of the 28 instalments and (ii) the first instalment in respect of a Drawing under the New Tranche shall fall due on the first Payment Date which falls at least three calendar months after the Drawdown Date of that Drawing and subsequent instalments falling due at consecutive Payment Dates thereafter and the final instalment and the balloon instalment in respect of that Drawing (as set out in Schedule 9) falling due on the Termination Date of the New Tranche.

6.1.3

Notwhitstanding Clause 6.1.2 above, each Tranche shall be repaid in full no later than on the Termination Date applicable to the relevant Tranche.

6.2

Reduction of Repayment Instalments If the aggregate amount advanced to Borrower B is less than the Commitment in respect of the New Tranche, the amount of each Repayment Instalment in respect of the New Tranche (including the balloon instalment) shall be reduced pro rata to the amount actually advanced.

6.3	Reborrowing The Borrowers may not reborrow any part of the Loan which is repaid or prepaid or cancelled.

7	ILLEGALITY, PREPAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

7.1	Illegality If it becomes unlawful in any jurisdiction (including, without limitation, under applicable Sanctions Laws) for a Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund or maintain its participation in the Loan:

7.1.1

that Lender shall promptly notify the Agent upon becoming aware of that event;

7.1.2

upon the Agent notifying the Borrowers, the Commitment of that Lender will be immediately cancelled; and

7.1.3

the Borrowers shall repay that Lender's participation within ninety (90) days of demand.

7.2	Voluntary cancellation Each Borrower may, if they give the Agent not less than 10 Business Days' (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior notice, cancel the whole or any part (being a minimum amount of USD 1,000,000 of

Page 35

the undrawn amount of the relevant Tranche). Any cancellation under this Clause 7.2 shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders rateably.

7.3	Voluntary prepayment of Loan The Borrowers may prepay the whole or any part of the Loan but, if in part, being an amount that reduces the Loan by a minimum amount of USD 1,000,000 subject as follows:

7.3.1

they give the Agent not less than 10 Business Days' (or such shorter period as the Majority Lenders may agree) prior notice; and

7.3.2

any prepayment under this Clause 7.3 shall satisfy the obligations under Clause 6.1 (Repayment of Loan) pro-rata across maturities.

7.4	[DELIBERATELY NOT USED]

7.5	Right of cancellation and prepayment in relation to a single Lender

7.5.1

If:

(a)

any sum payable to any Lender by the Borrowers is required to be increased under Clause 12.2.2 (Tax gross-up);

(b)

any Lender claims indemnification from the Borrowers under Clause 12.3 (Tax indemnity) or Clause 13.1 (Increased costs);

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 Commitment(s) of that Lender and their intention to procure the repayment of that Lender's participation in the Loan.

7.5.2

On receipt of a notice referred to in Clause 7.5.1 in relation to a Lender, the Commitment(s) of that Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.

7.5.3

On the last day of the Interest Period which ends after the Borrowers have given notice under Clause 7.5.1 in relation to a Lender (or, if earlier, the date specified by the Borrowers in that notice), the Borrowers shall repay that Lender's participation in the Loan together with all interest and other amounts accrued under the Finance Documents.

7.6	Mandatory prepayment on sale or Total Loss

7.6.1

If a Vessel is sold by an Owner, the Borrowers shall, simultaneously with any such sale, prepay the Loan with an amount equal to the Appropriate Amount for such Vessel immediately prior to completion of such sale. Any such prepayment shall be applied first against the Tranche made available to finance that Vessel (and reduce the instalments of such Tranche (including any balloon payment) on a pro rata basis) and secondly in prepayment of such other Tranche and reduce the instalments of such other Tranche (including any balloon payment) on a pro rata basis) as determined by the Borrowers. Any balance shall, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, be at the free disposal of the Borrowers. If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred, all

Page 36

proceeds from a sale of a Vessel shall be applied towards prepayment of the Loan.

7.6.2

If a Vessel becomes a Total Loss, the Borrowers shall on the earlier of (i) 30 days after the date of the Total Loss if the Agent believes, acting reasonably, that the relevant insurer has rightfully refused to meet or rightfully disputes the claim in respect of a Total Loss; (ii) the date falling 180 days after any such Total Loss (which the Agent may extend by a further 180 days if it is satisfied, acting reasonably, that the insurers have accepted liability) and (iii) the date on which the proceeds of any such Total Loss are realised, make a prepayment of the Loan to the extent necessary in an amount equal to the Appropriate Amount for such Vessel immediately prior to such Total Loss. Any such prepayment shall be applied first against the Tranche made available to finance that Vessel (and reduce the instalments of such Tranche (including any balloon payment) on a pro rata basis) and secondly in prepayment of such other Tranche and reduce the instalments of such Tranche (including any balloon payment) on a pro rata basis) as determined by the Borrowers. Any balance shall, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, be at the free disposal of the Borrowers. If a Default has occurred, all insurance proceeds from a Total Loss of a Vessel shall be applied towards prepayment of the Loan.

7.6.3

The Borrowers shall promptly notify the Agent in writing if a Vessel becomes a Total Loss.

7.6.4

The Borrowers shall promptly notify the Agent in writing if they are notified that the relevant insurer refuses to meet or disputes a claim in respect of a Total Loss.

7.7

Right of cancellation in relation to a Defaulting Lender If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers may, at any time whilst the Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender, give the Agent 10 Business Days' notice of cancellation of the Commitment of that Lender. On that notice becoming effective, the Commitment of the Defaulting Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero. The Agent shall as soon as practicable after receipt of that notice notify all the Lenders.

7.8	Mandatory prepayment on Change of Control If there is a Change of Control or Borrower B is delisted from NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S:

7.8.1

the relevant Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent of such Change of Control or delisting as soon as it becomes aware of it;

7.8.2

upon the Lenders becoming aware of such Change in Control or delisting and unless the Lenders agree otherwise in writing, the Commitments will immediately be cancelled and each Borrower shall repay its relevant Tranche (to the extent already advanced prior to the Change of Control) within 7 days of notice from the Agent.

7.9	Restrictions Any notice of prepayment or cancellation given under this Clause 7 shall be irrevocable and, unless a contrary indication appears in this Agreement, shall

Page 37

specify the date or dates upon which the relevant prepayment or cancellation is to be made and the amount of that prepayment or cancellation.

Any prepayment under this Agreement shall be made together with accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, subject to any Interest Break Costs (in respect of which Clause 10.4 applies) and any Break Funding Costs (in respect of which Clause 7.10 applies) without premium or penalty.

The Borrowers shall not repay, prepay or cancel all or any part of the Loan except at the times and in the manner expressly provided for in this Agreement.

No amount of the Total Commitments cancelled under this Agreement may be subsequently reinstated.

If the Agent receives a notice under this Clause 7 it shall promptly forward a copy of that notice to the Borrowers or the affected Lender, as appropriate.

7.10	Break Funding Costs

7.10.1

The Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of demand by DSF, pay to DSF its Break Funding Costs attributable to any prepayment of the Loan.

7.10.2

The Break Funding Costs shall be determined by DSF and shall be binding on the Borrowers save for manifest errors. If the Break Funding Costs are less than zero, the Break Funding Costs shall be deemed to be zero.

7.10.3

For the avoidance of doubt, any Break Funding Costs shall be in addition to and not in substitution of any Interest Break Costs.

7.11	Vessel Substitution

7.11.1

In circumstance contemplated by Clause 7.6, and provided no Default is then in existence, the Borrowers may elect to propose a substitute vessel by the procedure set out in this Clause 7.11.

7.11.2

Instead of making the prepayment in the amount and at the time specified in Clause 7.6, the Borrowers shall place an equivalent amount in the Reserve Account on or before the date the prepayment would otherwise have fallen due (the "Deposit").

7.11.3

The Borrowers may nominate a substitute vessel which shall be a product tanker (XX0, XX0, MR or handy size) of the same age or younger than the Vessel that was sold or declared a Total Loss, and with at least an equivalent Market Value, no less than 10 Business Days prior to the proposed date of substitution.

7.11.4

The Agent, on the instruction of the Majority Lenders acting reasonably, shall give notice to the Borrowers as soon as practicable as to whether or not the nominated substitute vessel is acceptable and fulfils the requirements set out in Clause 7.11.3.

7.11.5

If such nomination is accepted, then the relevant owner shall enter into a guarantee on the same terms as the Guarantee, and other Security

Page 38

Documents relating to the substitute vessel in the same form as the equivalent documents relating to the Vessel which was sold or became a Total loss.

7.11.6

The Agent will specify other conditions precedent to the substitution (to include but not be limited to corporate authorities, legal opinions, evidence of class, evidence of adequate insurance coverage and payment of a fee of $25,000, and a pledge over the shares in the relevant owner in favour of the Security Agent and to be broadly similar to the conditions precedent relating to other drawdowns), and on satisfaction of such conditions the Deposit shall be released.

7.11.7

If the Borrowers elect not to propose a substitute vessel, they may at any time use the Deposit as a prepayment hereunder, to be applied in accordance with Clause 7.6 (Mandatory prepayment on sale or Total Loss).

7.12	Break Gains for Interest Periods in excess of six months If:

7.12.1

the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders) has agreed to an Interest Period in respect of a Tranche being for a duration of more than six (6) months in accordance with Clause 9.1.1 (Duration of Interest Periods); and

7.12.2

a Borrower prepays all or part of the relevant Tranche in accordance with this Clause 7 (Illegality, Prepayment and Cancellation),

that Borrower shall be entitled to be credited with any Break Gains resulting from such prepayment.

Page 39

Section 5 Costs of Utilisation

INTEREST

8.1	Calculation of interest The rate of interest on the Loan for each Interest Period is the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

8.1.1

the relevant Margin; and

8.1.2

LIBOR.

8.2	Payment of interest

8.2.1

Borrower A shall pay accrued interest on Existing Tranche A and Existing Tranche B; and

8.2.2

Borrower B shall pay accrued interest on Existing Tranche C and the New Tranche,

quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date for the period since the relevant Drawing or the previous due date for the period of interest.

8.3

Default interest If either Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Finance Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is two per cent higher than the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non-payment, constituted the Loan in the currency of the overdue amount for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Agent (acting reasonably). Any interest accruing under this Clause 8.3 shall be immediately payable by the Borrowers on demand by the Agent.

Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable.

8.4	Notification of rates of interest The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the determination of a rate of interest under this Agreement.

9	INTEREST PERIODS

9.1	Duration of Interest Periods

9.1.1

Each Interest Period relating to the Existing Tranche A shall be six (6) calendar months, each Interest Period relating to the Existing Tranche B shall be three (3) calendar months and each Interest Period relating to the Existing Tranche C or the New Tranche (save the first) shall be three (3) or six (6) calendar months (at the option of Borrower B) or in either case any other period agreed between the Borrowers and the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Lenders).

9.1.2

An Interest Period shall end on a Payment Date and shall not extend beyond the Termination Date for the relevant Tranche.

Page 40

9.1.3

The first Interest Period in respect of each Drawing shall start on the Drawdown Date of that Drawing and shall end on the following Payment Date; and each subsequent Interest Period in respect of such Drawing shall start on the last day of the preceding Interest Period and end on the Payment Date which falls six (6) calendar months (if it relates to Existing Tranche A), three (3) calendar months (if it relates to Existing Tranche B) or three (3) or six (6) calendar months (if it relates to Existing Tranche C or the New Tranche) after the last day of the preceding Interest Period.

9.1.4

If Borrower B at any time fails to select an Interest Period for Existing Tranche C or the New Tranche in accordance with Clause 9.1.1 by the date falling three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement of an Interest Period, then the interest rate applicable shall be based on an Interest Period of three (3) months.

9.2	Non-Business Days If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, that Interest Period will instead end on the next Business Day in that calendar month (if there is one) or the preceding Business Day (if there is not).

10	CHANGES TO THE CALCULATION OF INTEREST

10.1

Absence of quotations Subject to Clause 10.2 (Market disruption), if LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks but a Reference Bank does not supply a quotation by 11.00 am on the Quotation Day, the applicable LIBOR shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks.

10.2	Market disruption If a Market Disruption Event occurs for any Interest Period, then, subject to Clause 11.3, the rate of interest on each Lender's share of the Loan for that Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of:

10.2.1

the Margin; and

10.2.2

the rate notified to the Agent by that Lender as soon as practicable, to be that which expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select.

10.2.3

In this Agreement "Market Disruption Event" means:

(a)

at or about noon on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period LIBOR is to be determined by reference to the Reference Banks and no Reference Banks supplies a rate to the Agent to determine LIBOR for dollars and the relevant Interest Period; or

(b)

before close of business in London on the Quotation Day for the relevant Interest Period, the Agent receives notifications from a Lender or Lenders that the cost to it of funding its participation in the Loan from whatever source it may reasonably select would be in excess of LIBOR.

Page 41

10.3	Alternative basis of interest or funding

10.3.1

If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Agent or the Borrowers so require, the Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.

10.3.2

Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to Clause 10.3.1 shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrowers, be binding on all Parties.

10.4

Interest Break Costs The Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of demand by a Finance Party, pay to that Finance Party its Interest Break Costs attributable to all or any part of the Loan or Unpaid Sum being paid by the Borrowers on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period for the Loan or Unpaid Sum.

Each Lender shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after a demand by the Agent, provide a certificate confirming the amount of its Interest Break Costs for any Interest Period in which they accrue.

Fees

11.1	Commitment fee

(a)

Borrower B shall pay to the Agent (for the account of the Lenders in proportion to their Commitments) a fee computed at the rate of 35 per cent of the rate specified in the definition of "Margin" on the undrawn amount of the New Tranche from 25 July 2017.

(b)

the accrued commitment fee is payable on the last day of each successive period of three months which ends during the Availability Period, on the last day of the Availability Period, on each Drawdown Date, on each Payment Date and (on the cancelled amount of the relevant Lender's Commitment) at the time the cancellation is effective.

12.2.1

a Borrower shall promptly upon becoming aware that it or any other Security Party must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower and any such other Security Party;

12.2.2

if a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Borrower or any other Security Party, the amount of the payment due from the Borrower or that other Security Party 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;

12.2.3

if a Borrower or any other Security Party is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Borrower shall (and shall procure that such other Security Party 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;

12.2.4

within 30 days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Borrower making that Tax Deduction shall (and shall procure that such other Security Party shall) deliver to the Agent for the Finance Party entitled to the payment

Page 43

evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Finance Party that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority;

12.3	Tax indemnity

12.3.1

Each Borrower shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Tax by that Protected Party in respect of a Finance Document.

12.3.2

Clause 12.3.1 shall not apply:

(a)

with respect to any Tax assessed on a Finance Party:

(i)

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

(ii)

under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Finance Party'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 that Finance Party; or

(b)

to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

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

(ii)

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

12.3.3

12.4	Tax Credit If a Borrower or any other Security Party makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Finance Party determines that:

12.4.1

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 required; and

12.4.2

that Finance Party has obtained and utilised that Tax Credit,

Page 44

that Finance Party shall pay an amount to that Borrower or to that other Security Party which that Finance Party 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 made by that Borrower or that other Security Party.

12.5	Stamp taxes The Borrowers shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Finance Party against any cost, loss or liability that Finance Party incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Finance Document.

12.6

VAT

12.6.1

All amounts expressed to be payable under a Finance Document by any Party or any Security Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to Clause 12.6.2, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party or any Security Party under a Finance Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party or Security Party must pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to the Borrowers).

12.6.2

If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the "Supplier") to any other Finance Party (the "Recipient") under a Finance Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the "Relevant Party") is required by the terms of any Finance Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(a)

(where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this Clause 12.6.2(a) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(b)

(where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

Page 45

12.6.3

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

12.6.4

Any reference in this Clause 12.6 to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term "representative member" to have the same meaning as in the English Value Added Tax Act 1994).

12.6.5

In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any Party under a Finance Document, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that Party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that Party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

12.7	FATCA information

12.7.1

Subject to Clause 12.7.3, each Party shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(a)

confirm to that other Party whether it is:

(i)

a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(ii)

not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(b)

supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA (including its applicable "passthru payment percentage" or other information required under the US Treasury Regulations or other official guidance including intergovernmental agreements) as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with FATCA.

12.7.2

If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to Clause 13.8.1(a)(i) 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.

12.7.3

Clause 12.7.1 shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(a)

any law or regulation;

(b)

any fiduciary duty; or

Page 46

(c)

any duty of confidentiality.

12.7.4

If a Party fails to confirm its status or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with Clause 12.7.1 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where Clause 12.7.3 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 payment percentage" then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of the Finance Documents (and payments made thereunder) as if its applicable "passthru payment percentage" is 100%,

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

12.7.5

If a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor, or where the Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA require it, each Lender shall, within ten Business Days of:

(a)

where a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Lender is an Original Lender, the date of this Agreement;

(b)

where a Borrower is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Lender is a New Lender, the relevant Transfer Date;

(c)

where a Borrower is not a US Tax Obligor, the date of a request from the Agent,

supply to the Agent:

(d)

a withholding certificate on Form W-8 or Form W-9 (or any successor form) (as applicable); or

(e)

any withholding statement and other documentation, authorisations and waivers as the Agent may require to certify or establish the status of such Lender under FATCA.

The Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers it receives from a Lender pursuant to this Clause 12.7.5 to the Borrowers and shall be entitled to rely on any such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided without further verification. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with this Clause 12.7.5.

12.7.6

Each Lender agrees that if any withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers provided to the Agent pursuant to Clause 12.7.5 is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, it shall promptly update such withholding certificate, withholding statement, documentation, authorisations and waivers or promptly notify the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

17.5

Additional security If at any time the aggregate of the Market Value of the Existing Vessels and the New Vessels (which shall be calculated on a semi-annual basis on or around 30 June and 31 December each year by two valuations from Approved Shipbrokers appointed by the Borrower) and the value of any additional security for the time being provided to the Security Agent under this Clause 17.5,

Page 55

such value to be the face amount of any deposit (in the case of cash), to be determined conclusively by appropriate advisors (acting reasonably) appointed by the Agent (in the case of other charged assets) and determined by the Agent in its discretion acting reasonably (in all other cases) is less than 133% of the Loan then outstanding less any amount standing to the credit of the Reserve Account and the value of any additional security for the time being provided to the Security Agent under this Clause 17.5 (the "LTV Coverage"), the Borrowers shall, within 30 days of the Agent's written request and at the Borrowers' option:

17.5.1

pay into the Reserve Account a cash deposit in such amount as when deducted from the Loan reduces the excess to zero to be secured in favour of the Security Agent as additional security for the payment of the Indebtedness; or

17.5.2

give to the Security Agent other additional security in amount and form acceptable to the Security Agent in its discretion acting reasonably to provide security for such excess, it being agreed that any XX0, XX0, MR or handy size product tanker of less than 15 years old shall be acceptable; or

The Agent may, at any time during the Facility Period, test the LTV Coverage by obtaining valuations from any two Approved Shipbrokers appointed by it (in which case the average of the of the vauations shall form the basis for determining the compliance with this Clause) with any such valuations being at the cost of the Agent unless an Event of Default is continuing in which case they shall be at the cost of the Borrowers.

Any additional security granted and/or cash deposit made pursuant to this Clause 17.5 shall be discharged or released (in whole or in part) by the Security Agent (at the Borrowers' cost) in the event that the LTV Coverage (without relying on such part of the additional security granted and/or cash deposit made as is to be released) is complied with on the next day of testing, or is again complied with as evidenced by two valuations from the same Approved Shipbrokers as gave the immediately preceding valuations, appointed by the Borrowers. This shall be without prejudice to the Agent's right to make any request under this Clause 17.5 should the value of the remaining security (as evidenced by updated valuations from the same two Approved Shipbrokers) subsequently merit it.

If and for so long as the Borrowers fails to satisfy the obligations arising from the Agent's request under this Clause 17.5 the Borrowers shall, if so demanded by the Agent, compensate the Lenders for the increased risk in relation to the Loan by paying interest on the Loan at a rate calculated in accordance with Clause 8.3 (Default interest) as if the whole of the outstanding Loan were an overdue amount. Any such interest shall accrue

Page 56

in accordance with Clause 32.3 (Day count convention) and be payable by the Borrowers in accordance with Clause 8.2 (Payment of interest) and shall be without prejudice to any other right or remedy any Finance Party may have under Clause 13 (Increased Costs) or Clause 22.34.1 (Events of Default).

A Vessel shall not be included in the calculation of the LTV Coverage unless a Mortgage has been registered and remain registered against such Vessel.

17.6	Release of Mortgages

If:

17.6.1

the Borrowers make a voluntary prepayment in accorordance with Clause 7.3 (Voluntary Prepayment of Loan) in respect of a certain Tranche; or

17.6.2

the Borrowers make a balloon payment on the Termination Date in respect of a certain Tranche in accordance with Schedule 9,

(each a "Payment") the Borrowers may require that the Mortgage(s) over one or more of the Vessels financed by that Tranche and the other Security Documents in respect of such Vessel(s) (but not any Vessels financed by other Tranches) be released after such Payment, provided that

(a)

the Borrowers notify the Agent of such requirement no later than 10 Business Days prior to the such Payment;

(c)

the LTV Coverage exceeds 133% after such Payment and release;

(d)

guarantees to each Finance Party punctual performance by each other Security Party of all that Security Party's obligations under the Finance Documents (insofar as those obligations relate to the Existing Tranche A and the Existing Tranche B);

Page 57

(b)

undertakes with each Finance Party that whenever another Security Party does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with any Finance Document (insofar as such payment relates to the Existing Tranche A and the Existing Tranche B), Guarantor A shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor; and

(c)

agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal (insofar as the obligation relates to the Existing Tranche A and the Existing Tranche B), it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Security Party not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by Guarantor A under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 18 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

18.1.2

Guarantor B irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)

(b)

(c)

agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal (insofar as the obligation relates to Existing Tranche C and the New Tranche), it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Security Party not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due.

The amount payable by the Owners (in their capacity as guarantors) under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 18 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

18.5

Waiver of defences The obligations of the Guarantors under this Clause 18 will not be affected by an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 18, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 18 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:

18.5.1

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

18.5.6

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

Immediate recourse The Guarantors waive any right they may have of first requiring any Finance Party (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 the Guarantors under this Clause 18. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.

18.8	Appropriations Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Security Parties under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:
